CUMBERLAND CHURCH CASE
OPINION BY JUDGE NEIL, CHAN
CELLOR, AFFIRMED.
Principles in Landrith vs.. Hudgins, Pre-
viously Settled, Govern in
This Case.

Nashvillc.--Judge VI. n. Neil, Of the
Tennessee supreme court, handed down
an opinion in the case OF +. w. Bonham
ct al. W.. J. T. Harris ct al, known as
the Grace Cumberland Presbyterian
Church case from Nashville. The pos
session Of church property is involved.
The court holds that under the facts
and the principles settled in Landrith vs..
Hudgins, the compliments are entitled
to recover the church property for which
they sue. Judge Grafton Green dis
scented.
"This suit grows out of the eontro-
versy which was settled by this court
in the ease Of l4andrith vs.. Hudgns, 12l
Tenn, $50.
In that case this court held that the
union attempted between the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church and the Pres
byterian Church in the United States
Of America, or more briefly called, the
Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., was void
and that in case of division OF con-
gregation of the Cumberland Presby-
terrain Church and a subsequent litigs
tion over the church property, that fac
ton which adhered to the doctrinal
standards of the Cumberland Presbyte
rian Church was the true congregation
and was entitled to the property. The
court also held in that case that the
faction of such congregation which went
over to the Presbyterian Church, U. S
A., in recognition of such void attempt
ed union had no longer any right t.
the church property.
"The complainants in the present bill
claim to be and represent that portion
of the congregation of Grace Cumber
land Presbyterian Church which re
manned with that church and did no
60 over TO the Presbyterian Church, U
S. A., and the proof sustains this con
tention. The proof also shows that tn
defendants and those whom they repre-
sent recognize such void union and put
licly claim to be members of the Pres
byterian Church, U. S. A.
Under the foregoing facts and tn
principles settled in Landrith VS.. Hue
gins, the compliments are entitled I
recover the church property for whic
they ste, being the church house an
the land on which it rests, with tn
appurtenant property-nothing else al

PECULIAR AFTER EFFECTS

Doctors in all parts of the country

VEGETABLE AND FRUIT MEN
MEET IN ANNUAL SESSION At
NASHVILLE.
Judge Ewing commends Organization
for Its Effort to Correct Exist
ing Evils

notwithstanding for the Board OF
Trade, Judge Robert Ewing, member OF
the agricultural committee, welcomed
the Tennessee Vegetable Fruit and Bee
men to Nashville, saying, 10 parts
"Geutlemen-I can say very truth
fully that no more pleasing duty could
have been assigned me by the NASH
VILE Board Of Trade than 90 extend, on
its behalf, a very cordial welcome to
Nashville TO such a very helpful and
patriotic organization As yours. You
have held meetings here on many pre-
yious occasions. / sincerely hope that
the present one will be so pleasant to
members and so productive OF good to
your fcllow-citizens throughout the state
that you will, before you leave, pass
some kind of resolution if only a silent
one in your hearts, that Nashville, as
the capital, central city OF the state,
hereafter shall have The honor and pleas
Te Of receiving YOU each year.
"You are fully alive to the fact that
the extraordinary cost Of living is now
the one subject uppermost in the minds
Of all classes All agree that the situa-
ton which now embarrasses us is any
thing but agreeable.
"One cause, perhaps, is that some in
land communities which used to enjoy
the best of food now find that the means
of transporting this rapidly to the larg-
est cities which pay the highest prices
are so perfect that unless raisers lirIoly
resolve to keep for their own consump-
ton the things which they raise, these
are almost taken from them by the at
tractive prices which they know they
can obtain in these markets. Then, again
cold storage houses OF magnitude have
been established in all of these larger
cities. These preserve so perfectly and
for so long time perishable things that
the temporary over-supply OF these
which used to offer occasional oppor
tunities of getting things cheaply, nc
longer fayors consumers.
Vegetables, fruits, honey and othel
foods of like nature, to the better ant
cheaper production of which YOU ar
now devoting laborious attention, go fa'
toward furnishing us the means OF liv
ing comfortably, In the matter o
fruits, every one must admit that year
ago, when agricultural knowledge wa
not so far advanced, many Of the dis
tricts of Tennessee did produce fruit
of the very best quality. What ha
been done in the past in the way o
production Of such apples can surely b
done again.
: II am not practical farmer, an
my thoughts on farming matters are
perhaps, of but little worth, but know
edge of this deficiency on my part sha
not prevent me from saying that
think that an association like yours
on the right track for the cOrrectio
of evils which are bearing very heavil
upon many communications ow

HARRISON GIVEN PARDON.
Escaped From County Road Several
Years Ago.

