so interesting, so uplifting. He

organization of the Baptist State 
Convention here three later, 
Greenville, he said, was I lien the 
most accessible paint between 
and Elizabeth City, hence 
this was selected for the 
meeting of those interested in

rests the church.

WASHINGTON LETTER. 
Our 
C, Mar. 31.1906. 
Washington fog and dust still 
involve the rate bill. The meas- 
has reached the point where 
the whole question is involved in 
th right of judicial review and 
in this provision if any where will 
be concealed joker that is to 
make the measure acceptable to 
the railroads. For the benefit 
of the uninitiated, it may lie said 
the now is for an 
agreement to an amended bill 
that will provide for a more or 
loss broad court review. The 
object of the friends of the 
measure will be to frame this 
review provision s- that i will 
not interfere with the obvious 
lent of the law and make the 
delays, possible under the bill 
more than offset any benefits 
that the measure might confer. 
Naval officers as a whole are 
pleased over the sanction of the 
Naval appropriation bill by the 
committee, not only because it 
gives a little short, of 
for the execution of the 
plans that the department 
has on hand but because it also 
provides for at least one battle- 
ship that will rival the English 
in size and effect- 
There is a provision in 
the bill for one battleship of not 
over that will be all 
that the Navy department 
could desire. 
While the work of defensive 
naval construction is going on, 
there is appropriation made also 
for a new dry dock that will 
equal the Dewey in size and will 
be retained in American waters. 
The prop headquarters of 
this dock will be Solomon's Is- 
land in the Chesapeake, but 
though-this spot affords unusual 
facilities in the way of deep water 
and a good channel, the dock, 
once it is be avail- 
able for use anywhere on the At- 
coast where there is water 
deed enough to submerge it and 
whore the exigencies of the 
call for its presence. 
It is estimated that an agree- 
on the statehood bill is in 
sight. This is more or less 
cheering news, not that it makes 
any vital difference whether or 
not the territories that have been 
waiting years fur admittance to 
the Union are admitted just at 
this time or not, that agree- 
foreshadowed has the show 
of reason and decency about it

There is do grander work than

false order of things end. Let

be treated as others, equal as to

To do this you have got to be 
more careful who represents you 
in the Senate branch of your 
Legislature. One term to 
vice in the House has taught rue 
that there is not any use of send- 
men representing the man- 
the agricultural and 
commercial interests to frame 
good laws, to be killed in the 
Senate by lawyers nominated

may be increased, we must 
see that some one else

railroad attorneys or that class

fee of this kind should be called

WHAT TAXATION BE. 
The Richmond Times-Dispatch 
given the definition of the duty of 
the State in its exercise of the power 
to the State undertakes 
to assess against citizens 
and compel them to pay the sum so 
then becomes the bounden 
duty of the State to employ every 
means at hand to make the assess- 
fair and equitable, so that the 
burden of tax shall fall 
each and every citizen according to 
his ability In pay. Our protest is 
against l. taxation and unjust 
taxation in all its forms; against any 
system which discriminates against 
some and in favor of others The 
system should be so as lo
