“OFFERING A REWARD
FOR LYNCHING NEGRO
OUTRAGE ONDECENCY
—DR/JOHN E. 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-

Dr. Spalding stated that within the
next five years there would.be an im
mense amount of discussion of social

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.

Havana, Cuba, Sept. 10.—That there
has been desperate fighting between
the rebel army of Pino Guerra Jn Plnar
del Bio und* the government folces un
der Avuloez seems certain, but details
of the battle are as yet lacking.
From the beat Information available
it appeara that the armored train which
wa* atopped by the rebels Saturday
waa attacked by a large force of rebel*
and only the presence of a battery of
American machine gun* commanded by
Captain Webster, an American, enabled
General Diaz, in command of the train,
to atand off the rebels until Colonel
Avaloez with a regiment of rurales at
tacked Guerra in the rear, and, ac
cording to government reports, de
feated him with heavy loss.
Slaughtered by Guns.
Some reports place his loss as high
i 200, due largely to the work of the
machine guns. Several other railroad
bridges in Plnar del Rio have been
own up by the rebels.
That the government is <
danger of an attack on th
e. is evidenced by t\
itlcally all the troop*
recruit* have been
front, leaving the defense
practically to the police.
Information from u usually reliable
•eniivi* (••pol ls that the government has

the intention of recruiting a regiment
of American rough riders for use
against the rebel*. As many of them
