Conventl.ii Meets lor the First
Time In the Town Where It
Was Organized Dr. Mur-h
Again Elected President.
On Weduesday the Baptist State
! (.'on vent ion, representing 150,000 inem-
bers, met iu Greenville.
The con volition was organized iu
I lfMO at Greenville. For the first time
since then it is in session there. A brief
comparative retrospect may therefore
Le interesting.
Iu 18SU its active supporters num
bered but a handful; in 1898 it rejoices
iu tbe love and support of thousands.
Then there were only three associa
tions in co-operation iu this work; now
there are tifty-tive. Then there were
only 272 Baptist churches iu the whole
state; now there are 2,600. Then only
l,r),000 Baptists; now a quarter of a
million. In the first year of the con
vention's history the total amount of
missionary contributions was only
HI)A.7Hj; now, according to the report
of the couventi-m's treasurer, we have
contributed this year to missions
$,0,000. Then only four missiouailcs
were at work iu state missions; now
10M. Then Wake Forest College existed
only as a dream, according to many
impossible oi realization; now that
dream lias been carved into fourspleu
did buildings of bricks, a faculty num
bering twelve mcmbers.a student body
of about ii Hi, and an endowment of
over $200,000. Then, no thought of
female education; now, the Baptist
Female .Ciiiversily soon to lie opened
to the women of the state, the t'liowan
Fema'e Institute with its unequalled
hislorv und the popular seminary at
Oxfoid. Then, no Baptist school for
secondary education; now -Iii acade
mies and high schools Iu direct co
operation with Wake Forest College
owned iu controlled by Baptists. The
retrospect can but awaken iu all our
hearts a deep feeliug of gratitude to
Uod for what under His guidance we
have been permitted to accomplish for
the cause of the gospel. And it should
Umpire us as we are about to enter the
oeu door of a new ceutury to prets
forward with coufideuee and zeal In
the fulfillment of our mlsssiou iu t lie
world.
'NIK Ot'KNINO BKHSION
The Baptist State Convention opened
Willi the singing of "All Hall the
Power of Jos us Name." Tjjjb vtner
abie Or R R Overby led iu fervent
prayer. The introductory sermon was
preached by the distinguished pastor
of the church at Elizabeth City, Hjv
W 8 Peniek, D 1). His text was the
sixtii chapter of Acts, verses 2 to 7; his
subject "The (Simplicity and the Power
of the Apostolic Church." Hi plea
whs for release from the modern secu
larization of the church and the miii
istry and for the recovery of I lie method
and power of I lie a pontics.
Following the sermon, l)r H II
Marsh, of Oxford, called thw conven
tion together for the eighth time and
the work of organization commenced.
Messrs Bailey, Hhaw, Itagsdata, Hun
ter, Wilder, I'arker and Pittman were
appointed the committee to euioll.
One liuudred aud thirty delegates were
found present.
Dr K 11 Marsh was uuanimously re
elected president; Noah Biggs, W B
Potest and Uev B Johnson, vice-presidents;
Joliu K While, corresponding
secretary; J I) Bousbali, treasurer;
Walter Durham, auditor, succeeding W
N Jones, who declined re election.
The addrest of welcome, gracious
aud eloquent, was offered by Pastor
Kelzer, and Bev J 11 Hardaway gave a
response that was a gem of eloquence
and feeling, lie said: "We have cunio
back to our Belhleham. We are here
where those men, guided of Uod, as
were those wise men of old, stood
sixty-eight years ago over the cradle of
the Baptist Convention. Could Boss,
MclJaniel aud Meredith, aud Hkiuuer
aud Waitt behold from the walls of
heaven the growth of the labor of their
bauds, they would exclaim, "What
hath God wrought!" And now, with
faces to the sunrise, with eyes eager for j
the future, we lay our hands to the
work aud cry, "Even so, come Lord I
Jesus."
(sale of the C. V. & Y. V.
Considerable J n terest U bei ug ma u I-
fested in the sale of the Cape Fear s
Yadkin Valley railroad oj tbe 20th
lost. The people of Greensboro are
specially interested In this sale, for up
on it's result depends much of tbe future
prosperity oj this section. The South
ern aud the Seaboard Air Line are each
known to want the road, and John Gill
receiver of tbe road, and the Atlantic
Coast Line have been mentioned
among the probable bidders. But the
latest report is that tbe Beading rail
road will bid for the property when it
is put up for sale. Tbe Beading is one
of the moat important trunk Hues run
uing through Pennsylvania, and by
purchasing the O. F'& Y. V. would
have a through line from Wilmington
to Philadelphia, as It owns or controls
the connecting links made by the
Norfolk k Western railroad Had the
Roanoke A Southern, which baa a
junction with the C. F. & Y. V. at
Waluu C- ve. T..I deal .utd be
hailed w ith delight by our people and
would be of inestimable value to the
the business interests of this sec
tion. ( )f course all this talk is but specula
tion and we fear thechauceaare in favor
of the Southern gaining control of the
road. This would choke off, tor a time
at least, all competition and would
likely prove detrimental to the com
mercial interests of Greeuaboro and
orlu r towns along the hue of the C' F.
& V. V. railroad. Record.
DKLlGllTFl'L SOCIAL
Given at the Home of Mr. und
Mrs. K.'c. Cllnartl.
Lust night at the hospitable home of
Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Cliuard, the Cal
vaiy Christian Endeavor Society w as
treated by the social committee to a
most enjoyable "newspaper social."
Each guest upon arriving was fouud to
be ornamented with oue or more arti
cles of attire made out of newspaper
aud crepe paper, or else was ;at ouce
decorated by the committee, with spe
cial care. Caps, bows, ribbons, ueck
tiee.etc, ullof paper, printed and other
wise, gave considerable variety to the
general appearance of the company.
A programme of recitations aud
musical selections enlivened the even
ing, and a special fjature of t lie octa
sion was the formation of the names
of prominent newspapers and maga
zines, w llli letters handed out t rau
domtothe guests. Among these we
noticed, Tut: Jochnai,, "The Sentinel,
Cosmopolitan, Recreation, etc.
The scene that followed the sigual
to begin resembled the New York
Slock Exchange in its most -exciting
day, u groups were quickly formed
and hitters and words compared, until
suddenly "we've got il" was heard
from one group and there w as a chance
to rest aud kcI ready lor something
else.
BefrcHlimeiits of cullee and cake were
served, and iu fact, nothing luat the
forethought of the committee and the
hosts could biiggest was left undoue.
Besides the members of the society,
there were present also, a number of
invited guests, and all sincerely pro
nounced the occasion one of rare pleas
ure and recreation.
Hon. F. M. Simmons lias consented
to speak at tiie White Man's Club

