Statesvl.te, also, has Charlotte far (’UtclasRed in this rest>ect, and, in fact, almost every town of western North Carolina. East Tenneisee rtises millions of dollar* worth of poultry each year, and east Tennesij«e supplies the Charlotte markets with products which could easily and profitably be raised in the county. Solid carloads of eggs and chickens are brought Into Charlotte frequently from east Tennessee. Some of these days the farmers of Mecklenburg will appreciate the pecul iar advantages in climatic coadition». etc., which they are wa«tlng and will 3ceep the profit at home, which Is now Koing elsewhere. If east Tennessee farmers can make a good profit on efCRs and chick^s, af ter freightage Is deducted to Char lotte, it stands to reason that the farm ers of the county have a better op portunity when they have at their door a market which has never been sup plied by “home talent.” i "SHIP EARLY.” f ^ "Shop early" ig the slogan you have heard before. We are offering a new one. at the Instance of the Expre5?s Company. Facts about Chris*,maR ex- preM -work are Interesting. We have told that the bulk of the Christ mas packapres are handled from the 22nd to the 2r,th. The result is that with an offlce over-njn with business, mistake* are made by new help, which i the Christmas ni^h made necessary, the shipper in the rush of the last min ute falls to properly pack his parcel, forgets to make the address plain, and th« result Is that the package Is delay ed In transit, and mtich annoyance caused. "Ship early’" ig a good motto for the Chrlatmas period. By placing your shipment early yon do not give the ex press company any additional profit, but you do give them a chance to han dle your shipment as It should be han dled. An army of men and boys are kept busy day and night durlns the Christ mas period In the effort to handle the bulk of business piled up, and if mls- lAkes are made, it is not altogether the fault of the express employes, but largely of the shippers, who piled up a load too big to be handled right In the time allotted. "Shop early” and then “ship early“ and all hand* will fare the better. in contributions to state missions, $3,195.80: gain in contributions to home missions, $2,110.50; gain in con tributions to foreign missions, $1,- 325.85; gain in contributions to the orphanage, gain in contri bution to ministerial education, $1,- 335 S7- gain in contributions to min isterial relief. $1,00}*,87: making a total gain to all objects of the con vention, $13,364.78. “The amount of money contributed to the various claims of the state convention last year, according to the rei>on of statistics published, was as follows; To state missions, $39,- 2»;8.7o; to home missions, $23,143.72; to foreign missions, $38,51*7.52; to Sunday school missions, $2,001.87; to the orphanage, $36,406.30; to min isterial edtication, $5,999.63; to aged ministers, $4,849.11; making a total to all causes, $150,250.11. “There are three colleges and 13 academies which are conducted un der the direction of the state conven tion of North Carolina. During last \*ear 405 students were enrolled in Wake Forest College. 4u:i students in Meredith College for Women and 2.5U0 students were enrolled in the 13 secondary schools. “RegardinK the support of retired ministers, the Baptist denomination shows the same lack of liberality as is shown in otlier denominations, ai*d special effort is bein^ made among the Baptists to increase the sum or money contributed annually for this pnriKjso, as is being matle in other denominations. The repoit of the Bap tist niinisiers' relief l>oard siiljmitted to the convention one year ago, show ed an incr€»ase in the contributions to tliis caifse, but even with the in crease tiie amount contributed was inadequate to the demand. The re port showed that nearly three-tifths of ihe churches in the state convention nave nothing to tbi.« cause and n\ore than one-fourth of the associations iMiarlotte 1 Kave nothing, and a num»>er of the ■ assocla'tlons that do contribute gave almost nothing. Four of the associa tions which contributed nothing have members who are beneficiaries on the relief board. "Tlie growth of the Baptist denomi nation in North Carolina was espec- iall.v rapid during the decade from 1900 to 1910. There were 163,098 white Baptists in this stte in 19O0, while ten years later there were 219,- 46i>. The orphanage of the conven tion is located at Thomasville. and is designated as the Thomasville Bap tist orphanage. Ten years ago there were 18S children cared for there and $17 ,588 was contributed to the supiKjrt of the institution. I^st year thee hildren numbered 385 and the amount contrlljuted to thetr support was $52,298. The value of the or phanage, Including invested funds, is $240,000. There are seven build ings on the grounds, tw’o barns. There are waterworks, sewerage and electric light systems in the l)uild- ings, and a laundry Is one of the re cent additions. “The amount which the state con vention contributed, to the cause ot state missions ten years ago was $18,- 530.14; to foreign missions, $8,757.66; to home missions, $5,538.65; to edu cation $2,332.96; to ministerial re lief, $1,099.72; to Sunday schools, $61.'>,05. The figures already given for the contributions of 1910 show' the decided Increase in each case dur- ing the decade. “During the last year $158,748.64 was paid on pastor’s salaries and $171,497.84 was raised for church building. The state convention lays special emphasis upon the import ance of state missions—the work being done by missionaries of the convention In the state of North Car olina—and a large assessment is made for this cause every year. Ten years ago there were only 75 min isters doing mlslonary work In the state, while last year that number had Increased to 149. During the de cade the Baptists of North Carolina have contributed $314,147.61 to this cause, l^st year the missionaries working in the Interest of state mis sions reported 2,227 additions to tne church as the result of baptism, and 1,284 additions by letter.” BAKkN6-POWDEI Absolutely Fur To have pure and wholesome food, be sure that your bakinf' powder is made from cream of tartar and not from alum.

