institution. of. the church in North
Carolina. n-Early in the . day delegates
began to arrive and; in spite; of the
threatening clouds and a steady down
pour of rain in the afternoon, by last
night more actual registrations had
been posted ,thi any of the previous
years, nearly I;ifty per cent of which
are young people, , "' " " .
. It sent a thrill of Jaj.7 as well as a
sense of devotion through the -entire
assembly to hear again the old famil
ial conference , songs . resounding
through the college chapel, led by Rev.
H. A. Welker of Salisbury, who has
faithfully performed that; duty each
year as only a man of his musical
ability is able to do. What could have
been more appropriate than a terse
statement by Rev. L. A. Peeler, of
Kannapolis, chairman of the confer
ence committee, in the opening devo
tional meeting, recasting the world's
need, its challenge, a vision of God
and of man himself? Wjth these
thoughts in mind the conference went
immediately into business, assigning i
the various topics to be discussed and
arranging discussion groups. Among
the subjects to be discussed during
the week are: "Modern Sunday School
work, led bv Mr. D; W- Sims, state
secretary of Sunday school work, Ral
eigh. "Adjusting the Races, a Distinct
Emphasis Given the . Colored Problem
of America." by Dr. John Little, pres
ident .of Mission school for colored
people, of Louisville,' Ky. "Home and
Foreign Mission Preparatory to be
Taught in the Various Organizations
of the, Church," by Dr. A. V. Cassel;

Dr. Christman is president of Central

Will hold conferences for ministers and
especially for training of young lead
ership. Dr. and Mrs. W. G. Seiple, pf
Sandai, Japan, will give instruction
on Japan. Dr. Seiple to the adult age
and Mrs. Seiple to the chilSren in story
form.
Last night the service was given
over to Dr. Little, when he gave his
story of the needs of; the colored peo
ple in America by means of illustrated
slides, revealing a series of startling
facts relative to! that problem and il
lustrating, in part, how it is possible
to eradicate a great part of the wret
ched conditions through sympathy and
education,. The day fittingly came to a
close with a social hour when leaders,
guests and delegates tipped in for the
spirit, of laughter .and nonsensical
amusement. It proved to be rich in its
results for ere long everybody had ce
mented themselves together in a cor
dial fellowship which sent each dele
gate, . tired but ; joyful to rest for the
night. -V . '--V7 ;'

order General Metts to put sufficient
military officers in the town of Rocky
Mount to uphold the law and restore

this, afjternoon. s
The governor said he -would order
the troops out now but for the fact
that Judge Connor had issued an in
junction restraining strikers from in
terfering kith the operation of the
trains on the tlantic Coast Line and'
he believed United States marshals

sons set forth in a written . paper to
send troops to Rocky Mount to up
hold the law. These officers state that
the county and city authorities are
unable to do this.
"I am satisfied as the situation now
stands that disorder and threats of
violence of such character as the effi
cers state exists, and I would order
troops .immediately except for the
fact that his honor, H. G. Connor of
the . United States district court has
issued an injunction restraining the
parties mentioned from interfering in
any way with the operation of the

able with his forces to restore order
and peace.
"I am of the opinion that jhaying
assumed jurisdiction over the situa
tion as i he has, order can be restored
there through the police officers of
his court and by his orders better than
by state troops, but if order is not
restored, .there ; within a very shorty

ber of -troops to restore order, uphold
the law and protect life and property.
"There are disorders elsewhere in
this state incident to this strike. They
must cease, regardless of the reasons
offered for such lawless conditions. I
shall use every power the state pos
sesses to restore order and to keep the
peace in this state. ,
"I warn those who are engaged in
this lawlessness and threats of law
lessness that they cannot prevail
against organized authority and that
