CHURCH 10 RETAIN
 ITS PRESENT NAME
Many Names Suggested for Independent Presbyterian
 Church at Meeting

At a meeting of the members of the Independent Presbyterian Church, Dr. Henry NJ Edmonds, pastor. at the Tenn pie Emanu-EL yesterday morning, it was decided by d vote of large ma- jority of the members that though the church had been received back as d part of the Presbyterian churches of the United States. the Independent Presby- terian Church would still retain it's name without change for the time being.
 Talks were made by many different members of the church. and also many new names were suggested for the church Among them were the Grace byterians Church and the Community Presbyterian Church.
 As each name was suggested d vote was taken to see how many of the mem bers of the church were in favor of ex- cepting it. So many names were sug- gested ana the memb bers of the church seem to be divided in their opinion of the proper name that pr. Edmonds sug- sested that a vote be taken to whether or not the meeting of selecting a name for the church should not be postponed.
 The vote was taken. and it was decid- ed that the church would be known as the Independent Presbyterian Church for the time being and that another meeting with the object rn view of changing the name of the church would not be held until the new church building, upon which the work will be started soon, is completed.

This statement was made by Col Tom Pound. the well known locomo- tive engineer, in discussing proposed remedies to stop the speeding of auto mobiles. Colonel Pound stated that fines and imprisonments seened to be ineffective and suggested that the sell ing of few automobiles when the owners-<were convicted of speeding would do more to put a stop to the practice than any of the remedies sug- gested following the recent deplora ble deaths from automobile accidents.
 The frequency of automobile acci- dents in our city, with sometimes fatal results, call for the earnest efforts of our authorities and the cooperation of the public to put stop to the prac- tice of speeding, which is generally the cause of the accidents" said Col onel Pound Various remedies have been suggested. but so far the results nave ben anything but satisfactory.
 "i make the suggestion that the
 automobile of the person convicted
 Of speeding be confiscated. The
 law providing for the seizing and
 subsequent sale of automobiles
 used for the transportation of Ii-
 quOr has stood the test of the su-
 Preme courts. and it seems to me
 that the law could easily be ap-
 piled to the deadly speeder. Sure
 ly the safeguarding of the lives of
 our citizens is much more impor-
 tant than the suppression of the
 transportation of liquor. I believe
 nte of faxx av.st
 the offcnse of speeding would have
 n most statutory effect and do much
 to stop the practice.
 Tn this connection I would like to say a few words along other lines. Fol lowing recent fatal accident, one of our respected citizens, grief-strfcken at the death of his friend, who was killed in an automobile accident and horri- fled at the deplorable death the next lay of an estimabIe lady issued a card commenting on the sad occur ances and used the word murder in

Every day of the fair was day of sunshine. The marvellous weather to- gether with the features and exhibits drew crowds such as had never before been in attendance at the fair. The large total figure, of course. is made rossible by the fact that the atten- dance throughout the week was so consistently good. Previous fairs haze faced some serious weather handica ps, have been better if made to order by the fair association itself.

WHERE THE FAULT LIES

Now, the point I wish to make is this, that in a great many cases when accidents occur the fault lies directly with the automobile driver Let me call attention to an experience that oc- cured to me within the past week or so. While approaching a railroad cross ing near the depot of one of the towns on my run, which is protected by gates that are lowered some time before thc train reaches the crossing, I had slowed down bit and just 'as I approached the crossing an automobile dashed through the gates and stopped on tho track. l reversed the engine and threw on the brakes and managed to stop the train before hitting the auto mobile.
 There was a man and woman in the auto and the only explanation the man could give of the occurrance was that he did not see the gates. Wit. nesses stated that he was driving at terrific rate of speed as he approached the crossing. Now in this instance nothing but the grace of God and the perfect condition of the brakes saved the life of the man and his com. panion. Had they been Killed l have no doubt there would have been those who would have blamed me. So in these matters it is we'll to reserve Judgment until the real facts are known"

reference to the driver Of a bus that collided with the automobile in which the lady was killed.
 ~T, too. shared the general indigna- tion following these accidents, but it seems to me that the gentleman was a little nasty in his remarks. The yer. dict of the coroner was unavoidable accident. I have been locomotive en- gineer for many years and have hauled thousands of passengers during that time, and. thanks be to God, I have never yet had an accident. But some of my fellow engineers have not been so fortunate and I want to say that >no one deplores an accident more than the man so unfortunate al s to run owe, some one and death to follow 1 have known men to so completely lose their nerve over an accident of this kind that they have quit the road

 The large and spacious drawing room, library and sun parlors had been trans- formed into a bower of gorgeous flow CTS, ferns and palms for the occasion, lending an air of fairy land to the en- Vlronment-a beautiful setting for the wedding ceremony.
 AS the strains of the Isohengrin Wed l. ding March were waited OCT the as- semblage, the bridal party entered, the groomsmen, Messrs. William Thomas, Jr, brother of the groom; Clark Miller, Werner McClelland all of Pittsburg, Theodore Smith of Greenville, Pa; Chas. O. Locke, Jr., brother of the bride, and Vernon Badham of Birmingham ap- preached the altar from the music room while the groom and his best man, Mir Charles Pagan, of Pittsburg, awaited the bride at the priedieu, in the lovely sum- parlor.
 Evergreens, palms, Mandonna dahlias and ascension lilies formed the decora- ton of the altar and the soft lights from n:yriads of candelabra blended artistical- ly with the stately flowers and graceful ra i1inc
