North Carolina, by the advice of his
physician, lias resigned his charge at
that place, and will retiro to a farm
at Pear Poplar, Rowan county, North

the change. We regret that the
condition of his health made it neces

the desired effect. —Our Church "a

The largest fire Hickory Ims ever
O *
had started in the ironing room of
the Central Hotel about noon,
Wednesday, the 23rd inst. The
wind was from the South, and very
soon the whole building was envel
oped 111 llames, which were commu
nicated to the Tunis Hotel, and
from that to the Belmont Hotel, and
to the resilience of Mr. G. Marshall.
From the Belmont Hotel the lire
took one after another the three
frame buildings used in the earlier
days as stores or residences and
thus cleaned out the whole block
between Lincolnton streot and the
--frhoad. Much furniture and house-
wan saved, but the
scorching beat drove men ore
•emptying the houses. In about an
hour seven buildings were in smol
dering ruins, leaving sixteen lonely
cilimneys stauding evidences of the
joss. The Central Hotel was owned
by Dr. J. R. Ellis on which we are
told he had an insurance of $3,000
which will probably cover half bis
Joss.
The other buildings all belonged
to Mr. G. Marshall, whose loss we
s judge between five and seven thou
sand dollars. Mr. Fields, proprie
tor of the Western Hotel had $1,500
insurance on furniture. Press de
layed to say this much.
Meeting of I.yle's Creek Farmer *
Club.
On Saturday the fifth of this mouth
the farmers of this community had a
very interesting meeting. itconsisf
ed according to previous airacge
ments, of several interesting upeech
es in regard to farmer's associations.
At 11 o cluck, there was a vetv able
speech delivered by W. H. Mowser.
urged upon tlie farmers the necessi
ty of organizing for tlie sake of mu
tual protection, also warning them
not to become discourage I too quick.
Fie showed them tha f all great achiev
nients are acquired only by patient
and persevering energy. Although,
s»_\s he, we may not feel the effects
of our labors just at the present, but
the time will come when agriculture
will be considered as one of the
most honorable occupations that man
can engage in, and the farmers will
be respected as highly as any other
class of men. After this ch fil
ing speech, we all had a nic-* little
dinner, spread upon tal>!e by the
good wives of thr farmers who came
o;it to cheer their liusbnnds in
their noble work. After this pleas
ant repast, the crowd again assem
bled, and was addressed for about
half an hour by Mr. J. A Yount.
Hid was a very interesting and com
mon sense talk, as well as the one
delivered before dinner. He spoke
of farming as an art and a calling. As
an art, he showed the falsity of the
prevalent opinion that farmers need
not be educated. Aft a calling, he
showed that it was one among the
most honorable, if not the most.
Thus ended our pleasant little meet
ing. It was not so largely attended
as we had expected it to bo owing to
the busy season. But I think all
who diil attend thought that it was
good for them to have been there.

