THE BANNER, FRIDAV-MORNINC. MARCH 31, 1911. DR.JLYNCH Pastor Called to This City Had a Remarkable HoEil on the Affections of Durham. The following from the Dally Her •Id of Durham, N. C., Indicates some what of the affectionate regard in which the pastor cf the First Baptist church of that city who, has been called to the pastorate of the First church here, Is held by the people be Is soon to leave: Congregation Protests. The congregational rally at the First Baptist church this evening for the purpose of Imploring Rev. Dr. J W. Lynch to decline the call to the Athens, Ga., First Baptist church promises to be the greatest tribute ever paid a pastor here. Since the announcement yesterday morning that the Athens church had extended this call and the serious consideration of it by the pastor, the entire church has been deeply stir red. It moved the body as It has never been moved before. A com mon expression was that It Is a ca lamity and one which strikes more angles of the city's life than the cllurch of his ministration now. The meeting tonight is confined to no special church or persons. Wo men, men and children of all de nominations are expected and though the First Baptist church is itself most concerned, there will be short addresses by members of other con gregations. The meeting Is called for 7:30 and will last but a short time. The congregation Is banging upon two hopes, the first that it may be able to show the pastor no field of labor baa a greater call upon his tal ents than this one which ho has worked so well; and second that not haring committed himself, be Is free to decline the offer. All of the ad dresses made will be along the line of a greater necessity at borne and all of the perauaslvenes of men will be given play. The chances are known to be against Durham. The call Is too flat tering, too pleasing to his peculiar gifts to be treated with any levity. The congregation that would per suade him to remain must do It by showing him that this Is the best place f$r him to work. He Is moved by no other consideration. His accomplishments In his short ministry hare been the kind that would make any minister pleased. He baa added to the church more than any pastorate of ever so many years and there Is springing up sentiment that dally grows, that liner and a more commodious church must eventually be built to hold the congregations that weekly multiply. No mglister of his denomination has been able to levy upon other churches, though scorning the prac tices of a proselyter, as be has done. North Carolina claims two of the twelve great ministers of the coun try now living outside the state. They have gained reputation largely upon something picturesque. The power ful preaching of the simple gospel has been responsible for the wide suocess of the subject of this pro test tonight. And that's why there Is such a course taken. The church authorities are extend ing to every person interested in the city an Invitation to attend the meet ing this evening at 7:30 and to add the weight of his presence to the heartfelt prayer of the congregation. The Pastor Stormed. In the congregational meeting last night at the First Baptist church, called for the purpose of beseeching the pastor, Rev. Dr. J. W. Lynch, to decline the Athens call, the most slg- nlflcant act was the presentation of the resolutions, coupled with a rec ommendation that a committee of twenty-five bear the tiding to him. It was in many respects a pathetic gathering. Those delegated to talk found It extremely difficult to speak, tbo two cheering notes that came be ing uttered by Messrs. T. M. Gorman and P. W. Vaughan. The audience audience was well prepared for any breakdown and It came when Mr. L. 0. Cole read the heartfelt letter of General Carr who wrote from a sick bed. He declared that he could view the move as no less than a calamity and that sentiment was the dominant one of the evening. The meeting was called to order by Moderator R. T. Howerton, who made a brief address In which he set - forth the object of the meeting. Mr. R, H. Rlgsbee spoke first, outlining the splendid work of the congregation under the new spirit of the pastor. He referred to the marked fortune of the congregation in receiving the acceptance to Its unanimous call two years ago and declared that he could not think now that the pastor would gain the consent of hip mind to leave. Mr. Howerton added to Mr. Rigsbees words by saying that there is no Inbarmony between pastor and flock. Mr. D. H. Wilcox spoke of the crit ical questions that Dr. Lynch bad settled for him when he reached the stage of doubt and distrust Mr. a L TTree struck a new thought He declared that the pastor is now un* forgoing the same agony of spirit Preliminary Investigation Trial to be Granted Hen* ry Walker, Charged With Murder. This morning at 10 o'clock the pre- limnary trial hag been set for Hen ry Walker, colored, charged with the murder of his cousin, Charles Wa.k- er The negro, it will be remembered, is said to have shot his cousin be cause the latter refused to quit the company of the former’s