FRIGHTFUL AccIpEST.-Mr. John a
Wright. who lives near Peaksvilie, In this
county, left his home on Sunday morning
accompanied By two young ladies whom he
was accompanying to the south side Of the
county. On his return trip home, when
near the residence OF Mr.. j.. n. Early, his
horses became frightened and commenced
running at fearful rate. This wagon
was soon upset, and Mr.. Wright was
caught under the wagon-bed and drag
ged q considerable distance. Mr..
Early's attention was called to the
running team, who, accompanied by a
colored man, went to the rescue Of Mr..
Wright, and thus saved him from q fright
full death. On being relieved from his un.
comfortable position his injuries were found
to be quite numerous and Of quite serious
character. His right collar-bone was bro
ken, and the skin of the left hand was torn
back from the finger ends to the wrist, leav-
ing the veins and sinews of the hand in full
view; and it is thought that several OF his
ribs were broken; besides, his entire body
was more or less scratched and bruised in a
terrible manner. Bedford Sentinel.

AN INTERESTING DEMONSTRATING the
wear 1888 man named John Mckee died In
this city, and left his entire property, con-
sisting of real estate in Charleston, to the
Methodist Episcopal Church, the income
from the said property to be devoted to Ger
tain pious uses. At that time the Methodist
Episcopal Church throughout the country
was united; but in 1914 the organization
was divided-one division being known as
the Methodist Episcopal Church South,
and the other retaining the name OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church. All
OF the congregations in this city, OF
course, became members OF the former.
No claim on the Mckee property was
advanced by the Methodist Episcopal
Church North until eleven years later, in
1865. In that year suit was brought before
the Provost Court by certain trustees, re-
presenting the Methodist Episcopal Church,
claiming the property, and with the assist
ance of that court they were Put in pos
session of it. The whole matter was
brought before the joint commission OF the
two branches Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, which recently met at Cape May.
Thursday its adjudication was received. 1t
requires the whole Of this property, with
it's revenue, to be restored to the Methodist
Episcopal Church South.-ChGrleSton Is.

CINCINNATI COLORED CHRISTIANS.-1t Is
not many months since the congregation OF
Union Baptist (colored) church on Rich
mond and Mound streets elected new pas
tor to ill the pulpit that had been disgraced
by his immediate predecessor. The new
pastor, Rev. George Williams, came to the
city with an excellent record to recommend
him. He had filled Boston pulpit with
creditable success, was college graduate,
cultured gentleman, and, iii short, the
most scholarly and able minister by
far that had yet been called to the
pulpit OF colored congregation in
Cincinnati. 1t is necessary to OBJ
serve, however, that the congregation which
had endured the pastorate Of James Magee
naturally contained majority OF members
who were utterly unable to comprehend,
much less to properly appreciate, the char
acter OF George Williams. The old-fash-
ioned negro preacher had to be something
OF a politician; he had to talk about ode
publican ticket" and all that sort OF thing.
When they found Williams adverse to med
ding with politics it would seem that they
adopted various little schemes to force him
into a declaration of his views-such as
twice announcing him as Hayes and
Wheeler speaker-and finally succeeded in
compelling the peculiar correspondence be-
tween their pastor and one sibley, which
has already figured in the columns at the
Commercial, rather to the credit Of VIII
liams. Upon finding that Mr.. Will
| liams declared himself altogether indepen-
dent in politics, decrying the corruptions OF
both parties, while remaining an advocate OF
Republican principles, not the champion OF
the party, they became highly Disguised. 1t
is probable that they would have been
wholly incapable of understanding further
exposition Of Mr.. Williams's views, had he
chosen to give it; but without asking it
they seem to have secretly denounced him
as a Democrat and taken measures to Gust
him from the pulpit. A meeting was held,
at which Mr.. Apjones presided, and mo-
ton offered, we believe, by Colonel Harlan
to cancel the election Of Mr.. Williams to the
pulpit of the, Union Baptist church was ac-
tually entertained Cincinnati Commercial.
