LEXINGTON MINISTER
PREACHING IN JACKSON


The Jackson Sun of last Sunday
told Of a meeting in that city, in the
Royal Street Baptist church, in
which there had been old time
shouting at service on Friday
night when Rev. Fleetwood Ball
preached from the subject Five
Thoughtless Girls" builded from the
text Matt. 25-10, And the Door
was Shut" The Sun reporter made
the following report Of the sermon
preached by the Lexington minis
ter.
His observations were on the fa-
miliar parable Of 1.-The Ten Virgins
which he declared to teach essenti-
ally that Christ, like the bridegroom
Of the narrative, is coming again,
and, as in the case Of the ten vir-
gins, His coming will find two class
es Of humanity, the prepared and
the unprepared. The speaker ask
ed the question, Why we're the five
wise virgins prepared? Because they
had |. Repented Of their sins. He
urged vehemently the necessity Of
repentance, declaring that the sim
ner must repent or perish q They
had believed on the Lord Jesus

see with independent Democrats,
and during his entire term he had
boasted that he was not Republi-
can governor, but a best element
governor, and so absolutely separat-
ed from the Republican party that
he protested to the chairman Of the
platform committee in one Of the
conventions that nominated him
against the Endorsement of the ma
tional administration.
At this point Mr.. Hooper, who
had been listening with flushed face
sprang up and declared that the re-
mark was untrue, and demanded to
know the speakers authority for it.
Mr.. Littleton pointed to H. Clay
Evans, and Mr.. Evans strongly reit-
Grated the statement. Mr.. Hooper
made no response to the accusation
Of Mr.. Evans, after the latter in
formed him that he had a draft Of
the platform drawn by Mr.. Hooper
in his possession. This will, it is
believed, sustain the action Of the
majority Of the Tennessee delega-
tion and definitely seat Mr.. Little
ton.
Mr. Hooper endeavored to secure
a continuance Of the case, but his
plans were thwarted by Mr.. Little
ton and Representative Austin.

0LITTLETON RETAINS SEAT
ON NATIONAL COMMITTEE

Chicago, June 10.-Pending the
decision of the executive committee
Of the Republican National Commit
tee, Mayor Jesse M. Littleton Of
Chattanooga, Tenn, will retain his
seat in the national committee, to
which position he was elected sever
al days ago, defeating John j. Gore
of Gainesboro.
The case Of Mr.. Littleton was con-
sidered by the national committee
here this afternoon and referred to
the executive for final disposition.
Mr.. Littleton's certificate is in the
hands Of the committee and he was
included in a picture made Of the
committee after the hearing.
Mr.. Littleton was vigorously sup
ported In the hearing by II. Clay
Evans Of Chattanooga. Former
Gov. B. W. Hooper appeared as the
leading counsel in contesting the ac-
ton Of W. W. Taylor Of Nashville
and S. B. Anderson Of Memphis for
casting their votes in the delegation
conference for Mr.. Littlfton instead
Of Mr.. Gore, for whom they were in
structed.
The hearing developed into a
heated factional fight between the
Gore supporters and the adherents
Of Mr.. Littleton. The latter warmly
scored Mr. Hooper as creature Of
fusion and challenged his loyalty
to the Republicans party in Tennes-
see.
He said while Mr. Hooper was
governor Of the state he had filled
vacancies on the bench in Tennes-
