money according to agreement; but he did not come, and Rev. Gilmer was appointed by the presiding elder to preach last night. What took place then, of course, you already know." Asked as to the grievance against Turner, the church member mentioned several alleged objections, and went on to say that "we don't like him anyway. He's one of these northern Negroes who does not suit our ideas. For instance, in a sermon, not long ago, he said that during all the time be had been down south he had never raised his hat to a white lady yet. The white men, he said, did not raise their hats to colored ladies, and until they did he was not going to raise his to white ladies. Now what kind of preaching is that?" The member went on to say that, so far, none of the various charges against the preacher had been reduced tr> writinc? hut he was sure that they could be proven. After hearing: one side of the case, the reporter, on yesterday, took a trip over in Liberia to get Rev. Turner's version of the matter. The preacher was found at the home of one of the members of his congregation. He had his books with him at the time, and was evidently engaged in explaining matters. Upon being told the object of the reporter's visit, he seemed glad of the opportunity to make a statement, and gave in his story as follows: "You want me to go hack to the first of it? Well, one Sunday, about four months ago, Thomas Johnson came to pay me money. Then he wrote a card to the presiding elder to come up not stating what he wanted. At the meeting, they spoke against me sayiug that I was not a fit person to be pastor of the church, and that the church could do no more good. They did not specify any charges. I denied that the church was going down, and said that, if upon examination of the books it was not found that there was more money in the treasury than there had been in 10 years, and that more members had not been received than during the first year of Rev. Ingraham's administration, I would resign as soon as they paid me what they owed me. They held that as a resignation and took a vote on it. But, understand, I did not mean it as a resignation except conditionally, and they could not take it that way, because, see here," and opening his book, at page 78, paragraph 101, the preacher read as follows : The appointment of a preacher by the bishop in charge shall be regarded as a settlement of his claim to and control of the pulpit of such church and the entire direction of its spiritual alfairs, with the exercise of all rights and prerogatives of his office for one conference year, commencing on the date of said appointment, and ending with the appointment of his successor, unless sooner changed by a bishop, or forfeited by the decision of a competent committee. "Now," continued Rev. Mr. Turner, producing another paper signed by the trustees of the church and notifying him mat nis puipit nan uettii uccmicu vuuiui, "they sent me this; but don't you see it ain't signed by the presiding elder ? But that don't make any difference, no way. The presiding elder has nothing to do with it?nobody but the bishop or a competent committee, and the trustees are not a competent committee. "Well, I continued to hold on to the pulpit until last Sunday morning, and when I went to the church I found that Nelson Davies had done took the Bible off the pulpit and had it under his arm. They were all around the pulpit to keep me from getting in. This same book says that if a pastor gives up his congregation without authority from the bishop, he will be excluded from the exercise of his office. So I determined not to give up my pulpit. They stood in my way, and then I commenced the service anyhow, and Nelson Davies waved his hands for the people to go out of the church. They all went out, and while I was preaching Nelson Davies stood out there and mocked me." Rev. Turner denied that the congregation had tendered him his past due salary of some fifty odd dollars. He also went on to say that when the rules for church government failed, there was no other recourse except to the law, and for this reason he had entered prosecution against Davies and others for disturbing a religious meeting. Turner is a rather heavy-set black Negro, apparently about 50 years of age. He uses fairly good English, and although it is easy to see that his feelings against his enemies are quite strong, during his talk with the reporter, at the expense of some eflort, he was able to exercise very good control of his tongue. The understanding is that when the case comes up before the magistrate, Rov. Turner will be represented by Major Hart, and the congregation by Mr. Finley. THE LEXINGTON MYSTERY. Sheritl' Logan returned home last Saturday from Tennessee. He had been out there for the purpose of investigating the Reese mystery at Lexington, and on his way back took in the Nashville exposi emu. It will be remembered that shortly after the escape of Reese and Luckie, the sheriff received a telegram from Lexington, Tennessee, stating that Reese had been captured at that place. Later, in reply to a telegram from the sheriff, the chief of police of Lexington stated positively that the man captured was not the man wanted. But this did not settle the matter. The man who made the claim in the first place, kept on writing and insisting that lie had the man wanted. He was so positive in his assertions that Sheriff Logan was very much puzzled anil