CASE ME Argument Begins on Cumberland Presby terian Case. Argument began Monday morning before the supreme court In the now celebrated fight for the possession of the Cumberland Presbyterian church property In Atlanta, the central Issue being an attack on the legality of the union of the Cumberland and Northern Presbyterian churches. For years, union was rendered Im possible through the stand of the Cum. berlands against the predestination ar ticle. In 1893 the creed was revised, and predestination was eliminated. Thl* was the opening wedge toward ulti mate union of the two branches, though years were consumed In perfecting the details. Both sides made concession after concession In order to make pos sible a harmonious union. Through properly constituted author ities of the Cumberland Presbyterian church, union was Anally voted, and the result declared In May, 1906. This ac tion, however, did not meet With the approval of a considerable minority, and by the local Cumberland Presby terian • church a suit was-brought for the possession of the church property here, Dr. B. R. Klme appearing as the chief complainant. Dr. George H. Mack, the pastor, who stood for the union, fought the action to gain possession of the property. He contended that two-thirds of the mem bers, all of the officers and the trustees favored the union. When the Issue came on for trial be fore Judge Pendleton, there was great Interest, because the suit was based. In Its Anal analysis, on the contention that the action of the authorities. In declar ing the union, was illegal, and that efforts to force It through the opposi tion of even a minority was contrary to Justice. After a trial. In which there were eomo eharp passages relative to some of the testimony, Judge Pendle ton ruled for the opponents of the union. An appeal was Immediately taken to the higher court. Pending'flnnl ad judication .there, the two divisions, or factions, have used the church on al ternating Sundays. Dr. Mack preaches to Ills following one Sunday and the opponents of union the next, with euch ministers as they may secure. The case Is likely to occupy the su preme court two days In the arguing. Able counsel has been employed by both litigants. Judge John M. Gaut, of Nashville, and.E. D. Carter, of Ala bama, represent the union side, and Judge \V. C; Caldwell, of Trenton, Tenn., and E. 81. Underwood, of Atlan ta. the opponents of the union. Dr. 3!ack states that this union of the Cumberland and Northern Presby terian branches It but a forerunner HUMMEL SA IS DETECTIVES WATCHED MRS. H.

Growth and Progress of the New South Tbs Georgian records bars escb dsy sows JOSEPH B. LIVELY. Until recently the bringing to light of that other subterranean fuel, says The Manufacturers’ Record, petroleum, was conAned In the South principally to the lower Appalachian Aeld. West Virginia alone yielded 42,680,374 of the total 42,724,663 barrels of oil produced In the South be tween 1387 and 1896. In that period the Kentucky-Tennessee Aeld yielded Imt 44,447 barrels, and Texas, where the presence of oil had been known before 1361, had yielded only 1,611 barrels. In 1901, however? following the spectacular "gushers” of Beaumont, the annual production of Texas rose from 336,039 barrels to 4,193,668 barrels, and reached In 1905 23,136,- 138 barrels. From this there was a decline In 1306 to 11.666,620 barrels Meanwhile the search for oil, thus spurred, has expanded In Arkansas. Louisiana, Alabama and Indian Territory, resulting In very large oil de velopments In Louisiana and Indian Territory. The total production of the South In the past ten years has been 263.129,262 barrels, or more than six times the production of the preceding decade. The contract for the machinery for the third cotton-seed oil mill In Guthrie has been let by the Farmers’ Co-Operative OU Mill Company of Outhrle. Okie., which was organised and a territorial charter secured on May 14 last, with 3110.000 capital stock. The bplldlng and equipment will require an expenditure of 176,000. It will be a 40-ton mill, the largest, when completed. In this city. The mill will be controlled exclusively by the Farmers’ Educational and Cn-operetlve Union of America, and the owners of stock are limited exclusively to members of that organisation. Throughout the torritory are numerous cotton gtns. owned by the union, and all such In centra! and northern Oklahoma will feed the oil mill here. At the meeting here, when the contract was let, gtnners were here from every countv m cen tral and northern Oklahoma. W. — J ikUe iSUEBi
