The congregation of the Episcopal church here are advised that there is available for St Alban's the sum of $2,500 toward the erection of a rectory in Kingstree. One thousand dollars of the amount is available at once and the balance in sums of $500 per annum. Members of the congregation yesterday held an informal , conference and pledged an additional thousand dollars. The congregation hopes to build a rectory here at an early date in order to take care of a . resident minister. The membership here is small, and it will require around $50?0 or $6000 to complete the work, and a canvass will be made shortly for funds and it is believed that a substantial addition to the funds already pledged will be sub scribed by friends of the church in the community. o .Mass Meeting Called.

C. o Autrim R&din Dead, i "Uncle Autrim Reddin, a faithful and highly respected colored man of the ante bellum type, died Tuesday and was laid to rest yesterday morning in the community where he was born and had spent a long and useful . life among those who knew him best, including a few of the white folk, who had played with him when a little slave boy in the family of the late S. A. Burgess, grew up with him and ministered to him in his old age, and in his sickness. For the past twentyfive years "Old Antrim" lived on the farm of Mr. D. J. Epps, where he served faithfullyVuntil age and infirmities rendered him helpless. This typical old darkey will be re membered by many who have partaken of Mr. Epps' pine bark stews and barbecue dinners, for it was "Old Uncle Antrim" who was almost invariably on the job assisting his friend ' and benefactor in their preparation.

While no estimate of the financial loss ahs been made, it vas stated that all books, records and furnishings were safely removed, and hat the principal damage was the effect of the water used in extinguishng the flames. o iVILL CLOSE TOMORROW NIGHT.
