JOINT DEBATES TO OCCUR

Washington, November 11.--(Special) A spirited contest will take place in Mississippi for the seat in the House occupied by Representative John Sharp Williams when he retires at the end of the forthcoming Congress to take two years rest before he enters the Senate in order to prepare himself so that he may not appear mentally in ferior to Senator Platt of New York and other senators.
 Whichever way the election goes the Eighth district will probably send to Congress the Hon. Patrick Henry, or plain Pat, as the folks call him, or rather them, for there are two of that name out after the Williams vacancy.

His nephew, Pat Henry, Is from Vicksburg. is 46 years old. was major in the Spanish American war, and also has had congressional service.

 'Tn BankseWe Trust"
 A special from New York tonight says. At the regular weekly meeting of the Presbyterian Ministers associa- tion of New York city, held today, the Rev. w. J. Peck, pastor of the Union Congregational church of Corona. l.. l., introduced a resolution condemning tn e omission of the familiar motto "In God we trust from the "$10" gold pieces
 The resolution was to the effect that 1t was the sentiment of the association that the coin of the land should have the inscription on it. MT. Peck. in moving the resolution, moved that a copy be sent to the Treasury Depart ment.
 "They apparently gave up their trust in God and put it in banks and trust companies" MT. Peck said tonight. "Perhaps the recent financial situation can be attributed to that. It looks as if this country was lapsing into bar barism. They have taken the name of Christ from the Christian exercises of the public schools and now they have taken God from the coins. They must believe in God if they believe in any thing"
 The association comprises the min isters of the Presbyterian Reform and Congregational denominations of New York and vicinity. w. ;.
