DISPENSARY BUILT CHURCH
" 'TIS TRUE 'TIS PITY, AND
PITY 'TIS, 'TIS TRUE."
Methodist Officials Accept Dispensary
Money for Church at Livingston.
The Orangeburg Evening News
says that the story which was printed
in that paper in regard to the church
at Livingston being erected with
money donated by the town of Livingston,
which were profits of the
dispensary, has caused a good deal
' of comment. Many have been talking
of the story and in last week's issue
of the Southern Christian Advocate
there appears a denial that such was
the^ case, and calls upon the Methodist
preachers in this section to explain.
As a result of this editorial in
the Advocate, Rev. C. B. Smith,
presiding elder of this district, has
formulated a reply, setting rortn tne
matter as far as he is concerned, and
says that the story is in the main
part true. The reply of Rev. Smith
is as follows:
Concerning the Livingston Church.
Your editorial in last week's issue
of the Advocate on this matter makes
necessary a reply from me. I am
loath to appear in any such role, but
justice, both to the church and myself,
calls for this. That this leaven
vr y of unrighteousness should reach into
the church is not to be wondered at.
It is an easy step from the sordid inV
iquity of educating our children with
' funds gotten from the debauchery of
our fellow men to that of doing
church work with the same.
The Facts in the Case.
The reports as set forth in the
WK newspapers are largely true. But the
onus of the affair is not properly
placed. The church as I understand
it, was built in the town of Livingston
with the proceeds of the
dispensary money with the underP
standing and consent of a majority
of the members of Hebron church,
which church, the one at Livingston
was to replace, that it would be accepted
as a Methodist church. Steps
were taken for the building in 1907,
and it is now about completed.
Tlie cnurcn s ran in me ah air.
Brother J. A. Graham, the then
pastor, told me on Sunday, July 12,
19 08, \ that he had brought the matter
to the attention of his presiding
i-v elder the year before, and that his
elder told him to accept the money
| ^for the church. He did so, and pros';
ceeded with the work on that authority.
My Part in the Affair.
At the quarterly conference held
at Hebron, Saturday, July 11, 1908,
on request of the pastor, Bro. Gra;
ham, a building committee was apv
pointed. I was then in ignorance of
the state of the case. The next day, :
Sunday, Bro. Graham gave me the
facts as stated above and asked my ,
opinion. I replied that I was opposed ;
to the whole thing, and that it would j
work incalculable injury to the .
~ church or Christ. Bro. L. E. Wig- '
gins, the present pastor, stands with
. - me in my opposition to the scheme.
Contrary to the State Constitution. ]
The town authorities of Livingston
cannot donate the funds accru- i
ing from the dispensary or any other ]
source to any church or church enterprise.
The constitution of the ]
State is very explicit on this point. J
Art. u, sec. y, reaas: ine prop- ?
erty or credit of the State of South l
Carolina, or of any county, or of any i
city, town, township, school district, <
or other subdivision of said State, or s
any public money from whatever 1
source derived, shall not by gift, donation,
loan, contract, appropriation, i
or otherwise, be used directly or in- <
directly in aid or maintenance of any 1
college, school, hospital, orphan i
house, or other institution, or society 1
or organization of whatever kind, <
which is wholly or in part under the i
direction or control of any church or I
of any religious or sectarian denom'?
ination, society or organization. ?
This phase of the question is left <
to the town authorities of Living- I
ston to settle. ?
We Cannot Accept.
x We cannot accept this church for
two reasons. First, because it is il- j
. legal, contrary to the constitution of g
the State, and even if we had taken j
any steps to this end, that part of ]
the constitution referred to above ^
would render such steps null and
void. At least that is my construction
of it. Next it is contrary to the
spirit and judgment of the Methodist
church. By no act of mine could i
I consent that it should be accepted c
formally as the property of the c
ATofhrkrlict ohnrnh Sn far no 1
has been held in it by a Methodist
preacher. That no Methodist preacher
shall ever preach in it while I am
on the district is not for me to say.

STORY CAUSES COMMENT.
The Livingston Church Affair Generally
Discussed.
The facts of the story of the Livingston
church erected by dispensary
profits printed in the Evening News
have been verified, and they remain
substantially as set forth. The church
was erected under the direction of a
bulding committee appointed by the
Methodist church, and is now very
near completion. The pews have
[just about reached the town, and according
to good authority were paid
for by recent profits of the dispensary.
