CUMBERLAND CHURCH
WILL CELEBRATE
ITS CENTENARY
THE HuNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY
COMES ON SECOND DAY OF
FEBRUARY.
SERVICES AT CULLEOKA CHURCH
Special Music 49, appropriate Talk
BY Rev. 7. {. Hudson-Denomi-
nation is Native to Tennessee.
Original Organizers.

Centenary exercises in celebration
of the one hundredth anniversary Of
the founding of the Cumberland Pres
byterian church will be held Sunday
afternoon at o'clock at the Culleoka
Cumberland Presbyterian church. Spe-
cial music has been arranged and Rev.
T. E. Hudson will deliver sermon APP
propriate to the occasion. Sunday
morning at II o'clock similar services
will be held at the Pleasant Mount
church, the speaker for the occasion
being Rev. Hudson.
The Cumberland Presbyterian
church is native to Tennessee, as it
was organized on February End, 1910,
near Dickson, Tenn, in Dickson coun-
ty. The organizers were Rev. Samuel
Meadow, Rev. Samuel King and Rev.
Finis Ewing, three ministers of the
Presbyterian church who constituted
the first Presbytery. The church gov
eminent was in some respects similar
to that of the Presbyterian church,
the organization of the new church
being due to a difference in doctrine.
Since it's organization, one hundred
years ago the Cumberland Presbyte-
rian church has had a remarkable
growth, and now has large member
ship in many states. In May, 1906,
the church was split by the ratification
of an agreement with the Northern
Presbyterian church. whereby the two
were merged However, this agree
ment was not ratified by many church
es, resulting in much litigation, ana
in many instances in the organization
of separate churches. This has re-
suited in the use of the terms Loyal
istD an d"Unionist." The "Loyalists"
have eight or ten churches in Marry
county, and are strong and influential.

COURT IS ASKED
TO CONSTRUE THE
LOCAL GAME LAW
MUST RULE WHETHER OR NOT
AGENTS MUST TAKE OUT
LICENSE.
kFORE ESQUIRE GEORGE HAYES
w. S. Parks, Merchant of Hampshire,
Defendant in the case-Mathers
Gordon the Proseeutor-Recently
Named Deputy Warden.

Whether or not dealers In birds who
acted as agents for licensed dealers,
and who themselves received no profit,
are liable to fine for violation of the
game law, is the legal question now
being conned over by Esq George
Hayes, who has reserved his opinion
until he can look further into the law
The particular case at issue is that
of Mathers Gordon, deputy game war
den, VS.. w. s. Parks, prominent mer-
chant at Hampshire. This case was
heard Saturday, and at the conclusion
of the trial a second warrant was
served on Mr.. Parks. Esq. Hayes re-
served his opinion until the second
case was tried, and docketed the trial
for noon Monday. However, Mr. Parks
was unable to appear on account of
Illness in his family, and the case
went over.
In the case tried Saturday it was
proven that the Will Barker Produce
company, of Columbia, acting on the
advice of Deputy Game Warden Goad,
had instructed a number of country
merchants to act as it's agents. These
agents were to receive no profit on the
game they purchased. Mr.. Goad re-
tired from office on December / and
was succeeded by Mr.. Gordon, who
held that agents for the Barker Pro-
duce company were liable to fine il
they bought game without taking out
a license.
1t was proven by Mr. Barker that
Mr.. Goad had stated to him that In
his opinion it was no violation of the
law for the country merchants to act
as agents for the local house, provided
they made no profit on the game
handled. Mr.. Goad testified that he
had made this statement of facts to
Mr.. Barker
Mr.. Gordon contended that Mr..
Parks had made profit on the birds
that he handled, in that he paid for
them in some instances in trade. max
ing profit on his merchandise.
There was but little controversy as
to whether or not Mr. Parks had
bought birds, as it was admitted that
at different times he had. Mr.. Parks
denied that he had bought any birds
since Mr.. Gordon had instructed him
that he was violating the law.
As there are a number Of dealers
over the county who have been acting
as agents the outcome of the case
will be watched with interest.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. BE
fore an audience that packed and
jammed the court room, Attorney Gen.
eral Charles Gates today delivered a
telling and effective argument in the
case of the state VS.. Robin Cooper and
Duncan Cooper, under sentence OF
twenty years in the penitentiary for
the murder of United States Senator
Edward Ward Carmack. The scene
might have been shifted from the
court room of Davidson county, when
the case was on trial before the lower
court, SO intense was the excitement
and so acute the interest. Friends OF
the martyred statesman from all over
the state were here to hear the speech
of Gen. Gates, and nothing but the
smallness of the court room prevent
ed the attendance from being much
larger. The two defendants and
host of their relatives and kinsmen
were in the court room, as on yester-
day, and listened as If spell-bound to
the eloquent words that tripped over
each other as they fell from the sill
vered tongue of the attorney general.
Going straight to the record, where
he confined his remarks, Gen. Gates
demolished the argument made by
Judge Anderson, mingling logic and
sarcasm, as he pointed to irrefutable
truths that could not be gotten around.
He took up the theory Of self-defense
and showed how shallow it was. pay
ing his RESPECTS in no uncertain
terms to counsel for the appellants for
injecting politics into a case, that
should be tried only, from the, stand
point of justice. He handled the testi-
mony OF, John Sharp without gloves,
and declared, it to. be a preyarication.

lFegular Correspondence.)


NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 2.-The
Supreme Court room was filled to its
capacity this morning by a crowd
eager to hear Attorney General Gates
argument in the Cooper case. The de-
PENDANTS were accompanied to the
court room by number of relatives.
Attorney General Gates, who will
make the only argument in behalf OF
the jury's verdict, had large map OF
the scene Of the Carmack murder with
which to illustrate his speech. Gen,
Gates deprecated the attempt to bring
politics into the case and said there
was nothing in the record touching
Senator Carmack's alleged recent con-
version to the prohibition cause, as
had been alleged. He emphasized the
fact that Carmack was shot three
times from the back, the neck once
and the left side twice. This, he said,
did not accord with the theory of self
defense. He reviewed the evidence
very thoroughly and argued that the
appellants must overthrow the strong
evidence presented by the State, and
the jury's verdict based thereon, to
get new trial Gen. Gates occupied
the entire morning When he conclud-
ed the court adjourned until tomorrow
morning.

newspaper has very much real power
over men or events OF these days unless
it is known to be standing sanely and
steadfastly for the welfare OF the whole
community and nation. The day OF party
organs is past. Sensational papers APP
pealing to popular passions cannot move

has resi- tremendous power in these days
is the ind pendent, reliable disinterested

a square deal, whatever happens. An
example for this sort Of journalism is
