Clarence, Mo., Sept. 6.?A letter written by Rev. H. Norwood Johnson to a young woman of his congrega tion and a letter written to the minister by Oscar Callison, an official of the church, it is believed, are the causes of the pastor's sudden withdrawal from the Southern Methodist ministry and his departure from Clarence. "God knows my sin," was Johnson's explanation. In a letter to the presiding elder he wrote: "I have not been guilty of immorality, but injudicious conduct through correspondence." Johnson's "injudicious" letter, it is said, was written to a young woman who showed marked admiration for him and was a frequent caller at his home. The letter was found by the woman's sister and was shown to Callison. He wrote the minister later. Hosiery Mill Matter.

Pensacola, Sept. 5.?Nails driven into pine trees "boxed" for tunpentine are said to be the cause of the bloody feud between the Cooleys and ? the Gays in Santa Rosa county, which has so far resulted in the death of ^ three of the Cooleys. A member of the Cooley family ^ leased turpentine timber to the Gays h and when the first nails were found one accused the other of doing the j, work. It is said that the nails were Vj driven by the children. The objec- ^ tion to the nails in turpentine trees is j that when the "chipper" strikes a nail while at work the hack, an axe-like instrument, is broken. ^ . The nails led to much talk of shooting and recently Dan Gay saw ^ a Cooley riding with a shotgun on his arm near the Gay commissionary. Gay shot and killed Cooley, but the coroner's verdict was justifiable horn- ? icide. j ^ On Friday of last week Arch and Alf Cooley were killed in ambush. Gay and Walter Rivenbark were ar- ^ Ci rested last night, charged with assault and with intent to kill James Cooley, a brother of Dan.