The story has been commented
upon widely. Not only have the
comments come from this section,
but papers in Georgia have reprinted
the story, and one, an Augusta paper,
printed a half column editoriial
on the affair, headed "The Devil's
Money To Build -Churches." The
story was also printed by Atlanta pa
pers, and now comes a denial on the
part of the editor of the Southern
Christian Advocate. This is useless,
however, as the reply to the article
by Rev. Smith will show. The
church was erected by money donated
by the town council of Livingston
accrueing from the dispensary
profits, and is in itself against the
constitution of the State.
It is stated in the original article
that the members of the church had
agreed to furnish a certain sum, but
it was learned this morning on good
authox-ity that the members of the
church have never contributed one
cent towards the erection of the
church, and that the church was
erected out of the dispensary money
wholly.
It is true that the church has not
yet been accepted by the Methodist
church, but the erection of the
church was under the supervision
of a building committee composed
of members of the Methodist church
which the new church was to replace,
and this is proof that it was
for the Methodist church when the
building started. There is a question,
now, however, since the matter has
been published, if the church will
ever be dedicated as a Methodist
church, or as a church of any denomination
for that matter, as it is
contrary to Art. 11 and Sec. 9 of the
constitution of the State, for public
money to be used in this direction.
Rev. Smith, when seen in regard
to the matter, said that so far as he
was concerned the section of the constitution
above mentioned would settle
the entire matter.?Orangeburg

Negroes Give Trouble.
Columbia, Feb. 5.?Magistrate R.
Lebby Clement, of Wadmalaw Island,
Charleston county, was in the city today
with a very surprising story of a
condition of affairs on his island. He
has been magistrate there for several
years, having been appointed by Tillman
when he was governor.
T otolv tho nnnctahlAc ho has an. I

He has lost two within
the past few months and the two he
now has have received a warning
from the "Black Hand Society" on
the island that their time is near at
hand if they do not give up their
positions.
Besides this, the barns and buildings
on 'two of Magistrate Clement's
places have been burned.
He is determined to ferret out the
perpetrators of the crime, if possible,
and to this end has secured private
ietectives and comes here to get the
governor to offer rewards for information
leading to the "parties guilty
>f the recent crimes." He jvill personally
duplicate the reward offered
jy the governor.
The situation on the island is
-eally alarming. Magistrate Clement
attributes it to a secret organiza:ion
of the negroes, who greatly outlumber
the whites. There were 43
ahite men on the island in Republican
times, and over 1,200 negroes
lsed to vote and the latter number is
greatly increased now.

FOUR ARRESTS FOR MURDER
PROMINENT MEN TAKEN BY
SHERIFF OF DORCHESTER.
In Jail at St. George on Warrants Accusing
Them of Assassination of
Pressley Reeves.
News was received here yesterday
to the effect that four white men of
prominence in Dorchester county had
been arrested yesterday on the
charge of being implicated in the assassination
of Pressley Reeves on the
23rd of last September.
Gov. Ansel, with the co-operation
of Mr. R. Lon Weeks, of St. George,
and Solicitor P. T. Hildebrand, has
had secret service men at work on
the case for some time. Their report
was submitted last week and thereon
were issued the warrants which
caused the arrest of these persons
yesterday. The nature of the evidence
could not be learned last
night, but it appears that it is quite
strong.
The 'phone message stated that
the men under arrest are E. O. Arrant,
A. H. McAlhaney, Thomas S.
Fairey and L. E. Reeves, the latter
being a distant relative of the deceased.
They were arrested by Sheriff
Owens and special deputies from Columbia,
who had been sent down to
assist in case of trouble. The arrests
were made upon warrants sworn out
by the father of the assassinated
young man, who bases his charges
"upon information and belief."
The sheriff and deputies and their
prisoners arrived in St. George in the
afternoon and the men in arrest were
placed in the county jail. They will
insist upon having a preliminary at
once, but it is doubtful if they can ;
get it before Monday. It is stated
that they have employed as counsel
Mr. J. A. Hiers, of St. George.
