THE MAN AND THE OCCASION.


The recent native riotous demonstra-
tions at Cairo against Europeans argue
pretty conclusively that the appoint
ment OF Lord Kitchener to be admin
istrator of British interests" in Egypt
was none too soon. Moreover, they ac-
centuate the wisdom of selecting for
the position man entirely opposite in
type and in concept of the best meth
eds of dealing with the Egyptian situa-
ton and its related problems to Sir
Evelyn Gorst, deceased, whom Lord
Kitchener succeeded.
The demonstration throngs. quickly
suppressed. We're symptomatio OF
widespread unrest, partially political
and partially religious, against witch
LORD Cromer warned the home govern
ment before he retired from the admin
istration, but which Sir Evelyn Gcrst
chose to parley with and make conces-
sions TO, somewhat after the manner OF
Lord Morley in the latter's conciliatory
and iil-advised advances TO the Indian
malcontents The result appears TO
have been that the Egyptian unrest has
been feeding upon itself and has awaited
Itself of grave crisis to throw out n
significant feeler The crisis has been
brought on By the Turko- Italian con-

We take little stock in the predictions
Of formidable holy war in the inter
est OF Turkey. The Arabs. from whom,
at the last, the Egyptians and Soudan-
csc and the various tribes OF the Bar
barry States hinterland are in danger OF
being infected with the spirit of open
and serious revolt, have never taken
oyerzealous!y TO Turkish hegemony in
the Mohammedan world. They have
never forgotten chat the Caliphate OF
Islam was won for the House OF Osman
through force. They have ranking
recollection that seIin. the grim who.
with fire and sword, virtually annlhi-
lated the Mameluke power, compelled

1t is sad coruilary of the truth that
the cost OF living is higher that the
dog. like his master. must be less well
fed than heretofore. This Is borne
out in an incident related In the West
Point Weekly News about a fine ca
nine who is the property OF the pur-
ser Of the steamer Louise. The hun
cry animal one night recently ate a
congressional directory. and on the
following evening dined on nine dozen
eggs and pack of playing cards. The
congressional directory must have fur
nished some very toothsome tidblts,
for example the voluminous autobi-
ographies Of the Hon. Adam Little
page and the Hon. Napoleon Bonaparte
Thlstlewood. It must have been hard
to swallow the Republican boasts of
achievement.

Delegates from the two Baptist
churches of the city will go in force
to the sessions of the Southern Bap-

week, everything being in readiness
now for the departure of the dele
gates from this city.
At the head of the delegation from
the First Baptist church will be Dr..
Lansing Burrows, pastor of that
church, and Messrs.. c. c. Hawkins
and Lee Allen The large delegation
from the Ladies' Missionary Society
and other ladies organizations of the
church will include Mesdames C. c.

Dr. Lansing Burrows, who is secre-
tary of the Convention, win leave Sun
day night for Jacksonville in order TO
be in readiness for the sessions of the
convention. DR.. Burrows will take up
the duties as secretary of the Con-
vention for the thirty-first time, having
already served in that capacity for
thirty years. There is probably no
other man numbered among the mem
bers of the Southern Baptist Conven-
ton who is so intimately familiar with
the work of the organization as is Dr.
Burrows, his knowledge of that body
having been cleaned from this wide
personal acquaintance with its work
ings and also from careful research
into the management of similar relig-
ious bodies of other denominations.
For this reason and on account of his
ripe scholarship and long loyalty to his
denomination, the name of DR.. Bur-
rows has been mentioned frequently

large Delegations LEAVE SOON
FOR THE BAPTIST CONVENTION

of late in connection with the presi-
dency of the Convention, a position
which he would be able to fill in most
acceptable manner. The names OF
other we'll known Baptists have also
been named in connection with this
high position.
In recent interview with a Times
Recorder representative, DR., Burrows
spoke Interestingly of the workings of
the Convention, which oganizaton he
characterized as one altogether unique
and different from organizations in
other churches which performed the
same or similar duties. This element
of originality, he said, exists in the
fact that it is the purpose of the South
ern Baptist Convention to allow abso-
Lutte freedom to each individual church
within it's membership in regard to
the conduct of its own affairs, demand
ing no assessment or other subser-
viences from these churches.
The work of the organization in its
official relationship is embraced main
ly in the operations of three boards,
known as the Home Mission Board. the
Foreign Mission Board and the Sun
day School Board, with headquarters
in ATLANTA, Richmond and Nashville
respectively. Soon after the Conven-
ton is organized for business at it's
annual session, the reports of these
three boards are submitted. From
these reports originates the business of
the convention almost entirely, though
other matters may be placed before
the convention in the form of resolu-
tiOns that come up before the conven-
ton for action. The activity of the
Home Mission Board during the last
year has been unusual, as it has col
lected and disbursed more than $780,
600, which is considerably more than
is ordinarily handled by this body All
of this money is spent in relieving
suffering within this state and the
South in destitute sections.
The present presiding officer of the
Convention IS Joshua lowering, of Bal
timore, a millionaire coffee dealer.

(By William Jennings Bryan)

atheists and materialists declare
that the Bible is merely the work Of
man, and that it was written under
the Limitations that apply to human
wisdom. Taking this position, they
necessarily must contend that unless
man has degenerated in his ability and
declined in wisdom, he now can pro-
duce a book an equal of the Bible. Let
them produce it.
atheists and materialists have as
sailed the Bible at every point; they
have been as bold as the prophets of
Baal in defying the living God and in
heaping contempt upon the written
word. Why not challenge them to
put their doctrines to the test? When
Elijah was confronted by group of
scorners who Knocked the Lord, he
invited them to match the power of
their god against the power of his,
and he was willing to concede the SUI
periority to the one who would an
swer with fire.

Local trap shooters will be pleased
TO know that the grounds of the Amer
icus Gun Club are now ready for use
and that the first trap shooting on the

The announcement was made yes

the trap shooting grounds and the
placing of the trap. that everything
was in readiness for the first shoot.
The trap has been carefully and thor

marksman. There is also on hand q
large supply of clay pigeons, so that
the first shoot may be fully enjoyed by
all who will attend.

engagements thus far that as large an
attendance of local sportsmen as pos
sible be present this afternoon, as the
organization of the new Americus Gun
Club will be effected officers for the

Birmingham, Ala, May 9.-Commis-
sion government made good with a
rush in Birmingham. Within one week
the three commissioners appointed by
Governor ONeal cut from the city's
payroll $72,474.5O per year, and abol-
ished sixty-four offices, thus in one
week saving their salaries of $500
apiece, four times over.
During this first week the broker
age, banking and paving combines,
which had through many years OBJ
tanned leech-like hold on the alder
manic government, were thrown off.
The boss" president of one of the
city's largest banks, who had openly
boosted that he would control the
commission, was tumbled over back
ward when the commissioners moved
the city's money from his bank and
distributed it evenly among the other
banks Of the city, refused to renew a
note for a loan of 100000, telling him
simply that the note would be paid
shortly, and informing Boss Henry
B. Gray that whenever they wanted
him they would let him know.

morning the officers proceeded openly
