BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
The Baptist State Convention
assembled at Durham on the
16th inst., a large number of
delegates from ail over the State
being present. Rev. Dr. Bailey
declined re-election to the Pres
idency of the Convention. Mr.
W. II. Pace was elected to that
position.
The work of t he Home Mis
sion Board during the past con
ventional year was aS follows :
Missionaries, :251 ; places oc
cupied, 822; baptisms, 3,923 re
ceived by letter, 2,319 ; churches
constituted, 119 houses of wor
ship built, 62.
Twenty-five of its missionaries
have labored among the colored
people of the South, six are at
work in Cuba and the rest are
preaching the gospel.
The board claims that after all
the State boards have done
what they can, there are still at
least ten millions of our South
ern population among whom we
may find an appropriate field for
its laborers.
Last year Xorth Carolina rais
ed 1,620.-31 for this board. Let
us make it $8,500 this year. The
receipts for this object since May
1st, 1887, have been more than
fifty per cent larger than for the
corresponding period of last
year. As the work is now better
organized than ever before, and
as there are nearly 800 brethren
and sisters in Xorth Carolina
who are the appointed and recog
nized representatives of the
board in their respective church
es, may the board not confident
ly rely on 2,500 from our Sta,e
for the year ending May 1st,
1888 ? The amount given this
year is $2,033,35.
Xew Sunday schools organized
this year, 41 up to the beginning
of 3rd quarter. Present number
of Sunday schools,(approxima
ted) 850 ? number of attendants,
(approximated) 70,000.
The last report of the foreign
mission board was exceedingly
encouraging. We give the fol
lowing summary :
Brazil: Missionaries (native
and foreign) 14; churches and
stations, 6 ; baptisms, 16; mem
bers, 175.
Mexico : Missionaries, 1 7 :
churches and stations, 21 ; bap
tisms, 100 ; members, 350, con
tributions, 823.
Italy : Missionaries, 15 ; church
es and stations. 14 ; members,
306 ; baptisms, 26. V
Africa: Missionaries, 16; bap
tisms. 16 ; mem bers, 138.
China; Missionaries, 54 ;
churches and stations, 24 ; bap
tisms, 46 ; members, 677 ; contri
butions, 699 ; besides a chapel
built at Shanghai by Deacon
Wong, costing about 1,000.
The foreign missionaries are
58 : of whom 24 are ministers
and 34 ladies: The baptisms
for one j jar were 228, and the
contributions in mission fields,
3,012.61.
The receipts of the Foreign
Mission Board were 87,830.53,
the largest in its history. Of
this amount Xorth Carolina con
tributed 7,242.34. The amount
contributed in this convention
during the year ending Xovem
ber lOth, 1887, is 6,428.53.
Prospects of Mr. Blaine.
If Democrats express opinion
unfavorable to the Presidential
prospects of the Maine states
man, their opponents charge that
the wish is father to the thought.
But it is not necessary to resort
to Democratic records. That
respectable and influential journ
al, the Xew York Evening Post,
makes these gloomy predictions :
"If the Republicans should re
nominate Mr. Blaine, Mr. Cleve
land would unqestionably beat
him far worse than before. Mr.
Blaine could not again .conduct
a successful intrigu for "the Irish
vote," and on the other hand he
could not again hold to his sup
port the tens of thousands of
Republicans wko only supported
him under protest before be
cause they believed that Mr.
Cleveland's election would 'ruin
the country.' If the Republicans
are to be guilty of such stupen
dous folly as presenting again
the tainted and dangerous candi
date whose nomination defeated
them in 1884, :hen indeed is the
election of 1888 already decided
in Mr. Cleveland's favor."

"CAROLINA,
SKETCH OF FANATIC JOHN BROWX.
A MURDERER AND PILLAGER OF
PEOPLE.
He And His Murderous Crew Slay
And Destroy But Some Thought
Him a Saint.
