(Special Star Correspondence.) Atkinson, N. C, Oct. 13. This has been another busy and helpful day for the Baptists of the Wilmington Association assembled here. Last night the special order was the mis sionary sermon, which was preached by Rev. O. P. Meeks, of Fayetteville, and it was a . very strong discourse based upon the parable of the prodigal son. This morning the Association was led in a devotional service: by Rev. O. L. Stringfield, of South Carolina. The first order was the report of the Exec utive Board' which was read by G. E. Leftwich and discussed by the reader and by Rev. W. L. Britt, J. T. Bland, Esq., and others. The report recom mended the formation of- fields con sisting of adjacent1 churches and lo cate on them the same'jpastor; to et feet this the moderator was ' empow ered to appoint a committee on pas toral fields. Rev. A. L. Betts spoke on the merits of the Biblical Recorder. The next order was the Thomasville Orphanage, which report was read by Rev. C. F. Whitlock and spoken upon by S. H. Averitt, of Thomasville. ' The orphanage now has 390 children to care for, who are ' supported largely by a monthly contribution from the churches of the State and a yearly thanksgiving offering.

The. next order Was Foreign Mis sions and the report ' was read and ably discussed by Dr. Foster, the new pastor of the First church of Wilming ton. He was ' followed in' a stirring speech by Rev. W.

Newton and others. -.:.- ; "Butja short time ago. the ; citizens 6t 'rvedUeehy?ir4Tge anaScwv ity "of qualified Tbtes passed a'Btrong prohibTtionMaw4 and the saloons and breweries were put out of commission by the strong arm of the law and the wicked and "corrupt men who for years had corrupted the politics and de bauched the morals of the State were reminded of the fact that they must cease business -in our State- for the saloon could no longer be tolerated by a patient and long suffering people. "The victory gained at the polls was indeed a. grand victory when we re member the desperate efforts and cor rupt methods used by the whiskey men to defeat the wishes of the best element of people In the State. The battle has been fought and the vic tory won. but the fight is not yet over and anything now like apathy or in difference will sooner or later rob us of the grand, results of a splendid vic tory. The question is asked in Holy Writ, can the Ethiopian change his color or the leopard his spots? We all know the answer to this question and when we ask the question has the prohbition law changed the attitude of our former enemies with reference to civic righteousness and sound morals? there is but1 one .reply to the question end the answer Is the sad fact that blind tigers and near-beer saloans are in full blast in many nortions of our prohibition territory. These are facts and facts are stubborn things and' if the eyes of our people are not blind, tbey must recognize the fact that the whiskey men and their friends are just as insolent and lawless as men can be and are determined to demon strate the fact that prohibition does not prohibit. Right here in the State of North Carolina, they are working day and night to make the prohibition law null and void and restore the sa loons. The time has come when we must assert our Christian manhood and crush out with terrific blows the lawless spirit which would establish blind tigers and near-beer saloons un der the very shadow of our. Christian homes and churches. 'And we append the following resolutions to this' re port: "Resolved, first, that we pledge ourselves as the churches of the Wil- fmington Baptist Association to do everything in our power to uphold and maintain the State prohibition law which is now upon the statute books of North Carolina. "Resolved, 2nd, that we con dentin in the most vigorous manner the ship ment of intoxicating liquors into our State and counties and that we also condemn and. repudiate the advertise ments of whiskey in the papers upon which we as citizens bestow a liberal patronage., ... "Resolved, 3rd, that as brave and heroic Christians, we do everything in our power to destroy the biind tig ers and near-beer saloons . which are doing the same damage as did the old fashi6ned saloon." - FROST IN COTTON BELT.
