things about the barn, though his cows
and stock were removed. There was every
every evidence of incendiarism and the
people there have been diligently on the
lockout for the incendiary.
A heavy thunderstorm prevailed here
yesterday evening and last night, during
which lightning struck the residence OF
A. w. Varnedoe and set it on fire. The
fire was promptly put out and no serious
damage was done.
About the same time fearful wind and
hail storm prevailed in the northern part
of the county. Reports from there say
that it will take the farmers several days
to put back the fences that were blown
down, while the damage to crops from the
hail cannot be estimated yet. This is the
second storm of the kind in that section
during the past few days and the farmers
are considerably discouraged over the crop
outlook.
In other sections, where hail has not
fallen, the seasons have been admirable
and the outlook for crops is promising,
though many believed that the cold spell
did them much damage.
Rep Caswell and Osgood Griffin of this
city, who have been in the Philippines
for the past two years, reached the city
this morning from San Francisco where
they were mustered out of service on the
10th. They were with Company F, TWEEN
ty-ninth Regiment, and were among the
boys captured by the insurgents. They
tell many wonderful experiences, but say
that fine opportunities are offered to
young men on the islands. Several of the
Lowndes county boys secured positions
there and remained on the island.

AGAINST WOMEN ELDERS.
Cumberland PresbyterIans Trying
to Knockout Miss WoOIley.

cumberland Presbyterians Trying
to Knockout Miss WoOlIey.
West Point, Miss, May 1S.-The Cum
berland Presbyterian General Assembly
devoted much of to-day to a discussion of
a motion made by DR.. I. D. Steele of
Birmingham, Ala, proposing that the
young woman who was enrolled as a rul-
ing elder commissioner from Litchfeld.
(Ky) Presbytery, be unseated on the
ground that both the constitution and
the action of previous assemblies forbade
a woman to serve as a ruling elder. The
presbytery from which Miss Woosley
comes, several years ago ordained her as
a preacher. This was declared unconsti-
tutional and her name erased from the
roll. Members have kept up the agitation
ever since, and the presence of Miss
Woosley is plainly aimed by the pres
bytery to test another phase of the ques-
tion.
A constitutional amendment covering
the case will be sent to the presbyteries
and many believe that in the end the
church will declare against the ordina-
tion of women to both the ministry and
eldership. A motion to defer prevailed
on the matter.
