STATE TREASURY EMPTY.


jackson, Miss, September 10.-The
state Of Mississippi has in its treasury
81. sc, and there is no relief in sight.
Much doubt is expressed in financial
circles whether a firm Of New York
and Chicago brokers, who recently
purchased bond issue of half . mil
lion dollars. will pay for it, and the
banks of the state seemingly are un-
willing to advance money for imme-
diste use. No payments of taxes are
due for thirty days, and proposed
special session of the Legislature could
not bring relief within that period.

Rev. G. G. LOrimer, Once Pa
ducah Pastor Dies in France.
Was Here Before the Present Baptist
Church Was Built-Afterwards
Became q Great Man.
THE HISTORY OF HIS LIFE

News has reached Paducah Of the
death at AiNles Baines, France, of Rev.
death at AK les Baines. France, of Rev.
George c. Lorimer, of Philadelphia, once
pastor of the First Baptist church in
Paducah when the house of worship of
that congregation was located on Broad
way between Third and Fourth near
where Mrs. Girardey's now j. located.
Rev. Lorimer was a minister of great
ability. lie was, like Rev Kerr b. Tup-
per, also at one time pastor of the First
Baptist church here, and now one of the
best known ministers in the United
States. a man of great eloquence. and Of
ten his congregations even when he was
an obscure man in Paducah, would be
transported by his thrilling words until
they would rfse in their seats. There
are only few who remember him, how
ever, as he was pastor here fully
years ago.
A short time before coming To Padu-
cab Rev. Lorimer was an actor, and il is
said was converted while playing in Lou
isville. and at once renounced the stage
for the ministry. His training for the
footlights is said to have had a great
deal TO do with the dramatic effective
ness of his preaching.
Yesterdays Louisville Times said of
him:
THE Rev. George Claude Lorimer was
born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1882, and
came TO the United States in 1856 He
was educated at Georgetown tky) Col
lege. and was ordained to the Baptist
ministry in 1859. His first charge was
the Baptist church at Harrodsburg; af-
terward he filled pulpit at Paducah
and later had charge of the Walnut
street Baptist church of Louisville AZ
forwards he went TO Albany, then to
Chicago and then to Boston. where he
had charge of fremont Temple OF late
years he was pastor of the Madison
avenue Baptist church in New York |
City.
DIR. Lorimer was distinguished as an
author. His best known works are.
'Isms, Old and New" "The Great Con-
lict," Jesus, the Worlds Saviour"
Studies in Social Life" Christianity
n the Ninteenth Century" Messages of
To-day to the Men of Tomorrow" The
Master Of Millions"
DIR. Lorimer's home was at STA Mad
son avenue, New York.
Or. 7. T. Eaton. pastor of the Wal
nut street church, when notified of the
leath of DIR. Lorimer. said; Il am sorry j
o hear it," Dr. Eaton gave some inter
sting information regarding the de-
'eased. Before the war Mr.. Lorimer |
Mas an actor and came TO Louisville in |
hat capacity with Mr. Strickland to |
,lay an engagement. Two ladies of the
Nalnue street Baptist church distrib-
ited tracts at the boarding. house where |
he two actors were stopping. The tracts
them, and both became Bap- |
list ministers. Singularly enough, DR. |
.orimer was afterward pastor of the
Walnut street Baptist church."
Rev. Lorimer was father of George |

Evening Post, Philadelphia, and author
