Trouble at EweIl's M. P. Church - There
seems to be some friction between
Eweirs Methodist Protestant Church
at Clayton, and their pastor, the Rev.
A. G. Boyd, which appears to be near
ing crisis of late. Mr.. Boyd until
last Spring was preaching in the west,
and member of western conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
He desired to return to the east, to be
near the home of his birth, and his liv-
ing parents. An opportunity opened
for his coming to the Maryland Con-
ference of Methodist Protestant
Church, and promise by the Presi-
dent, L. Il. Little to furnish him work,
even though he should not succeed in
getting into the Maryland Conference.
Mr.. Boyd sent his withdrawal to his
own conference with the understanding
that he was to retain his ordination
papers, and to be permitted to with
draw free from all prejudice, which he
was later informed had been done. He
then sent his papers and recomenda-
ions to the President of the Maryland
Conference, and selling his household
goods, came east and was received and
appointed to the Clayton Circuit,
which he has since been serving. Not
long after his arrival here he found O
factional disturbance existing in the
church of considerable magnitude, and
one certain faction who were disap
pointed in not getting the preacher
they had asked for, and who failed t.
impress Mr.. Boyd that they wer,
leaders of the church, seemed to resor
to means of annoyance, which in
creased the disturbance, and fnall,
resorted to means to have Mr.. Boy,
removed from the pastorate.
Although somewhat disturbed b
the annoyance, Mr.. Boyd sought t.
proceed with the work of the church
and pay no attention to the opposition
In the mean time the church part
tried to break up the meetings, 20 tur
out the peacher. and to close up th
church. The President, hearing {
the disturbance, came, and after heai

Mr.. Geo. W. Joseph, one of Clayton's
prominent railroad trainmen, has just
returned from an extended journey
through the Great West Among other
places of interest visited by Mr.. Joseph
was Denver, Col. He speaks of this
as one of the great commercial and
mining centers of the west. 1t is near
this place that the great powder manu-
facturers of the east, the gentlemen
Duponts, are erecting extensive
powder mills. 1t is near this place
that the great powder manufacturers
of the East, the gentlemen Duponts,
are erecting extensive powder mills.
1t is also a center for the great sugar
beet industry. He also visited and
assembled the heights of Pixies Peak,
IA, LAT feet above sea level. Here he
found almost perpetual snow and ice,
a striking contrast to the fields of farm
lands below, which, at that time were
covered with sugar beets of enormous
size, and fields of alfalfa almost waist
high, waving in the breezes. AS re-
CARDS the climate, Mr.. Joseph notes
that the atmosphere there, is much
dryer than in the east, and the climate
seems very invigorating and healthful.
Wages, especially in railroad circles,
are better than here, and although Mr..
Joseph found every thing so inviting
there, yet duty called him homeward,
and on Oct. 21st he babe farewell to
that land of flowers and started for
little Delaware, where he had left SC
many friends and acquaintance, and
who were waiting to welcome hin
home, and although he is glad to bt
with friends here, yet he will always
remember this journey as one of the
pleasant happenings Of his lifetime.
