Apology Demanded of the Gold
Leaf.

Editor Henderson Gold Leaf.
In my article, entitled Rotten
Shows" which appeared in your
paper last week you did me a
grave injustice, for which I de-.
mand immediate reparation and
apology. | said that | had been
suffering from a rather severe
attack of Indignation You
gaxDfed this statement so as to
make thread, suffering from a
rather severe attack of ir1diges-
'tion." To make this charge
against a man whose philosophy
is rather strongly favored with
the teaching of the epicurean
school is no small offense. I
have just called up the lady in
whose home | am to dine this
evening, begging to assure her
that your charge is a libel. You
cam easily see how seriously |
might suffer from your misrepre-
sentation, especially since the
News and Observer has copied
your version of my article. I
leave it to your sense of honor
and justice to conteract, as, far
as possible, the false impression
for which you are responsible. I
would modestly suggest also that
you read in Henry Sydnor Har-
rison's great work, "Queed, ="
the treatment prescribed by the
assistant editor of the Post"
for such offenses as the one now
under consideration.

STATE BAPTIST CONVENTION.
Body Adopts Strong Resolutions
VIII Hold Next Meeting at
Goldsboro.

At the State Baptist Conven-
ton held at Winston-Salem last
week, the report of the COM
mittee on temperance was read
by John A. Oates. The first
part of the report recounted
briefly the history of the pro-
hibition movement in North
Carolina and urged to yet greater
activity the temperance prohibit
ion sentiment throughout the
entire State.
The latter part of the report
was expressed as fellows:
We commend our faithful
preachers, urspress and Sunday
school workers for their good
work in temperance reform and
we feel assured that they will
continue the wholesome educa-
ton of our people in practical
temperance.
I'VE commend those news
papers in North Carolina that re-
fuse to carry liquor advertise
ments.
1--WE favor a strong national
law protecting prohibition terri
tory from the interstate COM
merce in liquors.
I'VE most emphatically disap-
prove the policy of our national
government in granting liquor
license in prohibition territory,
and declare it to be an unholy
alliance with anarchy and bold
disregard of the plain rights of a
sovereign people. "
The last days session was de-
voted chiefly to the church Or
phange and State missions.
F. P. Hobgood submitted the
report Of the Thomasville Or
phange, which made an excellent
showing.
The report on State missions
was presented by w. A. John
son. 1t recommends that $780,
900 be raised the ensuing year.
It shows that there are 23O,
Baptists in North Carolina with
1851 churches.
A resolution by'Dr. J. j. Hall
calling upon congressman of
North Carolina to be active in Sc
curing legislation to stop the ex-
portation of liquor from wet
States into North Carolina terri
tory was adopted. A resolution
favoring the peace treaties also
was adopted. .
Goldsboro was selected as the
place for holding the session of
1912. Rev. L. E.. Davis, of
Windsor, was named as preacher
of the Introductory sermon, and
Rev. J. c. Turner, of Green's
borO, as alternate.

BroWn-Moss Marriage.

Correspondence of the Gold Leaf.
Mr.. Richard Brown and Miss

married in the parlor of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. B. Glenn's home on
Chavasse avenue Wednesday
evening, December 9Th, at 6
o'clock. Rev J. A. Mcclure per-
formed the ceremony. The par
lors of the Glenn home were
beautifully and artistically dec
corated for the occasion with
palms, ferns, chrysanthemums
and potted plants and a pretty
scene greeted the bridal party as
they entered the room.
Mr.. Frank Fort, of Oxford,
was best man, and Mrs. w.
B. Glenn, sister of the groom,
was matron of honor. The bride
wore a navy blue travelling suit
with hat and gloves to match,
and was usnuually pretty and
attractive on that occasion.
After the ceremony a sump-
tuous supper was served in the
dinning hall, which had been
decorated in a very pretty style
for the wedding supper. 1t was
served in the usual way and was
a very enjoyable part of the oc-
caSiOn.
The groom is a very prominent
and we'll known young man and
is assistant to the postmaster at
Oxford. His bride is a cultured
and refined young lady who has
a host of friends in Oxford and
elsewhere that wish her and her
husband a long and happy life
together.
Mrs. and Mrs. Brown, will
make their home at Oxford.
