CUMBERLANDS STAND
FOR UNION OF CHURCHES
Indications Are That Majority Favor
This Step.

rms 6tGps
Dallas, Tex, May 1s.-Little more
than the preliminary to it's regular
business was accomplished at the first
session here of the seventy-fifth annual
general assembly of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church.
During the morning a praise service
and the delivery of the annual sermon
by Rev. r. M. Tinnorn, D. D., Denver.
Col, consumed the time. The sermon
| was one suggestive of and favorable TO
the proposed union of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church and the Presby-
terrain Church in the United States of
America.
DIR. Tinnon continued to preside as
moderator during most of the afternoon
meeting, the time being consumed with
the election of his successor. Judge
Warner +. Settle of Frankfort, Ky.
judge of the Court of Appeals of that
state. His opponent was Judge F. III.
Prendergast of Marshall Tex. The
contest between those two candidates
was considered distinctly one between
the elements of the church favoring
union with the Presbyterian Church in
the United States and those opposing
II, Judge Settle, the winning nominee,
being regarded as favoring the union.
He was elected by a vote OF 1853 to 76.
Many delegates to the assembly are
with the anti-union element, and are
active in their efforts to defeat the
union proposition.
The doctrine of predestination as
touched upon by the mother
church, is contrary to their
views as are also the views
upon the education of ministers OF that
organization. II is stated. especially,
that the negro question threatens to
bring strong opposition 20 the commit

Homeopathic doses of good advice
mingled with an unlimited supply OF
wit and humor, in the lecture by Rev.
Lincoln Mcconnell at Trinity Hall, last
night entertained large audience.
From the start to finish the speaker
used his we'll chosen illustrations with
a singularly happy effect.
When Mr.. Mcconnell arose to deliver
his lecture on the much advertised
theme of 'Samsons Riddle" he faced
an audience nearly every member OF
which had enjoyed the pleasure Of
hearing the speaker at the recent re-
vival services which he conducted at
Trinity Church. The introduction was
made briefly by Rev. A. M. Williams,
pastor of the church. From the time
the speaker took the platform until
he bowed to the audience in cOnclus-
ion an hour and a half later there was
not a dun moment.
The speaker prefaced his remarks by
saying so far as any 'jawbone" work
was concerned, in which art the hero
of the discourse excelled, he would use
the only article, of that variety to be
employed that evening.
"Samsons Riddle" as it was only
necessary to remind the audience, was
to answer the double proposition Of
'Out of the eater came forth meat,
and out of the strong came forth
sweetness" Yielding to the entreat-
les and finally 10 the tears of his wife,
self. A warning was here held out
to the young married men lest they
should yield too easily to the tears of
the wife. a situation with which the
older married men had learned to cope
in different way from that used by
Sampson.
story of SamsOn's Fight.
Relating the story of Samson's
fight with and victory over the lion.
from whose carcass he afterwards took
honey. the speaker made a practical
application of the incident to the al
fairs of every day life The first
point made was that a man or woman
to succeed should have ambition, an
object in life, as Sampson had that of
going to see his best girl
Life for a drifter is a succession of
eddies." said Mr.. Mcconnell. 1t is in
ambition that we differ from beasts"
AS a life without preparation was a
life without prospects those present
were urged to lay well the foundation.

ers, colored. has been sentenced to be
hanged Friday. The execution will be

lived together and had a falling out
over some trifling natter when Rodg-
ers secured a gun, and shot the old ne
gro down, and made his escape. He

the last term of the Circuit Court, and
convicted of murder in the first degree.

Farmers Institute Reaches
its ClOSe.
Prof. Hardin Speaks ON the Use
of Fertilizers. Prof b. ii.
Rawl on the Feeding IF
Live Stock.
Special to The State.


chapel this morning at 10 O'Clock
The two lecturess were Col. Nj B.
Hardin, professor of chemistry,
on Commercial Fertilizers" "
and Mr.. b. H. Rawl, assistant IN
animal husbandry, on "Feeding
Live Stock"
Col. Hardin gave especial atten
tion to the desired component
parts of fertilizers and the me-
thods of composition. He said
that chemical analysis of soils
was not satisfactory means of
determining the fertilizer that
was needed to produce a certain
crop. Frequently the most un-
productive soils gave the best
analysis, and though it was tedi
Gus process yet the best plan was
for farmer to determine for
himself by actual experiment the
fertilizer that his soil needed.
And the best way was to buy
those fertilizers which had given
satisfaction, keeping an account
of their component parts, and va
rying tho fertilizer according
to results and best judgment.
Col. Hardin said that the cot :
ton meal situation in South Caro-
lima was IN an unsatisfactory con>
dltion. Much of the'meal offered
for sale had too much hulIs in it,
which reduced the percentage of
ammonia He told of several
simple tests to determine the
quantity of hulls in the meal.
His ermarks on this subject
we're heartily endorsed by Mr. K.
l.. johnson, cotton seed meal
expert of Memphis, Tennessee.
and an old Clemson college grad
uate.
Mr.. johnson said it would be
most excellent thing if the board
of trustees would allow u com
mittee of the faculty to arrange
with the cotton oil mill men of
the S ate pro rata exchange
basis of cotton seed for cetton
seed meal and for the regulation
of the sale of cotton seed meal.
He thoughtit would be we'll to
have several grades of cotton seed
meal each one tagged properly, and
letthe purchaser determine whether
he wanted high or low grade
meal.
Mr.. johnson also paid a high
tribute to Col. Newman, who has
resigned his professorsbip to take
effect next July.
Prof. B. H. Rawl devoted the
principal part of his address to
the subject of feeding calves
and pigs He said that no exact
general rule could be laid down
for the feeding of milch cattle or
work horses or any other class of
stock. The most successful feed
er was the one who studied the
individual temper ament and tastes
of bis stock and fed in accordance
Herewith. But there are genera
principles which should be obser--
we'd. The food suitable for work
animals would not do for growing
animals and to feed economically
the needs of the animals would
have to be observed. If the same
food was given in hot weather
that was given in winter, it might
sustain the animal, but it would
not be economical snd much of
the food would be wasted 80 far
as results were concerned.
In the feeding of pigs the
general principle could be
laid down that the most profitable
