GREAT BAPTIST DEBATE.
The Eyes of Al! Baptists Turned To?
ward Sumter.
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.

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.
A large number of visitors is expected
to be present, and it is feared that the ho?
tels, and Private B?rding houses will not
be prepared to accomodate them. all.
If such private families as are willing to
take boarders for that occassion, at $1.00
a day, will notify Rev. F. M. Satteiwhite,
No. 15 W. Bartlette St, of that fact at
once, stating where they live, and how
many boarders they will take, he will
place them in communication with such
visitors as will make their home in priv?
ate families.
