A Matter of General Concern.
Aii honor to I. L. T<?bin, the Intendnot
Of Allendale! He lias come nob y to
the defense of tho Prohibition Act in
?Urnwell county. Tho Xewsnnd Corner
V f Monday contains an article from his
Veil in answer ?o a citizen of that county
who has assailed thooperations of the law
and pronounced it a failure, in which he
shows by facts and figures that it is prov-l
b ing a great blessing to Allendale. Prior
to the adoption of the law in that county,1
the town of Allendale was noted for disorder,
now it is becoming noted for good
?>rder ; then it cost 810U per month to police
tlie town, now it costs $20. He says,
furthermore, that the law "will never be
repealed by tho voice of the people of
Hani well." It will be remembered that
the law is in force in the whole county,j
and was voted upon by the county, not
simr>lv by the towns. Other counties are
movutg in tlie suiiia direction. Wo tielieve
it is right that the people of the
country should have a voice in this matter,
as it Directs their interests as well as
tho interests of those who live in the
towns. Liquor is an evil that must go.?
Jiliptist Courier.
Any man who will give the subject a
moment's thought, can, we think, see a;
? glance that the money which was paid
into the treasury of the town, should have
gone into the treasury of the county.
'Hie license fees increase the price of all
whiskies which may be sold, and as the
vountry people huy their share of the intoxicants,
the putting of license fees into
tho treasury of the town is merely taxing
the people of every part of the county for
the benetit of the towns. We presume
this proposition will not he disputed by
anybody. The only excuse which we
have ever heard for diverting the license
feci from their proper eiinnnei?me comity
treasury?is the fact that additional police
force is required if lieensesare granted.
This kind of reasoning and this species
ol excuse for doing a wrong to the
people of the whole county for the bonefit
of the towns, is as fallacious as it is
unjust. If extra police force is required
it must be because of the disturbance or
nuisance caused by the licensing of retail
liquor stores. Ordinarily if a citizen or a
community set up u nuisance, that citizen
or that community, must suffer some
penalty for its violation of the rules of
propriety, but in the case of legalizing
the liquor business tlie town councils of
tho different towns are allowed a bonus,
or a large sum of money, for setting up a
business within their respective corporate
limits, which is strictly forbidden in the
country. Tho people in tho country suffer
from the disorder, violence, and offensive
conduct resulting from drunkenness
l'ully as much as do tho peoplo of the
towns, but the people of the town, who
are primarily responsible for tho evils,
reap Iho profits accruing from the sale of
the liquors, which may demoralize and
corrupt the people until they are incapacitated
for business, or become paupers
*?r criminalj?and finally a charge upon
the public. j
If tho county had the liquor license fees
the taxes of the county could be kept
within the three mills levy. We could
also make all the needed improvemMits'
on the Court House, without taxing our
people to the amount of a font.
If it is right t) put a hum)red dollars
into the county treasury for liquor license,
why not put the whole amount into the
same treasury. We would like to know
if there is any good reason for the dls-,
crimination against the county, which is
boUnd to pay the expense of supporting
t he pan pels, and of trying persons guilty
of crimes, as the result of the whiskey
traffic. It is a very safe business for the
towns to receive the license let's as loiig
ns the county pays all the expense resulting
from the evils of the whiskey trnific.
If thp whiskey trade is advantageous to
the town, surely we ought to be patriotic
enough to tax ourselves a sum sufficient
to pay the services of a town inan>ha!l. \
the Republican Address.
Wo would earnestly request our road- J
t?rs to peruse the address issued by the
jtppuoiiCHii ouue axbciuiw vvuiiiiiuw
to the people of South Carolina, which
we publish in our columns this morning.
It is no bogus address. It is a bona fi<lr
production. It is signed by a certaiu
Kllery M. Brayton, Chairman and Henry
A. Wallace Secretary, and hails from the
roonts of the Republican State Kxecutivc
Committeei
When, some weeks ago we published
two letters of Letn Guflin's, some of
tho readers of the Press ami Banner
thought they were not genuine, and
that we had concoctcd them for
campaign purposes. It seemed . too
absurd to suppose that Guflin would
Imye written such inflammatory epistles to
hegjoes; and yet we have the originals
j in our posession ready for inspection.
Similarly :t must seem that the rhodomontade
ol'Brayton is the production of
some zealous democrat who is inspired
With a determination to fire tho democratic
heart. Such is not the case however.
Toe bitter, burning prouunciamento
is really the address ol tho Republican
leaders issued to the people of South Caroliua.
We have no criticism to make of
it, it speakf tor itself. Republicans and
Democrats alike know when they read it
_ that it is false from beginning to end.
who wrote it kn?*^-*"> writing
lies. lie could not dare to tell the
deluded negroes tho truth. Lower taxes,
more schools, longer school terms,
peace and security, honest government,
justice in the courts, and all the blessings
obtained for white and black by our success
in 1876,?Bray ton docs not say any
trno word about them. His while address
is false in warp and woof. Ilis im
pudenco is sublime. The fact that he and
such as lie are suffered to live within the
k borders of South Carolin a is sufficient to
disproreall the charges he brings against
the democrats, whose forbearance and
magnanimity have been marvelous.
In countries less law abiding such public
pests, marplots, and firebrands would
long ere this have been banished or exterminated.
The address is worthy of the Blaine
I campaign, it is a lit companion of the
Mulligan letters. But the Republican]
Stale Executive Com mitten, whoever that
august body may bo, knows full well that!
the era of peace, reconciliation, and pros-!
perity, inaugurated in the State in 1S7G,
will not be disturbed by the bray of Bravton.
iVe Respectfully Decline.
Wo have beeh asked by the No* Or-'
leans authorities to do many dollars worth
of free advertising lor the New Orleans
lixpesitien, the mere type setting of J
which would amount to something, and ,
all of which expense we havo declined to;
incur. But wo have cheerfully lent thel
use of our columns free of cost to the!
State authorities to advance that big show, {
and now we are asked to send our paper
free of charge for six months. The pre-j
Hiimption in asking these requests of*j
us which it would cost money to grant, i
shall'paxs without notice except to mention'
that immense sums of money have been 1
appropriated to further the interests of

