The Baptist denomination in several Southern States has been disturbed recently by the question of "alien immersion" and the leading men of that church are considerably divided on the subject. The general discus? sion of the question that has been in progress in this section for some time has led to a desire for a full and authoritative debate of all the points in dispute and to that end a debate between Rev. J. J. Porter, D. D., of Joplin, Mo., and Rev. C. C. Brown, D. D. of this city has been arranged. The debate will take place in the First Baptist Church, this city on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, July 15th,. 16th and 17th. The ques? tion to be debated is'stated as follows : "The practice of Alien Immerson is subversive of Baptist * Principles as taught by the New Testament." Dr. Porter will take the affirmative side of the question and Dr. Brown the negative. The. debate is expected to cover the subject and for that reason their will be hundreds of prominent Baptists from all parts of the South present. To those not con? versant with the situation the interest that the question arouses cannot be fully realized, but it is regarded by Baptists as one of the questions of vital importance to their church. It is predicted that there will be several hundred visitors in the city to attend the debate and it is feared by those who have charge of the arrangements that the hotels and regular boarding houses will not be able to accommodate all of the visitors. D. J. Chandler, the Clothier, is prepared to furnish a complete outfit for those who go away for a summer outing at the seashore or in the moun? tains. See the new advertisement to? day. Fire at Stateburg. The barn and stables of Mr. H. L. Pinckney, of Stateburg, were burned on lase Snnday night. Four mules and one horse were burn? ed in the stable, while the contents of the barn were a total loss. Mr. Pinckney is in Charleston and the full extent of the loss cannot be ascer? tained. The bare facts above stated were obtained by telephone, but no par? ticulars as to the origin of the fire could be learned. There were three hail storms in one section of Concord township Thurs? day afternoon. The first occurred at 2 o'clock and the other two about two hours apart later in the afternoon. Crops were seriously damaged, tobac? co in particular. Sumter is a poor market for stolen cattle-the police are too vigilant. Glenn Springs Mineral Water clears the complexion and softens the skin. I GREAT DEBATE j SlW "The practice of Alien Immersion is subversive of Baptist Principles as taught by the New Testament," is the subject which will be discussed in the First Bap? tist Church of Sumter, S. C., by Rev. J. J. Porter, D.D., of Joplin, Mo., and Rev. C. C. Brown, D.D., of Sumter. The discussion will open at 8 p. m., Wednesday July 15th.. extend through Thursday, and probably embrace Friday.
