WORK IN BAPTIST CIRCLES.
The Associations Are Better Than L
Have Eve" Known Them" Says
Rev. Livingston johnson.

Rev. Livingston Johnson, COrre-
spending Secretary of the Baptist State
convention, was seen yesterday by a
News and Observer reporter and asked
about the work in Baptist circles. He
says he is kept away from several as
SociationS this week on account OF
sickness in his family. His wife is re-
covering from a case Of diptheria, but
one of his children has developed the
disease which makes it necessary for
him to stay at home. State Missions
Will be represented at several aSSOcia-
tons by Rev. Hight G. Moore, DR.. Ty-
rec and Mr. Bailey will look after this
interest at the Tar River. Mr.. Johnson
hopes to go to the Mt. Zion today,
which meets at Nelson, on the South
crn, eighteen miles from Raleigh.
He says that the denOminational
outlook in the State is good. Political
excitement seems not to have inter
fered at all so far with the work. THE
Associations are better than / have
ever known them. The attendance is
good and the spirit fine. Not a Dis
cordant note has been heard at any
Association in regard to our State
work. The churches are increasing
their pledges to most of the objects
for next year. A good advance is be-
ing made in State Mission pledges.
You ask about the work Of the
BOme Board among the negroes. The
Home Board of the Southern Baptist
Convention appropriated fifteen thou
sand dollars for the work of eVangeli-
eaton among the negroes on condition
that the negroes will contribute q like
amount, the same to be under the SUI
pervision of an agent appointed by
the Home Mission Board for that pur-
pose. North Carolina did not believe
ibis was a wise policy, not because we
are not in full sympathy with our col
ored brethren in their work, but be-
cause we do not believe they need
evangelization. We think what they
need most is the sympathy, counsel
and announcement of their white
brethren. When the report of the
Home Board suggesting the undertake
ing of this work among the negroes
was submitted to the Southern Bap-
list Convention, North Carolina. Vir-
ginia and Maryland asked that it
would not apply to these States, I'M
less the State Board in each of these
States recommended it. With this
understanding the Home Board began
its work and employed it's secretary
to supervise it. The Negro National
Convention, with which body they
were to cooperate, met in Texas a
few days ago, and there was quite a
warm debate over the matter of SUI
pervision. The negroes seem to have
| been a unit on receiving the fifteen
thousand dollars but many of them
did not want it with any string tied TO
| it. They wanted the money and the
| privilege of managing it as they saw
| fit. AS the Home Board was not will
| ing to concede this point the colorcd
| brethren postponed action for a year
and so the matter goes over for twelve
mr. he n.1r n 10 ion iC. m,

general work, but did notabeleve its
plan for the evangelization of the ne
eroes was a wise one for the reason

all l have to say today"

INTERESTING FACTS
For Nearly Every Man, Woman Oh
Child

a short time ago we published an
article recommending to our readers
the new discovery for the cure of
Dyspepsia, called Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets, and the claims then made re-
garding the wonderful curative prop
critics of the remedy have been abund-
antly sustained by the facts. People
who were cautious about trying new
re NEEDLES advertised in the newspapers
and were finally induced to give
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets a trial were
surprised and delighted at the results.
lii many cases a single package cost
ing but so cents at any drug store
made a complete cure and in every
instance the most beneficial results
were reported. From a hundred or
more received we have space to pub
lish only "a few of the latest, but as
sure our readers we receive so many
commendatory letters that we shall
publish each week fresh list OF
genuine unsolicited testimonials and
never publish the same one twice.
From James Yemmeisle1, La Crosse,
Wis: Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
Going me more good than anything |
ever tried and / was so pleased at re-
suits that | gave away several boxes
to my friends who have also had the
same benefits.
From Jacob Anthony, Portmurray,
New Jersey: / have taken Stuart s
dyspepsia for years and had taken a
great deal of medicine, but the Tablets
seem to take right a hold and l feel
good. / am a farmer and lime burner
and I heartily recommend to every
one who has any trouble with his
stomach to use these Tablets.
From Mrs. M. K. West, Preston,
Mimi. / have received surprisingly
good effects from using Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. L gave one-haf of
my last box to a friend who also suf-
fered from indigestion and she had
the same good results.

difference what their motives were ;
the fact remains that we are licked "
Looking at the election from many
standpo.nts one would naturally sup
pose that it would have great effect
upon this coming Campaign. A few
instances of the uncertainty of elect
ions ia this city might 20 long WAYS
toward showing in the past great
changes have occurred every two
years for some time. In the spring OF
1896 the democrats elected DIR, w. L.
Henshaw mayor. and in the fall OF
the presidential election the reDnbli'
cans carried the town and county by
an overwhelming majority. In 1884
the republicans in return elected W.
T. Henshaw and five councilmeD. Tie
democrats were successful in carving
the county in the fall OF the same
year. In 1900 the republicans elected
the mayor aud the democrats succeed
ed in getting the sheriff. In 1902 we
again elected a republican mayor,
bat the democrats carried most OF the
county offices. Thus. one can readily
see that history repeats itself.
The thing now for the republican
party 30 do is to get ready for the fall
election. The democrats are very
progressive and they must be snccess-
fully net. Not q single thing should
be left undone. Republican princi-
pies are Just as anduring today as they
ever were. They may s0fFer tempor-
airy defeat, but they will cvcntuallv

heresies have proven unqrestionabiy
disadvantageous to the success and
prosperity of this great Nation. In
the doctrines and principles promul9e-

wounds inflicted by democratic mis-
rule. This being true it behooves
each honest and intelligent republi.
