El. A. LONDON, Editor. WEDNESDAY. MAY 24. 1916. The Southern Baptist Conven tion, which held its annual ses sion last week at Asheville, was said to have been the largest at tended of any ever yet held. Not only was the attendance so large but the business transacted was very important and its proceed ings very interesting. The next session will be held at New Or leans. This convention represents one of the most numerous and influ ential bodies of Christians in the United States, its membership having now reached the grand total of 2,685,552, of vvhich num ber 168,235 members have been added during the past year. The liberality of the membership is shown by the statement that during the past year the sum of $12,281,765 has been contributed for church work. The trustees and patrons of Peace Institute are to be con gratulated upon her acceptance of the presidency of that institu tion of learning by Miss Mary Graham, of Charlotte. Under her management we predict a more piosperous career in the future than the college has had in the past, although its past has been a source of pride to all friends of hisrher education- The!,- new president is a sister of j the president of the University of North Carolina and possesses many of the qualities that have enabled him to make that insti tution more prosperous than it ever has been Miss Graham was the first wo-j j i? xt .u r . lUaii yi crsiucu l ui nic nuim wci- olina Teachers' Assembly, and was one 01 its oest, ana is me assistant superintendent of the schools of Mecklenburg county.

Sudden changes, high winds, shift ing seasons cause colds and grippe, and these spring colds are annoying and dangerous and are likely to turn into a chronic summer cough" In such cases take a treatment of Dr. King's New Discovery, a pleasant laxative tar syrup.

A Symbol of Health. The Pythagorians of Ancient Greece ate simple food, practiced tempeiance and purity. As a bade they used the five pointed star which thev regarded as a symbol of health. A red pointed star appears on each package of Chamberlain's Tablets, and still ful fills its ancient mission as a symbol of health. If you are troubled with indi gestion, biliousness or constipation, get a package of these tablets from your druggist. You will be surprised at the quick relief which they afford Ob tainable everywhere, adv Catarrh Cannot Be Cured With LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Ca tarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take in ternal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly upon the blood and mucous surface. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best phy sicians in this country for years and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combina tion of the two ingredients is what pro duces such wonderful results in curing catarrh. Send for testimonials, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Props., Toledo, O.
