Hooray for politics! That gives me
another paragraph. Seriously, though,
the elections this week were a sur
prise and a shock to many people. In
New York, in the most exciting may
oralty campaign in years, the dapper
Jimmy Walker, New York’s sophisti
cated mayor, won in a walk by near
ly 600,000 majority over his nearest
competitor. From all the returns it
would appear that the “solid South ,
is still solid. Although broken by the
rush of the anti-Smith men last Nov
ember the prodigals returned to the
Democratic fold and voted over
whelmingly for the regular Democrat
ic candidate, a staunch Smith sup
porter. Oh, well. ,
Incidentally both the principals in
Virginia’s race were college profes
sors, something rather odd in this day
of practical politicians.

It seems that this would probably be
a good thing for Mars Hill to have
with such a need of finance and aid
as it has at the present time.

At Catawba college, a modern lang
uage fraternity has been organized
under the auspices of the Modern
Language department. This frater
nity has at its disposal a corner in
the Pioneer, school paper. All the
write-up ■ is ■ written in French. The
reporter, it seems, must have a better
knowledge of the language than the
president. Anyway, the fraternity
news story is very interesting even if
one does have to have about three
French dictionaries to help him read
it.

The members of the Spotlight staff
of Kernersville High school (N.C.)
have been provided with a spacious
room with tables and files, in which
the Spotlight articles can be written
without having to go through so many
hands before reaching the editor.
This would be a good thing for Mars
Hill to have for its Hilltop. Although
a room has been assigpied to the Hill
top, meetings of the staff cannot meet
in it because of its lack of space.

DR. JOHN W. BAIRD
In the passing of Dr. John W.
Baird last Thursday morning Mars
Hill College and community, Madison
county, and the medical profes^on
sustain an overwhelming loss. Ihe
son of Dr. J. H. Baird, of hallowed
memory, who ministered so long and
faithfully in and around Mars Hill,
“Doctor John” was a worthy success
or to his father.
After finishing Mars Hill as a m«re
boy, he attended Tennessee Medical
College where he graduated with hon
ors, including a scFolarship to Berhn
which he did not accept receiving his
M.D. degree before he was 21. After
graduation Dr. Baird devoted his gen
ius and excellent medical training to
a practice in his own beloved bigu-
lands. Possessing unusual medical
skill and a heart of sympathy for all
who needed him, Doctor John gave
himself unstintingly to the wealthy
and poor alike. No home was too
humblG or night too dark for
when suffering called him forth; he
was always ready with his skill, ad-
■ 3, and kindly sympathy.

ll. S. U. CONVENTION ONE OF
INSPIRATION - INSTRUCTION
(Continued from Page 1)
Wake Forest college presented mu
sic and then Charles Maddry, another
former Mars Hill man, and president
of the state B. S. U., made a retro
spective report on the college situa
tion. He gave a glimpse of the B. S. |
U. of the past and looked ahead and
gave a glimpse of the hopes of the B
S. U. of the future.
The feature speach of the evening
was made by Hon. Pat Neff, former
governor of Texas and one of the
outstanding Baptist leaders in the
South. Neff emphasized a Christian
life centered around Christ as the
center of all student as well as bus
iness life. It was a forceful speech
delivered by a man who has had
much experience in Christian work.
On Saturday the convention got in
to full swing, the morning session
beginning at 8:45. Again Dr. Turner
gave one of his sermonettes, and then
came the first student reports and re
flections. Following these reports
and reflections came a short open
forum discussion presided over by
Miss Cleo Mitchell.
The principal sermon of the morn
ing session was then delivered by Rev.
E. M. Poteat, pastor of Pullen Mem
orial church, Raleigh. Dr. Poteat s
subject was “Squaring the Modern
Social Life with Abiding Christian
I Principals.”
In the afternoon there were more
student reflections, and personal ex
periences were related. E. M. Ixson-
ard, from Mars Hill, made a talk on
“My Experience in Tithing.”
Rev. Charles Howard made a very
fine address as the closing feature
when he spoke on “The Master s Min
ority in the Crusades of Today.” Mr.
Howard will be remembered as pres
ident of the State. B. Y. P. U. Con
vention.
Saturday evening the feature was
the address of Dr. F. P. Gaines, pres
ident of Wake Forest. It was a splen
did address and was well received by
the entire congregation of 500 per
sons. Many citizens of the city at
tended the service.
At 6:45 Sunday morning an early
prayer service was held, and was
most impressive. It was featured by
a short talk by James A. Ivey. The
Sunday meeting was held and the
business meeting was entered into.
The nominating committee made a
I'eport and Lucile Knight was nomi
nated and elected president for the
coming year. Miss Knight is a stu
dent at N. C. C. W. and is prom
inent in the religious affairs of that
school. Edd Fox, of Mars Hill col-
address on the subject, “The Con
quest of Southern Baptists Through
the Co-operative Program.”
Alma Dark, a former Mars Hill
girl, and now at Meredith college,
sang, and then the final sermon of
the convention was delivered. It was
delivered by Dr. John L. Hifi, of
Nashville, Tennessee. Dr. Hill is
prominently connected with all pub
lications of the Baptist Sunday
School Board and is considered one
of the most outstanding of all South
ern Baptist leaders. Dr. Hill brought
a forceful message on “Missions —
the Compelling Power of the Chris
tian Life.”
The assembly was conducted m a
prayer of dismissal by Dr. Charles E.