BTATK CONVENTION.
Visitors from >t/r r Slates—State

corderj tc.,
Messrs. Editors: —The North Car
olina Baptist State Convention, rep
resenting 200,000 Baptists, met in
the city of Durham the 16th instant.
\Y A. Pace, Esq., a successful law
yer, of Raleigh, was elected Presi
dent, the Rev. Dr. Bailey, editor of
the Biblical Recorder, having de
clined re-election. Rev. G. "\Y\.
Clroen, of Moravian Falls and X. B
Broughton, Esq, of Raleigh, were
elected Secretaries.
Visiting brethren were received
and cordially invited to seats, as fol
lows :
Rev. Dr. Griffith, representing the
American Baptist Publication Soci
ety, of Philadelphia ; Rer. J. I',
Boyco, D.D., of Louisville, Ky. ;
Rev. J. W. Jones, D.D. Atlanta, Ga ;
Rer. T. P. Bell, Richmond, Va.; Rer.
•las. E. Carter, of the Western North
Carolina Baptist : Kev. A. E. Dick
inson, D.D., of the Richmond, Va.,
Religious Herald ; Rev. G. \V. Tomp
kies, of Va , and Rev. T. P. Lide, of
South Carolina. A large number
of delegates were present from this
State, filled with enthusiasm and a
w ill to work.
The Convention raises and ox
pemls from SB,OOO to §IO,OOO annu
ally in aiding weak churches, in the
support of their pastors. Owing to
the departure from tho State of
John E. Ray, who has had this work
m charge for the last ten or twelve
years, and from the distressingly
hard year p~ave fears were enter
tained lest .his Board of Missions
should come out heavily in debt and
have its work crippled thereby. But
the Secretary was enabled t!> report
that the debt of $2,000, which stared
them in the face a week ago, had all
been raised, the 82 missionaries paid
in full, and a balance in the treasury
with which to commence next year's
operations. Rev. C. Durham suc
ceeds Mr. Ray as Secretary. He will
devote all his time to this work, and
his past success is a sure guarantee
that it will not lag in his hands.
The Convention raised in a short
time a balance of SSOO for the pur
chase of a lot in Concord upon which
a Baptist church will soon be built. ,
It is said to be one of the liuest'
building lots in the town, cotstiug j
£(> so, and though the Baptist inter- ;
est there is very weak, yet by the aid
of the Convention they are able to j
have a strong preacher and an ener
getie pastor. In this way Baptists ;
are entering many places where they
have hitherto been unknown, and
making themselves felt as a power
for good.
One of the very l>est foreign mis- j
sion meetings the writer ever attend
ed was held during the Convention.
Rev. Dr. G. H. Pritchard, of Wil
miugton, made an admirable address,
and a good many of us who had
known Rev. T. P. Bell, of Richmond,
thought that he made the speech of
his life. Tho meeting was closed
with a collection of more than
£l.lOO for the foreign field. North
Carolina Baptists are missionary to
the core, and such meetings as this
will makt them more so.
Rev. J. W. Jones. D.D., General R.
E. Lee's chaplain, and who, by-the
way, has written a life of that dis
tinguished man, represented Home
Missions, which was listened to with
intense interest.
Rev. J. P. Boyce represented the
Southern Baptist Theological Semi
nary—a school where preachers are
trained for the work of the gospel
t
1 ministry. It is handsomely endow
ed. and its new buildings are now
i nearing completion in the city of
t Louistiile. Kentucky. It has a large
i number of students, with North Car
olina well represented. Dr. Boyce
. raided on the floor of the Convention
>51,700 for the endowment of anoth-
Professor's chair. He asks North
C . olira Baptists for $5,000 for this
purpose, and they will give it.
The Baptist Orphanage, located at
Tnomasville received due attention,
and £SOO was raised with which to
purchase a printing press for the or
phans.
The Board of Education, which is
aiding a number of young men who
are pursuing a literary course at
Wake Forest, preparatory to the
ministry, reported that they had ex
pended £4,000 in this work during
the year.
It is generally conceded that this
is the best convention held in years.
Durham's hospitality was unbound
ed. It is a stirring city of 8,000 in
habitants. It has a good many
churches. The Baptists themselves
have two strong churches, and will
soon build auother. As was said in
the address of welcome, the name of
Durham knowu where the name
of \\ ashington was never heard,
where Lee and Grant's names are un
known, where the name of our sav
iour has never been proclaimed. A
few years ago it was only a railroad
station.
This report would be incomplete
without saying that Wake Forest
College stands in the front with
about 200 students. And the Bibli
cal recorddr, the might}' agent,
which has contributed so largely to
the development ol North Carolina
Baptists, has a bright future btforo
it. The editor, Dr. Bailey, is wide
awake. The inimitable and irrepres
sible editor of the Herald, of Rich
mond. Ya., was full of work for his
paper, gave liberally, and added
much to the meeting by his charac
teristic speeches. He is certainly a
very versatile brother, and kuows
how to capture au audience. The
Convention was entirely void of stiff
ness, and everyone felt entirely free
and easy to speak if he wished with
out embarrassment. J. M. Mayuard
and the writer were the delegates
from the Hickory Baptist church.
The next s» ssion of the Convention
will be held November, 1888, in
Greensboro.
G. W. GARDNER.
Hickory, N. C., Nov. 21,1887.
Were Tliey "Kdncated?"
All the Anarchists wh«> were
hanged and who still live in
Northern am! Western cities,
were and are educated men ; and
nearly all the forgers tt.e skilled
burglars and professional thieves
and murderers, are educated and
intelligent men. llo.v does t'-at
correspond »ith the idea that
education prevents crime The
fact is, the biggest criminals in
the land ;ire educated people,
while the little chicken-stealing