In the August number of the
Century Magazine Messrs. Nico
lay and Hay have made several
errors of omission and commis
sion which should be corrected
in the interest of true history.
These writers say, on page 517 :
"In association, habit, language
and conduct he was clean, but
course ; honest but rude." Two
I circumstances, however, indicate
that he was practicing a decep
j tion upon the committees and
the public: He entered into a
contract with a blacksmith in
t Collinsville, Conn., to manufact-
uic iui jli in i ' i rv S3 KJJL. tL LCl-
tain pattern, to be completed in
ninety days, and paid 550 on
the contract. There is no record
that he mentioned this matter to
; any committee. His proposed
! Kansas minute men were only
one hundred in number, and the
: pikes could" not be for them. His
explanation to the blacksmith
, that they would be a good weap
; on of defence for Kansas settlers
i was clearly a subterfuge. These
pikes, ordered about March 23,
; 1859, were without doubt inteud
j ed for his Virginia invasion, and,
i in fact, the identical lot, finished
I after long delay, under the same
contract, were shipped to him in
! September, 1859, and were actu-
ally used in his Harper's Ferry
j attempt. The other circumstance
is that about the time of his
contract for the pikes, he also,
without the knowledge of com-
j mittees or f riends, engaged a
worthless adventurer named
Forbes, to go west and give mil
itary instructions to his compa
ny, a means neither useful nor
practicablefor Kansas' defense.
These two acts may be taken as
the first preparation for Harper's
Ferry. These are constructive
lies. But John Brown made use
of many ot hers in his preparation
for the Virginia raid, which were
in no way doubtful or equivocal.
1. Hecame to me in Worces
ter to solicit a contribution of
arms for the defense of some
Kansas settlements, which he
j said he knew were soon to be
j attacked by parties already or
! ganized in Missouri for that pur
pose. Xot doubting his word,
I gave him all the arms I had,
j in value about 500.
2. Under the same false pre
i tense he secured another contri
1 but ion of arms in this city.
' These arms, also, were never ta
I ken to Kansas, but were captured
at Harper's Ferry.
3. Before his attack upon the
; United States Arsenal he spent
i several weeks in Virginia. He
! pretended to be a mineralogist,
1 and went about with a hammer
; breaking off the corners of rocks.
I Under the pretext of seeking for
! copper he found opportunity for
I trrinir tr onlwf clnvps in him lit.-
VJ-J " v" ....... v
tie rebellion. The representa
tive in congress from the Har
per's Ferry district gave me these
facts.
4. Under the same false pre
tense of aiding the settlers in
Kansas he procured funds from
several Xew York merchants,
one of whom said that he gave
him 50.
5. In 1858 he made a raid into
Missouri, murdered Mr. Crews, a
peaceful old farmer, and took
away eleven slaves, with about
' 4,000 worth of oxen; mules, vag
: ons, harness, saddles and other
property. As soon as he got out-
side of the state he sent agents
! in all directions to solicit and
get the eleven negroes to Canada.
He was from December to April
getting them through, This slow
movement was doubtless for the
purpose of prolonging as much
as possible the time for his agents
j to procure funds; His plunder
' and collections went, probably,
i to increase his Harper's Ferry
j fund.
6- He often asserted that in
Jthe above raid he liberated sev-
I eral slaves without bloodshed and
without the use of weapons. It
j is proved that Mr. Crews was
killed in that raid.
7. He repeatedly said that he was
not present at the Pottawatomie
midnight massacre. It is y roved
that he was present as command-
er of the assassins.
CAROLINA, HEAVEN'S BLESSINGS
SMITHFIELD, N. C, NOVEMBER
8. He repeatedly affirmed that
he took no part in those mur
ders, though he approved of them.
It is proved that the first unarm
ed victim, Mr. Doyle, was killed
by Brown's own hand. There is
abundant other proof that in all
his murders in Kansas, Missouri
or Virginia, his creed was that
"The end justifies the means,"
and that lying in his case was a
holy vocation. Does the expres
sion "honest but rude" truthful
ly describe John Brown ?