[ ucisi. ?o to speak, Ot trade. Only tlieM? Indus:hes
that have long fed on high-tariff pup can
induce In tlio mxuiy of ovet--productIon.
The butch -r, tbe b.iker. tho cabinet-maker, an
\ve!l as tho tailor, carpentur, shoemaker,
! brlek a.vor, printer, and most of the remain!
ing trades at v'hl' h workmen command high
wages, have nothing to do with ovcr-productlon
save to pay the Ineie.iso of taxes rendered
necessary by the enforced Idleness of their
less f'?rtnnate brethren who are encouraged
by protection to la I into the slouzli ot overproduction.
We h'-ar almost daily of mills
closing and factories arid furnaces shutting
down hero and there. The representatives ol
Southern cotton mills recently met and
aureed to rc^trl-'t the production of goods?
that N, to elo-u m>iik; of tho rnill< and run
others on h ut time, tluisdiinlnlshin^ the already
scanty pay 01 luckless operatives. C'?t!
ton mills at Lowell, Muss., with i>ut. one exception,
have been closed. and thousands of
1 men and women whose only dependence is on
jthe labor of their hands in those mills must
! walk the streets until tho gre.it niheels start
jagain. When iron furnacesund rolling mills
arc not closing entirely, heavy cuts in wages
are the rule. The over-production creates an
I excessive stock, which makes easy the en*
foreetix nt of u reduced scale of wages. At
j Chicago recently tho lumber kings of the
North and West met to talk over trade mat!
lers. Tliey also, it seems wereNUlferlng from
j the podagra of over-pro luetion. These men
<-l.i I in to have live hundred millions of dollars
invested in their business, and their cure for
two much lumber wa< the same simple progress
of "shuttin-.'down" which Eastern mills
! have learned so well. The Ohio platform ot
Mr. Converse furnished a valuable hint to the
lumber magnates, for In resolving to largely
reduce their sawing and to close early many
of their mills they stipulated that this should
be done, "'but In such u manner as not to injure
employes." We are not told bow mills
can be closcd and sawing of logs reduced to a
minimum without injuring employes. That
Is probably a secret known nly to the lumber
kim;s and to tho Ohio followers of Messrs.
Converse, rayne, Warner and o'Iters of that
political ilk, who profess to believe that putting:
a prohibitory duty on wo >1 will not create
monopolies.
While the advocates of high-tariff" taxes
and borne markets o-ily are all agreed that
there Is over-productiod. they do not exactly
agree >?s to its cause. A New Orleans Journal,
tlie Times Democrat, tells Its readers that the
crops have been too good, the mills too busy
and two prosperous, and every bo ly has had
' more than was wanted ot everything. Too
i much food an.l clothing this authority regards
as "one of the singularities of clvliiza
hearten itic, when ttio Democrats devoted the
lust session of Congress to a desperate effort
to cut down the duties."
j Tl'ereyou have It. BwAttse nn honest effort
was made to reduec by ut least oue-thlrd
the enormous surplus luxation which the nation
Is unnecessarily compelled to bear; the
Inciustrics-thnt Is, the tariff-shielded portion
of them?are greatly depressed. But, then,
the Tribune does not expect anybody to believe
this. Over-production Is Injurious to
the nation because of the rigidly defined
bounds of the markets in* which the surplus
product can be sold. When foreign manufacturers
have a surplus th?-y have the whole
round earth and all Its inhabitants as an outlet.
Our producers can sell only to their own
countrymen, who are compelled to pay fictitious
prices or go without the goods.
A BLACK IN THE BLACK DISTRICT.

