Southern Presbyterian Assembly. One of the big fights of the Southern Presbyterian. Assembly was inaugura ted Friday when the ad interim com mittee on marriage and divorce was called upon to report. So divergent were the views of its members that at tempts to procure a majority- report were abandoned. Dr. W. E.Boggs, Atlanta,J3a., the last moderator, and Dr. W. Joplin, Red Springs, N. C, submitted a re iport recommending radical changes in the confessionof faith. Dr. Russell Cecil, Richmond, Va., and Dr. R! II. Fleming recommended that no changes be made. .. . . Dr. Boggs, wanted to "debar poly gamists from baptism and the Lord's supper. Dr. Cecil was in favor of missionaries exercising discretion in extendinjr membershio to heathen olygamists, claiming that great . . . 7 0 . hardships would result from requir ing heathens to desert all but one wife and one family. Dr. Boggs opposed the Church's continuing -to allow "wilful deser tion" as a cause of divorce. He also recommended an amendment of the confession so as to allow the guilty party in adultery divorces upon fur nishing satisfactory evidence of re pentance to the Church, to remarry. He claimed there was nothing in the scriptures forbidding this. A Pressing Obligation. 'Tutting off advertising," says a- writer in Printers' Ink, "is putting off a debt that you owe to your busi ness. Every day the interest mounts. Every day, because of added compe tition, the debt becomes harder to meet." Many non-advertisers post pone the settlement of this obligation because they do not realize how easy l is to displiaro-ft if in smn.ll ihstnll- ments. The little "adv" in the daily newspaper leads hv frrflniml and con- venient stages to the half (page and the full page spread, paying its own was as it goes. The bis advertisers of today sang small at the beginning. ine success they have achieved is open to merchants of very moderate capital who back up brains and energy with regular advertising in The Trib une. - Tungsten Lights to be Put In.

CHANGING NAME OF CHURCH. j Methodist Episcopal Church in Amer ica was Chosen. The debates on the question of the change of the name of the church took up the greater part of both mornim? and afternoon sessions of the General Conference at Asheville Friday. Gray- nairea veterans pleaded that the name be kept as it is... Others thought that uame ne cnurcn tne Methodist Uhurch the college of bishops. At the after- non session the conference voted ... 10 cuange tne name to the Methodist Vnicsmr 1 T1 1- J? 1 1 awpai uuua-u x America ana re , quested the bishops, as it was a consti tutional question, to have the annual conferences vote on the question. Not until the next general conference can the name be legally changed if by a three-fourths votes of members of the annual conferences vote in favor of a change. It is being predicted that the church at large will not ac cept the change and equally confident are the delgates who favor the change that the conferences will support them. History of Phifer Family. Charlotte News. Mr. Geo. E. Wilson has . had pub lished a hisory of the Phifer family. The title is "Genealogy or History of the Phifer Family.' ' The preface says: "'This book, containing 4he geneal ogy of the Phifer family, was written many years ago by Mr. "Charles H. Phifer, late of Concord, N. C, .but was never published. In order to pre serve it, I caused a manuscript copy of it to be made and this book is published from that copy. Thinking that this genealogy and history is wor thy of being preserved for the benefit of the descendants of Martin Phifer, Sr., I have had the same published. "It is my desire to place a copy of the publication in the possession of the descendants of Martin Phifer, Sr., as a family history, in order that the ;enealogy and history of the, family may be preserved.

The much-heralded comet appeared in the western heavens about 8:10 o'clock Saturday night, and was plain ly visible for over an hour. The eomet, while not much bigger than a star could be distinguished from them by its broadened or hazy appearance. Thousands of people in Concord saw the comet, about which so much has been printed and all were disap pointed in it. "Is that thing the comet V and similar remarks were heard on every side. There was just enough of the comet visible to prove that the astronomers were right, and to convince those who had about come to the conclusion that the whole bus ness was a hoax. One of the peculiarities noted, as compared with the appearance of the visitor :u the western sky was the fan shape of the tail. In the east this was almost unnoticeable, but now it is much more striking.) The view of the taL Saturday night is said to have convinced the astron omers that it actually " passed the, earth. "It is a mistake,' 9 said a Washing ton ?strcnomer, "to suppose that the comet rises in the West. No heavenly body does that. As a matter of fact the comet is in the heavens a greater part of the day, but cannot be seen because of the sun. When the latter goes down it will be seen from now on, every night just after twilight, and each night it will be a little higher in the sky, until about Thursday it will be seen for about four hours."

