Of course Greensboro took the confer ence! It will take anything good that's coming or going. Russian ."sources" seem to think that General Kuroki doesn't know what he is talking about. They are holding cotton and corn fcarnivals down south, and they are said to be the biggest things ever. It' is a close choice between Debs find "Watson, but Debs is in the lead.

McKelway, former edi tor of the Charlotte News, now assist ant secretary of the National Child La bor Committee, was in the city yester day and called at the sanctum of The Post. The editor personally regrets that be was not in to meet the visitor. It is given out in a paragraph: "It is Said now that Bryan will never again be a candidate for the presidency." Who said so? Judge Parker said he wouldn't; and Mr. Roosevelt has said lie wouldn't, but tell us who said Mr. Bryan wouldn't. No, honest, we are riot joking. Who said so?

When It Avas charged in the cam- Jpaign that Republican managers had j changed the state platform adopted by. state. In the August number Asso I their convention, Chairman Rollins ; ciate Justice Henry Groves Connor ' brushed the charge aside as a Demo-J contributed a valuable article on "The cratic lie The Morning Post imme- diately produced the proof, which was widely published over several papers under double column headlines, and Chairman Rollins was dumb as an oyster. Republican-papers were watched closely and never a i word was said about it a silent ad ! mission that The Post knew what It was talking- about and had told the trutn. A few days after the election, when only verbal and incomplete returns were in. and many counties still in that the doubt, The Post estimated Republicans would have about tne same representation in the legislature they had two yeai's ago. Almost in- stantlv Chairman Rollins wired; couldn't even wait to write that The Post was in error, and claimed a gain of seven members ovr two years ago. See the point? In the former in stnnce, we. charged, pointedly and pos itively, a breach of faith, an act of perfidy, on the part of the Republican managers, and they allowed the charge to go uncontradicted and unchalleng ed. In the latter case we merely gave nn estimate based on incomplete re turns (which, by the way, was neaiiy correct) and because Mr. Rollins es timate was different, and because our figures did not give the Republicans credit for the gains they expected, the chairman quickly rushes down with a "correction," which we very cheerfully printed. Of course, this is all a matter ol small moment now, but as we rush along it is well enough to reach back, 1 and, as Uncle Remus would say, "straighten out all de kinks dcit will b'ar straightenin' " HISTORY OF GREAT EVENTS In their efforts to collect and pre serve history of great events in North Carolina's early days, about which our people have long been too careless, the Daughters of the Revolution are deserving of high praise and commen dation. The time will come when the work these noble and patriotic women are doing will be more generally rec ognized and appreciated; and when that time comes it will be deplored that many of those who could have helped in this work did not do so. History has been made in North Carolina from the moment this terri tory was discovered and settled by the white man, and it is a lasting shame that so little of it has been recorded for permanent preservation. The Daughters of the Revolution have been- instrumental m digging up great deal that in a few years would have been gone beyond the power of man to recall. They are not only in terested in having recorded " dates and facts of . the long ago, deeds of pa triotism and heroism of our early set tlers, but they are considering ways and means for the protection of the old records which now lie packed away in garrets and storage rooms where they are exposed to destruction by fire or damage by water. They will have something1 to say to the legisla tors about better protection for these old records, and, realizing something of the value and. importance of the state's history to coming generations, we do not hesitate to urge the legisla ture to give the matter thoughtfu: consideration.. Going back to the research inaugu rated for last and decaying history, we refer to the publication of the North Carolina Booklet, two copies or which have been left on our desk by jMrs. E. E. Moffitt, secretary of the North Carolina Society Daughters or the Revolution. The Booklet is'a neit monthly publication carrying this preface, written by Mrs. D. H. Hill, who was regent of the Society in 1902, and whose interest in the work ha been a constant source of inspiration to others: "The object of the North Carolina Booklet is to erect a suitable memo rial to the patriotic women who com posed the "Edenton Tea Party." These stout-hearted women are ev ery -wax worthy of admiration. On October 23. 1774, seven months before the defiant farmers of Mecklenburg had been aroused to the point of sign- ins their Declaration of Independence,1 nearly twenty months , before the dec-j laration made by the gentlemen com- posing the vestry of St. Paul's church, , Edenton, nearly two years before Jef-of ferson penned the immortal National : . - Declaration, these daring women, sol emnly subscribed to a document af i mining iii.n iiicj muu;u use iiu miKjc " "S u;U to the former competent and untiring faithful editors, and to ask for the new1 management the hearty sunport of nl' .

