CONSOLIDATION OF
COLLEGES OPPOSED
Union of Danville and Louis
ville Seminaries,
A MAJORITY AGAINST IT
Declare Organic Union With North
ern Church Follows.
FINAL ACTION TO BE TAKEN TODAY
The Southern Assembly Declin s an Invitation
From a Camp of United Confederate
Veterans to Attend Confederate
Decoration Exercises.
(By the Associated Press.)
Little Rock, Ark., May 21.—1 n the
Southern Presbyterian General Assembly
today there was much oratory on the
question of consolidating the Louisville
Theological Seminary, Southern, and the
Danville Theological Seminary, Northern.
Opponents of consolidation maintained
that it was either a movement into the
Northern church or would cause friction.
Advocates of consolidation argued that
the two churches were under the same
standards.
Final action was not taken today, the
matter going over tin 10 o’clock tomorrow
morning. A majority report adverse to
consolidation was presented by Rev. S. E.
Morris, of Macon, Ga., and the contrary
minority report was submitted by Col
onel Thomas W. Bullitt, of Louisville, Ky.
The majority contended that the basis
upon which it was proposed to unite the
two seminaries naturally and logically
leads to organic union between the North
ern and Southern church, and that it
would exclude the teaching of the South
ern Church’s distinctive principles.
At the morning session a motion to ac
cept the invitation of Omer R. Weaver
Camp, United Confederate Veterans, to
attend Confederate decoration exercises
Thursday brought forth a storm of oppo
sition on the ground that the position of
the church for forty years had been to
refrain from eo-mingling church and po
litical affairs. The motion was finally
amended so as to express sympathy with
the occasion and to regret that lack of
time precluded attendance by the commis
sioners at the exercises. In this shape
the motion prevailed. The Committee on
Christian Education recommended that
Rev. R. C. Reed, of Columbia, S. C., be
made chairman of the Committee on the
Twentieth Century Fund and the recom
mendation was ratified by the assembly.
THE CUMBERLAND ASSEMBLY.
West Point, Miss., May 21.—1 n the
Cumberland Presbyterian General As
sembly today the Committee on Over
tures proposed the appointment of a
practically new board of managers, and
gave the board liberty to locate the
Cumberland Presbyterian Orphans Home
and Industrial school at pleasure, but
urging the early location.
The immediate employment of a gen
eral Sunday school Superintendent was
advised, the church being asked for
$5,000 to meei all the expenses of the
Sunday school bard. The Sunday school
committee’s report is full of aggressive
suggestions, this department of the
church’s work being in a condition most
encouraging.
This afternoon the marriage and divorce
question raised on Saturday was settled
by striking out the requirement that min
isters officiating in the marriage of un
scripturally divorced persons together
with the parties themselves be disciplined.
THE NORTHERN ASSEMBLY.
Philadelphia, May 21.—The commis
sioners to the Presbyterian General As
sembly today gave vent to a spontaneous
burst of patriotic enthusiasm which found
voice in the hearty rendition of a nation
al anthem. It was a fitting conclusion to
a masterly address delivered by Rev. Dr.
Charles O. Thompson, Secretary of tbe
Home Mission Board. The report of the
Committee on Home Missions had been
read and Dr. Thompson arose to make the
usual appeal for aid which developed into
an oration and aroused the assembly to
the highest pitch of enthusiasm.
The report urged Congress to act on the
anti-polygamy amendment to the Con
stitution before the Mormons secure the
balance of political power in any addi
tional States.

jury which has been investigating the
murder of James Seymour Ayres, Jr., the
young Census Office clerk at the Hotel

brought in the following verdict:
“James Seymour Ayres came to his
death Wdnesday, May 15th, 1901. about
the hour of 2 o'clock a. m., at the Hotel
Kenmore from a pistol wound of the
chest. Furthermore that said shot was
fired during a fatal conflict between said

Hemey Bonine. We, the coroner’s jury,
bold Lola Ida Hemey Bonine for the
grand jury.**
The typewritten copy of her confession
was taken to Mrs. Bonine today for the
purpose of having her swear to it, as she
was not under oath when she made the
statement yesterday. Mrs. Bonine, after
making the confession, had consulted a
lawyer and he had advised her to avoid
anything in the nature of assisting the
prosecution. When the confession was
presented to her today she positively re
fused to make the desired affidavit.
After the coroner's jury had rendered
the verdict Mrs. Bonine was removed to
the city jail.
John M. Ferguson, of North Carolina,
candidate for admission to the Annapolis
Naval Academy, has passed a successful
examination.
A LOCKOUT AT DUNKIRK
Stevenson Turns Off AIL Machinists Becanse
700 Et. ike.
(By the Associated Press.)
Dunkirk, N. Y., May 21.—Because 700
machinists employed at the Brooks Loco
motive Works struck today for a nine hour
day and 12% per cent increase in pay,
President Frederick H. Stevens, directed
Superintendent McNaughton to issue an
order closing the works until further no
tice. This throws 2,000 men out of work.
The Brooks Company is one of the firms
included In the American Locomotive
Company and it is impossible to say how
long the lock-out will last. The Locomo
tive Works is the principal industry of the
town and the shut down will be a serious
loss to the community.

