I,Dat me students were happy and
benefited, and no one regrets having
spent the holidays here.
The reception given by the Y. w. G.
A. deserves special mention. These
young ladies received all the students
and teachers on the campus. Special
instructions were given on all points
of behavior for all occasions. Then
rehearsed for this particular me-. At
the reception all met as strangers.
The girls looked charming in their
simple dainty evening dresses, like
the decoration, and every other detail
was arranged with the most scrupu-
lous care. The refinement and pleas
ure of the entire evening could hard
ly be surpassed. We had a large
number of visitors. Interesting lee
lures were delivered by many. All
were remembered by the dear ones at
home through gifts of various kinds.
Everybody is now settled down to
taro work. The departments for
young men are crowded to overflow
ing; we have also a much larger num-
Der of young women than at any time
before On the campus.

The New Year finds the A. & l.,
State Normal School back to its daily
routine of work, with the enrolment
greatly increased. The accommoda-
ton of new students who are contin-
ually entering is an urgent matter
that claims immediate attention. A
large number OF teachers from va
rious counties in the state have en-
tered the Teachers Training Depart
ment. In spite of the heavy rains,
the back waters, the floods and the
inconvenience in getting to the
school, the average daily attendance
of the school as far as the day stu
dents is concerned has been de.
creased slightly. They remain "a roy.
al band, the chosen few" On Thurs.
day afternoon, January 10th, 1913, at
2 o'clock, in the auditorium will be
held the formal ceremonies Of the de-
dication of this institution. At this

ont, together with the other members
Of the Board of Education and rep
resentatives of the State. All friend;

NEGRO PROPERTY IN NORTH
CAROLINA.

Statistics are rather dry creatures
and often are not to be served to the
patrons of a newspaper too often, yet
sometimes a little study in figures is
not bad. The Star of Zion acknowl-
edges the receipt Of the North Caro-
lima State Tax Commissioners Re-
port for 1912. From this able and
exhaustive report we publish a few
items which we believe will prove of
special interest to our readers.
OF the one hundred counties m
the state there are ffty-one in which
Negroes pay taxes on more than one
quarter of a million dollars of real
and personal property.
In several other counties the amount
is over two hundred thousand, but
does not reach the quarter-million
mark. Here are the ifty-one coun-
ties above referred to:

METH0DISTS OF STATE MEET
Oppose Dropping Of the Word "south"
From Church Name.

Western Npwspa-er Union News Service
Crowley.-The Louisiana Conference
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South. went on record very strongly
as being opposed to changing the name
of the church to the Methodist Epis-
copal Church in America, at the an
nual session held here. The question
was submitted as required by the gen.
eral conference and the vote was 1O3
to 33 against the change.
The work of the conference proceed
ed somewhat slowly because OF Bish-
op Gamblers desire to give a hearing
to every one who desired to speak.
The preachers were glad that the
bishop believes in the old-fashioned
way of having each preacher report
his work. The idea Of having the pre-
siding elders report for the preachers
was never popular In this conference,
and the plan Of giving each preacher
an opportunity to be heard is meeting
with the approval of the ministers.
The reports given to the conference
show that Methodism in Louisiana has
progressed greatly during the last
year. There have been numerous ac
cessions to the church and a large
number have been added by profession
Of faith. The finances Of the various
churches have exceeded the expecta
tions of many Of the preachers, and the
great majority of the charges reported
all collections in full. The number oi
baptisms both OF adult and infant:
have been large.
