Gone on Before.

One of the saddest deaths that has
| occurred in Richmond for a long time
/; was that of Miss Maggie Boiling, who
| died in Cumberland Co, Va, Saturday.
March 18th, 1908, where she was engag-
ed in teaching.
Her illness was only of about two
| weeks, but the cold contracted was so
deep that medical skill failed to do her
any good.
Her mother, Mrs. George Boiling.
| and Mrs Mamie Q. John son, reached her
bedside two days after she was stricken
down and care aly and faithfully nurs-
ed her until the end came.
Her suffering was intense. She pro
fessed faith in Christ Thursday morn
ing, March 18th, and sang '.Oh, how 1
love, Jesus" and other beautiful hymns.
i She also sent messages of love to other
| members OF her family, after which her
| soul took its flight to God who gave it.
Away from home, among strangers
| falling at her post of duty-her case
was indeed a pathetic onel
Her life, though short, had been well
spent. She had build a monument of
honor in the hearts of the people of that
| community which time cannot efface.
The words OF praise for her beautiful
| character and influence exerted, were on
eye-y tol,fsI,e 70 confer. he- grief st-;cl-
| en- mother in her sad bereavement
Supt. O. w. Dickerson said she was the
best teached they had ever had in that
that county.
The kindness shown by him, DIR.
Snead, Mrs. Norris and neighbors both
white and colored will ever be fondly
remembered and appreciated by her
mother
| The funeral took place at the First
| Baptists Church Tuesday afternoon,
| March 18th. The church was filed
with friends of the family. Never have
we seen a more beautiful display of
| floral offerings, two tables besides the
easket was covered with lovely designs.
| The handsome white velvet casket was
borne by Messrs. Silas Shackelford,
Walter Jones, James Rutledge, Daniel
Adams, Rienza Lemus and Charles
Richardson, while Messrs Washington
Scott James Easley, Christopher Fos-
ter. James Eravser, Luke hughes aud
! Willie Wilson were the honorary pail
| bearers
Rev w. T. Johnson preached an able
| sermon from Psalms 90:6 verse. James
4:l4 verse. Rev. S. @. Burrell offered
| up fervent prayer. The choir render
| ed sweet music. The solos .'The Land
of Beulah' by Madame Cross, and
"The Christians Good night" by Mad
anne @. Hawkins, were especially touch
! ing. The congregation sang "Oh, How
L Love Jesus" Excelsior Court, 1. O.

Matter Must Be Settled in
Court.

Petersburg, Va, March % --(Spe-
D and serene at the
Har ,ioredl Rantist church
at the A--urD I'D IA yht services YES
terdayi but it was quiet and serenity
enforced by the strong arm of the law.
The two contending factions of the con-
gregatlon, both strong and each claim
ing to be In the majority, and TO enjoy
the legal control of the church, are still
at daggers' points. All efforts to bring
about a compromise and to avoid a
scandal in the church have signal!y
failed. and now the case goes into court
for settlement where the troubles will
be fully aired.
Two weeks ago q part of the congre-
cation rebelled against certain acts of
their pastor, the Rev. Ellis Watts, and
the board of deacons. and mo-ed both
the pastor and the deacons from office.
A new board Of deacons was elected and
1t is said the trustees sympathized with
this movement. Feeling ran very high,
and TO prevent trouble the church, by
agreement, was not opened for service
last Sunday. Counsel was engaged by
each side, and efforts were made to
bring about a satisfactory settlement,
but without avail
Saturday it was announced by the re-
belling faction that the church would
be opened for services Sunday, with
preaching by the Rev. p. r. Berry.
But they reckoned wrongly, and their
determination came to naught.
Saturday evening, on petition of the
Rev. Ellis Watts and the removed dea-
cons, an injunction was issued hy
Judge E. O. Minor, of the law and equity
court of Richmond, enjoining and re-
straining the trustees, the new board of
deacons. the church clerk, the sexton,
their agents and associates from hold
ing services in the church until the fur
ther order of the corporation court of
Petersburg.
The injunction further restrains the
defendants from interfering with the
plaintiffs in the discharge Of their re-
speetive duties as the pastor and dea-
cons of the church, and from doing any
act IN furtherance of their purpose to
treat the plaintiffs as no longer the pas
tor aEd deacOns of the church.
The injunction order was served Sat
urday night on the defendants, and
Sunday morning appeared the an
nouncement that services would be held
by Rev. Ellis Watts and the old dea-
cons. A fairly good congregation at
tended both services and among those
present were Chief-of- Police Ragland,
Lieutenant Donahue and several other
Hofhcers to see that the order of the court
was respected. Everything passed OFF
3auietly.
A large crowd of colored people, ap-
bearently of the anti-Watts faction, as
sembled some distance away from the
3chnrch, but they were orderly and offer
ed no trouble.
Counsel for the Watts faction are
Hamlinton & Mann and Bernard Town
send; for the opposing faction, George
Mason. The defendants are expected
to file Their answer in the matter in the
corporation court without delay.
Harrison Street church has 2, 800 mem.
bers. The troubles that have arisen
have caused wide comment among the
colored people of the community.

