The DUNCAN CASE.
First A. r. Fl Presbytery
Affirms Action OF Called
Meeting in Relation to
Rev. VIM Duncan.

Gastonia special in Charlotte
Observer. May 8: By a vote of
40 to % the First Presbytery
of the Associate Reformed Pres.
byterian Church of the South
today affirmed the action of the
called meeting in February when
tks pastoral relations which
have been existing for about four
years between Rev. William
Duncan and the First church OF
Charlotte were dissolved. The
Presbytery also ruled, after an
exhaustive discussion of ecclesi.
astical law, that the appeal to
Synod, which Mr.. Duncan and
bic followers had given notice Of,
was not in order and that the
matter could be carried to the
hlgher court only as q complaint,
the book of government provid-
ing for appeal only in judicial
cases when either sentence OF
censure has been passed. Fol-
lowing closely on the heels of
these two courses, the Presby-
terry adopted without division a
resolution introduced by Presi.
dent j. 5. Moffatt, of Due West,
S. c., asking for the appoint
ment of committee of three
to look into the intimstions
which have gained wide circu-
lation in regard to Mr.. Duncan
and advise the Presbytery as to
the wisdom or necessity of pre-
ferrine charges against him.

HORSE INSTANTLY KILLED.
Runaway Down Washington Street
Sunday Afternoon.

In a sensational runaway on Wash
ington street at 1880 o'clock Sunday
evening a horse was instantly kill
ed anu the driver, Batista Comolli,
very fortunately escaped with no
more serious injury than sprained
ankle. Mr.. Comolli was driving down
the Washington street hill in an ex-
press wagon when the horse in an
other team which was passing, slip
ped on the ice, frightening his
horse, which took the bits and bolt
ed down the hill at fearful rate.
Mr.. Comolli pluckily kept in his seat
it's teeth and his yanking on the
reins made no impression whatever.
The horse raced down the street,
gaining speed at every jump and the
wagon swinging one way and then the
other on the icy street. The animal
kept in the street until in front of
the Baptist church when it turned in
close the sidewalk and ran head
frs into a large electric wire pole
just in front of the City hotel. The
crash was heard all around the
square and a large crowd of people
quickly gathered The horse fell
dead beside the pole. Witnesses of
the accident say that Mr.. Comolli
was thrown high in the air just es-
Gaping the pole and landed in the
street several feet ahead of the
horse. He was quickly picked up and
carried into the City hotel. He was
in a dazed condition for several min
utes but soon recovered and DR.. w
d. Reid, who called, found that his
left ankle was badly swollen from a
sprain. Mr.. Comolli was then taken
to his home on River street where
the doctor attended to his injury.
The dead horse was loaded onto n
wagon and carted away by Fred
Mears. The only damage done to the
express wagon was a broken cross

"GET READY FOR THE CANAL,
Speech Delivered Last Night Before
Southern Commercial Congress-.

Washington, D. c., Dec. Elm a
speech delivered before the Southern
|.Commercial Congress at the New
Willard Hotel, in this city, John Bar
rett, Director of the International
Bureau of American Republics
sounded the slogan which he says
should be passed along through the
Southern States in preparation for
the opening of the Panama canal. His
remarks, in part follow:
ut is of the highest Importance
not only to the South but to the
whole country that we should begin
to get ready for the Panama Canal.
We are now actually confronted with
serious danger to our commerce
and our prestige abroad-namely
that we shall complete the Canal
only to find that other countries will
gain greater practical benefits from
1t than will the United States.
The one great thing, therefore, that
our people and our Congress now
should do is to study and set in mo-
ton such activities and policies as
VIII place the entire land in readi-
ness to enjoy, and profit from, the
new routes and facilities provided by
the Canal. 1t will be almost criminal
lack OF foresight to spend four humid
red millions Of dollars ($4OO. 900 OOO)
digging this waterway and then
awaken at its completion to find that
we are not in position to utilize
fully its much discussed advantages.
There are twenty-one States of the
Union bordering ON the high seas
and having ports from which vessels
ought to steam through the Panama
canal and yet hardly one of them
realizes the opportunities which the
Canal offers, with it's completion
only five years distant. There should
be started a slogan Get ready for
the Canal which would be heard
all along the Gulf, Atlantic and Pa
cific coasts and inaugurate a nation
al movement to prepare for it in a
way that will be effective and prac-
tical. Every city and commercial
center having any interest in for
eign commerce should acquaint it.
