NC.76

yesterday gave a favorable report to
Senator Barham's bill to provide
compensation to the Superior Court
judges for holding special terms OF
court. The bill takes away the pros
vision of law for paying the judge
his actual expenses when holding a
special term, but directs that he be
paid at the rate of one hundred doll
lars per week when holding a special
term. There was not a vote in op-
position to the measure, and the conn
mittee being composed of lawyers it.
was remarked by several that such
an act would permit the various bars
to secure the judge they might want
to hold special term, as the judges,
would serve more willingly if they
should be compensated for their SER
vices.
The bill by Senator Dawes relating
to bills of lading, said to have been
prepared by President ]. F. Brutou
of the North Carolina Bankers Asso-
citation, will be considered at a meet
ing of the committee next Friday
Two hundred copies will be printed.
A bill will be introduced in the
Senate to amend section 3S17 of the
Revisal of 1905, providing that every
licensed dealer of dynamite, car
| tridges, bombs or other combustibles
shall cause to be posted in a promi-
nent book of registration the name
and residence of every person buying
dynamite, bombs or other high ex-
plosives, and that same book of reg
istration shall be open to the public
for inspection and there shall be fill
ed with the county board, at the end
of each year, a list of names of ev-
cry purchaser. Nothing in this act
shall be construed to apply to the
sale of such fire crackers or other
fireworks as are licensed to be sold
in any town, city or community, by
local authorities.

LETTER FROM REV. ELY.

To The FORUM
There are a few facts l would like
to relate through the columns of your
valuable paper. In May, 1908, was
called from good church in Bloom
ington, and where / would have been
until now, to the New Hope Baptist
church of Springfield. III. l resigned
my charge, sold off my things, and
came to them. l labored hard and
did the very best / could under the
disadvantageous circumstances. My
health failed, and after closing
three weeks meeting l went to my
mothers in Indianapolis for weeks
rest.
On my return l was confronted with
request from a part of my deacons,
in the name Of the church, to resign
right away. The reason was my
preliminary" was too long before and
after service. They also admitted
that all that was said in those prelim-
inaries was good" "all right" and
ought to said, but they did not have
time to listen to them.
Turned out Of doors, with family,
in the dead Of winter, for preaching
the truth. Those are the Kind of off,
GERS that New Hope Baptist church
have. and suffers them to remain so.
We also found true and staunch
friends, in and out of our congrega-
ton. If 1t had not been for those
good people we would have been in a
suffering condition. We left Spring
field on the 18th of February; preached
for the Second Baptist church at La
fayette, Ind, on the Goth and 28th. On
the 5th of March was extended an
unanimous call to the church. l will
begin my labor there the 21st of this
month.
am now visiting Rev. S. S. Schism,
Of Danville, Ill.,, and we are having a
great time. The church has been re-.
vived, and many souls have been
saved. Rev. Schism is a fine man, and
his church loves him and will not ask
him to resign soon. He has great
people. God bless The Forum.
