A Denial.

Rensselaer, Aug. 12. —Rev. S. M. Smothers, pastor of the African M. E. Church, Lafayette, requests me to give publicity to his denial of the published statement that he would be present to take part in the Nichols meeting (colored camp-meeting). “I enter my protest,” he says, “against my name’s being used; I did not authorize it.”