entered into quite a correspondence. At last, under date of June 12, the Lexington man, whose name is J. N. G. Ferguson, wrote as follows: John R. Looan, Esq., Yorkville, S. 0.: Your letter of the 2u instand to hand, and I note what you say. In reply, 1 will say that I believe I have the man you want beyond any question. He fills the description in every particular so accurately that I can't be mistaken. He lias a bald spot on the back of the headscar under right ear?rather near back of neck. Can feel the bullet under the skin. Has a picture of a woman who is precisely like the woman on circular. lie is a large, tine looking fellow. .So I say, in view of this, I fail to see wherein any mistake could me made in the man, or why you should delay coming for him. While I am of the opinion that this party was in this county in January last, yet I could be mistaken in this, and perhaps you may be mistaken in the date of his escape. If, upon the receipt of this letter you decide to come for the man, wire me a <i?v or two before vou start, and I will have liim here. Send telegram to (.'hits. N. Timbcilake, Lexington, Tenn. Yours very truly, J. N. G. Fkiuji'son "Upon receipt of this," said Slieriil' Logan to the reporter last Saturday, "I could not help but feel that the matter was worth an investigation. I was positive, of course, that I was not mistaken as to the date of the escape; but Ferguson said he mignl be mistaken, and so that part seemed satisfactory. I went out to Lexington and found it to be a town of about 2,000 inhabitants. First, 1 weut to the hotel, and the next morning to the office of Timherlake, who is a lawyer. Tiinberlake immediately took a team and went some 10 or 12 miles in the country after Ferguson, who proved to be an ignorant, uncouth kind of a fellow. Ferguson was positive that his man was the right one ; but when he began to answer my questions, I was soon convinced that the man was not Reese. The alleged scar in the back "oi the neck was too low down, for one thing. Then it developed that thn follow was ouite a trader, well known in two or three counties, and a number of people testified to having seen him in town previous to the burning of somebody's livery stable in January. Ferguson was unable to tell whether the alleged picture of Mrs. Anderson was a tintype or a photograph; but claimed that it looked like the published cut, only she had no "roof" on, meaning no hat. Everything went to show that the fellow's simple judgment had been warped completely out of shape through the hope to secure the 8700 reward offered for Reese, and I gave up the bunt in disgust as a bad job, without even trying to see the fellow."

A number of lumber dealers are coming in with claims for various amounts ranging from $100 to $500; but the understanding is that local creditors have already served attachments upon all get-at-able property. BLACKSBURG BUDGET. The Weather?Evangelist's Tent Blown Down?Progress of the Meetings?Veterans Elect Officers?Personal Mention. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Bi.acksburu, June 22.?For the past several weeks, almost every rain that has fallen was accompanied by a strong wind and a considerable display of lightning. The last one, on Sunday evening, however, was the most severe we have had. There was not much electrical disturbance ; but the wind blew a terrific gale for a short time. Trees and fences, in some places, were blown down, and the large tent, used by Evangelist Elson, after resisting several other very strong shocks from the wind, gave way to this one and fell to the ground. There was some slight damage to the organ and lamps; but the tent structure was soon raised again and everything reinstated as before. On Sunday morning, the Rev. Mr. Cauthcn held services there, and quite a number of persons, recent converts at Mr. Elson's meeting, signified their intention of joining the MethodiHt church, and will be taken in later. The Rev. Mr. Neville, of Yorkville, preached in the tent lust night and received into the Presbyterian church 12 persons who also professed conversion at the meeting. A large number also expect to join the Baptist church very soon, under similar conditions. It is difficult to estimate the amount of good accomplished by the late revival. The meeting held here on Saturday, the 12th instant, of Hart Camp, United Confederate Veterans, was not largely attended on account of the busy season with the farmers; but the regular business of the camp was attended to, and, in addition, Comrade J. M. Allison was appointed to attend the reunion at Nashville as a delegate from this camp, and the same privilege was accorded to other members of the camp as delegates or alternates who might wish to go. A committee was also appointed to dralt suitable resolutions in regard to the death of our late comrade, Jacob S. Karle. It was also decided to have a special meeting of the veterans on Saturday, the 21st of August, to take place here, to which the people of the whole county aro invited and all are requested to bring their baskets of provisions. Colonel McMaster, of Columbia, is to be invited to attend and he will no doubt be present. Also other distinguished veterans. Let all come and have a line gathering and a tine time. Mr. and Mrs. Thornton and Mrs. and Miss Roberts are here, stopping at Cherokee Inn, and expect to make Hlacksburg their future home. We give them a heart; welcome.