The killing occurred 10 miles
northwest of St. George, in the Cattle >
Creek section. The town of St. <
George is said to have been greatly
stirred over the arrests yesterday,
and public sentiment is reported to
be strongly in favor of finding and
punishing the assassin of Pressley i
Reeves?if the guilty man can be ;
found. i
E. O. Arrant is a man 52 years of ]
age, and is said to have had stood '
well in his community. The others
are young men of about 30 or 33
each. It is stated that a warrant was i
to be served on C. D. McAlhaney and
that he co >ld not be found, but that i
he will be apprehended Saturday.
The State's correspondent at St.
George says that there has been a
kind of feud in the Cattle Creek
neighborhood for a number of years
and that Reeves was not at all popular
there. Furthermore, when he received
the appointment as game warden,
it aggravated and intensified the
feeling against him, for there has
been on the Edisto river an utter
disregard of the laws regulating the
catching of fish, and Reeves was
warned that his life would be put in
danger if he should make himself active
in the effort to enforce the law.
A gentleman in Columbia who is
familiar with the details of the killing
yesterday gave the State the following
summary of the case:
Some time ago six men were seen
walking across lands cultivated by
young Reeves. He gave them warning
not to do so any more. However,
it was but a few days later that some
of the same persons stole his watch
from his coat, which was hanging on
a persimmon tree, while Reeves was ,
in the field. A negro saw the theft,
it is said.
Reeves was greatly incensed and
had the men arrested. Just about
tfeot he* trnt hfa nnnnintmpnt as *
game warden from the State of c
South Carolina and that served to in- 1
crease his unpopularity, for he was J
active in the effort to enforce the J
law. J
On the afternooft of the 23rd of ]
September he had taken a wagon 1
load of cotton pickers home and was c
returning to his home. While some 1
distance from his home he was met a
by an assassin, who, from behind a '
tree, poured into his body a death- a
dealing load of buckshot. So close a
was the assassin to his. victim that *
the wadding from the shells was ?
found in the wounds. It was further f
found that the wadding corresponded
with that in shells of an unusual kind
bought at St. George by two of the t
men whom Reeves had warned away f
from his place and later had had ar- s
rested on the other charge. t
When he was shot by the assassin, t
for there appears to have been but I
one man who did the actual deed of ^
stealth, Reeves fell back dead in his e
wagon and the mules carried him I
home. It was not difficult to find *
where in the road he was shot, and
close by was found the tree behind
which the assassin stood. Thence the
assassin walked 100 yards to a place r
where his mule was tied. Dogs trail- i
ed the man, but would not take the c
trail of the mule. r
T+ 1 /J aI Ka 1 qo r?r> a/1 Qtr?_ T
dence the officers of the law have, but I
among other circumstances are t
threats which are said to have been 1
made. The arrest of these men was
not an entire surprise to them, for, \
while they did not know the exact p
date, they did kn^>w that they were s
under suspicion, and it has been rumored
that they would try to present g
an alibi defense.?The State. a

Negro Stole Locomotive.
Americus, Ga., Feb. 6.?While a 1
Central railway freight train was 8
standing in the Smithville yards here ?
a strange negro mounted the detach- 1
ed locomotive during the absence of *
the engineer and pulled the throttle 8
open. The fireman was beneath the *
locomotive making some repairs and c
barely escaped death by pulling him- 8
self up on the driving rods, while the
engine speeded toward Dawson. The c
fireman worked his was cautiously to- 1
ward the cab and at sight of him the J
negro leaped from the flying engine t
and ran. Crowds of citizens were 8
quickly in pursuit and the desperado *
was captured and jailed. s
The engine ran half a mile before a
it was stopped by the fireman. c
"WANT TO KILL ME."
S. C. Prisoner Wants to Come Back
Armed.
Atlanta, Feb. 6.?"Leave off the
handcuffs and give me a gun; then
I'll go back to South Carolina without
any requisition papers or habeas
corpus."
That was the response made by
Munce DeLoach, of Atlanta, when arrested
upon request of the sheriff at
Saluda, S. C., and told that he was
wanted there for shooting two men
more than ten years ago.
DeLoach knew that his request
wpuld not, could not, be granted, but
that was the only condition, he said,
under which he would willingly go
back to South Carolina for the pur
pose of standing trial. Because of
that fact he has instituted habeas
corpus proceedings, through his attorney,
J. A. Branch, which are being
heard by Judge Reid, of the city
court.
