"A new denomination of the eoiored
Me,hodists, styled the Southern Methodist
Church, has been started at Atlanta, Georgia,
by members Of the regular ,olored Metho-
dist Church, which extends all over tho
country. They allege as . cause for separa-
tion that the burdens inflicted upon them BY
she national church were unequal and unjust,
and they complain that they do not get
fair share of the honors and privileges. There
are, they say, six colored bishops in tho
church, every one of whom lives in the
North, and they require each of the two
colored Methodist conferences in Georgia to
pay 81, 500 year, or SO. 900 between them.
The bishops seldom come South, and the re-
formers cay "thcy do no good when they
come. but only ask for money" 1t Is de-
olarad that they get nearly $50, 900 year
from all the colored Methodists in the South,
though it is not asserted that they use all
this fund for themselves. The Atlanta re-
formers announce purpose to labor earuest>
ly to support and extend the new church
organization.

A MAN MIsslNG.-The Highland Re
corder says that sit is reported that a man
by the name of Flanagan. from Charleston,
W. Va, who has been repairing sewing ma
chimes, etc., through Highland county for the
past month, is missing and cannot be found.
1t is said that he had considerable sum Of
money when last SEEN"
We rather think the Recorder has got
things badly mixed in the above article, rs
there never was a man named Flanagan, re-
siding in this place. Perhaps he is from
Charlestown, in this State.

GStill wrong. No such man from Charles.
