A number of fires have been raging around in tbe couu try the past tveek. One near town blazed up so brightly one night that the alarm was rung and the engines turned out. On Saturday a large amount of cord wood was burned beyond Calhoun Avenue, and Sunday hight the standing trees were burning bright ly in that direction. A Clean Sweep.

In these papers we shall have abundant proof of the fact that Col. John B. Miller, the father of our worthy townsman, Dr. Miller, was, for many years, the leading spirit in the organization. At the first meeting be was appointed Clerk, and remained in this office until 1839, when he moved his membership to the Bethel Church whose pulpit is DOW filled by Rev. Mr. Laropley. Col. Miller filled tbe office Of Clerk with peculiar efficiency. He kept a record of every meeting, whether of business or not, gave texts of sermons, and items which, though they might then have seemed of no interest, now make the Minute Book of great worth. His generous liberality was also conspicuous, and bis name is promi? nent io every list where contributions were being made up. After a loug life of useful? ness, the Colonel died in 1851. But he bas left a worthy record, not only io words writ? ten with a peu, but in works which are im? perishable. Life is a real privilege wheo spent ta a noble calling, and it should be a source of great satisfaction to koow that we caa so direct our efforts as to compel others who come after os to rise up and call os blessed. Io toe days of which 1 write, (1813,) the Charleston Associai io a was a very large body. It covered a large portion of this State. Be? log so extensive io territory, it was difficult for delegates to reach it, but the difficulties were surmounted. Buggies and carriages bad not theo come into common use. The gig was the best vehicle, but travelling was principally done OD horseback. I have beard my falber say that delegates from churches io Georgia used to attend the meetiogs of tbe Savaooub River Association, sod oo coming to tbe river, would disrobe themselves, force their horses into the stream and swim across. Such delegates oo looger exist. To proceed with our record, I fiad that the meetiogs of the Church for worship were reg? ularly kept op during tbe year 1813, and Dr. Roberts preached. February 12, 1814, I find the following recorded. It marks a custom of watcbcare once i ti vogue among our Churches, which is now but little heard of. "Bro. Jesse Nettles applied to the Church to be permitted to par? take, with tbe members of this braocb, of the Lord's Sapper, also bis wife and daughter (all members of the Bethel Church) and staled that they desired to be considered under the care of this branch until the Church of wbicb they are members becomes more settled aod in better order ; which the members present agreed lo." On May 28tb, Bro. Nettels t4io fonned the Church that the Cb arch of which be was a member had come oo good terms, and that be aod his family would coe tioue with it." Oo May 29tb, Rev. Jos. Cook, a visiting minister, cooducted service sod preached from 2 Cor., 8 : 9. Then ibllows : "Bro. Roberts prayed for a few children who were brought forward by their parents to be dedicated to the Lord." This was once a constant prac? tice, bot, io opposition to infant baptism, Baptist Churches bave swung over to aootber extreme, and the practice is scarcely ever heard of. It seems to me that this rite is io full keeping with tbe blessing pronounced opon children by our Saviour, and while there is oo law requiriog it, it would yet be a wise measore for the Churches lo follow up, under some circumstances. Tne fi rst death among tbe little flock was that of Rebecca Barden. This occurred July I, 1814, and on the next day, Dr. Roberts preached ber funereal at her late residence. Almost all tbe collections taken up were in behalf of tbe Charleston Association Educa? tion h und. January 28, 1815, we have tbe first men? tion of a deacon. Tbe record sava: "The Church was requested by Bro. Noe! Vaughan, a deacon, os be was very old aod infirm, io appoint aootber, aod that the mother Church should appoint one, which was agreed to." This brother bad doubtless been a deacon at tbe Hills and was simply transferred io ibis Church. March 4, 1815, "Margaret Miller was ie ceived by letter from the Bethel Church." The meetings for receiving members by letter or experience aod for alteadiag to ail Church matters, were held on Saturday before tbe preaching day. Bot up to ibis time, the preaching wot irregular, and the people were called together to bear tbe Gospel only when a minister coald visit them. It seems that months passed, at times, without any reli? gious service, os, for instance-, from Sept. 3, 1815, to April 29, 1816. Up to this time, haviog oo boose of worship the Court House and private residences were used. On Aug. 9tb, 1317, Dr. Roberts preached, aod after the service, '?it was pro? posed by brother Joo. B. Miller that a sub? scription paper should be opened to receive subscriptions lor erecting a building fordt vioe worship for tbe use of this Church, which was agreed to, and brethren Jobo Dargan -and.Juo. B. Miller were appointed a commit? tee for that purpose." These brethren weat at ooce to work, aod-secured contributions amounting to set en hundred and twenty seven dollars. Uo December 24, Mr^Dargan died, leaving Col. Miller alone oo the com? mittee. He, however, continued his search ofter funds, and on Aug. 22, 1818, almost a year after his work io this line began, be got Rev. Mr. McKeliar, who bad preached, to catt the Church together that be might make the report. The report said that "a meeting of the subscribers for buildiog a hoose bad been called, agreeable to the subscription paper (I appecd a copy below); that after several meetings appointed and attended by a few, those who nt tended agreed to appoint Chas. Miller, Jas. Caldwell, Jos. B. White, Esq., Capt. Spencer Wi (der and Col. J no B. Miller, a committee to contract for aod superintend the said buildiog;" "that ac offer to erect the said building for $800.00 bid been made, aod (hat there was theo lack? ing $60 to make up this amount." At that same meeting, ''Bro. Miller further reported that the committee of the subscribers bad vnade a purchase of a lot of two acres to erect the said building on, which costs $75, ex? pense of convey i og aod recording $6.75 more. "To meet the payment of $75 and costs, there was lacking $16 and this amount Col. Miller contributed himself in order that the title might be made over to the Church. . I here appeud a copy of the subscription to which the names of 93 persons are signed, with various a?oounts aCxed to their signa? tures, rasging from one to fifty dollars. This paper is a model of its kind. "SUMTERYILLE, 9th August, 1817. We, the undersigned, do promise'individu? ally foot -jointly anU severally,) but each for himself, to pay thc sum of money to our names written, to and for the purpose of erecting a suitable building fora .place of worship, for the use of the Baptist Church to be erected io or within one mile of this vil? lage, ?s may hereafter be found most conven? ient and advantageous. It is hereby under? stood that as soou as a sufficient Amount is subscribed, the committee of the Baptist Church in this village shall, by public notice of at least ten days, request a meeting of the subscribers; a majority of those attending such meeting shall have power to fix on the plan of ?aid building and on a site for same within the bounds above mentioned ; also to choose managers to contract for and superin? tend thc- building of ?aid bouse ; wbicb said managers shall have power to choose a col? lector and treasurer who shall collect the monies subscribed and pay over the same as a majority of said managers shall direct." Thereupon follow the 93 names, and we have here the rather anomalous spectacle of men of different denominations and some of no denomination at all meeting together to agree upon a plan for building a house for the Baptists. It shows that the fathers of our Church commanded the respect of the commu? nity and won their goodwill. The Church of to-day will not be doing a bad thing if it follows in the same footsteps What is Contempt of Court ? Mr. Editor: Not long since I attended Court (not in Sumter) and saw many things worthy of space in your best of county pa? pers, "Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce" on a limited scale, and other like things out of which the gentlemen of the bar manage to obtain a very scanty subsistence; but the thing which struck your countryman most forcibly was the arraignment of a juror for contempt of Court. It seems that the juror received an urgent call to return home <o a sick family, reported same to the judge, asked permission to go, was refused and went without leave. His Honor 6ued him fifty dollars and the costs of the rule. Now I do not know but that the circum? stances io this case made the contempt equal to the punishment and I think the dignity of the Conrt should be sustained ; but it set my mind to work on the subject. What is con? tempt of Court? Only the day before I beard the Clerk call a juror to be sworn to try a case-no answer. Called again, and he rises from the bench in an apparently stupefied condition and is helped along by tbe bystan? ders. Staggering forward to lay bis hand on the Bible he was stopped by the Judge and the following passed: Judge-"Stop, wait a minnie. What is the matter with you?" Juror-"I was sleep, Sir." Judge-(Looking at the juror.) "Are you sick? Tel! me the truth now. Haven't you been drinking?" Juror-**V\ ell-I-did-did take a drink or-two, Sir." Judge-''Sheriff, take charge of that man." Holding these things in mind I reason ed : If the juror who abseuted hiin?e'f to attend to bis own business Diust pay so roundly for it, I suppose the drunken juror will go to jail for six roon i hs. The first by absenting himself would work no direct injun lo his brother man. The latter not only showed a want of respect fur the Court, Dui was will? ing to jeopardise the julerest of bis neighbors. When Court adjourned I asked. V. here is the man the Sberiif was ordered to take charge of ? "Gone home." But did beget pay for every day ? "Certainly " Mr. Editor, what is contempt of Court? Josics Providence Items. PROVIDENCE.

