! LAKE JUNALUSKA, N. C., Aug. 0.--Protestantism is dying out in the rural districts where, heretofore it has been strongest, and is at a standstill in the cities as a result of wore church ing and duplicating of errort attributed to failure of the denominations to con- solidate their forces Dr. Worth M.

] BUT THE WORST. OF THESE ACTS
 IS THE LAST ONE

c HEALING automobiles is bad - practice. Stealing an automo-
 bile belonging to the county and used by the warden of a branch county jail is worse. But driving past the warden in his own machine and speaking to him is worst.
 Of such nature were the conclu- sions reached Friday night by J. A. Brown. when he found himself be- hind the bars in the county jail on charges of burglary and grand lar cency and buying, receiving or con- cealing stolen property.
 Brown, according to deputy sheriffs, drove off with a county automobile that had been parked in front of the court house. The ma chine had been left there by Yves Martin, warden of the Trussville jail, to whom the car had been al- lotted. A short time later Brown !. drove past Martin, with whom he , was acquainted, and spoke to him, : unaware that he was driving Mar tins car. &.-ss ; Martin is said to have recognized the machine immediately, and , Deputies Byron Shirley and Adams started search. It was located within eight hours. The body had been torn off by Brown when the car was found, 1t was reported.

 "The commander of9the government troops has been ordered to pursue Fer rera, who has gone into hiding in the mountains. The war tribunal has been instructed to institute proceedings against him, as he iJ charged with treason against his country.

SEEK AGREEMENT
 ON PIPE CHARGES
Southern Interests To Confer Monday With
 Advisory Board

Southern cast iron pipe interests are scheduled for conference with the general advisory committee of the fourth section, board of southern car riers, in Atlanta, Monday, for dis cussion of a new rate structure on cast iron pipe from various points of pro- duction in the south.
 Teh purpose of this conference with the carriers is to bring about an amicable agreement on the cast iron pipe rates to points in southern terri tory, Ohio river crossings, and eastern and interior eastern points, including the Virginia cities. The revisiors which are taking place in the class rates as we'll as the rates on other spe- cial iron articles will necessitate re- vsion of the rates on cast iron pipe. This revision is also being necessitated by continuous denial from time to time by the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion of fourth section relief which the carriers now enjoy. The cast iron pipe producers of southern territory have already had several conferences among themselves in an effort to. agree on basis which will be satisfactory to all producing points.
 E. NJ. Cole, traffic manager of the American Sast Iron Pipe O., is chair. man of the special committee for the shippers which is handling this propo- sition, and the following are members of the. rate committee: A, J. Ribe. traffic manager, Birmingham NJ. J. aAf faIoney Central Iron & Coal Co, Holt. Ala; NJ A. Clark, Central Iron 6 Coal O., ;J. W. Stanfiel, Stockham Pipe & Fittings Go. !; R. A. McCaffrey, U. S.

JUDGE LANSDEN OF TENNESSEE
 DIES IN CAPITAL
Was Former Chief Justice Of Volunteer State
 Supreme Court
lstata Capltal Rureau. ]

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Aug. g. Judge D. L. Lansden, former chief jus tice of Tenhessee supreme court, died in local infirmary Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, following a lingering ill ness. Judge Lansden was 55 years old and had been prominent in public af- fairs of Tennessee for many years.
 In 1909 he was made chancellor of the fourth ehancery division, which DO sition he retained until 1910. In 1912 he became associate justice and re- mained in that office until 1913, when he became chief justice of the supreme court of the state of Tennessee. Failing health forced him to relin- quish this position last year. In an ef- fort to obtain relief he came to Mont gonnery some weeks ago and had been in a local infirmary since that time. Last Sunday night he suffered stroke of apoplexy and from that time his phy- sicians held little hope for his recovery. 2 Recognized Son
 When his son, David Lansden, of Nashville, arrived it was evident to members of the family that Judge Lans- den recognized him. From that time consciousness was not regained. His strength gradually waned until the end came at 10 o'clock Saturday forenoon.
 John Lansden and Mrs. Hollis John son, son and daughter of the distin- guished iurist, were at his bedside when the end came. Judge Lansden's wife was unable to come to his bedside in Mont gomery owing to the critical illness of their youngest child, an 11-yearzold son.
 The body of Judge Lansdeh, accom- panied by members of his family, left Montgomery Saturday afternoon on a Louisville and Nashville train bound for Nashville.
 Born In 1860
 Dick Latta Lansden was born at Bakers cross roads, in White county, Tenn, May 15, 1869. He was the son of Hugh Hill and Lee Ann McGee Lans- den.
 He u.,,yed his early education in public schools of White county and later attended Doyle college Upon leav- ing that instutition, he devoted four years to teaching, utilizing his spare time in the study of law. He was sue cessful as an instructor and was su- perintendent of the White county schools from 1891 to 1S93.
 Judge Lansden was married to Miss Helen Snodgrass, November 14, 1895. They had seven children, five of whom are still living. David S. Lansden. one of the sons, is chief clerk of the Tennes- see supreme court, while Dick Latta, Jr., John K. and Arthur Buchanan are yet mere youngsters attending public school. The only daughter, Mrs. Flor ence Johnson, lives in Nashville.
 Judge Lansden was a Presbyterian and democrat. He was identified with a number of fraternal organizations, in cluding the Knights of Pythias, I. O. o. r, and the Masons.

As Vice President
Has Quick Death

Cleveland, June 11-A suddenly ap-
pearing boom for former Representa-
tive James w. Good. of Iowa. Presi-
dent Coolidge's western campaign
manager. made great speed for a
short time today and then as sud-
denly as it appeared, hung in mid
air and began to descend.
Mr.. Goods name came out OF con-
ferences which were participated in
by cabinet members and officials
close to the administration. At one
time one official very close to the
president said Mr.. Goods selection as
the vice presidential candidate
seemed about as good as settled
and another said sentiment was
"crystallizing rapidly"
AS others were brought into the
conferences. however, the word came
out that the Good boom was losing
its momentum and little later the
word was passed out that 1t had
stopped.
The intimate details Of the cir
cumstances which led to the launch
ing of Mr.. Goods name with all the
surroundings of substantial admin
istratio backing and then the ap-
parent withdrawal Of support were
not revealed.
