A schism seemed imminent in the congregation of Central Methodist church, this city, Sunday morning, at a co-gregational meeting following the services. Dr. J. W. Wolling, the pastor, has served Central chureh for two years, and at- the recent ses sion of the Methodist conference in Ahbevile he was removed to Allen dale. There has been some feeling engendered among the congregation on account of his removal. It seems that the board of stewards requested his removal, and that many members of the congregation, and the people of the city generally, wanted him to remain. Dr. Wolling went to Con ference with 'a good record behind him, and with a clean balance sheet, little dreaming that there was any trouble. It seems that when he got to conference he was informed that the cause of his removal was the re quest of his board of stewards. Dr. Wolling announced that he would preach his farewell sermon to his. congregation Sundaymorning, an d his farewell to the people of the city generally Sunday night, it having been understood that the Rev. M. L' Banks, the new pastor, would take charge on next Sunday. Dr. Wolling preached a very elo quent and able sermon Sunday morn ing from the text from I Tim 4, 16: "Take heed unto thyself and unto the doctrine; continue in them; for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. Dr. Wolling's sermon was a fine presentation of his text, concluding with the hope that he had not only saved himself, but that during his minitry in Newberry impressions had been left and desires strengthen ed and made higher, and some called back from the waderer's path to Jesus. "Have.I saved. myself2".he asked. "With all my imperfee tion," he said, "I can stand before God and say that I have7 and hope that I have saved others." In the congregationa meeting fol lowing the services Dr. Wollig com mended his suceessor,.-4he Rev. M. L. Banks, to the congregation. He had never been intimately associated with him, he said, but in all he had seen of him he hzad found him a pleasant gentleman. He did not seek to come to Newberry, said Dr. Wol hitg, but no doubt he would have been willing to come. Dr. Wollink urged the congregation to gather around him as friends and brethren. "Don't let him feel lonely. Visit him, sus tain him financially, and stand by him. He will have faults, as the rest of us have, and it won't be long be fore somebody is displeased. Then is the time for you to show your true nobility-officers and members don't stand back mouthing over it, but go up and tell him what i;he dif ficulty is, and see if he can mend it. I wish I could im.press that upon you." The following resolutions were then offered by Cole. L. Blease, a member of the congregation, and were unanimously adopted: "The Rev. Dr. J. W. Wolling hav ing served Central Methodist church for the past two yea.rs, and having performed his duties in a most faith ful anid efficient manner, having ac complished mueh good ini bringing back into the fold of the church mem bers who fo'r years had been es tranged on accot nt of factional dif ferences, and having added 1-argely to the membership and the strength of the church, by his consecrated ef forts, be it, "Resolved, That the congregation of said church desire to and do here by place upon record their apprecia tion of his services, and part with him reluctantly, and wish that it might have been so that he could hae been returned to us to continue his labors for good, .not only in our church, but in the community at large. "Resolved, That his removal was against our wishes, nor were we con sulted in regard thereto, and if we had been we would have protested. "Resolved, That we wish him God speed wherever his path of duty may "Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of this church." Dr. Wolling received the resolu tions wvith appreciation, and said that he was anxious that the ehurch should be left in perfect peace, "and that nothing should be done,'' he said, "that should disturb your de votions. Yet I feel constrained,'' he said, "to say a few things. I go with the deep consciousness that I have done, as near as I knew how. my duty. I am not of that age to go around seeking a little cheap popu larit-I have already got honor enoh-but I did try to please you; I eie tmon niA.ea Vu on will never have a preacher who will more anxiously desire in his humble way to please the members and to please the officers of the church-not be cause I am subservient, but because I am a gentleman and a Christian." Ile said that he had given his best efforts to the preparation of his ser mons, and to all the work of his church, and if his work had fallen short of what it should be it had not been for lack of effort on his part. "I don't know that it is the proper thing to say,'" he said, "but I feel constrained to 'say it, that it is not the Bishop, nor the Presiding Elder, but your official board, that has cut Imy work in half." Dr. Wolling said he wanted this "to soak in." That is where the rasping started. Dr. Wolling says that he intended to say, if he had been allowed to com plete the sentence, that he believed the board had been acting for what they conceived to be for the best in terests of the church. But he was not allowed to complete the sentence. Mr. John H. Wicker, a member of 'Jthe board of sewards, arose and said that it seemed to him the whole object of the meeting was to cast re flections on the board of stewards, and there was one thing he wanted to "soak in,'' and that was, (ad dressing Dr. Wolling, in the pulpit) "that it was not only for the good of the congregation, ,but for your good as well, that we took the iaction we did." He said that the board of stewards did not feel that they had' been appointed by Dr. Wolling simply to be led blindly by him, but to do their duty as they saw it, and that was what they had tried to do. Mr. W. G. Mayes, another member of the board of stewards, said that the board had taken the action it had taken for the best. interests of the church, as they saw it, and they had no apologies to make to any one. He said that he had- not sought a posi tioAiO)l the board, and if matters kept 'on as they were going,- he would not hold a position on the board much longer. Mr. W. H. Wallace, chairman of the board, then arose and made a statement as to the action of the board: Mr. Wallaee said he had been a member' of the hurch for a good many years, and had.never seen any thing of this Eind in the'ehui-ch be fore. He went at some length into the action of the. iboard, which action he said seemed to them to be for the good of the church, and he said that the action of..the board was unani mous. He said that he felt that the resolutions which. had ,been passed tended to reflect 1upon the board,. and that they had not come from the bard.~ However, hla said, the ~resolu tions had not been opposed, but he thought, the .miatter -ought to have stopped thers. Soon after Mr. Wicker started speaking many of Dr. Wolling 's friends, and especially the ladies, got up and went out of the church, stand ing in the vestibule, and at the con elusion of his remarks some of them came back in the church, and then went out again. One of the ladies came out of the choir and left the church. It seemed for a while that the congregation was to be disrupted. At the conclusion of Mr. Wallsee's .remarks, Mr. Z. F. Wright moved that the congregational meeting stand adjourned, and Dr. Wolling annone ed that the meeting stood adjourned. Di-. Wolling goes to A.lleiidale on Wednesday. He carries with him the best wishes of the people of New berry, who will miss him deeply. Dur ing his pastorate here he has done a great deal of good, not only in his own congregation, but among the people generally, and he has been a power for good in the- community. Hipp-Halfacre.

Some of the chickens were recover ;d, and they were traced to Clarence Thacker, a negro Baptist preacher. It was learned that Thacker would have some chickens foi delivery on the Mollohon mill hill on Saturday and Policeman Lee and Policeman Austin wene on the look-out for him. Policeman Lee went ini one diree tion and Policeman Austin in an other.
