Synod's Last Day. The last day of the. session of the Synod Is always a very busy day, on account of the large amount of work ,to be disposed of that cannot be han dled except during the closing Hours. Today was no exception and one re port after another was adopted In- rap id succession. An incident that was especially Interesting and impressive took place this morning in connection ,wkh the election of the chairmen ot the permanent committees. After these chairmen had been nominated . and elected, the name of Rev.s William lilack, Synod's evangelist, and that of Rev. D. I. Craig, stated clerk, were proposed for re-election. A motion was made and adopted that these two men who have served Synod so long and so efficiently in tneir respective offices, be re-elected wSth a rising vote It is safe to say that no members of . Synod are more universally loved than are; Dr. Craig and .Mr. Black ana ,nohe are rendering a (larger service " to the church. The report of the com mittee on Bills and Overtures .submit ted the following wnich was heartily adopted : ;. 1 '' .' . "We recommend this deliverance: "The Synod of North Carolina would .reiterate its testimony r against the raffle in intoxicating liquors as a 'fruitful source of abounding Iniquity and misery. , , ' , "2. Recognizing that the flooding of our State with intoxicating liquors from other commonwealths Is a fruit ful source of drunkenness and-misery, we would urge our people to use all maans which may be approved by their Christian coil science and Judg ment, to remedy this evil. . "3. In view 'of the lax enforcement of some of the laws of the State and a widespread failure to recognize the binding obligation and sanctity of the oath, we earnestly urge the fundamen tal importance at obedience to ' law and call for a deeper realization of the binding force of' the oath, whether of oftice or court. v "4. Synod has heard with pleasure and profit the able address of Rev. R L. Davis, superintendent of the Nortn Carolina Anti-Saloon League and as sures him of its deep Interest and sym pathy in every effort looking toward , temperance, sobriety ana taw ooserv- ance." The session today began promptly at 9 o clock and Rev. Chas. E. Ray nal conducted the devotional services. ihe minutes of yesterday were read and approved. Dr. D. I. Craig read the report of Synod to the General Assembly and this report was adopted ihe report on State of 'the Church was read by Mr. George W. Watts and it was characterized with facts so full of interest and Information to the church that it was adoDted with the recommendation that the report oe 'printed in a form suitable for dis tribution to the churches throughout ;tne bounds of Synod. Among other things this report ex pressed . the belief that at the present time there is awakening among peo ple on the subject of church going.

APPEARS FoFilE SHIPPERS Declares Freight Rates Should Not be Advanced More Risk to Start Bank Than to Build a Railroad v , He Asserts. Chicago, Oct. 28. Presentation of evidence by the shippers, who are op- (posing the proposed advance in freight rates, was concluded today before the Inter-State., . Commerce Commission with the testimony of Governor W. R. Stubbs,- of Kansas, who in character istic maner declared his opposition to an v, increase in rates and iis belief as a practical builder of railroads that valuations have been placed at too high a point. ! - "I'll put up a million dollar bond," said the Governor "tnat I . can con struct a. main line railroad in Kansas, an up-to-date line too, for $25,000 a mile and make ten per cent profit." The lowest estimate of railroad building 'offered by the railways more than doubled' the governor's estimate. Governor -Stubbs was the principal witness introduced by the shippers. .Governor Stubbs time after time jumped; from the role of witnesB to that of cross-questioner and repeated ly, turned on the Railroad attorney with "now I want toask you a ques tion." . . At one point in - the cross-examination by Attorney T. J. Norton, of the Sante Fe Railway, Governor Stubbs declared: , , ' - :- " v .'Now i let me tell you something. There fs not as much risk in building a railroad in a good territory as in etartmg (-a Danic . i don't. !wnic tne roads need profesrfonar Tights;, they ' , . . .- , ii. I vau uicuve muucjf aa uuejr niv uu lucjt should be run on the same business basis as 4 bank."' 'Mr. 'Norton asked the witness if. he knew , of the washout which put the Salt Lake road out of business for a hundred days. , i "Yes, 'I heard of it, was the Govern or's reply." 3 "I just called attention to it in con nection with your comparison with the risk of railroads and banks" said Mr. Norton - "Well let me give you some informa tion along that line about banks," in terjected Governor Stubbs. , I can tell you a story that will make your hair stand up." . " Mr. Norton disclaimed any desire to have his hair "stand" and Commis sioner Lane, the top of whose head is smooth, said "Suppose you tell me that story governor." The story was lost in the laugh which followed. "Don't you think, Governor," was another question, 'that the Sante Pe road is entitled to the increased value of its properties in Kansas?. You do not deny to the Kansas farmer the in crease in the value of his land.' ''Yes' qjuicWy. rdjoinetd Gevernor Stubbs, rising from his chair and em phasizing his words by pounding on the Judge's bench. "But that land is worth more because of the nonests la bor of the men, ; women and children on every quarter section of Kansas land and the stock values of the rail road holdings have been juggled'an l inflated and I don't know how much water there is in it." Governor Stubbs repeatedly refer red to the position taken by Presi dent Ripley, of the Sante Fe railway, that, the, market quotations of railroad stock was a fair criterion of the prop erty values. , "I think President Ripley is a migh ty flne fellow," said the governor 'but don't agree with him on that point. I want the railroads to grve to the Commission the actual cost of their roads and I want them to get affair return on their investment." Later Governor Stubbs again stood up, and, punctuating his words with blows on! the bench beside him, said: "The railroads ought to be allowed fTVMTi flv rvr six ner cent, on their ac tual investment and also layaside a nice surplus for emergency use.. 'But they ought not to invest that emergen cy surplu's from time to time in per manent improvements and then add it ,to the capltalizaion, Every business pnan ough to nave a surplus iw day and the raiiroaas snouiu nw.

