A resolution to be sent to Queen Marie attracted considerable atten tion when it was passed by the -con vention. The resolution stated in part: “It is with deep regret that we have learned that our brethren of the Baptist churches of your country are left out of tho list of recognized confessions and are not given the privilegos granted other churches. ■We j-isirt-.-tfully t;'qncst .tan tu grant the Baptists along with all otheft. religions freedom, that they may be nllowed to purchase property for cclesiastical -purposes anil their min isters and other churches officials be assured freedom to exercise their functions as freely as the churches of all other confessions.

Middleton. secretary of Sunday school work, reported on the activi ties of his office and Dr. (’ary T. Newton, a returned missionary for merly of Greensboro,, discussed for eign missions. Dr. Newton stated that due to a curtailment of cx|ionses the mission board of the Southern Baptist con vention had notified him that it would be impossible to return him and his wife to ('liinn next year. The convention assured Dr-' Newton that the Baptists of the state would re turn him and his wife by special sub scription over and above the nmou> t pledged to cooperative program of the church. Several hundred dollars were subscribed from the convention floor so this purpose.

BASKERVILL < Staff f Raleigh. Nov, 19.—-Who in going to j!* Ustemsi to in the* n«»xt general as 1 vruibly. Walter Murphy, or Governor {A. W. McLean? Will t'iic accom j piishTnonts of the present administra - .lion ko far be undone, the executive budget act be demolished and the cof | f #, rn of the state thrown open willy nilly. for the political pie eaters to get their fill? Or will the state con tinue to pursue its way of safe and sane progress, in keeping with the rev enue derived from the present system jof taxation? These are questions that are being I much discussed not only here in the 4 jeapital of the state but in all sec tions of the state, since the recent j statement by Murphy in which he as • i sailed the executive budget act and 7 1 announced that he would lead in a j movement to scrap it in the present i legislature. And his declaration in j favor of lavish appropriations has ‘Jcaused some to stop and think what !! an increase of five or ten million dol- I lars in appropriations would cost the taxpayers of the state. Anti at pres ent it ia estimated that it would re quire at least $5.000,000 additional , revenue than is now in sight for each . year of the next biennium to grant the requests that already are pending, and which nre admittedly conserva tive. - That Murphy tins openly declared 1 war on Governor McLean and the j present administration is taken tor j granted, and his statement is regarded [jqs making an open breach between the jfcpdnunist ration members of the legisla 'jrnre nud the so-enlled rnfffeal bloc. I headed by Murphy, and with which |Tobe Connor, because he is being | backed by Murphy for the speaker- ) ship, is now being associated. It is j also, believed that IV. IV. Neal. Me | Dowell county, although defeated for file house in the recent election, will throw his influence—which is consid erable—with Murphy, Connor and their block. It has been tacitly un derstood for some time that Murphy was acting ns an unofficial campaign manager for Connor in the speaker ship fight and that Murphy had been assured of Hie chairmanship of the I appropriations committee provided Connor is elected speaker. There is no use for anyone to try to deny, of course, that there is not some very well defined dissatisfaction with and opposition to the executive budget system. And perhaps there is more of this dissatisfaction right I here in Raleigh thpn any other place. | The strings of the money hags have | been taken away very largely from ! individual department and bureau 'heads; they are not left independent in stating the needs of their depart ments. without having these needs scrutinized and questioned: they can no longer exi>end their appropriations as they see fit, and appropriations arc no longer regarded as lump sums which must be used up ' somehow, someway, in order to secure a fatter one at the next session of the legis lature. The real trouble, however, is that a number of state officials and de partment heads have been unable to see that the state is bigger than one individual department and have been unwilling to sacrifice the personal, egotistic satisfaction of being a big frog in a litttle puddle to being just an ordinary frog in a big pond, tak ing the state as a whole as the big pond. And that is the rub, in the legislature as well. Those who have wielded power in the past and have had much sayso as to appropriations and fiscal policies, and who have de pended upon fiery appeals, dripping with emotion, to secure the passage of these measures now object to a bureau or commission stepping in which has given these questions rold, halculating scrutiny beforehand, and attempting to advise on them. However, the saner minds, both in the legislature and in the various state departments and institutions, seeing the necessity of looking at these mat ters from a statewide point of view, rather than from an individual point of view, see that these changes had ' to come, and that they must stay. ' The time for careless appropriation of the state's money has passed, they : argue, and some check must be set ■ up against this. Not only that, but - with taxes already high, and expenses : —necessary expenses—increasing year ly, it is of the utmost importance that some definite agency be set up in the state government to act as a i check against unnecessary spending, f an agency which will have the author ; ity to go into expenditures before they i are made and then advise the legtsia i ture accordingly. This agency, it is i pointed out, doea no! in any sense - appropriate to itself any of the legisla • tlve powers of the legislature, but merely strives to sdpply a basis of I" m.i i. ’ I Embarrassed | ir i The Catholic Church’s annul ment of the marriage of Consuelo Vanderbilt and the Duke of Marlborough placet!

ASKED TO BOLT NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC TICKET “Southern Secretary' of State” Writes To Democratic Leaders. Brock Barkley in Charlotte Observer. ltaleigh. Nov. IS.—Prominent North Carolina democrats were sftUe jteti in a letter today to join in an I lauti-StnUh movement lhat would lead [the Dixie democracy to-holt the ris'xtt j democratic national convention in the! j event of the New York governor's l nomination and set up a convention I • of its own. The comiqunication, which was ] intended as confidential, warned that J the south would go overwhelmingly republican if comi>elled to choose be-1 tween Smith and the republican nom- j inee. Wherefore, it proposed that j southern leaders begin now to lay the l ground work for bolding the se|>arate | convention and picking the "third I party” candidate, who would be a good southern democrat. Those who were acipiainted with the letter declined to identify the writer other than to say he is "secretary of state of a Southern state." He is un dersood to have sent his letter broad cast over the south in an effort to interest party lenders in his pro posal. The one that came here was passed around among several promi nent stale leaders but no one would I I venture n comment on it. i The "secretary of slate" was frnnk |ly alarmist. If once the South goes I Republican over such issues ns liquor ! and Catholicism it will be gone for good, he feared, turning to the G. O. I*. not only nationally but in the state elections. The only salvation, he thought, would be (o assure southern Democrats of a Democratic presiden tial candidate for whom they might vote. To put out the new ticket would mean a national Republican victory in j j 1028 for certain, but it would hold the South in the Democratic column and insure Democratic state govern ment, whereas, he warned, Smith would not only pereipitate another de feat nationally but lie would cost the party its dominance in the South.
