Ridgecrest, July 7.-(AP)-Dr. G. S.
Dobbins, a member of the faculty OF
the Baptist Seminary at Louisville,
KY, told the annual southwide Bap-
fist editorial conference here today
that "Baptists are peculiar, but in
stead of being proud of the fact they
should spend their time in trying to
be worthy of it,
Reviewing the history of the Sun
day school movement in North Amer
lea, DR.. Dobtin said Southern Bap-
lists were not directly affiliated with
the International Council of Sunday
Schools because they felt the council
had lost It's essential democratic
character"
Southern Baptists have felt they
can do a large service by staying out
of the council" he said, "but let US
not exalt this quality of popularity.
And we should not be confinement
over the apparent superiority OF the
Baptist Sunday school history. Rath-
err we should remember that the tide
that takes out one ship will tkae out
all ships, and just as the Sunday
school movement is slipping in some
sections, so it may do among South
ern Baptists unless we continue our
efforts with undated ZEAL"

Raleigh, July 7 (AP)-Kenneth Tay-
or Negro, who was to have died In
Central Prison gas chamber tomor-
row for. murder, today received q
communication of his sentence to life
Imprisonment.
Governor Hoey, in announcing his
decision, said he did not think the
prisoner went to the house of the de-
ceased for the purpose of committing
murder.
Taylor was convicted in Franklin
county for the murder of Margaret
Aston in July 1887.
IT incline to the opinion" the gov
ernor commented, that after enter
ing the house a quarrel ensued, and
that the prisoner, upon the spur Of
the moment, committed q homicide
for which there is no excuse.
IT do not think that the prisoner
killed in self-defense, but I do think
he killed upon such impulse rather
than in cold blood.
"Under the circumstances, and in
view of the prisoners previous good
character, I feel that this case is tit
for the exercising of mercy, and
therefore commute the sentence to
life Imprisonment"
Among those recommending cle-
mency were Sheriff John Moore, OF
Franklin, two deputy sheriffs and
eight members of the trial jury, Gov
ernor Hoey said.
