Flat River Baptist Association.

The Flat River Baptist Association
met with Rock Springs church, in
this county, Tuesday morning of
this week and adjourned late yester-
day afternoon, after one of the most
prosperous, harmonious and largely
attended sessions in its history.
Rev. c. H. FOuntaine was elected
moderator, and Rev. c. H. Ryan, of
ROxbOro, preached the Introductory
sermon. Nearly all the churches of
the Association were represented,
only two failing to send in their let
ters. Only one of the State secreta-
ries was present, Rev. f. l.. Middle
ton, representing the Sunday school
work.
The digest of the church letters
read by Prof. F. p. Hobgood, of Ok
ford, showed the remarkable and
gratifying increase OF 100 per cent.
in contributions made to home mis-
sions by the churches of the Associa-
ton, this increase being almost
wholly due to the laymen's mission
ary movement. Encouraging prog
ress was noticed in almost all lines OF
the work of the Church, and the min,
listers and delegates must have gone
back to their homes with much en-
thusiasm to impart to the various
churches they represented.
The meeting was characterized
throughout by the abundance of pro.
visions on the grounds, there being
enough to supply all the deleg ates as
we'll as the many visitors from Hen,
derson and the regions round about
A motion to fix the date of the next
meeting for October was lost. The
next meeting of the Association will
be held at Virgilina the second week
in July, 1912. Rev. Witherspoon,
of Oxford, was chosen to preach the
Introductory sermon at that time.
The large tent belonging to the
Vance county Baptist Union had
been erected on the grounds for the
purpose OF holding preaching, and
from two to three sermons were
preached in it each day. These ser
vices were greatly enjoyed and were
a decided feature of the meeting.
The good people of the Rock
Springs community did themselves
proud in their royal entertainment
OF the Association, for which they
received much praise on all hands.

Uncle Sam went ahead and gave
Spain a sound thrashing for blowing
up the battleship Maine, and several
years later decided to investigate the
matter in order to ascertain if posi-
ble whether the explosion which sank
the Inflated battleship in Havana
harbor was from the outside or the
inside. But even il it is shown con-
clusViely that the explosion was
from the inside and that Spain there
fore had nothing whatever to do
with it, We can console ourselves
with the fact that Spain was very
much in need OF u sound drubbing
just at that time and hence didn't
get a lick amiss We all know that
if Spain didn't blow up the big bat
tleship, she was wanting it done
mighty bad.

Lightning Strikes Church Steeple

During the heavy thunder storm
and torrential downpour OF rain here
yesterday afternoon between 4 and
D o'clock a bolt of lightning struck
the steeple of the Presbyterian
church, which was at the time under
going repairs, and left it with the ap-
pearance OF being hit with a twelve
inch shell. When the storm came up
the workmen who were engaged in
taking the old shingles off the steeple
and replacing them with new ones,
retired into the Vestibule of the
church just under the steeple to
avoid the rain, and thus had a very
narrow escape with their lives, al
though none Of them were badly
shocked.
The bolt of lightning, which came
with fearful crash, tore the rafters
apart at the top and scattered a
small load OF shingles in every direc-
tion, some OF them being thrown at
least fifty yards. The lawn and
street in front of the church were al
most covered with them, and some
were thrown clear over the church
and Sunday school rooms into the
back yard, while others were thrown
upon the roof of Mr.. A. c. Zollicof-
fer's residence near by. Members of
Mr.. Zollicoffer's family were right
badly shocked.
DR.. F. r. Harris office is located
on the side of the church next to the
steeple and within five or six feet of
it. DR.. Harris was in his office at
the time, and while he was not
shocked he said it appeared as il
balls of fire we're rolling all around
his Office. The wood work on the
upper part OF the steeple caught on
fire but was quickly put out by the
torrent OF rain that was falling.
The extent OF the damage to the
steeple and the church has not vet
been nfully investigated, but it is not
thought to be very great. The re-
pairs that we're being made will go
right along. This is the second
time the steeple has been struck by
lightning.

The government requires that a
citizen must take an oath to support

sue to a citizen a license to sell liquor
in a prohibition state and thus help

it must be admitted that the cotton
