The question which was under discus
sion at Adjournment yesterday came up,
namely, the resolutions in regard to State
aid and l.. j.. Smith opposed the paper.
Drs. Yates and Kilgo spoke in favor of
same.
Yesterday in DIR. Kilgo's speech, he re-
ferred sarcastically to the secular press
and certain politicians in the State who
do not look with favor upon the move
ment against State aid. He said no secu-
lar paper in the State had published the
resolutions he offered here, which were
also offered at the Western Conference
at Salisbury some weeks ago, and asked
why?
VIVA VOCE VOTE ON STATE AID"
DR.. Kilgo won his fight to-day by a
substantial majority though not without
division that makes it a barren victory.
All the morning was taken up with an
earnest and animated discussion upon
the resolutions. The debate opened with
a strong. speech by l.. l.. Smith, of Gates,
who protested against bringing this ques
ton which has become political into the
domain of the church. Presiding Elders
Hall and Swindell and Rev. Al d. Belts
spoke in like vein and their speeches
made a profound impression upon all.
Or. Kilgo, DIR. Yates, Rev. 0glesby spoke
for the resolutions Rev. n. FL. d. Will
son and DIR. Cyrus Thompson were trying
gto get the floor to speak in opposition to
tthe resolutions when the friends of the
resolutions pressed a motion to call the
preyious question, thus cutting off all
further debate. AS it was q viva vOce
vote no one can tell accurately the pro
portion, but there was very large min
DIRTY that recorded itself against the res
ilution. Several preachers declared the
paper presented was not the extreme
around taken by the Baptists. but only
against free scholarships.
;The paper question discussion took up
he whole afternoon and is not yet set
tlhd.
9rhe annual missionary meeting was
held tonight and interesting addresses
were delivered by Col J. s. Carr and
Ds. Kilgo.
