UREENSBURO, X. (’., Dec. 7. (Edi torial Correspondence.) —1 promised yesterday, in speaking of the promi nent visitors friyn other States to the convention, to say something of the prominent North Carolinians here. It. is a task too great to be entered upon in the compass of one newspaper ar ticle and 1 shall have to postpone it. In his opening sermon Dr. Simms, of tMfe Raleigh Baptist Tabernacle church, eloquent in talking of the old time preachers who were gladly heard by acres of people, and bemoaned the lack of strong and able men iifcthe country places in this year of grace. “Where,” asked the doctor, "in this generation will you find men to take the place of Patrick Dowd, W. M. Win gate and the other giants of those days?” As he said this Prof. Ilobgood whispered: “He will find dozens now for’ one in the day that these men lived.” “Yes," said Prof. Gore, of the University, “where there was one strong man then there are many now.” There is no doubt about the intellect ual greatness of those giants, but they were few in numbers, and their co lie v. J. It. doom:. Superintendent of Thomasville Baptist. Orphanage. adjutois were men of stub poor pre paration und small .ability that the old-time preachers we hear so much about seemed in most instances bigger than they really were. When there are half a dozen eloquent men in a company of one hundred, you help those men to grow bigger than when you have twenty-five. They si and out so conspicuously that everybody hears of them, and besides their reputation is mainly confined to recollections of those who have heard them, and that tends to exaggeration as the memory becomes dim and as the narrator grows old. Patrick Dowd and Dr. Wingate would have been great in any age, but most of whatvwe hear of other great divines of “before the war.” particularly when used in contrast with those of to-day, must be taken w ith some grains of al lowance. In the old times, too, the preachers did nothing but preach. They were s< Idom what we call pas tors, aud did not have to give most ot their time to other woik than prepar ing sermons. Ihe old system tended to make bigger sermons, but it built few churches ami parsonages, sent few missionaries into the home or for eign fi« Ids. and failed to organize the working forces of the church. The old men did their work with sig nal success in their day and genera tion, passed away and were gathered to their fathers. 'There are now a few left, those upon whose bends have fall the snow that never melts, who are connecting links In-tween the old times and the new. Last night I hapitem-d to be sitting in a little group under the “drippings of the pulpit’ with three gentlemen who are the fathers of the Convention, men who. though old in point of service, have young hearts and ready hands. Mr. Peyton A. Dunn, ol Wake Forest, a prominent layman and successful business man. first attended a Baptist State Convention in 1840. and he has been a pretty regular attendant ever since. The younger men always greet him gladly and with respect. Most of them have known him as stu dents at Wake l-'orest, and feel that he is almost a part of their Alma Mater. The two other men in the group were Dr. Pritchard, of Charlotte, ami Dr. llufham, temporarily of Shelby, but "walking delegate" for the whole Bap tist denomination the State over. Dr. Pritchard joined the Convention in 184',), and, except for a few years when he was pastor in another State, has never failed to be present at the annual Conventions. 1 heard a Meth odist preacher say not long ago: "1 do not know anywhere a man who is more zealous ami who is building up his church more than Dr. Pritehard.” Dr. llufham has not missed attend ing but one Convention in forty years. He is the bishop, if Baptists had bish ops, of the denomination. He never sits down. He walks up and clown the aisles, shaking hands with this brother and that sister, making a short speech in his own inimitable way whenever he feels like it. feeling deep concern in everything and kindly interest in everybody. From this habit, he has come to be known as “the walking del egate.” and my prayer is that he may j long live to set us all an example of a • godly walk as well ns a godly convor j sat ion! j To-day some- of the delegates went to Thomasville to see tlu- Orphanage : and the orphans, and were w ell pleased with all that they saw and heard. Mr. Boone is moving matters along well, and the Convention pledges him hearty ! eo-operation. ORPHANAGE AT THOMASVILLE. The North Carolina Baptist Orphav.- .ge Association was organized in the lfstor’s study cf the First Baptist church of Raleigh. N. ('., on the 15th of November, 1884. The same year the Mitchell dwelling was erected by Dr. John Mitchell. The first annual meet ing was held on the grounds of t he or phanage near Thomasville on the sth of August, 1885. The first orphans registered Nov. lltli of the same year. It owed its origin to the great heart and big brain of J. H. Mills, who con ceived the idea of building the Orphan age and who built it. His strong and sunny face are missed from this con vention, and the lack of his words of wit and wisdom, his touching talk about the Orphanage,-—this is the one great, lack of the convention. With Pritchard and llufham here, repre senting the Old Guard, the absence of Jack Mills is a positive loss felt by every one, particularly those who have been in closest touch with tin-orphans. May he live long in the land where Ju lias wrought so unselfishly, so labor iously, so noble, lie has builded in the lives of the young people he has train ed and in all good people a monument that will stand as long as men honor unselfish devotion to the weak. His successor who is here has taken up tin work with zeal, and all friends ot tin orphan work bid him God-t-qieed. In 1889 the charter was amended and the name of the institution was chang ed from the North Carolina Baptist Orphanage Association to the North Carolina Baptist Orphanage. The property of the orphanage con sists of 309 acres of land about half of which has been cleared and is now in cultivation, lying west of the town of Thomasville on the Southern Railway, and the following buildings-. The Biggs Building (dwelling and eating house) paid for by Noah Biggs. The Mitchell dwelling, paid for by Dr. John Mitchell; the Mitchell eating house, paid for by W. \V. Mitchell. The Watson Building . paid for by John Watson. The Durham dwelling* paid for by the First Baptist church of Durham. The eating house paid for by the Mt. Zion Association. The Lea ehtijM-l 24x36, built by “Grand Mother" Lea. as she was loving ly called, and is used for preaching, Sunday School and other religous ser vices. The Infirmary, 50x100 feet, built by Mrs. l{. i). Fleming; The Nursery, built by Dennis Simmons, having * rooms and combining dwelling and eating house. The Lassiter building erected by J. If. Lassiter and containing the Genera! Manager’s and editor’s offices, a provis ion room and a library. The Miller building erected by Miss Fannie Miller; and the bathing house by Miss ('. C. Lilly. All these buildings are of brief: and well adapted for the purposes for which they were intended. Five of tla-s-- arc uooi buildings. There are five teachers, four of whom are females, the other is treasurer of rphunnge. There are five ma trons. The school session is from 8 a. in., till 12:15 p. in., at 2 I’elock the children are required to |m*i form man ual labor with the same regularity and energy that they pursue their studies. The register shows the names of .478 children received into tie- orphanage up to the present Gun*. !h'i» are now J2O children there. Mr. Jno. 11. Mills was General Manager of tin* in stitution from its organization up to the last annual meeting. Rev. J. I!. Boone was chosen to succeed Mr. Mills at that time. Mr. Boone is admirably adapted by nature and by experience to the work before him. lb- has had children and youth under his control for the greater part of his life. He is an amiable, disci ref. cultivated aud just man He is fearless, but not in flexible, and knows exact I\ how to omper justice with mercy. The family of tin* genet al manager reside on the orphanage grounds, and the influence of Mrs. P.ooue constantly exerted upon the children all around her is most wholesom* and happy.

