BAPTIST CONVENTION.
Will Meet in Hot Springs. Arkan.
sas, Next Friday.
The Whitsett Matter. Having Been Settled.
Is no Longer a Drawing Card-Reports
of the Boards to BIO Subn,ltted-Foreign
Board Did Well.

The attention of all the Baptists Of
the South is now fixed upon their great
convention. to be held at Hot Springs,
beginning next Friday. May 18th. The
sessions Of the convention will be held
in the assembly hall of the Eastman
Hotel. The convention, as usual. will
last five or six days. It's officers are
former Governor w. J. Northern, OF
Georgia, president; DR.. Lauring Bur-
rows. Of Nashville, secretary, and Rev.
Oliver S. Gregory, OF Baltimore. as
sistant secretary. No change in the
officers is anticipated this year.
| For the past several years the at
| tendance on the convention has been
unusually large. This has been due
partly TO the fact that the convention
has been held in great centres of Bap-
fist population. Hot Springs is geo
graphically near the centre OF the south
country, but an eastern city would be
nearer the centre of the population.
Another reason for notably large at
tendance is that every year 1t was ex-
pected that the "Whtsitt matter
never did directly, as is recalled. but
was settled by DR.. Whitsitt's resign
ing his connection with the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary. If the
affair has come up in the convention
DR.. Whtsitt's friends wanted to be
there to champion his and their cause.
His opponents wanted to be there, too.
SO both sides went.
SPLENDID FOR FOREIGN MIS-
| SIONS.
The convention this year so far as
can be seen now, will be accompanied
with discussions Of the reports of the
| three boards under the control of the
convention--the Foreign Mission Board,
Home Mission Board and Sunday
School Board The report of the For
.eign Board will send a flush of gratifi-
cation to many q cheek. About 200
more was raised for foreign missions
this year than last year-that is, an in
crease Of near 25 per cent. That board
| has It's headquarters In Richmond.
Prof. Charles H. Winston is president;
Rev. r. J. Wellingham. D. D., is cor
| responding secretary, and Rev. r. E.
| Virginia leads all the States in contri-
buttons to this board. This year she
leads the next ARCHAEOLOGICAL
s2.i0O.
The officers Of the other boards are:
| Home Mission-Dr. w w. Landrum
president: DR.. r. H. Kerfact, D. D..
secretary: headquarters, Atlanta.
Sunday School Board-Dr. J. M. Frost
secretary; headquarters, Nashville.
The reports from these boards will
also be encouraging. The past year
has been good one on the Baptists of
| the South.

WINNING TICKET IS NAMED.
Continued from Page one. }

I porary organization was made perma-
| nent; ..l. t
The chairman then called for nomina-
| tions, and Walter Price, of Westerly.
made n brief, but eloquent speech, in
which he placed in nomination as con-
gressional candidate from the Second dis
trict. Adm B Capron, of Smithheld. The
nomination was warmly seconded Dy
Oscar Newell OF Central Falls.
non. Adm II. Capron was then unani-
mously renominated, and upon reaching
the platform was received with prolonged
applause and loud cheers.
I Mr.. capron. In the happy vein which Is
characteristic of him, returned his sin
cere thanks "a the convention for the
nomination. He paid a high tribute TO
William Mckinley and spoke of how tho
promises made TO the Republican party
four years ago had been faithfully full
filled. IL had been his privilege and pleas
ure TO see to IL, i'm part, that the Ameri-
can flag stood, as n never stood before.
FOR one of the greatest nations OF the
earth.
Prosperity protection aud progress
nave all followed as result of the pol
Icy OF the Republican administration, and
i'm this policy he had aided as far as was
I'm his power.
We are confronted today by an army
which says that this country should take
"a second place. by an army which says
tnht We should nave a D0-cent dollar, and
by an army that is trying To aralgn the
workingman against his employer All
these things we have To confront In the
coming campaign.
He had been up and down the stat but
could not find a man who would call back
our boys today from the Philippines In
dishonor, until the flag can be honorably
retired. He could not find a man who
wanted a debased dollar. and he could
not find a man who had a word TO say
against the protective policy OF the gov
ernment.
He did not believe that 100 men could be
found today I'm Rhode Island. who, II
they told the truth. would say that they
believed that the election of William Jen-
nings Bryan would be good thing for
the state and country.
There is no apathy I'm Rhode Island i'm
spite of what some people say, but the
fact is that the people are too busy 10
hang around and talk politics, for every
man is at work. but they will vote right
on election day.
Mr.. Capron closed his remarks by prom
ising that he would always do all I'm his
power, If elected. for the good of the
state. and will work for every man, wo-
man and child in the Western district,
independent OF party.
The usual motion TO fill vacancies was
made. and the Second district convention
was adjourned.

MATTERS OF STATE CONCERN.

Two important matters OF state concern
will be acted upon AT the next election:
First. the authority 10 borrow 100000,
for the completion and furnishing of the
State house and grounds, this should re-
ceiye the hearty support OF all voters ir-
respective OF party who desire the COM
pletion OF that beautiful structure.
1t is a credit 10 the state and an honor
TO fits builders and there should be no de-
lay I'm completing both its usefulnes and
it's beauty
Second. the proposed amendment to the
constitution, abolishing the May session,
determining succession and tenure I'm Of
nee, limiting the length OF sessions of the
Legisla ture. and the pay OF members, and
making other provisions rendered neces-
sary by me abolishng OF the May ses-
sion. should receive the hearty support
of all the electors
IL Is necessary To pass this amendment
in order that the state may have the full
advantage. of it's new State house. and
may avoid the expense OF the obsolete
and unnecessary May session at New
port.
The course pursued by our members in
Congress, the Hon, Melville Bull and the
Hon. Adm r.. Capron. has been in full ac-
cord with the policy and aims of the Re-
publican administration. They have dis
played marked ability and their energy
and fidelity have been directed toward
the interests OF their constituency. We
therefore heartily recommend 10 their re-
spective district conventions their renom-
nation

DEMOCRATIC iNSInCEalTY.

We denounce unqualihedly the monu-
mental insincerity Of the so-called DEM
ocrauc party, that remnant OF once
great national organization, gone astray
after strange gods and reinforced by all
the political heretics of every stripe
gathered from all the byways of political
unsrlndness. with its double-faced po-
ntical banners, turning the motto 'l6 10
r. and ''free silver" toward the west,
ana that paramount hallucination"
called imperialism" towards the east;
with its prating OF government OF the
people, by the people. and for the peo-
pie and it's wholesale Acknowledgement
Ot voters in the Southern states: with it's
talk against all the wicked trusts Except
tha ice-trusD and its pretended fears OF
~militarism' when IL argues that the lib
critics OF "A great nation of 75.0OO,o0O peo-
pie will be endangered by a standing
army OF 1000 men scattered all over
this great country and our island pos
sessions across the Pacific ocean. Nor do
We forget that small but offensive band
of Democratic supporters known as the
"anti-imperialists who have done all
they could 10 give aid and comfort" to
rebels I'm the Philippines. and whose mis-
guided efforts have much assisted in pro-
longing the war there.
All these we regard the enemies Of our
prosperity and financial soundness, lack
ing in patriotism both in home and for
eigu affairs and unworthy the following
OF good and patriotic citizens.
The Republican national ticket must be
elected unles we would take the chance
OF those great dsa sters almost sure 10
