Accomuc Bap.,ss Association.

On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day of this week the Accomac Bap-
fist Association held its ninety-tirst
annual session with the Lower North
ampton Baptist Church. In spite of
the inclemency of the weather, and
the neigh boring Fair at Cape Charles,
the delegation was large one.
Those who might have attended the
Association simply fer pleasure. were
drawn to Cape Charles, and the
audiences at the association were
CHIEFLY composed OF those interested
in the work, and were therefore un>
usually attentive to the discussions.
The familiar faces of Rev. A. B..
Woodtin, D. D., Rev. E. g. Davis,and
Rev. Walter Rhodes, were much
missed in the body. Ali Of the other
pastors were present. Among the
visiting brethren from sister associa-
tions were Rev. A. E. Owen, ID. d.,
of Portsmouth, Va, and Prof j.
Rufus Hunter, PHI. D., of Richmond
College, Va.
All of the officers of the previous
wear were unanimously reelected, as
follows Moderator, Hon. b. j.
Gunter; Vice Moderator, Rev. &. w.
Hurt; Clerk, Rev. j. L. King; Treas
urer, Mr.. Il. 4. boggs.
The subjects considered by the As
ISOLATION were State Missions, Home
Missions, Foreign Missions, Sunday
School and Bible Eoard, Ministers
Relief Fund, the Baptist orphanage
at Salem, Va, ard ;he State OF the
Churches The discussions were able
and inspiring. The meetings were
characterized BY intense Orotheriy
love and real spiritual power.
The Baptists of Virginia are recog-
nized as the foremost Baptlsts III the
world, in their intelligence, their
zeal and their liberality, and the Ac-
conac Association is the foremost
county association in Virginia.
Those who entertained the Asso-
citation at this cession, were lavish
and prodigal in their hospitality,
thus illustrating the fact in 1899, Of
which our Baptist historian, Robert
Semple, spoke in 1909, that For hos
pitaIity and kindness to strangers
the Eastern Shore people, both saints
and sinners, are surpassed by none. "

the intelligence of the community to
have to explain that the charter giv0a
the company no other right to real
estate except to buy, lease and hold
it as a corporate body. 1t compels
no citizen now owning land to sell it,
except at his own option and his own
price. And yet. as might have been
expected, the effect of the Act has al
ready been to increase the demand
for Hog Island lands, and, proper
tionally also, it's value. In what re-
spect, then, can it be claimed that
the Act has violated public faith. or
damaged the interests Of any OF our
people?
Among the names of the incorpor'
ators are three of our well-known'

On Monday, Aug. ID, 1899. the Ac-
comack County Golf Club was duly
organized at Willow Cottage, the
residence OF our esteemed citizen. Mr..
VIM. T. Mason.
The object of this club is to promote
the ancient and royal game of golf
which has been source of pleasure
to
"Scots, wha haze wi Wallace bled,
Scots wham Bruce has often led"
and is still enjoyed by the sons and
daughters of old Caledonia and by
many of other nationa!ities who are
learning to highly appreciate the
game as means of pleasurable and
beautiful exercise.
The club elected as it's president
Mr.. VIM. T. Mason, who is already
considered quite an expert golfer;
and who, being Mason" will see
that broad and solid foundation is
laid so that the club may be estab-
lished on permanent basis. A six
hole course has been laid out by Mr..
Philip Driver of Ridley Park, Pa,
on Mr.. Mason's beautiful plantation,
situated on Nandua and the Chesa-
peake.
There being in all clubs persons
who are not easily led, it was deemed
necessary to have in the Golf Club a
DRYER who will manage the unruly
members thereof The club is al
ready in quite a iourishing condition,
Notwithstanding the fact that there
has been Glitch" In the proceed
ings.
We believe this to be the pioneer
golf club of the Eastern Shore OF
Virginia.

of the Z. Shore Is there, not hopeless
ly benighted, or hide. bound with
ignorant prejudice, that would not
open it's arms to such an opportunity
for it's people. I have put myself to
some trouble TO ascertain how far the
Judgment and wisdom Of the Legis
lature have been justified by results.
l have found no FISHERMAN within
the Jurisdiction of the Act who has
not accorded the Legislature credit
for its passage. So far, the operations
of the association have been merely
tentative and experimental. Wheth-
er the scheme has been abandoned
or not, 1 cannot say. but l do know
that it has already put $4,000 in the
pockets of the Hog Island people and
adjacent boatmen. Who grudges
them the pittances they have already
received, and may yet receive? Sure
ly their field of remunerative employ
ment is limited and precarious enough
at best.
The puerile attempt to mislead the
Judgment and stir up the prejudices
of our people as to the land to be &C
corded the association is hardly de-
serving of notice. The charter limits
its area of planting grounds to 500
aoras or oplv ahout half the amount
the resident incorporators are en-
titled TO hold as citizens of the State.
AS mere trifing fraction of great
body of planting ground lying idle,
unimproved and yalueless TO the
State, it furnishes my opponents too
weak an argument for a waste of
word,. AS to the 5000 acres of Hog
Island real estate, about which so
much is said, it is almost an insult to
