As is well known, the chamber of commerce, the board of aldermen, the merchants' association, he industrial club and other organi zations have entered into concerted nrtion for the purpose of providing homes for all and for other public mnveniencies. , In the matter of securing homes for visitors Mr. John A.

He will first cover the section :yir.g south of Hillsboro and west of Favettevllle streets. He expects to call at every home which would prob-j nhly be willing to assist in entertain ing the visitors to the state fair, and It is hoped that at each house he will meet with a hearty welcome and a ready response in this matter.

The colored Baptists of North Caro lina held their State Sunday School Convention at Halifax last week, and many of the prominent colored people of Raleigh attended. Rev. S. N. Vass, southern secretary of the American Baptist Publication Society, reports a most successful ses sion and much progress made during the past year. Rev. X. F. Roberts, D. D., of this city was absent on account of the ill ness of his wife, but his address as president was read by Dr. R. I. wai- den, "vice-president, and Dr. Roberts was, under a suspension of the rules, unanimously re-elected president for another year and the secretary ordered to so wire him and express the sym pathy of the convention. There were some hundred or more delegates present from-all parrs of the state, and. . they all reported progress on their fields. The convention raised during the year more than a thousand dollars for mission work. There are two missionaries employed for the state, and these are assisted by the American Baptist Publication Society, which organized this convention years ago.

Counsel for the four State Hospital attendants charged with the killing of Thomas H.

Park, city. This will avoid the neces sity of his calling, and will greatly racilitate the work in hand. If vou do not mall the coupon, please have it ready-to hand to Mr. Park when he calls, leaving it with some one if you are absent. The time . is short and we must act quickly: Name " Residence No. Street Telephone No. System .... Lodgings furnished for how many P.ate rer day S Two meals and lodging furnished for how many?.... Rate per day One of the most-, difficult problems that confronts the committee is that of ample facilities for feeding the people, especially on Thursday of fair week. Of course there will be any number of eating houses and refresh ment stands out at the fair grounas, m the midway and in the fair build ing?, but there will' be many hundred of visitors who must have their meals in town and the regular eating restau rants and cafes can not begin to meet the demand. It i& understood that the board of aldermen will be asked to H-.onc r anv oersons who J-i iiv.'"'" will run lunch stands, hand wagons, etc., especially on . Thursday.

FOUR NEW CHARTERS FREE DISTRIBUTION Inoculated Seed of Nitrogen Gather ing Crops Sent to Farmers , Mr. Gerald McCarthy, etate biologist, 5n a circular letter,"says: "The North Carolina Department of imiihirn will, during the month of October, distribute among the farmers af the state for experimental purposes imall lots of seed of the following legu minous crops, the seed being in each rase ready inoculated with the nitro-sen-flxing germ and suitable or imme diate planting without, urther treat ment: The crops to be experimented with are as follows: Alfalfa, Burr Clo-i-er, Rand Vetch? and Crimson Clover. "The samplessent out will suffice to bow a strip of land 4x68 feet, or one square rod. As a control test, a small er quantity of the same seed uninoeu lated will be sent also. "Applications will be received for any one of the above named seeds or for ill four kinds, but not more than one f ample - of one kind will be sent to one Replicant. Applicants must enclose with application twenty cents in post age stamps for each kind of seed they "Applicants for these seeds must also send to the undersigned asample of about one-half pound of surface son from the field upon which they pro pose to sow these seeds. This- sampje should be made up from mixed lots or Mil taken from different parts of the field. The soil sample is required to The two missionaries for the past year are Revs. G. -W. Moore and J. "W. Faulk, and the additional man will "be Rev. B. B. Hill. It was decided at Halifax also to place a woman on the "field this year, and Miss Julia Amee was selected to fill this position as field primary worker. A prominent feature of the program at Halifax -was the institute work con ducted by Rev. S. N. Vass at each session as an object lesson in methods of teaching, and this has greatly stim ulated normal class work and the study of the Bible in the state. The convention passed many impor- tn- fccnlntlnno rn ft DnOintinST a strong committee to call upon the gov ernor in the interest of the educational work done by the state for the colored people.. Another resolution called upon the colored Baptists to do their Sunday school work through their own denom inational conventions, and this last was adopted by a rising vote and was car ried unanimously. . The Baptist Young People's Union State convention also met 'at Halifax at the same time and place and held one of the best sessions in its history, and decided to place a. state organizer on the field, and Prof. W. H. KnucKies was elected to the position. j. j Young of Charlotte is president. Col. J. H. Young of Raleigh is treas urer of the State Sunday School Con vention and took an active part in the deliberations, as did Prof. A. W. Pe gues. Dr. J. A. Whitted, Dr.-E. K. TV TV Coleman, A. J . Rogers. Dr. J. E. Shepard, Dr. R. I Walde'n. Prof. W. H. Knuckles- and many others . of the most prominent negroes in the state. These conVentions are auxilliary to the regular state sonvention, which meets in November, but they do a great work. The Sunday schools raise 0 r.?irlerable sum of money to help educate worthy colored girls at Shaw University, and it was decided to help twentv of them next year. The Sunday school body also main tains a colored Sunday school litera ture supply store at Raleigh, conducted by Dr. Pegues, and they report prog ress also. Effort was made as usual each year hn,-,PA the time, but without suc- res The next session will convene TTranklinton, Septemoer, xwo. Colored Baptists are quite numerous in this state, and there are more uil a hundred and fifty thousand of them and their work and movements are of general interest. Shaw University and the -Vmerican Baptist Publication So cietv represented 'by" Rev. S. N. .Vass in all the southern r.tates, have greatly helped this people, and they are among the be-t of their race in the state.

"THE SIN OF FROFANITY" "Destroys One's Regard for Sacred Things," Says Dr. Tyree "The Sin of Profanity" was the sub ject of an able sermon by Rev. VI. C. Tyree, IX D., .in the First "Baptist church Sunday night. In discussing this sin Dr. Tyree said in part: -1 "Profanity means the speaking of things that are sacred in an irrever ent, way. It includes swearing, cursing, and blasmpheming. Profanity Is utter ly useless, needless and foolish. It is Indecent, vulgar auC coarse. But worse than ell, it is great sin. It Is the reckless expression of anger. wrath and malice. It is irreverent and does more than anything else to de stroy one's reverence or regard for sacred things. Reverence is the crown ing trait of- rational beings, is the chief distinction between man and the brute creation, and is the soil out of which all moral excellence L grows. Profanity is a sin because it is a vio lation of a positive commandment and law of God. Ten things have been designated by God as always sinful, in the ten commandments, and pro fanity, the taking of God's name in vain, is one of the ten. It is put here and elsewhere in the Bible in the same category with stealing, adultery and murder. ; It is not only a violation of one of God's solemn laws, but a more aggravating violation, in one sense, than any other, for it deals more directly with God Himself than other sins. It is a contemptuous use of God's name. It defies and mocks and belittles God. It is high treason against the King himself. This is a great sin in any, but an awful sin in a professing Christian or church mem . ber. If one says he swears from habit and thoughtlessly, this does not miti I gate but aggravates the guilt, because 1 if one swears without anger or wrath he commits the great sin with less provocation." 1.31 - Take the burn out; heals the wound; cures the pain.
