BOY BURGLAR SHOT TO DEATH Meets Death in Home of
 Chief Taylor. WAS DETECTED IN THE ACT One-legged Negro Servant Guards
 Employers Property. Coleman Denson Hears Prowier at Work and Sends Three Bullets
 Into the Body of Young Ne-
 gro Named Richard Smith.

Detected in the act of burgla .izing the residence of Chief of Police Taylor. lat Bell Street. Richard Smith. a young negro boy, was shot and killed by Coleman Benson, a one-legged negro servant of the Chief, early Sunday morning.
 Smith was shot three times. in the neck, in the side, and in the thigh. One of the shots broke the neck. and the burglar tumbled over dead within a few minutes afterward.
 Denson immediately telephoned to the police headquarters. He said: "I found burglar in the Chiefs house and shot him. think that he is dead"
 Benson was not arrested, the killing being held as justihable. He stays within the house of Chief Taylor dur ing the absence of that official. as a trusted servant and watchman. Early yesterday morning he was aroused from his sleep in the kitchen, by the sound of Richard Smith entering through a screen door. which. the night being warm, was left unlocked. He watched the intruder go in to the din- ing room,and tumble in the drawer of sideboard for keys. Benson arose. hooked on his wooden leg, and followed into the room. He called to the bur- glar. The negro boy. taking alarm, lodged across the room, and Benson fired three times, each shot taking ef- feet.
 Besides Benson, the house was occu- pied by only Chief Taylor's daughter in-law. Smith apparently knew of the absence of the Chief and the family. He was familiar with the premises having worked for Chief Taylor as buggy boy for some time.
 Richard Smith was known to the po- lice as an old offender, having served terms for various misdemeanors

 Previous to the address by President Montague, the pastors of the several Baptist churches of this city made a few remarks bearing oA Howard Col lege. what was being accomplished at the school now, what they needed and what the Baptists of the State were going to make Howard College. the leading Baptist University of the South,
 Dr. Charles A. Stakely spoke a few words of greetings and was followed by Rev. s. A. Cowan, who spoke on Howard College and the Denomina- tionai Support" and he brought out many points as to the needs of the college and what the Baptists of tke State ought to make 1t.
 Rev. J. W. OHara in his remarks specified four things the alumnae of Howard College ought to do for their alma mater. First, to give 1t their sympathy and prayers; second, to con- tribute more money; third, to send their boys there to be taught and trained; and fourth. to beQueath to the school their loquacity and have the 176,oo0 Baptists in the State to talk up the college.

of men appointed to instruct and mould young men and young women for Amer ican citizenship and for world useful ness.
 From day to day. from men set to fashion character and to train for life he heard such opinions as these:
 From the President of Stanford University: 'Whiskey. cocaine and al- cohof bring temporary insanity. and SO does a revival of religion. This Is a form of drunkenness no more worthy of respect than the drunkenness that lies in the gutter From a Harvard professor: Religious revivalism Is a social bane; 1t is more dangerous to the life of society than drunkenness. As a sot, man falls below the brute; as a revivalist he sinks lower than the sot' A professor in Syracuse Univer- sity says: 'Feasting ana drinking are great means of eliminating antagon- ism among men. And in dancing the senses jingle, the blood moves inside your shoes. despite the fact that you are Methodists.' And that man Is clergyman. Harvard: Religious life on this earth began with intoxication cults. TO pe- come deyout man just got drunk ana our hosannas are only echoes Of the wine--ensendered shoutings of celeb rants who reeied through orgies long ago. Religion became sterile when the Puritan ceased to imbibe."
 Prof Giddings, of Harvard, declares that America has specialized in relig- ious lunacy. Prof. Moses, of the Uni versitv of California. says: "It Is not a part of China's business to give us her religion. and 1t Is not our busi- ness to give China our religion" Prof Small. of the University of Chicago, states that the church alone cannot save the world Prof. Willett, of the same school. says: The doctrine of the virgin birth (of Christi was only an esoteric doctrine. Our generation does not share this old belief-does not feel that it is necessary" And Mir. Willett, too. is a preacher. the same kind of preacher as Prof Foster of his school, about to exclude from the church. Prof. Ladd. of Yale. goes on record as say ing: "The welfare of the world de- pends upon the spirit of man. not up on the paternal care of non-resi- dent Deity"
 These statements are sufficient to show the attitude of the representative Northern college towards religion. It is an attitude that denies to Christ divinity. to God creation and father hood. to the church power through the spirit of God to save lost men. There is a longing for notoriety, an itching desire to utter clever sayings. a pur- pose to pose as thinker and leader, overriding personal accountability to God, reverence for His word and for getting Christ. would lead these men to destroy. if they could. the faith of

 From the denominational colleges of our country for 100 years have gone forth men whose voices in the Nation al Congress have rung out for the right, whose minds have framed laws that safeguard the integrity of the Ameri- can commonwealth; men who have giv- en larger dignity to the gubernatorial office in many a State; who as turists have lent to our land greater fame in the realm of law, who have won from far distant countries encomiums for American medicine and surgery; who have through the medium of the press spoken to hundreds of thousands; who have by marvels of science levied up- on the wealth of nature and made vast contributions to the comfort of millions; who have In the storm ofNbat- tie given the last and highest testi- mony that man can give to the com polling power of the old Romans thought, 'Dulce ct decorum est pro patria mori.'
