CONGRATULATIONS.

We would congratulate our friends
of the First Baptist church upon the
important epoch in their church
history which occurred Sunday,
under such happy circumstances-the
laying of the corner stone of their
new and commodious house of
worship, the details of which appear
in our news columns this week.
Under the wise direction of their
universally beloved pastor, Rev. DR..
III. A. Brown, the congregation of
the First Baptist long ago outgrew
their facilities for worship and more
commodious quarters became a
necessity. And yet they were con-
fronted by the further fact that the
lack of considerable means would
necessitate struggle and self sacrifice
to meet the demands upon them.
Undaunted, however, by these unto
ward circumstances, they took hold
of the work with commendable faith
and energy and have arrived at the
cornerstone period free from debt
and with some money on hand for
the further prosecution of the un
| dertaking, exemplifying the truth OF
the saying that the way to do a
| a thing is to do it.
The satisfactory progress that has
been made up to this time is en-
couraging and will, doubtless, prove
a stimulus in pushing forward the
building, which, when completed, will
be one of the most modern as we'll as
one of the handsomest church
edifices in the State.
1t is but just to say that great
credit is due to the untiring energy
of the Building Committee in plan
ming wisely, In arousing and sustain
ing deep interest and in successfully
executing. The ardor of the com
mittee was transmitted, as if by cleo
| trio current, to the entire membership,
male and female, and to the children,
and in conseqnce the work has pro-
crossed steadily from it's incipieney
and hope is bright for the successful
elimination of the gigantic labor OF
love.
| We commend such earnestness in
striving for great need and we be.
speak for these workers in the Master Is
vineyard the encouragement, by
word and deed, of all our people.

SUPERSTITION has not been entirely
relegated to the past, notwithstand
ing the progress of civilization. As
much superstition hovers about the
number 13, probably, as any other
single object. We are reminded OF
this by the fact that the government
of the United States yielded to the
supertitious by emitting the number

In opposition TO the idea that
trusts cheaper the price of products
to consumers, the News and Observer
mentions the fact that the price of
printing paper has advanced halt
cent per pound since the organization
of the paper trust, q few months ago.
The trusts may be depended upon to
look carefully after No. l, regardless
of what may become of consumers.
They are built that way and are
protected by the Republican party.

APPOINTMENT of officers for the
volunteer troops goes along, but as
yet there is no general for North
Carolina. One trouble appears to be
the failure of our Representatives to
unite upon a man for the honor-a
trouble for which North Carolina
has become somewhat conspicuous
and which has cost her several
plums.

spoke at the Enion service in the

more than that, it is the sentiment
of the outside world; a1d in nine
