DELEGATES ARE RETURNING.
Many of Those from Richmond Back
from the Convention.

The Richmond delegates are returning
from the session OF the Southern Zap

a few who left Sunday afternoon arrived
here yesterday morning, a large number
came in by the Southern's afternoon
train and most Of the others will ges

had previously visited the beautiful!
Land of the SKY were delighted at tina
opportunity TO do so again. and TO those
who had never been in the mountains o.
Western North Carolina before the pic
turesQue scenery was an enchanting rev.
cation. 1t is the universal opinion that
the convention could not have been held
al a place better suited for such gather
ngs and certainly the noted AshevilIs
section could not have been seen under
more favorable conditions than in this
lovely month of May.
The convention was a good one from
every poins of view. The attendance OF
both delegates and visitors was large
the proceedings were interesting and
harmonious. the reports covering all the
departments of work during the past
year were of a highly gratifying char
acter and there was purpose mani
tested TO press the work this year along
even broader ana more progressive lines
For instance. the delegation from tina
various States pledged themselves to try
and raise 100000 for foreign missions.
The social fea lures of the great meeting
Of Southern Ba ptists surpassed those Of
any previous gatherings of recent years.
