Hall, of Nashville. Moderator of the
Assembly of 1906; and W !•*. Steven
son of Cheraw. S. <The General
Assembly will await the presentation
of no other report with a greater
degree of Interest than the report of
the Committee on Conference, and
there is no matter of greater impor
tant** to tome before the body than
the question of the union of these
two churches.
The standards held by tiie United
Presbyterian Church are the same a*
those held by the Southern Presbyte
rian Church and In the same sense
each church accepts them. The two
churches possess the same Scotch an
cestry, adhere to the same policy,
and administer the affairs of benevo
lences under the* same departments.
The distinct point of difference be
tween the two churches Is the ex-
. Iu?lvc use of the Psalms In the ser
vice of praise in the l lilted Presby-
icrian Church and it is around thin
point in all probability, that the
greatest discussion will center in the
consideration of the union of the two
churches.
Two Other Big Features.
Then are two other questions to
come before the General Assembly
that will constitute outstanding fea
tures: The Federal Council and the
brief popular statement of Doctrine
»if the Church.
During the Assembly of 1012, held
at Bristol delegates were appointed
to represent the Southern Presbyte
rian Chuivh in the Federal Council
of the Churches of Christ in Ameri-
i a. which held Its quadrennial meet
ing in December, at Chicago. The
report of these delegates will he heard
with interest. It is not Improbable
that overtures will be presented to
the Assembly urging that it with
draw again from membership in the
Council, but it is likely that a second
withdrawal from membership in the
Council will be opposed as ably as
!t will be recommended.
Two changes in the form of gov
ernment of the church have been
proposed and will be considered by
the Atlanta Assembly. One Is with
reference to cases of trial in the
«hurch and the proposed change,
which was approved by the Bristol
Assembly, would give the Synod and
the General Assembly the power, at
their own discretion, to commit any
case of trial coming before them on
appeal to the judgment of a Commis
sion. composed of others than mem
bers of the Court from which the
“CASCARETS” MAKE
FEEL GREAT
Gently Cleanse Your Liver and
Sluggish Bowels While
You Sleep.
Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi
ness coated tongue, foul taste and
foul breath always trace them to
torpid liver, delayed fermenting
food in the bowels, or sour, gassy
stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged In the
intestines instead of being cast
out of the system is reabsorbed
into the blood. When this poison
reaches th«' delicate brain tissue it
causes congestion and that dull,
throbbing, sickening headache.
Salts, cathartic pills, oil and
purgative waters force a passage
way for a day or two—yes—but
they don’t take the poisons out
and have no effect upon the liver
or stomach.
Cascarets immediately cleanse
and regulate the stomach, remove
the sour, undigested and ferment
ing food and foul gaeps. take the
excess biie from the liver and car
ry out of the system all the con
stipated waste matter and poisons
in the bowels.
A Cascaret to-night will surely
straighten you out b\ morning.
They work while you sleep—a 1 fl
ee nt box from your druggist means
your head clear, stomach sweet,
and your liver and bowels clean
and regular for months.
« ase shall * on»e. this power to appl>
in all cases except those affecting
doctrine and those shall be tried by
lhe Court Itself
The other proposed change is with
reference to the basis of representa
tion in the General Assembly. The
basis of representation at present i*
one minister and one ruling eldei
from everv Presbytery except in those
Presbyteries where theie are more
than twenty-five ministers and In
those the representation In the Gen -
era! Assembly shall be two ministers
and two ruling elders, but no addi
tional number of churches Increases
til** representation.
Plan Graduated Scale.
The change proposed recommends
that every Presbytery shall be rep
resented In the General Assembly bj
one minister and one ruling elder
and that If the communicants of the
churche* in the Presbytery and min
isters on the roll number more than
four thousand, the Presbytery Shall
be entitled ip increase its represen
tation to the Assembly with one min
later and one ruling elder and that
the representation ,contlnue to In
crease In like proportion with the ad
dition of every four thousand com
municants and ministers.
During the year 1 since the Bristol
Assembly the Presbyteries have tak
en action with regard to the proposed
changes in the form of government:
the answers of the eighty-nine Pre*
byteries will be tabulated during the
Atlanta Assembly and if three-
fourths of the answers favor the pro
posed changes, the changes will be
come law, by the enactment of the
Assembly.
The ad Interim committee appoint
ed by the Bristol Assembly to pre
pare a brief popular statement of the
doctrine* taught b.\ the Southern
Presbyterian Church Is composed of
fifteen representative men from all
sections of the church, with Rev. R
A. Webb. D. D., of the Kentucky
Presbyterian Theological Seminary', at
Louisville, ns chairman. This com
mittee may be able to submit its re
port to the Atlanta Assembly, but
it .will not be oause for surprise If
longer time is requested to complete
this important work
The prnparation of this brief pop
ular statement has been requested for
use especially as a tract in mission
territory n* well as In other sections
of the church; this statement will in
no way displace the standards of the
church, but will express the same in
r simplified form nnd one that will
be easy to handle, especially in mis
sion territory of the church.
Plan Lay Training School.
A committee appointed by the Bris
tol Assembly to prepare a general
plan and the curriculum in outline
for a iraining school for lay work
ers will report. This committee
consists of two members of each of
the four Executive Committees of
the church. The propositions as to
the location of this training school
have been presented to this commit
tee and this fact adds to the inter
est of the report and Richmond is
among the cities from which propo
sitional for the school have been re
ceived.
No popular meeting to be bold dur
ing the General Assembly will be
characterized with more rejoicing and
thanksgiving Ilian those in the in
terest of Foreign Missions and Horn*
Missions. Aside from the fact that
tho Southern Presbyterian Church
has paid this year the “missionary
debt” of more than one hundred thou
sand dollars and has In the foreign
mission treasury 14,200 with which
to begin the work of the new fiscal
year, facts will be presented to the
General Assembly showing that the
contributions to Home Missions also
have made the largest Increase, ever
made in one year in the history of
the church.
It will he shown the. the church
has given to Home Missions this
year S154.210.77. which is an increase
of *28.423 60 over the receipts of last
year The facts regarding the In
crease In interest and contributions
for Foreign Missions and Home Mis
Fiona will cause the Atlanta Assem
bly to be characterized with the mil
sionary note to a greater degree than
lias been true as yet of any Assem
bly in the history of the church.

