The State Executive Committee held a meeting Wednesday night of last week for the purpose of receiv ing the report of the special com mittee appointed to investigate the sixth district muddle. The commit tee reported that neither Clark or Godwin were nominated for Congress at the recent convention held at Wrightsville Beach.

"Difficulties in our class, how shall we over come them?" This was participated in by one or more dele-n-'trs from each cla-:s. and proved very helpful. Following the purpose of the or ganization: To spread Baraca work in the county: Motion was made by Rev. R. A. McFarland to appoint a committee of five, whose duty it shall be to stimulate Baraca work in their town and communities and or ganize new classes.

"The fame of Dr. Poteat as a spea ker had preceded him, and to say that his effort last night was a bril liant one would put it mildly, and no report from this scribe can possibly do him justice. For over an hour he held the closest attention of the en tire audience, and at times the still olmnst. oppressive. Not one person in the great crowd seemed to tire, and everyone greatly enjoyed the masterly address, from a master mind. "At the close of the address Misses Katherine and Elizabeth Futrell sang a beautiful duet, and Rev. R. A. Mc Farland stated that he wanted to make a one-minute speech, but de sired ten minutes to make it in. He then told all the young ladies pres ent to get out among the visitors and everywhere they found a little white bow on the lappel of a gentleman':? coat to shake his hand, and if any of them got offended to report to him. Then the mix-up occured. Right in the midst of the mix-up the electric lights went out, either by design or accident, and the church was in to tal darkness. Lamps were soon found and lighted, and the nappy hand-shake continued. It was a most hannv thought and a most fitting 1 x - finale to a most happy event. "After all the exercises were over the great crowd was invited out on the church lawn, where delicious re freshments were served, and a happy good time had by the more soc ially inclined. This was another sur prise to the majority of those pres ent, but one of the most pleasant of the whole day's preceedings. Out on the lawn those who were inclined to do so while the moments away until l-ir lntpnp;s of the hour forced them to 'disperse and wander' to their respective homes. "There were from 50 to GO visitors present, representing all sections of the county, and the day's services and pleasures will linger long as one of special enjoyment and service in the great Baraca movement."

Chairman Eller has appointed the following advisory committee, under the action of the commitee authoriz ing the appointment of an advisory committee to the State Executive We take the following account of ' Commitee. Tillery, N. C. Aug. 30th. Mr. Tillery was one of the old school gentlemen that is so rapidly becom ing a thing of the past. Mr. Tillery was 72 years of age and is survived by three brothers and two sisters, namely J. R., Matt, and Chas. Tillery; Miss Annie Tillery and Mrs. Weeks. Mr. Lee Tillery was born in this county and was a prosperous farm er. He was a gentleman in whom all who knew him respected and cherished his frindship; gentle in his bearing and always commanding the respect of his fellows He had been in bad health for some time and bore his sickness without murmer ing. A busy man' always'alive to the best interest of his county and his fellow man's success. He will live in the memory of all who knew him, his example for industry and his love for truth and honesty if imitat ed by his fellow men will be a ben ediction to any section. His remains were laid to rest in the old family resting place Tuesday, Aug. 30th. at 1 o'clock. S. F. Dunn CAST For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of the night session and the address by Dr. Poteat from the Scotland Neck correspondence to the Raleigh Eve- ing Times: "At night the large auditorium was filled with an eager congregation to hear the address by Dr. W. L. Po teat, president of Wake Forest Col lege. "After two or three selections by the choir, and prayer by Rev Mr. Bau com, Rev. R. A. McFarland, in his usual happy style, introduced Dr. Poteat, who began his great address by saying that he was happy to be here on this most interesting occas ion, when 'young men at work for young men' were assembled in the interest of the great work they were doing. Dr. Poteat analyzed religion from a scientific rather than theolog ical view point. He stated that a convention of this kind was of far more importance than an association of farmers or any other class of peo ple. 'All society,' declared Dr. Po teat 'is dependent upon religion, tve only universal difference be tween man and beast is religion.' Dr. Poteat, m a most masterly man ner, established this proposition to the satisfaction of every person pres ent. He declared that 'no animal was religious, but every human be ing leans to some religious creed, First District T. J. Jarvis. Second District Claude Kitchin. Third District F. M. Simmons.
