Baptist Church and Was Largely
Attend An Interesting and Prof
itable Time. ; ' 1
As announced in The Courier,
the North Carolina State Sunday
School Tour Party held a conven
tion for Person county last Saturday
and Sunday, The convention was
a success from start to finish, and
was much enjoyed ) by. our people.
The attendance was very good,
quite a number of the Sunday
schools of the county being repre
sented. '
The Tour Party consisted of Mr.
N. B. Brougbton, Rev. S. M. Smith
and wife, and Miss Maud Reid, of
Raleigh; Rev J. Walter Long, of
Banbury, and Rev. G. C Titllar, of
New York. '
The program was complete, em
bracing the most, important needs
of the Sunday School work in
North Carolinay and each subject
was handled in an interesting and
instructive manner. We are sure
that our people were greatly bene
fitted by the speeches- made lj .
each member of the party, and
the Sunday School work has re
ceived an impetus that will not
soon be forgotten.
The sijging was led by Mr. Tul
lar, and it was a great part of the
meeting,
Sunday evening i a j permanent
organization" for - the cbutfty"was
effected with the following ofiicers'
Prof. N. C Newbold, President;
Prof. A. S.. Webb, of Mt. Tirzah,
Secretary and-Treasurer. And a
Central Executive Committee, com
posed of the pastors and superin
tendents of the town, and Col, Jno.
S. Cuningham.
A plan to make a house to house
canvass of the county was arranged,
and a collection of one hundred
dollars to defray the expenses of
the same was raised, as also the
sum of twenty five dollars to pay
expenses of the convention.
Delegates to the State Sunday
School Con vention, which meets in
Greensboro from the 26th to 29th of
April were elected.
The closing exercises Sunday
nightjeonducfed by Mr.Tullar, were
very impressive. His subject, was
"The Real Christ," and he im
pressed his audience as being a man
of great power. '.
We are glad the party came - to
Roxboro, and pur people would be !
delighted for them to come again
and stay longer. They are conse
crated men and , women, doing a
great work for the' uplifting of
humanity, We bespeak for tbem
a cordial welcome fiom the Chris
tian people wherever they go.

GOES TO GREENSBORO.
The Democratic State Convention is
Called to Meet on the 23rd of June
All Nominations to be bv a maioritv
Vote.
yJ
The State Democratic Executive
Committee, which met in Raleigh
on Thursday, night of last week,
decided to call the State Convention
to meet in Greensboro, June
23rd. ' ;
Ex-Mayor Taylor, of Greensboro
most, eloquently invited the conven
tion 10 come to that city. He de
clared that if heebnvention being
hojd there was to be construed as
in any way hampering or prejudic
ing the candidacy: of Major Sted
man, of that place, for . the Guber
na tonal nomination ; there was not
a man in Greensboro - or Guilford
county who would want it to comet
as they were for Stedman for Gov"
ernor against all else in" the world .
But if the ..." committee wou Id give
them the conventioti without preju
dice Jto Stedman, they would prom
ise hospitality in every way worthy
of.Gfebornathenvention;
It 'was tberi that Raleigh wit-drew
her, invitation, and Greensboro was
unanimously selected, thereby pay-,
ing double tribute to Stedmah;'
. This resolution, was adopted:
, Resolved, That it is the sense of
the committee that the order of bus'
inejs in the State convention shall
be 1 y
1 st. Organization ; ' "
'' 2nd. Adoption of resolutions and
platform. y
ard. Election of delegates to na
tionat convention. "
4th.' Nomination of candidates
forall State offices. .
It was ordered "that the chairman
embody this resolution in his call
for the convention The resolution
first provided for "a two days' ses
sion of the convention but this was
stricken out. The idea is still, how?
ever, tbat the convention will re
quire that length of time.
. On motion of Watts, of Iredell,
this motion was adopted:
Resolved, Dhat section 7 of the
General Rules . of Organization
read: In all conventions a nqmina'
tion may be made by a majority,
even though it .be a fraction of a
vote,'7 '.. ; . - T .
The committee indirectly ex
pressed disapproval of a general
guoernatoriai primary uy ucciaung
Section 6 of the plan of organization
in forcl This provides that in: the
county conventions each, . candidate
shall receive-the proportionate vote
that he ,'receivej in; the; precinct
meetings. - , t . 4 .
Tbe meeting was a. large one, en
thusiastic and ' harmonious, and
United States Senator F. M. Sim?
mons, the State chairman, presided.

has shocked the good peopled - that
county. -They need to put an end to
pistol-toting and to have a femore
hangings in that county. As long
as the present absurd challenge law
exists, it is Wry difficult to convict
in 7ilson, Wake and other counties.

We used to think that more babies
and calves were born in the spring
time in Western North Carolina than
any other section cf the world.
From tne birthday announcements

believe that more paper are born ih
this State with the coming Qf.uentle
