FUNNY WAR IN A CHURCH.
Coal Bought With Money Raised AT .
Dance Threatens TO Cause Split.

PLAIxFrELp, ~. J., Jan. 6.-Much dis
sension has been aroused in the Mount
Olive Baptist church in this city over
q gift from the Broom Drill club. The
club gavo q public exhibition . few
nights ago and with the profits bought
several tons of coal and stocked the
bins in the cellar Of the church. On
Sunday morning, tho pastor, the Rev.
Franklin q. .Warnlck, heard OF the
source OF the supply OF coal and WAS
very angry. He said that coal that
came a. the result of an entertainment
where dancing WAS indulged should not
be used TO heat the house Of God. lie
denounced dancing in emphatic terms.
censured the club for its gift and de-
mandcd that the coal be removed al
once. The trustees Of the church, who
handle the finances. looked ON the gift
a. godsend and ordered the sexton 10
use the coal IN the furnace. AZ the
sexton draws his pay from them he
obeyed and refused 10 listen 20 the
pastors demands. The pastor de-
clared that the proceeding was dis
graceful and q warm and exciting war
of words ensued.
The congregation is about evenly
divided for and against tho pastor. and
split into two congregations is
threatened. The same church split two
years ago over the question Of expell-
ing girl who had eloped, and the old
pastor, the Rev. j. w. Mitchell.
founded a new church. The conserva-
tive members of Mount Olive are trying
TO patch up a peace and put an end 30
the discord, but thus far without suc-
cess.

According to the Chronicles review OF

have is placed in the front rank Of pro.
ducers OF the precious metals. The fact
that in this county no outside capital is
invested in its mines to any great ex.
tent and that 1t is far ahead OF all Others
in production, speaks volumes in their
favo The rines tor the past twenty
five years have produced millions Of dol
lars in gold and silver, and many OF the
best mines in davs gone by are now idle
and unworked, owing to the fact that
