Eastern North Carolina Raleigh, Aug. 19.?Two coun ties are expected to Join In a great celebration, September 7 at Bhlloh, commemorating the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Bhiloh Baptist Church, claimed to ?_ *ht ~hftit honag of ?onliin nf that faith In the State, and among the oldest of any denom ination. Tho church, history records, waa founded In 1727 by Paul Palmer, an Englishman who made his home In Delaware. A man of Intelligence and power who drew hundreds to his aide. his power could not be checked by the Es tablished Church, and 8lr Richard 35verhard, in 1729. two years after the founding of the Shlloh church, wrote to the Bishop in London that It was "Impossible to stop him." Palmer was a land owner and Slave holder and stood high among the people. Having come in touch with persecuted Baptists of New England and thus having his spirit quickened and his meth ods formed for larger work, he settled In Perquimans County and organised the first Bsptist Church In North Carolina. Though the church was organ-1 l*ed In Perquimans, Its local habi tation soon came to be In Camden; Jf W" d***rlbed as having an *rm, In Perquimans and an srm" In Camden. The Perqui mans group did not flourish be cause of Quaker dominance, but tne Camden group, more favor ably situated. flourished and was noon the center of Influence for the early Baptists of the Albe marls region. It waa known even aa late aa 17#0 aa "the Church In CamdeB,' later bearing the name of "the Church at Bhlloh " Under a varied and Intelligent ministry from the time of Paul Palmer to John D. Elwell the' church progressed, and under the leadership of the latter experi enced one of the greatest revivals ever written Into North Carolina history. Through the efforts of the early ministerial ttrwi of Shlloh the Baptlat faUh grew, and Tlaptlat churches were planted all over the Albemarle section from tho Atlan tic to the Roanoke. New "arms" were established from the mother church In all aectlons and finally settled strongly Into tho very stronghold of the "eatabllahment " As to the doctrine and disci pline of he "mother church/' there waa no marked difference from the policy of Baptlat churches of today The prototype of the mother church" was the General f?!"..

Peele Hall To Be Name New General Class Room Building at State College In Memory of William j Joseph Peele Who Lol Movement That Rnnllril in Fouading (?llrgc CONSIDERED RADICAL His Ideas at That Time Thought Too Liberal were Later Accepted; Was a Friend of Daily Advance \ 8lr Walter Hotel. Raleigh. Aun 19.?Peele Hall will be the name' of the new general classroom building which will be erected at J State College, according to A. S. college. The balldtng Is to be named In honor of the late W. J. Peele. of Raleigh, who led the movement! which resulted In the foundation of State College and who deliv ered the address on the occasion when the cornerstone for the first j State College building waa dedi cated In 1888. Mr. Peele serve.I on the board of trustees of 8tatu College from that time until the time of his death in 1919. William Joseph Peele was one of the State's most distinguished cltlsenq of the past generation. In addition to conceiving the Idea and campaigning for the foonda tion of State College, he waa thoj prime mover in the establiahment of the State Historical Commit alon. and served as one of ita di rectors from Its foundation until his death. By profession Mr. Peele waa a lawyer, and. although he was i keenly Interested In public af I falre, he never held elective of fice. In 1880 he came to Raleigh from his home in the eastern part of the State, and opened a law of fice. He was a close personal friend of'Walter Hlnes Page, and. ' with him, was one of the organis ers of the Wataugoa Club, which i led the fight for progress in North Carolina during its existence. Mr. Peele attended the Univer sity of North Carolina, and was one of Its most prominent and ac tive alumni. He reached high rank aa a scholar In Greek and Latin, and for thla reason it Is deemed' especially appropriate, by the State College officials, that the general classroom building, dedl* cated to fostoring a love for the liberal arts among the profession al and technical men being edu cated at 8tate College, should be named for him. During his llfo Mr. Peel.' was considered as the leader of liberal sentiment in this 8tate. At the time when he began the move ment to found State College, the Idea of an Institution of higher learning which taught practical subjects wan considered very rad* leal. In addition, he labored to promote better relations between the white and negro races, at a time when the Civil War was not yet 20 years past. Mr. Peele attained some dis tinction as an author. He wrote several legal volumes which w? re widely consulted, and his "Dis tinguished North Carolinians" is today regarded as the authorita tive volume on that field of his tory by the historians of this State. In addition, Mr. Peele was the flret historian to propone the theory that the Civil War had its origin In economic causes, a the orY which is now universally ac cepted by trained historians. Ho was the author of a text hfu>k on Civics which was for a ntimber of years used In the North Carolina public schools. Mr. Peele was keenly interested In Roanoke Island and had many friends there. He was the uncle of Herbert and Joseph Peele of Elisabeth City and was greatly Intereated in the establishment and develop ment of T?bo Elizabeth City Dally Advance, of which they are the publishers. 8TIIKHT IMPROVED 1IY i TRACTOR MCMOttMTKATIO* | The two blocks of Pool street, extending from Elisabeth to Pearl streets, fecelvod a badly needed dressing up Friday morning when the Auto A Gas Engine Works ( gave a practical demonstration of the Fordson tractor equipped with the Trackson full crawler, which claims a pulling power of three tons.
