that this was the first city he ever saw,
1t was the first town he ever saw. He
came by the places where Cary and Apex
we're going 10 be, but they were not there
then. Cary was Pages and Apex was
Ellingtons saw mill
Another thing about the congention
here, was that the Legislature was in
session here now, and Mr.. Booth wanted
all the visitors TO go and see "the caIriosi-
ty." They could then go back home and be
politicians They would learn hew to
promise anything and do nothing to carry
out those promises.
The qualification, he thought, was abb
soutey necessary 10 tho successful poli-
tician of the present day, as single
visit to the Legislature would dcnaon-
strate. After that" Mr.. Booth congin-
ued, you can run for office, and of course
the people can't help voting for and elect
ing you, and when we come back to Raj
eigh Wen not be green like they say
some members have been known to be !n
the past. Wen learn how to run for
office at home from duty in Raleigh. and
from our constituents forever after
wards"
Another thing that made Mr.. BootH
think Raleigh a very good place to.
meet in, is that his wife and children;
have been in the city for sometime. "I
didn't marry here in Raleigh" he told
the audience, ''but | did whopping good
part of my courting here And | want TO
tell the young men of Raleigh that if any

and get married The Baptist Female
University is soon 10 be opened and then
you can get whack at your brother-in-
laws sister.
There is still another thing why 1
think it the proper thing for this con-
vention to meet in Raleigh" said Mr..
Booth. "It is the only place in North
Carolina where we would have been well
coined by the Boushall."
From his fun-making Mr. Booth quick
ly turned to thoughts grave and spoke in
eloquent sentences of the christian work
among the young, their enthusiasm and
tireless efforts. He told OF the great
work that the Union, though still in its
infancy, was doing, and closed with a
pretty compliment to Raleigh and her
hospitable people
The exercises of the evening were
closed with an announcement from Mr..
William Bailey. editor of the Biblical
Recorder, that it had been the desire Of
the committee of arrangements TO make
the social feature as prominent as posi-
BILE and with this object in view the Sun
