Convention Votes to ConSoli-
date Foreign Mission Jour-
nal and Home Field
BY ALEX w. BEALER.

ASHEVILLE, n. c., Nay 2O.-The
foreign mission board was again put
on trial before the Baptist convention
today. DR.. George W. Truett, of Texas,
to whom had been referred the question
of consolidating the Foreign Mission
Journal and the Home Field, reported
recommending that the matter be de-
ferred for a year.
DR. j. j. Taylor. of Savannah. made
spirited attack on the matter con-
tanned i'm the magazines and on the
price charged for them His remarks
were very insinuating. seeming to in
fer that there was an element of poll
tics in the committee work. President
Burrows raped him down and said: 81
must warn the brother that he is dan
gerously near being out of order by
induleing in personalities"
On another point delegate from the
floor asked DR.. Taylor in what respect
the COMMITTEES had been trying to de-
ceive the people. He declared that he
was not rejecting on any one, but
was simply stating facts.
The convention voted down the recon-
mendation to put off the consolidation
showing that it was almost the unani-
nous sentiment of the convention to
make one magazine to be published by
the Sunday school board.
Then the report of the committee
on foreign missions recommending the
reduction of the force was taken up.
DR.. H. w. Virgin, of Virginia, read
some figures and claimed that there
had been a lack of business methods
in managing the affairs of the board.
DR.. Lloyd T. Wilson, of Virginia, a
member of the foreign mission board.
disputed the figures of DIR. Virgin, de-
claring that he had made an error in
his calculations. DR.. Wilson said he
had urged that the cutting on the field
secretaries, but he thought it would
De a mistake to have only two secre-
taries. This would work a hardship
or DR.. Love, as ii would put on him
more work than two men could do.
The convention, with Vice President
J. B. Lawrence in the chair, got into
a parliamentary tangle. 1t was finally
relieved by the previous question be-
ing called.
The convention adopted the whole re-
port, which means that there will be
a consolidated magazine published by
the Sunday school board, there will be
but two secretaries of the foreign board
and there will no longer be any field
secretaries.
The only change made in the person
mel of officers of the various boards
OF the convention was the selection of
S. Y. Jameson, of Marietta, Ga, to
succeed L. E. Barton, of Atlanta, Ga,
as recording secretary of the home mis-
sion board. a number of changes were
made in the state and local members of
the boards.

will be increased as the needs of MEM
beTs increase.
The exchange is planning with the Co
operation of, the United States govern
ment to establish an authoritative At
lanta market on farm products, such as
hay grain, cattle, hogs and variety OF
other products. This department will
be of inestimable value to the agricul-
tural interests of the state, as the gov
eminent will arrange for local buyers at
concentration points to buy in small
lots and make up carload shipments for
Atlanta, and the Atlanta quotations will
be available every day for these buy
ers The exchange expects to gradual
ly extend this department to cover all
important farm products.
In addition to the foregoing facilities,
the exchange has board showing daily
quotations on foreign exchange; a spe-
cial weather board. and has direct leased
wire connections with New York and
New Orleans both by telegraph and tel
ephone.
Already the exchange has made its
influence felt in a most valuable and
beneficial way where local business in
terests are concerned, and as it grows
and develops it will become more and
more of a factor in the commercial life
of the city and the state.
In the last week the cotton commit q.
tee of the exchange has taken up with
local traffic officials of the railroads the
matter of securing an extension of the
cotton concentration privilege from AU-
gust / to December 81, and the traffic
officials have promised their cooperation
in securing the extension. This alone
will mean a saving of $4,000 or more
in handling Ine next seasons cotton
crop through Atlanta.

Baseball Come
Without Guards

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 1s.-Murder-
ers, burglars, confidence men and pick
pockets composing the Ohio peninten-
tiary baseball team today played an
amateur team at the local American as
sociation ball park. 1t was said to be
the rst time that a convict team,
unguarded, has been permitted to play
outside of prison walls. Proceeds of
the game will go to charity.
The prison band, composed of thirty
convicts. accompanied the team to the
park and before the game and between
innings entertained the crowd with
lively airs. The sporting editor of the
Ohio penitentiaTy News. which is pub
lisned by convicts within the prison,
represented his paper, which will carry
a full account of each play.
Several prison officials attended the
game, but none of them were armed, all
of the convicts being on their honor not
to attempt to escape.