The BapUsta hosts are assembled In Winston-Salem for their annual convention. They retiresent one or the stronfest, If not the strongest, religious bodies in the Sotith. According to statistics complied for last year there were 1.804 church- es In the state and a total member ship of 221,618 from 1,872 churches reporting, 32 churches not having submitted reports. Other facts set forth on various lines of church work ar® of interest: "According to these figures there "n« a gain In membership during I-"f year of 7,210.

It was between two stations” that .Mr. Taft, according to his private sec retary, Mr, Norton, offered to square the insurgent republicans in congress with patronage after withholding it from them w'hen they opposed him. It was "between two stations” that .Mr. Taft permitted Attorney General Wickersham to lend his aid to the con spiracy to remove Dr. Wiley. As he says of the Winona speech, “Had I known as much then as I do now, 1 should have realized that there are some things one cannot leave to be taken for granted.” That a president of long judicial training should have fallen into habits 80 improvident during his brief stay In the W’hite House makes Mr. Taft’s case the mtore pitiful. An ordinary sense of prudence should have guard ed him against errors he committed in his haste “between tw'o stations. A fuller sense of responsibility should have restrained him on more occas ions than that of the unfortunate W’inona speech from acting without de lil)eralion. In his loss of popularity, in his po litical decline, Mr."Taft is paying the cost of trying to run the government as an impromptu affair “between tw'O stations.”—New York W^orld. cotton for sale. It is particularly de sirable that the farmer should hav6 a steady source of income throughout the year. The local demand throughout the South for dairy products, poultry and eggs is such as to enable the farmer who produces a surplus of these com modities to have a weekly Income thmroughout the year sufficient to meet his bills with local merchants and a regular income, such a& this, even though the amount received p6r week may be small, will go far In as sisting him to market his cotton when there is an economic demand for it.” PRES. FINLEY LAYS STRESS ON DIVERSIFIED FARMING. m f “Between Two Stations.'’ In the authorized Interview with Mr. Taft in the Outlook the president con- fesfces that if he were to make the Winona speech over again he would ex|)res8 hiniself different. I dictated that speech to a steno- gfrapher on the cars between two sta tions and glanced through It only enough to straighten its grammar. It wals sent out by the press with corres pondingly little ceremony, so that Xhe papers received it in all sorts of shapes. If I had prepared it two or three weeks before and revised It de liberately, as I ought to have done, I should have clarified several passages. And particularly I should have chang ed the sentence where I proclaim the Payne tariff act the best ever passed. •‘Between two station'^”—in that pa thetic admission Mr. Taft reveals the fatal weakness of his administration. Honest , frank, sympathetic, well- meaning, he has blundered along tact lessly, even stupidly, doing the work of government from day to day with out foresight and without weighing consequences. Ever since entering the White House he has led a sort of happy-go-lucky existence. It was not enough that a good part of his official life should l)e spent on wheels; im portant acts that were to determine the future of his administration and his party were improvised between stops. It wa* “between two stations” that Mr. Taft composed the fatal Wlnlna 8|)eech that still plagues him. He dic tate^. it in haste and repented It at leisure. It was “between two stations" that Mr. TaW Involved himself hopelessly In the Ballinger affair. The antedat ing of official papers and the suppres sion of evidence discredited his ad ministration and shook public confi dence beyond repair. It was “between two stations” that Mr. Taft mobilized the army and or dered' it to the Mexican border. He is quoted In the Outlook as saying: “The whole thing was done between two days. Congress was in recess and Knox was out of town. I had no one to cotmsel with on fofeign affairs.” If he had made at the time such an ex planation of the move as he tow of fers, it would have had a reassuring effect upon the public mind. Instead, there were only mystery and conflict ing rumors. The pretext of “millitary N Special to The News . Washington, D, C., Dec. 5.—Presi dent Finley, of the Southern Railway Company, in a recent address at the Black Soil Belt Fair, at Demopolis, Ala, laid great stress upon the importance of diversified farming as enabling the cotton planter to market his crop to better advantage. Speaking of this sub ject today, Mr. Finley said: “The cotton grower who dtverslfies his farming, at least to the extent of rendering himself Independent of out side sources of supply for all of the grains, fruits, vegetables, meats and dairy produpts consumed on his farm, is enabled to market his cotton when there is an economic demand for it. He is not compelled to sell regardless of market conditions, as has so often been the case, under the necessity of meeting obligations incurred for food stuffs and other necessaries of life by reason of failure to produce them on the farm. The cotton farmer is, of course, in a still more advantageous position if he carries diversification to the extent of having something besides “Did anyone call wileh I was out, Nora ?” “Yis, mum, a gintlemum called. 1 don’t know his name, but I could show you his face, as there’s four of him up on your dressin’ table.”—Sa tire, r TROW OUT THE LIFE LINE Give Them Help and Many Charlotte People Will Be Happier. “Throw Out the I.iife Line”— The kidneys need help.