man is said to be ignorant. All
that is nothing against education
but proves that education is not a
preventative of crime.—Charlotte
I >eniocrat
What is meant by "education?''
Webster says : The bringing up,
asofaehild; instruction ; forma
tion of manners. Educatiqn
comprehends all thai series of in
struction and discipline which is
intended to enlighten the under
standing, correct the temper, and
form the manners and habits ot
youth and lit them for usefulness
in their future stations. To give
children a good education in
manners, arts, and science, is im
portant ; to give them a leligious
education is indispensible, and an
immense responsibility rests on
parents and guardians who neg
lect these duties."
The story books illustrate it
this way:
A. poor hard-working boy was
going along with u t>ag of heanc
on his shouluer. All ol a sudden
the beans burst a hole through
the old bag, and came ratling
down on the tootoath. Several
other boys were close by at the
time of the accident with a veloc
ipede.
One began to stanip on the
beans with Ins heavy boot, and
clear them off the pavemei.t iato
the mud. Another laughed, and
shouted, "Halloa! upset your
apple-cart ?'' Two others scarce
ly noticed the mishap—they were
engaged/vith the velosipede,
A fifth ran to the spot. ' Get
out, you, Joe Marsh ! he cri d to
the boy who was making the ac
cident worse, you n-ean. misera
ble fellow, get out!— I'll help you
to pick them up, Tommy. How
did it happen ? Never mind,
we'll save all «ve can," and he be.-
gan to sjrape up the bean? with
both hands, then to examine the
hole and stop r, and never left
until the bag was sate on Tom
my's back again.
f'l am very much obliged to
yiu," said Tommy with tears in
iJb eyes.
All five ot the boys may have
been learned, but only one was
"educated," That has been our
idea of " education. " For fur
ther information on the subject,
we advise H careful and unpreju
diced reading ol I)r. Mangum'.i
letter published in the Durham
I'lant of O-tober 2oth. The An
archists were pot educated as we
understand the true meaning ot
the word.
He Wanted to Kill Hlniteir.
Vv ashington dispatches narrate
the most horrible attempts at sui -
cide by Henry Grady that we
have ever heard of. lie had been
on a spree and was put in the
Station house on the night of the
13tn instant. About 2 o'clock
other prisoners aroused the keep
er who opened Grady's cell and
found a sickening sight. The
crazy man had tried to sever the
arteries in his wrists by sawing
th>«m on the rough a«ige of an old
tin bucket, uped tor drinking
water. He had t;>ken a piece
of shingle and sharpened one end
and run it between leaders and
bone of his wrist and hoirible as
it may seem had twisted the stick
around his wrist at/ti tore the lea
ders out by tbe roots. This not
not killing him, he took a piece
of broken bottle and slashed it
backward and far ward across his
neck, getting close to thejuguUr
veins when the jailor stopped
him. He was taken to the Coun
ty Infirmary where it was
thought tie would surely die. And
yet some men—even professing
Christian men—vote for and try
to defend the liquor tratiic. How
long, oli, how long will the curse
lie licensed in the la id ?
Movr IM It Done ?
A Washington correspondent
says :
"The expense of living has
greatly increased in Washington,
and the high rents are troubling
many Congressman who have on
ly their salaries to depend upon.
Houses in the fashionable 5 action
rent 'or from SOOO to sli>Qoo a
year, and the £6OO houses are, as
a rule, little ones of six or eight
rooms. Provisions are plenty,
but prices are high, yet many
Congressmen who have 110 visi
ble means of support except their
salaries will get rich."
We have often heard this state
ment. How is it done? Do they
steal it or gamble for it? It must
be one or the other. No North
Carolina Congressman has ever
got ricjh. Are they more honest
than thUsc who "get rich? " Do
we change them before they
'• learn the ropes?" It is certain
a ongressman cannot get rich in
a Jew years on a salary ot §5,000
and pay anything for his living.
If, as is the more probable, we
have sent only honest men to Con
gress, men who neither stole nor
gambled, do we not greatly err
111 not keeping them there until
they can learn to watch the
rogues sent from other sections,
and ke.-p them from getting rich
either by stealing from the Gov
ernment or other dishonest means.
It should be a matter of pride to
every North Carolinian that 110
member of Congress from this
State has got rich.
WAI TAICA'S FIRST NEWSPA
PER.
Tlic Watauga Journal.
(> Watauga's first newspaper,"
has been received. It is a Repub
lican paper, that proposes not to I
be bitter, nor extreme, nor per
aonal, but to rea-on-with men on
political questions, a record we
trust will be rememboi ed.
so says : "It will be otr aim and
pleasure to do all in our humble
power to aid all good citizens,
regardless of politics, in attract
ing capital to our lair corner of
tbe earth, and bring about the
time when the whistle of the lo
comotive shall be beard in these
mountain coves —when the hum
of spindles shall make glad the
little valleys —and when herds of
cattle, sheep, etc., shall give new
life to every mountain side. - '
In these latter ai os we wish the
Journal the moat unbounded suc
cess. Watauga is a blessed land,
and we hope the day is not dis

and the hum of spindles will be

Had Habit.
We often see a peison holding
change for a moment in the mouth,
probably not knowing that investiga
tion has shown that disease srerma
can be carried by money. If one
could see through what hands the
money has passed he would
hesitate before using such a third
hand. Silver money is as bad as
paper money, but whils many would
hesitate to hold a dirty bank note in
their mouth, they think that a sfcver
piece, bscause bright, is apparently
clean.
