Takes His Life
in Kinston
PUIS BULLET IN BRUIN
Newt reaches this city of the aul
ctde of Mr. W B. Burgees at Klnston
N. C.? on last Sunday afterpoon. He
took his Ufa at his home In that
town.- by shooNag himself. He was a
man of about 46 years of age and
leares a widow and live children co
mourn their loss. At the time of
his untimely . end he was In the em
ploy of the Htnea Planing Miss Com
pany and held the eonildence and ee
'teem of hie employers.
Mr. Burgees was a brother of Mrs.
George W. Lewis and Mrs. J. B. La
tham of this city. No reason is given
for his rash act
Mj. and Mrs. J. B. Latham a%d
Mrs. George W. Lewis are now tn
Klnston -attending the funeral. Mr.
Burgees was well known In Wash
ington. ?
No re*Mn is ascribed by. the family
for the suicide, but it Is generally
credited to despondency orer finan
cial troubles and poor health. Mr.
Burgess was a member of the Royal
Arcanum, Odd Fellows and Junior
6rder, and carried insurance with
them and old line insurance as well.
His, remains were interred in Maple
wood cemetery, conducted by Rev.
Bernard P. Smith, pastor of the
Christian church./
Mr. Burgess was quiet in disposi
tion, with a mind running a little to
the morbid, which prdbably accounts
.for his self destruction. He had
| previously attempted it by drinking
carbolic acid about ten years ago, but
i medical assistance resuscited him snd
'prevented that attempt. That he
| had well planned ihls suicide Satur
day afternoon, those yho saw him
Just prior to the act are convinced.

after.) and that one of the feature!
of the meeting will he a reat trip
down the Jamae River for the benefit
of the many hundreds of delegates
In attendance.
Senator P. M. 81mmons of
North Carolina was looked up oth
er day and asked some questions
about the preaent statua of the Nor
folk-to-North Carolina frbe waterway
project, -In wliich the senator, like
his colleague tn the house (Mr.
Small) has taken so great and so
practical an interest. Mr. Small's
position on the Rivers and Harbors
committee of the house will give him
more power than he ha? ever had to
press his pet measure, while the pro
motion of Mr. Burton to the senate
has takeif from the house a fighter
of ability who as chairman of the
Rivers and Harbors Committee was
always a stumbling block to the mem
bers pressing the waterways under
takings. Since going to the Ben Mr.
Burton has become less strenuous In
his opposition, and It is believed that
the next regular session of Congress
the Atlantic Waterways will have bet
ter hopes than they have enjoyed for
a long time.
As to the Norfolk-Carolina water
way in particular. 3ena?r Simmons
expresses confidence that something
definite will be done towards the ac
complishment of the free-canal con
sideration at this next session. At
the extra session of conraj, such leg
islation is not contemplated. The
present status of the Norfolk-Caroli
na link is that at the last regular
session of Congress 8enator Slmmona
got through an amendment to the
river and harbor bill authorising the
secretary of war to make a contract
to purchase subject to the ratifica
tion of congress, which every one of
existing canals might be approved by
the Engineer Board of Review. The
lower board of engineers reported
some time ago in favor of purchasing
the Albemarle and Cheea peaks canal
If could be gotten for 1600.000.
, The Dismal Swamp canal people
I complained that they had dot receiv
ed a fair show and asked another
hearing, which was given them, but It
is understood that the tower bojjrd
of engineers will no$ change its opln
loh. ?
Before thU report onn be acted up
on by congress, however the Engineer
Board of Review must pass upon the
whole waterway project, as it would
be cheaper to dig the Norfolk water
way to the general depth at first
than to dig at a less depth now and
Increase the depth later.
The original project -involving the
Norfolk canal was to dig it from Nor
folk to Beaufort N. C., at a anlform
depth of ten feet. Tn the report of
the survey the line was divided into
four sections. two low?r ?*c"
tlons, from Befcufort north, have been
completed, and the third section, con- 1
nectlng the lower section with deep |
water in the sounds, may te regard- 1
ed as negligible, fcs Its completion
involves an outlay of only about |6.
000 Senator Simmons says that the
whole route Is now practically com
pleted except the Norfolk end.
"Why is It," the senator was ask
ed, that the Norfolk end, unquestion
ably the most important to naviga
tion and the one which the people of
both states deal re most to ?oe open
ed to free traffic, has been left to the
lest?"
"Our controlling desire," replied
Senator Simmons, "was to get the
government committed to the project
The ooet of thw Norfolk section was
several times greater than that of
any other, and the matter was com
plicated by the deUT
ton as to the route to be choeen .It
was possible to dig the south end.

when we had it."
The senator observedthit when
the canal was started at the south
end the general Boeton-to-Florida
project had not supervened in tangi
ble shape to complicate matters. He
regarded it as unfortunate that this
should jhare come along just at a
time to postpone the beginning of
the special project from Norfolk to
Carolina, but says there was no way
in which the contretemps could have
been prevented by him or by Mr.
8mall.
The first survey of ths Norfolk
Beaufort route, said the senatoi iu
reviewing the history of th* matter
was on a basis of 16 feet depth. The
report on that survey was unfavor
able. the board holding that the ben
efit to commerce would not justify
the outlay, and suggesting a reduc
tion of the contemplated deptn to 10
or 12 feet. A second survey was then
secured on a basis of 12 feet, the
report in this case being favpra^te.
i Right here was where 8enator Sim
mons got the lower end through. To
do so, however, he had to knock out
two feet, and even then succeeded
only after threatening to hrfd up the
entire river and harbor bill In the
senate.
Father OaUngher of New Bern
was in the etty yesterday en route
to Greenville where he will hold low
mass He will perform the same ser
vice here Wednesday morning.

Uament or tti Congress of the Unit
ed 8tatee the Southern Baptist Con
vention will meet here on May I7tb
with delegates present from ever*
state in the South.
The convention !? made up of mes
sengers, or delegates from churches,
associations. state conventions, mis
sionary societies end Sunday schools.
All Baptist churches are independen*
Therefore the convention has no au
thority 'to hind the churches in Its
territory. Its action is advisory,
not compulsory. Ministers and lay
men are admitted into, the conven
tion on the same basis without any
offlclal distinction between clergy and
men.
The Baptist cry through the ages
has been "A church without a Prices
and a state without a king." They al
ways held ap a fundamental princi
ple that the Individual soul is com
petent to deal with God.- The Bi
ble is their only creed and sole guid..
in matters of faith and doctrine
From its teachings they bold that al
men are born in sin, and can fine
salvation only through faith in J?
sus Christ. They accept vicarious
atonement of Christ, believing in hi*
death on the cross; his resurrection
from the grave, and his ascension tc
the right hand of the Father as the
foundation and security of salvation
Baptists insist upon what Is callec
believers' baptism^ urn a prerequisite
to church membership, in the inde
pendence of local church, and hold
that each church Is a spiritual, dem
ocratic body, separate from the state,
owing to its allegiance to God. la $
Baptist church there are no priestly
orders. Ministers are solemnly set
apart to the work of the ministry
without official distinction, or author
ity, one over another, the terme
"pastor," "bishop." and "elder" be
ing different names for the same of

The convention has three boards:
| The foreign mission board, with head
quarters at Richmond; the home mis
sion board With headquarters at At
lanta and the Sunday school board,
with headquarters sfNashrille. The
work of the foreign board is to preach
the gospel in foreign lends. The home
mission board looks after mission
work In the home, field, which lncludr
es the southern states Cuba and the

board is thto hand of the Sunday
