| LONG STEP TAKEN f IN CHURCH UNION CHATTANOOGA METHODIST BODIES COME TOGETHER Faror General Conjunction of Two Great Churches?Discuss Method* isiu and Its Future in Fraternal Spirit. 1 * iobnn in PVlof_ A iOIlg Step lias uecu iaacu in wuhi,tanooga, Tenn., toward the organic union of Methodism in America. The Centenary Methodist EpisN' copal Church, South, and the Methodist Episcopal Church (Northern branch) agreed to consolidate and ' build one great church, and be one < people. Both congregations are among the strongest and most influential in their respective branches of the denomination. A meeting of interest to American Methodism as a whole was held in Chattanooga Thursday at noon. Twenty-five representatives of each branch of the church discussed the future of Methodism, in a frank, fraternal way. Members of these two churches, which separated in 1845, on account of political and ecclesiastical differences, declared themselves one in spirit, and, while recognizing loyalty to their respective denominations, ev ery speaker snowea mmseir in iavui of a reunion of the Methodist femily in America. John A. Patten and Bishop William Anderson, both members of the committee on organic union, participated in the discussion. John H. Race, president of Chattanooga University, made a strong appeal for union. The joint conference committee of the two Chattanooga churches, composed of representatives from the First Methodist Episcopal Church and from Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church, South, after consideration of the returns of the two churches represented in the conference, reached the following conclusions. 1. The two churches are planted in proximity to each other, each representing its respective branch of the denomination, and each undertaking to occupy the most ladvantageous position for serving its own constiuency. They have grown side by side in numbers, in influence and in strength, and I the frhternal relations between the ' two have constantly grown and been strengthened, until they have become one in spirit. it is agreed oy iue ouiufi tuiv;? i jfl^H^&unUlee that 'in order to . cm^wve H| jpU^jke We forces of both branches ^tire deniriomluation, only one church j should be constructed, and that the two congregations should be made Constipation is the cause of many ailments and disorders that make life miserable.

To the end that unity of spirit may come into unity or service, the committee agreed that all fraternal and kindly relations between the two churches should be fostered by bring- I ing the people together in religious exercises, and by co-operating one with the other in every good work. ( 4. The site selected is an advantageous and strategic location for our common Methodism to occupy. 5. Confidently anticipating that the Joint commission created by the respective general conferences of Meth- | odism will speedily formulate a plan for uniflcatio nof all the Methodist 1 forces in America, we are agreed that 1 our plans for a new church building 1 should be held in abeyance as far as f consistent with the interests involved 1 pending tne nnai aujusuneui in iue whole problem by the constituted au- j thorities of the churches.

A Cnortnnhnrp nneelal to the State lays: News has reached Spartan>urg of a battle near Cashville, Wedlesday morning, between a farmer irmed with a pistol and two of his leighbors with shotguns. Three per10ns were seriously though not fatally ivounded. There has been bad blood for seviral weeks between N. G.

Further particulars as o the cause of the quarrel could not )t learned. The quarrel became more md more bitter, harsh words were exihanged, threats made, and when the leighborfc ; met Wednesday! morning :hey were apparently prepared for violence. Mr. Alverson went to the boundary lne between his and Mr. Norrls' planatlon alone. Mr. Norrls was accommnled by his two sons.

Last iJanuary, Anthony BurgeBS, an >ld negro man, killed his son-in-law, iown in Clarendon county, South Car>lina, because he had treated his wife, he old man's daughter, so cruelly that ihe died. He fled the county and found efuge in New York city, where he was tpprehended last week and held by he police for requisition by the South Carolina authorities. Last Thursday le was delivered to the sheriff of Clarendon county, who was accompalied by L. R. Mcintosh. When the old legro saw Mcintosh, he was asked vhether he was willing to go with th? South Carolina officers, and sald: "It's all right. I knows dat man, cause I nussed him when he was a >aby, and I knowed his father befo' lim. They's gentlemen, an' I won't )ut no gentlemen to bother on my ac:ount. "I'll do anything they wants me to io. I've made enough trouble now. I 'un away 'cause I was afraid of what he nieeers down there might do to ne. I wasn't afraid of the whites, cause they's gentlemen. I'll go hack, in' if they clear me, all right; an' if hey don't?whj, that all right, too." And Mcintosh slipped his arm hrough that of Anthony, and said: 'Come along, Uncle Anthony." To a reporter he said: "My father's ast dollar will be spent, if need be, to dear the old nigger." This is the simple story told by the sJew York World. And it was worth elling, because it illustrates in a striking way the relations between the whites and blacks in the South; we nean real whites and blacks that are o be found nowhere else in the counry except in the South. It is not to >e expected that the yankees shall unlerstatid the feeling that obtains beween the old negroes in the South itid their former masters; their deepseated affection, their natural goodwill, their disposition to help each Mher in all times of sorrow and disiress. Will "Uncle Anthony" be punished for his offense? Not if the money of the Me In toshes can prevent it, and there is any way to save him from the penalties of the law. A white man who killed his son-inlaw for (ruelty to his daughter would not be punished, and Anthony Burgess will doubtless be acquitted. His crime, tiis flight, his arrest, his surrender, his trial, are only incidents in a case which brings out in sharp outline the relations between the races in the South.