ler Spear* says they will not Vote
for Ffdler Buskins.
Butler Spears is a light colored mulatto,
vno is aisooneoi uie iignis 01 -lie grauu oiu
party." He has at various time* tie d various
ofllces. but. is now a free citizen, without public
employment, ami his utterances may
therefos'e be regarded as not emanating from
an official source. Spears is very much exercised
over the nomination ot Ftdilicr 'Join
Buskins as elector on the Itcpuhiicau ticket
for the Seventh Congressional District, and,
being encouraged to ventilate his views by a
Reductive Reporter who met him yesterday,
deli ve ed himself as follows: You can Just
saS" that the colored voters of the Seventh District
will not vote for Batskln, and that's the
long and short of It. We wont go to the polls
to vote for that man. We were opposed to
him In the State Convention, where 1 made a
fight against him, and weatn't going to swallow
him at all. I've been advocating the
rights of the colored man ever since 1 crowed
up. and I'm advocating them now. What I
tuy is, the Democrats have given us the Black
T>;<f riL-t r.n'i we should have bia.-k men' to
represent U*.
The least, that cou'd have born done was to
put a Mack limn on the electoial ticket. I'll
till? ou one thing. it they expect the colored
people in that district to come out and vote
for Smalls and Raskins, they are calculating
on nothing. ('U1 Baskins has been running
for office all his life. He's like Tom B. JoneH
here in Charleston, a chronic candidate for office.
He's crazy for office, and he has never
yet pot one. He tried the Democratic party,
and he cotild't even get to be a constable.
Now he's trying to uet into office on the backs
of the colored men." He makes me sick. I
tell you he can't do It, because the colored
people won't vote for hi In. Jfo, sir; they
won't. The ci lored Vo'crsof the Seventh District
want to be represented by colored men,
and ihe sooner old Raskins and his tribe understand
it the belter for them. I'm a Republican.
I've always been one, but I ain't a
fool, atid I don't think the colored people in
the Seventh District are such fools as Ba.skIns
and the rest take them to be. I'.l tell yon
one tiling its uoiug to do. Its going to heat
Stnalls Air Congress as sure as shooting.
" V U I"IC '"I ?? ?? ??? *
don't think much of him inysell. but still the
colored folks would vote for him because lie's
a colored mar. but the Bask ins business 1ms
made them all sick, and I don't believe that
half of the voters will come out on election
pay. There are hundreds of colored men In
! the district who are able to represent their
race on the electoral ticket. Now why didn't
I they put one of them there Instead of old
Husking? Who Is lie any way? If he Is a
Republican he Is chanced tonne since I saw
lilnt last, and he is a poor shout anyhow. It
wouldn't surprise me a bit If Smalls Is beaten,
i and It. will serve them right tf he Is. If they
. are L'olnsr to loud town the ticket with that
( kind of trash it ought to be beaten anyhow.
Another Jeremiad.
(Gcoretown En qu irer.)
The Chester Bath-tin has a long editorial debouncing
the South Carolina College as an
! anachronism, an etlete. institution, the flower
ol iiourbonism. which lenfus nothing and for.
! get* nothing. It says: "The college taxes the
j many for the benetit of the few and Is a step
; backward toward the conditions existing be1
fore the w?r? whloli kept Carolina far to the
! rear in the march of progress and at last
1 brought her to ruin or.d desolation." Tills Is
| a remarkable assertion. The South Carolina
! College Is open and free to all. To call the
! maintenance of tin Institution of learning "u
| step backward" Is to do violence to our ino?t
! enlightened conceptions of progress and civil;
i/.atlon. If the public schools wcie kept open
I nine months in Hie year Instead of four.
I five, or six. there would still be need for such
! a college. It Is j early educating poor and dej

