DOCTOR CHAPMAN WRITES.
To the Editor of the Intelligencer.
"The st. Louis Christian Advocate
q the organ of the Methodist church In tn
state. 1t issued q special commencement
edition for Central n Howard Payn
colleges, at FAyette, but did not 90 niue
as contain a local notice Of any length {
Central Female Colleges grand clOsin
ceremonies. This IL discrimination tbs
is a little tiresome to the frieads Of th
best institution OF learning controlled b
d the Methodist church In Missouri."-T
Lexington INTELLIGENCER.
r The above does very grave injustice I
q the Advocate, as we'll as to me, PERSONAL.
and l ask in simple justice that you pub
lish this explanation. As O - v
decided to bring out q college edition

r Hammond, offering to insert q half pag
advertisement of his college, and to CIV
him from one and q half to two column
OF space to write q history Of his colleg'
and OF the commencement exercises. H
did not reply to my letter, although
e asked him to please let mt near from hill
as soon as possible. l then wrote 10 hi
again, offering him the whole OF tk
front page, n as much space a. !
wished, but l still received no answe
from him. June 20 l met him at Fayettt
and, after some urging, he finally agree
3 to send mi what l wished. But the maj
y ter did not come, and / dispatched to hi
for 1t, and held the paper until l coul
hear ron him. 1 finally received ii
y advertisement, but he wrote me that
n did not have the other matter ready, b,
would send 1t the following week, whic
would do Just as well. The Rev. q. \
Bishop sent the delayed article, and
was published in the issue OF July 4, Il
a first issue after it was received.
