One of Greensboro's Host Popular Pastors
Gives Up His Work Here.
Irrespective of denominational lines,
there will be wide spread interest and
regret at the announcement that the
Rev. Dr. H. W. Battle, pastor of the
First Baptist church, has resigned bis
pastorate. He is one of the leaders
among the preachers of the city, active
in all public spirited movemeuts as
well as those pertaining particularly to
church and denominational life. For
this reason, bis resignation and biB
plans for the future are of course mat-ters
of interest to a very large number
of people.
Dr. Battle was on the point of ten-ing
his resignation come weeks ago. A
meeting of the male members of the
church was called and voted to ask
him to refrain from doing no. This was
followed by a meeting of the church
which took similar action.
Sunday moruing last Dr. Battle
preached for only about ten minutes.
The ordiuance of communion was then
observed. At a meeting of the church
which followed, Capt. F. P. Hobgood,
Jr., bein? the moderator, the resigua-ii'in
was read, Dr. Battle giving the
reasons which led bim to take the step.
A motion was then made that the
church decline to accept the resigna-tion,
and the question was on the point
of being put to a vote when Dr. Battle
arose and In a tender yet firm niaimy
put forth a strong appeal to each and
every member to defeat the motion,
| and that he be given the desired oppor-tunity
of laying down his work as their
pastor. Before the motion was put to
a vote, however, an umendmeut to the
original iuotfin was accepted, provid-ing
that the resignation not go into
•fleet before October, 10U7. Only under
these conditions were the people at all
willing to vote the release of Dr. Battle,
and even then when the vote was
takeu well nigh unto half of the con-
HIGH POINT MAR'S SKTJLL CRUSHED.
Falls or Jumps From a Train Here and
Bled wimin Half an Hour—Identity
Not Established for Several Hours.
Sam Smith, a young white man of
High Point, fell or jumped from one of
the northbound t aseenger trains near
the coal chute here last Thursday night
and received injuries which resulted in
his death a half hour later. Smith
with several companions had spent the
day in Salisbury and be failed to get
ofl the train with the others at his
home town. Nothing more was known
of bim until he was found unconscious
in the railroad yards here, and the
manner of his death is really one of
conjecture- When found be had noth-ing
on his pel890 which would lead to
bis identity, and it was not until the
next morning, when some of bis com-panions
of the previous day came to
the city at the request of the railroad
authorities, that he was ideutifUd.
The remains were prepared for burial
by Uud<rtaker Poole and later in the
week «ne sent to High Poiut for in-terment.
The deceased was a sou of
Bit. George Smith, of High Poiut, who
moved there from Davie county a few-years
ago. He was about l:i years old
and unmarried.

Not all of the returns have been made
for the county, tbe work being too
great to complete in the time interven-ing
since the tax listing month euded,
but it is estimated that there will be
an increase of about two millions in
the taxable properly of the county,
so that tbe report of their religious
activity bus spread to tbe four corners
of the state.
Just what are Dr. Puttie's plaus for
the near future are not definitely
known, even to himself, although he
has under consideration several very
flattering calls, not that they offer so
great a remuneration, but Mattering in
tbat they allord bim such excellent op-portunities
for accomplishing great
good among the people of his particu-lar
denomination. One call invites his
services to a large field in eastern North
Carolina, while another would have
bim spend bis days of usefulness in
tbe distaut state of Texas. He was
chosen at tbe last session of tbe South-ern
Baptist Convention to preach the
introductory sermon at tbe next regu-lar
session.
Dr. Battle during his stay iu Greeus-boro
has won tbe admiration and
hearts, not only of the people of his
particglar charge, to wbi m be has been
so tenderly devoted, but multitudes of
friends from nil other denominations
will heave a sifih of rewret when the
unwelcome news of his resignation
falls upon their ears. It will not only
be difficult, but practically impossible,
to find one who can fill the responsible
charge made vacant by his resigna-tion.
Wherever Dr. Battle's duties
may call him in the unknown futnre,
he may go about them with tbe assur-ance
that here in Greensboro there are
hundreds who feel a deep interest in
his each and every undertaking, and
who sincerely trust that hpt efforts may
be attended with that sams brilliant
success that characterized them while
in Greensboro.
