Sip co the summary action lakon by tlie official members of the First Baptist Church ?4>f Jacksonville, and the with drawal of fellowship from me by that body, on Wednesday ovonjng, .J iitvM 20th, at tiieir prayer meeting service, it becomos my un pleasant duty to make a puljjte htato meot of tho whole affair, which I ro? grot exceedingly, and fo^ which 1 liavc tried repeatedly Jo be^.tho par don and n?k forgiveness of Dr. Hob ii of whicli iia3 been without Wliflt; arrangements were beiug hetwoen Dr. llobson (Hiii iny *olf for the consolidation of the two xiporp, tho Florida U-iptist Witneas itui the Southern liap'.ist, Dr. Hob *on curly domonHtrated his doternii. tuition to control tun in nil of thoee li rannoincnlH. One of his first con tcntione was in regard to the nutne i?f the paper, during which con ton tion ho charged that I had brought influence to bear in order that I might ho able to demand thy name of .Sou'hern Ihtptist and Witnenu. I yielded this point, howovor, with tho ondcrstandinf' Unit tho ah >v?? name In) retained for ?jix months, after which tune the "and" would be dropped In preparation for the lirnt issue o! onr consolidated paper, Dr. llobson made what 1 co?t;iderod unroasona/ tile demands regarding tho relative, position of our names upon tlo- mast head of the. paper. lie stated that "tho titnesH of tliio^'i required that his naiue appear drat." f Mta'ed that the names had boon ai-rang^l with no view whatever of pre einitionee ??Vor him, hut aimply in accordance with the names of the papers The contention of Dr. Wobson's brought on considerable discussion, which would hnve necessitated tho eontinuanoo of the two papers, had not Dr. Mobson yielded this point On the evening of Juno 1st, the two gentlemen, Mr. .1. T) Deggs and Mr. D. II McMillan, who wore a*, hinting us iu the ai rungoinent of the consolidation, diectmsod the eon ton tion of Dr. llobroii. with regard to the position of tlie names, ami fail ing to agree, they atatud that we ??mould our ?>ur papers separately Mint wtelf, and that, after referring the matter to other parties, they would t;ive us a final decision. Dr. Uoh'ioii then stated that he would yield this point, and it was suggested that I allow the "and" from the head line to ho dropped. To this I agreed. .Tune 10th an editorial was written by Dr. llobson, entitled "The ('on solidated Paper," in which Dr Hot) sou called attention to the fact that Mr. .T. A. Holloman would ho the publisher of tho paper, and that W. A. Hobson and J. It. llolloy wou'd edit it. Seeing tliat Dr. Hobson wp.h still contending f ?r the point that ho hud yielded, and being joint edi. tor with him. 1 thought i had the authority to oliango it, placing tho names as they appeared upon the mas the (id of our paper. I)r Holwon went t?> tl?o printing room and got hold of this editorial and changed the name a^ain. thnn eame to the oflRe.ff, suggesting that I would not luterfero with his f-li torials. or he with (nine, an<l ft I. to that we ahould huvo Home charao tci'ittlic *<> that people would know who had written theeo editorials. At that I wan dih-poaod to ncquicace in thin, not realising that thiH would renult in individual iustead of joint editorship, aa hud been intended In fho afiornoon. just before lowing the eity, ! phoned Dr. Hob^ou, nod sa?d that aftor thinking over this matter that I was unwilling for this editorial to go into th<) paper in the form in whieh.it was. He repliod that it wonhl go in as it was; 1 ro plied tliat ii would not llo tlion re fused to discuss tho matter further with m<*. 1 went to tho printers and ordered that, the article bo left out. In the luornuig on my rotorn I found Or Hobaon in Mr. IIolloman'H ?>fTiee. IT?? handed in kmiio editorial matter to Mr. lToIlomnn, which he said would bo used for the i*sue ol , thc^coming week. 1 paid to him, "Doctor, I want you to po up to the office, for I want to tnlk to you." Bj* way of explanation, I wish to say hore that l)r, llobHon w?n Invited to onr editorial room without the lea*t thought of any trouble arising. but ? for Iho purpose that we might have a fu'l understanding about, tho edi foi-ial^Ljoutstion I ?m fraok to say tlut I lUkd no anticipation ol uov I trouble. As we wcro goins up to ] tho office Dr Ilobson said aomettiinjH abont his having been i?iok, and that he did not liko to climb tho stairs. | Of coUrte. I knew that Dr. HoUkuo had bi en complaining forioot tlnie, and expected him to go away on a vacation io h short while. Whon wo got to our office, after offering him a chair, wo fat clown ami hej/an t?> 'Ms oust; tho matter. I said, "lfoctor, I aui liowilllflu for that editorial to ftp poar ss It i#, and I Mould like for you to .change it/" He r< p'if ?1. ??llnllcy, the editorial will <jo in v.< it. in '' f said, "It wMI no*." f said, ' Doctor, if you are not willing to change those name*, leave oft both names and uho the editorial 'we.1'' Ho again refused, and fluid that it would nit in as it wa?. I replied, "Doctor, if you will not drop the name, leave mine out" Ho again rcfuned morn emphatically tlian ?