WHITE Baptist Ministers Ap prove of Arraign ment. “SUCH IS ABHORRENT TO OUR CIVILIZATION” Pastor Makes a Plea for Christianity in Dealing With Negro Prob lem. “The very Idea of a newspaper's of fering a reward for lynching:, or com mending it, is an outrage upon decency, and abhorrent to our civilization," said Rev. John E. White, pastor of the Second Baptist church, at the regular weekly meeting of the Baptist ministers Monday morning. The question of topics for the coming ilx months was under discussion, and Dr. White started off his speech with the remark: "The situation in regard to the ne gro problem is growing more and more acute every day,"-he said. "Christian ity is on trial in the South today as it has never been before In any age or in any part of the world. We are con fronted with two Ideas which we as Christian ministers must keep sepa rate. These are the Christianity of Christ, the lowly Nazarene, and human nature us it is and as Its promptings for revenge would lead us. “I have been hurt to find ministers who are as bitter against the negro as the yellowest politician would have them. I consider it the very' lowest form of Christianity to say that the re ligion of Jesus Christ has no message for this situation. Are we not willing to give Christianity a chance to solve this problem? Politics Figures in it, He Says. "The recent political campaign has greatly excited our people id tills mat ter. and I have been told by a promi nent politician that the great ground swell which swept over the state was due In a huge measure to a desire to do 1 .something against the negro." It was at this point that Dr. White made the remark he did about newspa pers which have commended lynching and urged the formation of societies outside the pale of the law. Dr. White’s remarks met with the warm approval of the ministers present. On motion of Dr. A. T. Spalding It was decided to have for discussion for meetings In the near future the sub- INSURANCE AGENTS PLACED II ARREST Special to The Georgian.

BASEBALL™ 51 Atlanta—000 000 000 0 —0 Sh’port—000 000 000 0-0 COMMITTEE BEGINS ITS INVESTIGATION Session Will Be Held at Home Tuesday Morning Beginning at 9:30. Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 10.—The platform of the Democrats of Ala bama was presented to the convention Just before adjournment for the after noon .so*!<lon and It strongly Indorses ” illlain Jennings Bryan for president. It says: "We Indorse all essential principles and policies advocated by Democracy's great leader, W. J. Bryan, especially his arraignments of trusts, private monopolies and abuses of pub lic service corporation. We proclaim nlm the greatest Democrat of our time and believe In his overwhelming elec tion as president of the United Stutes. Indorse him as the standard-bearer or our party In 1908." The platform will be adopted this afternoon. It also favors the abolition and extermination of bucket shops, fa vors local option immigration, but is against Importations of coolie or other vneup labor, nnd favors the child labor Jau. it disapproves of the action of tne state committee In requesting can didates for governor to pledge them- *ei\es i n advance to make appoint ments to flu vacancies anticipated in me I nited States senate. It favors the regulation of railroad rates, election of united states senators by thfc people. This convention is composed of 614 aeRgm f . s Resides the delegates, there are at least 500 visitors, and when the convention was called to order In the uuditorium, the hall was packed. Comer’s friends control the conven tion. Tills is the news which is float ing around among the 614 delegates to the state convention this morning. It was discussed on ail sides before the convention was called to order by Temporary Chairman R. B. Bai nes, of Opelika. The conference of Comer's friends In Birmingham Saturday was also the talk among delegates. At this time it lo.)ks as If the opponents of Comer will make an effort to some what offset some of tlie predictions made by the friends of Comer. The idea of the friends of Comer to Increase the number of the committee men on the state executive committee has met with favor among uil of Com er's supporters. From the outlook now there will be 45 members of the com mittee instead of 36. Four are to be selected from each congressional dis trict and nine from the state at large. The only change asked by Comer’s friends is that nine from the state at large he selected and let the old rule of four from each congressional district siand, but they are to be selected by the convention at large. The plan of Comer to capture the state executive committee has caused considerable gossip and those who op posed him are much wrought up.
