CGroenville Piedmont, 17thD

H..
No decision will be publicly an
nounced, vas stated to-day, by the
special council Of Baptist ministers
OF this city who have been in session
here for the past two days investi-
eating charges preferred against
Rev. J. J. Payseur, pastor of the
New Westminster Baptist church.
The special council, to whom this
matter was REFERRED examined a
number Of witnesses Tuesday, and
have been giving careful COnsidera-
ton to the matter. 1t is understood
they have adjourned, and will make
a report to the church at Westmin-
ster. The general understanding is
that upon this report it will be de-
ctded whether Mr.. PaySeur is to re-
main pastor Of the church, or whe-
ther his resignation will be de-
manded
A number of charges of a some
what sensational nature, embracing
general unministerly conduct, were
preferred against Mr.. Payseur by
members Of his congregation. A
number OF witnesses. including men,
bers and officers of the church, were
examined by the special council
which the church selected to try the
case. This council, it is said. is
comp Of the following GreenvilIe
minister's: DR.. w. E. Wilkins. chair
man; DR.. II. NJ. Bailey, DR.. e. M.
Poteat, DR.. D. M. Ramsey, DR.. Geo.
w. Quick and DR.. w. T. Derieux.
Rev. Mr.. Payseur came to the
Westminster church from Fountain
Inn, it is said, and was formerly
serving at several points in North
Carolina. Since he has been at
Westminster number of the MEM
bers Of his congregation, it is said,
have made fight against him, and
in order to settle the matter, the
church elected special council to
try the charges, each side, it is said,
agreeing to abide by the result of its
decisions.
Divorce Proceedings.
1t Is charged that Mr.. Payseur left
North Carolina between 1908 and
1909 for Seattle, WASH, where he
entered divorce proceedings against
his wife. She resisted the proceed
lngs, and he then went to Reno.
where, 1t is charged, he secured a
divorce by swearing falsely as to the
whereabouts Of his wife Charges of
improper relations with his sister,
1n-law were also made, and it Is al
legged that he achieved his position
with the Westminster church by
false statements.
Asked to Resign,
The church congregation, it Is
said, asked Mr.. Payseur to resign,
which he did. Thereupon, it is al
legged. Mr.. Payseur persuaded a
number of forme members Of the
church to return to the congrega-
ton. had new election, and was
reelected to the position of pastor.
The prosecution in the case, it is un-
derstood, is led by J. G.. Breazeale,
Of Westminster, a member Of the
congregation.
Testimony Scored.
Nothing in regard to this matter
has been made public by members
of the council, and the bearing Of
the testimony is not known. The
matter has stirred up much discus
sion in the Westminster neighbor-
hood, especially among the members
of the church.

SAYS NEVER NEGLECTED DUTY.
Senator Tillman Wroth at Governors
Hendersonville Statement.

Washington, July 17.-Referrng
to affairs in South Carolina, Senator
Tillman said to-day:
Il notice that Governor Blease has
broken loose again. He makes a
misstatement, to speak mildly, and
feel compelled to correct him. He
went to Hendersonyille the other day
| and in telegram to the Columbia
Record he is made to say:
Senator Tillman ruined himself
with the people Of South Carolina in
just the same manner when he went
about lectpring instead Of remaining
in Washington and attending to the
business in the Senate
Il have leCtured very extensively
throughout the country, but | never
| neglected any Senatorial work to do
1t, as the record will show. | do not
recall ever having left WASHINGTON
while the Senate was in session eX-
| ceeding half a dozen times to deliver
lectures. Then | went to nearby
points, which | could reach after the
Senate adjourned for the day, deliver
the lecture that night and return to
| Washington the next morning. /
have received offers time and again
to lecture while Congress was in ses-
sion, but always declined. | could
have made tens Of thousands of dol
lars had | believed it right to do so.
Subtle and Cunning.
Governor Blease has recently
done two things about which / want
to say something. l have been
amused at the subtleness and cum
ming he has shown in getting out of
the militia muddle. He double-som-
ersaulted instantly, and was SO anx-
ious to comply with the requirements
of the War Department that he tele-
graphed his acquiescence to the Sec
retary's demands. The mail was too
slow for him.
Another thing the Governor has
done recently is the letter he wrote
to the supervisors of registration.
ordering them peremptorily to regis
ter all white men. His exact words
are: Let no white man be refused
Il have examined the law care
fully to see just how far the SUPER
visors ought to go, and ] take the
liberty of advising them to obey the
law and register only men qualified
q yhn mill lro
required.
Might Cause Illegal Voting.
Il am very anxious to have all
white men who can take the oath
register, and thus be able to fulfil
their duties as citizens. But 1t will
be a fearful blunder and crime for
anybody in South Carolina to lay the
foundation or give excuse for the
House Of Representatives or the Sen
ate Of the Unite6 States to throw out
Senator or Congressman elected
from South Carolina because Of ille-
gal registration. The Republicans
are not now in power, and the danger
is not as great as it once was, but
even Democratic Senate and a DEM
ocratic House cannot afford to tole-
rate anything smacking of illegality
or fraud.
"The law as it stands now requires
the people to elect Senators by direct
vote, and | do not want to see South
Carolina jerked up for illegal voting.
Until we get our primary law amend
ed by the Legislature, so as to re-

Yes, Something Worse.

A friend once wrote Mark Twain a
letter, saying that he was in very bad
health, concluding with:
''Is there anything worse than hav-

same time?"
Twain wrote back: "Yes-rheu-
matism and st. Vtus' dance"

WILSON IN NIGHT STROLL
Walks Unrecognized Through
Washington Streets.

Washington, Aug. l9.-Unrecognized
by many of the pedestrians with whom
he rubbed elbows, President Wilson
took an hours stroll through the down
town business section of the capital
tonight. The President, accompanied
by two Secret Service men, walked
along Pennsylvania avenue and r
street, twirling a cane as he gazed IN
shop windows and at bulletin boards.
Mr.. Wilson stood for moment or
two before a bulletin giving the base
ball scores for the day. Immediately
to the left was a morning bulletin
which declared that the United States
and Mexico were ION a war footing.
The President, who has denied the eX-
istence of such a crisis, evidently read
with Impotence this lingo informd-
ton. He moved on promptly, after
taking in in detail the baseball results.
The President returned to the White
House about 10 o'clock.
