The next session of the Baptist State Convention will be held in tha Blackwell Memorial church of Elizabeth City. Dr. Calvin 3. WaUer, of Aehsvillf, was ap pointed to preach the annual ser mon, of his alternate, Dr. John Jetr Hurt, Durham. The Baptist Convention now in session nre reached its olimax this morning when Dr. Livingston Johnson made his farewell speeoh as corresponding secretary of the convention, reviewing the fifteen years of bis administration and exhorting his brethren to fidelity to God, to HisWcid and tor one auother. If they would do that he deolar d, the future of the de nominal interests in North Caro lina under the leadership of his sicc-sior, Rev. Walter n.

Though per suaded that a cloistered oonvent is the abode of saints, that a mis sionary or other calliug is her des tiny it is human to err, and yet there oan be no release, i.o matter what the aversion, the justifica tion or insatitate desiie of the vio. tim may be. Those withiu R me's prison walls belong to Rome, body and soul, and little hope of release from a calling grind of oppression and coLifiuemeiit is left. This girl has a friend in her mother who will use her last effort to save her daughter from a life of hell.

With an enforced inspection law thia could not be. Angellina Buoellato may be but one of hundreds .who are held against their will, but if she were the only one in that plight, then inspection is justified.

Mr. Editor: Having seen report of the so-called mass-meet ing of the citizens of Spencer, N. u., ana noting tnat my name We mentioned in snob was to leavethe impression that I advo cated the passage ot the resolution mentioned therein, I desire to make a brief statement that his tory may be kept straight. Having heard that Mayor W. U. Barton was going to have a meeting at the school house on the night of December 10, 1915, for the purpose of whitewashing him self as Mayor and Jadsre of the Recorder's court of tbe town of Spenoer, N. 0., I attended as a spectator only, being drawn then by mere cunos:ty. 0 J arrival j found present about thirty ( 1 forty men in one of the claff rooms of the Spencer sohool build ing. The meeting was called to or Jpi by Mr. Burton and was openec with prayer by Mr. Burton. Next Mr. Burton read four or five let ters written by out of town partiet who stated in response to Mr, Bur ton's request that they had bean no oriticum of the Recorder Court of Spenoer previous to the oriticism and recommendation of the Grand Jury at November term of Rowan Superior Court. The next thing on the program was the resolution whioh was vig orously advocated by Mr. Burton. After a painful silenoe of some minutes some one moved the j adoption of tbe resolution, but no oue seemed inolined to vote . Whereupon Mr. Burton stated that he had secured legal advice and that no one would lay them selves liable in voting for his re solution. Being thus encouraged, about eight cr ten hesitatinelv voted "aye." All others seemed to be present as spectators only. There was no discussion of the re solution or the causes leading Mr. Burton to think such aotion i """i uti poeuu ui ar. i MAMA & Bh K mm I Dartoa. I Scroll discussion as was engaged! in by any of the citizens presaut was provosea Dy sue iniquity oi las J. B. Donevant, who stated that, I in his opinion, before denaite ao- tion should be taken it should be ascertained just what information led the Grand Jury to make the criticism and recommendation complained of by Mr. Burton : Mr. Donevant here suggested that a committee of three be appointed to obtain this neoessary inform tion. This aotion was diBOonrag ed by Mr. Burton. Being called upon by some one present, I made a very brief talk iu which I Quoted from memory a letter written to Solicitor HaV- J den Clement, on November 15th, 1915, requesting him to have Dr E. T. Carter, pastor of the First Baptist ohuroh of Spencer, N. C, testify before the Grand Jury. Immediately, Mr. Burton, be ing oornered, confessed that he was the author of the letter men tioned and made a few remarks seeking to justify himself. I. J. McAdams next oame to the bat and made the home run of the evening. Mr. McAdams spoke concerning the charge that the law was not impartially en forced in Spencer, He reminded Mayor Burton of being with him on Sunday afternoon about two weeks previous, near the Y. M.

Some of the dinosaurs were the largest land animals that ever walked the earth, end some were very diminutive. They differed greatly in size, shape, structure, and habits, Seme w re plant eaters ; others f dd on flesh. Some walked on four feet; others with small weak fore limb walked entirely upon the stronglj developed hind legs, Some hao reptile-like feet ; others were bird footed. Some bad toes provided with, long, sharp claws; other uad flatened. hoof-like nails. ('here were dinosaurs with small aeade, and others with large heads. iume were large and cumbersome; xuera were small, light and grace ui aud so much resembled birdt j their structure that only tbt skilled anatomist can distinguish hoir remains. Some of enormous iize were olad in coats of bony irmor, whioh gave them a most oizarre appearauoe. The largest herbivorous o i planteating dinosaur whose fossil remains have been found in Como Bluff was the huge brontosaurus, or'thunder lizrard, as it was called by Prof . Marsi. It was 70 feet ong, stood 16 feet high at the hipi, and had a long tail, an equally long neck, and a bead that was only a little larger than that of a horse. The weights f such a creature has been variously esti mated at 18 to 20 tons.
