Secretary LIv ! -'Vm Johnson, in his speech, declar p that only one-third of North Caro linians are Christians, and that since n man out of every twelve in North roiina is a Baptist this work rested rSely on this denomination. Many of Carolina Eera Mi Stands T lTf - A u. w. .LiemmicK, came out in a bold declaration today against Roosevelt's nomination. He said: -'The Republicans of Alabama are not satisfledwith President Roosevelt. They feel that the president has not treated them fairly, that he has no confidence, in their judgment and abil ity to manage the affairs of the party in Alabama properly; and therefore feel that he has no claim on their sup port." The state chairman from Alabama. W. I. Wellman, was equally s em-I phatlc. He said: "The Republicans of Alabama feel that the president has treated them very unfairly and, consequently, are not enthusiastically for him for a sec ond term to succeed himself. The state wilf send a delegation to the next Re publican national cpnvenjion instructed for Marcua A. Hanna of Ohio. The parting of Ithe ways beAveen the reg ular Republican organization of Ala bama and the president came when our convention met . in September, 1902, in whi.cji a . resolution was introduced which criticised the president because of the Booker Washington incident. Tire president,, it seems, took umbrage at the same, since which time he has considered the Republicans of the state in a state of war against him, and in the matter of appointments has acted as if we -were personal, enemies. I have no hope now that the breach made will ever be healed, so far as the president is concerned." With the nomination assured for Roosevelt, it would be reasonable to suppose that there would be more or less tajk about his running mate. Noth ing whatever is heard with reference to this subject. ' One " Republican re marked today: - "The inference to be drawn Is that there .is hardly a Repub lican of prominence who wishes to be linked to bur probable candidate, ac cidentally forced upon the party." The southern committeemen were highly pleased today when Gen.

There Is a strong sentiment against the resolution, which leads southern republicans to believe that it is dead for all time. - The question will un doubtedly come up in the convention next SDfin..u 1 " Tewv H.

In response to my re quest the commissioner of fish and (Continued, on second page.) the strongest and most liberal churches today were mission stations, aided by the state board a feTjr years ago. This beautiful Tryon Street church is a monument to state missions. "Thirty-two years ago I attended the first convention held in Charlotte," de clared the venerable Rev. W. R. Gwaltney, "and now I hear thousands of dollars reported- from churches in counties that did not have a Baptist church then. The Baptists, too, are the only denomination making rapid gains in tie country, and the great danger is that w-e may not hs.ve well educated preachers to lead the rural hosts, may of whom are unlearned." Dr. Hufham " emphisized that state missions was the basis of all work. The sainted Matthew Yates would-write from China frequently: "Brother, keep up the work at home, all depends on success there.".. - Rev. C. L. Murchison, after discuss ing the work in manufacturing settle ments, begged the body to remember that the country, where the popula tion does not snlft, is the great nur sery of men who "rule in cities. Do not neglect country missions, he said. Maj. W. A. Graham considered that the most successful plan was to build churches where both mill operatives and farmers could unite. - This was working well in his association. W. T. Reave3 of Raleigh, R. H. Habel of Mount Airy and W. A. Terrell of Ashe vllle further discussed state missions. Rev. J. W. Iynch of : Wake Forest Than RALEIGH. N. cans osevelt then told a most effective Incident. Of the two Wake Forest College debaters who recently won the cup from Rich mond, one was a prospective lawyer, the other a preacher, and only four years ago one of the two was a cot ton mill operative. Before entering1 the debate both knelt and asked God's blessing. Secretary Johnson denied that coun try missions are neglected. The towns save the most money, but over half of it was expended in aiding rural mis sions. Elder F. M. Jordan, an old pioneer from beyond the.- Blue Ridge, who has labored fifty-three years in building up missions, made a speech that brought down the house. When he told of preaching to little handfuls in court houses at Winston, Statesville, Eaurin burg, Lincolnton and Asheville and today beholding powerful churches there, he cried, "Thank God, the old men who sowed .the seed have lived to see this day." He evoked the first applause of the session. Speaking of God overruling all things, he said the goats crowded into the court house at Rockingham when he preached there and he reminded the people as the goats were separated then, so God spoke of the final separation of the sheep and the goats. Elder Jordan's great triumph came just before the conclusion of the morn ing session. "Brother president," said the old white-headed pioneer, "this convention made a mistake last night staying so late and crowding Brother Willingham to the tail of the meeting.