Justilles Us existence.

We know thai the means by which they
have retained power In this suite are not less
fraudulent nnd un-republican than were the
methods by which tiiey obtained it revolutionary
nnd criminal. We have waited with
fortitude for our deiiverauce from this political
bondage, and endeavored through tho
peaceful agency of the billot alone to free the
Statu from this usurpation ; not because there
; was not abundant cause for revolt, but because,
under the Conditions as they exist iu
i the South any such efTort as was necessary
to obtain our rights and right our wrongs
! would result In conflicts and cousequences
so disastrous and unequal that we could not
do otherwise.
i Those who reproach us for our submission
Utile understand our circumstances and fee|
bly realize the situation of affairs In the old
; slave Stales. We likewise cannot comprehend
how the loyal people of this country
can be apparently so Indifferent to toe real
condition of their fellow-men at tl e South or
I wld sutl'or the law-abiding citizens of a great
j section to be tyrannised and dominated by
I tlio?e who so recently were tho known cnej
mien of Hie country.
j I fall the misdeeds charge ngnlnst the UcI
publican govei'ments at the South were true
j 11 could not iicgin to equal llie crimes comj
mined to overthrow them, or the fraudulent
I practices uy which power is reiuimu, or me
: injustice and vicious acts which have characterized
Hie Bourbon administrations.
j The adroit Southern leaders, by working
! up the race prejudice which unfortunately
: prevails dorm.iiuly at the North, and stliiiu'
biting the mercantile spirit, have close the
i eyes of the country to the subversion of those
i rights which are vital and fundamental, and
; without the enjoyment of which rightful
, government does not exist.
I Startling as It may seem, we declare thnt
there Is no political offence committed for the
i benellt of tne Democratic party In this State,
ranging from assassination to the pollution
i of the billot bux, where the authors und in
I stigators are not sale from punlshnnt and
i which the ruling' public sentiment does uot
sanction.
i A irnthlnl recital of the outrages and wrongs
I Inflicted on ilepubltcuns could no more be
! credited than coUid those unfamiliar with
the South comprehend the extremes to which
I the Bourbons would go to malntuiu their
j power.
I We challenge history to show an example of
'greater fidelity und more devotion, under
i equal dangers, sufferings, and sacrltlces, then
) that exhiMted by the loyal and unlbig^lna
I support of tne emancipated and enfranchised
1 citizens of tlie South to the parly which gave
I them freedom and th* b;ihot, and whose plain
I duly it is to protect mem 111 inetr guaranteed
rights.
We hall with sallsf iction tho bright prospect
of Republican success In those portions
of the country where the ballot Is tree, the
count Is hone>t ?nJ Intimidation does not
prevail; ami feel thankful to Uod tliut the
malign rule of thesulid South Is not to be
extended ; we believe that in our Illustrious
standard bearers, the two leaders best able to
break seello.ial opposition, have been chosen
to conduct us to assured victory, and are tirin
In the hope they wlil prove, with equal zeal
aud power, the champion* of Republican citizens
at the South us well as American citizens
ubi?o:td.
While we henrtlly endorse Hie principles
enunciated in our national platform, and are
particularly glad that the ^reat subject of
protection of American Industries, especially
| wisely and bravely championed, we hold that
i the most vltul question to be determined Ht
| the approaching election Is the establishment
and maintenance of the political rights of the
people; and we call upon Congress to ennct
sncn laws as we are confident President
Illume wlil recommend to overcome this
travesty on free popular government at the
South. If there be not the constitutional
I power to legislate so us to give all citizens
| equal rights in State elections, then we demand
that in Federal elections the registration,
as veil us the management of the
election, shall be under the supervision of the
General Government.
We denounce the registration and election
laws of this state as a horrible conspiracy
against the rights of the people. Tne registration
of the voters of this .-state as practiced
is a sham and would be u delusion but for the
feurlul reality of its Injustice and deptivaj
lions. Not only Is every Supervisor of Registrillion
an active Democrat, but the position
is looked lo as a reward for partisan services.
Under tne provisions of the law every qualified
voter who failed to register prior to the
election of l.st>2 Is disfranchised forever, without
tne Supervisor In his discretion deems It
advisable to allow a subsequent registration,
so that in eflcct the disability attaches only
to Republicans. We charge tnut while Republicans
are required to personally tuKe the
! registration oatu, that it Is not only a com
i mun practice lor Democrats to register by
1 proxy, but that In many instances local polij
tieiitns have received the certificates of those
1 Democrats In their vicinity who fulled to obtain
them through lndiffe.cuee or otherwise,
mid they remain unissued without the person
votes the regulation ticket.
We further charge that every possible ob
stnclc In the way of Republicans getting new
certificates In case of loss or change ol residence,

