Baptists of the State Plan Extensive Foreign Mis-
 siOnary Work
By JOHN IT. EVANS

Asheville, N. C., October 7.-(Special) ) The Rev. Braxton Craig, the field secre- tary of the Judson foreign committee on missions of the Southern Baptist conven- tion, who is here, announces that the sum of s1o.0O0 has already been raised towards North carolina's share of sso,oO0 of the H,25o,O0O which has been appro- priated by the convention for foreign mis- sions as memorial to the late Mission ary Judson, who was the first white mis- sion worker to enter the foreign fields years ago from America.
 The work in North Carolina is most encouraging and members of the Baptist church in the state are highly elated over what has already been accomplished for the cause, and they do not anticipate any trouble in raising the entire amount which has been allotted to the state. Ae- oording to the Rev. MT Craig, the mls- sionary cause is meeting with generous response wherever the appeal is explained and the Judson appeal is taking well with the members of the church. It Is expected that the million and quarter set aside by the Southern Baptist con |. vention at the Chattanooga convention of some months ago will be raised with but little trouble.
 Baptists in Birmingham, Atlanta, Ashe- ville, Louisville Nashville and other cities throughout the south are thoroughly aroused over the big missionary under taking in the foreign fields and they arc confident of accomplishing their efforts, shortly, Recently, leading Baptist minis ters from different churches of that de- nomination in the south gathered in Ashe- vile and discussed plans for an aggres- sive campaign to raise the s1,250,00o Jud- sor memorial and there was much en- thusiasm displayed at thls conference One of the leading members of the South ern Baptist convention, who was present at the Asheville conference. was the Rev. Preston Blake, the pastor of the South side Baptist church of Birmingham
 The Judson foreign mission movement is one of the largest movements attempt co by the Baptists of the south for years. Raleigh, N. C., proposes to donate one of the largest sums of any other city in the entire south towards the cause.
 Asheville Baptists, who are quite strong ir influence, finances and numbers, will likewise do their share towards the big cause.

Ed munds. featured the regular weekly luncheon of the Rotary club held at o'clock yesterday at the Tutwler More than 125 Rotarians were present, and standing room in the ballroom at the Tutwiler was at premium. It was the occasion of the first Rotary lunch at the Tutwiler under the permanent arrange ment with the hotel management.
 P. G. Shook was the first speaker on yesterdays programme, talking on the affect of the war upon his business-iron. Each speaker was given five minutes Tt would be a difficult matter for me to state in five minutes all that has hap pened to my business since the war broke out" said Mr. Shook beginning. ''I am not pessimist, either. The war has af- fected very materially the iron and steel business in this country, due, primarily, to the very serious effect it has had on financial conditions This disturbance in the financial world has resulted in a cur tailment of the operations of railroads and of the companies that handle steel products. and this has had the effect of reducing the demand for raw pig iron about 50 per cent
 Little Foreign Demand
 There has been no foreign demand to speak of. In the first place, we cannot ex- port pig iron in the raw state because the foreign countries want the finished product No pig iron has been consumed in South America. These countries in- volved in the war are now in the market for large quantities of such material as they can use in the war.
 T do not personally believe that our trade with South America is going to amount to anything for a long time. think it will be slow of development for many reasons. In the first place, ship ping facilities must be had, and the government has taken the right step in
