Felton, of Georgia, author, lee- turer and widow of a former Derijo- cratic t’ongrps.snian, is here to pro test against the enactment of the Un derwood tariff hill, if givam an op portunity. Mrs. Felton will appear be fore a sub-committee of the Senate Finance Committee in charge of the cotton schedule of the Underwood measure. “I do not want to intrude,” said Mrs. Felton, “hut if given an oppor- . tunity 1 would like to tell how this hill will hurt the South and the State. I am against my Democratic people, so far as the cotton schedule of the proposed tariff law is concerned, and there are other schedules subject to criticism "The cotton mills have been a God send to the South, almost from the reconstruction days. They have given employment to thousands of our peo ple. I have lived among them, have seen the operatives at work, have known of their past and present con ditions. and I am not speaking from hearsay. I am 78 years of age. my husband was a former member of the Ways and Means Committee, and all my life I have been in touch with public and political affairs. My hon est judgment is that the proposed tar iff bill is going to bring injury to the South. If I am afforded a chance. 1 would like to tell the Senate’s com mittee how we feel about the cotton Industry. “The cotton manufacturers all through the South, in the Carolina. 1 ! and in Georgia, are in a pessimistic frame of mind. They met recently at Columbus and denounced the Under wood rates. “My prediction is that x his bill wil\ first result in the curtailment of ad ditional investments by capitalists Then our Southern cottcn mills will begin to run oli ‘part time.’ “I am opposed to child labor in the obnoxious sense of the word,” contin ued Mrs. Felton, “hut there are many children in our Southern mills who are better situated and better cared for to-day than if they were running the streets or out on the farm, min gling with bad companions.” Lodge Members Help Rebuild Burned Home Twenty-Five Men Donate Services and Put Up House in Three Weeks. DENVER, May 21.—Oscar C. Herd- ner, whose house was burned three weeks ago, was able to move into its successor as the result of the efforts of the members of Pine Camp. 8063, Modern Woodmen of America.

Accordingly. 25 workmen .assembled, among them carpenters, masons, bricklayers, plasterers and painters. They labored steadily, putting to gether the lumber and brick which Herdner had assembled, and at night fall a six-room dwelling, complete in every detail, stood where there was only a foundation and the ashes of Herdner’s former home.

PAUL, May 3 —That the mys terious “Richard Doe,” who for nearly four years has been in the Hospital for the Insane at Rochester, Minn., unable to tell his name or identity, is an intelligent man, is the statement of J. C. Swendsen and Ralph Wheel- ock, members of the State Board of Control, who returned from Roches ter to-day. , Roe's case is to he taken up with the Navy Department in an attempt to discover the man’s identity. “I asked the man to write his name,’ said Mr. Swendsen. “and he put down the Initials J. C. B. He also was abl 2 to write the date he left San tran- eisco. May 27, 1907, to return to his position in the navy at Annapolis. “Although partly paralyzed, he is able to walk about, and, despite his inabilitv to speak or express himself, he seems to be rational in every way and looks like an intelligent man." The State has interested itself also in the attempt to identify the man. HUSBAND FORCED WIFE TO WALK IN STOCKING FEET BOSTON, May 21.—“My husband was so irritable that he made his moth*r-in-law and myself take off o,.r shoes and walk about the house in our stockings when he was reading the paper." said Mrs. Alice M. Pike, of Cambridge, in the Superior Court, where her former husband, l-rank Pike was trving to have her divorce decree modified so that he might have the custody of their eleven-year-old son, Theodore. Mrs. Pike secured her divorce on the ground of confirmed habits of intoxication. Mr Pike testified that although his wife had divorced him on the ground of intoxication, he had never been drunk in his life. fully developed child born. WEIGHS 7 1-4 OUNCES MATTOON, ILL , May 21.—A baby, fully developed and weighing only 7 1-4 ounces, was bom on Sunday to Mr and Mrs. H. Russell The child was one of twins. The other one died. This child is said by physicians to be the smallest fully developed child that ever lived after birth. ATLANTA PHYSICIANS FEAR MACON DANKER IS DOOMED TO DEATH Atlanta physicians believe, from HUch information as they have read in the newspapers, that B. Sanders Walker, of Macon, will die. The almost unparalleled “nerve” of the man who took a bichloride of mercury tablet, mistaking it for a headache remedy, is all that has kept him alive the last week, but this will not suffice, to restore him to health. Macon physicians who treated Mr. Walker are highly praised by Atlanta members of the