Convention Notes and 1901 Southern Baptist gathering in Asheville
The Southern Baptist Convention in Asheville drew more delegates and visitors than prior meetings. Official counts show 1,003 delegates and at least 1,000 women from the Woman’s Auxiliary. Ticket records noted 4,000 processed by the validating agent, with another 1,000 attendees not requiring approval. Conservative estimates place total delegates and visitors around 3,000 and denominational boards report stronger annual progress since May 1901, with education endowments rising dramatically. Separately, Gov. Cantor’s report details a night-time incident in an adjacent county involving a negro gunman, a burned house, and multiple fatalities among whites and negros, with troops deployed to restore order.