The weather was cool but the sun’s rays tempered tiie atmos phere, leaving just enough chill to prove invigorating to soldiers and sightseers. The troops of the Fourth and Fifth regiments, naval reserves etc., formed into line at 10:30 o’clock and marched to the grounds escorted by the Gate City Guards. On arriving at the Ex position they were reviewed by Gov ernor Brown and staff from the music stand, opposite the Pennsylvania build in S’- The day’s exercises tit the auditor ium began at noon. Rev.

"From the banks of the Rio Grande to the shores of the Chesapeake we stand us one and in whatever is for our nyiteiigl interests. It is true we may locally .be attracted momentarily by glittering magnets, but as the needle to the pole, when the fluctuations are over, we return to our bearings and are again the solid South. The same blood courses through our veins; the same spirit moves us, and the same love of country and its institutions will ever guide us in what ever is best for this American conti nent of ours as guided our forefathers when they resisted all attempts to in fringe upon their rights as free Amer ican citizens. “And let rue say to the sons of the South, that the pulse of the people of Maryland, whilst ever the blood of their ancestors holds its vitality will ever respond to whatever interest her sister States of the South may have, that would assist in the least in furth ering the interests of our common country'. “Aud now in closing, let me say: some of the people of Maryland have in tlje past stood shoulder to shoulder with the gallant sons of Georgia on the field of battle; some are now resting side by side in hallowed and sacred grounds, some are here to-day to join hands with you in fellowship and with one accord we all proclaim, one God, one country, one flag and one people.” Mayor Hooper, of Baltimore follow ed in a felicitous address. The exercises were attended by sev eral thousand Marylanders and by crowds of Georgians. who joined in tin sent intent of the day with great en thusiasm. TO t A PTC RE TIIE CONVENTION. CHICAGO.

