SEVEN BAPTIST GOVERNORS.
That Denomination Has Been Sue
cessrui in Southern Politics.

Seven governors of southern States
have been invited to attend the an
nual convention of the southern Bap-
fists, which will be held in this city,
beginning May s. In the list of
celebrities that will attend will be
many Of the eX-gorernorS of southern
States, President Eagle of Arkansas
being one and Ex-Governor Northern
of this State, who is vice president OF
the convention, being another.
The governors Of the south who are
Baptists rule over the following States
at this time: Virginia, North Caro-
lima, Georgia, Florida, Arkansas and
Louisiana. The goyernorof Alana ma
is not churchman's: but his family
are members of Baptist church. The
conventions OF the Baptist church are
always noted for bringing together
many Of the brightest minds Of the
south, as it always includes in its
makeup many Of the leaders OF
thought.
The meetings cf the convention will
be held in the 1ahernicle to be built
in the park extension soon, if the de-
sired permission can be secured for
its use. 1t is quite probable that the
permission will be granted by the city
council and monster tabernacle erect
ed which will be able to accommodate
the great crowds that will come.
1t is estimated that at least $500
visitors trc:n Il distance will ne pres
eut, and in addition hundreds more
from all OF the nearby tarfitory: can
be counted On to attend. The meet
ing will be a great one and there is no
church in the city that could begin
to hold the crowds. as hundreds and
hundreds OF all denominations will be
on hand, for the occasion will be one
Of the big events in church life in the
south during the Year.
al around Savannah is large Bap-
tist population and these will swell
the crowds to & very large extent. and
the fact that there is a population Of
nearly 100000 communicates in the
State. means that Savannah will have
to prepare for d crowd.-SaVannah