At that time (1859) I was serv
ing my second term in congress,
and have every opportunity to
know the minds of members re
garding John Brown's raid. There
was not one member of the house
of representatives who consider
ed his punishment unjust. A
very few (and I was one of them)
thought at impolitic, and said
that it would have been better
to put the criminal in a mad
house for life. This method
would have made ridiculous any
attempts of the Garrison dis
unionists to consecrate "old
Brown" either as a "martyr" or
a "saint." Had any republican
member of congress defended
the course of the invader and
murderer, or denounced the courts
of Virginia for properly punish
ing him capitally, such a repub
lican would have been expelled
from the party without notice or
delay. Henry Wilson was one
of the most radical of the repub
licans, but he said in Boston, af
ter Brown's raid and before his
execution, in words more em
phatic than elegant, "John Brown
is a damn fool." Later he saic.
in the United States Senate : "To
the allegation that Massachusetts
sympathized with John Brown's
invasion of Virginia and elected
a governor that endorsed it, I
wish to interpose an emphatic
denial. Such a charge is a libel
upon the republican party, upon
the state of Massachusetts, and
upon her governor." Only a few
months after Brown's execution
the national republican conven
tion met in Chicago to nominate
a candidate for president. That
convention passed unanimously
a resolution denouncing the
"armed invasion of a state, under
whatever pretense as one of the
gravest crimes."
Every stump speaker for Lin
coln in the canvass denounced
John Brown's raid unsparingly
and incessantly. Had there been
any doubt upon this subject, the
republican party could not have
carried a single state, and prob
ably not a single town, in all the
northern states.
The active men at that time in
urging the claims of John Brown
as a "saint" were the same ones
who, at the South Farmington
meeting on the 5th of July, 1854,
applauded William Lloyd Garri
son while he publicly burned a
copy of the constitution of the
United States. They are the
the same who have written nov
els claiming to be John Brown's
biographies. They are the deco
rators of their "saint" with the
use of various colored feathers,
stuck here and there, and many
bits of picturesque adornment in
ribbons and flannel rags, all of
flaming colors, so that he has be
come at last much more grotes
que than Madge Wildfire ever
was, since unaided, she was her
own decorator. Of this sort
were the anarchists who sought
to make a "saint" of John Brown.
In numbers they were utterly in
significant, constituting less than
one in 20,000 people in the north
ern states. As voters, they were
nothing, since they would not
contaminate their fingers or their
conscience with any vote which
had the protection of the consti
tution, called by them a "league
with death and a covenant with
hell." But in brazen defiance of
law, and in perpetual din and
noise, these advocates of anarchy,
these howling dervishes as Dr.
Leonard Bacon used to call them
i were equal to Olympian jove
i with all his thunders. Eli Thay

There is no longer any doubt
about the nomination of Sec
retary Lamar to fill the vacancy
on the Supreme bench caused by
the death of Justice Woods. It
is said that his name will be sent
to the Senate a few days after
the opening of the session, and
that at the same time Postmas
ter General Vilas will be nomi
nated to succeed Mr. Lamar as
Secratary of the Interior. The
question as to who will succeed
Mr. Vilas as Postmaster General
is still left in doubt, but As
sistant Postmaster General Stev
enson is regarded as his probable
successor.
The Albatross, the trim little

Five of the most important
provinces of Canada were repre
sented at the recent Quebec con
ference by leading men of their
governments. An assembly more
truly representative of the peo
ple could not be got together. It
was nonpartisan and patriotic,
and contained picked and trusted
politicicians from every district.
