DR.. EASTON WINS
DECIDED VICTORY
Supporters 0utnumber the
Opponents Two 10 One.
VOTE OF CONFIDENCE GIVEN
Dissenting Elders Called Upon to Re
sign Official Positions in Eastern
Presbyterian Church.

fractional differences in the Eastern
Presbyterian Church reached a culmina-
ton last night when the friends of the
venerable pastor won decisive victory
over those members Of the congregat ton
who at a former meeting had called for
his resignation.
Not only did DR.. Easton's friends elect
u board Of elders favors BILE TO his reten-
ton in office, but they carried the fight
sun further and one of the Easton fac
ton. A. O. BOStrOm. offered q resolution
in which he called on ali the elders who
have publicly expressed their opposition
to the pastor and thereby become mac
CeptabIe to the congregation, to resign.
This resolution was carried after much
lively discussion by a vote Of % 70 IS.
The members Of the board Of elders
to whom the request for resignation
applies are 3. T. WEIGH. Robert Tim
norman, DR.. GatChei, ana Dr. Sadler.
1t was said today by these elders that
they did not regard the action Of the
meeting last night as official anc for
this reason II is said that the fight VIII
be taken before the local pTesDytery,
which viii make q ruling on the qUes-
lions at issue. The point mas been
made against DR.. Easton by those
who oppose him that he IS too old both
to deliver sermons and TO go about
the parish.
The aged minister's supporters, who
apparently have q majority Of two to
one IN the congregation. say that he
is active enough and that the church
would suffer greatly by his resignation.
The meeting last night was presided
over by the Rev. J. L. Bittinger. The
new elders elected were David II.
Afloon. JOHN Duncan, and i. H. Fart
ley. In addition to the elders, the fol-
lowing officers. friends OF nr. EastOn,
" ere also elected: Deacons, a. Z. Cole
ard DR.. Thomas Calver; trustees. a

WILT DAMAGING SEA
ISLANDS IN GEORGIA.

valdosta, Ca. June 2s.-Reports
have reached here from all of the
counties around of a disease which is
doing much damage to sea island cot,
ton. 1t is what is known as the wilt,
or black root, causing the stalks to
wither and the bolls to shrivel and die.
1t is the same disease which made
its appearance here several years ago
and on account of which the govern
ment has esta blished an experiment
station at Backshear.
Farmers from adjoining counties say
the disease is more widespread than
ever though in other respects the cot
ton crop looks unusually well. The
acreage of sea island cotton is much
shorter than last year, due to the fact
that the wilt did so much damage
last year that many farmers turned
their attention to short cotton, which
is immune to wilt and brought such
high prices during the past season.
The sea island acreage is 30 or 40 per
cent. less than last year, and the
shortage is even more than that in the
counties above here.

SYRACUSE'S SONS
ROWED TO VICTORY
SUPREMACY OF CORNELL
WAS BROKEN BY THE SPEED OF
THE SYRACUSANS.

Crews Were Entered Were Won
by the University-This Was
Great surprise-Odds of IL to L
Against Syracuse-Time in the
Races Was POOr-HOw the Col
Ieges Finished.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 2S.-Cor-
Syracuse men in town tonight are in
a state of hilarious delight, for in two
out of the three races on the Pough-
keepsie course to-day, the only races
in which she was entered, the crews
of Syracuse University won victory
from the sons of Cornell.
In the four-mile, eight-car Varsity
race and in the freshman two-mile,
eight-car race the Syracuse oarsmen
won by handsome margins, coming
out of obscurity so marked that last
night the friends of Syracuse could
not find takers for bets at l to IL.
Cornell won the four-oar Varsity
with ease.
Wisconsin, which was thought to
threaten all competitors in the four
oar and Varsity races, was never a
factor, coming in next to last in the
four-oar race, and last in the Var
sity.
Columbia, the dark horse" whose
mysterious doings upstream have led
to a good deal of solicitude on the part
of all of her competitors, did we'll in
the four-oar race in which she came in
second, though she made but a feeble
showing in the others, coming in last
in the Freshman race and fourth in
the Varsity.
No records were broken. Indeed, the
time was slower than for years in two
of the races, and more than minute
and a half slower than last years
Varsity race.
In the Varsity eight, Cornell led off
at the pistol shot in characteristic
style, but lost her lead almost imme-
diately to Syracuse, who, with "a quick
stroke, pulled out ahead with a lea
which they never lost during the race
and which was increased to five
lengths at the finish. Near the two
mile mark, Cornell in a great burst
of speed, did press her sturdy rival on
almost even terms.
The real race was between the four
other crews. Wisconsin for a time
fought hard for third place, but after
the second mile she fell steadily out
and finished rather badly at the tail
of the procession.
Georgetown made a fine struggle also
for third place, but could not main
tain the tremendous pace and finally
had to give way to both Pennsylvania
and Columbia.
