Noah fllgge was born in Martin "nutity near Wllllamston. June , 142. When about 18 year of age he ame to Hcotland Nrck and took a position with his brother, the late William Klggs. as clerk, and ha since made this place his home. At the beginning of the civil war he entered the army as a private in the Hcotland Neck Rifles, serving ; through the entire struggle with dis tinction for bravery and gallantry. After the war he returned to Scot land Neck and began business for himself. , For the past half century he has been closely Identified with ' business interests of Halifax coun ty, being connected with soms of the largest and most prominent enter prises In North Carolina." In 1874.-with Ir. It. T. Vann. he helped to begin the first Sunday school ever organized In the Scot land Neck Baptist church, which whool has never misHeil assembling on a single Sunday In all these years, Mr. Higgs missing but very few ses sions of the school.' A year later he jointed the church and was baptized by llev. C. Durham along with the late Captain W. II. Kiti-hln, James t). Phil-Ids. It. I). Uravi and others prominent fn the community. Mr. Hlggs from the very beginning of his Christian career was deeply Interested lnthe broadening of the denomination to Which he had connected himself. He immediately began to establish Suudav -schools In the eastern sec tion, especially In the counties of Halifax. Martin, and Rdjrecombe. Interested in tlui Orplianx. He became Interested In the or phan -children f the NUe, and, with "Dr. II. TJ. Fleming, of Wrrenfon, agi tated the establishment of a Kaptist orphanage which resulted in the great Thomasvllle orphanage which is now caring for more than four hundred clyldrec. He built the tlrst house these, and at his suggestion John Watson, of Warren county, built the second. Thegreat-hearted oitl rzn John H. Mills, who was then pushing the establishment of an or phanage by the liaptist of the State, had about abandoned It as hopeless.

Campaign of Church Building. -About this tlma. he began planning an assiduous campaign of church building- In the Tar - Hirer"-' Associa tion, in co-operation with hla. pastors. first and foremost of whom 'are lr. J.. D, Hufham who now resides with his daughter at Mebatie. T. C, and who has long since retired from the active1 ministry. This campaign re sulted In th. organisation vf some twenty-five, churches and the -building f a, many , bouses of . worship In this section. He also-made -ptMenble the beginning, of the great associa tions! missions operations in his as sociation, which has so increased the Baptist membership of Halifax. Edge combe, and Martin counties that a few years ago the churches of these coun ties organised a - new association, which Is a good deal stronger in every way than the old mother association at the time he became a member of the same. Most Notable) Contribution. His most notable contribution to his denomination In the last year or so. was the erection of a five thousand dollar building on the Kennedy farm near Klnston, which by the .generosity of W. I Kennedy has become the property of the liaptist Orphanage at Thomaaville. This house he named In honor of his wife, Mrs. Mary I. Hlggs. Resides his services on tha odpban- age board, ho was for many years a membe. of the board of trustees of Wake Forest and Meredith coKefes. and was a member of the latter board at the time of his death. The former he resigned a year ago on account of falling health. Never t ailed On In Vain. He filled a place In the ItapliM de nomination In North Carolina and did work that heretofore no other man in the State has done, and it la hard to think of ai.ybody who can carry forward the large religious enter prises that he projected and helped to conduct for so long. If to him call be attributed a deeper Interest In any oife phase of Christian activity more than another It Is the deep and genuine Interest that he took In the orphan children of the State. He was never called on in vain for a coi.trt- : button of his time, talent or money to the Institution at Thomasvtila that he did not respont heartily as if glad to be of service in the great work for which it stood.

Brown, chairman of the Stats of North Carolina, has re turned from Washington, where he atteaded a meeting of the cotton loan fund committee with the chairmen of the committees from the various rot ton States. Mr. Brown says that all but one or two of the Southern States were rep resented, and that the representatives from these 8tat.-onroved the plan -whlclr had "been formulated" "by the cotton loan fund committee, and are now ready to put It In operation. AH the flOO, 000.600 which waa to l subscribed outside of the cotton States, has been provided for, and fCi.eoo.ftUO of this fund already sign edup. The balance of this aubst-rip tlon -will be signed up during this week and the funds will then be avail able. The central commutes in charge of this matter consists of the Individual members of the Federal Reserve Hoard. They selected what la known as the cotton loan committee, headed by W. P. O.

The process will be as follows: the liarty who wishes to borrow will store his cotton in an approved ware house, present his warehouse certifi cates to his local bank with his sign d application (or a loan. This ap plication must be approved by the lo cal committee and then forwarded to the Sis t committee for Its. approval It next goe to the central committee for ' taelc approval and check is. is sued f.ir the pr.iceeds on a basis -of six cents a pound for middling cotton The quantity of rotten offered must supply a margin of to per cent above the full amount of the proposed loan. With the application, the local iMtnk must forward a check on New York for one-fourth of the amount of the in wanted, and for this amount a eta,- B certificate will be issued, bear ing six per cent Subscribers to the (100.000,000 have what ia known as class A certificates, hearing six ier cent. The local bank must guaran tee the interest on the loan. From the proceeds of the loan sill be deducted three per cent of th amount, which will be held by the committee as a guarantee for expenses and against possible losses, i Kvery possible safe guard is being thrown around the business of the syndicate so a to make it practically Impossible to sustain loss- It is estimated ..that expenses will not amount to more than one eighth of one per cent. Any member of the State committee will lie glad to furnish Information to parties who wish borrow. N) KMIIK.R KOHKHiN THADK r lialance in Favor I'nlted States Kliows AnotiMT Itlrtsain. Washington. D.
