Or. Cannon Fires a Shot at Or.
E SHOULDN'T BE BISHOP

The Rev. James Cannon, Jr., editor
of the Southern Methodist Recorder Of
Richmond and Blackstone, and the Rev.
2. p. Hoss, D. D., editor Of the Nash
vile Advocate, the organ OF the NJ. E.
Church, South, and now a candidate for
the bishopric, are having quite lively
time Of it just now. A spirited debate
between them is exciting considerable
interest in Methodist circles here.
The trouble arose over the failure of DR..
Hoss to print an article sent to him by.
the Rev. DR.. Cannon The latter was
one Of the Signers Of the memorial on
the subject Of organizing a deaconess
adopted by the Virginia Conference.
Moreover, DR.. Cannon says he was
elected as delegates to the General Con-
ference and he thought that by virtue of
this fact and the additional fact that
the Virginia Conference is one Of the
largest in the denomination. an express
sion of views in the organ of the church
would be in place. In the current issue
of his paper, DR.. Cannon says that he
sent short article to DR.. Hoss for pub
LEGATION, but that it did not appear. When
he wrote asking for the return Of his
writing he received letter from Mrs
Hoss. saying that it had been misplaced
and therefore could not be returned
In expressing his opinion on this state
of affairs, DR.. Cannon says in the Re-
corder of this week that there is mo
admittance'' to tho editor of the Re-
corder into the columns of the so-called
Church organ. but in reality the .'Hoss"
organ. He further says that DR.. Hoss
prejudces disaualify him from holding
any general office of the church.
The Rev. W. T. Derieux. D. D., pastor
Of the venable-Street Baptist Church, of
this city, WILL in all probability, be call
ed to the First Baptist Church, of Fort
Smith, Arkansas.
A letter received here by DR.. A. o.
Dickinson. and written by Mr.. X A.
Clarkson. chairman of the Pulpit Commit
tee of the church. asked if it would be
possible to induce DR.. Derieux to leave his
present field Of work. Mr.. Clark
son is a former Richmonder, and
as a boy was member Of the
Sunday-school of the Second Bap-
tist Church, of this city. He is now
connected with the First Church
of Fort Smith. one of the head
ing churches in the State. the pastor
of which, the Rev. Dr. n. r. Pittman,
has recently resigned to become editor
of the Baptist Advance, of Little Rock.
On one other. occasion the congrega-
ton has tried in vain to secure the SER
vices of DR.. Derieux.
Just what Dr. Derieux would do In the
event of a call cannot now be said.
One of the Sunday-school classes Of the
Ora e-Street Baptist Church, of this city,
will give an entertainer on trlday
evening, June Goth, at the home OF Mrs
J. F. Jacobs, No. 719 West Main Street,
70, the purpose of raising $50, which VIII

al e blind are sold for S25. and the class

In Methodist circles In this city just
now it is feared that the state OF Or. "A .
Coke Smiths health will become great
obstacle to his election to the biShoprlc
by the General Conference, no" III seS-
sion in Dallas.
Dr.. Smith is pastor of the Epworth
Methodist Church in Norfolk ana IS one
of the foremost ministers OF the oeuohll-
nation. His health is the only thlns
against him and even as 1t IS ne stallos
a fair chance of election. At all events
he is being doomed by the Virginia dele
cation.
