It is prac tically impossible to cross the pro- park otherwise than on horse back or on foot, there being no transverse highway completed.

Barrett ,of Gastonia, one of the leading Baptist ministers of the state, made their appearance on the tioor of the convention this evening, bejng handed out promis cously to the delegates.

Tom Rost in Greensboro News. Raleigh, Xov. 17.—Italeigh folks listen to Charlotte for an explosion ( any moment, for friends of the Rev. .T. S. Retts admit that he is in the j ‘ Queen City, that he has a memorial I against the teaching of evolution in i Baptist schools and demanding the j dismissal of all offenders. Mr. Betts asked to go to t'lie state convention many weeks ago. Attor- ! ney Bob Simms laughingly told him \ lie might go if he “would behave him-1 self.” Mr. Bettis most solemnly j averred that lie would introduce the j evolution resolution if it (mused a | revolution. It is not feared now that J it will do any such thing. The pre-1 diction most often made here is that Brother Betts will-be squelched. For Baptists are a swell indoctri nated on hell as on mosaic accounts of the cosmogony. No less a dig nitary than Editor Archibald Johnson i lias put out the word that Brother Betts repudiates the doctrine of hell. In most wordy rejoinders Brother Betts says “’taint so,” and he talks Greek for columns in repulsion of the accusation. Nevertheless, the Betts explanation is more difficult to har monize with the scriptures than in Darwinian evolution. Pastors of Par-j son Betts, who isn't a regular preach er. says he is heretical. lie is an open communist; he is a great be liever in the Ku K!ux, he is strong against the Roman Catholics, he gets hot up on the race question at time. His steadiest line is evolution. He hasn’t a doubt that the devil in vented the whole business. Dies From Injuries in Football Game. Fayetteville.
