A DiSgTaGGfIl Fight Among The Flock
Of The BiHgTillG C0HgTGgaSli8l-
Full Particulars

They is disgraceful fight on IN Bing-
vile which IL pains us very deep 20 give
the siekening details oS. but as a writer
OF current news and a moulder OF public
| opinion, We must not hesitate to do our
duty. We made up our mind many years
ago that we would never shrink from
| giving what happened in the coliums of
the Bugls providing we could find Il out
and we have not departed from this pol
/ icy We always have made Il a rllIe 20
print all ths news that Is fit 70 print and
/ some that amt. We have often printed
| things that people don't like 70 see about
themselves, but We have never regretted
IL except on several occasions when them
as We had mslgned come 70 our ONCE
and wiped the floor with US.
This present squabble IN the church was
started by Mrs. Cy Hoskins and Mrs. Lem
Brown. Mrs. Brown she was In favor Of
raising money TO purchase new pulpit
for Rev. Moore, our beloved pastor TO
preach on. Mrs. Hoskins said that they
needed good many things worse than
they needed new pulpit and she was
opposed TO IT, Mrs. Hoskins said that il
money was spent for anything it ort TO
De spent to repair the seats in the church
some OF which was so weak that thew
N---- SNAAG ~ set GOWn on DElnE as
had broke down with her only two weeks
ago, and she only weighs $40 lbs too
Mrs. Hoskins said when the seat broke
down with her in church she felt terrible
humiliated and shook up ana tore her
skirt in two places.
Well, as soon as they got argv,ns about /
the question all the members begin 70 |
take sides. Some was in favor OF q new 4
pulpit and some was otherwise AT nras /
ent the hole entire church is divided IN 4
the question Mrs Browns side Is going
70 have new pulpit whether or no and
Mrs, Hoskin5' side is not aEoinR To hava
one. Nobody on one side won't sneak tn
nobody on the other side. The choir IN
about equally divided and each half re-
fuses to sing with the other half next Sun
day Deacon Butterworth and Deacon
Andrews almost had a fist fight ont in
front OF the church last Sunday morning
they got SO het Up over the question
Rev Moore haa been trying to spreea
oil on the troubled waters. hut an a. =.
has not been very successful. He saId he
would Ike 10 see The onruly members A.
MS flock come back into the fold and the
ntlk-white dove OF peace hover again
above the sanctuary, but at present the
dove is roosting elsewhere Rev. Moore
says he amt particular whether a rev
'uipit is got for him or not. He saws the
I'D one is good enufr for him to preach
N Of. When Mrs. Browns side heard I
his thsy accused Rev Moore az hAIre =
With the other side and was IN favor Of ,
yetting a new preacher. Just 70 show I
he height OF the feeling that exists IN
he church when the collection was took I
Ip last Sunday morning the amount raIseS 7
onsisted Of only three cents and a pent Q
Tutton. Whereas the amount OF the COL I
action usually foots up between 90 and 7
0 cents and several pant buttons I
II grteVes US terrible to thiRk thai fhs r
lembers OF the Bingville church woujd So
isgrace themselves as 10 choose OF an I
ides, as II were, and hate each other Iil.a z
his. II don't seem 60 US to indicate a n
rue Christian spirit. They ort TO try N r
OF along in peace and harmony instead a
saying mean things about each othev Z
ke they have been doing, The Bible saws g
lat house divided against Itself SHAH Il
III and We shouidn't wonder this ziIi {.

LATEH-Just as we go to PRESS We Il
