don't vou pay up for the pa-

it a ju.-t debt? If so ease
vour conscience by paying

every one who have failed to

Those who do not pay nr.-

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.

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

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. One brother
gave a gold watch worth
$125.00. We have three re-

meetings, and especially the
preaehers. It enlarges ones

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. These
meetings help some of us to