JAMES SPRUNT MONOGRAPH NO. 5 "We have just received from the Uni versity of North Carolina the James Sprunt Monograph No. 5, being the minutes of the Kehukee Association of the Primitive Baptists, 1769 '77. They contain the first organization of the association, its rules, members and officers; also the account of the sub sequent meetings to 1777. The original was carried to Tennessee by Joel Fort, a member, and a copy was given by his descendants, Mr. Joel B. Fort, a lawyer in that state, to Dr. H. B. Battle, who transferred it to the uni versity. From this publication may be seen the names of the leaders of the great Baptist denomination in eastern North Carolina at a most criti cal period in our history. Burkitt and Read, in writing their history of the Kehukee Association, evidently ever saw these minutes. The questions on subjects of morals and social conduct, and the frank answers thereto, are of especial importance. Among other things it will be seen that lotteries were denounced as gambling at a time when they were used for building schools and even churches. A letter from Mr. Joel B. Fort giv ing the history of the document is published. Among other things we find the surprising statement that Andrew Jackson, in L89, acted as guard to the settlers from the moun tains to their destination west of Nashville. Dr. Kemp P. Battle has, as in the prior Sprunt Monograph, published an introduction and notes illustrating the text. After reading this - icgraph the reader will have increased respect for the sincerity, piety, thoughtfulness and wisdom of our ancestors of the Revolutionary period. The following is the introduction written by Dr. Battle. It is interest ing: The history of the Kehukee Baptist Association was first published in 1803 by Elders Lemuel Burkitt and Jesse Read, minister of the gospel in Northampton and Halifax counties in North Carolina. It was republish ed in 1834 by Elder Joseph Biggs, pas tor of the Baptist church at Skewar key, under the supervision of a com mittee appointed oy me assutiiiuuu, , -m .. J 1 1 i.

We are fortunate in having procured them from a descend ant of one of the early members re siding in Robertson county, Tennessee. We print them with the old-time spell ing. ' According to Burkitt and Read's book most of the churches before they were united in an association were "General Baptists," adhering o Free will doctrines, under the preaching of Elders Paul Palmer and Joseph Par ker and their successors. Then the Philadelphia Baptist Association sent two of their ministers, Vanhorn and Miller, of New Jersey, to visit North Carolina. They and their followers were called New Lights.. They were generally cordially received. Those who believed in their doctrines adopt ed the confession of faith published in London in 1689, containing 32 arti cles, the foundation of the Philadel phia and the Charleston associations. By means of these ministers the greater part of the North Carolina Baptists became Regulars. The churches thus reformed entered into the Kehukee . Association in the year 1769. Burkitt and Read mention as members some who were not present in the first organization, viz., Elders John Thomas, John Burges, William Burges, Charles Daniel, William Wal ker, Thomas Pope and Henry Abbott. Kehukee meeting-house was on a creek of the same name in the southeastern part of Halifax .county, empyting into the Roanoke. , The Kehukee - Association is corn- POSed Of those HOW knnun ac PvimiH,-,, Baptists. In 1826 those known as Reformed Baptists issued a circular which ,vas tS ?he chutes the association. In 1827 at the meptin nf .?," " .,. he meeting of he association, according to Elder Joseph Biggs, "it was agreed that we discard all missionary socie ties. Bible societies and . theological seminaries and the .'practices hereto fore resorted to for'their support, in begging money from the public." 'believing these societies and institu tions to be the inventions of men and not warranted from the word of God." Non-fellowship was also declared against joiningr the -fvatomft,. e Masons. . The firt ctou . . . l" tuiive ut nn ot t ha who are sometimes called the Mission- ,ry Baptists was held at Greenville 5n 1803. weannie in t T . ... i jraiii irotn Kev. Pleasant D Gold " Honored Elder, or Drea ob er, of :this denomination, that the first perils, the remedies, and the safe Kehukee church was about three miles guards of the situation. And he speaks east of Scotland Neck. About fifteen years ago the old house wa's sold and a new church "built about one mile from that town. There are now about forty churches in the Kehukee Asso ciation. Elder Silvester Hassell is the moderator. The territory includes Nash, Edgecombe, Halifax, part of Pitt, Washington, Beaufort, Hyde, Tyrrell and Pasquotank. Some of the leading preachers, or elders at present are Elders Silvester Hassell, G. D. Roberson, Samuel Moore, M. T. Lawrence (a grandson of Elder Joshua Lawrence), N. H. Harrison, Charles Meats, M. B. "Willeford, Jor dan Johnson and J. D. Armstrong. Mr. Gold is not a member of this associa tion, but has been pastor of the church at the Falls of Tar River for thirty years. The Kehukee is the oldest associa tion of the Primitive Baptists in North Carolina and one of the oldest in the United States, those of Philadelphia and Charleston only being older. The annual college debate for the sil ver cup, offered by the Raleigh Cham ber of Commerce, this year, will