Baltimore, May 17. ? In ar volumi
nous report presented by the temper
ance committee at the Southern Bap
tist Convention today. President Taft
Is commended for hlfe example of to
tal abetinence andsfdr his action In
instating on chaniedVegulatlona gov
erning the tsauanoe of the United
State# special tax recelpta of retail
liquor dealers whereby the "tnfamoua
work of the ao-called boot-leggers
and other violators of prohibition
laws will be rendered haaardous."
Thin action of the nation's chief ex
ecutive, the committee reported, will
render "bootlegging" Impossible
without detection under proper Bute
enactments And enforcements.
The ' committee recommended that
Congress enact lawa which will pro
tect Btates from the lnterataie ship
ments of liquor into "dry" territory
land remove whatever protection the
i Internal revenue tax receipts may
give 'to vepders of liquors In locali
ties where the aale of liquor la pro
hibited by' law. <
The convention emphasised Its Idea
of complete Independence 'from the
Northern Bgptlst denomination by Ita
action* in tabling a resolution aetting
out a baopdary line in the territory
of the two bodies and again In Its
disposition of the copununtcatton of
the American Home &f|ssionary So
ciety of the Northern Convention ask
ing for aid and offering co-operation
! In the education of the negro for the
Baptist ministry. 'if
The special committee to which
this matter was sent, reported that It
should be referred to the Home Mis
sion board of the Southern Baptist
C6nventlon>-The action of this com
mittee is considered as tantamount to,
a disapproval of the- Northern board
in sending the letter to the conven
tion.
Important features Were the adop
tion of resolutions pledging the con
vention to co-operation wfth all Bap
j^lsts of the world In the work of the
World's Baptist Alliance; that the
8undgy school board of the conven
tion be allowed to take upon It the

[>? en ideal convention city, end the
committee ?f arrangements
Utpared no peine in providing every
j thing possible for the entertainment
and comfort of the delegates. The
ci Usens generally joined in the
(abounding hospitality to the visitors.
? The convention exceeded all past
Records in collecting funds to carry
on its mission enterprises. The Home
Mission Board reported more than
9300,040 for It* work, and the Por
elght? Mission Board collected more
I than half a million dollars. Both
the a?f8urits are much larger than
[the amounts c611ected last year.
?Results of the work of the mission
aries showed a splendid increase*
| The Home Board reported 17,87?
bapttsms, and the Foreign Board
1 2 23 baptisms. These figures do not
indicate the number received Into thef
[membership of the churches, lft?t
those actually reached through the!
work of' the missionaries of the
boards.
?A resolution was passed asking
Rhe chprches to raise $1,000,000 for
(missions next year.
? A? great forward stride was taken
when a brother, whose name was
| withheld by request^ offered to payl
for sending out ten missionaries anil
| their support. If the cpnvention would
i provide for twenty more. Jn a tew
1 minutes/ fifteen of the twenty were
provided for, and the board is sure
the other five can easily be secured.
This meane a greatly enlarged work
for the- coming- year In Foreign Ml's-j
Islons. The great Laymen's Mission
ary Movement received much consid
eration. an^ waa heartily endorsed.
While the convention was In sts
Mad immigrants on bo*rd. Through
the kindness of the authorities, the
delegates were Invited te eee them
disembark. ? More than * thousand
membera availed themselves of the
lnvltatftm, and as the poor foreigners
representing all conditions of human
ity came ashore, the delegates began
singing "Rescue the Perishing." and
"America." * It was a thrilling
scene.
The convention had the pleasure
of addresses from Re*. J. H. Shake
speare, of London, corresponding sec
retary <*f the World's Baptist Alli
ance. and Dr. F- B. Myer, of London,
president of the World's Internation
al 8unday. School Association, which
meets 1|fc Washington, D. C.. this
week.
Steps were taken looking toward, a
closer cooperation of the Northern
and Southern Baptist Conventions.
The Woman's Missionary Union.
Auxiliary to the Southern Baptist
Convention held their meetings at the
same time. Their reports showed a
fine Increase In all work, and they,
teo, planned , for larger work next

It Win b? the End of the World.
Washington's colored population .
at least a portion of it, says rumor, is
greatly stirred over the fsct they
must pass through the tall of Hal
ley's comet tonight between 11 snd
12 o'clock. Already several old ne
groes hare gotten their sffalrs fixed
believing that tonight at the appoint- .
ed time they will be swept Into the
other world.
Several of the cooks and nsrses In
the city hsve asked to be relieved of
duty early this afternoon, snd one old
darkey gave out the Information to
his colored friends this morning that
the earth would certainly be no more
after tonight.
Not only Is this fear exhibited. In
Washington, but the same state of
affairs seems to exist all over North
Carolina among the colored folk.
They are thoroughly terrorised.
Near the Central Hotel this morn
ing some were seen weeping, and
when as^ed as to the cause, replied i
the earth was doomed and they were
not prepared to go Into eternity.
Prayermeettngs are being held. It1
Is said, and every preparation is be
ing made for the occurrence to take
place tonight.
I Tonight the earth will be some
thing like 11.000.000 miles from the
comet, which will be going at a little
less than 2.Q00 miles per minute.
The atll will be between 11.000.000
and 40.000.000 miles long, different
scientists making different estlmstes.
Tt\ere Is considerable discussion as
to the CQjDpqsltlon of the comet's tall,
but the general idea is that it Is made
up of rarlfled gases. It makes no
difference what its composition is. the
colored people are greatly aroused
and consternation reign? among
them.

