The tnicoln County News LINCOLNTON, N. C. MONDAY, NOV. 21st, 1921 BAPTISTS CLOSE BIG CONVENTION. Tt Pavs to Take the Home Town Paper Hundred Thousand Dollars Donated To New Twin City Hospital. (By T. W. Chambliss.) I I Rocky Mount, Nov. 17. In the J closing hour of the Baptist State , convention, Rev. Dr. B. W. Spilmar was elected to preside over the ses- j sion of 1922 to be held at Winston- j Salem. The customery resolutions weTe adopted by the convention ex pressing appreciation of the grac- , ious hospitality ami the courtesies j shown by the press of the State. I The report of the Baptist hospital showns total testamentary gifts amounting to $102,400 and other gifts total $2,000. The Baptist hospital commission reported that plans for the first Baptist hospital at Winston-Salem were being prepare.! This first unit is to be a modern hospual building of five dories with 88 rooms and will cost $186,000. Work will be rushed to completion. How the spirits of the Fathers must rejoice! L Ninety-one years ago a compara tively few men, consecrated and with vision, gathered at Greenville and perfected the organization of the state convention ui Baptists. Those men of consecration and vision looked for that which they could not see and planned for that which they could not hope to accomplish-but great oaks from little acorns grow. Many have been the problems of the 91 years. Much prayer and much faith marked the pathway of North Carolina Baptists but from all the faith, the prayer, the service has come a great and growing denomination, re markably well balanced and witn a vi sion like unto the vision of the men of 1830 a vision of a Christianized state and a Christianized world. From small beginnings the Baptists have grown into a host of 300,000 church members, with property devot ed to denominational purposes amounting in value to almost 9,000, P00 dollars and the contributions of these three hundred thousand people to missionary, educational and I bene ,Volent objects is now over $1,000,000 a year, a per capita of over $3.

Truly the soirits of the fathers do rejoice! But this it not all . North Carolina Baptists through the state convention control eight educa tional institutions schools and col leges. These institutions have proper ty valued at $1,783,462. They employ 125 teachers and last year enrolled 2, 662 pupils. Within the borders of the state are, in addition, eight additional educational institutions which are more directly under the control of the home mission noara oi me Baptist convention and yet they oc cupy almost the same position as the ,'other institutions. These have prop erty worth $476,329 and employed last year 65 teachers and enrolled 1, 759 pupils. The grand total of Bap tist educational property in North Carolina is $2,250-791. The tota teaching force numbers 189 and last year 4,411 pupils were in the institu- IIUI1B. - Truly the spirit of those men of 1830 do rejpice! When Tuesday, November 15 came and the representatives ot the tpix. churches of North Carolina gathered in annual session at Rocky Mount and listen to the reports of the year clos ing November 1, and plan for the de nominational work of another year. there was reason iur sihto- the doxologv. Despite the business de pression, it has been a good year. Hard times came and hit the constitu ency of the Baptist denominational as hard as it seemed they could be hit.but Secretary of Missions Maddry say that over $900,000 has been contribut- . - . .... - 1.1.1.. iraa, ThlS IS ed for missions uu j.- ----- -- short of the amount wanted but it is good. , . But it is not alone in missionary and educational activity that the Bap tists of North Carolina have brought things to pass. Thomasville orphanage the institution which is a marvel in its successful service in behalf of the fatherless, stands a living monument to the consecration of Mortn i.aionm. twit. The main institution is at Thomasville and the branch is located at Kinston. Last year Thomasville or pranage cared for over 500 children. "Cared for" includes fed, clothed, edu cated them.

The fathers in 1830 had a vision of an evangelized state and an evange lised world. Since the organization of the Baptist state convention in 1880, its aha has been to develop ttie vision of the fathers into a reality. Each year has been marked with progress and - kih.

SEEK SUPPORT IN STATE FOR TARIFF Southen Tariff Congress Makes Quiet Campaign in North Carolina (News and Observer) Washington, Nov. 16 . There is evi dence in letters reaching Washington that the Southern Tariff Congress and the Southern Tariff Association are still at their old tricks and are still conducting in North Carolina an insi dious propanganda in favor of a Re publican protective tariff; in some in stances this campaign going to the ex tent of seeking an embargo so that big interests may have the best of Uiuiviii9. As in other instances and following its usual practices the Southern Tariff Association continues to attempt to disguise its Republican protection ap peals by putting on the cloak of a pur pose to serve industries of the South. The complete failure of the so-called ii Kill Khiln Rniithern (emergency umu w --- industries, that in place of aiding the farmers it has hurt them in tne oe creased prices of agricultural pro ducts, has demonstrated most clearly the futility of protective duties to aid industries of the South. Jolt For Propaganda nf nttemntinir to foist 1111 una iiiai!. i legislation upon the country that will not aid Southern industries tne pro- 1 o-vnrrt nf the Southern Tariff Congress is rudely jolted by a North ( Carolina manufacturer, as shown in some re cent correspondence.