-ver before, saving that*"il will ^o in as it ia. and if you don't like what I do, sue tn" for damages" He turnud to U?ave th'? room, I said, "Doctor, Hob a#)), yon yielded that |>ojnt when yon ?aw that there would withou' thin he no consolidation'" He tut n<d around, wa'k-d V> i*'U to whore I was Mttintr, stood in my prenence, shook his licit in my fane most offensively, aud aaid, ?it io fal-e! 1 1 is false!" Still re maining in my chair, I looked at him and ?ntd, '-Dr. Ifobson, <lo you moan to call rno a liar?" Ho again very emphatically said, witli 1 is fiat still drawn in my f'lee, 4,lt ia false I It is a falsehood I" I then arose and stood before him and asked him a third time. 'Dr llol)?on, do you mean to call rno a liar?'* Again, with bin flat drawn in my face, ho said. "I'. is false 1 It is a false hood I" J struck him several time*, during which time I said, "Yon can not call me a liar, sir." I did not know hut what he wan going to strike me any moment, until be raised his hands and said. "Oh. Hrother llolley, X did not mean to say that you had told mo a falsehood, but that Ton hnd misconstrued my motive." 1 said to him, "l>r. Ilobsou, you can not call mo a liar, sir." IIo then pro I tested that lit: had not struck mo, land if f was not satisfied, 1 conhl j boat him more. A fter thin, I <lid not strike ii m again. Ah noon as 1 could command my reason I felt sorry that I had struck Dr Hobson, and took my hnnukercbief and offered to brush tho dust from his coat, and asked hint to talk the mat tor over with mo. He left the room, saying that ho would have tho police man Jock mo up unless 1 gave bond. Since this unfortunate occurrence, I havo made repented attempts to K"lth? this difficulty hotwecm Dr. Hohson and myself, but on every oc casino I have been rebufbd by him. Tuesday afternoon 1 wroto him a letter of ttpologv, and sent it by ft oo. red boy to Ids hoo^o, Some la'H' receive'! the letter and opened and 1 supposed read it.. When the colored boy returned, he stated that Dr Hobson was out, and that he had hft tho letter at the house. I in atrueted the boy to go and pot the letter and deliver it in person to Dr liobsr.n A ft?T a short time ho re turned with the letter, and staled that on handing it to Dr. llobson ho u ns ipH'Rtionrd n? to whom it v/as from. I he boy's reply was that it wai from i\ F r. Hoi ley, and he stated that i)c II oh ion refused to receive Uio letter from Mr. IIoll??y Wed ncsiliiy, through Mr. J. 1) Bog^p, of Orlando, 1 tn.ulo fiomo effort to set 1 1 o this mut'or, but fail* cl %> accom pi iMli anything. Thursday morning, 1 went. 'o Mr. McMillan's office, s nted to him t'iRt f was sorry that j 1 I ? r? <1 struck l)'r. Hohson, and that I I wanted him to deliver a message something like this, to liim; tluit I wm son v that 1 had struck htm, and 1 Hrirged his pardon nnd asked hip forgiven -kt. and plodded him my word that if ho would oomo hack into thq paper that 1 would try to make it plo.asvtw. for him Mr. McMillan tolla mo that ho drliverod this mo a sage. This Rune afternoon 1 learned that thiH matter had been placed in the hands of the trustees of th^ church. Thursday evening, I took the matter up with two of the trus torn. Kiii ay m^ruing win n I suw an account ?>f the acc'dont -to Hr.

I found that j nothing could done. 1 then up prouchod one of tho deacons, Mr j Wank Johnson, but found him mil j wili ng to discuss the matter Hi* .stilted to me that 1 would have no I opportunity o! presenting t li?> matter to the f.llU'iid members of tho church. On June 'Jlth I received a noto from tho dcaeonH of tho Kir.it H ?p tist. Church, of this city. rupmKting that. I appear before th/> hoard of descons. with a w:itten statemout of this whole affiir I replied that this proceeding wai irrogular. uiul that I did not ca-e to loud encouragement to Huohufrcmilaritios ; but. that if tho church dTmld appoint n committee, according to our church polity, I would ho glad to confer with i t ; also m this letter I stated that 1 was sorrv th ?t I had lo.d my temper and had st uck l>r. Hohson, and ha-1 bogged his pardon and asked bis forgivouesB. This statement was submitted to an informal meeting of deacons. 1 de clined to go before no official body, a-s no charges had boon preferred. O.i June 27th I was called before the deacons for tho purpose of pro ducing additional Information, which I complied with, substantiating tho points I had mndo before. At this meeting I Insisted that tho deacons req:i.?Kt l)r. Tlobsoh to como before them an 1 allow me to bog his par don nnd a*k hiR forgiveness. This reqaeet was refused. I then went to t.'r. Hobson'e offico and asked the privilege of a few words; but, as the tjn>t Cs of ti.o church weroiuses-j ?ii?u I rag again refused, with the statement from them that it thy ?ftw j tit tboy r.uuid call me.