Democrats similarly circumstanced. Instances
have occurred In which the registration

The registration books cannot be examined,

that the names be pub.lshed would be regarded
as puerile und ridiculous. liut even this

of his certificate of registration.

an honest, determined etlort be made to have
declared null and void these obnoxious and
partisan laws.
We denounce the failure of the Democratic
party in tills state to ke'SD faith with the peo'
pie. The pUdges they gave have been broken
I and their promises are unfulfilled. ThereI
tenclunent guaranteed has not. been established,
and instead of ollieos being reduced
J they have been increased and without a view
; to the public good or eon venience, hut to afford

It will operate against Republicans. Republicans
are excluded from the Jurv boxes,

{are threatened with dismissal If they take

Fellow-Kcpubllcnn*: Though deeply mind- I
I fill of the (friflvou.s wrongs we have nuffered i
und fully uwitre that the machinery by which .
tho Democrats, under the forms ol Inw, have '
fortified themselves In power, makes their
rule seem well nigh Impregnable, we are not: <
without hopa that a better duy will soun (
dawn. ]
For despite the life Ion? prejudices and
blind hostility of Southern white men, we
find them now, by tho course of events, es- '
pouslng doctrines they have In tho pn>-t violently
and eoncclentlouxiy opposed. For In- .
stance, a marvelous chanue has taken place <
In pub'le benilmenl nl>out tho effect and '
rightfulness of shivery, and while most ?
thoughtful men now see und declare that sla- >
very was a material curse to real prosperity, |
very many feel the condemnation of Its sin ,
flilness. They admit the war was wrong or
unwise and that their public action after its I
close was short-sighted and obstructive to tho s
peace and welfare of the Ktateund the best In- >
tercets of tho people; while the mere mention |
of the Rlack Code causes their heads lo hang ,
In slmme. j'
Contrary to all tlielr predictions Hint slaves I
when rttnue froc would become lawless ntnl In-'f
dolcilt) thpy now agree that the freemen rnalce i
the best laborers and are law-abiding and use- j
f\)l cltlrens. I
The hostility to their ownership of land has 11
almost passed away and opposition to educa- j j
lion has not only nearly ceased, but a inajorl- .
ty of the white people honestly favor tnxing
themselves to educate the masses; and their '
Is no section of Hie country which has tnorn
openly denounced the action of the Dpiho- j
cratle party In Congress In defeating thebe?)C- <
fluent educational bill than the people of tlie .
South, who in this and many other respects! 1
are in advance of the politicians.
These and other ureal changes In the minds <
and conduct of Southern people, inspire the 1 .
hope Unit even the Democratic conscience:
will be toncned to the Iniquities and oppres* |1
sion now visited upon us, and to the deniorltUi t
IzutIon and degradation which is being in-j l
stilled and nurtured anions the people by the |
pollution of the ballot box and the trampling j.
imnn thr> rights of the elective franchise. I
Fellow-citizens: Upon lis is cast Hie duly I
or being true to our destiny. We must ,
be equal to our needs nnd responsibilities. |.
Whatever he our discouragements or the mis- j
rule afflicting us, we should stand firm and 1
steadfast and do our utmost for (he triumph 1
of the grand principles ol the great Kepubll- '
can part''; and If by force and violence we |
are denied the success we hope to achieve we
will have theproud satisfaction that such success
was deserved and honestly won, and the
reproach for Its failure will he upon those
who have wrongfully prevented It.