fraternity, who think it presumptuous to say what should or should not have been done and de cline to express an opinion on the outcome of the case except with the qualification that they are not famil iar with all the facts. Transplanting Is Opposed. Even should Walker recover, which the Atlanta physicians proclaim un reasonable, his blood and nerves might suffer from toxic poison and his lower limbs would probably be paralyzed. Dr. J. G. Earnest, an expert on kid neys, would oppose transplanting of a new kidney if Walker has one good kidney left. He said Walker could live with one healthy kidney, whereas transplanting would entail untold risks. He said: # “Lnless Mr. Walker’s remaining kidney is diseased, I should not at tempt to transplant another one un der any circumstances. It is better to let him alone. “To transplant a kidney from a healthy, living dog to another is a very different thing from taking a kidney from a man who has just died and transplanting it. When you take a kidney from a man who has just died you don’t know what you are getting. Can Live With One Kidney. “If only one of Mr. Walker’s kid neys is destroyed and he has a healthy kidney left, he can live with out the other one. I know’ this is true because we frequently take out one kidney. Dr. W. B. Summerall, who. as su perintendent of the Grady Hospital, perhaps has had more experience w ith bichloride of mercury in the human system than any other Atlanta physi cian, discussed the Walked case with great reserve. He prefaced his re marks with the statement that he had the utmost confidence in Mr. Walker's personal physicians and was answer ing questions only from a hypothetical standpoint. “All prognocis would be merely the expression of an individual opinion,” said Dr. Summerall. “I can only say that if one of Mr. Walker’s kidneys recovers its full normal functions per manently, it is possible for him to live. Still, his chances are almost nil. Admits Nerve Might Aid. “It seems unreasonable, when the poison has been systematically dis seminated, for one kidney to be so seriously affected as to be totally de stroyed and yet for the other to sur vive and attain its normal functions. Speaking from a hypothetical stand point only, I should say Mr. Walker’s condition is decidedly precarious.” “Will his tremendous vitality, his ‘nerve,’ work in his favor?” Dr. Sum merall was asked. “Such determination helps wonder fully,” was the reply. “It seems that such determination sometimes actual ly strengthens the nerve, cells them selves.” Dr. Summerall also pointed out that bichloride of mercury was a systemic poison, and that even if one of Walk er’s kidneys recovered its functions, uremic poisoning might aftefward set in or he might be paralyzed, or might die eventually from systemic poisoning. Thinks Death Is Certain. Dr. Louis (’. Rouglin said he be lieved Walker would die. but added that no Atlanta physician could make a positive statement upon this partic ular case, as it would require personal knowledge of the patient. “From what 1 have read,” he said, “the fact that Walker is still alive to day should be a great credit to his physicians, became ordinarily the man would have been dead.” Dr. Rouglin expressed great ad miration for Mr. Walker’s vitality and will power, but said now the poison had so acted that he w r as mostly In a comatose condition, where his won derful “nerve” could help him no longer. He emphasized that bichloride of mercury is a systemic poison, changing the blood and affecting the nerve3, and that even s-'hould Walker’s life be saved he would probably be paralyzed. Some of the poison undoubtedly was absorbed and had its deleterious sys temic effect, promising to finally nulli fy the operations of the kidney, the filter of the human body. Rich Planter, Ill, Commits Suicide MONTGOMERY, ALA., May 21.— Jolfn I. Forniss, a prominent and wealthy planter owning 12,000 acres of rich farming lands, most of it in Montgomery County, committed sui- (Ido in the hath mum of his suite at the Exchange Hotel here some time during last night, sending a bullet through his brain. The body was found in a pool of blood to-day when the hotel maid went in his room to serve him his usual morning cup of coffee.

Presbyterians Refuse Catholic Baptismal Baptism by a Catholic priest is invalid for a member of the Southern Presbyterian Church, and an appli cant who has been so baptized must go through the Presbyterian form of baptism before being recognized as a Presbyterian. This is the ruling made by the Gen eral Assembly in 1 884 and from which deliverance it has declined to res cind. Overture No. 26 from the Presbytery of Upper Missouri re quests that the deliverance be re scinded and that such an applicant i u be required to be baptized. The committee on overtures recom mended that the overture be answered in the negative, which recommenda tion was adopted by the General As sembly. * CHAMBERLIN - JOHNSON - DuBOSE CO.

