THE BAPTIST NEWSPAPER. The third issue of the Baptist News was distributed among members of the local church at the morning service last Sunday. This, the. Janu ary number, is more than. twice the size of'the two preceding issues and is indeed a most interesting and helpful sheet. It is edited by the pas tor, Rev. Richard S. Fountain, and contains among other valuable infor mation, a short history of the Bap tist church in Siler City. Because of its interest to our readers, we reprint' the following: (Siler City, N. C., May 17, 1889) “A Presbytery consisting of Elders W. R. Gwaltney, J. B. Richardson, J. L. Smith, and J. D. Hackney , met at 8 p. m., in the Academy for the pur pose of considering the propriety of organizing a company of Baptist be lievers into a regular Missionary Bap tist church. After reading scriptures and prayer by the Rev. W. R. Gwalt ney, the Presbytery was organized by electing Rev. J. B. Richardson moder ator and J. D. Hackney, secretary. “Letters were called for, of those that wished to go into th eorganiza tion. The following bretheren and sis ters presented letters, viz: “Bretheren —D. L. Webster, J. J. Crutchleld, A. C. Jordan, W. L. Hud son, W. A. Teague, D. P. Beal, D. R. Sears and wife, Emily Sears, A. W. Wilson and wife, Patty Wilson. Articles of faith were read and adopted. The Presbytery then extend ed the right hand of fellowship. “The charge to the church was de livered by brother W. R. Gwaltney. “Presentation of Bible by brother J. D. Hackney. “Prayer by brother J. L. Smith. “On motion brother J. J. Crutch field was elected clerk of church. “On motion adjourned, benediction , ,by brother J, L. Smith. “Signed (Elder J. B. Richardson, moderator and Elder J. D. Hackney, clerk.”) CLASS IN DOMESTIC SCIENCE. J It was a most interested group of ’ women and girls, some sixty or more, ; that met in the basement of the Meth- J odist church last Thursday afternoon to hear Mrs. O. I. Hinson lecture on ? Domestic Science. Mrs. Hinson, who is a most capable woman, discussed her ' subject with such clearness and under- ! standing that there could remain no { doubt in the minds of those who heard 1 her that efficiency,, upon which point she laid particular emphasis, was most 1 essential in the accomplishment of < not only home but community work. ] In addition to her lecture Mrs. Hin- 1 son had prepared several most at tractive dishes as a demonstration, j Three of these were given away to i the ladies whose names were drawn, the winners being Mrs. R. F. Huddle ston, a cake; Mrs. W. S. Durham, a baking dish of meat and potatoes ready for the oven and Mrs. L. P. Dixon, a salad. l As a result of this meeting twenty- < five ladies gave their names for en- 1 < rollment in a class to be taught by ( Mrs. Hinson. This class is open to ev ery lady of the community. Dates of < the beginning of this work will be an nounced as soon as Mrs. Hinson can arrange a few of the details incident 1 to the same . ] SLEEPY JACK SENDS LETTER. « Bear Creek, Rt. 2, eFb. 5, —We are i sorry to say we still have much flu ] in our community . i The many friends of Mr. Will Gris- 1 wold will regret to hear of his death. < Mrs. Griswold is reported better. i Womble school which has been j suspended for sometime on account of the flu, will start again today. The school has so far been very success ful with Misses Eliza Reeves and Jes- \ sie Wilkie as teachers. Mrs. Effie Sykes who has been con- j fined to her bed for sometime with . an abscess on the brain, is up again her friends will be glad to know . Miss Flossie Dawkins has return- 1 ed home from Jonesboro, where she has been visiting her sister who is very sick. v \ Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Dawkins had 1 as guests Saturday their three sons, * John ,of Hemp, Daniel ,of Pittsboro, 1 and Nealie from Jonesboro. Mr. I. P. Coggins is much impoved. 1 ~ Bom to Mr. and Mrs. John Sharp, \ a fine boy. Mr. E .C. Hart has about completed ( his new residehce.

