Primitive Baptists in North Carolina and local crimes
A long column discusses Primitive Baptist beliefs in Edgecombe and surrounding counties, detailing predestination, immersion, lack of Sunday schools, and challenges within their church. It notes ministers’ voluntary support, education levels, and tension with other denominations. The piece also reports Lilian M. Gould being declared insane after killing her husband, and a Durham county inquiry into inmate immorality leading to dismissals.