According to DeLoach, the shooting
for which he is wanted occurred
more than ten years ago and was the
result of feudal enmity which had
smoldered and blazed alternatively in
the breasts of his family and that of
thb Gillians.
Finally, he decided that it was time
either to settle the matter peaceably
once and for all or to fight it out and
put an end to it. He went, he says,
to see the Gillians, told them how he
felt and they agreed that it should be
settled peaceably and they all took
supper together.
"After supper," says DeLoach, "we
all went up the road together, tne
two Gillians and I. Once I turned
and one of the men was slipping up '
on me with a knife. A fight followed
and two of them were shot, but not 1
killed."
DeLoach decided it would be best
for him to leave. He came to Atlanta,
secured employment under his
own name, made no effort at con- *
cealment, finally married, and now :
hoo o fomJIv an<1 ia omnlnvaH ass a '
foreman in one of the local cotton 1
factories. 1
"They have known where I was all
the time," said DeLoach. "They
know they can not convict me and
3ome of them had said they would
kill me if I am ever carried back.
That's what they want! They don't
want to try me."
DeLoach says it is fifteen miles
from the railroad station to the jail 1
where he will be carried if sent back, 1
and he says he will be killed before
he gets there if he is not given a
chance to defend himself. That's
why he says he is not willing to go
back unless they take off his hand- ,
cuffs and give him his gun. Then, he
3ays he will go willinglyj^hd take his j
chances. <
DeLoach doesn't look like a "bad \
man," but at the same time he has t
the appearance of a man who would j
aot flinch when death faced him, and t
it is a safe bet that if granted his re- .
juest and allowed to go back "with
lis gun" he would be amply able to
take care of himself. Since his resiience
in Atlanta DeLoach has been
i hard worker and a peaceable citizen.
Governor Smith has been notified
;hat a requisition for the man will
ce forwarded at once, but the papers
lave not been received. The goverlor
will fully investigate the case be'ore
the requisition is honored.

NEGROES THREATENED.
Colored Carpenters Warned by Night
Riders to Quit Work on Depot.
Waycross, Ga., Feb. 7.?Considerable
excitement was caused at Pearson,
a small station thirty miles
northwest of Waycross, this morning
when it became known that five negroes
employed by the Atlantic Coast
Line in building a new depot at that
place had received warnings from
self-styled "night riders" to leave the
community forthwith or death would
be meted out to them. Two notices
were received by the negro carpenters,
as follows:.
"You negro carpenters. We give
you until Saturday night to leave
here under penalty of death.
(Signed) "Night Riders."
The depot at Pearson was burned
on October 10, and the origin of the
fire is declared to have been incendiary.
Special agents of the Atlantic
Coast Line have arrived there to in
iar luicaio ui iuc Dv-vancu
"night riders," and it is announced
that arrests will probably follow
within a few days.
Negress Slain at Hampton.
Hampton, Feb. - 7.?Eliza Robertson,
colored, was killed here early
this morning by#her alleged paramour,
Dan Robertson. The killing
was accomplished under very unusual
circumstances, and the method used
was shocking. Dan Robertson has
for some time been threatening the
woman, and early this morning he
dragged her from their house, one
hundred yards to the railroad, evidently
with the intention of putting
her body on the track, and there beat
her brains out with an iron pin and
cut her throat from ear to ear. In
the fight for her life, the woman succeeded
in cutting Robertson in a number
of places. Robertson, thinking
that it would be the safest plan, went
to the office of Dr. C. A. Rush to be
"mended," and the physician immediately
notified Chief of Police Fennell,
who "nabbed" the slayer. At
the inquest to-day Robertson confessed,
saying that he killed Eliza in selfdefense.
He is now safely tucked
away in the county jail.
Robertson is a desperate character,
and is wanted at Beaufort, at which
place he is known as Dan Wright; at
Savannah, where he is known as Dan
Arnold, and at Scotia, where he is
known as Dan Polite. He will be tried
here at the approaching term of
court, which begins on the 15th of
this month.
Methodist Church Burned.
Jonesville, Feb. 7.?New Hope
Methodist church, two miles south of
Jonesville, was burned dow'n to-day
just after the morning service. The
Bre started in the top of the house,
caused from a defective flue. The
insurance carried on the house was
iibout $600, which is about threefourths
the value of the building. The
teats and organ were saved.