Some two weeks ago a troupe gave a program here that was disappointing to some degree. ] For this reason not so many were present at the Town Hall on Satur- ' day night to hear Mr. Joseph Vierra i and the other four delightful mem- < bers of his Company. Without ques- 1 tion this troupe of Hawaiians gave j the most artistic program ever ren- i dered in Siler City. The Gibson harp 1 played by Mr .Vierra was the first i •ne ever heard by local lovers and it ] was indeed a most pleasing part of < the program. 11 'A wizard indeed was Robert Matsu, < who held the audience almost breath less with his playing of the steel gui tar . Vt A pleasing feature adn one which gave a finished climax to this de lightful evening was the artistic dance of Mrs. Vierra, which with the tropical setting and electrical effect gave one a vivid impression of the Isle of Paradise. Those who failed to attend certain ly missed a rare treat. Dr Maddry To Visit Siler City. Dr. Charles E .Maddry, correspond ing secretary of the Baptist State Convention, will preach in the Siler C : tv church t.h e third Surdav night in February (Feb. 18) at 7:15. Jji. Maddry is a clear cut thinker and an unusually strong preacher. It is hoped that many of the members of our country churches will avail them selves of this opportunity to hoar Dr. Madar> . RICHA R D S. FOUNTAIN, SUGGEST TAX CHANGES Branson And Dickey Survey Field And Then Recommend. Continued From Page One.) tenants are to have a decent chance to rise into ownership.” v The Branson - Dickey pamphlet closes with a page headed “Construc tive Suggestions.” The recommenda tions are offered “not much for im mediate adoption as for popular dis cussion aimed at changes in the tax laws of the state as rapidly as prac tical wisdom may dictate.” Briefly, the proposals set forth are as follows: 1. Constitutional • changes that will permit the classification of property values . and tax rates thereon; which means the definite abandonment for all purposes of the ancient general property tax. 2. The separate listing of real estate and the taxes thereon in both town and country areas; the rates on improvements to be made low enough to encourage and reward industry and enterpr^re. 3. Definitely low taxes on homes occupied by owners and farms oper ated by the landlords thereof; defi nitely higher tax rates on unused or unimproved towns lots and farm lands and still higher rates on such lots and farm lands when owned by residents of other states and coun tries. This means progressive land taxes, beginning with low rates on productive purposes by the owners thereof, followed by rates gradually increasing according to acreage or value, with higher rates laid on un used, unimproved town lots and farm lands, and with highest rates laid on such unused property when held by alien landlords. 4. The taxing of equities and noth ing but the equities of home and farm owners when the properties are occupied or operated by the owners themselves. As it is now, the own ers of five-to-twenty-year mortgages amounting to $3,000 or less are ex empt from taxation in North Caro lina, provided these mortgages cover money loaned to buy homes and call for 5 per cent interest or less. If we can exempt the owners of such mort gages surely we can exempt the own ers of such jhomes on the property covered by tfiese mortgages. 5. A land settlement board, charged with investigating the California plan of establishing farm colonies, and re porting a feasible plan of North Caro lina. The pamphlet says that the pro gressive land tax has been in forct in New Zealand or thirty years. CARR WINS OUT IN "CONTEST The Davidsonian. On December 4th, the contestants from the Metrophiilian Literary So ciety, for the Freshman-Sophomore declaimers medal, met in Doctor Mc- Connell’s classroom to decide who would be the one to receive the hon ors from that society for this year. The speakers were W. A. Patterson whose subject-was “Universal Educa tion.” A. C. Ray, who spoke on “The Last Confederate,” and J. M. Carr who had chosen “The Fiddle Told,’ as his subject. Patterson delivered his declamatior in a manner pleasing to all present. Ray also gave a fine declamation, painting a picture of the Civil Wai to his hearers. Carr’s speech pictur ed a prisoner who had been set free through the words of his old fiddle, as the Governor played it. The judges Were Doctor Grey, Doc tor Harding and Professor wagner. After lengthy discussion, they decid ed that Carr was the lucky contest ant. His good delivery, together' with his well chosen subject, won for him the much-coveted medal. BASKET BALL GAME LAST WEEK The girls, basketball team, compos ed of Misses Emma Dark, Myftle Williams, Evelyn Fox, Mildred Dor sett and Iris Reitzel, chaperoned by Misses Farrabe and Thompson of the school faculty, went to Greensboro last Wednesday afternoon to play against a team from Buffalo school. While We are not trying to make an excuse for our girls for having lost the game, the score being 28 to 12, yet it is only fair to state that it was their first experience playing on an indoor court and naturally they were thus handicapped. They played a plucky game and in the second half showed up well against their op ponents. , v Sec. Morgan and Miss Farabow. Secretary Perry Morgan of the ®• Y .P. U., for North Carolina, and Miss Elma Leigh Farabow, junior worker, will hold a B. Y. P. U., In stitute in the Siler City Baptist church, beginning April 22 and going thr ?ugh April 25th. Both Mr. Morgan and Miss Farabow have headquartres m Raleigh, and both are experts in their line. Our country churches, it is hoped, will encourage their young people to attend this Institute and derive as much benefit as possible both from the workers and the study courses. RICHARD S.