THE REBELLION IS NOT BROKEN The M»»««*h of tiie Cubitus Fader Gen. Mite. •» m it Gen. Gomez Through the Province of Snnta Clara and the Spanish Troop- ’ «ar Caused Gtcat fxciGmeut tu Huva-ia Last Night-.the Insurgents and their Friends Highly Ela ed HAVANA. Dec. 7.—ln spite of the reported defeats of Maximo Gomez and Antonio Maeeo by General Juatez Valdez, General Navarro and General Aldeeoa, the latter being understood to be in pursuit of the insurgents who were believed to be caught between the columns of troops commanded by these generals and that of General Aldave, it is now stated that Gomez and Maeeo, having united their forces, instead of being in fight in the prov ince of Puerto Principe, are advancing through the province of Santa Clara. General Aldave, as already cabled, was said to be in pursuit of the insurgents after they had turned his flank and crossed the line between Ciego de Avila and Moron, in the province of Puerto Principe, on their way to Santa Clara. Maeeo and Gomez, it is now stated, have already passed the road from fgtiara, on the frontier, to Taguasco, a little north of Santi Spiritus. This news would seem to be correct if only from the fact that the column of troops commanded by Colonel Se gura, conveying 200 mules loaded with ammunition and provisions, seems to have had a brush with the enemy near Iguara, the result of which was to drive the Spaniard into Iguara, with the loss, it is claimed, of only nine killed. But it is admitted that the Spanish troops iiud to fight desperate ly in order to escape being captured, and soon afterwards the insurgents were divided into two corps, one marching in the direction of the Item edios district and the other heading southward towards the Trinidad dis trict. From this it would set-in that the Spaniards must have either evacu ated Santi Spiritus or else their force of troops there is so insignificant that the . insurgent commanders have no hesitation in leaving it in their rear, although it may he reinforced later by the column commanded by Genera! Aldave. Th s<- movements of the insurgents throw an entirely different light upon the campaign in Culm, and if correctly reported, would indicate that the Spaniards have been unable to prevent the advance of the enemy from the province of Puerto Principe into the province of Santa Clara, and that the combined armies of Gomez and Maeeo are strong enough to enable them to Ik* divided into two corps, which are advancing into the heart of the dis trict where General Campos has made his headqarters and where about 4,901) Spanish troops are reported to have been assembled. This view of the ease is all the more noteworthy from the fact that only th s morning it was officially stated here that the friends of the insurgents who were expecting Gomez and Maeeo to move rapidly upon tin* province of Santa Clara, and later, upon the pro vince of Matanzas. which would bring them dangerously near heaven, have been disappointed at their failure to do so and the reported defeats of Ihe insurgents, classed as having been due their “shameful and cowardly be havior.” were said to have demoralized them and it was stated further that the Spanish officials considered the rebellion to be morally broken. These rapid movements of the insurgents, their friends hoped they would accom plish ‘’before the arrival of reinforce ments of troops,” now seem to have ac tually taken place and therefore, the rebellion, instead of being broken, looks as if it was making rapid pro gress in spite of the efforts of the Spanish government. Only this morning, however, tin*sup porters of the government were so hopeful of the s|»eedy suppression of, tlu* insurrection that it vvasannouneed that they were expecting to be aide t-> reap a good sugar crop and that mans of the planters, in view of the icecnl events, were preparing for grinding their sugar earn*. At the same time, it was admitted that the arrival of re-inforeements was imp: t!« ntl.v awaited, and when the steamer Montevideo arrived here from Spain to-day with the Cent rabbi and l’ailou battallions. the soldiers were accorded a most enthusiastic rccep t ion. This is the situation in a nut shell. Tin* insurgents according to the re port received this afternoon, and hav ing practically official confirmation, are advancing in two strong icolunms through the province of Santa Clara, where it may he said nearly the entire effective Spanish force is concentrt ed. This startling news is in eonfiiei with the government advices given out earlier in the day, to the effect tlint the insurgents were in retreat through Ihe province of Puerto Prin cipe. The reported advance of the two columns under Maeeo into Santa Clara and the defeat of tin* Spanish troops near Iguara has caused some excitement in Havana to-night. THE GOI’LD ESTATE EXEMPTED. NEW YORK, Dee. 7.- Justice Rus sell. in the special term of Supreme Court to-day, handed down a decision which exempts from taxation the prop erty of George J. Howard, Edwin and Heien M. Gould, in this county, on the ground that they are non-residents. POURED POISON IN I II F. AA \TER The Sultliine Porte Make* a Serious < harue Against the Armenian*. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—The Turk ish legation received from the Sublime porte the follow ing telegram underto day’s date: “Armenians of Aintnb poured poison in tin- wi{ter used by tin* inhabitants of the city for drinking purposes. The authorities of Kouzitchoy (Erzeroum) have again arrested an Armenian wearing tjhe Mussulman costume with Turban. “A certain number of Armenian rioters disguised as Georgians and armed with Henry-Martini guns at tacked near Sakaedaglii (Sivas) four teen Mussulman travellers, capturing live. The nine others were able to take refuge in a neighboring vHlffge. These brigands also made prisoners eleven Mussulmans including two wo men of the surrounding localities. They slaughtered in the most horrible man ner the nine men after cutting their ears and [Hilling their eyes out and took away with them the two women. This act of cruelty and robbery like all those previouly described could not have been executed by tin* Armenian instigators but with the object of pro voking similar acts on the part of the Mussulman inhabitants againsi the non-Mussulmans and of gaining by this atrocious way the whole public opinion in their favor. Unnecessary to say that the imperial authorities display all their efforts to prevent the repetition of such occurrences.” RIOTER* PLEAD GUILTY. Vi uivrrsury Fxe»clse* ot the M inston- XH'ein V M U.

