Last Tuesday night II most delightful
"ve"ins ~"e spent nj Mr.. II. NJ Grimbalrs
residence, by the young dancers of town.
Signor Bosco and his wife gave three en-.
tertninments at Nicholsons Hall this week.
Rev. John M Carlisle.
We were glad to meet on our streets last
Saturday afternoon, Rev. John NJ. Caelisle,
looking we'll and hearty. Mr. Carlisle filled
the pulpit in the Methodist church Sunday
morning, much TO the qualification of the
con gregation, over which he was Shepherd
for years.
gD" Last sunday the Congregation of
the Marion Street Methodist church, of Co.
lumbia, tried found guilty and expelled Mr.:
Jackson Curtieigc. one of the dispensers
appointed for that city, under the dispcnsary
law, for violating article 2l3 of the church
law, which reads ms follows:
"Let all of our preachers and members
toxcating liquors to he used rs n beverage,
and if any shall engage in such manufacture
or sale let the discipline be administered as
in the case of immortality"
After reading the above article Rev. MI.
Elwell said that he would leave the snhiec.
with the church for their action: that they
had to determine whether or not MIR. Cart
ledge was selling liquor to be used SO bey-
cragc.
Mr. ". F. Williams took the floor and
said there was no use TO attempt to dodge
the issue. That they all knew that Mr.
Cartledge wos selliug liquor as a beverage,
and the fact that he was selling it for the
State was no excuse. lie said that
Dispcnsary liquor would make o man
drunk as quick rs barroom liquor and
that he knew that Mr.. Cartlcdgc sold
liquor TO men who are habtual drunk
ards and who are seen reeling through
the streets in drunkenness day by day. lie
knew oftwo cases which he could prove if
necessary. lie therefore moved that he
be declared rs acting in violation of the
church law.
The vote was taken rising and was unani-
nous. MIR. Elwcll then stated that it re-
mained for them TO say what penalty should
attach, whether he should be expelled or
only suspended for the time that he conrin.
vote expelled him summariiy, one of the
members stating that they had just as well
sit down on the thing once and for all.
yALILn KIRKLAND NEXT.
Mr.. Elwcll then stated that Brother Kirk
land would he tried on next Friday night for
the same offence. lie said that he would
be tried by the committee appointed for the
purpose, but as Mr.. Kirkland askci that the
trial be held publicly, his wishes would DC
granted and the public wcud be at liberty
TO attend. Mr.. Kirkland intends TO defend
himself.
MIR. TRAXLER TOO.
The church seems to have become very
much aroused on the subject. The Mctho-
dist church is not alone in its determination
10 enforce its rules with its members.
The Baptist church at Tinmonsvil!c is
after State Dispenser Traxlcr, who gave the
matter his most praycriul consideration be-
fore he would accept the position Of Chief
Tapstcr. 1t is understood that be has been
called upon to choose between the position
and his church, TO which no has heretofore
been so loyal Columbia JoWn0l.
