Southern Baptist Convention.

The forty-ninth Southern Baptist
Convention, which has been in ses-
sion at Nashville, Tenn, since Fri
day last, completed its work on Mon
day and adjourned to meet next year
in Kansas City. 1t was announced
that almost $3.50, 900 had been raised
during the year for foreign missions
and that now workers are needed
more than money. Officers of the
various church boards were elected
as recommended. The convention
adopted resolution advocating the
passage by Congress of the Hepburn
Dolliver anti-jug bill and also a
resolution calling on the United
States Government to take all proper
steps to stop alleged barbarities in
the Congo Free State. At the night
session resolution was adopted
against Baptist ministers performing
the rites of matrimony where one or
both of the contracting parties have
been divorced on other than Scrip
tural grounds.

Thursday between the Rev. J. B.

both of Dallas, Texas. Cranfill fired
two shots from pistol at Hayden
while the latter was struggling for
possession of the weapon. Neither
shot took effect. The encounter oc-
CURED in the lavatory of the sleeper,
on which both men were en- route to
the Southern Baptist Convention at
Nashville, Tenn. Rev. Cranfill was
arrested on his arrival at Texarkana
and was arraigned before Justice
Henry on charge of assault to mur-
der. He waived examination and
was released on $1,000 bail. Hay
den was not arrested, but appeared
to prosecute. Cranfill declined to
make statement, but Hayden talked
freely. Both men continued the
journey to Nashville on different
trains last evening. The Revs. Hay
den and Cranfill are the best known
Baptist preachers in Texas, if not in
the South. Both also are editors,

edits the Baptist Herald. He and
Cranfill have been bitter enemies for
years, and have printed the most
