Dallas, Tex., June 10.-Dr. J. B.

He was 79 years old and had been ill

'was a noted southern educator, hav
ing served as professor at various
Southern Baptist Theological Insti
tutions.' For many years "he was ed
itor of the Baptist Standard at Dal

three daughters.
Was Mercer President.
Macon, Ga., June 10.-Dr. J. B
Gambrell was president of Mercer
university from 1893 to 1896, when
' he was called to Texas, where Bap
tists credit him with doing his great
est work. He once clashed with Gen
eral Fred Funston.
. Dr. Gambrell was born in Ander
son, S. C., and graduated from the
University of Mississippi.
*i When the War Between the States
broke out he joined the Second Mis
sissippi Regiment, serving four years,
being wounded five times. He was in
the famous charge when General
Pickett led the Virginia and Missis

been wounded.
After the war General Pickett mar

Dr. Gambrell became famous
among the followers of the Baptist
denomination while doing editorial

"old time religious" advocacy. .
Four years ago Dr. Gambrell and
Dr. E. Y. Mullins went to Europe to
make a survey for the Baptist Church
of the work there. His health began to
fail shortly after his return from Eu

ed that he didn't "want "hell's fire
preached to' soldiers." The secretary
of war upheld Funston.
New Fields Opened in Senate
Hearing of Ford's Contest.
Washington, June 10.-New fields
.were opened today in the senate con
sideration of Henry Ford's contest
for the seat of Senator Newberry of
Michigan, when at the instance of
Ford counsel, subpeonas were issued
for William C. Duranlt, former presi
dent of the general Motors Company;
Andrew Green, Jr., president of the
Solvy Process Company, and Lyman
D. Smith, New York's stock broker.
None of the men were drawn into the
criminal prosecutions which preced
ed the contest, but will be asked Mon
day to tell of any connection they
may have had with the Newberry
?campaign financing in 191.
Today's scission was marked by a
clash between Alfred and Henry
Lucking, attorneys for Ford, and
Chairman Spencer and some of the
senatorial committee members, and
by the withdrawal of Paul H. King,
"Newberry campaign manager, from
the witness stand when he evinced
symptoms of nervous collapse during
examination concerning expenditures
under his control. Charles A. Floyd,
secretary of the Newberry campaign
committee, took his place, and the
Luckings father and son, armed with
6tacks of cancelled checks, said to
number 1800, pressed him sharply.
These checks, though ranging in
amounts up to $17,500, marked
"paid" by the banks, and said to have
heen given to many individuals in
cluding Floyd, the witness explained
as "reconcilement checks." No money
actually passed upon them, he insist
ed, but they evidenced money pre
viously paid out, and their total
of $160,000, he said, constitut?d in
the Newberry primary election cam
paign.
, Chairman Spencer interrupted the
examination, and, though Alfred
Lucking protested vehemently, held
to his decision that "this is enough
about these checks." Senator Pome
renne democrat, Ohio, however, left
the committee room in some heat af
ter failing to force an adjournment
Floyd conceded total of expendi
turs in the primary campaign for
Senator Newberry was $176,000.
Through King, the campaign man
ager, Mr. Lucking earlier in the day
put in the record of discreption of
the Newberry campaign, striving to
show Senator Newberry's familiarity
with the details and financing.
King, however, said he took orders
from his principal, he said, but went
ahead -alone on campaign projects
.without even reporting by mail.

zil next* month; Miss Mary Elliott
Carnes, who is entering training, and
Miss Alice McMakin, who has been
in the work for some time.

