Baptists Will Meet at Oklahoma City
Next Year.

Jacksonville, Fla, May 19.-Okla-
homa City was chosen as the next
meeting place of the Southern Bap-
fist Convention this afternoon. A
resolution was adopted looking to the
suppression of lawlessness and MUIR
der and for the promotion Of civic
righteousness throughout the South.
The Womans Missionary Union
today created the office of college
secretary and elected Miss Sue B.
Tyler, of Baltimore, for the position.
The old officers were reelected.
The Southern Baptist Education
Association today discussed the atti-
tude of UNCONVENTIONAL college men
to the educational system of the
States, A. E. Brown and R. T. Vann.
of North Carolina; S. w. Jameson.
OF Georgia, and J. M. Carroll, of
Texas, being the principal speakers.
The trend of argument was that the

lie all education, were trying to put
an end to Christian education. A
committee was appointed to prepare
an article explaining the relations of
church and State education.

Big Alligator i'm River Near Kinston

mind of Mr.. Claude Walker. of
Richmond, when a large alligator at

which he and Mrs. Christian were

with mouth wide open made a bee

Negro Dangerously Wounds Charles
Henry McLamb at Clinton.

Clinton, N. c., May 2O.-Charles
Henry McLamb, a worthy white farm
er living near here, was as
saulted and almost fatally cut by
Smith Boykin, burly negro, today
in Clinton. Mr.. McLamb had taken
a seat in chair on the side of the
street where Boykin was delivering
fertilizer and was ordered by the
negro to get out of the chair. After
a few words the negro turned the
chair over and drew his knife and
cut McLamb twice, making two long
wounds penetrating to the Abnormal
cavity.
The wounded man was taken to
the Office of Drs. Holmes and Cooper.
where surgical attention was given.
1t is believed the wounds will not
prove fatal.
The negro was promptly arrested
and lodged in Jail to await the Sc
suits of the injuries inflicted by him
before the hearing is had in the case.
1t looked at one time as if summary
measures would be resorted to by
angry friends of the injured man, but
the advice of cooler heads prevailed
and the law will very likely be allow
ed to take it's course.