Burlington, who signs himself as "Chairman Manufacturers' Division, Southern Tariff Association," written to the Farmville Oil and Fertilizer Co., - i ii.. ...,i,r nt tVit mm- rarmvine, anu uib ivj pany through its manager, J.

It is evident from Mr. Morgan's letter that he is a man of sound sense, v,;o- National viewnoint and that ti . i Tamnrat It is evident ne is a tiuc icinw. from his reply to Mr. Williamson that he realizes that America cannot al ways sell to other nations unless in re turn it is willing to buy their pro ducts. But the letters speak for tliamaelvps; Williamson Writing Letters First is the letter of Mr. Williamson dated Novermer 5, addressed to the Farmerville Oil and f ertilizer com pany and reading: "Gentlemen: We want you to join with the North Carolina manufactur ers whose names are shown on the en closed resolution in endorsing a tem- ; J..nr.

"Many countries, including England, France, Italy ana japan, iv bargoes and whatever reasons or con ditions may cause these countries to resort to an embargo apply with equal force to the United States. 'We want to present una resolution to the Senate finance committee as a complete and convincing expression f f the manufacturers of the South on the public policy involved in the dye embargo. "If you will be good enough to favor us with your co-operation, kindly sign the enclosed postal card and very greatly oblige." Morgan Comes Back Strong Straight-from-the-snouiaer repiy oi Mr. Morgan, dated Novemoer iv, follows: , "We have yours of the fifth, re questing our support in obtaining a temporary embargo in importation of dyes.

MAKES FALSE CLAIMS Good Roads Bill Is Democratic Thun-1 der Appropriated By The Adminis tration. (By H. E. C. Bryant in Charlotte Ob.) Washington , Nov. 17. The republican party is still conducting a campaign of misrepresentations It is claiming everything in sight. Every time a bill is passed a great boost is sent out ior u uui..i."- tion. When the good roads bill was signed by the President this week the organ of the white house regime said: "Drive for jobs wins;" "adminis tration making good its effort for relief of idle;" "roads bill action big help;" "President signs measure providing work for thousands; re deems pledge made in campaign days.' As a matter of fact the road mil was rammed down the throat of the republican Congress. The chair man of the house committee on roads was opposed to it, and in many ways hindered its consideration. The nrnviHed fell far short of what the estimates called for. In pass ing the mesure the republicans were reluctantly and sorrowfully carrying out the democratic policy for roads. The money allowed is not what Is needed. The house asked Ifnr iftn.000.000 to carry out the un derstanding reached in previous Congresses. People with good memories will recall the history of federal aid to public roads. Senator Simmons was r, h first to advocate it, and auiuu .. - a small, insignificant amendment to a postoffice appropriation bill was the beginning of the present elabo rate scheme. The records are plain on that point. Every road com missioner in the United States knows w t and all others interested had tliau - . several scares lest this Congress should stop short oi its ny nu fail to provide the necessary money for carrying out the program agreed to by democrats and republicans t i ii.- txr:l..n Ajlwilmiaferatiafi- unuer ur nuwu frjhytniiiiiail Waa Tsrdy. Had the republican leaders acted promptly upon the suggestion of democratic members of the house roads committee the idle would have been given work months ago. The Harding administration was tardy in this matter.

DEPENDS ON SENTIMENT i.-.H..:iiA T.anHmnrk . . Oawavmc , The race problem cannot be solved hv leeislation but must be worked out by public sentiment ,was the conten tion of Dr. Claxton, former United States commissioner of education, and ex-Gov. Brough of Arkansas, speaking before a meeting of the Southern co-operative league at Chattanooga, It is this papers opinion that the sooner that fact is fully realized, the surer and the more rapid the progress toward ideal .. intionshin. It has been dem onstratedamply demonstrated to all , who will see-that it is an utter rni ' possibility to maintain race relations by law which public sentiment does not and will not support. Anything having the appearance of compulsion, of force, in that direction simply creates race irritation and hurts the people it is intended to benefit. TV, nrnl must be to a just pub lic sentiment, to that sense of jus tice which will eventually, if not dis-, turbed, be as generous as it is just. But the upbuilding of that senti ment, its promotion, largely depends on the attitude of the minority race. A small minority of negroes with : i.i .ml nrrncant demands, can do more hurt to the whole negro race in a day than the sensible members of the race and their real friends among the whites can overcome in years.

Negro fraternal lodges, burial clubs and the like, long the favored theme of Octavius Roy Cohen and allied writers of short stories for the Satur day Evening Fost ano Hue journal, are in the grand jury in two score counties where they have flourished without the sanction of the State De partment of Insurance. Likely some of their Grand Senior iWorshipfuls will go to jail, in the nnininn of Deoutv Commissioner A. L. Fletcher. The law says that these orders doing insurance business and eiving death benefits must have li cense from the State, and only about one in seven has observed that for mality. The department has been in vestigating quitely for weeks, and yesterday it moved. Though knowing little of actual de tail about these ,lodges, any white man nr wnman havitor a nepn:6 man or wo man in employment, cannot but have , observed the tremendous growth of ;tot in lndwps in these latter years. !
