- i-1- ; '.THE TAB HEEL; FRIDAY; DECEMBER 19, 1902 -' J - ... ' -- - - - - -Raleigh, : N. December zA Tire Baptist State Convention at Durham, adjourned last evening after a most In teresting1 farewell session. In these ex ercises the First Baptist; Church - c Durham ; gave Its parting blessing to Rev. Dr. W. C. Tyree, who will assume the position of pastor of the First Bap tist Church here next Wednesday, and will preach his first sermon to his new will meet next year in Charlotte. Cor-' responding Secretary Johnson said that one hundred Baptist missionaries were at work under the convention in this 'State. He spoke of one layman, H. C. Bridgers, in the little village of BlSden boro, who gave ?600 a year to support a missionary. The work of the Sunday school department under' Rev. T. NeiU Johnson was endorsed and an appropri ation of $1100. made for this year. It was decided to urge the claims for cer tain improvements at Wake Forest Col lege. On this subject Rev. J. W. Lynch made one of the, greatest speeches of the meeting. He told of some "of the .great work accomplished by the alumni of the eallege and remarked that he went to college with Bob Rigsbee and Ed. Cheek,"and they were not, saints, but he rejoiced to find them now pillars in the Durham church. , A resolution was passed conveying to the" Baptists of Great Britain and other non -conformists there sympathy in their re sistance to the educational bill in Par liament. Resolutions were passed against the liquor traffic and calling for efforts for local legislation wherever a saloon existed. Rev. J. A. Oates called attention to the fact that half the distilleries of the United States were in North Carolina, q One of the most interesting reports to be considered at the coming session of the Legislature . will be -the recom mendations of State Labor Com missioner Varner. These recommenda tions may be thus -summarized: (1 That no child under 12 years old be permitted to work in a factory unless a widowed mother or totally disabled father is dependent on the child; that fio child under 10 shall be employed in ,. a, factory; that no child between 12 and 14 be employed unless he or she can read and write. (2) That no child un der 14 shall work between 7 p. zn. and 6 a. m.J (3) That school districts, town ships and counties be permitted - to adopt compulsosy education , by a ma jority vote at a special election. (4). That eleven hours shall constitute a maximum day's work. The commis sioner would also like a law imposing a severe penalty on the father who puts his children in the factory and squan ders their earnings in drinking and carousing. There is no doubt but what some legislation will be passed on some of these matters at the approaching session, and the recommendations are now-made public so that the problems can be intelligently discussed. . , According to the examination of ex rSenator Marion Butler in the ,-South Dakota suit at Washington Saturday it seems that Butler and Senator Petti grew originated -' the idea of J South Dakota bringing this action. Pettigrew said that South Dakota University needed funds, and Butler said that he thought that he could secure a dona tion. He then had the owners of the bonds in New York to 'give the univea sity several, and in-this way the action was taken into - the United .States Supreme Court. The convention of 'tobacco growers called by President . John S. Cuning- ham to meet in Rocky Mount next Friday is of greater interest because of the fact that the price of tobacco shows & decline. For several weeks the weed iias been going down, aih d some grades are now $2 a hundred lower than at the first of the season. Fortunately most of the veed was marketed .as fast as it was cured and the selling season is about over in this State.- ., 2 Messrs. J. G. Brown, Hei0 Young and I. T. Jones, of Raleigh, were wit nesses to the will of the Rev.. W. C. Norman. Messrs. Brown and Young have been to Durham and proven the will, which was probated there. , Mr. Norman made Mrs. Norman executrix and beneficiary. It is reported that Mr. Norman had $3000 insurance "and some other property amounting - to something like $5000 or $6000. , The Blades Lumber Company, of New Bern,, was incorporated to-day with $150,000 capital. The incorporators are W. B. Blades, of New Bern; C. G. Blades, of Philadelphia, and J. B., L. S. and L. C. Blades, of Elizabeth -City. i .'' --v;;-- '' The Eli Gurganus Company," to deal in general merchandise at Wllliamston, was incorporated with $6000 capital to- The announcement that Judge Pur nell asks the removal of Assistant Dis trict Attorney Oscar Speaks was not a great surprise here. The Judge regard ed Mr. Speaks' manner in examining i : witness at the recent term and -his reply to the Judge when corrected as border ing on contempt' of court. - It is said that Judge E. W. Timberlake or J. A. Cues may. be appointed in his place. If Senator Pritchard takes the new Federal Judgeship there is some specu lation as to his successor as " State Chairman Among those mentioned are Collector E. C.j Duncan and Con gressman Blackburn. The superiority of the former is generally admitted. Another accident from an unloaded gun happened in Rutherford when the nine-year-old son of A. D. K Wallace, formerly clerk in the Secretary " of State's office, accidentally shot and ' Killed his fourteen-year-old brother.. Collector Duncan appoints John B. Koonce as clerk to .succeed I. M. ba ton, promoted to chief clerk, tut, -v. C. Downing, of Cumberland, .vn Koonce's former place. ' v President Hanes, f : th Wiuston Salem Chamber of Commewe, has ad dressed a letter to the chamben of the State in which he suggests a meeting of business men .from the different cities in the near future to discuss rail road discrimination in .rates and for mulate their grievances. Charlotte went to great expense in collecting evidence "0n this - point' and laid ' the same' before the national railroad commis sion. A leading member of; the Mer t rfants' Association of this city, has jested that the next Legislature be 'H to appoint a committee to col ' r : evidence r - the eubjert.
