swiftly disposed of, so that at 80 |
o'clock last evening they adjourned to
meet next year at Elizabeth City.
The third days session of the Baatist
state convention was called to order yes
terday morning by President Marsh and
the usual devotional exercises were held.
A motion was made to reconsider the
vote by which the resolution offered by
Rev. r. 7. Vann on Saturday authorizing
J the state board Of missions to borrow
money to pay missionaries salaries. This
resolution was intended that as the
board often finds an empty treasury when
salaries are due, they can arrange to bor-
row and pay the preachers the money
which they need.
j P. Hopgood, J. G. Scarborough, N.
B. Broughton and others addressed the
convention on the motion to reconsider,
and on a vote the convention decided to
let the matter remain as it passed Satur.

Rev G. Durham then read the report
of the trustees of Wake Forest college,
which i, as follows:
The present endowment is about $l85,
900, and the Bostwick fund which is
auout Sl5 ZOO For three months past
the president has been relieved of all
responsibility for the internal admins
tration of the college, which has been
managed by Prof w. L. Poteat. Never
has there been better behavior and better
work in the history of the college than
: during the present session and never a
!, larger proportion of promising young
: men at the institution. The number of
> students for the session of 1S9O-91 was
T 233 and the number for 1928 is 1856
and not likely to be more than 200. This
! decrease may in part, be accounted for
< by the short crops, low prices consequent
q financial distress of our people, but after
\ due considerali n it is believed the de-
!. crease is due largely to the sharp compe
tition by the state University; the re-
quirements for admission and graduation
in the A B course are practically the
same in both institutions. THIS, with
the large number of free scholarships
provided. not by taxation, but by dona
a tions extensively offered and to which