McAden Explains His Cotton
Selling Scheme.
The Business of Financing His Commission
Company Satisfactorily Arranged at
Charlotte Yesterday.
(By the Associated Press.)
Charlotte, N. C., May 21.—Dr. John H.
McAden, President of the Cotton Manu
facturers Commission of this city, re
cently organized, says that the contracts
for the financing of his company have
been drawn up and signed. Speaking of
the details of the scheme, he says:
The Manufacturers Commercial Com
pany yrtll cpsh all sales that come
through our company. Our New York
company is backed by two New York
trust companies and a capital amounting
to ten million dollars. To illustrate our
operation: A mill man here will sell his
yarns to a party in New York or Phila
delphia. He will send one bill of goods
to the purchaser And a duplicate bill of
lading will be given to us. We endorse
it; send to the Manufacturers Commer
cial Company and it will cash the sale
on the day the invoice is received. In
other words we will do a spot cash busi
ness and the money resulting from the
sale will be placed to the credit of the
seller either in Nojy York or in any local
bank.
“Under our system he will have the ad
vantage of knowing to whom he sells and
the price actualy received for his goods.
All speculation will be necessarily elimi
nated. Under the present system as we
sell to Northern commission men, we
never know to whom our production goes,
or what it sells at; and we know now
that there is much speculation and that
we are hurt by it.
“The commission men charge five and
5 2-3 per cent for commission. We will
never charge over four per cent.”
The business was adjusted today by
George D. Mumford, of New York, at
torney for the Manufacturers Commer
cial Company and Burwell, Walker and
Canster for the home company.

Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure
Digests what you eat.
There is no pleasure in life if you
dread going to the table to eat and if
you can’t rest well at night on account
of indigestion. Yet many people are
living just such lives, and after trying
almost everything they give up hope
and endure their sufferings as bravely
as possible. We would like to recom
mend to everyone the preparation
which has acquired such a wonderful
reputation for the cure of indigestion.
We refer to Kodol Dyspepsia Curt
It can’t help but '
do you good
It is the only preparation that
completely digests whatever variety
cf foods you may wish to eat. That
is why it is so highly endorsed by all
who have used it.
Rev. W. E. Sitzer, W. Caton. N. Y.,
writes, “I had dyspepsia over twenty
years, and tried doctors and medicines
without benefit. I was persuaded to
use Kodol Dyspepsia Cure and it
helped me from the start. I believe it
to be a panacea for indigestion.”

Negro Bully Comes to Grief.
(Special to News and Observer.)
Reidsville, N. C., May 21.—Mr. George
T. Ri\es and Colonel Will ’G. Beach
revenue officers, learned that an illicit
distillery was being operated about six
miles north of this place, and they, with
Revenue Agent E. C. Dorr, left in a
buggy in search of the law breakeis.
The still was located in a hollow in th?
woods three and a half miles from
Ruffin. It was in full blast and the op
erators were taken by surprise and all
captured. ’They were Henry Stacov,
Felix Hubbard and his two sons. Wil
liam and Sam. An eighty gallon cop
per still with the cap and worm were
broken up and twenty gallons of liquor
were emptied into a nearby creek. The
prisoners will be tried at the next
session of the United States court.
Mayor Watt announces that it is his
intention of beginning Monday morning
to compel each of his officers to make
affidavits that they have discharged
their duties in trying to locate and ap
prehend gamblers. This course will re
followed as long as the present law re
mains in effect.
Jake Pinnix, a negro bully, hailing
from Burlington, has been exhibiting
himself here as a brave coon. Saturday
he attempted to steal a ride on a South
ern passenger train, and because he
was put off he began throwing stones
at the passengers. Policeman Joyce
was standing nearby and arrested Pin
nix and placed him in the city jail.
Sunday morning the prisoner, wishing
to locate elsewhere, secured a stick, and
taking down a bunch of keys which
were hanging out in the hall, he un
locked his cell door and was about to
escape through a hole he had made in
the hall when two members of the po
lice force came on the scene. He was
then placed in shackles. At the prelim
inary hearing yesterday Pinnix was
bound over to the next term of the Su
perior court.
