CHANGE OF NAME
Action Taken by the Episcopal
Convention Last Week.
CLERGY About Evenly Divided, Lay Delegates
Six to One Against Change, Matter
Indefinitely Postponed.

One of the leading members of The
Episcopal Convention, in session at
Greensboro last week, speaking of the
debate and action on the proposed change
of the name of the Protestant Episcopal
church said:
Your correspondent does not clearly
express the action of the Episcopal Con
vention at Greensboro in regard to the
change OF name.
"A committee of the General Convention
asked the question whether the convention
desires a change "at this time" One
desires a change "at this time" or not
Mr.. London's motion that an answer be
returned that a change is not now desired
and a vote was taken by orders" j. e.,
the clergy voting singuIation and the laity
by parishes. The return was, clergy Is to
Is against, and the parishes 10 to 2 in IA
vor of the motion.
at therefore appeared that the clergy
was about equally divided and the laity
over six to one against the change at
present.
There were resolutions offered by Hon.
J. S. Henderson and Rev. A. B. Hunter,
which expressed the desire to have a
change at a future time, but acquiescing
in not pressing action now. Rev DR.. w.
H. Meade offered a resolution like that
of Mr.. London, with some conciiatory
expressions. Neither of these three was
voted on. Rev. l. Murdoch then offered
motion that. inasmuch as the vote al,
ready taken probably expressed the mind
of the convention, the whole matter be
indefinitely postponed. This passed by q
large majority"

ing in a wreck near NorIina.
This took place at four O'Clock Sunday
morning and Mr.. Ennis was brought To
the city Sunday afternoon. He was suf-
fering terribly from the scalding he had
received.
The freight train, of which he was on
gineer, was coming south and it ran into
a gravel train. 1t is understood that this
was caused by the failure of the gravel
train to move off quickly after the flag
man had been blown in.
The signal came from the gravel train
engine for the fiagman to leave the track
and catch his train. He came ahead but
in the meantime the freight with Tom
Enniss on the engine came flying around
curve.
1t was too late to stop and the fireman
jumped. The engine of the freight
smashed into the rear of the gravel train
splintering the caboose, but the engine
kept the track.
Engineer Ennis was jammed in the
wreckage of the engine and it was some
time before he could be found and gotten
out. The scalding steam was pouring over
him, about has face and his body and the
agony was intense.
Finally he was rescued and was cared
for at Norlina. His relatives here were
telegraphed 20 and ms wife and sister
went to Norlina to join him. He was
brought to the city Sunday afternoon and
taken to his home on North Salisbury
street.