be be tween Wake Forest and Richmond Col lege. The contest will be held in the academy of music in this city Thanks giving night, November 24. The con test will be an interesting one, and the young men, representatives of the two colleges, will be encouraged by the presence of a large audience. The Boat Was Full (Wilmington Star.) The morning after the election we met an old soak, who held out his hand and said: "Gimme the "price of a drink; I lost everything I had on Parker!" As our briny tears over flowed into his handy palm he went off to "work the other side," with the air of one who painfully realized that we were also in it when Cortelyou rocked the boat. Correction of an Error To the Editor of The Morning Post: I wish to personally, and in behalf of my own people, thank you for pub lishing the statement written by my self in a recent issue of your excel lent paper. But in looking over the reports again, I find that by some means one mistake was made in my calculations: I find that while the col ored people have increased the value of their property about 50 per cent, in eight years our white neighbors have increased their property valua tion about 32 per cent, instead of 18 per cent, as stated in my article. No one has called ray attention to this mistake, but it was discovered by my self afterward, and I hasten to . ask you to correct it. I wish also to say that the great majority of us have great confidence in the white people of North Carolina' and feet that what is right will, surely be done by the colored people espe cially in the matter of education. I am getting to believe that whereas there has been a considerable decrease in the per capita apportionment to colored children during the administration of Governor Aycock. Governor-elect Glenn will rather help us more than make a further cut. I am sure that we fully appreciate the kindly disposition of such papers as The Morning Post, and ! feel that the people of the state are eq-uaiiy kindlv disposed toward our people. North Carolina is doing more for the care of unfortunate colored people than any other state, and I am sure that those who are so unfortunate as not to be able to educate themselves will be as well provided for as all other unfortunates of our race. Yours truly, S. N. VASS. Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 19. Booker Washington's Advice - ' (Washington Post.) Prof. Booker T. Washington, head of the Tuskegee (Ala.) Institute, un doubtedly gives the people of his race most excellent advice. Referring to certain predictions that the negroes, as a class, would; lose their heads over the elections -df the 8th instant, imagine they . had done it all and promptly "become pompous, self-assertive, and generally offensive" to the rest of the population. Prof. Washing ton, a few days ago, published the following appeal to the colored people at large: "With all the earnestness that I can command, I want to urge our people i in every part of the country to dis appoint those who have made such predictions by leading a life of in creased usefulness, soberness, and sim plicity, remembering, as I have often exhorted before, that in the long run it is to the certain and fundamental ideas of growth in property, intelli gence, and high Christian character, together with the cultivation of friend ly relations with our neighbors of all races, that we must look for our ulti mate success. "The masses of our people are to dwell for all time here in the south. ,t limt our aesiiny muse v,, e can omy sui- UJ t'"-iaun or those about us." it is, as we hvp sirt mt vpDi. lent advice, timely and much needeu. ealized. j as Prof. Washington doubtless rea ll,uccu- Jl- is- exactly such a.-: might . have been expected, for the Tuskegee educator is always admira !" in re- . spect of wise counsel and oppoutune j deliverance. If the colored peopl? of f course, we mean the "educated" ! wquld do as Booker Washington says, j dismissing entirely ill thought of his! personal example, the whole country would have occasion to thank him 'for a aisimct and prf'-el-ss boon, lie has the unerrinrr in- -t of nrnnrlotv 1:1 this regard. Jie "ir.sews exactly , wiiat i is good for. the negro "and for the .- j rial structure of. vrhich he is a. psri. 1 He realizes perfectly the facets,- the ever-with an enlightened inspiration, and unaswerable losric. Whatever we have said of this re markable man by way of criticism has been inspired by a prophetic apprehen sion that the people of his race might attach more significance to his asso ciation with whites at the north than to the abstract counsels which those associations seem to divest of their sincerity and force. The colored peo ple are credulous enough in one way, but .curiously observant in another, and nothing is more notorious than the fact that they subject members of their own race to a far more vigi lant and exacting standard of consis tency than they do the whites. We hope they will be content to- follow Prof. Washington's advice which is sound and altogether unassailable at every point and overlook or indul gently construe the purely personal acts which may appear discordant. Very possibly it may so turn out, though we could wish, for his own sake and for the cause to which he professes such devotion, that his precept and example harmonized. Geronimo, the noted Apache chief, has learned to read, and can write his name. He is exceedingly proud of his accomplishments.