neeting by the. president that the
?vomen of St. John's Methodist
murch of Anderson who were the
lostesses, had paid all expenses,
amounting to $659.50, and that it
?vas expected to take part of the ex
penses from the treasury, but that
me chairman, Mrs. Walter H. Nardin,
stated that the women of St. John's
?vere glad to pay all expenses.
Anderson college has been an ideal
place for entertaining this body and
:he delegates, as a whole, expressed
appreciation of the use of the build
ings and the auditorium. There was
>o much work to be done that there
was no time for social entertainments
and the delegates only allowed time
for an auto ride over the city. .
Many of the delegates left today
an the early trains, others going on
later trains.
W. T. C. Bates, Jr., Gets Sen
tence of $5,000 and Five
Years.
The feature case in the proceedings
)f the United States District Court
'or the Eastern district of South Car
bina yesetrday was that of W. T. C.
Bates, Jr., the 22-year-old assistant
.ashier of the Liberty National bank
)f Columbia, who pleaded guilty to
laving embezzled money of the bank
n the sum of $150,000. Judge Henry
\. M. Smith sentenced the defendant
;o a fine of $5,000 and costs and five
rears in the federal penitentiary at
Atlanta. Upon request of hi? attor
?ey, Mr. Mendel L. Smith, of Cohim
)ia, the court granted a suspension of
;he sentence for thirty days in order
;hat an application for a pardon may
>e filed with the departmennt of jus
ice at Washington. Bates was re
eased under $20,000 bond'.-Charles

Too Many Government
Employees.
Not many years ago the citizens of
;his country were startled by the an
?ouncement that the expenses of the
federal Government for one year
.eached the billion dollar mark. The
Congress which appropriated what
vas then considered ^ vast sum of
noney was called the billion dollar
Congress and many members thereof
iither lost their seats or had a painful
lime explaining this extravagance to
heir constituents.
The appropriations of the present
Congress plus overdrafts on the pub
ic treasury amount to $5,500,000,
)00, or the sum of $50.38 for every
nan, woman and child in continental
Jnited States. Much of this ,of course
nay be rightly charged to the recent
var, but a great deal of it may also
>e charged to extravagance, to waste
fulness and pet schemes for paying
)olitical debts with fat but useless
obs. Therf ore the country gives wel
:ome to President Harding's an
?oun?ement that he is going to clean
muse-in fact several houses-and
lispense with useless political posi
;ions, saving to the Nation many
;housands of dollars in salaries now
jaid to idle men and women. As a
.itizen of this great country we hope
ie makes good.-Farm & Ranch.

COULD NOT OVERCOME HABIT
African Explorer Impelled to Guard
Against Assassination, Even in
Midst of Friends.
An anecdote of Slr Henry M. Stanley
that well illustrates the famous ex
plorer's mental unrest is related by
Mr. W. W. Ellsworth, in "A Golden Age
of Authors."
"We entertained the Stanleys at an
afternoon reception," says Mr. Ells
worth. "It was in the old clubhouse at
Lafayette place, New York. I was on
the committee, and I wanted Mr. Stan
ley-he was not knighted then-to
stand in a certain place near the cen
ter of the room, where he could receive
the people. But he would not stay,
there; he insisted on backing up
against the wall.
"Finally I appealed to Mrs. Stanley:
'Why will not your husband stand
where I put him?' 'Simply,* she said,
'because he is afraid some one will
stick him in the back with a spear. ..
"The habit, acquired in Africa,;of
protecting himself by standing with
his back against a wall was too' much
for Stanley even In the safety of a New
York afternoon reception."
Solemn Occasion.
Simpson and Stimpson had been
great friends In the earlier years of
their lives, but not so very long ago
Stimpson took to himself a wife ?nd
now Simpson proposed to follow the
noble lead.
The approach of Simpson's trial
er-triumph grew near. On the mor
row he intended to propose to the
lovely lady, b.ut, first of all, he had
decided to have a little chat with his
old friend Stimpson.
"Were you all nerves when you "pro
posed to your wife?" the single one
asked the spliced.
Stimpson sighed.
"I wasn't," he admitted. "But If I
could have foreseen the future I
should have been!".

A young doctor was visiting Mary
Ellen's single aunt. He made much
over the young woman, but she was
singularly aloof. Finally the young
man asked the'little girl to kiss him,
but she refused with dignity. -
Then auntie came to the rescue.
"Don't you like Doctor R-?" she
asked. "Why won't you kiss him,
dear?"
Mary Ellen raised her head proudly.
"My brother Bob told me never to kiss
a doctor," she answered. "He said If
I did I might get my throat full of ,
germs."