All were shrewd and able men,
well acquainted with public opin
ion and exceedingly unlikely to
take ground against it incautious
ly. They unanimously adopted
resolutions favoring unrestricted
reciprocity of trade between Can
ada and the United States. The
importance of this resolution of
the conference is very great, and
its adoption was very timely. It
has been said that there is no
general desire in Canada for com
mercial union. It will no longer
be possible for the most fatuous
ringster to indulge in that asser
tion. The action of the Quebec
conference should have a large
influence upon the commission
ers about to meet in Washing
ton. They cannot now doubt
what Canada wants. The British
representative cannot but per
ceive that the Ottawa Govern
ment, if it pretends that Canadi
ans in general do not wish for
commercial union, does not re
present the Dominion truly.

BROTHERLY AND SISTERLY LOVE
San Francisco Chronicle.)
A girl is generally very unsel
fish to her brother. You don't
often hear of a young fellow
giving up his pocket money to
his sister ; he usually growls if
she wants him to take her to the
theatre. But if a boy's in a lit
tle trouble his sister will stand
by him like a brick. She'll not
only give up her pocket money,
but she'll go and wheedle some
more out of her father to give it
to him. She'll fib, she'll prevar
icate, she'll beg. He'll hang about
outside until she gets it and
comes and gives it to him. Then
he will grab his hat and bolt out
of the house. And she does not
mind it if she does not thank
her particularly. He's her broth
er, and well a woman always
looks at a kindness done to a man
as its own reward. A boy can
generally wheedle money out of
his mother. But if she can't
give it to him out of the house
hold case or her own pocket she
has a tendency to spoil all by
telling his father what she wants
the money for. A girl cannot
succeed with her mother very
often, but she does not often fail
with the old man. And she's al
ways more ingenius in invent
ing necessities for it. A girl,
with all the more limited ac
knowledged needs of womankind
for money, will find at any time
a more reasonable excuse for re
quiring it than a man with in
numerable natural wants. God
bless the sisters, anyway. Any
one of them is worth a whole
family of brothers.
Iiingg's Awful Plot.
Michael Schwab said Fire Mar
shal Kromer, with whom he is
acquainted and who visited him
at the prison shortly after his
arrival : "Lingg was the scala
wag who did it all. Spies would
not have been executed if the
bombs had not been found in
Lingg's cell. Why, that miser
able rat asked for a pencil and
paper to write some deviltry on
ly five minutes before he died.
It's a mystery to me how he man
aged to conceal that fulminating
cap about him with which he
took his life."
Being asked in German what
he thought Lingg intended to
do with the bombs, Schwab re
plied : "I think he was goiug to
explode them among the jail of
ficials and others who would be
present at the execution and mur
der as many as he could, regard
less of the consequences to
himself. The actions of this
wretch were what prevented
commutation for poor Spies
I do not think that the police or
jail officials had anything to do
with the bombs found in Lingg's
cell, and I do not know how he
got possession of them."
Teosinte a ad Kaffir Corn.
( Rural New Yorker. )
Rhena or Euchloena luxurians
(Teosinte) is again spoken of by
some writers in the Xorthern
farm press as a wonderful fodder
plant. The R. X. Y. would re
pectfully caution its readers
against being influenced by such
statements. We tried it careful
ly 10 years ago. The seed is slow
to start and the season must be
just such as we do not have often
erthan one year in five, to in
duce a growth equal to that in
Indian corn. The leaf is broad
er than that of corn, the plants
tiller as much as those of the
wonderful (!) Pearl millet (Pen
icillaria spicata) and they may
be cut back and still grow. But
there is in most seasons no need
to cut them back. Besides, it
does not form seed north of the
Southern Stat 3, and a seed crop
is doubtful there. It has been
well tried in many parts of the
country and found wanting. We
would also guard our readers
against Kaffir corn so extensively
"advertised during the past sea
son. It may prove valuable in
j the South or in droughty regions
j where corn is an uncertain crop,
' but it will never, as we believe,
be extensively cultivated in the
Xorth where corn thrives The
I result of our trial with the Kaffir
j corn during the past season, has
i already appeared in these col-
umns. Those who "know better"
J are cautioned to try it in a small
1 way only.
