With its JOY and with its pain!
There's a minor in the CAROL
And a shadow in the light,
And spray Of cypress twining
With the belly wreath tonight
Ard the hash Il never troken
BY laughter, light and low,
As we listen III the starlight
To the bells across the snow
0 Christmas, merry Christmas
lis not SO very long,
(Since others voices blended
With the carol and the song!
II we could but hear them singing,
AZ they are singing now;
If we could but see the radiance
OF the crown on each dear brow;
There would be no sigh to smother.
No hidden tear to How;
As we listen in the starlight,
To the bells across the snow"
0 Christmas, merry Christmas
This never more can be;
We cannot bring again the days
OF our unshac owed gleel
But Christmas, happy Christmas,
Sweet herald of good will;
With holy songs Of glory
Brings holy gladness still.
For peace and hope may brighten,
And patient love may glow,
AS we listen in the starlight
To the bells across the snow"

THE \. G. FREIGHT ASSOCIATION

Eternal vigilance is the price of lb-
erty." is an old maxim. The business men
Of North Carolina have learned that it is
also the price Of success in manufactur-
ing and in all other business ventures.
For years they have been pressed down
and Disseminated against by freight
charges which have diminished dividends
in prosperous years and prevented prof
liable running in times of depression like
the present.
The manufacturers and shippers have
not organized to get fair rates out of any
hostility to the railroads, but purely for
the protection and advancement of their
own business. We publish elsewhere in to-
days paper statement from Mr.. Caesar
Cone. president of the association, giving
the purposes for which it was organized.
The average freight rate paid by North
Carolina lis SO cents, against Georgia's %
cents, Lynchburg's 40, and New Eng

scattered throughout the United States,
and it will be found that North Carolina
is at II great disadvantage. When it
comes TO freight inward on coal and raw
material. we are at even greater Adisad-
vantage, for example: Pocahontas coal,
which is mined about two hundred and
fifty miles from us, costs three dollars
and half to four dollars all of which is
freight. except about ninety cents per ton.
Our New England competitors buy coal
from the same mines for less than two
dollars per ton. delivered at Norfolk. Va,
-four hundred miles from the mines)
which allows them to land coal ut their
mills for about three dollars per ton.
These facts show the necessity for the
organization that has been perfected.

BAPT1sTs AT WILMINGTON.
savannah's Delegates to the Three
Conventions.

The delegates and visitors from Savan-
nah to the Southern Baptist convention
at Wilmington, n. c., which convenes
Thursday, win leave Wednesday after
noon. They are Mr.. and Mrs. c. D. Bald
win and Capt. and Mrs. c. S. Ellis Of the
First Baptist, and Rev. James d. Chap
man, Mr.. A. L. Myer Mr.. John c. Pervis
and Mr.. George W. Haupt Of the Duffy
Street Baptist church.
The convention will be threefold in it's
drawing powers. The American Baptist
Educational Society and the Baptist
Young Peoples Union will both meet at
Wilmington on Thursday, though the
meeting will be held at different churches
Each of these organizations is in itself
a large body, and their conventions are
well attended
The American Educational Society, of
which Rev. James d. Chapman, by virtue
OF his being trustee of Mercer University
is member, has done a great deal of
good throughout the country in the en-
dowment of educational institutions, ard
there is not Baptist school
In the United States that has not profted
by its aid. Mercer University has re-
ceived $4,000 from the society, and it was
through it that John D. Rockefeller con-
trlbuted $S,0O,000 to the Chicago Uni
versity.
Rev. John d. Jordan, who has been
called to the pastorate of the First Bap-
fist church, is general secretary of the
Baptist Young Peoples Union, and he will
decide at the convention whether he will
accept the call.
The Southern Baptist convention is the
largest religious body in the world. The
denomination does not arrogate any great
degree of credit or take such great pride
in this fact, but it nevertheless is true.
The Bapusts are the only denomination
having such a system that would draw to-
gether so many representatives, and it is
to that they attribute the size of the con-
vention, and not to superior numbers or
power. There will be between 800 and 1000
delegates in attendance.
The next convention will be asked for
by Bristol, Tenn, and it is expected it
will be held there. The Savannah dele
gates viii leave Wilmington on their re-
turn Tuesday of next week
