A visitor at the Baptist Church Sunday night complained that he missed hearing a considerable portion of the sermon because of the misconduct of some boys, io the congre? gation whose rude behavior -and lond whis j Dering were a source of annoyance to a num? ber of worshippers. We cannot roo severely Icondemn such conduct, and a judicious appli? cation of a strap to some tender portion of the boys' anatomy would work a radical j cure, if applied in quantities sufficiently large, j and with an energy strong enough to drive j it in. ^ Municipal. Tba old Council met yesterday and died in j a very quiet manner, the new Council taking i its place with commendable alacrity. Xo I business of importance was transacted except election of officers. Xo changes were made, all the incumbents being re-elected. In this we think the Council did well. We could not have a better Clerk and Treasurer than i Mr. C. M. Uurst, and the Chief of Police is ! also a model official. We wish them alt a j successful year io the admioistratiou of the ! Municipal affairs of Sumter, and we would j like them to put a crossing between the j Court House and Music Hall. Mill Street. j We heard some ladies complain of the side walk on Mill Street, last Sunday night, com? ing from Church. It is ?neonvient to give up the arm of one's escort and trail along bebind j io ludiao file, bot such is necessary there. A narrow rough side walk, with a ditch on I one aide, filled partir with dirt, partly witb j logs and partly with nothing, makes walking ; along there on a dark night anything but ! pleasant. . _ Las Inoendiarigm. j& Jfftfe" fensHy " of .,Ji>b Jackson, a . quiet ind s respectable canted man , living io Stumming Pens Township, was aroused" ?Fri |^day hight by the glare of fire and found, his barn and stables in flames, but too late to saveany thing. He lost two mules, a ton of guano, 200 bushels colton seed, some corn, a cart and all hts.farming utensil?. In fact be. has lost h ia all. Jackson is an industri? ous, hardworking man, and liked by. all his neighbors, both white and colored. He is the son in-law of'Isaac McLaughlin, - whom we all know as a faithful Democrat. ,.The ?fire was evidently incendiary, and as Jackson was absent from home at the time, it too ks UB (t advantage was taken of that fact.

Antioch Baptist Church. j The sixtieth anniversary of this Churc was celebrated some time ago and the follow ing items will be of interest to our readers : This Church, situated near the Kershai line, was organized March 6th, 1824, with membership of twenty four-twelve mah sod twelve females. Ref. Charles Ingrat was its first pastor. In 1826 and '27 Re\ j John Bateman assisted him in his pastor* j work. Io 1828 John Barnett was ordained b ; the Church and beatme pastor, and so cou ! tinned for four years. During his pastoral I the Church had a wonderful growth. ]{ev ! John Bateman and Uer. Bryant Goss too I charge of the Church till 1835. From lha ? time till 1839 there was no settled pastor, am j the Church declined until it came near beinj ! given up. In 1839 Rev. A. McDowell be j .came pastor and was succeeded next year I?; Rev. John Nix, at which time there was bu ! nine members. He remained till 1842, am i ? during this time the Church grew rapidly Mr. McDowell then became pastor again, ti j be succeeded in three years by Rev. M. W j M iion and afterwards by Rev. P. Rollins 1 The iucrease ofthe Church during his pasto ! rate was wonderful. In 1850 Rev. Thoma j Mason was pastor, and it was while he ha< ! charge of the Church that its present pastor ! Rev. J. E. Rodgers, was first licensed an< then ordained to the ministry, and tn 185: took charge of the Church, and has continu?e as pastor ever since-a period of thirtj'-tw< j years. The growth of the Church was r.-?pi< ! in the years just preceeding the war, bu I during its continuance suffered heavily though reguiar services were kept up. When the Church was organized in 1824 it was in a log house 30x40 feet. In 1842 f frame building cf the same dimensions wa: erected, which was replaced by the presen I building in 1860, a much larger structure, 4( j x60 fret, andj if we are not mistaken, built st j as to enclose thc old church which continuer I to be used for service until the outside struct' . ure was complete. This Church has sent ou four ordained ministers and has been a notec organization for ntany years. Weare indebted to the Camden Journal foi most of the above items. The Company holds its regular meeting to? night. The Summer programme will ht talked about and possibly arranged. Gold Seed Rice.

Editor: The communication under the head of "The Public Schools," in your issue of April 1st, shows that there is at least some concern felt outside of your editorial sanctum for the prosperity and saccess of our public schools. The matter certainly deserves care? ful consideration. There is too much apathy among our people generally, on the subject of education. It is a humiliating fact ihatSum ter is away behind some of her sister counties in respect to her educational int?r?ts. A most important step toward securing an i improved state of things in our schools is the j adoption of the cash system for the teachers. I And many teachers will feel grateful to j "School District Xo. 15," for the suggestion of a plan to place the public schools on a ! cash basis. There is no satisfactory reason why a teacher should have to wait twelve < months for the payment of a school check, j Other public servants do not have to wait i so long nor should it be required of our teach- I ers who are engaged in the very important work of guiding our children in the paths of knowledge and training them for future use- i fulness. And yet in most of the School Dis- 1 tricts in the county, it seems that the public j schools are run on a credit, subjecting often, i no doubt, faithful teachers to much inconve- I nience and actual loss in having their school | checks discounted. Why is this? Is it not ! because the Trustees employ teachers when j there is no money in the treasury to pay them for their services? What theo is the; remedy for the inconvenience complained of? j It is the simplest thing in the world; jost j keep the schools closed until there is money j to pay the teachers. The plan suggested bv "School District j No. 15," for the adoption of the cash system j in two years by all the School Districts that j are now behind, is a good one. But if it be j a good thing to arrange for adopting the j cash system fn two years, would not its adop- j tion in one year be a better thing? It may be j thiarih man y of the School. Districts, the pub? lic schools would be closed for a whole year. But the disadvantage to both teachers and ? 'scholars would not be so great as would re- ; .suit from keeping the schools opeu only half ' the usual time, for twe years in succession, j Two months' instruction,: half the usual term : for most.Scbool Districts, would not be of j mach benefit to the average urchin, for he j would forget about all he had learned in that ; short period during his succeeding ten months j vacation, and the two months salary of the ! teacher would not be a great matter. If the j public schools now working under the drsad- , vantage of the credit system were closed for ' a year, the teachers might find other employ- ? ment during that time, or what would be , better still, private schools might be opened. | In my School District the public schools are conducted strictly on the cash system, and it works well as all cash systems do. ? The Trustees ascertain from the School Com? missioner the amount of funds in the treas? ury for their School District: then employ their teachers, open the schools and run them until the funds are exhausted. A school check to one of our teachers is always pay? able at sight, and hence is as good as gold. And ihis prompt payment of their checks generally secures cheerful, faithful teaching in SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. ll. Privateer Items. Rev. B. C. Lampley preached the funeral of Mr. Willis Osteen at Bethel Church Tues? day evening, April 8, at 5 o'clock. Corn planting is over, and I hear of sever? al who think of starting to plant cotton the lauer part of this week and first of next. Mr. James Ay cock, of Wedgefield, commenced on the 8th. The wind, last Wednesday, covered np sev? eral farmers' corn so deep with sand, that \key will have to plant over. I heard of one who says that bis furrows are filled with sand, and that his cotton crop will be cut off one third in consequence. Quantities of our best soil changed hands that day, and the worst of it is, none of it stopped here, but went right on. During the storm, a pine fell across Jake Congers' house, on Mr. Sam Bradford's place. Fortunately no one was killed, though sever? al children were slightly hurt, and all badly scared.