young sister. Henry Walker was captured Satur day night by Sheriff Jackson soon after the negro he had shot died from the effects of the wounds. Be fore Judge Young this morning In the grand Jury room of the court house the commitment trial will take place. S. A. & N. FATE What Oliver Will Do With the Road That is Pro< posed Through Athens is Not Determined. that the congregation is. The con gregation niuat pray for him. "Only those who have been In his plaeo can know what It means to make the decision,” he said, and the speaker told of the loss to those under his Instruction. Mr. C. L. Haywood thought that leaving now would be blow from which there can be no early recovery. He tolJ how Wake Forest had overpowered the pastor when he was first called to Athens and persuaded him to return to the college village. "Dumfounded” was the way he expressed his feeling. Mr. L. G. Cole told of the first call to Dr. Lynch, how there was unanimous choice and how after searching the country the church had come back here and called Its ablest minister. He was barely able to read the letter of General Carr. Mr. C. P. Howerton suggested per sonal work apd Prof. C. H. Jenkins made an appeal In the name of the young men, whom he pledged to an active, militant aervlce. Mr. P. W. Vaughan laughed at the sadness and said: "I don't admit that be Is go ing. You talk as If he had gone al ready or will leave tomorrow. Wo don't intend that he shall go. He Is In as much trouble as you are and more than I am. I pledge the sup- port of the entire Baraca class to him." Mr. T. M. Gorman admitted that real Baptism waa on the feminine aide of the hose but he said: “It will be a calamity to loee this man. We mutt not lose him and I am like Mr. Vaughan, I don't believe that we are going to do It. The people love him and he mutt know It." One of the heartiest speeches was from another outsider. Mr. A. J. Faucette spoke most fesllngly. He told of his love for the pastor and said no man baa the confidence of another more than Dr. Lynch baa of lilt own and other congregations. The people love him as much as they ever did any man. The speech rang true. At the close ol the speech-making Mr. P, W. Vaughan Introduced the following resolutions which carry with them the obligation of the com. mlttee to visit the pastor In person On the committee were appointed R. T. Howerton, P. W. Vaughan. N. E. Green, E. O. Currln, W. T. Pollard, T. E Cheek, B. W. Fasaett, W. J. Luns ford, T. 8. Christian, R. L. Lindsey, R. H. Rlgsbee, L. G. Cole, B. L. Tyree, C. L. Haywood, W. W. Cheek. J. T. Womble, W. J. Brogden, C. H. Jen kins, W. H. Rogers, J. V. Elliott, W. H. Holloway, C. P. Norris, A. 8. Hob- good. The resolutions read: Whereas, the First Baptist church, of Durham, has learned that a call has been extended by the First Bap tist church at Athens, Qa„ to Dr. J. W. Lynch, who has served this church acceptably for the past two years. Be it resolved by the First B«o list church, of Durham, N. C., In church conference assembled. That during the pastorate of ,ynch Ibis church has been great ly blessed by our heavenly father. The membership has increased, the congregation has grown, the financial condition haa Improved and our house of worship enlarged and beautified. 2. That while much has been ac complished we fee! that Dr. Lynch'* work la only begun. Our city !■ growing rapidly, our field la constant ly Increasing, our people and pastor are in entire harmony and we be lieve that our Father will bless the seed which have been sown by our falth/ul pastor and bring forth a more abundant harvest. 3. That we take this occasslon to express our appreciation of Dr. Lynch and his pastorate to assure him of our love and sympathy, urge him to remain with this church If be can feel the will of the Lord in so doing. 4. That a committee of twenty-five be appointed, headed byjbe modera tor of this conference, to convey these resolutions to Dr. Lynch, said committee to meet at the church to morrow morning at 10 a. m. and pro ceed to tbo parsonage. Mr. W. J. Oliver, the well known promoter and railroad builder la now in Georgia inspecting his Une of the S. A. & N. and looking over the pro posed route to Athens. That the road will be built to this city Is practically certain ns the original incorporators of the company expected to build here. Mr. Oliver was in Augusta a few days since and while there talked freely of his plans to extend his road to .Athens. The Augusta Chronicle has the following to say of his plans The Future of the 8., A. A N. As is known, the Savannah, Augusta & Northern roud Is now in operation from Statesboro to Stevens’ Crossing, a distance of about 50 miles. It graded about 40 miles further north to Louisville, rrom which point It proposed to extend it further, though the definite plans of Mr. Oliver and his associates have not been made to the public, It is understood that their purpose Is to build from Louis vlile to a connection with the Geor gia railroad at or near Camak, either on the main line or on the the Camak- Macon branch: or, If this plan