Kot a fiajie eoatettaat vu turned atray empty landed, bit earh one wba had aided ia maovis iht trash from the various nook$ and "or ner in the city rra prweated a prize. Mr. M,B. Stickleycircalated a petition among the citizens asking for money to provide the little fellovi who were not winners of the other prizes with' a prize. Enough money was raised in thU way to give each contestant who was not a winner of a regular , prize a bag. of confection eries. Mryor C.f B. Wagoner presented eah of the prize winners with a prize, and congratulated the boys upon their success and thanked them in behalf of the city for the valuable service they had rendered. Much of the suc cess of the contest is due to the ef forts of Dr. R. M. King and Capt. Q. E. Smith, both of whom from the day the contest started nntil the close gave a large amount of their time and work in aiding the 003 who were hustling for the prizes. Their sys- em of checking the trash and credit ing it to each boy worked perfectly and there was not a hitch nor the lightest, confusion in properly credit ing the trash. There were 5S42 bar rels of trash removed this year againts 3000 last year. All the trash was hrown in the big fill iu the rear of he First Presbyterian church.

Judge Pell's Umbrella Stolen. During these days of frequent showers almost every fellow has been afforded the oportunity of "freezing onto7 a umbrella, but there is evi dently some umbrella thief in this county who isi neither a respecter of persons or places, from the fact that some one has gone into the court house of the county and taken there from an umbrella, the property of His HonrWudge Geo. P. Pell, who is now presiding at this term of court. We do not . know whether the deed was commited maliciously or wilfully or with malice aforethought, and as there are no legal luminaries around these sanctums to set us straight on this we will not consider any of the intents and purposes but pass them bv. The fact remains, however, that the umbrella is gone. The people of . . - , 1- ?.. A J this county are seriously oisappoiniea when we are forced to realize that there is one among us guilty of ap- oronriatinz the Judjre's umbrella. The citizens of Cabarrus nave De come so attached to Judge Pell that it 'is almost imposible to imagine one of onr citizens committing any act that would not tend to make his stav'with us more pleasant. So we have decided to enter the role of de tective, and our first act will be to make this as a. warning to the man who took the umbrella, and if he wil return it to the Judge at once all wil be well. After leading the Democratic hosts of Rowan to vistory for twenty-four vears as chairman of the Rowan coun tv executive committee Mr. A. H.

Many are of the opinion that he subject of ownership and the right of the General Conference to elect rusrees will not come up again. Notwithstanding the fact that the conference discusaed for nearlv an en tire afternoon the subject of changing he wording of the creed from the Holy Catholic Church to the Church of God, no action was taken on ac count of the fact that at thexlait moment of an afternoon eion the residing ofiieer, Bishop il. C. Mor rison, rulel that the paper was not Irawn up in projer lorm and for that reason could not be dicued. it is thought that one of the best iroviMon enacted at this esion wil he establishing of a court of p wals which will enable a minister under charges of his concrence 'to appeal his case and not caum him to wait until a se.ion of the oeneral Conference convenes. This court will lave full pov;er to either sutain the action of the annual conference or to reverse its findings, thus placing the man under charges, if acquitted, iri full possession again of all his prerog atives as a preacher. One of the most radical laws made was that requiring the bbbop to an nounce his appointments at an annual conference before his cabinet of pre siding elders before giving them ia open session of the conference. It is claimed this measure will protect lhev presiding bishop, the presiding elder and the preachers. Eight Thousand Sing on Capitol Plixx Saturday's Washington Herald. At the east front of the Capitol in the shadow of the great dome that has been the background for so many; historic scenes, more than 8,000 mea and women of the World's Sunday School Convention, raised their voice in, the lifting anthems and sonorous hymns of praise that are the march ing sons of Christianity the worldL over. From the massive gray columns at tire top of the central steps the crowd extended fan-shaped out to a hastily erected platform, and the plaza was black with people. Senators, Representatives, and men prominent in officialdom came froca. the. office buildings and committer rooms and joined in the huje service of praise. An Old Tax Return. Mr. R. L.
