FROM USING CHURCH
Another Chap ter in Cumberland
Church Controversy.

Dickson, Tenn, Aug. II AS a
result of the contention over the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church
property at this place, the ruling
elders of the G. p. Church have APP
piled for a mandatory injunction
seeking to restrain w. T. Salmon,
the U. S. A. pastor and his Board
of Elders from further possession
of the church, and TO demand of
them the surrender of the keys and
the prompt and complete abandon
ment Of all claims whatever.
The application for the injunction
has been filed with Chancellor Stout
who has the same under advisement
and who will act finally upon the
matter at GAINESVILLE next Wednes-
day. The result is awaited with
much interest here. This being
the birthplace of the c. p. Church,
the faithful had worked zealously
to build themselves a home in
memory of the past. Many priya-
tons were endured and many self
denials made in order that the ork
might be accomplished. But, no
sooner had the effort succeeded
than the storm burst in all its fury
upon the builders, and like those
that we're led captive to Babylon
like those that refused to forget
Jerusalem-the faithful refuse to
abandon their home; they refuse to
sing the Lords song in a strange
land, and therefore no end of inter-
est attaches to the result.

CARDINAL GIBBONS
Says Put Guilty Standard Oil OFF,
cials in Jail.

New York, Aug. 12.-Cardinal
Gibbons, highest dignitary of the
Roman Catholic Church in America,
who is resting at southampton,
Long Island, expressed himself as
follows to-day regarding the pun.
ishment meted out by the Federal
Court in Chicago to the Standard
Oil Company:
1.-THE ,fne of $40, $40, 600 imposed
upon the Standard Oil Company for
violations of the law is, indeed, a
large sum of money, but ! am not
prepared to state whether or not it
was excessive. If, however, it is
inadequate in compelling COM
pliance with the law the incarcera-
tion of the guilty officers, with its
attendant disgrace, would prove a
more effective remedy.
Moral suasion alone will never
accomplish the needed reformation
in this direction. Many fine SER
mons might be preached to these
men, but they would continue to
accumulate millions by the same
methods which are now being ex-
posed. The disgrace Of imprison-
ment would prove certain remedy,
according to my understanding Of
it's effect upon this class
Concerning the crime situation in
New York, the Cardinal made this
comment
.'As remedy for the crime wave
now sweeping through New York
City, l would suggest that penalties
be imposed that will be common
surate with the crime. The prin-
cipal preventative to such sentences
being imposed and carried out lies
in the fact that able and influential
lawyers lend themselves to the de-
tense of the criminals and the crime
and through astuteness secure in a |
manner it's effect on the case, either
a real or nominal fine.

Pessimistic Feeling in Financial Cir
elias

New York. August 10. - Last
weeks liquidating movement in
the stock market was resumed at
the very opening of business to-
day, and save for a few fitful raj
lies, was maintained throughout
the session. Securities came out
in enormous volume for the first
ten minutes, when the situation
was one of utter Generalization.
The greatest losses were those
recorded by the Hill and Harri-
man stocks, but number of the
less conspicuous issues were
thrown over at severe declines.
The break was checked before
the end of the first hour, but in
the late afternoon prices went still
lower. New low records were
made by some issues, and the list
as whole was very near the low
level made in the "siIent panic"
last March.
Sentiment in high financial cir
cles was decidedly pessimistic, re-
fiecting the disgust and lack of
confidence which appeared to per-
wade the markets Of the world at
this particular time. To large
extent this feeling is based on ex-
listing monetary conditions. Time
money is becoming scarcer at all
the leading financial centers, and
this condition gives promise of be-
coming acute here before the end
Of the month, by which time crop
moving demands will have attained |
their full proportions. Among the
other causes which contributed to
to-daY's sensational declines were |
The weakness of American securi-
lies in London.

FATAL sHooTINGIAT FULTON.
Bert Blackford and Charles Martin
Have Difficulty.

Fulton, KY, Aug. II. B ert
Blackboard shot Charley Martin this
afternoon in r. S. Murphey's place
of business on the Tennessee side
of the town.
The two men had been drinking
and had words on the street during
the day and the ARRAY in Murphey's
place was the termination of the
affair.
1t seems that Martin had gone to
Cairo for work, but on returning to
this city was employed in shop in
which Blackford worked. Thestreet
quarrel was renewed when the two
men met in Murphey's place and
Blackboard claims that Martin made
a movement as if to draw gun,
when he (Blackford) pulled out his
pistol and commenced firing at
Martin. Three shots were fred,
one taking effect in the right side.
After the shooting, Blackford es-
capped to the Kentucky side and
made an attempt to get away, but
was apprehended by Chief of Police
Eaker. He was taken to the rear
of Phelps hardware store n d
placed under guard until warrant
could be issued by the Tennessee
authorities and he was taken back
to Tennessee and carried to Union
City Jail.
Martin fingered for a few hours
and expired.
He has been resident Of Fulton
for many years and is a popular
young married man. Blackford
came to Fulton several months ago
from Cairo, H., where he has been
since in a barber shop.

A Good Plan.

The Tennessean endorses the
efforts of the Chattanooga Cham
Der of Commerce in its plan OF
holding a convention of the secre-
taries of the commercial organi-
cations of the South.
1t has been definitely determined
to hold such convention, and the
dates are fixed for October is and
| II, to meet in the city of Chatta
nooga, and it is believed that the
larger number of commercial bod
les throughout the South win have
delegates present.
The objects of this gathering
will be to discuss plans for render
ing business organizations more
active and efficient in the work of
building up the South, and to OBJ
tain closer cooperation between
them on matters of common inter-
est. A program will be arranged
along these lines, and every secre-
tary who attends will receive prac-
teal ideas from those whose ex-
perience entities them to give adj
vice on the subjects discussed.
Every commercial organization in
the South will be asked to send its
secretary as a delegate to this con-
yention.
Considerable good should result
to the various organizations taking
part in this conference, as well as
giving added impetus to Southern
trade generally. Concerted action
is the only thing needed to bring
to the South as an in
dustriaI center. Nashville Ten
