The first matter before the conven tion was "State Missions, Destitution in Knstern North Carolina." bast eh x .m: i :ds. The. report on destitution in Eastern North Carolina states: "The Baptists of the State lind their greatest destitu. lion in the counties covered by the At. lniitic, Eastern Nensc and Tnr Kiver Associations. The Xeuse and Atlantic .issuclntions moke one of the most in viting mission fields for Baptists in the Slate. "These associations cover ten large counties with a population of more than 2(10,000. and with something less than .1.000 Baptists. We have, on this Held 46 organized churches, and .10 'preaching points, witli a number of inviting places unoccupied. "While there is much, unoccupied territory in. the Eastern associations it. is the opinion of those who are ac quainted with the field that their greatest need is to develop the churches already organized. "in, our opinion the Tut Hiver As sociation is i..e greatest missionfieid in the State. Here the people have no faith and no hope. In. the county of Edireeoinbe only one in eight of the white, population have any faith. In Keauforti county about one in ten believe. in Christ, and it is nearly as bad in Martin, I'itt and Wilson These people socially are some of the finest people in the w rld. and if ever converted will be n might,. power for good. - "Every dollar of the $20,000 contri buted to the.

There are, now 2H0 cotton factories either al reiwiy in orerntion or being built. These. reople move in from the connt rv and n"t. le rea"i""I immediately or lost.

Af ter urging these tired, broken down people to come to prayer meet in a- I have gone to my room and cried over my duty. Mr. Smith praised Mr. Er win for his work in the West. Durham factory and said that he was doing great good. Mr. Smith pleaded elo quently for a State law regulating hours of labor, saying that he had heard the. noisei of the sniiidle an hour before day beginning labor for 12 hours and he felt that human life was being ground into a pastery to make greenbacks and some one must inwi'i- for this. "1 speak on this sub ject of factory hours.' said Mr. Smith, "as a great hindernnce to our religi ons work, and the health and happi ness of these people." He declared that many noble, pure, strong characters stood' beside the loom, and the. spindle and no greater field existed in the State than the cotton factory localities of .Vorth Carolina. BIJOrtillTOX KOI! ltEOlLATlOX. Mr. X. B. Broughton said lie had re cently visited some cotton factory places and his heart was stirred so that he felt he must say something on this subject, which was the great pro blem before the Baptistw. A cotton factory is being built every ten days, and these people must, have the go- pei; tier, only tins, hut another- re sponsibility rests on ns. it has been suggested that, no child under 10 years bo allowed in the factory, and no working. hours longer than 12 a- dnv I'lider 10 years, poor cradling things! These people, must be protected, nnd these infants must be saved firm such wrecking and the bodies and souls of thes" over-worked women nnl men an vci by Christian effort. Mr. .1. C. Scarborough artist- to a point, of orilei'j arid said: "r are discussing sending the gospel nnd not legal regulation of working hours, though I agree with Brother Brough ton." The chair overruled the. objection and Mr. Bioughton continued that he was emphasizing the ooint that th report; on factory missions, declared that this over-work of the tevle wai crlpling and thwartinc" the efforts of tho convention. If these pconre arc not saved from this ruin then th fac tories will i:ot. prove a. blessing but a cure to the State. Mil, HOGK OX CHILD LABOR. ' Mev. B. Lacy, lloge, of Concord, fol lowed, declaring 13 hours of laloi were-end u red by the operatives there, and that, the Christian ncople of North Carolina, must, demand leflwl '-restriction.- Mr. lloire said that the factory owners denied thnt children- under 12 were einr.lr.ved, , ' but." said Mr, Hogc. "I have seen children toiling in those factories who are under III. un der, 1(1. under S. years, even ti years old. or else we have a race of dwarfs in Concord."

Dr. Kerfoot was disappointed that the eonventkut had not undertaken more. MR. WHITl-VS KAHIvWKLL. Ilev. John R. White, shorlly after jioon iuldnsced the. convention. This should be a new era fur the Baptists, harmony prevails, great opHrttmities are open, lie hoped that Stats mis sions wc:ild receive a great impetus. Th pleus for the needy sections -the dstituta cast, tlie factory pmblein and the, in gent, itemand of ihe west were strongly recapitulated by Mr. White. Xo one can over-estimate the import ance of the work in factory sections, when 500 country people, are flocking into those localities ' The dread ed, word "strike" has now come, into our vocabulary.
