give near route from the coal fields TO
the south. The possibility of Harri-

railroad, connected with the belief that
he will connect that road with the
Norfolk and Western railroad at Bris-

the Southern Railway, is generally
commented on. Again, construction
company, headed by Jackson Smith,
who was one of the Panama Canal
Commissioners, and has spent much

ed to have some connection with this
enterprise The route is a feasible one,
can be cheaply built, and would be- if
built, an important part of through
line to the south. This matter has
heretofore been agitated and as it
would open up a large amount of tim
ber and mineral lands it is believed
that there is no better opening for an
important railway line than this one.

NEXT OCTOBER
REV. JOHN 7. BROWN
Of Johnson City VIII Be One Of
the Principal Speakers on
the Grand Occasion.

Elaborate preparations are being |
made by the Disciples Of Christ for the
celebration of their centennial this year
in Pittsburg, Pa. The date, October
1919, 1909, is taken from the appear
nnce of GA Declaration and Address,
by Thomas Campbell, father of Alex
ander Campbell, September I, 1909,
which was the first and only publica-
tion of "The Christian Association OF
Washington, Pa" an organization
composed of members of different
churches bent on christian union and
missionary propaganda. Their first
church was organized in 1911 at Brush
Run, Washington county, Pa, but the
gear before friends of theirs had estab-
lished one in New York City, and in
1903 Barton w. Stone, who in 1882
formed coalition with the Campbells,
had taken the same position in Ken
lucky. These fnregleams were to the
Declaration and Address what the
Macklenburg Declaration and the Bos
tsaiTea Party were to Thomas Jefter-
son's immortal document Of July 4th,
1916.
from 1913 to 1929 the Campbells
were connected with the Baptists. But
having been received without endors-
ing the Philadelphia confession of faith
and evincing no disposition to conform
H. its tenets their relation with the reg
,llaf ministers of the denomination
was increasingly strained. Originally
the Campbells, Stone and Walter
Scott, who soon became man of
might in the movement, were Presby-
tefians, either seceder NOW united) or
regular.
The Disciples have grown westward
with the progress of the natiou, In the
United States they rank sixth numeF-
caily among religious bodies. In Mis-
souri, they are first and nearly or quite
SO in Kentucky, Indiana and Ol<laho-
ma. Throughout the upper Mississippi
valley their influence is proportionate
TO their membership and they are EN-
listed asgressively in the cause of pro
hibition and other reforms.

F. A. STATION
AGAIN IN HARNESS
WILL BEGIN WORK At ONCE
Johnson City Man at the Head of
the Westchester Company
and Kindred Interests.

In response to insistent demands and
a unanimous vote, f. A. Stratton, of
Mount Vernon, yesterday consented to
again take up the duties of president of
the Westchester Lighting Company, a
position which he relinquished four
years ago. Since that time Mr.. STRAIT
ton has served as chairman of the ex-
ecutive board of the corporation, but
has not been actively connected with
the work. Instead, his time has been
largely devoted to the interests of the
Peekskill Railroad and Lighting Com
pany and the Northern Westchester
company.
AS will be recalled, several weeks ago
the Public Service Commission gave
the Westchester company permission
to purchase stock of the Northern COM
pany, and under the terms of what is
practically merger of two interests,
the lighting business of the entire
county will now be controlled. Mount
Vernon gains in this new order, as il
will be virtually the headquarters.
Mr. Stratton had repeated been urged
to take the presidency of the Westches-
ter company again, and in fact the Of
flee had been left vacant since his re-
tirement, DR.. b. W. Stillwell, the first
vice-president, acting as executive His
administration has been most success
full, but with the expansion of control
and the fact that Mr.. Stratton is pio.
neer in the Westchester company, he
was urged to take up the helm of the
larger interests, and this he has con.
sented to do.
He retains his interests, of course, in
the Peekskill and Northern company
and at meeting of the two corpora
tions, William Rockefeller and f. A
Vanderlip, of the National City Bank
of New York, were named on the di
rectorate of both concerns
The formal action of electing Mr.
Stratton as head of Westchester Light
ing Company also took place yesterday
and the remainder of the present Off

ment for few days, but it was not ex-
pected that he would reserve the de-
cision until the October term.
This means that those who are most
interested in the case, and they are
many, will have quite a long wait ON
their hands before the fate Iof the pri-
mary laws are know, at least so far as
the Chancery Court is concerned,

The many friends of f. A. Stratton,
president of the Northern Westchester
Lighting Co., will be glad to learn that
he has about recovered from his recent
operation for appendicitis. He is now
at his home in Mount Vernon, and
when he gets little more strength he
will leave for his island home in Maine
where he expects to stay until late in
September. Mr. StrattOn has received
many letters and messages of congrat-
ulation on his recovery.-Mt. Pleasant

tion Council accord their representa-
tives full place and power
The sincerity of their plea for christ
ian union is attested by their general
readiness to cooperate in evangelism,
missions and reform. 1t is further
demonstrated just now by the charac-
ter of their centennial campaign. "That
they may all be one that the world
may believen is their chief watchword
and "where the Scriptures speak, we
speak; where the Scriptures are silent,
we are siIent,n defines their method as
it has been for hundred years. No
denominational monument is being
erected and sectarian feeling is ener-
getically discouraged. The endeavor
is not to do something spectacular and
extraordinary, but to make a fuller ap-
proximation to the christianity of
Christ, in its fruits especially.
Seven of the centennial aims are for
individual and household piety and
progress, from "Daily Worship in Ev-
cry Home" to " Every Home Anti-Sa-
loon Territory Seven look to better
ment of each congregation: San the
Church and as Many More in the Bible
School," "Every Church its Mission, "
etc. Each of the seven departments of
missionary, benevolent and educational
activity has its goal or goals. Seven
general aims stand cut before the entire
brotherhood.
Many of them look impossible of at
tainment. So we are surprised to learn
that several have already been sur.
passed. Reaching the aggregate mis-
sionary aim of million dollars two
years ahead of time seemed to justify
increasing it by fifty per cent for 1909