VrnC. Shirley,
j One of the most delightful musicale
' recitals that the patrous sud friends of
I that must exellent seat of leuriiing,
i Salem Female Academy, have ever
j witnessed was given lu the Academy
Chapel last evenkg by the musical
students under tbe able direction of
l'rof H A Shirley. It was the first pri
vate complimentary recital of the year
and the large number of people that
was crowded iulo Che hall gave implicit
evidence that every number of the
entire program was both thoroughly
j and delightfully appreciated.
! It would be Impoisible, for lack of
j space, to speak separately of each
number of the program aud do justice
to the rendition of the same, but suit! 'e
it to say that each and every number
on the program was most excellently
produced. However, we cannot help
but speak particularly of "Tbe Sleigh
Ride" cliorus, and the unusual w hist
ling in It by Miss L Peruet. It wbm
one of the most delightfully received
uumbcrs of tbe evening.
The piauo duo, "Festival Sounds,"
by Misses Jeter and Wright, wus an
other prominent number aud the exe
cution by them not only mirrored their
rapid progress in the uiusieale art but
ali-o reflected gr.at credit to tbe pains
taking lust ruction received from the
musicale instructors of thai institution.
The other students participating in
the musicale were: Misses Sprunt, Mc
Nutt, Nellie Wade, Leonora Johnson,
E Allen, A Sloan, Vance, Bldgood, 11

All those who were fortunate enough
to be the honored hearers are loud iu
lu their praise of the work being done
by the faithful members of the Acad emy

soon be given another musicale feast
of the same character.

force and ell'evt. Those who heard him
enjoyed It. Bev J B Smith opened the

high compliment. Continuing, hesaid:
"Some time ago, w lieu t he papers of
the stute, and the people at lurge begun
to advocate (lie erection of a marble
memorial to the memory of Lieuleiiuut
Sliipp, I began to formulate, in my
mind, a plan by which the colored peo
ple of this stale might express their
appreciation of this great and gallant
officer of (lie South, who chose to lead
a negro regiment in the lute war with
Hpaiu. Tbe project of a Shipp Memo

points to iaud, to bread and butter.
The negro should learn to buy laud und
to farm intelligently. He should learn
to live well on ten acres instead of half

the Anglo-Saxon comes from his desire
and ability to secure aud hold laud.
(3) it fu.uishes a basis for moral union
