BAPTIST HOSTS SAY CONVENTION A GREAT SUCCESS Yesterday's Session Fraught With Many Events of Real Interest MANY ATTENDING Rev. Livingston Johnson Thrilled His Hearers Last Night The session yesterday of the Wom an's Missionary Union Convention which is being held in New Bern this week, was probably the most suc cessful held so far. The Baptist church, where the convention is being held, was crowded morning, afternoon and evening with dele gates and local Baptists and great interest was manifested in the events of the day. Mornld Session During the morning session the main business transacted was the welcoming of the visitors, the read ing of reports and short talks on the work of the union. Mrs. Charles Hall of New Bern delivered the ad dress of welcome in behalf of the Bap tists while Mrs. Whit Gaskins wel comed the visitors in behalf of the other denominations. Mrs. J. F. Brooks of Hendersonville responded to these addresses. Among the interesting reports made during the morning was one on the growth of the Union since it first came into being twenty-eight years go.' At first there were only a few sooieties but at present there are more than eleven hundred a gain of more than fifty since last year and there are now more than twenty-five thous and members, with a gain of more than fifteen hundred sinoe the last convention. The total contribution for the year was $48,000, six thousand dollars more than last year. Afternoon Session The afternoon session was devoted ioit entirely to young women missions. This session was in rge of Mr. R. H. Bowden o Ttrboro and she presided in a most Me manner. One of the mot in tetetting talks of the afternoon was made by Mrs. Hight C.

Ferguson ot Durham. Short talks were alfo made by other mem ben. , Evening1 Session The evening session was probably the most momentous of the day on account of the fact that included in the program were speakers of na tional repute. The church was crowd ed to its utmost oapacity and during the entire session great interest was manifest. Rev. R. W. Thiot presided over this session. Rev. Thiot is pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist ohutch of this city and is in himself a brilliant speaker and hi introduction of Dr. Livingston Johoton of Raleigh and Rev. Victor 1. Masters of Atlanta, Oa., was mott eloquent and impress ive. Rev. Johnson took as his sub jeet, "What's In a Name" and his address was filled with food for thought and proved to be one of the most inspirational ever beard in New Bern. Ho ws followed by Rev. Victor 1. Masters who spoke on the subject of "Christianizing the Houth" and made a lasting impre.ision upon his hearers. The devotional exer cises last evening were in charge of JUt. Euclid McWhorter, pasti of Centenary Methodist church. This Mornlntj This asorning the session will be in charge of Mrs. W. H.

ARRIVED IN CITY THIS MORNING Has Been At Washington Since Adjournment of Congress IS LOOKING WELL Will Spend Several Days Here Before Going to Jones County Senatoi Furnifold M. Simmons.

Going to Farm While in New Bern he will make bis home with his daughter, Mrs. Jos eph Patterson, wife of Dr. Joseph F. Patterson.

The Rev. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, President f the National American Woman Suffrage Association, was the guest of the New Era Club here today and the principal speaker at an open air mass meeting Her appearance under the auspices f the New Era Club bat caused a wide breach in the Suffrage foroes of Louisana and tonight the Anti-Suf frage foroee are elated. Women who fer years have carried the banner of the Suffrage fight here remained away from to-days' meeting. In fact Dr. Shaw's fair sized audience con tained only a few Suffragists and was made up largely of men and the usual street crowd. The New Era Club is an organiza tion of recent date and is composed of the remnants of the old Era Club, a pioneer Suffrage body. Short ly af ter the death of President Wilson's wife, Mrs. Kate Gordon of national Suffrage fame succeeded at a small meeting of the organization in de feating a resolution of condolence, be cause, as she declared in a sensa tional speech, Mrs. Wilson was not a Suffragist. This action eanaed widespread comment and criticism, and the members of the Era Club voted to disband, Miss Gordon then organized the New Eta Club, with only a handful of followers. The ma jority of the other members joined the Woman Suffrage Party of Lou isana, the biggest organization of its kind in the State. WELL KNOWN MAN DEAD Fernfe Wilcox Posses Awty ' Pollocltavllle.

March 20, to continue a week. Passover (Posaeh) is the seven days' festival observed by the Jew in the early spring in commemoration of Use exodu from Egypt. In ancient Jew ish life it was the first of the three Pilgrim festivals upon whieh every male Jew was required to present him self in person at the central sanctu ary in Jerusalem. Although the Pass over has certain features in common with the universal spring festival, it it its historical significance which gives it lasting vitality. It is the great Independenoe Day of the Jew: the first event in his national history, an event whieh be came fundamental in all hit thinking, too, as evidence by the frequent reference to the great deliverance The festival is ushered in by a family service, called the Seder, at which certain symbolic ceremonies are observed. In song and story, the tale of the oppression and the deliverance U re hearsed. Psalms of thanksgiving (Hallel), strike the key-note of the happy occasion. The service, inter rupted for the family dinner, closes with a number of merry folk-songs expressive of the character of the celebration. During the week of the festival, un leavened bread is eaten instead of the usual leaven. In orthodox houses great care is taken that all traces of leaven be removed before the begin ning of the festival. Sets of dishes otherwise unused, are provided. Services are held in the synagogues and ermons preached in keeping with the thoughts of the festival. Excerpts from, or, in some eases, the whole of the book of The Song of Songs are read. EDGAR ALLEN POE (By Ocelots Immortal Muse your songs are ended, We shall never hear you sing. But we'll ponder well the meaning, That your mystic lines shall bring. You have left this world forever, Found at last a "home sweet home," Where tho poets, and the Angels, Side by side forever roam, s There perhaps you'll see your Helen Whom in boyhood days you loved. There again you'll hear the greeting That your soul to gladness moved. There you'll see a stately maiden, Of the sintly days of yore, Violet eyes, with amber tresses, She who was your lost Lenore. There perhaps you'll see ijour raven, Wandering from the mighty shore, Bearing messages from Pluto To the land of nevermore. Then away from al the haunts of sorrow, Your soul from out the shadows free, Drifting, drifting through the azure, With the beautiful Anabel Lee. Maysville, N. C. March 24, 1915.

