Revival Meeting at Raft Swamp
Church Greatly Revived.

To the Editor of The RObesonian:
For eight months we had been
looking forward with much in
terest and anxiety to the coming
Of Evangelist Braxton Craig, of
the State Board, and his coming
to us was a real blessing to both
pastor and people. Our church and
community were in a receptive
mood, having spent many sea-
sons of prayer and praise serv-
ices together, that the blessed
Christ might be enthorned; and
it was SO. We can but reverent-
ly say that the whole first week
of August was to US one of those
blessed seasons when heaven just
comes down to earth and hovers
about those who delight to do the
will Of the Father.
Bro. Craig's holy zeal and
knowledge of the Scriptures, his
fearless and tender manner of
dealing with men, his burning
eloquence, linked with a strong
faith in Goo. make him an almost
irresistible power and give him
the characteristics of a true evan
gelist. The last day of the meet
ing he made a powerful appeal
to the young people in the Sun
day school in behalf of the bet
ter life; and then spoke to a
packed house on the religious
needs of the grand old State of
North Carolina. He said that
there are 100000 people within
her borders, not counting idiots
and babies, who are not profess
ed Christians, and of this num-
Der more than 10000 are white
people" The people sat with
7 bated breath for more than ar
5 hour and listened while he told
of the work in general that is
being done by our board among
a the destitute sections. But we
must not forget that he paid his
/ respects notably to the good PEG
: pie who make it possible for the
D board to carry on the work, his
Y remarks being based on these
o inspired words: Gas his part il
f that goeth down to the battle
i SO shall his part be that tarrietl
e by the stuff: they shall par
s alike"

A Native of Robson Suffers
Affliction in His Florida
Home.
To the Editor of The Robesonian.
D. L. Townsend, a native Of
Robson county but now a citizen
of Walton county, Florida, has
recently suffered a stroke of
apoplexy at his home at Bruce,
Florida. The last reports from
him indicate some improvement,
though he is still in critical
condition. Mr.. Townsend NOV
ed from North Carolina to
South Carolina some twenty
years ago; thence he moved to
Georgia, where he spent most of
his time teaching school, until
about three years ago when he
moved to Florida, where he was
engaged in manufacturing naval
stores at the time he received his
present affiiction. He lost his
wife about three years ago. He
is at present attended by mos
of his children. He has sever
children, three of whom are fin'
business men, engaged in thu
turpentine business; one is
dentist in a neighboring village
one is a student leading hi
classes at the college at Oxford
Georgia, oneis still a lad at home
while the daughter, a splendi
young woman, remains with he
father and is his faithful al
!endant and housekeeper.
The removal of such familie
from our midst has tended t
impoverish our State; yet the
have these years been enrichin
other States-even to the ia
West.

Revival at Antioch Baptist
Church.
To the Editor of The Robesonian.

To the Editor of The Robesonian.
1t goes without saying that the
recent revival with our church
at Antioch, in Wishart's town
ship, was the most successful
that has been held there in many;
years.
Rev. D. P. Bridgers, pastor of
the church at Smithfeld, came
and preached from Monday, the
10th, to Monday 18th. He very
ably sustained his reputation as
sweet-spirited brother and an
earnest, faithful preacher, great
ly endearing himself to our peo-
pie. Surely the Lord was with
him and his coming among us is
a great blessing.
The meetings began with in
terest and increased with every
service. The order all the way
from the beginning was we'll
nigh perfect and the attention
serious. No high-pressure meth
DDS were introduced and no ex-
element whatever, but the pow
err of God to save lost souls was
gloriously demonstrated in "bless-
ed quietness", and He honored
every message.
We bow in humble gratitude t.
the blessed Master for the noble
company who joined the ranks
and enlisted under the Banner Of
the Cross. There was 80 of this
number; 81 were baptized and ;
were restored.
The church is most graciousl!
revived, the Sunday school is en-
couraged and the community al
E around seems to be determined
! on a higher plain in Christian
living.
At the close of the meeting
! the Lords Supper was observes
/ and it was delightful to see tn
! young converts, together with
very large company of olde
] Christians, partake of the EN-
blems which represent the dea
Savior's broken body and She
; blood.
The Pastor.

Democrats Leaving Party That Has
Allied Itself With the Breweries.
The Ohio Democracy received a
hard blow when Hon. James A. Rice,
leading Democrat of Canton, Ohio, an
nounced that he bolts JudsOn A. Har-
mon. his party's candidate for COVER
nor. Mr.. Rice is one of the best
known Democrats in the state, and
in 1905 was a candidate for attorney
general on the Democratic ticket lie
is member of the state executive
committee, and in announcing his re-
fusal to support Harmon lie tenders
his resignation as a member of the
committee.
Mr.. Rice writes to Chairman Finley
OF the state committee as follows:
Il can not agree with our candidate
for governor that the temperance
question is not an issue in Ohio this
year. The brewing and liquor inter-
estS, under the alias of Personal Lib
erty league. by methods uhat have no
place in clean politics, have gone into
Democratic senatorial districts and
defeated for second nomination
some of the cleanest, brainiest and
most capable men that ever served
our state in legislative capacity"
Mr.. Rice declares that both Bryan
and Taft have announced themselves
clearly on questions not defined in
their national platforms and he says:
'llarmon's argument that he must
abide by only what is in the state
platform is untenable.H
