The Finance Committee Refuse 10
Determine Discount for Corpora
tiOn Checks.
The bill passed by the City Council to
pay certain officers and employees of the
corporation their full salaries by making
good to them the discount on checks paid
hem, yesterday reached its complete SUI
blimity as a fzzle. There was a question
az to what rate of discount should be es~
tablished, and the bill provided that this
rate should be determined by the Finance
CoRmittee, and that the Recorder should
be governed thereby in the payment ofsal+
aries. At the present rate Of discount, an of
ficer drawing salary of one hundred dol
lars per month would receive two hundred
and fifty dollars in checks.
The Finance Committee held a meeting
Yesterday to consider this immense financial
scheme, and after looking at the matter
from all points, sagely determined not to
take upon itself the responsibility of fixing
any rate Of discount whatever; so that the
law is now practically dead, sharing the
fate Of too many other fruitless measures
for making municipal shinplasters answer
the purpose OF national currency in the
payment of corporation debts.
The city AUDITOR on being presented with
a number Of pay-rolls, subsequent to the de-
termination Of the committee, refused to
audit them, as the committee had not full
filled the duty prescribed to it and fixed a
basis for their payment. -
The upshot of the whole matter is, that
Recorder Mills will travel the old road and
issue checks whenever they are likely to
be accepted by parties having claims against
the city.

Fffty-eighth Anniversary of the Cum
berIand Presbyterian Church.

OCAAAAa ACoDE AoAAt-AA NAAeANhs
The 4th day of February is the anniver-
sary of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church
in America. By request of the General As
serably, the ministers throughout the
church will celebrate the first Sabbath in
February as the anniversary day, with
services appropriate to the occasion.
1t may not be inappropriate on this Sab
bath morning to give brief history of the
origin and progress of this church. 1t was
the 0utgrowth of the great revival of 1900,
which was to this western country what the
reformation of the 10th century was 10
Germany. During this revival there was
Q great necessity for more ministerial la
borers in the field, aud accordingly Alex-
exsnder Anderson, Finis Ewing and Samuel
King, all Of whom were remarkable for
their zeal and power in explaining the
scriptures, were presented to the Presby-
terry for license TO preach. On account of
the irregulsrity of their education they
we're not received Immediately, but were
given tillthe meeting of the next Presby-
terry TO prepare diseourses to be read before
the PEesbytery. President Anderson, in
his life of the Rev. George Donnell, says:
These ministers were ordained with the
fall knowledge that not one Of them had
acquired all the literary qualifications re-
CURED by the discipline of the Presbyterian
Church. And in adopting the Westminster
Confession of Faith, they were all permit
ted to except the idea of fatality as Taught
under the doctrines of election and repro
baton. And having publicly and solemn
ly rejected the doctrine Of a limited atoue@
ment, they were careful in their preaching
to dwell upon the fullness of the atonemenf,
and thence infer mans free agency and
consequent accountability, and upon this
basis they urged upon all the offer Of free
salvation.
After their ordination, the Reverends
Messers. McGready, Hodge, MCGEE, Nc
Adoo and Rankin were prosecuted before
the Kentucky Synod for irregulArity in
ordaining Anderson, Ewing aud King with
ont requiring all the literary qualifications
prescribed in the discipline, and allowing
them, in adopting the Confession Of Faith,
10 except so much "a seemed to teach the
doctrine Of eternal election and reproba-
tion."
These men then withdrew from the
Presbyterian Church, and on the 4th day
of February, 1910, organized themselves
into a Presbytery, and assumed the name
Of Cumberland PresbyteriAns. This church
Nashville union and dispatch. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1866-1868, 1868-02-02

was organized in Dickson county in this
State, on that day, with three ministers
and few members. Under the blessings
of God they have spread over the whole
Southwest, and planted colleges and
churches on the slopes of the Pacific. To-
day they number some 400 ministers and
from 100000 to 100000 communicates.
The first camp meeting ever held in
Chrlstendom was under the auspices of the
Cumberland Presbytery, at Jasper, in Lo-
gan county, Kentucky, in July, 1900. /

BUCKINS THE TIGER.
A Faro Bank BIed 90 the Tune of
$4,000.

1 -----1-- ---~N-
Very late Friday night, stupid looking
and extremely seedy individual, who APP
peared to have lost his way in the dim un-
certain light of corporation gas, the fiiful
blinking of which seemed rather to have
served as blind than guide, stumbled
into saloon to inquire his way. He
wanted to go to tavern, he said, and had
money enough to pay all bills, displaying
ten-dollar greenback as voucher.
A hummer for one Of the faro banks soon
got his eye on the apparent man-frcm>the>
country, and the two became remarkably
friendly, finally going offtogether in search
OF the tavern" The eountryman, on en~
tering the faro bank to which his chapercne
as matter Of course led him, seemed quite
taken with the novelty Of the affair, and at
once entered zealously into the game, bet
ting extravagantly on the strength of his
ten dollars, all he had, but which was cup
posed by his new-found friends to be only
one of fabulous number of which he had
boosted. In few minutes the fellow had
swept off $4,000 Of the banks capital, and
just about the time fortune might have
been expected to turn in favor of the bank,
the seedy countrymAn discovered that bed
time had arrived, refused to remain up any
longer, and, to the dismay of the ontwitted
sharpers, quietly made his way out of the
den and into the street, from whence he
soon reached the "tavern" for which he had
been so diligently inquiring earlier in the
night. 81

REDUCTION IN FREIGHTs.-No city has
suffered more from exorbitant freights than
Nashville. The freights TO and from all
the great commercial centres have been so
much against Nashville that heretofore we
have not been able 10 compete with Louis
vile in the grocery trade. But different
state of things now exists. By arrange
ments which went into effect yesterday,
the following schedule for freights was
adopted MA the Virginia and Tennessee air
line:
From Richmond, Va, to Nashville
first class, 81 81 second class, 81 go !;
third class, 81 06; fourth class, Zoe.
From Lynchburg TO Nashyille-frst
class, 81 So; second class, 81 10; third
class, 89c; fourth class, 69c.
These reductions are 33s' per cent. off of
the rates heretofore charged. Sugars can
now be brought from the refinery at Rich
mond as cheap as they can be laid down in
Louisville from the Eastern market, and
hence we will be able to sell as cheap al
the Louisville merchants can. Shipments
from Richmond have been heretofore going
gia Baltimore and Louisville, now they
will come straight through, and at greatly
reduced price. This reduction has been
accomplished through the energy of Col.
MeIver and Mr.. Geo. F. Akers OF the
house of Akers & Herriek, commission
merchants, corner of Church and College
streets.

A Man I'm a Well Finds Himself I'm a
Bed of Copper.
News reached this city yesterday of the
discovery of a large bed of copper on a
farm in the northern part of Jackson
county, near the Macon county line. Mr..
James Clark, while engaged in digging a
we'll, few days since, at the depth of
thirty feet suddenly struck upon bed of
copper, which now promises to yield him
a rich return. On striking it, he was not
aware of what it was, and had very little
idea of its value until a gentleman who
was passing asked him il he was mining,
and told him he had found something that
would be of more use to him than the
water he was seeking.
Mr.. Clark arrived here yesterday with
specimens of the ore, and found it to be
not only genuine, but of superior quality.
He will at once organize a party of men
and proceed to mining upon his farm.
There are also indications there of silver
and iron, but these minerals probably do
not'exist in any great quantities,
