In Xnshvlllc on October 4 to consider the

Washington, Aug. 9.—James M. Griggs,
representative In congress from the second
district of Georgia, chnlnnnn of the Dem
ocratic congressional committee, has given
out the following Interview on the pres
ent railroad controversy:
'.There Is too more reason for Federal In
terference In the regulation of railroads by
the states now than during the life of the
first Interstate commerce law< The Hep
burn law doe* not anywhere disregard the
rights of the states, but on the other baud
Carefully refrains from doing so.
"Why a United States Judge should feel
empowered by this law to filter Into nil
the states of the union, and nullify regu
lations made solely to rover snd control
transportation within the stntes la beyond
the ken of those who believe In the con
stitution. The reason for this can be found
only in the evident desire aud Intention
of the Judges iff United Stntes courts to
extend their Jurisdiction to the furthest
limit possible. Even the administration
yielded ou this point In the North Caro
lina contest, nod. In my opinion. It will
yield completely when the supreme court
S ets through with the eases about to come
efore It.
“The United 8tates has never granted
any rights to the states. The states In
convention created the United States, and
unequivocally reserved to themselves all
rights not granted In the constitution to
their creature, the United Stntes.
“If the fact that railroads run from one
state to another confers Jurisdiction on the
United States courts ns to matters strictly
concerning the npctlous of railroads entirely
within the stated, then one man who shoots
another across the line between North Car
olina nnd Virginia mast lie tried by the
United Stntes court, nnd not by the state
within which tho crime was committed."

Presbyterian dissented from the West

2. That Christ died, not for a part

, In 1906 the Cumberland Presbyterian
church contained seventeen synods, 114
presbyteries and 200,000 members. For
years efforts have been under way to
reconcile the two branches. In 1901
It took definite ehape, and committees
from the two churches were named to
consider the question of a union of the
two bodies. At a meeting of the gen
eral assembly In Decatur, III., In May,
1906, the recommendation of the com
mittee for reunion was adopted.
The dissenting members of the Cum
berland Presbyterian church, however,
declined to accept this action, and con

church. The case here arose over a
question of Jurisdiction by this assem

4. The general assembly of the Cum

constitution of that organization, has
executive, legislative and Judicial au

When the provisions of the constitution
In reference to the authority of the gen

nnd In the light of, the purposes for
which the organization was formed, and
the history and antecedents of the or

such organization upon such terms and

the general assembly shall dictate.
History of tho Church.
The Cumberland Presbyterian church
was organized In Dickson county; Ten
nessee. February 4, 1810. In three years
tly, church had three Presbyteries and
they met In 1813 nnd constituted a
synod. In the "Brief Statement” It was

Church rPoperty.
Dr. Klme and others were trustees
of the First Cumberland church prop
erty of Atlanta, and It was held that
they had nlade a loan deed to secure
on Indebtedness of $5,900, $4,600 of
which was unpnld. Moreover that 32,-
200 of other Indebtedness was outstand
ing against the property. They sought
to prevent the transfer of the property
to the Northern Presbyterian church.
It was chargde that the conduct of the
defendant (Dr. Mack) had greatly dam.
aged the usefulness of the church and
Impaired its financial resources.
Judge Pendleton's Decision.
Judge Pwulleton held that the union
of the two churches was null and void
and granted the Injunction prayed for.
This decision the supreme court re
versed.
Justice Cobb holds that every Indi
vidual has the right to determine for
himself all of those questions which
relate to his relation to the Creator of
the Universe, and that no civil au
thority can coerce him to accept any
religious doctrine, nor restrain him
from association with any class or or
ganization which promulgates religious
views. It Is altogether a matter of In
dividual conscience, with which no hu
man authority hae the slightest right
to Interfere.
Justice Cobb's Opinion,
"When on Individual becomes a mem,
ter of a religious organisation his unit
ing with the same Is hs voluntary act,
and he beeomse bound by the rules ami
usages of the organzatlon. As to all
matters purely ecclesiastical he Is
bound by the decisions of the tribunals
fixed by the organization to which he
belongs ns nn arbiter to determine Ihe
disputed questions relating to matters
peculiarly within the province of the
organization.
"We will not undertake to determine
whether the Judgment of the general
assembly Is corect. The constituted
tribunal of the church has determined
the question, and, whether determined
rightly or wrongly, as a civil court,
having nn ecclesiastical Jurisdiction
whateyer, we will not attempt to re
vise the conclusions nnd findings of
those who arc learned In the eccle
siastical law."

Atlanta Immediately after the war, and
since that time they have been essen

city.
Mrs. English, while not an active
member of women's clubs, was always
Interested In whatever made for the
betterment of womanhood, and never
fulled to lend her Influence to any
good cause In which womanhood was
seriously concerned. She was espec
ially Interested In church snd charit
able work, particularly those branches
connected with the Presbyterian
church of which she had been a de
voted member since her girlhood.
But It was the home she graced with
her gentleness, her tenderness and her
devotion to her husband and children.
To the worthy poor she was ever ready
and eager to hold out the helpful hand,
and her charities were large, though
rarely known to any save a few.
This good and noble woman will be
missed by a wide circle of friends, who
have known her for lofty character, for
her helpful and beautiful life.

Despite ths published rumor that tha

changed so that the closing hour will

line has materialized, and It Ib not be

Recently In Macon, the hour of clos

It Is not believed that such a propo

that the council would seriously con