In the most formal manner the Republican party of Ohio has presented the name of Governor McKinley to the country as Ohio’s choice for the Presidency. This was done at the State convention and spe cifically announced in the State plat form.” Mr. Hanna was asked as to the state ment bv a gentleman named Wood that the name of Senator Sherman would Ik* presented to tin* National Convention. “That is rot, pure and simple,” said Mr. Hanna, “as any one conversant with the action of the Ohio State Convention should know.” FA* TRAIN I ROM CHICAGO W ill Fur-oh l!e**t Service Ever Main* t-«n ril W itii the Soit h.

The pri soner evinced no signs of breaking down, but on the other hand repeated the awful execrations against- his brother Adry which of late have been the only indication that he appreciat ed the seriousness of his position. “Well Hurry,” said the sheriff, as he approached Hayward, “I’ve come to tell you that the governor has signed* your death warrant aud fi\<Tl‘lt. frrr' next Wednesday.” ***•' “That’s a d d long time to waft for a railroad train,” was the prisoner’ll ejaeuation. •* * * “If you’re in the depot It’k a long ’time,” said the sheriff, “but you’re on tin* track for eternity.

"1 Lave not any sympathy, but 1 feel where there ought to be' some.” Here Hay ward began to dictate statement to Jaifor West in regard to (he jail breaking episode and other in eidents fij. jiiis jail life.. The statement is somew hat incoher enf and decidedly bloodthirsty. It starts out: "A short time .is just as good as longer time and I am as ready now as I ever shall be. I had rather be hung than go to Stillwater for life. If the governor would come over here und talk with me, I would tell hint somethings. I’ve had a d—d good time here a-nd I will have a good time yet. I have no kick coming." "They ought to go hack’to the oltl times. People are too soft hearted now. If 1 had Adry here.

On being told that lie had. he said: "I’d have the Dalton ’brothers Bill Cook and Cole Younger, and I’d give them two revolvers apiece.” The statement then takes up the matter of the prisoner’s, projected es c-U|M*. 'The main portion of this reci tal is devoted..to-roasting Ed. Stevens, a local attorney, who, Hayward claims acted the part of a friend in need, and then pJnyecL him false. Hay word claims to have paid Stevens $465 and that Stevens failed to perform what he had promised to do for that sum.