i Editor /VMS nnd Banner:
| w? Wish lo nequxlnt both tlie brethren nnd |
! the world of such e.Uanicters ns we know to be
i dangerous to the en use of Christ:
j The first that we will nntne Is Rev. P. L.
I Morris. This mnn (Morris) I* ex-Moderator of 1
! Iiltile River Association. He whs Modem tor
j lor thai body ten or twelve yenrs, nnd w?s (
I succeeded last year by Rev M. W. Evans.
TTw la i.Iim nr??.f>iit nnstnr of Cross Ko;tds Hnr>
j tlst Church. That church he hus torn topl"ces.
! Because messengers from that church would
not support him longer as Modern tor of the
! Little IMver Association, he returned frojn
!that body to Cro'fi Roads Church, raised and
j agitated strife between tliem and the Inyi
members of the church. That he kept up and
! urged till he had the church 10 .exclude from
. Its fellowship live members, four of whom
I were deacons, the most dignified and fending
I elements of the church. That he did wlthlout
any private communication, notice, or
I anything of the sort, in >o doing we held
j then, as now. that the Gospel was violated,
! according to Matt, xvlll: 15-18. They, being
I usual y prompt members, some of them lust
I got therein time to see the vote taken or, their
! eases. That course of discipline so painfully
I ofl'ected a portion of th? church that It Insist- '
j ed upon calling, nnd did call, a council, com
i posed of white and colored (Baptist) brethren
j to labor In the way of repairing that error.
At the first assembly or the Council, the
! church refused either to meet It or to open her
i doors; that H, a majority or them so acted.
So the Council could not act but decided to (
: go home and return again on their regular
J conference day, which It did, ami succeeded
i In obtaining that day lor its designated pur- i
i pose. I
I Kev. B. F. Miller acted as Moderator for the (
I Council. Alter many hours 01 naru ion, nnu ;
| using ninny ^quotations from I lie Scriptures,
: the Council find them restored to the Church.
, The Church a.>d brethren who were restored
i/icreed thus: Before we cause to recur, or
I brine ahout In any way the past dillerences '
i by which we were so painfully uirected, "Lei 1
{our right hands lose their cunning and our i
tonEues cleave In the roof our mouths."
About three weeks alter that the pn>tor, P.
L. Morris, Hdvised the church to consider her 1
demolish!p. "You n?u>t," said he. "fnim this
i fact, that four of your deacons have been ex- ,
[eluded since they were o dallied; and nl- i
though they were restored tlie other d:iy they
I are no longer dearons. Because the act of 1
| restoration was not powerful enough to do i
I more than make them simply members of ,
j the chinch. That It could not replace thetn
to their former positions as deacons."
A preat part of the church contended that '
If the act of exclusion was sufficient to have
excluded thetn from both their offices and (
ineniDCRinp, mni me act 01 restoration migiii ;
, have and did replace them to bulh. Ills seen
jut once (but tills question in its nature
| brought tibout nil that wo Imd hoped were
buried, In this disputation or aflhlrs, thirty ?
and odd members or the church were called '
I liars, and were accused of telling lies; one to I
lit-le anothers sins. A legal charge was nt I
once taken against the offender (Anderson
Morton,) but tlie Moderator (Morris) would
not recognize It. Only a few minutes luti-r
the same fellow '.Morion) was set apart for ihc I
I tiling of the vacancy of the eldership with- <
I out having made the slightest ucknowledg- i
mentor or ror that offense.
| In consequence of this disaster and similar
: ones, we notlfiedjthem thus: <
j Whereas, Yonr membeiH or Cross Roads J
J Church are a majority, and though we. a '
large minority, cannot discipline for any
cause, we do, this the 8ih day oi July, ISfCi, i
assume the rlcht guaranteed us accord Ins; to
E. T. Hlscox's Church Directory, fouii(f on
pnge&S; noie lith. I
Under (he misrule of the Moderator. P. L. |
Morris, and the disorderly proceedings ol the I
church, we feel ourselves oppressed. and have <
,rlih,ln.t,.? ....Kl'lipldlfin fnlli.tvuliln from vnn

