Copy ol the Complalat Air. Creighton Wanted to Submit to Coafercnce. Among the first matters taken u In the louth Carolina conference att week in Columbia was thc eelftcratr d Jrolghton oana, watch MMC over frena tho confcrones cf th" year before. JU will bi remembered that all thc last OOo fer once thaoharaoterof Mr. Creigh ton waa arraigned bj tho presiding ttider of hin dlsfeflot, lt bolng charged ?nat Mr Creighton had publisher ?landerouc etat>went? la bis paper nhout th s.- presiding elders, it being sieged that Mr Creighton had ouarg cd that the presiding elders were guil ty of graft. Ta? ca e nt that time attracted a great deal of interest and causad a big .cnsatlon. There were two faetlonu, one taking sides against Mr. Oretgh ton, the other rallying to bis cup port. A committee wai appointed to la milgate tho oaee, but no report was mado, and the oass was cou rted over for a year. Ju th? moan Mme Mr. Creighton was given no worls and was virtually suipended from the Ministry. Mr. Creighton's friends 9lalm that ho was ready for trial at last year's oonforonoo, and that tho past postponement of his case and rc fusing to give him work, was au out rage and intended to humllatc him. The oommlttoo t.ha> Iud oscu ap pointod to try th? cane at the confer ence of last year mdt at Greenwood last summor and took testimony. During the investigation them waa another sensation. lt appears that when tb ?i committee met at Greenwood and assembled in a room Mr. Creighton was un hand, bringing with him a young woman stenograph er, dedaring that lid was going to nave all of the testimony taken do'-.vu tnd published to tho world. The oom mitti i. protested against the presence of the stenographer and invited her to leave the room. This brought Mr. Creighton to his feet, and the accused minister made a most vigorous protest, declaring that lt au eiiort waa roane co ?JUOD mu eth nographer he would oall in polio-: pro tection. He carried lils point and th? ttenographer was allowed to remain and take down tho evldones. Thia end sd the matter uutil last week, wnei lin; matt3r cams up again in the c in ference at Columbia last week Mr Uretghton waa on h.aud ready to ocn test the oaao Lo tho end. As stated above Mr. Creighton wai. suspmdad at ono onforcuoo of lus? year uuder thc oharge of slander and lying Tao oharge was brought h presiding elders then in i fflce, *h a title Rsv. Mr. Creighton h .a Cfl? ola-d In his paper, the Cnrlbt'.an Appen., ile had opposed system of paying tin presiding elders of tho ohur?h eve since ho has been editor of the Caris lian Appeal. Uador toe present ?>yt. tem the presiding elder' aro allowed a peru?? cf thc collections of th? ouutoh, which according to tilt vlevf ia wrung. Ho thought that under the Hjstem the presiding elden got salar les altogether out of proportion to many cf tho ministers on stations and circuits. He aliio cia!mod that many cf the presid? cg elders are too dictatorial ano tu?t tuer are slothed with too great authority. He has written freely a&d frankly on the suhlet and lt ls safe to aay that he will continue to speak ills thoughts through hts paper. Mr. Creighton's paper has a largo drouin tlon and seems to be growing. He has a great many warm friends both In | thc ministry and among thc laymen i of tho church, who agree with him in moat of n's ohargea against thc sys tem. On last Wednesday in thc confer ence when thc minlstors character* Aoreoalled, beginning with the presld mg elders, their ohoraotera were pass ed without without challenge until the name of the Rsv. W. T. Dunoan was otticd. Mr. Creighton arose and at tempted to proter charges against him. Bishop Wilson promptly ruled him out, ?aj ?og that as Mr. Creighton had been suspended, he could not pre fer a o <argo. Mr. Creighton made a saroastlo reply to tho ?eliuot that he supposed ho would have to bow to tho face, that a man who has boen hanged his no appeal. Presiding K'der Dun oan's oh&raotor was then passed. The oharges whioh Mr. Creighton would have stated if permitted arc as fol lows: "That in tho investigation nf the complainte against O. W.