White City Park Now Open
Street Committee Joins in Fight
for $30,000 Appropriation
to Regrade Street.
Council's Streets Committee lm
joined in the fight for a $30,000 ap
propriation for tin* Whitehall Street
regrading. The County Commit*-.on
ers have agreed to do t)>< work with
convicts and the property owners
have subscribed $17,000 toward it. If
Council’s Finance Committee can be
persuaded to give $30,000 the im
provement will he assured: and
leaders in the movement declare then
is no doubt the Finance Committee
will respond.
The Streets Committee. Friday, by a
vote of eight to one, approved th»
plan of regrading from a point be
tween Mitchell Street and Trinity
Avenue to Forsyth Street, pr-'sented
by Chief of Construction ('layton.
Several more conseiy alive regrading
plans were submitted but only Coun
cilman Jesse M Wood opposed the
original program. Councilman Wood
urged that final action be delayed
until all tlie property owners agreed
on the Improvement to be made.
A number of enthusiastic boosters
appeared before the committee, amoiu
them being Robert R..otis, George II
Boynton. .1. Carroll Payne, M. L.
Thrower. R A Broyles. V H. Krc
shaber. L. C. Green. Walker Dunson.
C. K. Caverly. Charles H. Black. J
R. Smith and others. They declared
that the work must be begun by Oc
tober t. as the convicte had been
promised and a temporary doin',
might mean a postponement of m i I
years.
The principal opposition to the im
provement was expressed by Judge
John 'J'. Pendleton. . wner of the Cap
ita! City Laundry building, and At
torneys FI. C. Mover and 1 /. Ros
ser. Judge Pendleton said ttie re
grading would greatly damage his
and adjoining property. Attornev
Meyer pointed out that with the im
provement all the intersecting streets
must be regraded. Attorney Rosser
said a number of persons would be
damaged unnecessarily.
Answers to they-* arguments were
that the increase in property values
would far offset any damage*-.

The testimony of Monteen Stover
was obtained by detectives when they
quizzed her the Saturday following
the killing of Mary Phagan. The g’rl
and her mother, Mrs. Homer Ed
mondson, of 171 South Forsyth Street,
came to the factory to get the pay
which the girl did not get the week
before.
Stopped by Detectives.
In the office were detectives, eager
to seize every available bit of infor
mation. They stopped Mrs. Edmond
son and the girl, and were rewarded
by Monteen’s statement that, she had
been in F’rank’s office on the after
noon of the fatal day.
Monteen Stover said she did not
know Mary Phagan. and probably had
never seen her. She commended
Frank as being popular with his em
ployees and kind.
Another development within the
last 24 hours has been the elimina
tion of another clew. The "woman in
red," a mysterious figure reported to
have been seen with Mary Phagan at
the pencil factory, has been located.
She is Mrs. Nancy Caldwell, of 10
Gray Street, an acquaintance of the
dead girl. Examination revealed the
fact, however, that she had not been
with Mary Phagan in a year. The
rumor of her association with the
Phagan girl on the afternoon of
killing started in the mistaken stave-
ment of a girl so Mapleton.

KEEP THE BALANCE UP.
It lias been truthfully said that anv
disturbance of the even balance of
health causes serious trouble. No
body can be too careful to keep this
balance up. When people begin to
lose appetite, or to get tired easily,
the least Imprudence brings on sick
ness, weakness or debility. The sys
tem needs a tonic, craves it, and
should not be denied it: and the best
tonic of which we have any knowl
edge is Hood's Sarsapar.lla. Wha*
this medicine has done in keeping
healthy people healthy, in keeping up
the even balance of health, gives it
the same distinction as a preventive
that it enjoys as a cure. Its early
use has illustrated the wisdom of the
old saving that a stitch in time saves
nine. Take Hood's for appetite
strength and endurance.