should not niaterailze, the road may be built Jhrough from Louisville to Athens to connect with the Seaboard Air Line or the Southern railway. The connection with the S. A. L., will, It suid, be more than likely, as It would give that road another outlet to the southeast, enabling It to get into Sa vannah by a direct air line from Athens, which point is a strategic lo cution on the S. A. I,. It would also be possible for the S., A. & N. to be utilized by the Southern railway as direct line from Athens to Savannah penetrating a territory which Is not now reached by the Southern. It hinted that both the L. & N. and the Seaboard Air Line have been making Inquiries as to the Savannah, Augus ta A Northern, and they are thought to be regarding it rather covetously, with a view to making It an Important link In their systems In south and cost Georgia. Railroad men affirm that the acqulaltlon of this property, which Mr. Oliver has built, would be a most valuable asset to either road thnt may purchase It. In the event that Mr, Oliver and his associates decline to transfer the road to some other line, na It has been sug gested may be done. It is understood they are prepared to make extensions to the line ns It now stands, taking It Into Savannah and also Into Au< gusta or to some point on the Geor gia road, or even into Athens, as has been suggested above. If this Is done, and the line Is still operated as an .Independent property. It Is thought eventually It will prove even moi than a local road for this lection ol Georgia. It wll go on Into the moun tains of North Georgia, and may reach Chattanooga. This was Inti mated by Mr. Oliver when he was In Augusta a few months ago with party of Knoxville gentlemen, her alding the recent Appalachian exposi tion st Knoxville. FLORIDA 8UNDAY SCHOOLS.

CHENEY’S • EXPECTORANT The Great Cough Cure For Children and Adults. Atlanta, March 28.—Senator Jos. M. Terrell's friends are deeply gratl lied at the result of recent reports of hit condition, and they are begin ning to believe now, whereas, they had some doubts about It a short time ago, that he will be able to see the race through to a finish. Senator Terrell has not only suffi clontly recovered to be able to walk about the house with the aid of stick, but he is taking dally drives new and getting the benefit of the open air. In all conversations with friends he reaffirms it as his purpose to be In Washington on April 10, leaving here on the 9th. While he does not expect to be able to attend the dally session of the senate immediately on his arrival, he feels that he will be able (o visit the capitol dally and to be in his office for a time each day, sufficient at least to attend to the business of his constituents. There are still those, however, who have some doubt about Senator Ter- roll going through the race, though It is charged that this talk comes from his political enemies. It Is said, loo, tha( the lack of activity in the senatorial situation has been due largely to Senator Terrell's condition ns even his political enemlels did not wish to appear to be taking ad vantage of hta Illness.

Russell, Ankona, Fla. -4t One of the most impressive and touching Incidents in the history of the First Baptist church occurred last night after the services were concluded when Dr. M. ,A. Jenkens, who has recently resigned the pas torate here to go to the church at Owensboro, Ky., was surprised In the presentation of an elegant token of esteem, lovo and devotion of his board of deacons and the ladles of the church he so faithfully served as pastor for upwards of two years. Just as the congregation was about to dlapene for their homes, Mr. J. A Darwin arose and aaked the au- dlenco to remain for a moment ■■ presented Judge Andrew J. Cobb, v. ho mounted the stand and in a voice In which there was the tenderness of real emotion vibrating through Its tones, spoke touchingly of the re lation of the people to their depart ing pastor; be alluded to the fact that when Dr. Jenkens assumed the pastorate he had pledged himself to the people to present to them the olci gospel from the Old Book; he testified for the church and all thoae who had had the pleasure of lifting under hia words that the preacher bad faithfully, fearlessly, tenderly kept that pledge and had at every service In every sermon Indeed and In truth told the old, old story of the old, old gospel from the heart of the old, old Book of books. For the board of deacon^ Judge Cobb presented Dr. Jtnkens with a handsome gold watch, Incomplete as a gift till to It was linked an elegant fob, the thought ful token from the good ladles of the congregation, that In his work In an other field of labor Dr. Jenkens may day by day remember the love and affection of the people of Athens for their pastor of 1909 to 1911 and their appreciation of the purity of the gos pel he preached—a purity typified by Ihc ure gold. The gift came as n complete sur prise to Dr. Jenkens and when be arose to acknowledge ft, his exp res alonx were hindered by the stirring of deep feeling which overpowered him'and