Chamberlin=Johnson=DuBose Company Tense Situation Relieved By Tabling Heresy Charge The Union Theological Seminary controversy out of the way until next year, the Northern Presbyterian As sembly returned to its regular order of business Wednesday morning. The action of thp Assembly late Tuesday afternoon furnished one of the greatest surprises of the entire meeting From the attitude of the commissioners when Dr. Howard Ag- new Johnston, of Stamford, Conn., had made an unsuccessful motion to lay the whole matter on the table, it was hardly to be expected that the motion of Dr. Mark A. Matthews, retiring moderator, would meet with any bet ter fate. Dr. Matthews’ motion was that a committee of seven be appointed by the moderator and that the three re ports on Union Seminary be referred to them. The new committee is to in vestigate thoroughly the legal and doctrinal relations between the Pres byterian Church and the seminary and report at the next General Assembly. A tense situation was relieved. The commissioners evidently were grateful that they were able to avoid the issue for another year. The great Audito rium rang with the strains of “Praise God. From Whom All Blessings Flow.” Much Bitterness Avoided. The speeches had been growing in bitterness. What the outcome would have been without the happy motion of Dr. Matthews is impossible to guess. The general opinion is that the debate would have lasted the greater part of the week if it had been permitted to continue. The As sembly appeared to favor one or the other of thr minority reports. The sentiment against Union Seminary was unmistakable. Dr. William McKibbin, president of Lane Theological Seminary, of Cin cinnati, was the first speaker In the debate. He advocated the adoption of the second minority report, .signed by Dr. F. C. Monfort. ’’All of the reports agree.” he said, “that if there is to’be a reunion of the church and the seminary, the church must go to the seminary. Oth erwise the renewal of relations will be Impossible. But if we go we must break with the Church of Christ. “Every resolution of the second minority report is practically a re flection of the orthodoxy of the Pres byterian Church- These beliefs should be held sacred unto God. “The founders of this institution and the donors who have made Its existence possible have done all in their power to tie it to the doctrines of the Presbyterian Church. In the constitution It was laid down that these doctrines should be taught for ever and that every professor should from time to tijne be required form ally to renew his allegiance with these principles. “Yet these laws have been abro gated. Doctrines are taught that are not in consonance with the old faith of the church. Professors are In the faculty who could not affirm their allegiance to the Westminster Con fession of Faith. Many believe that this institution is undermining the faith of those who enter its doors. I believe we should settle thin matter now. I believe the commissioners should vote for the adoption of the second minority report” Attorney Defends Seminary. Henry K. Jessup, a New York at torney and a commissioner to the Assembly, ridiculed the attempt of several of the ministers to discuss the legal points involved In the contro versy. He said that the ofily opinion that possibly could be held by anyone with any brains was that the agre.* ment of 1870 between the seminary and the church was illegal, and that the seminary did the only thing possi ble in rescinding it. Mr. Jessup created something of a stir when he accused Dr. Monfort of omitting some of the essential facts of the controversy in making up his second minority report. He said that this had been done either Intentionally or unintentionally, and that It amounted to a misrepresenta tion, as the Influencing factors had been concealed. Dr. Wilton Merle Smith, a director in the seminary for 23 years, came w’nrmly to its defense. He regretted that stories ha*l been spread abroad about the unorthodoxy of four of the recent graduates of the seminary, of whom Tertlus VanDyk^, son of Dr. Henry VanDkye, was one. “These stories were untrue,” he declared. “The boys were asked after their examination. 'Why did you deny the virgin birth?’ 'We didn't,’ they replied. ’We only said that we hadn’t studied the matter sufficiently and were not in a position to make a pos itive statement of our belief.’ ’’ This explanation created a laugh from the commissioners, it evidently striking them as humorous that a student after spending all the years of his seminary course in studying just such questions as these should say In his examination that he had not had the time to study the subject of the virgin birth. Rival Sunday Schools Use Newspaper Space Automobile Rides to Church Offered by.Church in Paid Adver- ment. SEDA LI A.