The monu ment of Richard C. Russell was un veiled Sunday by the W. 0. W., sev eral camps participating in the ex- eronos. The Harlowe, New Bern, Morehoad City and Newport camps, the later being the one of which Mr. Russell was a member, were well repiesented. On the incoming trains, hundreds arrived and many came ovetland in autos. The entire dav was one of interest. Haveiock had the pleasure of enter taining some of the most noted men of Eastern North Carolina, among them being the Hon. Geo. E. Hood of Goldsboro, a widely known Wood man and Congressman trom the Third District. The dinner was one of exooDtional interest, plenty of old North Carolina ham, oyster cocktaile, and everything known at the "Taft Hotel" met the eye everywhere and there was a song of welcome extended to all. The Woodmen gathered at the station about two o'olook and march ed to the cemetery where the veil was removed and there before the tdsemblod host stood the monument erected to Richard C. Russell. After the order of services the Hon. George E. Hood made an ap- piopriate speech and one long to he remembered by those present. He spoke of the good the W. O. W. hsd done for the home nnd of the de ceased biother passing away ere he hsd reached the morning of life. Mr. Hood said that memory was like an angel within th soul. Thus a house becomes sacred. Every room has a thousand memories. Every door and window is clustered with as sociations; and when, after long years, we go back to the house of our in fancy, faces look out upon us, and an invisible multitude stand in gate and portal to weleome us, and we hear airy voices speakinsr atrain the old words of our childhood. This address, ooming as it did from one of the best sneakers of the Southland, was the most brilliant ana inspiring ever heard bere on a I SAM. LiROGERS rSA BUSY MAN Loses No Time In Getting to Work Men Want , I Job a m Washington, Marat M Director Samuel L. Rogers of Use United States Census Bureau is buckling down to work and it learning the int and outs of his job. A false impression has gained cir culation in North Carolina, and Mr. Rogers and his friends are being bombarded with applications for po sitions It is erroneously believed that Mr. Rogers has close on to 60,000 jobs to give out. The tiuth is every thing that looks like a job in the Census Bureau was given out some time ago. There ;ire some field posi tions to be given out within the next few months, and now and then vacan cies will occur, but jiiFt now the pie counter is almost tmpty of good slices. Mr. Rogers' appointment and the publicity attending it, has developed the fact that North Carolina has many Rogerses and that very few people ever get things exactly right Fifteen or twenty years ago a very plausible solicitor by the name of Wiley Rogers traveled the state for The News and Observer. He went into every nook and corner of the state. Today a let ter came to a North Carolinian in Washington, from an ambitious Tar Heel, asking him to "Please see Wiley Rogers, and tell him to hold one of his best jobs for me: I am on the way." Another letter asked "If John R. Rogers had any real good places that he would put North Carolina Demo crats in." There is no end of effors to fill good positions, and Mr. Rogers has found it out. Senator Simmons has been trying to find a way by which he and Mr. Rogers can take care of a few de serving North Carolina Democrats, and he will succeed sooner or later.

His sku'I was thought to be frac tured by Dr. Robert S. McGeachv. who shortly arrived on the scene. The left arm is broken and one or two ribs are thought to be broken. He was carried into the vacant store before being taken to the hospital It is not known exactly how he came to lose his balance, since it seems no one saw him until he had hit the pavement. He has not regained con sciousness.

When the serenading music was over. President Johnson was called upon for a speech. From the recollection of the oldest citizen, in essence be said: "When I first came to, Chapel Hill many years ago, I earns trudging alatig this road that leads by the President's home. I was a barefoot boy, scantily attired in clothing, and with a budget of old clothes on my back. Today I come back to you as president of the United States. The eloquent lesson spoken by Andrew Johnson has been pronounc ed by educators as one of the most impressive ever uttered. His words were few and well-chosen but the wealth of meaning whieh they ear ned was bound-up in the journey of this North Carolina boy from Uni versify student to the highest offlee within tho gift of the American peo ple.

Then followed an pen discussion of the difference in the literary style of these two books, the first written in the early years of his young manhood was permeated with a roseate glow of optimistic youth, while the latter, though fast as strong in its literary value was yet indicative of maturer years and mel lowed sympathies.