prevented speech for a mo ment. He moat touchingly thanked Judge Cobb for the kind utterances, the deacons for the visible, tangi ble token of their loyalty, and the good women fot their expression of kindly regard and to all who have held him In affedtion and friendli ness he expressed a reciprocal senti ment. In a simple and Impressive manner he hearttly said in conclu sion; "May God bless and keep you every one." The watch la a beautiful affair, sol- gold, chased case, Waltham sev enteen-jewel ruby adjustable move ment, perfect In efficiency as a time keeper and appearance. The fob la alio a beautiful piece of jewelry. The cufflt waa purchased from Scudder’a. they were forced at times to display their best goods. Warliop, Caldwell and Vaughn worked In the box for the leaguers and all three were there with both feet In the pinches. It was Vaughn's first trial this spring and he looked Immense. He had his fast ball fairly burning the atmosphere. The Highlanders scored first, secur ing two runs In the second Inning. Fllliott was passed! He stole both stcond.nnd third and tallied while Hemphill was being thrown out. Chase hit to left field for a home run. In the third the New Yorkers got one run. Chase beat out a bunt to ward third, stole second and went to third on Knight's safe bunt. Hart- zell brought his manager In with a sacrifice fly to the center fielder. The collegians made a run in the fourth when McWhorter banged the ball to left for four bases. Three more for New York came In the fifth. Hartzell was hit by a pitched ball. He went to second when Daniels got In a short single over first. Hartzell and Daniels at tempted to work a double pilfer, but the former was thrown out at third. Walsh singled, scoring Daniels, and In turn tallied on Caldwell’s single over second. Felker played the ball bndly and Walsh got home. Elliott brought Caldwell In with a sweet double to left. College Boy Gets Homer. McWhorter opened the seventh for the home lads with a single to right. Drobks hit to the same spot and Mc Whorter by fast running made third. Blair caught McWhorter napping off third, but while running him down Hartzell pegged wild and both Mac and Brooks tallied. Chase's men cinched the battle In the eighth by making three more runs. Hemphill was hit by a pitched ball. Chase hit safely to left and the outfielder, In trying to catch Hemphill at third, threw wildly. Hemp tallying and Chase getting to third. Knight beat out a bunt.

For six Innings the raw collegians put up a brand of ball quite equal to that of the visitors. It was quite ns effective if not finished. In that time the lads of learning showed In Brannen and Cox a line of pltchlng tiiat made the hilltop crew appear very weak at bat. Only three sparse ly scattered hits were secured off Brannen and Cox in that time, and but for a rank error the Yanks would not have tallied. The wise guys, it is true, had no chance of victory at any time. Abies, Sykes and Revelle, who worked three innings apiece, prov ed far too cunning for them. But it was believed that Chase and his gang would make a better showing on offense. Hurry Call for Recruits. The boy manager finally had to call upon some of the sod busters to win the fickle smile of fortune. None other than Benny Kauff, the runaway Colt, sewed up the pastime tight as the bark on a birch tree. Benny didn’t look like a simple "cough” on his lone appearance at bat. With one on the sacks aod one out in the lucky seventh round he leaned up against one of Cox's finest curves for as pretty a home run as has been seen this year. Benny pranced around the bases and when he spiked the home plate the score w as 4 to 0 In his team's favor. Denny seems there as a pinch hitter, in Georgia at least. Kauff's swat to the trenches In deep right field took 'nil the gimp out of the locals. It detracted some what from the halo of little Catcher Russell, the first Yannlgan pressed Into service. On his first appearance nt bat the Virginian bounced home the first earned tally of the Gotham ites. With one out, Hartzell was safe on the shortsop's error. He stole second and scored on Rusell's clean single to right centre. Here Kauff batted for Sykes, with the result chronicled above. After the loop the loop, the defense of Georgia caved. Errors put both Elliott and Hemp hill out, and they worked a pretty play. Hal Chose “squeezed" bath across the dish when his bunt rolled through the drawn-ln Infield. Russell scored the final tun In the ninth. He was hit, advanced on an Infield out and scored on El liott's two-bagger. The run in the fourth wns a gift. Chase walked and stole, with one out. He got all the way round when a throw from the pitcher to catch him napping got through both the second baseman nnd central field. Georgia Gets Man on 8econd. The collegians never did have a chance. But one of them got as far nn second base. That waa Brannen, who scratched a hit, with one om. In the third. He stole second simply because Blair pegged wide. Brannen Was doubled up In trying to make third when Blair dropped the third strike on S. Gtnn.
