General Assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United j Statf s has come to Charlotte, oer- i formed its work and been dissolved by the moderator. A wonderful gathering it has been, not so much on account of the importance of the actual work transacted but owing to the unusually large number of the leaders of the church enrolled as commissioners and the learned and eshaustive addresses that have been delivered in celebration of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the completion of the Westminister Standards, adopted by that church.

Most of the Overtures Related to ninor Affairs of the Churches. -The Frederlckburg, Va., Home and School. The Friday seeaion of tLe Gen- eral Assembly was opened with the exercises, at the usual devotional close of which the report of the committee on bills and overtures was called from the docket. The first overture considered was from the Presbytery of Dallas, ask ing that the action of the assembly in Memphis last year in declaring that one elder did not constitute a session in churches where he was the only officer. The committee rec ommended that this be answered by referring to the church book of or der, and that one elder did consti tute a session under these circum stances and was competent to do the work of a session: Rev. Dr. RR. Smoot moved as an amendnru.ho add "except in ju dicial cases." The answer as amended was then adopted. The Presbytery of Abingdon asked if a church organized by an evange list or a commission, but having no elder, could be enrolled. The committee answered this in the affirmative. Rev Dr. P. H. Gwinn differed with the committee and argued from the book of church order that these things were necessary. The members of the church to be organized must secure their letters from other churches or be received on confession of faith, they must covenant to walk together and then elect a rul ing elder. This substitute was lo3t and the answer of tbe committee adopted. 1 he Presbytery of Mississippi asked that a deliverance be made setting forth the powers of a com mission. The answer of the com mittee that the book of the church order was explicit enough on .this tforv- nai uie commission could i only transact the business for which it was appointed, was adopted. The overture of the Presbytery of New Orleans asking for a change in book of order concerning appellate courts was recommended to be sent down to the Presbyteries for action. rhis was adopted. East Hanover Presbytery wanted an interpretation of the word officer as used in a section of the book. The committee answered that it re ferred in that particular section t elders and deacons only. This occasioned quite a little dis cussion, Dr. R. K. Smoot and Rev. Dr. A. W. Milster arguing that it also included ministers. Dr. Milster offered an amendment to this effect which was adopted. The same Presbytery also asked conserning the dismisaion of a minister, residing in its bounds, to another Presbytery in which his work was. The answer of the committee that this should be left to the dis cretion of the Presbytery and decid ed on it own merits was adopted. The Presbytery of East Texas overtured concerning the disciplin ing of members wilfully absenting themselves from the services of the church, asking if "because they were not in accord with the minister or members was an excuse." The latter part of this was anawerod in the negative and also that wilful ab sence from the Lord's table was al ways an offense. Rev. W. S. Reed, of Houston, Texas, asked for a deliverance setting forth the meaning of the word "in spiration' as used in the standards. The answer adopted was that the confession of faith was sufficiently explicit. In answer to an overture from the Synod of Georgia, West Point church was transferred from the Presbytery of Atlanta to that of South Alabama, and the boundary lines of the two Synods changed to correspond. me assembly answered an over ture from Indian Presbytery that the licensing of t ruling elder did not debar him from the exercise of his powers as an elder. The answer" of the committee to the overture from ' the Synod of Memphis, disapproving the furnish ing of notes and items to Sunday papers, was adopted. The Presbytery of Lexington over tured the assembly concerning the publication of addresses delivered on the 250th celebration of the Westminster Standards. After some discussion the answer of the committee referring this mat ter to a committtee of three was adopted. The moderator appointed on that committee Rev. Drs. F. R. Beattie and O. R. Hemphill and elder H. B. Escott. assembly's home and school. The remainder of the morning business feession was the considera tion of the report of the standing committee on the assembly's home and school at Fredericksburg, and the substitute offered yesterday by Rev. Dr. M. D. Hoge. Rev. R. O. Reed stated the sub stance of the report of the commit tee and recited the condition of the school and its relation to the assem bly. - Rev. Dr. Saunders was . given the privilege of the floor and argued in opposition to this report . He did not dispute the facta which led the committee to make the recommenda tion to discontinue the school but did not consider the inferences drawn from these as being correct He asked that this be continued another year. Also, if assembly de- t-iucu wj umlb some action, to ap point an au interim committee to confer with the officers of that insti tution. ' r-- ALUMNAE DAY.

South Carolina College Boys Attack Companies During Inspection. The Columbia papers Saturday give an extended account of a conflict that took place on Friday afternoon between the students of the South Carolina College and two military companies commanded by Inspector General Watts. The affair took place on the college grounds. As the result of the combat a student by the name of McCall has a frac tured skull, Prof. Davis of the Col lege sustained painful injuries about the head and policeman Dowie re ceived several cuts and bruises on the head. The fight was precipitated by the military using the college boy"s base ball diamond for inspection grounds. Prof. Woodrow of the college gave the militia permission to use certain portions of th- grounds but gave di rections that they eh- uld not use the diamond. It seems that Inspector Watts did not observe his orders and this caused the conflict GASTONIA'S NEW POSTMASTER. L. L. Jenkins Mere today The Situa tion Regarding the Charlotte Office. Mr. L. L.

Washington, D. C April 9. Congressman Peter J. Otey hes dis tinguished himself by active and honorable service in the house of representatives, where he was sent from the Sixth district of Virginia.

Every one has spoken of the milked change for the better in his appear ance, liespectfully, Mrs. Mai lie Floyd Otey. This is one of some 15 or 20 letters from United States congressman or members of their families, that have recently appeared in the newspapers here, heartily recommending Paine's celery compound. One of the most eminent physi cians in the city, beinsr interviewed by one of the papers, says: ".raine s celery compound marks a tremendous stride in the cure of diseases.
