(Special to The Times) , Wadesboro, N. C, Dec 8 The sec ond day's session of the Baptist State Convention opened with the largest attendance' In the history of the con vention. 'Livingston Johnson read ' the report of the state board, showing an Increase of J2.000 in offerings during the year with a balanf $ in the treasury of S 4 00.' 1 The board recommends an advance of $5,000 for next year. Last night the- convention organis ed by the election of W. C. Dowd, of ! Charlotte, president; N. B. Brough-f ton, secretary; Walters Durham, treasurer, and Rev. K. T. Watklns, of Ooldsboro, preached the annual ser mon to a great audience. l In the pastor's conference this af ternoon, the only incident out of the expectancy came during the dlscus ' ion of the subject of church letters. JBvery atrthh 4as & covenant taKen by, metpbrf ".w41ch,. cofntains this clause: , W , ' : "We .moreover engage,, that when w remove from his place, we will as poon as possible,-unite with some other churah, when we may carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God's word." In the discussion the fact was brought but that in many Instances church members would not Bpeedily change their membership and that sometimes the pastors themselves were negligent 1n the matter. Rev. Mr. Dowd Introduced a resolution . urging pastors to persuade all1 mem-. bers of their churches to take their. letters' from the churches when they i leaVe and place them in the church where they -locate. The resolution provoked opposition and one pastor stated that he would not be plei to any such aotlon. When the vote was taken th resolution was lost.

Corporations issue bonds to expedite improvements,, why should not our government? But my advice to you is not to urge congress for a bond issue before you have pledged and committed to to the deeper waterways policy. Your ef forts at the coming session should be directed to securing this declaration from congress. Then the bond Issue, or at least adequate appropriations, according to the condition of the na tional revenues, is sure to come. "Do something practical by tak ing what material you have. - I am aware that many men Jn this country favor more than a nine-foot channel from Cairo to the gulf of the Missis sippi river. But It must be remem bered that the nine-foot channel must come before the 14-foot, channel Furthermore, the army engineers have assured me that if the banks of the Mississippi are properly protect ed and confined, no one can tell what the ultimate depth will be from pure ly-natural causes. I have great faith In the army engineers. I count It a great national fortune that our Pana ma Canal project was finally placed in charge of our army experts.

Ariz, re para tion from the railroads for the excess freight charges that will run into th hundreds of thousands of dollars shbuld their contention be sustained are demanded by the complainants. The principal railroads of those named as defendants are the Halthuore & Ohio, the Rock Island, the Chicago &'Erie, and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul. The Smelters claim that the railroad defendants on various car loads of coke from the fields of Pennsylvania and W est Virginia shipped to them via Chicago have charged for that portion of the through rate from the coal fields ul' Chicago a rate of J2.6ii a ton. In view of (In tact that the steel trust only pavs $-."" a ton for the coke hauled from the coal fields of their plant at Snutli Chicago the smelters declare hat he action of the railroads is unjust, un reasonable and discriminatory. Upon the outcome of those two cases depends the future course of munv of the copper smelting concerns of tin west who, upon the sunn: grounds for complaint, contemplate proceedings for heavy i-epnralion from the rail roads, for excess freight charges on shipments of coke.

Washington, Dee. 8 Senator Uailey of Texas, has virtually told his friends that he cannot, accept the chairman ship of the democratic eaucus, but this does not mean that he is not the leader of the minority. Tho best evi dence that he is regarded as the lead er was the conversation he had yes terday with Senator Hale, the titular leader of the minority. Mr. Hale had moved that when the senate adjourned it would do so to meet Friday. Mr. Jiailey asked if it. was the inten tion then to adjourn from Friday until Monday. Mr. Hale replied that he diil nut know what the senate would do. The Texas ienatof said he under stand that, huf as number of senators had asked him about the matter as they had some matters requiring at tention, and if the program was to adjourn from Friday until Monday it would not be necessary for them to come to the senate. Mr. Halo reluctantly admitted that was the program. . Mrs. Land a Suicide. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Atlanta, Dec.

The news of the death of Richard Beverly Raney, which occurred at his home in this city this afternoon at 1 o'clock, will be received with sorrow, not only by the citizens of Raleigh but of the entire state. He had only been ill since last Saturday, when he went home suffering with a slight cold. Yesterday he had a stroke of paralysis, from which he never ral lied, death coming peacefully this af ternoon. He leaves a widow, who was Miss Kate Whiting Denson, and three children: Margaret Denson Raney, aged 5; Richard Beverly Raney, Jr., aged 3, and Catherine Baird Raney,' aged 2 months. .. The funeral willl probably take place tomorrow, though' the . arrange ments have not yet been maide. , ; -The news of-Jffr.- RatiSyioatJ spread over the city, and soon there was a constant stream of callers at the residence to offer sympathy to the bereaved family. It Is seldom that a death causes as much genuine' sorrow as has been shown , since th news of Mr. Raney's death became known. People In all walks of life loved him, and the expressions of grief that are heard are conclusive ev idence of the esteem in which he was held. He was a great big-hearted man, and his many benefactions show what manner of man he was. The Olivia Raney Library, erected by him in honor of his first wife at a cost of over $40,000 and presented to Raleigh, stands as a monument to his generosity. His business life was clean; his home life all that a loving husband and father could make; and In all his dealings with mankind, he showed himself to be a man In the truest sense of that word. Truly, he has lived to a purpose :" Mr. Raney would have been fifty, years old had he lived until February 7, 11110. He had many useful years In front of him had he lived out his al lotted time. He ha,d been successful in his business and had accumulated considerable of this world's goods, but he never used his property for self alone, all being benefitted by it. This property was not gained by any in heritance, but was the result of straight forward, honest business qual ifications. :, , Brief History of His Life.
