Doc tors J6hn B. Briggs, O. J. Copeland, A. C. Ward, John E. White, W. W. Lan drum and J. W. Millard. The Baptist ministers met at 10 o'clock In the Sunday school room of the First Baptist church. After prayer and a song It was announced that B. Y. Clarke, Jr„ a reporter from The At lanta Constitution, had requested the privilege of making a statement to the ministers concerning the meeting last Monday, hit report of which had been declared a misrepresentation. By unanimous vote the reporter's request as granted. In a paper of live long typewritten pages Mr. Clarke had prepared his statement. Mr. Clarke Is a lay preach er of the Presbyterian church. After devoting conelderkble time to telling of his newspaper work In Atlanta and how for four years he had striven to lead a Christian Ilfs, he said: Newspsper Men—end Religion, 'And right here I would like to say that It Is hard fop a man to retain Ms Christian character and mix with those In a new|paper office.' The last part of Mr. Clarke’s statement dealt In detail with the charge of the live ministers that he had mle- repreeented the Baptist ministers of Atlanta by saying that they had held an antl-Torrey meeting, and/had Minted a committee to go before 3uslnese Men's Gospel Union and pro test against Torrejr* return to Atlan ta.

That the mlnlsten found themselves In an unpleasant situation and tried to shift the responsibility on.a press rep resentative. • That It Is a common occurrence for men to try to shove off on reporien re sponsibility for snptesssnt situations arising from newspaper stories. Mr. Clarke closed his statement with the remark: "t pave nothing to re tract." In Executive Session. Following Mr. < Clarke's statement there was considerable discussion as to hat shoufll be done by the ministers, was Anally decided that the body should go Into executive eeselon and that reporters should be barred. Mr. Clarke was allowed to remain. At the conclusion of the meeting ft was learned that the Business Men's » l Union would make a statement public Tuesday morning and In this will be Incorporated the resolutions the Baptist ministers passed Monday morning.

On streets, In clubs and wherever a few gathered together that was tjie trend of comment atfer the Joint debate In Rome Saturday. Saturday forenoon the Howell people were not In evidence. To even the most casual observer the outlook seemed an overwhelming Smith crowd In the town, and from tne surrounding country. A gray-halred patrtarcl ably voiced the general reeling: “Bf thnr’s eny Howell voters here terday, blamed ef they ain't stayin' out er sight."

Mr, Bmlth bore himself with accus tomed confidence and looked upon his adversary with a curious admixture of contempt and pity. It was not needed, for Mr. Howell gave a good account of himself.
