Lumberton, have announced the ap proaching weeding of their daughter, Miss Annie Ruth, to Vinton Fountain. The wedding will take place in thd First Baptist church f Lumberton, Tuesday alternooo, December 10. BY REV. WALTER M. GILMORE. Raleigh, Nov. 30. The Baptist State convention, which was to meet Dec. 3-6, but was postponed o.n account of the influenza situation, will meet in Greensboro Jan. 14-17. This date has been fixed by the officers of the con vention, consisting of JJidge John A. Oates, of Fayetteville, president; Rev. Walter M. Gilmore, of San'ford, record ing secretary; Rev. Walter N. Johnson, of Raleigh, secretary of the board of missions; Dr. R. T. Vann, of Raleigh, secretary of the board of education,-and Dr. M. L. Kesler, of Thomalville, sup erintendent of the orphanage. When it was ascertained that Green boro would not be able to entertain the convention at the time appointed Char lotte very magnanimously offered to take it, but in. deference to Greensboro the committee decided to postpone the convention to a time when it could meet there. This new date .of the meeting of the convention makes more certain the completion of the million-dollar cam paign for the Baptist schools of the state by that time. This is the. big objective now before 1 the convention. Perhaps never before were the Baptist people of the state so aroused over any question. In. many churches through out the state, in the cities and in the country places, an intensive drive will be put on timorrow. A cablegram ..just received from Shanghai, China, sent by Eugene Tur ner, a Wake Forest boy, shows how far-reaching is this campaign. ..The cablegram states that 18 missionaries are sending a substantial offering to the million-dollar fund. This incident calls to mind; that notable statement of Adoniram Judson the great mis sionary, after more than a third of a century in Burma. He s'aid, "If I' had a thousand dollars to- give away I would give it to a Christian college in Amercia; where in building Christian character and in trairttag young men and women for service, you are raising the seed corn of the earth." ONLY 200 TROOPS ARE LEFT AT CAMP POLK 3,800 Others Go To Camp Green To Be Mustered Out Petition- Stirs Capital City. (Special Star Correspondence.) . Raleigh, Nov. 30. Three thousand eight hundred Camp Polk men are to go to Camp Green Sunday or Monday to be. mustered out of ,the service ac cording to announcement just made. This will leaVe only 200 hundred men to check up affairs and close down Gamp Polk "for good and all." It is expected-that it will take a couple of weeks at Camp Green to complete the mustering out .o fthe men. Congressman. Marvin Jones, of Tex as, who has been a private in Camp Polk, has - just gotteii- his honorable discharge in readiness to resume his duties in congress. Denouncing the action- of , a certain group of Raleigh citizens in- signing and sending to Washington a petition for the removal of the tank training camp from" Raleigh, a representative group of Ra'letgh .business men have adopted counter resolutions that de clare such conduct as these: signers guilty of as "highly reprehensible and a gross breach of courtesy and hospi tality." Resolutions declare, that Ra leigh really learns with much regret that Camp Polk is likely to 'be- aban doned and pay the 1 highest tribute' to officers arid men, the behavior of the men being declared to 'toe at all times above criticism.
