REV. .JOHNSONS' DIFFICULTY.

A call meeting was held on
Friday night May 4th ; all members
of the 4th Bapt. church were called
together to take action concerning
the great scandal that has been
circulated CONGO rning the pastor,
Rev. Robert Johnson, of said
church and Miss Cora Pinkney.
The meeting was called to order at
s O'Clock by the moderator, Rev.
johnson. He stated the object of
the meeting, as follows:
There have been many scanda-
lous and ridiculous rumors circu-
lated in regard to myself and Miss
G. Pinkney and / think it is proper
and lawful that this church inves.
tigate the same and l demand that
the church should have a cousid-
GRAFTON at once. One member arose
and moved that committee of %
should be appointed and make
necessary inquiry and summon
persons to appear before the COM
mlttee. The moderator objected
to the motion, as that would leave
it all in his power, but stated that
he wanted to appoint half of the
committee and let the church ap.
point the other half; which propo-
sition was agreed to. The modera-
tor appointed his half and the
church was asked if they we're sat-
isfed. ALI were satisfied and the
same question was aske when the
church made their appointment.
The vote on the selections was un-
animous. The moderator then in
vited any member of his church or
any other church or any responsible
citizen, who has any charges to
prefer or know any thing concern.
ing this scandal, can appear before
this committee on Wednesday
night May 9, at 8 o'clock at the
4th Bapt. church.
The committee was further in
structed to send for persons and
papers and report in full all their
factions to the called meeting On
Friday night May 18th.
The committees are as follows :
PASTORS COMMITTEE:
Edward johnson, w. S. Trice,
Rubin Pennington, Chas. Parker,
Geo. Watts, Geo. r. Robinson,
Mary Nc. .Farland, Lizzie Lee, EN-
ma McGruder, L. White, Jose
phine Cook and Mary Day.
CHURCH COMMITTEE:
Isaac Roberts, VIM. Borne, Jno.
Holcomb, Fred. Jackson, Henry
Armstead, J. w. Henderson, Rich
ard Washington, Ellen Gordon,
Lucy Jordon, Katie Coleman, An
ME Daily, Annie Cady and Mildred
Hickman. The meeting last night
had not terminated before the
BEES report closed, but full partic-
ulars will appear next week.

in the matter and would do any
thing be could for the ladies, but
they would not sing for him aud
"t0 be consistent" be must refuse
to sing for them. Isgain remind
ed him that retaliation was the
proper word to use In describing
his course, but be persisted in the
use OF the word consistent"
apparently..without any, idea as to
the real meaning.
Miss Handy and DR.. Uuhaw
were both asked by Miss.
Nalle, to sing but declined. Miss
Handy stated that she refused
because Mrs. Waring and Mrs.
Mckinney refused to sing for Mr..
Layton's benefit. Other members
of the choir were asked but they
all refused to give any assistance
because the ladies refused to sing
for Prot. Layton. It was of no
consequence that Mrs. Waring
and Mrs. Mckinney had sung for
the church on several occasions;
this single refusal to sing for the
benefit of an individual member
of the church was sufficient TO
cancel whatever obligation there
was in favor of the ladies'. I make
this statement in justice to the
management who labOred only
for the success of the concert, be-
lieving then, as they still believe
that both the ladies had faithfully
earned the gratitude Of the entire
community.
This statement would have been
made the week following your
inquiry but my associates thought
it best not to antagonize any
element that might endanger our
cause. / doubted the wisdom OF
such a cause and subsequent degel-
opments have not altered my
opinion.
Very respectfully
r. w. Tompkins.

and full of valuble facts which
should have been heard by a
larger audience, and especially
those who are endeavoring to
obtain a home. The speaker
gave a brief history of the
association, and showed conclu-
sively why it should be sustained
by the colored people. At pres
ent, he said, the monthly income
of the Association was 81, 900,
and with a population of $4,000
colored people, the member
ship of the association should be
increased to 10000 which would
enable the share holders to build
halls for the oolored people,
houses, and aid those who have
lots with no houses on them. DR..
+. j. Shadd was the next speaker,
and said he was very much
interested in the association and
now was the time. for the coIOred
people to secure homes of their
own instead of renting from
prejudiced agents. He commented
on the removal of Collector Cook
and thought that his rem. 'val
was disgrace. DR.. Purvis said,
that the removal of MIR. Cook
was a calamity to the colored
people; that he had handled over
$41 100000 with out the loss OF
one cent, which showed the Ne.
gro's capability of handling money
He said that he wanted to see the
colored people united aud sup
port their own institutions; thai
be employed a colored man to dc
all his legal and real estate bus
iness, and thought that the
masses of the colored people
should do likewise; that there was
too much money spent in dress
frolic etc., cigars and tobacco
were injurious; that he would no
advise anybody to marry mar
who drank. Money and property
are what the colored people neee
which would demand respect
Prof. Geo. W. Cook endorsed tn,
association and thought tina
every colored person shoult
become members. Mr.. j. w
Cromwell spoke of how the asso
citation struggled for existanc
until it reached a successful issue

program, which was prepared by

directress, aided by the committee
on arrangements, MT. FL. O. Smith,
chairman, Misses Lizzie Mason,
l.. o. Cooper, MT. and Mrs. Austin
Fickling. The chairman of the
committee of arrangements, made
a brief statement as to the oppo-
sition the society had met with by
certain members of the church; that
the Society was organized for the
purpose of aiding the church, but
there is a lack of appreciation and
a secret opposition to enlighten-
ment which will ultimately result
in the disbandment of the organi-
zation. After these remarks, the
president Mr. w. Calvin Chase,
announced the program. Piano

Mr. E0ltOr:-
In a recent issue
of your paper, referring to the
Warring-McKenney testimonial
you ask the question "Why is it
that among the list of singers who
will take part in the benefit, nc
mention has been made of any
member or members of the Met.
ropolitan church choir?" You
were confident that Mr.. Layton.
Miss Handy, DR.. Upshaw and
others of the choir would gladly
render all the assistance in theil
power to add to the success of the
enterprise. This, you thought,
Was especially true of Mr.. Layton
as the public had but recently
literally patronized a concert for
his benefit and he would certainly
show his gratitude by aiding this
testimonial. 1 thought just as
you did until Mr.. Layton positive
ly refused to assist either Mrs.
Waring or Mrs. Mckinney, CIV.
as reason therefor, that they
both refused to sing at his benefit.
| reminded him that both of these
ladies gave excellent reasons for
their refusals. Mrs. Waring was
engaged to sing at three concerts
for which she was making active
preparations and could not possibly
spare the time for another. AS
this was Mrs. Warnings principal
means of support it was thought
that any reasonable person would
have cons dered it sufficient cause
for declining. Mrs. McKinney's
infant child was very sick at the
time Mr.. Layton asked her tc
sing and she gave that as reason
for declining to assist him. Mr.,
Layton said to me that he did moi
think the caus,s assigned by the
ladies were ot sufficient import.
ance to justify their refusing te
sing for HIM and so he must, 10 be
consistent, declir losing for them
told him that his refusal looked
to me like retaliation and was not
at all CONSTANT with generosity
or christianity. I further told
him that these ladies were moi
working up this concert as he did
his. That the friends whose
Jealous labors made his testi
monial success were managing
this one and from them came this
requ st to him and not from Mrs.
Waring and Mrs. Mckinney
who knew nothing of the move.
ment uriil the plans had been
fully matured. He felt grateful
to those friends, be said, and
would do anything he could to
aid them but he could not sing fol-
this concert. He had no feeling
