ANOTHER MEETING FOR ME-
RlDlAN.
The Executive Board of the National
Baptist Convention Has Been
Called to Meet on June


Baptist Convention Has Been
Called to Meet on June
8, 1911.
Selma. A!a-According to an offici-
cial statement sent out to-day by Prof.
r. B. Hudson, Secretary of the Ma
tional Baptist Convention, who re-
sides in this city, the President has
issued an official call for meeting of
the program committee, commonly
known as the Executive Board of the
National Baptist Convention, to be
held June 8, 1911, i'm Meridian, Miss.
This call, says Prof. Hudson, is usual
ly sent out in the early part of the
year at which time program is ar
ranged for the ensuing session of
their Convention, which usually meets
in September.
The important part of the call this
year appears to be that it will meet
at tho same place and during the
same time of the Sunday School
Congress of their Convention. 1t
is presumed that this call to meet
in Meridian was issued by President
Morris so that the members of the
Board could take advantage of the
very low round trip rate authorized
on account of the Sunday School
Congress- By this one call the at
tendance of the Congress will be
largely augmented, as the mem
bership of this program committee
consists of the nine officials of the
National Baptist Convention and the
chairmen and secretaries of the seven
boards operated under the Conven-
ton, together with the vice-presi-
dents; they have Vice President for
each state and territorial convention
in the United States.
Prof. Hudson figures that there are
about sixty-three or four different
state and territorial conventions.
Some states have as many as four diff
ferent conventions According to
this, the official family Of the Nation
al Baptist Convention, which has
been called to meet in Meridian, will
bring about eighty-six general officers
altogether, prominent among whom
from this state will be the Secretary
Prof. R. B. Hudson and the Treas
urer, Rev. A. Stokes, D. D., of Mont
gomery, Ala. The next annual ses
sion is to be held in Pittsburg, Pa.
from September 18th to 18th.

GIRL BABBY KIDNAPPED.

Saturday a three-weeks' old girl
baby was stolen from its mother,
Evelina Williams, Of IL Lafay-
cite street. 1t appears that very
tall woman of light complexion garn-
ed in black and light rain coat
with cape and heavily yelled called
at the Williams home. and while the
inmates were busily engaged with
their household duties left taking the
baby with her The child was soon
missed and a general search institut-
ed, but without avail. At this writ
ing no trace has been found of the
kidnapper and her prey
The mother of the little one is al
most distracted The grandfather,
Rev. S. M. Williams, is using every
effort at his command to gain some
clue as to their whereabouts. The
sheriff and police officers have been
notified, but as yet have reached no
results. The motive of the ktdnap-
per cannot be fathomed. It is Idle
to say that the child will be held for
ransom, when it Is known that its
people are not able to pay
By some it is thought that the
yelled woman was an agent Of wan
dering gypsy tribes, while others
hold that she had yearning for
babe of her own to cheer her desoIate
household and chose this method Of
securing one.
A gentleman giving his name as
]. P. Johnson claims to have seen The
woman and child shortly after they
left the Williams home. He sale
there was nothing unusual abou
them, except that the woman was ca
ressing the infant very tenderly ant
in way which showed that she was
very much attached to it. The las
he saw of them, he said, they crossed
the Broad street bridge. Rev S. M
Williams, the grandfather Of thu
child, is very much agitated and de
serves the sympathy Of all.

According to reports, Mothers Day
at the Jail must have been bright
and beautiful occasion. Each pris-
oner, according to the Advertiser,
was decorated with a white carna-
ton and appropriate music was sung
by the prison glee club, one of the
selections being, "Tell Mother I'll Be
There in Answer to Her Prayer"
Whether Warden Henry said few
words on the efficacy of prayer in
this particular connection is not
stated in the report Of the exercises.
1t has been suggested that at the
next celebration of this nature
thyme be worn in place of carnations
and that the musical program include

seventh chapel in these islands, an
average of nearly four a year.
J. WALTER DOYLE-I brought a
piece of corned beef ashore from the

me at the gangway and examined for
opium.

you'll lift your hat to me on SUNDAY

of the Shippers Wharf Committee /:
nothing that the able business men
who compose it would not ask under
like circumstances.
M. T. SIMONTON-Mr. Schnacl,

Kaimuki people. They are "hogging