The Quarterly Conference will be held at Providence, embracing the third Sunday in the present month. On last Sunday afternoon the last tribute of respect was paid to one of Bishopville's most respected and highly "steemed citizens, Mr. John 0- Durant. The solr ,.u services were conducted by the gifted pastor of the M. E. Church of lhai piace Mr. Elwell. A very large assembly was {?resent. The speaker in pathetic tones, summed np in brief the history of this good man ; he said the visitation of death was no sign of displeasure of the All wise, that the river of death is narrowed to a short step for those who work righteousness and walk uprightly, and that the highest com? pliment thal could be paid to man was paid by one who knew the deceased well: "that he never wronged any one." Re'erring to the minutes of the quarterly conference at that place, he said his name ?ras connected for years past as steward and classleader, and when his approaching end drew near be ex? pressed his willingnes to die, and bowing in humble submission, yielded up his life. A noticeable feature on the occasion was the large number of colored people that were in attendance, many of whom were his former slaves. As ever, VOX. LOOK HERB, j Send 25 cents to Prof. W. H.

The weather has hcen fine this week, and we had hoped to make some progress with farm work, but three days have been spent in working the public road. Hope it is put in such condition as not to need any more work this year. All of the public schools have closed ex? cept tl:e one taught by Miss Ellie Durant she is making up for lost time. Three months and ten days was the length of the session Mr. J. M. Galloway has entirely recovered from a dangerous fall he had sometime since. We came near being burned out Friday and Saturday by a big forest fire on the Claren? don line. Martha Canty lost between 200 and 300 paneis of fence. About 100 panel? were burned on Coi. J. II. Earle's place, the Messrs, Holliday lost nearly a half mile of their pas? ture fence. Mr. S^mel Harviti lost 100 panels of his pasture leuce. The fire covered about five thousand acres. The woods were very dry ; a dense growth of sedge grass, and the accumulated pine straw of two years, to? gether with thousands of turpentine boxes, H o ii fat light wood trees furnished fuel that burned like tinder. Mr Warreu Weeks start? ed the fire by buming trash iu his new ground Two years ago the 13th of last Novem? ber be did the same thing. If it had not been for very hard work by the neighbors, and the favorable direction of the wind, a disastrous fire would have resulted. Mrs. W. A. Nettles' mother, Mrs. Whilden, is still very low. She bas been unable to turn herself for three or four weeks. Mr. William Nicholes is not any better. Miss Annie Dwight is visiting her sister Mrs. W. 0. Cain.