Cambridge. Mass.. May 17. ? Har
vard asn-bnamera e?pect the passing!
of the earth through the tail of Hal
ley's comet to be accompanlcd by a
shower of meteors.
"There will probably be an unus
ual glow In the heavens," said Prof.
Edward C. Pickering today, "or a
few meteors or falling stars, but It
is doubtful If any of these will be
visible, as the atmosphere at the
comet's tall Is 100 times rarer than
the- atmpSphere near the earth. The
con^jrfls so tenuous that it Is possible
tb photograph stars right through It.
"The best observations will be ob
tained in Japan.
"The comet and the earth are ap-,
proaching one another at a speed#of
4 3 miles a second. The time of tran
sit we expect to be 58 minutes, show
ing that the tall, where the earth
will pass through It. is 150.000 miles
wide.
"The transit will begin at exactly
10<60 p. m. Wednesday, and will be
concluded at 11:48 p. m.

THE OEM.
Tonight the Gem presents a Blo
graph. The Thread of Destiny, a pret
ty story containing much of sugges
tion and much of real life. Probably
ihany have had dreams, have longed
for something they couldn't explain,
something that would take them out
of this life and into some other, or so
change this life that It would be like
another. It Ira't always possible to
explain these longings, common to
all mankind. The Blograph Co. has
expressed these strongly In this pic
ture, and in an unusually graphic
manner the human tendency for all |
that Is beautlfnl and romantic. The
film has a picturesque Western touch '
with a strong plot throughout.
On the Bank of the River is a
Gaumont picture of great beauty-.
A Seat In the Balcony, a. comedy
which depicts the experiences of a
man who sees a play for the first
time. The film offers many opportu

quality of this film Is quite up to the

MRS. LATHAM DEAD.
Mrs. Ellen Latham, mother of Mr.
Andrew M. U^ara, of this city, died
at Blounts Greek last night In the
84th yesr of her age. She was a
woman of broad Intellect and had
msny friends throughout the county

Blounts Creek. The Dally News ex
tends Sympathy to the bereaved.
the GAIETY TONIGHT.
The two pictures the Gaiety offers I
Its patrons tonight are each one
whole reel In length, and after you
have witnessed them you will hardly
be able to realize you .have not been
sitting In a theater' looking at real
living., breathing, talking actors, for
they are of this nature.
"The Clay Baker" Is a Btory of ab
sorbing interest. It Is taken from
the drama of the title of this picture,
and is portrayed with Thomas 8her
as "Peter Denlg," the leading char
acter. When this play was first pro
duced throughout the country it cre
ated a 'sensation everywhere qhown,
and the pictures give a faithful rep
resentation of the drams.
"S&'ndy the Substitute" is taken
from Roy Norton's marvelously real
ist ic drama of the. Rocky Mountains.
A dramatization of Norton's celebrat
ed "Whistling Sandy" stories, show
ing the quaint and rugged hero's
search for the train" robber, the dra
matic encounter, the capture, and
the terrible journey back to the min
ing camp. To lovers of Western pic
tures this one will especially appeal
to them, as It teems with action and
interest from beginning to end.
Illustrated Bong for tonight by Mr.
Whitten will be "Mary, You Are a
Big Girl Now," and It Is a fine one.

London, Mar 17. ? With solemn
pageantry, which drew upon the roy
alty of Europe for lta actors, the body
of Edward VII was today borne
through tffe streets of London from
Buckingham Palace to historic West
minster Hall. There began the fare
welk of the people of the empire td
their beloved monarch ? the steady
filing past of unbroken lines of peo
ple. msklng obeisance to the royal
catafalque.
Todsy's ceremonies are second
only to those of the funeral on May
20. Till Friday the body will lie at
Westminster Hall. In that time It Is
expected that more than 760.000 will /
psss by the oak and lead that encase /
the monarch's body.
As the funeral procession msrehed
[through the shrouded streets and
sombre, black-rlad crowds, thousands^,
wept. Above the pomp of royafly
there stood out the human side of
jthe trying moment as Alexandra re
pressing her tears with a magnetic
display of queenly Btrength. followed
her husband's body and as the late
king's children and other relatives
rode through the silent lanes of
mourners.
Before dawn the crowds began to
gather. Hours before the {.I me for
the start of the procession, the streets
were crowded with solid banks of hu
manity f<m?lle upon mile. A sul
len. cloudy sky added to the funeral
air of the throngs.
Though the lesfy vistas of the
Mall, lht* black masses of spectators,
fringed with close ranks of scarlet
tunlcked soldiers, formed ?ne of the
most Impressive spectacles Longon

King George rode behind his fa

? the Duke of' Cornwsll and Prince
Albert. Then cime two foreign
kings ? Frederick of Denmark ? and
Haskon of Norway, brother-in-law
