In the discussion of the matters un der consideration it -was stated that all of the asylums of the State are full, and some of them crowded.

C, Nov. 12. The train leaving Raleigh Tuesday morning for Shelby took a large dele gation for the Convention. At many stations on the way other persons joined the number, so that when the train reached Shelby the Baptists of North Carolina seemed well repre sented. Homes had been previously assigned, and at the depot hacks and carriages were in waiting to take the delegates to their respective places. Some of the Raleigh brethren inclu ding Dr. Bailey, W. N. Jones, Hon. G. W. Sanderlin and the writer, were BOon comfortably located at Cleveland fanrinra a deservedly famous and x - oi -beautiiul resort. At 10 o'clock Wednesday morning Col. L. L. Polk called the Convention to order, and after vsinging by the choir of the church, Rev. H. W. Bat tie conducted the devotional exer cises The committee on credentials reported the attendance of 116 dele gates, being twice the number in at tendance at the beginning of the uonventiou in Henderson one year ago. The Convention at once went into the election of its officers, and al thor.gh no nominations were made, it was soon evident that L L. Polk, G W. Sanderlin, Dr. Pritchard and W. A. Graham were on the minds of the brethren for that honor. It took the fourth ballot to decide the question, when Col. L. L. Polk was the choice of the Convention, and his election was made unanimous. Upon taking the chair Col. Polk made a few appropriate remarks. which were well received. The other officers of the Convention are : Vice-Presidents, Hon. G. W. San derlin, W. A. Graham and Dr. Pritch ard ; Recording Secretaries,. N. B Broughton and Rev. G. W. Green Treasurer, J. D. Boushall; Auditor, W. N. Jones ; Corresponding Secreta ry, Rev. C. Durham, D. D.; Trustees Dr. Durham, C. M. Cooke, W. H. Pace T. H. Briggs and L. R. Mills. After the election of the officers Rev T. P. Bell, of Richmond, Va., was in troduced to the Convention; also Drs, Nelson and Mitchell. The pastor of the Baptist church of She' by, Rev. G. P. Hamrick, in happy speech, extended a cordial in vitation to tjhe Convention, and Prof, j. is. uanyie, or wake i'orest College in behalf of the Convention, made a fitting response. This was followed by the reading of the report of the Corresponding Secretary covering the work during the year in State Mis' sions, Home Missions, Foreign Mis sions, Sunday Schools nd also the Woman's Central Committee. The report was one of great encourage ment, showing large gains and great advances in all departments of the work. As Dr. Durham's report is the most important of any presented to the Convention, we may in another letter call attention to a few important matters and of general interest men tioned therein. After the announcement of several committees the Convention adjourn' ed until 7 o'clock at night. Tuesday night the church was filled to its utmost capacity, many persons standing, not being able to find seats The Convention sermon was preached by the Rev. T. H. Pritchard, D. D. who selected for his text Isaiah 43:10, "Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord The sermon set forth the importance of God's people bearing faithful wit ness to divine truth and the spirit in which it should be done.' The first day closes exceedingly wel for the Convention, each train having brought large accessions to the body, and all present seem united in press ing forward the good work of extend ing the kingdom of our Lord through out every part of our beloved State and to the lands afar off.
