The subject; of the Greenville ma
morial church debt was; tbsn taken
up and this, the greatest burden and
the one laying heaviest upolf the con
vention, was Isfted from! its should
ers. Pledges due April 1st, 1880,
sufficient to pay the debt, were made.
This includes the amounts which will
be arranged by Dr. Hufham.
Dr. C. E. Taylor led in prayer and
"Jesus Lover of my Soul" was sung
with great feeling.
This was a great day in convention
history.
The report on obituaries was read
by the chairman of the committee and
was adopted a beautiful report.
The Hon. G. W. Sanderlin read the
report of the committee to appoint
the Board of Education.
Tbe report on Sunday School Sup
ply Store was then read and the sub
ject of Sunday School Associations
and Conventions was discussed by
Bev. O. Durham, N. Bj Bronghton
and Hon. John O. Scarboro.
Dr. Hufham spake adversely to the
subject. j
Dr. T. H. Pri'.chard offered a reso
lution of thanks to the jgood people
of Greensboro for their kind hos
pitality to tbe delegates and visitors
to the convention and thanks to the
railroads for kindness to us. Speak
ing to the resolution, he said he re
membered no more pleasant or suc
cessful session of the convention or
one that had ever taken greater steps
for work in the future. He felt thank
ful that he had been permitted to at
tend such a session of the Baptist
people of the State. It does us good
to meet in these conventions. We
get inspiration for better, greater and
nobler work.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted. j
Dr. C. A. liommger read the report
of the finance committee, which was
adopted. I I
After announcements, !(he conven
tion adjourned to meei at night. Bev.
Mr. Taylor, of Warrenton, led in

cording to arrangement was uenerai
Education. Prof. F. P. Hobgood of
fered a resolution in-regard to Wake
Forest College, recommending that
$50,000 additional endowment be
raised at as early a time as possible.
Dr. J. Wm. Jones addressed the
convention!. Said he came very near
being elected president bf a female
college once because the people could
not hnd anybody else. He had known
ake Forest for a long! time. He
rejoiced at j the prosperity of the fe
male colleges of the bta'e But we
should consider nothing accomplished
while so much remains to , be done.
Dr. Jones made a strong speech urg
ing parents to educate their children
"but, boys, if your parents can t edu
cate you, educate yourselves, he said.
Dr. Thos. E. Skinner then spoke to
the subjest. He is a Btriong believer
in the providence of God. We shall
see that the things which we now
think were originated by men were
really originated by God. Every
man's life has a plan in it. God made
all men with a specific j purpose for
each man. ;
He gave some of his early experi
ence at Wake Forest College much
to the delight of the audience. Wake
Forest College has not culminated
It is just going up the hill, and the
day will be when Wake Forest will
be known throughout the world, mat
institution will never die. The cause
of its advancement is perhaps due to
the fact of its religious power.
Dr. Skinner made one Of the matter
efforts of his life. In his style of
fun he went on, but now and then in
the most forcible manner he planted
truths, great truths, in the hearts of
the Baptist people, that will never be
forgotten, in regard to Wake Forest
College. 1
Bev. Mr. Oars well, of Atlanta, then
addressed the body, an made a very
forcible speech, treating principally
religious education.
The report of the committee was
then adopted.

Indianapoli, Iud , Nov. 19' The
desire of the delegates to the Gen
eral Assembly of the Knights of Lv
bor to continue Mr. Powderly as their
chief has been expressed to him
formally. Seven delegates who
represent tbe Canadian assemblies,
called on him and asked him to accept
the office once more. He gave them
to understand that he would do so
providing he could choose his own
advisors on the .general executive
board. Everything indicates that be
will be given his wish' and there is
now only a difference of opinion re
garding the way it shall be
done. Under any circumstances
Mr. Powderly will undoubtedly
continue in office and will
choose hisown cabinet. Canada wants
to be represented on the general ex
ecutive, board. The South has the
like desire, and a movement is on foot
looking to the selection ot some rep
resentative business man.
The British Parliament.
Br Cable to the News and Observer.
London, Nov. 19. In the House of
Commons this evening Mr. Madden,
Solicitor General for Ireland, in the
absence of Mr. Balfour, who is ill,
brought in a bill to further facilitate
the purchase by the tenants of the
land in Ireland by dding 5,000,000
to the amount applicable under tbe
Ashbourne act Mr. Madden de
scribed the Ashbourne act as a great
Buoceas. There had been, he said,
14.338 signed agreements for the pur
chase of land, of which 8,632 bad
been completed There were only
two courses open to the government.
One was to abandon the scheme of
the land purchase, and the other was
to extend the act. The fact that the
act had been a conspicuous success,
justified the government in seeking
to enlarge its operations.
When Mr. Madden had finished, Mr
Gladstone arose and was received
with prolonged cheers from the oppo
sition.
Mr. Gladstone moved the following
amendment to the government pro
posal: "That in lieu of voting 5,000,-
000 it is expedient in view of the
lamentable sufferings arising from
the recent evictions in Ireland to ex
tend the land law of 1887 so as to
emDOwer tne courts to reduce or
cancel arrears of rents that are found
to be excessive." He complained tbat
the government had, broken its
pledge to the House after obtaining
tbe whole command of the time at the
disDOsal of the members under en
gagement that no controversial meat
urea should be introduced. Here
was a bill of the first importance
challenging diecussion. It was sub
mitted with the threat that it
would be out forward daily until it
was settled. His protest was equally
against the mcde of presenting the bill
and the method in which its discus
sion was to be pressed. His amend
ment did not strike at the Ashbourne
act nor would it necessarily stop its
operation. He did not desire to stop
the operation of the act whatever he
mierht consider its dangers, and he did
not oppose the bill because it pro
posed to keep the act alive, but he
obi acted to it because of the amount
demanded.

West Virginia.
The official returns from West Yir
ginia are sufficiently ascertained to
warrant the announcement of the
election of Judge A. B. Fleming, the
Democratic candidate for Governor,
bv a small but sure majority; the rest
of the State ticket being elected by
larger majorities. The legislature
will stand on joint ballot forty-six
democrats, forty four republicans and
oce labor-union independent. The
democratic Presidential ticket is
elected by about 1,000 majority.
The republicans concentrated all their
efforts and resources iu the personal
contest of Gen. Goff for Governor
and Jo secure a majori'y in tbe legis
lature, in which event he would have
been elected to the United States
Senate. Therefore the close contest
in West Virginia has been upon the
Governor and legislative tickets. So
makes formal announcement Mr. T.
S. Riley, chairman Democratic State
committee.
