The row in the Baptist 0011
veution at Greenville over th<
Furmttn university trustees' aotioi
in calling for the resignation o
the Rev. Dr. G. B. Moore, whicl
threatened the disruption of lh<
school by withdrawal on the par
of the students, has auded will
Dr. Moore's resignation.
Dr. Moore is well known to i
number of Rock Hill people. He
was one of the speakers at the
Winthrop commencement las'
summer. A December 4 Green
villo special to the News anc
Courier says :
A Are brand was thrown intr
* the Baptist camp today by the
board of trustees of Furman Uui
versify. Tha rosignatiwt ef Prof,
< Gordon B. Moore was demanded,
and Lewis M. Roper, pastor ol
the First church of Spartanburg
was elected president of the institution.
The question of the
election of a president of Furmau
has agitated the Baptists of the
State for months. President
Montague tondored his resigna
tiou last summer and went to
Alabama. His action created the
greatest flurry ol any event that
has occupied the atteulion o!
Baptists for years. Charges ol
infidelity in the faculty wort
made and counter changes of unfaithfulness
of tho president were
filed. Much heated newspaper
and personal controversy followed,
Prof. Moore being the centre
of attack. Dr. Moore and his
friends denied the charges made
0 against him, and Prof Montague
end llifl frii.n/^o r?n?n ?l- ~ ? ?4
ara^MVAO If ViO V CilUUlt'Iil
in their reiterated claims. Friends
were made and lost by both sides.
^ The fate of Furmau was in the
balance. The qnestiou from the
Montague party finally resolved
itself into, "Which is larger,
Moore or Furman?" The Moore
party, on the other hand, stated
with emphasis that I'rof. Moore
was one of the best scholars and
deepest thinkers of the {South
Whatever the actual facts may
be, the trustees were in a quau

The State of Saturday :
The diirerencea which hav<
reaulted in the preaent. unfortu
nate aituation in the Baptiat de
nomination have been growinj
3 for Hoveral yeara, although it ii
1 doubtful whether any one cat
tell juat how it all began. A
1 word or two about the peraonali
3 ty of Dr. Moore may be firat ii
order.
1 Gordon Beverly Moore ia a bi*
man ; hia brain ia big, hie hear!
1 ia big. He ia a Virginian b\
" oirth aud studied at Richmond
i __ ? -- -
college Dut did not graduate
Ilia first work as a minister wai
' iu Virginia, when he was a raw
green, couutry lad. To this day
he has uot worn off the timidity
) and sensitiveness which were
' then so apparent in his make-up :
near-sighted and somewhat awk'
ward, both in the pulpit and
' class room he appears ill at ease,
' having none of the graces of the
' orator. But, his sermons and hie
lectures are masterly ! When
I)r. Moore preaches and when he
1 teaches you feel that you are lis
1 tening to one who has communed
with master minds and who hap
thought, out for himself tho prob'
lems of God and of man, the
problems of the ages. Naturally,
. such a man is misunderstood,
. misjudged and misrepresented.

chair he has grown greatly in
1 mentality, having been a hard
student all the time, lie has
1 read widely and written much in
addition to his class room work.
1 One year he spent at the Univer1
Bity of Chicago, having l^nvo of
absence from Farman. Ho ha*
' lor Htveral years been associate

it was just here that Dr. Moored
trouble began.

Winthrop Girl's Get a Week.
Heretofore the students at Winthrop
have been accorded only
one day's holiday at Christmas.
Tuesday last the board of trustees
met in HolumKiu a-Vion tVm

tion again came up and the following
resolution was adopted :
Resolved, That the president
be authorized to iutermit all col
lege exercises from Tuesday
afternoon, December 23, 1902,
to includo Monday, December 29,
and to grant furlough during this
time to all pupils whose parents
may in writing request same.
Resolved, That further consideration
of a winter vacation be
deferred to next annual meeting.
At the same meeting of the
board the resignation of Miss
Ethel Nance as music teacher
was presented and accepted, and
the board elected Miss Paruoll
Jones of Laurens, a graduate of
Winthrop College, to fill the vacancy.
The approaching marriage
of Miss Nance has been
announced.

"Be careful," but we must all go from
heated houses in to chill outer air, and
the change sets us coughing and
wheezing. Avoiding winter colds is
difficult; curing them is not hard if
you take Allen's Lung Balsam. Better
begin when the cold is young and
not wait until it settles deep into the
lungs, for then, even with Allen's
Lung Balaam, complete relief will be
slower.
