First Camp Meeting in America.
“The effect of the -McGee brothers’
preaching—especially of John Mc
gee—at a Presbyterian meeting on
the banks of Red river, in Kentucky,
was so startling, and seemed so
e-learly to indicate that it was the
result of Divine agency or some
mysterious force possessed by the
preacher, that the news of the
oecummce spread rapidly in all
directions throughout that part of
tin; state, and attracted unbounded
interest,” writes Clifford Howard in
the July Ladies’ Home Journal.
• If it did not at once awaken a re¬
sponsive religious feeling, it at least
excited curiosity, and when it was
learned ’that the McGee brothers
were to hold a meeting at Russell¬
ville, Kentucky, a newly settled
town in Logan county, near the
Muddy river, persons from all parts
of the adjoining country, irrespective
of their religious beliefs or church
allegiance, prepared to attend. It
soon bfccame evident that the four
walls of a country meeting house
would not suffice to hold the large
numbers that were making ready to
go to Russellville. The problem
thus presented was solved by determ¬
ining to hold the meeting in the
open air. Those coming from a dis¬
tance was prepared to camp it; it
would bt; no hardship to them to
remain out of doors. The recent
experience at Red River had proved
P'L It was not expected by those
fere coming tnat the lodging
Itod&ticas at the village of
.mille would be sufficient by
y means. Why, therefore, attempt
- house the people? Prepare a
ground, and let the meeting
a ‘camp’ meeting. This, then,
was the origin of camp meetings;
and the first one held in America
was on the banks of the Muddy
river, near Russellville, Kentucky,
in the month of August, 1799—one
hundred years ago. Not that relig¬
ious worship had never before been
held in the 1 open air, but the special
feature of camping out and the
nature of the services made camp
meeting a distinctive institution,
and characterized this particular
gathering on Muddy river as the
first of its kind.”

tariff is the mother of trusts.

J SID SHOOflNG AFFRAY
TAKES PLACE JUST BE¬
YOND TOWN.
Mr. C. L. Groves and Mr. Kossie
Smith Meet in the Road
and Renew Former
Difficulty.
Another chapter has been added
to the sensational horse-whipping of
Mr. L. K. Smith. But in this in¬
stance only two of the former actors
were engaged.
-Monday morning Mr. Smith came
to Lincolnton and spent the day, about
4 o’clock in the afternoon lie left to
return to his home, and just beyond
Mr. John Zellars’ place lie met
Mr. C. L. Groves who was on his
way to his home at this place. Mr.
Smith immediately drew his pistol
and covered Groves with it, remark¬
ing as he did so, “You took advant¬
age of me once, but now I intend to
have it out.” Mr. Groves was at a
decided disadvantage, as Ins pistol
was under the seat of his buggy in
its case, and it was with great diffi¬
culty that lie managed to get his
hands on it and before lie could use
it Smith fired at him, the ball tak¬
ing effect in hia wrist, ranging up¬
ward and passed out below the elbow,
the shock caused him to drop his
weapon, and made an effort to recov¬
er it and was shot again by Smith,
the ball entering the lower extremi¬
ties of the spinal column. Smith
then drove off leaving bis antagonist
hors de combat Mr. John Zellars
seeing Groves’ buggy coming up the
road without an occupant suspected
something wrong, he stopped the
team and went back down the road
to see if his surmise of an accident
was correct. De had gone some dis¬
tance before he saw Mr. Groves pain
fully struggling along towards him.
He was immediately placed in the
buggy and driven with all haste to
his home, where Drs. Mitchell and
Crawford were called in to attend
him. The physicians were unable
to locate the ball. The wounds,
while very painful, are not necessarily
dangerous. Mr. Groves in speaking
of the matter says he was not ex¬
pecting any further trouble from
Smith as he had some time previous
received a proposition from Mr. E.
H. Colley, Smith’s lawyer, in which
he proposed that Groves withdraw
the warrants and drop the prosecu¬
tion of Smith in the Caldwell-Smith
shooting and let passed events he
blotted out. Mr. Groves, in behalf
of Caldwell and the other party in
this difficulty, agreed to the propo¬
sition, and lie claims that the attack
made on him by Smith was in the
nature of a surprise.
’The Journal deeply regrets the
unfortunate occurrence, and would
not publish a word to prejudice
either side in the mind of the public,
and print the above account of the
affair as we obtained them from Mr.
Groves’ statement. If Mr. Smith
desires to give his version of the
difficulty our columns are open for
him to do so.
