 Rev. John H. Flewellen negro Methodist circuit rider, who lives on Jeff Davis avenue, has been arrested by the sheriff's office and lodged in the county jail on information received | from Jackson. Flewellen is charged with using incendiary language in a sermon at Grove Hill on Sunday night, May 13 It is alleged that he inveighed lagaipst the governments conscription |orders and advised negroes not to en- hist as it was "a white mans war" On
 the 18th he went to Jackson to fill an
 appointment and it is reported that a
 party of white men who had heard of
 his alleged statements carried him to
 the river bottom and whipped him al
 most into insensibility. They also took
 his watch and money, he stated, and
 left him for dead. He managed to get
 back to Selma, where he was arrested gy yesterday.
 Flewellen's colored friends here say the charges attributed to him at Grove
 Hill were fabricated by negro enemy
 who took this method of personal re-
 venge; that they can produce witnesses
 to prove that Flewellen not only never
 spoke in a violent manner during the
 discourse, but that he in no way mem
 tioned the war or the orders of the
 government. They say Flewellen has
 lived in Selma 21 years and has all
 ways been ultra conservative in his re-
 marks regarding the relationship of the
 races.

MANUFACTURING IS UNDER HIGHPRESSURE Extreme Cost of Necessities Causing Curtailed Purchasing by
 Consumer

New York, June 1.-Dun's will say:
 With the additional stimulus imparted by the extensive and increasing govern mcnt demands. manufacturing in most branches throughout the country con- tinues under nigh pressure, whereas in about all sections lessening of ordinary distributive trade has become a more conspicuous feature. The diminished re- tai transactions largely reflect the backwardness of the season and the ex- treme costs of necessities are also in- fluential in causing curtsiled purchasing by consumers. With the recent percep- tible lull in regular buying, reports are heard of cancellations of orders and some machinery not engaged on federal work is now idle Yet such instances re- main the exception.
