Tuesday evening, Dec6v with the
Hon. W. C. Dowd, former president
in the chair, and secretaries Brought
on and Brewer at their desks. In a
very short time the committee on
organization reported a working
quorum of delegates present, and
the permanent organization of th6
convention was effeeted Jby the "re
election of the aboveliamed officers.
Dr. 3. J. Hall ofFayetteville de
livered the Introductory sermon,
and a very great sermon it wai
Hon. C. F. Toms made the address
of welcome on behalf of the Baptist
church, and Hon. R. H. Staton, may
or Hendersonville, on behalf of
the town, to which response was
made bv Rev. W; N. Johnson, of
Wake Forest, in an interesting
speech. Then followed the appoint
ment of committees, and the -convention
work began in earnest, and
continued in almost a continuous
session till the close Friday, Dec. 9,
at twelve o'clock, M. '
Some of the more important
speeches of the convention were de
livered by Dr. A. T: Robertson, for
the Louisville Seminary, J. W.
Bailey, for Meredith college, Rev.
C E. Maddreyt for Thomasville
Orphanage, Dr. R. J. Willingham,

teat, for Wake Forest college, and
Dr. Vining's address on World-wide
Christianity an appeal for aid in
the establishment of a religious
school in Europe, underthe au
spices of the Baptist denomination.
This was the great speech of the
convention.
Much work was- done pertaining
to the Baptist denomination, its
wide fiel(j; of work and usefulness,
whieh we would be glad to give if
we had time and space. And all
Hendersonville and community
unite in saying: Come again .Bro.

Of Interest
Washmgton7D. C, December 10.
The Southern Railway company,
through its tand and Industrial
department, is taking steps to in
augurate' a Ime of work recemly
outlined by President Finley in
which Western North Carolina is
especially interested.
M, A. Hays, who has had long
experience in development work of
all kinds, is ta give spe ial attention
for the present to Western North
Carolina. He is well equipped for
this work by knowledge of the re
sources and opportunities of , that
region. He is making a special
study of those resources and oppor
tunities and is to concentrate his
worjt on a campaign for more peo
ple aid more industries for West
ern North Carolina.
Mr, Hays has opened an office of
the Land and Industrial department
in Harrisburg, Pa, a - convenient
location for reaching a large extent
of territory in which there are many
p ple likely to become interested
in the Mountain and Piedmont
sections of the South.
In addition to the work to which
Mr. Hays will give his special at
tention, a trained horticultural and
agricultural agent will be placed in
Western North Carolina, with head
quarters at Asheville, for education
al and intensive demonstration
workWmort the fanners and fruit
growers already there and those
who may settle in the region. This
agent will co-operate with the State
Agricultural department, the United
States Department of Agriculture,
afld allbther agencies engaged in
advancing the farming interests of
the section.

Review of Reviews
Mr. Taft deserves especiaU credit
for having seen, at last, that 'there
was no sense in wrangling overtfce
question whether or not the Payht -Aldrich
.tariff was quite as good as
it could havebeen made under the
circumstances, but that there was
great gqod sense in setting about to
create a method for revising the
tariff in a way that would not haim
business while getting rid of the
worst abuses. It would seem that
we are to have a chance in the near
future to try the revision of one ojr.
two schedules. It is rumored that
some attempt to do this may be
made at the present short session.
This will be the only chance that
the republicans will have before
1913 to show their sincerity. If Xhe
tariff board could give them suffi
cient data for attempting a reason
able revision of some one schedule
before the present congress expires
on the 4th of 41arcb, the gain w ould
be very great to the republican
cause- The democrats seem to be
committed to the doctrine cf a com
plete and immediate tariff revision
all along the line on ihe principle
of a' tariff for revenue -olIv There
are two gre it obstacles in the way
of any such, program. In the first'
place, nobody posseses information

Letter from
Wake Forest
The report of the BaDtist state
convention to the Wake Forest Bap
tist church Sunday night was of in
terest, especially to one who claims
Hendersonville as his own town.
Dr. C. E. Brewer, one of the secre
taries of the convention, spoke cf
the cordiality extended the dele
gates, stating among other compli
mentary things, that while the
weather man was against them, he
was not in league with the people
of Hendersonville. A more cordial
reception, said he, had not in his
opinion, been extended the Baptist
Stat convention. Dr. Brewer then
proceeded to give his impressions of
the convention, and to stt3 some
striking paralelis between the Bap
tist state of affair in North Caro
lina in 1900 and 1910. quoting from
the report of Sec. Johnson. He al
so spoke of the attendance, lament
ing the absence of the women, and
of the speakers and their themes.
Dr. Poteat next spoke, referring
first of all to the eloquent address of
welcome, and particularly to the
"lare crowd of beautiful women"
welcomed to the convention. Dr.
Poteat, while conceding the impost
e of ( bility of transporting the spirit of
place, ! the convention, did in a?' w&y, bring