CT. NORTHERN TIE-UP

Yesterday afternoon Agent Bolton
at the Ct. Northern depot received a
message from the head offices of the
company in St. Paul which indicated
that the Jim Hill system of railroads
Is taking what necessary steps it can
to be in a condition of preparedness
against a general tie-up of traffic if
the strike that threatens to become
effective all over the United States
on Monday of next week is not avert
ed by the railroads and their employees
coming to an agreement. The order
which the CT. Northern has issued to
its agents authorizes them to refuse
shipments of live stock and perishable
freight of all kinds after Saturday of
this week, September End. Grain
shippers have been urged by the
company to get all of the 1916 crcp
possible in transit not later than that
date and freight shipments from the
east are being fastened west with the
least possible delay. The railroads
give it out that they cannot see how,
at the stage of affairs now, a strike
can be headed-off, but appear to be
confident the men will be back to
work inside of ten days. There is
yet hope held out that a change for
the better in the situation will take
place in the two davs that remain of
the week which is left before the
strike is to go into effect at seven
o'clock a. m. on Labor Day, Monday,
September LIST. If the great national
disaster is averted it can be credited
up to President Wilson. if there is
a strike, the blame is that of the
railroads. The people know this in
spite of the attempted misrepresenta-
ton of the situation of affairs by the
management of the railroads.

Such Letters as This Are Coming Daily
to White House.
July 20. 1916.
My Dear Mr.. President:
1t is not necessary that | should
bother you with a communication, and
it does not need a reply. l am not
seeking political favors OF preferment,
but desire to say for your information
that some Progressives absolutely re-
fuse to have their acts guided or con
trolled.
l am a native of Illinois. | estab-
lished the A. NJ. Webster company of
Peoria, ILL.,. and it is now owned and
controlled by my son, who is engaged
in handling farm properties. For
twenty-five years 1 have advocated just
such a rural credit bill as you have
signed. 1 nm highly pleased and not
only pleased with this act, but many
more acts since you have been our
president.
l vas born in a Republican home
and rocked in a Republican cradle. l
did not vote for you; but, being dis
gusted with many Republican rulers
of our state and nation. l Joined the
Progressive party and still hold to Pro-
gressive principles. Owing to the fact,
however, that the men who stood 10y
ally by Theodore Roosevelt and the
Progressive party We're finally dumped
into the scrap basket and as we have
since been grossly insulted by having
Progressive leaders tell us that we
must go back to the G.. O. Z. in order
to save the nation from Democratic
misru,e ana disaster, I balk.
Mr.. President, your administration
has satisfied nc. l could give innu-
merable reasons why this is so, but to
the point | have appointed myself
as a committee Of one to vote for you
and the Democratic ticket in Novem-
Der and do what little l can toward
bringing Democratic success.
May God bless you in your every ef-
fort and guide your every act. Yours
sincerely, A. NJ. WEBSTER.

WILSON A PROGRESSIVE
BEFORE PARTY WAS BORN

Eighteen months before the
birth Of the Progressive party
Woodrow Wilson, then governor
Of New Jersey, gave this defni-
ton Of a progressive and so
classified himself In an address
before tho Kansas Society Of
New York Jan. 20, 1911:
"By radical understand
n who goes too far; by
conservative ono who does
not 60 far enough; by 'reao-
tionary' one who won't 90
at all. suppose | must be
progressive, which take to
be one who insists on rec.
oenizine new facts, adjust
ing policies to facts and cir.
curnstanees as they arise"
Under Democratic influences
during the six year period since
standpatism was overthrown in
the house Of representatives, In
1910. 90 per cent of the program
of reform advocated by the Pro.
gressive party has been enacted
into law. Invisible government"
which is now making desperate
efforts to come back" has been
driven from power under Presi-
dent Wilson's administration and
will have no place in Washing
ton SO long as he Is in the White
House.

MEXICO is COMING BACK.
Saved From Conquest, Il Is Working
Out Its Own Destiny.

Out Its Own Destiny.
Encouraging news continues to come
from Mexico, and the TRADES of Presi-
dent Wilson's critics grow tanner all
the while. Mexico has seen much mis-
fortune, has borne many trials, has ex-
p%arienced many tragedies, but there is
a buoyancy to the present situation
that gives cheer to friends Of that long
suffering republic.
Americans coming from that country
bring optimistic assurances. They de-
clare that there is much better gov
ernment there than for many years,
that Carranza money is increasing in
value. that business is picking up and
that law is being respected.
The New York Evening Sun, a Re
publican newspaper, which usually crit
icises everything President Wilson
does, is compelled to recognize the
facts telegraphed from San Antonio,
Tex, by William G. Shepherd, war
correspondent of the United Press, who
Of conditions both in Europe and Mex
leo. Mr.. Shepherd, back from a long
service abroad, was sent recently to
the Mexican border. After a careful
survey he reported conclusions which
the Sun displays under the head
ing: Mexico Coming Back-Business
Grows Brisk-Confidence In Carranza
Increases, and Things Look Up" In
part Mr.. Shepherd says:
Mexico is coming back. It's not
a dead rubber nation. It's got a
bounce in it.
A summary Of the news from the
heart Of Mexico gathered in the
last three weeks along the border
from Americans incoming from
Mexico shows beyond doubt that
conditions are improving, conf
dence in Carranza is growing, the
situation is gaining buoyancy, Car
rama money is gaining in value,
and business is picking up.