Littleton of Albemarle, one of the delegates to the Baptist State Convention, narrowly escaped asphyx iation last night. He is the guest of a prominent Charlotte family. East night when he retired Mr. Littleton, m his zeal to effectually extinguish the gas, probably turned the stop cock on after shutting it off. When he did not .appear ' for breakfast this morning , a servant was ' sent t6' call hlm and re ceivlng. no response to her calls, she opened, the door. The delegate was stretched upon the floor in an uncon scious condition and the strdng odor of; gas proclaimed the cause. Physi cians worked with Mr. Littleton sev eral hours and at noon he recovered consciousness. He is not yet out of danger. WORK OF THE JUNTA Making Ready to Set up a Constitutional Government Panama, Dec. 11. The principal work of a political nature occupying the at tention of the juntai consists in prepa rations to call a convention and to pro ceed with the election of members of the House of Representatives. Efforts are being made to hold the convention February 3, three months after the declaration of the independence of Panama. Frederico Boyd, who recently went to the United States as a member of the special Panama commission, has resumed his place on the junta, Senor Espinoza, who was temporarily ap pointed a member of the junta retiring. Several of the Panamian scouting parties have already left here, and others will leave Panama shortly to watch the movements of the Colom bians. No reports have yet been re ceived from the parties in the field, and there is no news tending to confirm the report from La Guayra of the landing of the Colombian troops a.t the mouth of the Atrato river. A Panama gunboat and a United States gunboa,t have proceeded togeth er to David, near the western end of the Isthmus of Panama, for the pur pose of giving the people of that dis trict evidence of the fact that the Unit ed States forces are co-operating with those of Panama in mantaining peace on the isthmus. The gunboats are ex pected to return here Sunday. CONSPIRACY RECALLED Discovery of Headless Skele tons a Reminder of Old Colony Times , New Orleans, : Dec. 11. The skeletons unearthed in Canal street yesterday, some of them headless, much puzzled the antiquarians who could give no ex planation of how the coffins and skel etons came where they were found. It was explained today. There seems to be no reason to doubt that the skele tons are those of negro slaves who were executed in 1729 by the Louisiana council for having conspired to betray New Orleans to the Natchez Indians. h e t,o White .t vrt St Rtw sn.il. now Natchez.

The other negroes were beheaded and placed In conspicuous places around the town to overawe the slaves and beheaded bodies placed in cypress cof fins and buried in the ditch of fosse surrounding the city, to be unearthed 174 'years afterwards.

At the begin ning of today's session of the Senate Mr.- Culberson introduced a resolution instructing the committee on judiciary to inquire into the question of the right of the department of Panama to establish an independent government.

The latter announced Ithe Democratic position to be, that j while the party was not proud of the president's course In the matter, It (wanted an isthmian canal, and if it j could not get one when it wanted, nor as it wanted, it would accept it as I agreed upon. Upon convening the House resolved itself into a committee of the whole for the consideration of the pension appropriation bill, with Mr. Lawrence ; in the chair. Mr. Dinsmore, who was recognized for one hour, turned the debate into a talk on the republic of Panama. He said the republic was established and ithat exisls by the power of the Unit- ed States, without which power it could not exist. Nothing had been gained, he said, that could not have been gained in a straight forward and honorable way. He explained that he did not use the 'word "honorable" in nn offpnsivA spnsp tint insisted that visions of the Panama canal bill, said: "Here is the law. Did the president obey it? Everybody knows that ,he made no pretense of obeying the law. Has any excuse been offered why he did not obey it?

Indeed, Mr. Chair man, if this is true, we have come up. on evil times, when . the executive' power of the government can usurp authority and cast aside ,the express wish of congress declared in law':" Mr. Gilbert of Kentucky asked Mr. Dinsmore if in his belief there was a. republic of Panama.. ,. r Mr. Dinsmore replied that he called it the republic of Panama because the nf tVio TTnttA1 States had 1 - recognized it as a republic and would k ow- lrpen it 5, republic, metmb- Mr. Hitt of Illinois, chairman of the committee on foreign affairs, replied to the critics with such zeal as to arouse great enthusiasm "among his colleagues.

Mr. Hitt The president was required to wait a reasonable time and see If he could secure the building of the canal by way of Panama, and now gentlemen say that we want a man who will do it more speedily than President Roosevelt.' The president, while waiting a reasonable time, would 3 not submit to the blackmail that was tried to be imposed upon the people or the United States, through the mere craving and rapacity of a band of men who abused their authority. We are not half bargainers; the-American, the world around, is an open handed, free and a generous fellow. But when the open hand of bounty is met by the cliched fiat of malice and greed, the Yankee knows how to stop that busi ness. David Harum has a sentiment that might be recalled 'when a mother is trying to do you, do him, and do it first.'". Mr. Williams, replying, said the Re public of Panama was an abortion on the face of the earth, misbegotten, hog-born; and In the language of Wil liam Shakespeare, "ditch-delivered"; and the fact was that the revolution which gave birth to it was known be-, forehand and abided at Paris and Washington. Whatever might have been his views previously. Mr.. Wil liams confessed that since hearing Mr. Hitt he was convinced that the most deliberate, well thought out thing In hum&.n history v.as'the birth of the new republic and our recognition of .it. If the president was not going to obey the words of the law, and after a reasonable time, enter into negotia tions with Costa Rica and Nicaragua, "why then, in God's name, hurry; up your canal."
