The warrant for Nancy Washington,
charging her with assault and striking
W. r. Mobiles. was the first called out Of

trouble, so that the Justice disposed of
all at one hearing.
The anti-Payneites claim that the pas
tor rules IN an arbitrary manner, and
that no one can be heard unless he is OF
the Payne faction. The pastor and his
friends claim that out Of 100 members
there are about twenty-five malcOntentj

business meeting Of the church and turn
cd into a general free fight, which caused
six warrants TO be issued.
The courtroom was exceedingly crowd

heard prolonged the trial until o'clock.
Payne was represented by Mr. George
J.. Wise and the minority faction by Mr..
H. NJ. Smith. Jr.
Charges. it seemed. had been made at
the deacons' meeting against the Rev.
Payne. but when the report was made TO
the church the charges were conspicuous
~ left out. Several members objected to
the report without the charges. and Rev.
Payne, who was presiding, ruled them
out OF order. This preciptated matters.
Nancy Washington and ". r.. Nobies
exchanged blows and Nancy proved her
self the better fighter Nancy's husband
also tried TO strike Mobiles with q stick,
but was prevented from doing 50 by No
bless friends.
After many witnesses had testified ana

that from the conflicting testimony no
conclusion could be reached as 20 the
truth. and dismissed ali the warrants.