Tills rlsilitof withdrawal they deny. From (
the authority above named, page 81, note 1st, ,
which right indented to any single member.
But grant for the Bake of argument that we '
had not that right, and go to that church on
Conference day, take the Roll Hook and call
for Ell, Calvin. William. Moses. Wade, An- ,

present when the (rial took place. That, loo,
was done under the advice of I'. L. Morris.
That act they had published through the
Minutes or Little Klvtr Association.
Those who withdrew, and whom they claim
to have excluded, have organized themselves
Intoanew church, named Spring III1I, Wc
| sent messengers to the next session of Little
i River Association to ask them to expunge
: from the Minutes thfe Cross Hands church assertion
or exclusion.
The matter was taken up and referred to a
, committee. The committee was composed of
the most scrupulous men of that body, their
names being: Uevs. M. W. Evans, (j. Crawford,
? ])artson, A. L. Jones, and one other
whom weeah not name.
The committee examined the messengers
; and members lroin each church in this way :

i Q. Of what Church are you a member? A.
Cioss Heads Chutch.
! Q. Have you excluded members therefrom,
1 and If so, how many? A. We did exclude ;!0.
I Q. Had they notified the church Of their
withdrawal prior to that act of exclusion ? A.
Yes: but I as Clerk, did not read It to them
tljl just a few minutes before the act toolr
I place.
Q. How many did you Rlvc notice of trial ?
A. Only four. Q. And how many were ex- (
eluded ? A. Four.
Testimony of A. Morton : "We warned
four to trial but we excluded thirty." t
Testimony of P. Iu MorrN: "They all g
knew that they were to be tried; because
wnni one Knows muy un Know.

evening. I told them Hint those members
were not notified of any trial, They wild to
the church, 'if you wish to sit In the next Ar c
Roclatlon you had better exclude the lust one ?
of them now.' And tjp they did."
Testimony of Granville Mailin: "I wns
not warned, and did not know that nny one n
was." I V
Tiieeommlttee, upon this testimony,recom-j
mended the Association to erase irmn her!

those thirty, whereas! they hiid only with-;*

nantlv rejected thle report of the committee ; i
I and urged that these members hnd iieen law-;

This distinguished preacher (dlstlriKUshcd 5
for hi* crimen,) had been Moderator ten years j

better than to excommunicate thirty-odd, ft
members from fi Christian church, iind they c
unaware ot rt trial. And that Association en-,
dorsed his condnct. i
We wan every church, nnd every man ot 6
worth to bewnre of liini for tl.e foregoing and p
Ihc following reasons: He is Indebted hcre j

83.50; to Kit MoraRtie, 810, besides wheat that j 1

for years. We say to all, watch him as you e
would a lion ! Avoid him as yon would a t-er- ^