Nashville.--GOv. Hooper granted
pardon to A. II. Harrison, who was con-
victed of an assault in the Davidson
County Criminal Court in 1905 and SEN
fenced to the county road for six
months. Shortly after Harrison had
been sent to the county road he es-
capped and went to Indiana, where he
secured employment and married. Re
Gently he returned to Davidson County
and secured employment in Nashville
and was making a comfortable home
for his wife and family when he was
recognized and officers re-arrested him.
His wife was left with the care Of
the children and in a strange city. Sew
eral persons became interested in the
case. As result of this interets and
the fact that Harrison behaved him
self while in Indiana and since his re
turn to Nashville, and the further fact
that Gov Hooper has letter from his
employer stating that he is good man
and that he will take him back and
give him employment, the pardon as to
the road sentence and also the fine was
issued.

OUR AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT
WILL RESULT IN BRINGING HOME

Many Western and Northwestern Farm

Nashyille.-The Tennessee campaign
in the interest Of immigration is pro-
dusing results. A gentleman who is
making n tour OF the Northwest with
one Of the Tennessee exhibits writes as
follows from Chillioothe Mo-;
"The second week OF the Northwest
ern exhibit Of the Tennessee Bureau of
immigration, in charge Of j. j. j.
Johnsonius and Il. G. Settle, represent
ing Commissioner T. f. Peek, has been
very successful II has been well adj
vertised and has been inspected by
hundreds Of the citizens Of this city
and county.
"Chillicothe is in the center Of a
rich agricultural country. The county
is traversed by the Wabash, Burlington
& Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail-
roads, and the farmers, who are thrifty
and prosperous, find ready and con
venient market for the products. Land
in this viiqity and around Mexico,
Audrain County, the first stop Of the
Western tour, is held at very high prices,
ranging from SIS to $3.50 per acre.
There is little opportunity for the man
OF moderate means to acquire farm
OF sufficient area to afford him liv-
ing.
'The Tennessee exhibit has been
visited by many men who are really
interested in finding a section where
lands are cheap and the climate milder
and this FIRST venture of the state in ad
vertising promises to bear good fruit
Zone farmer, who owns 100 acres
and has five sons, wants to sell his
land In Northern Missouri and ia in
vestigating Tennessee. He wants Il
buy in some section where land il
cheap and where he can establish him
self and his boys in the same neighbor
hooG. He will visit Tennessee.
Another farmer from Illinois, wh'
visited the exhibit, stated that he haC
Just sold his farm in that state TO
$1s5 per acre and was going to Ten
nessee in few weeks and would 10
cate there if he could find a farm
suited TO his purpose. He is an eN
tensive breeder of Percheron horses
and expects to visit Middle TENNESSEE
He was supplied with literature fror
the exhibit, and seemed to be very f0
vorably impressed. Several others e1
pressed desire to visit the state, an
it is believed that homeseekers' excm
sions from the territory covered b
the exhibits will carry many
search of milder climate and cheape
lands.
"The exhibition Of the 300 stereOI
ticon views carried by the exhibit ha
been attracting large crowds. Tn
views are from all sections of tn
state and cover the agricultural, mil
ing and industrial features as well q
city views, mountains, rivers and waite

WOMEN and HEALTH.

Women ARE beginning TO realize
more fully that good health Is not 20
be found IN the use Of cosmetics and
lace powders. The appearance OF
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most impOrtent 70 the health OF eT-
cry woman IS regularity Of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches,
pimples and general air Of lassitude,
Is in most every case due 10 consti-
patton or indigestion, or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
n combination Of simple laxative
herbs with pepsln known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable TO
harsh salts and oathartics and violent
purgatlve waters that disturb the
whole system without afiording more
than temporary relief.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin IS a
tonic Laxative. mild in its action
pleasant TO the taste and positive in
its effect, strengthening The muscles
Of stomach and bowels so that after
a short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural fune
tions without assistance.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is sold
by druggists everywhere in soc and
500 bottles If you have never tried
It, write for a sample to DR.. W. b
Caldwell, 2O1 Washington st., Mont
cello, ILL.,; he will gladly send a tria
bottle without any expense to yo'
