I By Associated Press.
Jacksonville Fla. May 15. Greater
In number than the British parliament
or the congress of the United States
the Southern Baptist Convention will
meet here on May 17 with delegates
present from every state in the South.
The convention is made up of mes-
sengers or delegates from churches
associations state conventions mis-
sionary societies and Sunday schools.
All Baptist churches are independent.
Therefore the convention has no au-
thority to bind the churches in its territory-
Its action is advisory not com-
pulsory. Ministers and laymen are ad-
mitted into the covnention on the same
basis without any official distinction
between the clergy and laity.
According to the best available fig-
ures there are about (5280649 Bap-
tists. Of this number 4110873 are in
the South; 2.218911 of the Southern
Baptists are white 1891902 colored.
In the Northern states there are 1-
19(1.29:1 Rantists. There are 22438'

MOTHERS Dftf IT UNION HILL
Perhaps the largest crowd ever seen
at Union Hill assembled Sunday even-
ing to celebrate Mothers' Day. In ad-
dition to almost the entire population
of the neighborhood old and young
there were large delegations trom
Bryan and College and a sprinkling
from other communities. The women
and children and a few men rilled the
house while the most of the men and
boys stood outside at the windows and
doors wherever they could see or
hear. Notwithstanding these unfavor-
able conditions aggravated by the
sultry weather good order prevailed
throughout the entire two hours oc-
cupied by the program.
The usual weekly program of the
Union Hill league formed the basis
of the exercises which consisted
chiefly of recitations by the little tots
and readings and esasys by the adult
members interspersed with music;
the selections and original contribu-
tions having a bearing on the central
idea of the occasion mother love.
The special features were addresess
by Mr. F. D. Steger general secretary
of the college Young Men's Christian
Association and County Attorney La-
mar Bethea of Bryan. The presiding

of the most important questions which
have ever demanded its attention the
fifty-first General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church in the. United
States (Southern) will convene here
next Thursday. Delegates both lay
and ministerial from every section of
the South will be present.
The assembly will be oiened at 11
o'clock a. m. in the Second Presbyte-
Mr. R. R. Royal through whose ef-
forts chiefly that unique religio-social
organization was founded and by
whose untiring energy and persever-
ance the enthusiasm Is maintained and
its influence for good is widened and
deeiened from year to year.
Mr. Steger took a comprehensive
view of mother love including the ani-
mal instinct citing the quail the bear
and other birds and beasts as exam
pies. He then briefly reviewed the in
fluenee of mother love in forming the
rian church with a sermon by the re- j characters of the great men of history

MAY BUILD MACADAM ROAD.
Robertson County to Supply Link in
Trans-State Highway.
Franklin Texas May 15.--Tho com-
niislsoners' court has before it a prop-
osition to build a macadam road from
north to south through Robertson
county in line from Marlln to Bryan.
This is to be a link In the great trans-
state macadam thoroughfare now be-
ing built in links from the Red river
to the gulf. All of the counties except
Robertson Brazos and Grimes have
Indicated their willingness to bulll
their respective portions of the roa
It will necessitate a heavy bond M
sue to build the road but since it wi
become a link In a great trans-statl
macadam thoroughfare connectinl
some of the largest cities In Texnl
It is thought there will be little ol
position to the movement. In fact
can be said that so far as Roberts
county U concerned its part of til
road Is practically assured.