and the cooks looked after the tents
and provisions while the hunters on
tn cir ponies made ready to kill the
buffalo. They were camped on a hill
and the leaders of the party divided,
going to either side. 1t took several
hours for the heard to go by. Mrs.
Cavalier, a bride, and a ST. Paul girl
also a bride, Mrs. James McFetridge,
who was coming to Pembina to live,
were driving themselves in a buggy.
The outfit, a horse and buggy was
then the only n in the state and
cost $1,000; the horse, 800 and the
buggy $500. 1--WE girls she said,
''got into the rig and went to see
them kill and prepare the meat for
dinner. When we got there they al
ready had killed one, had the hide off
and the entrails out on the ground
and the meat, or choicest parts of it,
cut off for cooking. One of the In.
dian guides with the killing party
cut a piece off, a part that was some
times called the bib, because of its
folds. He rinsed it in the fresh blood
from the animal. scraped it off with
his knife and ate it raw with apparent
great relish. Needless to say we did
not eat any dinner that day." We
talked with her then about the old
log postotfice where in the years ago
We used to get il mail, sometimes
from her hands. She recounted the
following event which she remember
ed we'll. Back in 1879 the author
tiles in Texas heard of a robber who
had been out here in Dakota evading
the penalty of their law and they sent
a detective to get him. The detec-
tive on reaching Pembina told Mr..
Cavalier the circumstances and right
there in the ~postoffice while he was
waiting for his mail the outlaw en-
tered. He was recognized by the
detective who pulled his gun and de.
manded he give himself up. The rob-
Der threw up his hands and while do.
ing so slipped a revolver from his
breast pocket. The detective fired
and then stepped through the hall to
an opposite door to see what had hap
pened. The robber was still standing,
alive although he had been shot, with
the revolver in his hand, which he
fired, instantly killing the detective
who in falling struck Mrs. CAVALIERS
feet. In a few seconds both lay dead
together. When the excitement be-
gan, Mr., Cavalier, who was not we'll
and was lying on a couch in the sit
ting room, came rushing into the post
office, thinking it was a row among
some drunken half breeds. Before
he could say a word the robber fell
dead at his feet 1t was q narrow es.
cape for Mrs. Cavalier, as her daugh-
ter, who saw the tragedy occur, told
US that both bullets went very close
to her, one not a foot away going
through the window. The other went
through the body of the man it kill
ed, then through a book case in front
of which he was standing and later
was found to be embedded in the door.

The Democrat is too overcrowded
this week to dish up any editorial
dope political or otherwise, but
the appearance of the state, legisla-
tive, and county ticket of the party
t%op-o-column on this page may be
taken by the reader as a gentle re-
.Yninder that the fall election of 1916
~ but little more than two months
distant and as soon as the threshing
and worry about the crop has blown
over a little, the campaign will be
on with all of its accompanying
rounding up of the voters by the fes.
tive candidate for office. The festiv-
lties of the campaign-if that's the
right word for twill this year be
something with a little more pep
20 it than has been the rule in the
past, as at least one of the political
parties, and perhaps both, are likely
10 find a hard nut to crack in regards
as 20 what attitude the farmer vote
may take in state and legislative mat
Gers, and perhaps to some extent in
respect TO the county ticket. This
being a presidential yea there will
oe something doing in politics right
along for the next few weeks and to
she readers OF the Democrat we would
say that they may look for as much
about the progress Of the campaign
iii these columns as may be found in
any Of the Cavalier county papers.

TRIER FARMERS TO BUY SHEEP

quite q number OF farmers in the
Immediate vicinity Of Gallo, Munich,
Clyde and Sarles have become inter.
ested in stocking up with a few sheer
Ibis fall. 1t is understood J.. W.
daw, one Of the county agents OF the
better farming association, will in a
snort time snip in three or four ear
loads Of Montana sheep, which will
form the neucles Of herds with a
.1umber Of farmers who intend to
@aake g start at sheep raising at
points along the Munich and Sarles
branch this year. At Gallo enough
Farmers have become interested to
ensure a shipment of a carload. At
Munich and Clyde the indications are
that two more cars can be disposed of
and it is quite likely that Sarles will
be another locality to take up this
step toward diversified farming. The
plan is to have no one farmer make
any big investment of capital. Prob
ably not more than five or ten head
for q start.off will mean much for
development along this line.
