ADVERSE VOTE
In Question OF Healing The
Church Discussions.
Rev. J. L. Wyatt Presides Over I'M
portant Cumberland Pres
byterian Conference.

St. Louis, Oct. 1.-THE Cumber-
land Presbyterians, inn conference
at the Epworth hotel yesterday, de-
cided that they would not go back
into the old Presbyterian church,
and denied the right of even ma
jority of their own presbyters to
vote them into another communion.
The delegates to this conference
represent a constituency of more
than 100000 members of the church.
The conference was organized on
Thursday by the election of Rev. j.
L. Wyatt, of Hopkinsville, KY. as
permanent chairman, and Rev. j..
G. Anderson, of Bucks Bluff,
Tenn, as secretary.
The Cumberland Presbyterians
in 1910 rejected the doctrines Of ia
tality, foreordination and decree,
as taught in the Westminster con-
fessional, and seeded from the
Presbyterian church under the
name Of Cumberland Presbyterians.
The movement on hand now is to
merge the sects.
1t was the consensus of opinion of
the delegates that while it is ap-
parent the merger may carry by a
majority Of votes of the presbyters,
yet it is evident that a very corsid-
cradle majority Of the rank and file
of the church is decidedly opposed,
Members have declared that they
will join other denominations rath-
er thar be voted in.

Against Union.

Columbia, 5. c., Oct. 1.-The
Second Presbytery of the Reformed
Presbyterian synod convened at
Clinton yesterday. A vote was
taken on the proposition to unite
with the United Presbyterian
today, and the expression
was unfavorable to the proposition
by vote of "a to 8. This is the
first of the eight or ten presbyteries
of the Associate Reformed Presby-
terian synod to vote on this propo-
sition. The others will vote within
the next few months. The chief OBJ.
lection to union with the Northern
as brought out in this
meeting, is the negro, the Northern
church admitting negroes to mem
bershlp.

The local church on Sunday in

is not satisfactory and the Prince

STILL SPEECHLESS,
Is Wesley GOOde, Who Was
Stricken Dumb.

Wesley Goode, son of Jake Goode,
formerly OF this county but now OF
Sadlersville, Tenn, who lost his
speech more than a month ago, is
yet unable to make any kind of a
sound. His voice suddenly left him
while alone in a tobacco field. He
was surprised and frightened, and
went home at once. The family
could not tell what had befallen
him, so sent for a physician. At
that time there was hope of his be-
ing able to speak again in the near
future, but as yet he is unable to
utter a sound. Some time before
this accident Young Goode com
planned constantly of his throat
itching, but paid no special atten.
tion to it. He has gone to Texas,
in the hope that he may be benefit
ed by change OF climate.

Efforts by the Russians to retake

that heavy guns newly mounted

japanese have completed the chang

This will be of great assistance to

 Fort Worth, Tex, July @-The strike situation today has been without feature Tickets have been maintained as usual, but in spite of this the packers have taken on 1500 new workmen. Receipts at the yards were about normal, and the purchases by packers were in the same proportion. The call for engineers. fire men and other employees in the plants to go out, made at northern points, was not received here. or if received, was not acted upon. Not a man left the plants to- day. On the contrary, many members of the Butchers union tore off their badges on seeing the hopelesseness of the strike at this point, and went to work
 Packers bought the normal number of cattle and announced that they have a cattle that may come into the yards here. The defection of engineers fremen and electricians, such as has been reported from other points, will have no effect here. the plants having secured enough men to fill these positions should strike be called. The only distraction of the day was caused by a striker picket trying to prevent seeker of work from going to the plants. A special officer knocked the picket from a bride for in- terfering with the would-be workmen. No rioting will be permitted by the sheriff.

AMUSEMENT TS.
East Lake Casino.

East Lake Casino.
 The Century minstrels gave an up-to- date and entertaining performance at the East Lake Casino last night. In fact the company furnished an agreeable surprise, for they gave a minstrel performance that compared favorably with the shows put on by much larger organizations dur ing the winter season. The jokes sound ed new, there were quite a number of song hits that were encored and the olio numbers were much above the average.
 The programme opened with a regular minstrel first part which afforded oppor- and the ballad singers to render songs that were well received. Dear Old Girl" sung by James Horton, made quite hit. MT. Horton has very pleasing tenor voice. The Sweetest Girl in Dixie" by Frank Carroll was also rendered very ef- fectively. The end men did their part by furnishing some good jokes
 The olio was characterized by unusual cieverness. Smith and Baker, singing and dancing comedians, did some difficult and grotesque dancing that won them ap- plause. while Frank Fogerty gave one of the best monologues that has been heard here In some time. He has several new quips In his assortment of humor that are worth hearing. One of the strongest numbers on the programme, however, was the performance of the Three Amer lean Stars who not only furnished fine music but enlivened their performance with some genuine comedy. Their play Ing on the marimba was a musical treat and won much applause J. Frank Hop kins introduced a novelty in the form of tricks on drum that took well. MT, Hopkins can beat a drum in several dif- ferent ways, all of which are interesting His imitation of train was very real istio. All the musical numbers of the American Stars were well rendered and they furnished one of the most pleasing parts of the performance.
 The Century Comedy Four Is a ouartette that sings well. They were encored sev- eral times and all their songs were ap- plauded. La velle and Grant concluded the performance with some feats of strength. Both are magnificent phvsi- cal specimens and do some novel acro- batic work
 The Century fninstreis will prove one of the best attractions seen at East Lake this season and will probably draw large houses all this week.
