If so ease vour conscience by paying the debt. Do not put it off any longer." This applies to every one who have failed to pay us and are behind. Those who pay us up promptly oy the year we havekind recant for and areour only support. Those who do not pay nr.- dragging ua down instead of Imililiii!? ns uo. Let us hear from you. The new Banking system of the President and Secre tary Carlisle sems to meet with general favor and it is now probable that the plan will pass Congress. A new finnnc'.al scheme seems to ! the gnat burden now before the country and will occupy The atteniion of Congress during the present session. The repeal of the tax on Slate banks of issue is recom mended by both President ind Secretary Carlisle, but we doubt whether this tax ;s taken o i or not. This tax ought to be stricken off and let the State bank on their own Capital. 1 his would give us more money and we could reach it better. The News and Observer an swered our enquiry very sat ftfactorily in regard to the late victor in North Caroli na, whether it was a Repub lican or Populist victory We accept the answer of the 'News-Observer' as a true an swer to the enquiry. This is from a Democratic stand point, however, and we will now ask the 'Progressive Farmer and the Morganton 'Populist' to answer and tell us what kind of a victory they are claiming? Is it free silver, the government own ershipof railroads, low tariff, income tax, now on top in North Carolina? Or is it Mc Kinleyism.gold standardism ont'.-suhtreasurism and op position to the income tax? We live up here in the nioun tains away trotn the mam cntres and of coarse we are bound to be behind the news in many things transpiring awar from ua. We are ask ing this information in good faith. We want to know what kind of a victory we have in the old North State, we will then know what part of the drive we are in. Any one w ho has children will rejoice with L. B.

' A d i f.. (i uiu l i,lJ'hi' t.ullt !,u, Coa Lditor Ik'mocrat: I was born and raised in sixty miles of Charlotte an never saw the city till 1 u t t Ihursday. I have been to nearly all the largest cities and towns in our State, an 1 excepting Raleigh and Ashe ville, hive seen nonequalto Charlotte. It is n city of rail roads, lectricstteet cats, wu ter works, chuiches, schools, factories, oil mills, machine shopH, banks newspapers and all kinds of merchandise. Charlotte has some b a r -rooms, bat not so many and so portentous and conspicu ous i some towns and cities but Charlotte has good and clever people-intelligent and refined jteople. It is, indeed, a city of churches. The Conven tion made forty -six appoint ments for Sunday. The See- ord Pret-byterian church e ii tice is the finest I have seen in North Carolina, f h a d thought the First Baptist church in Asheville was the finest, but I give it up. The people of Charlotte know how- to take care of a great relig ious body. They are taking care of the Baptist StateCon vention in splendid order. No doubt each delegate think he has the best home, but I urn sure none has-a more quiet and pleasant home than Bro. J. R. Jones of Mil ton, N. C, and myself at Mr. and Mrs. A. li. Solomen's. They spare no pains to make their guests pleasant arid hap py, and sve will long remem ber kindly this deal fauiily. The Convention convened in Try on St. Baptist church last Thursday night. The an nual sermon was preached by Rev. T. J. Taylor, of Warren ton. and was a good ooe. ... The Convention was organ ized by reelecting Dr. Marh president and N. B. Brough ton and N. B. Cobb Secreta ry. There are about 200 dele gates present with a g o o d sprinkling of visiters, and la dies attending thesessions of the Wo.nan'8 Missionary So cieties. Among the visitors are Dr. Willirigham, Secreta ry of foreign Mission Board, Dr. Tieheror, Cor. Sec. ilome Mission Board, Dr. Bell, Cor. Sec. S. S. Board, and Dr.Ker foot, of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Ex empt the last, all these aro of. fleers of the South rn Bap tist Convention.

A Speight, Atlantic Captist, Va., Bro. C. Durham is happy be cause, for the first time- in a uozeu wr more ; years.. I li e State Mission Board has come to the Convention with out a debt. . He states thwt for all objects the Conven tion has ha contributed o ver $126,000 the past year. That is wonderful for these hard times. Then the Con vention has pledged during the present session, about $11,000; $5,000 to increase. the endowment of Wake For est College, $3,000 for new female college at Raleigh, $2,300 to support a mission ary for five years in Japan and $600 to aid North Caio Una students at theTheoIog ical Seminary.

Morv of th J5pt jst peo;.le ought to attend these meetings, and especially the preaehers. It enlarges ones vie s of men and things and inspiies us with loning& to be better men and better preachers. As we see how oth ers have succeeded, it makes us ashamed that we haven't striven harder to attain t3 greater usefulness. ,'Phen it helps us to get acquainted with our fellow workers, and catch someof tlwir zeal.
