complete the terms for which they
were commissioned, or the Demo

a conference of the Democratic mi

TRY DEFENDERS
OF CHISHOLM
Row In Big Bethel Col
ored Church Goes
On

Friday nights congregational
meeting of Big Bethel colored Bap-
tist church was a lively affair, but
the opposition to DR.. J. ]. Chisholm
the desposed pastor, were in the over
whelming majority again, and the
net result of the meeting was the
citing of Richard Britt and Henry
Harris, chairmen of the board Of
deacons and board of trustees, for
church trial for expulsion because
they signed a statement published
in the Times-Recorder Friday de-
Tending DR.. Chisholm, which, it was
contended by the opposition, was
derogatory to the church.
The matter was reported to have
been brought up by Edgar Wilson
recognized leader of the opposition
to DR.. Chisholm, with the motion
for their trial presented by ed
Bright and seconded by Ed West
these two also known as anti-Chis-
holm leaders,.
Britt, who is sexton of the church
defended himself and DR.. Chisholm
on the floor of the meeting, and af
ter the vote against him demanded
imemdiate payment of $146 which he
claims is owing him This repre-.
sents, he said, nearly two years sal.
ary as SEXTON at SIS per month, and
336 which he lent the church recent
ly in making up money to pay the
salary to DR.. Chisholm.
'I told them / wanted every cent
they owed me-" says Britt yester
day. When asked what reply wa!
made he said, "They just laughed
at me-" He continued that he in
tended to sue for the money.
Among those who attended tht
meeting Friday night was Prof. S
s. Hubert, head of the Masonic or
phans home here, who is gooC
speaker, but is said not to be mem
Der of the congregation nor even al
attendant at the church. However
he spoke at length on the statement
of DR.. Chisholm as published in Fri
DAVIS Times-Recorder. He was de
clared to have been bitter in his de
nunciation of Chisholm, referring t.
him as a "white folks pimp" ant
a "dirty Democrat" He declared
Chisholm's statement regarding ReC
Cross work among the negroes Sian
derous, and stated that work wa
done for the Red Cross, despite wha
was said.
The Times Recorder was informe'
that Humbert had been commissioner
to prepare a formal reply to CHS

none was offered for publication VI

race here. He stated that, while he
was not connected with the Big
Bethel church nor its dispute, he had
been local chairman of the Red Cross
work among the negroes up until
last year, and said that if Chisholm
was in any way connected with the
work he did not know it. He said
Chisholm had never given dime to
the Red Cross here, and that his
Red Cross workers had gone to CHS
holm's church and had been refused
permission to solicit funds among tie

and to have driven members Of his
congregation away until there was
scarcely a handful of them left.

GINNINCS 1000
BALESOVER 1919

Sumter county cotton ginn;ngs
had reached almost the 22,500 mark
up to November Ia, the exact figures
being 22,488 bales, according to the
report of W. P. Persons, government
census taker for the county, made to
Washington, This was more than
1000 bales more than there were
ginned her cup to the same date
last year. Round bales were count
ed as half bales.
This showing is regarded as re-
markable, when many other coun,
ties are showing fewer bales ginned
this year than last. Because of the
fact that some cotton is still being
ginned, it appears certain that Sum-
ter's final crop will show well over
$4,000 bales for this year.
