Writes About the Matter
From Florida

AS the time for the meeting OF the
Southern Baptist Convention draws near
there begin to float about Interesting ru.
mors OF q possible movement, WHICH, ~
It. develops, will be likely to cause so1''o
excitement In THE denominations ran|Rs'
N In brief. tho suggested movement 's one
looking to the exclusion from the conVen-
tion Of a certain branch Of the dehom'nu-
ton, generally held to be out Of sympathy
with the others. Several OF the most
prominent ministers and laymen IN tho
convention are In favor Of such s1ep'
but It is believed that Baptists at larse
Will DO opposed and will prevent any ac-
ton by the convention.
r. 2is3f SUGGESTS EXCLUSION.
The section OF the denomination against
which the movement is directed IS that
represented by the Baptist Flag OF LOUIS.
vile. Many OF the landmark Baptlsts are
among them. 1t seems to be systematic
effort on the part Of these Baptists to
take exception to whatever the remainder
Of the denomination does. They nave
made several attacks upon the boards, ana
are now doing the Same thing, indicating
that they will probably stir up something
at the coming convention.
Recently ono of the best known Bhp-
list pastors in Alabama has written to the
Religious Herald. Of this city, an article
along the line Of the movement above
referred to. He suggests that 1t would
be we'll to close the door OF the conven-
tion to these agltators and keep them
out unless they will agree to work IN mar
mony with tho denomination at large.
Considerable comment has been pro-
voked by this article and several papers
have come out approving the suggestions
1t made. 1t was held that 1t would be
best to keep them in and try to influence
them in the desired direction. And such
says leading Baptist pastor here, Is
what the convention will probably DO. II

FORESTS PICTURE
PRESENTED TONIGHT
Drs. Whltsitt and Smith to Be
the Speakers Both Fol
lowed SOutherner.

Tho walls of Leo Camp Hall tonight
receive another illustrous portrait, that
OF General N. B. Forrest, one Of the
greatest cavalry leaders over born IN any
country. Some even put him ahead
Of Stuart, Whether greater, or not no
man excelled him in his love for the
South. and never lived there a Drawer
man and a more vigorous and moro suc-
cessful fighter.
Tho portrait was to have been for
mally presented tho camp on Friday nlgh
two weeks ago but the weather was SO
Indictment, 1t was decided to postpone tho
Interesting ceremonies until tonight.
DR.. william II. Whitsitt, professor OF
moral philosophy, in Richmond College,
ono Of the most cultured and well as DIS
tingulshed men in the city and State, q
brave Confederate soldier, will present
the picture on the part OF tho donors,
while the camp In receiving It Will be
represented by Dr., w, r. i. Smith, pas
tor OF the Second Baptist Church,
That these two excellent gentlemen
shall take such prominent part in the
ceremonies Is most fitting. Both were
followers Of Forrest, though DR., Smith
was very young. Both are also good
speakers, and better thinkers nre not to
be found in the city. Both may at any
time be counted upon to say something
we'll worth hearing,
The camp and the public may be con-
graduated upon the good fortune of the
camp in securing DR.. Smith to receive
the picture, and the donors of 1t in get
ting DR. Whltsitt to present It, Tie
public. a least, will have the opportunity
Of hearing two addresses OF rare beau
~ and unusual strength.

JUDGED BY HER BOOK.

The girls in large department
store, says Frank Leslie's are, as rule
carefully watched not only in the store
but out of it. The buyer of each de-
partment knows pretty we'll the habits
of his salesladies; knows how much it
costs them to live and how they spend
their evenings. 1t is easy for MIN to
get the information not merely
through the store detective, but in
many other ways.
The buyer is, as rule, a tolerant
person, who cares only for two things
namely, that the girls "deliver the
goods. e., that they make big
"books s"-and that they appear re-
spectacle. If they stay out so late
at night that they do not reach the
store promptly in the morning they
may be discharged, transferred from
one department to another or merely
not rise in the way of salary, depend
ing on the degree of their misdemea-
nor. If the girls book is unsatisfac-
tory she is simply discharged or trans
terred, and no reason is given, but if
she is wise she knows the reason
why.
If, on the other hand, the girl is a
good seller the buyer will excuse
great deal in the way of irregularity
of habits. As long as girl sticks
closely to business she is allowed a
great deal of freedom, but when her
''book" begins to suffer it is time for
her to ''look out"
