1870 the Virginia churches Withdrew

Thenceforward the growth Of the Bap-
lists was steady and rapid until the trou-

lily upon the Baptists. They fed from
that region. Within a short time more
than 1000 families removed to the terri

HISTORY OF
NORTH CAROLINA
BAPTIS[S
By Rev. J. D. Huffman, D. D.
Grom the Biblical Recorder.)

(Er0m the BlDllcdl hecOruSFJ
There we're Baptists among the earlier
settlers in North Carolina. They came
from different quarters drawn partly by
the spirit of adventure but more by the
offer of religious liberty.
They were to be found at am early day
scattered in groups throughout the col
ony. From the year 1890 to the present
time their footprints may be found IL
every part of the State. They did not be-
gin to organize churches, after the elab-
crate fashion of our day until the year
1927. In that year Paul Palmer organ
lied what is now the church at Shiloh
in Camden county. From the first it had
q vigorous existence and with one ex-
ception no other church in the State has
been so prolific parent of churches.
Within the counties of Gates, Chowan.
Perquimans, Pasquotank, Camden and
Ourrituck, there are more than sixty
churches which have sprung from this
parent stock, and these churches have IA
white membership Of nearly 1000. The
colored are almost as numerous with al
most as large membership. In Virgin
ia also there are many churches which
have sprung from the old body at Shiloh.
The founder, Mr.. Palmer, was a native
of Maryland, man of Astounding energy,
a natural talent for organizing and
leading men, a courage that never quail
ed in the presence of danger or opposi-
tion, and had that indescribablc thing
called magnetism which draws men
From the year 1927 until his death ex-
tending his labors into Virginia in one
direction and through Craven and Ons-
low counties Ito the borders of South
Carolina in another.
In .1129 the second church was organ
lied at Meherrin near Murfreeshoro. In
1912 another was formed at Kehukee,
in Halifax county. From this in 1850
came the church at Sandy Run, BERTHE
county, which was the parent of a num-
erous ecclesiastical progeny in North
ampton. BERTHE and Hartford counties
From the same church at Kehukee came
the church at Falls of Tar River in 1745.
Into the fellowship Of this church Elisha
Battle, perhaps the most eminent private
citizen if North Carolina, in his day, was
baptized. He was member of family
of dissenters that fled from persecution
to Ireland and thence to Nansemond
county, Virginia. He filled many high
stations under the government in North
Carolina, and many times presided over
the church assemblies of which he was an
honored member
In 1855 colony of Baptists came
from New England through Virginia in
to Randolph county, and settled on
Sandy creek, where they organized a
Baptist church Churches multiplied
very rapidly in the surrounding counties,
and the movement spread into Tennessee.
South Carolina and Georgia. In 175S
the church at Sandy Greek with the
neighboring churches and some in Vir-
ginia and South Carolina, organized the
Sandy Greek Association. This was the
first effort TO organize the BAPTIST
churches in North Carolina for united
and aggressive work.
The TEelsukee Association was form
ed in 176S This body included number

was succeeded by j. j. James, man of
great force Of character, rugged COM
mon sense, excellent education, and a
ready writer. For seven years j. H.
Mills, a singularly versatile man, filled
the editorial chair and gave to The Re
corder a new position and influence a.
mong the Baptist Journals of the South.
G. I. Bailey, a man of pre-eminent gifts,
was editor for twenty years, and he gave
to the paper the largest circulation and
the greatest influence that it had held.
OF his son, the present editor, it is
enough to say that he bids fair to go
beyond the success of his father.
In 1882 the first steps were taken to-
ward establishing Wake Forest College.
and in February. 1884, it was opened as
Wake Forest Institute. Dr. Samuel
Wait presided over the institution for
eleven years He was succeeded by Dr.
William Hooper, and he by DIR. JnO. B.
White. The latter was succeeded by DR.
William Wingate, native OF South
Carolina, who held the office for twenty
five years and won for himself an ex-
tensiye and enduring reputation as
teacher, preacher and administrator. On
his death DR.. Thos. FL. Pritchard was
called to the presidency of the institu-
ton, and he was succeeded by the pre-
sent incumbent, DR. Chas f. Taylor,
who is a native OF Virginia and an
alumnus of Richmond College and OF the
University Of Virginia. His administra-
ton has been singularly successful The
endowment has been increased to $780,
900; new schools have been added AMI
the patronage increased. Within the
last two years schools of The Bible and
of Law have been established and it is
likely that a school of medicine will be
added during the present year. The en-
rollment of students for the year is 245
President Taylor is still in the prime Of
life, and his administra ton gives
promise Of even larger success in the
years to come.
The Baptists have two female Semina-
ries. One OF them is at Murfreesboro
which was founded in 1S4S. The other
is at Oxford. The buildings for the Bap-
fist Female University i'm Raleigh are
in process of erection. 1t is probable

In 1888 the Baptist Interpreter was

VBaptists of North Carolina, and into 1t

PENNSYLVANIA and a graduate of the
University of that State. He came to
\ North Carolina and settled in Edenton

that the first of them will be completed
during the present year.
While the Baptists have been pushing
the work Of education in its various
branches and have been sustaining The
Recorder, their chief strength has been
expended in the work of missions at
home and abroad
The prosecution of this work is en-
trusted TO a Board located in Raleigh.
The chief executive officer is also Cor
responding Secretary Of the Convention.

within the gift Of the denomination. 1t

THE KICKER

Kicking in the morning
Kicking all the day,
Kicking il he's busy,
Kicking at delay,
Thus the chronic kicker
Fills his life with woes,
browning. grumbng, wrangling
Everywhere he goes.
Nothing ever suits him,
Always finding fault;
Every kind of pleasure
He is sure to halt.
Scowling at the children,
Growing at his wife;
Turning peace and comfort
Into constant strife.
Kicking if the weather
Happens to be dry;
Kicking when the rain is
Tumbling from the sky.
Kicking in the summer,
Heat has then no charm;
Kicking in the winter,
Then he'd have it warm.
Kicking every mealtime,
Glaring at the meat;
Often he is saying,
Nothing fit to eat"
Kicking when he's reading,
Grumbling at the light:
Now and then denouncing
Everything in sight.
Kicking in the morning,
Kicking all the day:
Kicking i'm the evening,
Kicking should he pray.
Kicking while he's thinking,
Kicking when in bed.
Wonder il he'll keep ON
Kicking when he's dead

The Steamer Truckee Wrecked.

Last Thursday the steamer Truck
ee, bound for San Francisco became
disabled in the storm. When of
Coos Bay she attempted to go into
that harbor, but the wind drove her
onto the north sand spit after cross
ing the first bar, and she became a
total wreck. The crew were res
cued by the members of the life saw
ing station.
The Truckee left Yaquina the
first of the week with a miscella-
neous cargoin her hold. From here
she went to Tillamook, where she
took OH a deck load of lumber and
then started for San Francisco. She
was caught in the gale of last week
and her engines were disabled rem
her helpless. She attempted
to sail into the harbor, but the wind
was to strong.
Considerable interest is NANTES
ted by home merchants about her
cargo, several of them having ship
ments on her consigned to San
Francisco.