A Prominent Citizen Gone.
Charlottesville, Va,

Charlottesville, Va,
March Gath, 1908.
This community was shocked ON last
Monday 10th of March, at the death of
Mr.. VIM. Barcus, one of our best known
and highly respected citizen, who was
only sick short time at his home 800
South 5th st.
A few days before his death he was
taken with pneumonia. and before his
wife and daughter could realize the SER
iousnes of his condition he had sunk
beyond medical reach, so all efforts to
restore him TO health failed. The rest
of the fsmily were quickly summoned,
but arrived after he had departed this
life.
Mr.. Barcus has been q chief cook by
profession in many of the hotels of the
city since 1865. and was highly respect
ed by all who knew him. His funeral
took place from the Ebenezer Baptist
Church at O'Clock Wednesday, March
18th, 1903. The pastor, Rev. A, b.
Coleman, was assisted by Revs. r. b.
Hardy, j. Olias and r. O. Quarles.
He leaves a wife, daughter and four
sons to mourn their lost, and a host of
relatives and friends,

liant spirit on the part of both pastor

quently large and enthusiastic congre-

Fourth Annual Meeting of the Nation

tal-a chs liberty Of asking the use OF
the 1us OF your valued newspaper
to remind Our people about the fourth
annual meeting of the National Negro
Business lie: que to be held in Nash
vile, Tenn, during the coming sum-
mer. The colored people of Nashville
have already begun making thorough
and elaborate preparations for
the meeting of the League, and
from every point of view
the next gathering promises to be the
largest and most important in the his.
tory of the organization. especially
desire TO request that local Negro Busi-
ness Leagues be organized and sustained
In every community where there are no
such Leagues, and in this connection to
express the wish that new life and Wig
or be put into the work of the local
Leagues already organized. 1t seems to
be the universal verdict that since the
organization of the National Negro
Business League in Boston in 1900, the
business interests of our people have
been stimulated and increased through
out the country many per cent, and all
agree that the National Negro Business
League has more than justified its exist
ence. 1t is important that local organi-
cations begin at once to prepare to send
delegates to the national meeting to be
held at Nashville. In this connection,
wish to call attention to the fact that the
report of the proceedings of the third
annual session of the League held at
Richmond, has been published, and
copies can be secured by writing Mr.. S.

Dear Sir:
have watched with in
terest the many arguments made by
yourself during the First Baptist
Church disturbance, and do hope that
the decision sustained in your behalf
will do much toward furnishing preced.
ence to regulate future cases of similar
aspect.
have contended, from the first, that
you had right to publish that much
discussed letter for which you was so
ungraciously treated.
Has y ruling, in my Judgment, with
out due process of the principles en-
bodied, in matters which involve ones
social and religious stains, should, by
all means be avoided.
In my opinion, the Church of God is
not a Secret Society,"" but a body
whose deliberations are and ought to be
know and accessible to the world
can see no plausible reason WHY a
church should hesitate to publish it's
proceedings when convenient, especial
" during time when things were con
Quoted orderly.C)

On all questions affecting our interest
as a race, You have beeu found an nm
compromising fighter against the
wrong. That is as it should be. for all
questions are at unstable equilibrium
until balanced or settled by the scales
of justice, There is nothing indestruc-
tible unless sanctioned by divine an
proval. Then may your life be one of
longevity, and increasing ability TO
