THE NEW BAPTIST CHURCH.
A Beautiful Building of Modern Style
That WiIISeat l 900

Herewith is presented a cut o. the
First Baptist Church of Durham as 1t
will appear when the rem0delling now
in progress is complete. This church was
organized August 18th, 1845, and the
circumstances out of which it grew are
interesting. Rev. Jimmie Terrell, who
had charge of the Emo Primitive Baptist
Church, which now stands near Brag.
town, away back in the thirties invited
Rev. Jesse Howell to preach for him.
Mr.. Howell was young man and had
new ideas; he held meeting of two
weeks, which became, before ifs close, a
regular revival. This was not at all in
accord with the notions and tradition OF
the "Hardshells," so, when few weeks
later he returned, the church doors were
closed and he was denounced as mis-
sionary.
Mr. Howell then began to preach at q
school house, known as Piney Grove,
which is located in West Durham, back
of what is known as Caswell Heights
Here, at the date given above, the church
was organized under the name Of the
Rose of Sharon Baptist Church, with

Mr.. Howell pastor Soon the congreea
ton built for themselves a church on
the spot south of the railroad, now &C.
cupied by the residence of Mr.. A ID.
Markham.
This was in about the year 1848 and
they worshipped there until the North
Carolina Railroad was built and as this
disturbed them some they accepted a
site on what is now Cleveland street and
occupied by Mr.. John L. Markham's
residence as present from Mr.. John
Strayhorn. Here the church grew until
it needed larger house of worship and
built the brick structure on hangum
street which they have occupied up To
to day. This building was built in 1877
and cost $13, 500 After the war, WHEN
Durham grew up, the name of the oh rch
was changed to the Blptist church Of
Durham and later still it became the
First Baptist church of Durham.
Rev. Jesse Howell had charge of the
church from its foundation in 1845 IN
til 1859 when he was succeeded by Rev
J. @. Markham. In November, 1861, be
was reelected and served until 1854
when be was superseded by Rev. Mr..
Churchill, who served one year and was
succeeded in 1865 by Rev. A. D. Black
wood, who served until November, 1855,
and was succeeded by Rev Jesse Howell,
who again was chosen pa tor and served
until 1871 when he was succeeded by
Rev. f. NJ Jordan. Mr.. Jordan was
succeeded in 1874 by Rev. A. f. Redd,
who gave place in November, 1875, to
Rev. G. Durham, who had charge
of the church until 1870, and
was succeeded then by Rev. Geo. T. Bostic
who is now missionary to China AT

Killed by His own Recklessness.

The passenger train on the Norfolk
and. Western railroad, which arrived here
at $50 last night, killed Robert L. Poin-
dexter, white man, of BroOkneal, Va,
on Staunton river bridge, at about six
o'clock yesterday evening. The circum-
stances are that Poindexter and friend
were walking from Clarkton to Brook
neal and reached the bridge just about
the time the train was due. Though
urged by his companion not to under
take it, Poindexter started out and was
caught on the bridge and killed. There
was short curve in the track just at
the approach to the bridge 50 that the
engineer could not see the man until it
was too late to stop his train. The body
was taken to his home by special en-

10 ENCOURAGE PENlrENrs.

Law Providing for Minimum Sentences
for Good Conviess.
One Of the recently enacted statutes
If the State of Massachusetts is known
as the undeterminate sentence law, and
was passed for the benefit of penitent
criminals, in the belief that such con-
sideration of that class of malefact-
ors would be conducive to the welfare
Of society This law applies only to
Offenses punishable by sentences to the
state prison. Two and a half years is
the shortest term to which any convict
may be sentenced under it, and the
Judge in passing sentence may fix the
minimum at a considerably longer
period. The court also pronounces the
maximum sentence under the law,
which varies according to the circum-
stances, as is the case in all states
When the minimum sentence has been
served out, the board of prison com
missioners examines the convict's
record, and by that and other means
ascertains how he has deported him
self and what are the probable chances
OF his making good use of his time if
set free. On the recommendation of
this board the Governor and council
may release the prisoner, but he goes
out with the remainder of the full
maximum term hanging over him. If
he violates any of the conditions of hts
re1ease-and they are very stringent
oreif he breaks any law of the state, he
goes back to prison to serve out the
maximum term, and the period during
which he has been at liberty is not
reckoned as a part of the term. This
plan is an adaptation of the English
ticket-of-leave.. 1t has the recon-
mendation of the penoIogists, social
scientists, jurists and experienced
legislators. It's advocates urge that
valuable lives may be saved from utter
wreck by giving a young man or woman
who has fallen under temptation a
chance to try again. They urge that
the interests of society and those Of
penitent criminals lie in the same direc-
ton; that the state and the individual
will both be advantaged by giving the
latter an opportunity to repair past
errors. 1t is admitted that great care
and circumspection will be required to
so enforce this law as to make it pub
: lie benefaction, but it's friends are
pledged to use their best endeavors to-
ward making the new departure q
success.

A New Bread Pudding.

A new recipe for bread pudding has
been found and is presented with the
Endorsement of being worth a place in
the appendix leaves of the housekeep
er's cook book. Soak one pint of fine
crumbs in a pint of milk until soft,
add three tablespoonfuls of cocoa dis
solved in little water, three we'll
beaten eggs, half cupful of granu-
lated sugar, and another pint of milk.
Set the pudding dish in a pan of hot
water and bake one hour. Whipped
cream, favored with vanilla, is very
good with this pudding or a sauce
made from a scant cupful of sugar, a
tablespoonful of cornstarch, and a
cupful of water may be used. Cook
the ingredients in double boiler ten
minutes, and just before serving add
an ounce of butter and a half teaspoon
full of vanilla.

quent and powerful congressman, United
States senator and president Of the
worlds gref&est republic, but at this
point he will quite naturally desire his
tory to cease repeating itself. Young
Garfield enters politics in much the
same manner that his father did, but
there is a very marked difference in
their financial conditions at the age of
% years. James A Garfield had fought
a hard fight with poverty from earliest
boyhood and was still poor. James R.
Garfield is rich, and his wife is heir to
: cool million.
In many ways young Jim Garfield, as
his friends call him, is said to be chip
of the old block, but he is particularly
DESTROYS to win his battles strictly on
his own merits and is very reluctant to
trade on the great fame of his sire. 1t
is his ambition to gain legislative expe-
rience in the Ohio senate and then take
his fathers old place in congress from
the old Nineteenth district that pro-
duced such ff1en as Giddings, Wad6 and
James A. Garfield. He is a graduate Of
the Columbia Law school and has been
admitted to practice before the supreme
court of Ohio. When he was nominated
recently, the principal objection made to
him was his very youthful appearance
the very same objection that his father
met and overcame in a similar senate
rial contest SO years ago.

that the undertaken had accidentally

he was preparing for burial, and on
account of his carelessness the fluid
had acted upon the skin and turned it
black in many places. The undertake
er realized that something must BIO
done, and that very soon. 1t would
be out of the question for the family
to learn of the accident For a mo-

mind shortly turned to his artist

relieve him. cit was at night when

that suspicion would be aroused if l

raised the window, and I crawled

I labored silently upon the spotted
