the order dissolving the commission in 1

Mr. D. J. Epps was the genial host 1
yesterday at a fish stew given at the i
j lower bridge. About seventy-five per- '
] sons were present, and, as usual, en- 1
\ joyed every morsel of the delicious 1
repast. Among those present from <
out of town were Messrs. .Allen of i
Columbia, Murphy of Atlanta, Mc- I
Guire of Augusta, Acre, Howie and i
Kirven of Darlington, Mayes of Mayes- 1
ville. The Rev. Mr. Cauthen, a form- :
er Methodist pastor of this place, was i
also present and was delighted to ,
meet a number of old acquaintances.
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.

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.

ST. PHILIP'S ON FIRE.
Famous Church Struck by Lightening
During Shower.
Lightening struck St. Philip's Episcopal
church, Charleston, at 8 o'clock
Tuesday night in one of the several
severe thunder storms and electrical
displays that occurred there. The
solt apparently struck a small room
just off the chancel, in the southeastcm
part of the building, and ignited
the walls of the chancel. The fire department,
being called immediately by
Robert Sinkler, sexton, got the blaze
jnder control before serious damage
was caused. 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.