' " " '':'''' ' :. ' A question about the automobiles in Kansas caused the governor to throw back his head and almost shout: ' "111 tell you . why there are a, lot of automobiles in Kansas. It is be cause we've got a prosperous, indus- 'frlftiia' nonnlo fprtlla fields and haVb lthe stuff to buy them in spite of -tV hish railroad rates." Continuinsr.

"If Mr. Taft continues to make as good a President as he is making now he will be the natural and inevitable candidate of his party in 1912 unless one thing hap pens that the people of the United States shall repudiate the administra tion of Mr. Taft by such a crushing and overwhelming defeat of his party that it will be apparent that Mr. Taft cannot be re-elected." This is the statement made tonight by United States Senator Elihu Root in a speech at Manhattan casino. Mr. Root addressed himself particularly to those Republicans who might stand willingly to vote against the Repub lican gubernatorial candidate for the sake of rebuking Theodorp Roosevelt, and he declared that Republican de feat in the State this Fall would be even more of a.blow to the present Na tional administration than to Colonel Roosevelt.1 In fact, "he said, a Demo cratic victory in New .York would more than lfkeiy turn the next National convention away from a National ad: ministration which could not hold its party together and toward Mr. Roose velt or "to one of the far more radi cal leaders, who .are now looming up on the political horizon in the north and middlewest." Contrary to come expectations, Sen ator Root brought no direct pledge from Colonel Roosevelt regarding his attifude toward the nomination In 1912. He ridiculed the issue of the "new nationalism" as interpreted by the Democratic platform, warmly praised Colonel. Roosevelt for his de feat of the "old guard"; attacked Tam many Hall and warned voters of the danger of putting the offices of State Comptroller and State Engineer in Tammany's power. He, commended Mr. Stimson's services .in " the. sugar prosecution and called attention to the fact that the (Standard Wall Pa per Company, of which Mr. Dix is a director, asked Congress to' raise the tariff on wall paper. . - "It Is said that to'' have Mr. Stim son Jn the governors caair wouw promote Mr. Roosevelt's political for tunes," said Senator. Root. "The peo ple who say this, he continued,' "do not mean what is undoubtedly true, that Mr. Stimson will be such a gov ernor as to reflect credit on every one who has supported him. In any other sense the proposition is based on an entire misunderstanding . of the man., He was selected as thercandi date because he had done some things in public office which show what kind of a' man he is and which ought to be a guaranty to the people of the State that he is the kind of man they need for Governor. . No man can use him and no man can make a stepping stone oi -urn.- . - v'The Idea that Mr. Roosevelt con templates an attack upon our judical system or that system Is iir danger from him or from any one else Is pure ly fanciful "and devised for campaign purposes ' only." ) -.',, Aviator's Flight to 8,751 Feet Featured Aviation Events Yesterday. FIRST ACCIDENT OF THE MEET Escaped Uninjured With Only Minor Damages to His Machine Ham ilton, Drexel and Brookins Chosen by Aero Club. New York, Oct. 28.

M The interest of the aviators was cen tered on the action of the Aero Club of America, which, after a midnight session, ( chose Hamilton, Drexel and Brookins early this morning, to defend -the Gorden-Bennett International speed trophy. Audemars, in a Demoi selle, suffered the first accident of the tournament today, but came off with no nun to ninnseir and only manor damages to his machine. . Just before the passenger-carrying cross-country, race was started at 4 o'clock this afternoon a mote in the paling sky, was seen far to the south east. It was Johnstone, re-appearing just where he had vanished in yester day's gale. He circled the field and settled in front of the judges' stand, while the crowd waved, cheered and stamped. .
