exonerates Representative E. Y.

"There Is no evidence of any kind
cr character indicating that Webb
was reached or influenced by the

Referring to an alleged call Mul

"The only call or calls he ever

any question in fact the only cair
he ever made upon him were at
the time he was conducting this gen
era! canvass seeking to ascertain the
sentiments of all members he could

THIEVES RAMPANT.
Several Places of Business Recently
Broken Into Police Arrest Negro
Who Confesses.
Policemen Craig and Conrad yes
terday afternoon arrested a negro
boy, Paul Hick lin, aged about 15
years, on a warrant charging him
with breaking into the Ideal Gro
cery Company's store on Main ave
nue Wednesday night and rifling the
cash drawer of three or four dollars
in small change. The boy confessed
his guilt and endeavored to Impli
cate another person in the robbery
whom the police are holding as a
witness. It is not thought that the
boy had any accomplice. Entrance
was gained by breaking one of the
rear windows.
The same night the store of W. P.
Bell was entered and a pair of shoes
taken. The police think It possible
that Hicklin is also guilty of that
robbery but so far have been unable
to implicate him.
Two other robberies have occurred
recently In the business part or
town. Last Friday night Crafg ft
Head's harness shop on Main ave
nue was entered and the casn draw
er relieved of a small amount of
change. A few nights previous tne
fruit stand of John Ferris, in the
same block was entered and about
$40 secured from the cash drawer.
So far the parties who committed
these last mentioned crimes have
not been apprehended.
BAPTISTS IN ANNUAL SESSION AT SHELBY
Eighty -Third Annual Session of
North Carolina Raptist Conven
tion Regan Monday Night at Nlnl
bj Proceedings of Cnusual Im
portance and Interest Strong
Educational Sentiment Prevails.
The eighty-third annual session or
the North Carolina Baptist Conven
tion met Tuesday night in the beau
tiful First Baptist church of Shelby,
with Rev. C. H. Durham, of Lumher
ton, presiding. The opening sermon
was preached by Rev. Dr. W. Tf.
Johnson, pastor oT the Wake Forest
church.
Hon. O. Max Gardner delivered the
address of welcome, which was re
sponded to on behalf of the conven
tion by Dr. W. M. Vines, pastor or
the First Baptist church of Char
lotte. The election of officers re
sulted In the choice of Rev. C. H.
Durham as president for the lourtn
consecutive term; N. G. Broughton
and Prof. C. K. Brewer as secretaries.
A beautiful gavel made from tne
wood of a hickory tree cut from the
summit of Kings Mountain near tne
spot where Ferguson fell was pre
sented to the president of fne con
vention by Representative E. Yates
Webb. Other officers elected were,
E. Y. Webb, C. F. Meserve and J. A.
Oates, vice-presidents; Walter Dur
ham, of Raleigh, treasurer; Kev.
Livingston Johnson, of Raleigh, cor
responding secretary. The trustees
are Messrs. W. C. Tyree, H. C. Brid
ges, Noah Biggs. W. N. Jones and D
L. Gore.
Wednesday, the second day of the
convention, was largely given up to
addresses and discussions on proba
bly the most Important matter to be
acted upon by this session, the ques
tion of placing the educational in
stitutions of the church In this State
upon the convention's annual budg
et, to receive the regular support of
the church just as the other benevo
lent funds are now raiser This
movement has been agitated Tor sev
eral years, being pushed with great,
vigor by the Wake Forest alumni
and other friends of the church col
leges, and there is every prospect
that it will be carreld through suc
cessfully this year.
Thursday's sessions were taken up
fully with reports and discussions on
missions, secondary schools and the
Orphanage. At the morning session
Dr. J. H. Eager, of Louisville, Ky.,
presented e claims of the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary. Rev.
J. Clyde Turner, of Statesvllle, read
the report on foreign missions, which
contained among other valuable In
formation th following Interesting
statistics:
During the past year there were
4,.r)3 2 persons baptised, an increase
of about 30Q over the previous year,
or pi ore t,han one-third as many as
were baptized within our own State
with her 2,000 Churches and 1,200
preachers. With the exception or
Mexico, the report adds, never be
fore have conditions in foreign lands
been so favorable for Christian
work as they are today. Heathen '
nations are coming to realize that
their ideals are nothing, mat their
long-cherished traditions are false,
that their religions are without pow
er and they are ready to be won for
Christ.
Of the 23,659 Churches within the
bounds of the Southern BaptlBt Con
vention there are 10,023 which gave
not' a penny to foreign missions dur
ing the past year. Of the 2,021
Churches within our own State,
there were 602 which gave nothing
to this work during the year.
Going further, the report says.
Southern Baptists agreed to raise
$61 8,000 for' foreign missions last
year. The amount they did raise
was $)43,000, a decrease of $37,000
over the preceding year. This defic
it caused the board to face Its new
year with a total Indebtedness of
$76,400. The North Carolina Bap
tists have paid their apportionment
of $r)0,000 for the year.
Prof. G. E. Llneberry, educational
secretary of the convention, present
ed the report on secondary schools
to the afternoon session. The list
of secondary schools Includes Mere
dith College, Chowan College and 15
high schools, all of which have had a
successful year. Rev. R. L. Gay read
the report on the Biblical Recorder.
Last night's session was Orphan
age night. The work of the Wom
an's Missionary Unions was also con
sidered. Rev. J. S. Snyder, of Fay
ettevHle, read the report on Wom
an's work, showing an increase of
more than $5,000 in the amount
contributed this year over last.
There are now in the convention 1,
47 L societies, 239 having been added
to the number during the past year.
Mr. M. L. Kesler, superintendent or
the Orphange, was then heard on the
work of the past year at this Insti
tution. Since the beginning, 28
years ago, there have been 1,445
children enrolled. Of these 414 are
now In the Institution. Other speak
ers op the orphanage work were
