Fifth Street Baptist Church Still
Wrangling Over Election
of Pastor.

notwithstanding statements to the
contrary, 1t is said that there may be
trouble at the Fifth street African
Baptist Churcn next Monday night,
when the question of electing a pastor
is taken up. Since the defeat OF the
Rev. Edwards in July last the question
OF electing his successor has proved
to be a great problem, but not until
recently has the situation become SO
alarming.
At the last regular meeting OF the
church a ma jority of the female mem
bers expressed themselves as favora BILE
to the former pastor, the Rev. DR.. Gra-
ham. This at onceb rought forth a
storm of disapproval on the part of
a majority of the males. Complying to
the petition circulated by those favor
able to the Rev. Graham. the deacons
have announced a meeting next Mon
day night, at which time this question
will be considered. Meanwhile it is
said that both sides are whetting up
their swords and will be on hand pre-
pared to push the battle to the gates.

What is regarded as the most i'm

so far as Virginia is concerned, will
begin at Raleigh. n. c., before Inter

of North Carolina is endeavoring to

Durham, located on branch lines of the
Norfolk and Western Railway. That
company has been named as defendant
Although they are not actual parties
to the suit. certain Virginia cities,
Richmond included. asked leave TO file
a brief with the National Commission
setting forth the reasons why the Nir-
ginia tariff should not be indirectly
disturbed. The point has been made
clear all along, however, that the Nir-
ginia cities are not-attempting to per-
pctuate discrimination against Win
ston- Salem and Durham. They con-
tend. for instance, that inasmuch as
Richmond and Norfolk have water
competition they are entitled TO lower
tariff than inland towns.
Would Cut Our Trade.
In the event that the Interstate Com
merce Commission should order a re-
duction In the rate, other North Caro-
lima towns would demand the same
concessions from the roads on which
they feed, the inevitable result being
that the North Carolina jobber would
have an advantage calculated to de-
prive Richmond of its natural posi-
bility of trading in that State.

Water transportation as the city's

Captain Curtis is known as one OF the
best informed men on all subjects re-
latng to the James River and It's
trade. His speech was an argument
for the purchase OF sufficient land, and
the erection by the city of docks along
the river front for the building up Of
the shipping trade both OF large and
small vessels, Captain Curtis saying
that Richmond was the only city Of it's
size ana natural advantages which did

lose one of her most valuable assets,
The advantage of water rates as n

GREAT BAT TIE
OVER JUDCESH|P
Wescott and Mears Seem to be
Leading for Blackstone's
Successor.

With the removal of Judge j. w. g.
Blackstone. of Accomac, by the Legls-
lature yesterday evening, the fight
which has been going on quietly
among several candidates to succeed
him broke loose last night in dead
earnest. and the Hobbies were kept
alive until a late hour by this the last
feature OF the expiring session.
Mr.. Louis C. Phillips. of Newport
News. retired from the race during the
day. leaving four candidates, one from
each county in the circuit on the field.
The battle was waged fiercely, though
the moment the final vote was taken
on the removal resolutions in the SEN
ate, and the contest in the caucus TO-
dcy promises TO he close and warm.
The four aspirants now in the field
are Hon. Nathaniel b. Wescott, of Ac-
comac; Mr.. Ohio L. Mears OF
Northampton; Hon. E. =. Montag que, OF
Hampton, and Mr.. Clarence W. Robin
son. of Newport News. 1t looks as If
the leading candidates are Messrs.
Wescott and Mears, and that the final
vote will be taken between them after
the others are out. OF course, this is
largely speculation. but it looked that
way last night, and a good deal of
Senator Gunter will present the
name of Mr. Wescott. and there Will
be strong seconding speeches for the
Accomac candidate, whose career rs
lawyer and citizen and member of the
Constitutional Convention is a most
enviable one.
All Are Happy.
The friends of Mr.. Wescott were
iubilant over his prospects last night
and loyal supporters from the East
ern Shore had arrived to assist him
in his battle. There was likewise a
great deal of activity and confidence
ir the Mears camp, and the friends
of the Northampton man We're press
ing his claims with much vgor. Mr.
Mears is Commonwealth attorney of
his county: is looked upon as an able
lawyer, and is strongly backed by law
yers and laymen in the circuit.
Messrs. Montague and Robinson are
both on the ground and each ap-
peared hopeful concerning the result
of to-day's battle. The former has
been county judge and Common
wealths attorney of his county and
member of the Legislature, and he is
popular in many sections of the State.
The latter is now Commemorative
attorney of Newport News and Is a
lawyer of ability and popularity.
An effort Will be made to get the
Joint caucus together at 10 O'clock
this morning, though no formal call
has been issued. 1t Will be held some
time before l o'clock, however. and
the nominee chosen will at once be
