In Session at 1 Asheboro Many
D stinguished Visitors.
This body composed of the B:ip.
tist Cnurcbes of Guilford Rocking.
ham and Kandolph counties, with t
few others from Alamance and For
sythe, met in annual session with
the Baptist Church of Asheboro on
Tuesday the 25 th.
ine introductory sermon was
preached by Rev- W. b. Staley, of
ureensooro. ue waa greeted oy a
fine congregation and his sermon was
a very thoughtful and helpful dis
course. 0.i Wednesday morning the
body met for business, Rev, F. II.
Jones of Reidsville for many years
the moderator of the Association on
account of the feeble condition of his
heozth. declined re-election and
Rev. W. F. Staley of Greensboro was
elected to that position. Rev. W.
H. Ellers also of Greensboro was re
elected clerk of the Association.
The delegation is an unusually
large one. The churches are well
represented, and the business of the
body is being transacted with dignity
and dispatch.
lhe Biblical Recorder, the organ
of the denomination, was discussed
in a luminous way by Rev. A. L.
Betts, the active and energetic agent
for that excellent paper.
Mr. E. L. Middleton, cf Raleigh.
sjoke to the report on Sunday
Schools with uncommon vigor.
This report ia always interesting, and
Mr. Miduleton reported no little
information on this subject.
l he report on Mate missions, was
read by Rev. John R. Willis; of
High tomt and Rev. Livingston
Johnson, of Raleigh, presented that
subject in a space of singular force
una power, ibis is one of the sub
jects of prime importance before
every Baptist Association. The
Baptist are wide awake on the sub
ject, and the church at Asheboro is
itself a striking illustration of the
woikoftbe Hate Mission Board.
Without its timely help this church
could not have been built. Pledges
from the churches followed the dis
cussion of the report, and a large
amount was subscribed for the work
of State missions during the coming
year.
At 2 o clock the suoiect of Tem
perance was disoussed in a very ex
cellent speech by Dr. W. C. Tyree,
of High Point. This was followed
by a consideration of the report on
Home Missions. Among Baptists
Home Mission means all the destitute
territory embraced within the limits
of the Southern Baptist Convention
including the island j of Cuba and
the frontier country of the Southern
f acihe slope. 1
Miscellaneous and local business
followed the Home Mission repoit
and then adjjurnpient waa taken
until the night service.
The Baptiet Orphanage ia the
most popular object before the Bap.
tist people of North Carolina. At
8 o'clock p. m. Dr. Archibald John,
son discussed the Orphanage befo're
a crowded house. lie was followed
by Dr. William Louis Potent in a
speech of tremendous power. Dr.
Poteat is one of the finest platform
speakers in North Carolina, and he
never fails to enlighten aud delight
his hearers.
The Program today

The Town Water Supply.
More than nine months ago the
R. D. Cole Company befan the bor
ing i' f a well under the contract fcr
$4,800 for 800 feet in depth.
Those who have donethe woik
have bad a hard time of it. They
have not bored much over half tbe
required depth.
This week they threw up tne
sponge, 'he town agreeing to pay
$250 fcr the worlc done. V
The town has b en getting its wa
ter supply from the deep well at the
Aaheboro Furniture Company. The
new well will be given a new trial,
but it ia not believed it will give an
adequate 8upply for the use of the
town. If the supply afforded by
the new well proves sufficient at
first it is not believed that it will
furnish half enough w' en the con
nections are made to all those
who have applied for city water.
The Tax Lists.
County Assessor Mr. H. M.
Worth ia hard at work preparing
and completing the tax lists.
1 be Courier asked Mr. Worth for
information. He talked intelli
gently en the subject, giving inter
eBting facts and figures, bnt as he
has not completed the figuies for tbe
entire county, preferred not to give
a partial report, lhe .increase in
the counry is not so much as might
be expected. Really the increaae ia
not as much as iu many other coun
ties. In fact, the increase in valua
tion ia nothing like as much as the
increase in value of the property in
the county,
. A careful inquiry shows that the
valuation is behind the actual in.
crease in the value of real estate.
The increase was natural and. not
forced. Little complaint has been
heard about the assessment and it is
pretty generally conceded that there
has been a fair assessment of prop.
erty in all parts of tbe county. The
instructions of County Assessor
Worth have beeu to equalize the as
sessment of property, and as a rule
it appears that au honest efljrt has
beeu made to do this. When tbe
couDty asseapor completes his work
tbe figures and information relating
to the assessment of all property will
be published.
The Ladies' Auxiliary.
It waaVuhe intention to have what
is known us a Ladies' Auxiliary in
sbeboro laBt November or Deeem
uer, but after reflection it was at
the time decided not to have it last
year but to wait until this year and
have it late iu the fall, probably a
lhe time of the agricultural fxir.
Like the chrysanthemum show it
is no part or paicel of the fair, and
if held at the same time f)f the fair
;t will be by special arrangement,
lor the purpose of those are to aid
the WoTian's Club or some branch
of it like school betterment or the
civic leagu'-.
The Courier wculd be glad to see
the chrysanthemum shows at Lib
erty, Ramseur, Franklinville,. Ran
dleman an:l elsewhere in the county
unite and have a big flower show at
Asheboro during the agricultural
fair tl ia fall.
Iabidtr to make' the fair a big
success all must be interested and
