This Year's Conven tion Will Be Presence or Women As Delegates; Some Lively De butes In Prospect Regarding Meredith and Wuke Forest (By T. W. CHAMBL1SS) Tomorrow afternoon marks the opening session of the North Caro lling Baptist State Convention. Every indication points to a record-breaking attendance. Interest in the year's work, tho conditions surrounding va- tfbeon mrtnifest for nome weeks and tho nsrtural reBult will bo the presence it the convention of more than the usual number of messengers from the Baptist churches of the State. One feature which may result In i large attendance is the fact that for tho first time in tho history of tho Baptist denomination of this State, women will be eligible to seatn in the convention. This change of front was made last year when the convention met at Rocky Mount. It was inevitable but the opposition did not give up until the final vote was taken and women were given their place. For many years the women of the Baptist churches have held a high place, doing a work thru their missionary societies which entitled them to more - consideration than they received. Their contributions to missions amounted to more than a third of the total contributions of all the churches and yet had no voice In the convention program or plans. It Is all changed now and this year will witness women mes sengers Just how many is not known, but some of the fearful of the men seem to anticipate an ava lancho of women, so many that they will actually push the men aside but that condition is very uniiKeiy. Salem Baptist church with Rev. H. W. Baucom, pastor, will be the hosts to the convention with the other Baptist churches of the Twin City joining with them in the enter tainment of the visitors. Rev. W. A. Ayers, of New Bern, Is the preacher of the convention sermon and Rev. T. H. King, of Mount Airy, le his alternate. At the last session, the convention provided tor a presiding officer, thus making plans for the convention of this year lo get down to business quickly. Organized 82 Years ago Ninety-two years ago and the con vention was organized. It was in the meeting house of the Greenville Baptist church. Just a small group. They represented only a small part of the denomination of Baptists in the 8tate. Today the denomination numbers more than 300.000 mem bers, gathered into 2,3DO chsrehes. Ninety-two years ago there were few, f any, Sunday schools, and now there ire more than two thousand. Then tho contributions to missions and benevolences were practically insig nificant, but these latter days the North Carolina Baptists are giving more than a million a year to mis sionary activity and denominational Interests over and nbove their local church expenses. The total contri butions of North Carolina Baptists will exceed J2.000.0Q0 a year. The ninety-two years have .seen other changes.- The orphanage work, with ite splendid plant at Thomas- k ville and the branch at Kinaton Is I caring for approximately 600 children DELEGATES BY THE HUNDREDS BEGAN ARRIVING TODAY - ty STATE AFTERNOON IP OUT POLICY MANAGESTRAITS ENCE OF MINISTERS AND LAYMEN TODAY This Evening Dr. M.

It was given wide publicity, and the statements alleged to have been made hy Dr. Poteat, in his early career, aroused some of the denomi national leaders. The matter was discussed individually, was taken up by some of the critics of the college two years ago, it Is stated, and has found Its way into many of the asso ciations! programs.

Of Trying To Dominate South America i Buenos Aires, Deo. 11 (By The Associated Press) The discussion of the South American armaments, pre cipitated by the Brazilian invitation to Argentina and Chile to participate with Brazil In a triparte conference on the subject, has reached the stage of a stormy interchange of arguments between the newspapers of Argentina and Brazil. The newspapers of Chile, Uruguay and Peru also par ticipated. Columns of space" are being de voted to the argument. The Argen tine press is very unanimous in op position to the Brazilian proposal, the newspapers accusing the Bra zilian governmerft of Imperialism and of seeking to become the preponder ating naval power of South America at the expense of Argentina. Charges of secret diplomacy also are leveled against Brazil. Brazilian editorial writers declare Brazil's purpose In suggesting the conference has been entirely misun derstood In Argentina and assert the suspicion of -ulterior motives by Brazil ia unfounded and unjuM.

Inasmuch as Russia, Turkey and America are not members of the Leaguo of Nations there would doubtless be ptrong objection to any plan to make control of tho straits a league affair. Lord Curzun bus only once alluded to a plan for the administration of the waterway and then In tho most Indefinite way. Ismet l'asha and his Turkish as-. soclRtes are a little more friendly to the league idea than are Foreign Minister Tchitchorln and tho other Bolshevik leaders, who denounce it as useless inasmuch as tho United States does not belong. Altho some of the French dele gates have been striving hard to got tho conference to declare a Chrlst 'mas holiday, It seems unlikely that j there will be a cessation of the ses sions longer than Christmas Day un. j less It Is possible to sign some sort of a tentative agreemont or protocol before that time. Says Country Needs New Fi nance Corporation To' Take Care Stored Over-Supplies Chicago, Dec. 11 Shrinkage of foreign credits cramps the furmer more than anything else and nothing is more Important than creation of International relations which will bring about re-estahllshment of those markets, said Bernard M. Ha ruch, of New York, In un address to. day before the American Farm Bu reau Federation. "Surplus finally" determines ""the prices of products," he said. "You farmers are the real exporters. If you cannot sell your surplus abroad you must take a lower price fo.' that portion of, the produce consumed here. "The basts for Increased marketing credits should be the placing of the products In a warehouse, where a neutral authority would register their grade and amount and issue the farmer a certificate which could be taken to a bank or a new finance cor poration, which should be created to lend to tho farmer upon his note, secured by the certificate. 'The new Institution, dependent of the present banking system, would place the farmer's note in its treas ury and Issue Its own obligations which would be discountable In the federal reserve system."
