Herd Times-Debt, ASHTOS, S. C., Feb. 27, 1886. Mr Editor : Having nothing else to do thiB evening I will writ? a few lines to your valu? able paper. Tbere is no newe of importance in this section. The farmers are all behind with their farm work. The winter bas been very unfavorable ; there is no money among the farmers; nearly all are in debt, and how to get oat is the question that we would like to have answered. If yon can tell us, you will do ns a great favor ; but you must give ns a different answer from what you generally give, "make your own bog and hominy." We generally do that ; corn enough for the plantation and meat for our family use and tolerably good cotton crops besides, aod yet it seems that we get poorer each year. Please tells ns bow to do better, if yon caa and we j will be truly thankful. Yoars *c- j i E. C. i r (We are all too extravagant. Extrava- j f gance is one of the sios of the age, it keeps us hampered with debt, and makes mea dishonest who would otherwise go to their graves leav? ing honored names behind. Ii. is this trouble which takes away from the prosperity of cur friends, and in despite of good crops keeps them in debt. But they may say "we are not extravagant. Oar dress and table are both plain, and no money is wasted." That may all be so, but whenever purchases are made, which are not absolutely necessary, and which ! I runs the purchaser in debt or takes money 1 that should be spent for necessaries on the 1 farm yon are extravagant. Shun debt and Is only buy what you can pay for is, next to . Staking yoar own bog and hominy, the b?st j f remedy for hard times. How will that do j \ brother E. C.? Ed J J? Sumter Post Office.

One of the important cases decided was that >fF. J. O'Connor vs. Edward O'Reilly for he recovery of real estar? said to be valued at nore than $5,000. Verdict for Plaintiff. Court adjourned Saturday afternoon. "Above the Clouds." As announced last week, the Sumter Arna? co rs produced the abose play in the Music 3ail, Thursday night. A full bouse was >resent to give tts inspiration to the actors. We were struck with the evident result of >atieot and painstaking study in the rendi ion of the play. If there was any need of a >rompter, the audience did not discover it. 2ach one was perfect in his part, and our >n!y unfavorable criticism is that one or two >f the actors spoke too low. Miss Susie Gaylord, (Miss Marcelena Eber jart) was perfect in her acting. We never law an amateur more fully self-possessed, and mter more entirely into the spirit and purpose >f her part. Nat Nayler was fine. No trav? eled fop cr budding spring poet could put on nore impertinent airs or spout poetry and ove mere effectively than did Tracy Walsh, ffho represented young "Nat." And Chips, he inimitable Chips, who depended more ipon brawn and muscle in bis love-making :ban in a handsome face or fancy bows, wrought down the house whenever be appear? ed. His awkwardness was charming and W. E. Epperson was one of the stars of the com >any. Howard Gaylord (Richard Hood) and Miss 3race Ingalls, (Miss Mary Eberhart) did their ove-making very sweetly and the susceptible roung men in the audience envied Mr. Gay ord the fair conquest he had made. Amos gaylord, the country gentleman, (W. W. UcKagen) was well made up. In appearance ie was the beau ideal of the dignified and ?vell-to-do mao of means, though he was not efficiently ardent in his love-making. Ai? red Thorpe, (Bartow Walsh,) had a most difficult role. Barlow's face is too honest to play the successful villain, but his acting was very good, and the part remarkably well sus? tained. "Crazy Phil," by Mr. W. C Kops was successfully rendered. He entered per? fectly into the spirit of the wronged husband who was almost crazed by bis misfortunes. Hester Thorne by Mrs. Sops was equally suc sessful. Her enunciation was remarkably Jeir, every word being distinctly audible to toe audience. Miss Lucretia Gerrish, (Miss Bettie Epperson) was as die-away, as so ro? mantic a young lady should be. The cheer? ing was so uproarous during the love scene between her and "Titus*' that not a word waa heard. Last but not least is Titus Turtle [Murritt DeLormeJ whose very looks made ane hungry. The gusto with which he de? voured bread and cheese, and the willingness with which he left the romantic charms of Lucretia to enjoy the more substantial re? freshments of a cold shoulder of mutton were [>roof of the fact that he had a good appetite. We know the Sumter Light Infantry will jive a hearty vote of thanks to the young la Jies and gentlemen whose energy and talent jave them such a lift on the uniform question ast week. "Above the Clouds" in Manning. This play will be produced in Manning iext Thursday evening [4th] by the same >Iayers that gave such eutire satisfaction jere last week. Arrangements have been made with the .ailroad authorities and round trin tickets in ?luding a ticket for admission can be bought br ?1.30. The train leaves Sumter at 6.45 Thursday evening. mm -?<?- - Hude Behavior. There isa set of young roughs in town, md when they happen to meet at any one of j >ur Churches before service, proceed to enter- j sin the audience in the Church by their bois- j erous and impertinent language outside, j Those choice spirits were at the Baptist ! church, Sunday night, and carried out their j >rogramme quite successfully. We do noli enow who compose lbs gang, but think a I risit to the back shed in company with father j ind a stout strap would do them good, j f/hey might not be able to sit down as grace? fully after a proper application of the strap >ot they would behave much better while Handing up. ? The History of the Sumter Baptist Church. BY C. C. BROWN. NUMBER 3. Beginning on page 17 of the venerable book of Minutes, Col. Miller has recorded the Deed of Conveyance of the lot upon which the Church was to be erected. Some of its re? quirements and terms are now matters of cu? riosity, and I subjoin notes and extracts. It seems that John J. Frierson and wife filed their bill of complaint in the Court of Equity for Sumter District against Jno. B. Miller, executor, Margaret Vaughan and others, devisees of Henry Vaughan, Jr., de? ceased, May 17, 1817, fora division of the property of the testator. The result was that a writ was issued ordering a partition. This necessitated the sale of certain lots of land on April 6, 1818. One of these lots was pur? chased by Thomas China. The Church lot, however, was bought in the name of "The Baptist Church on the High Hills of-Santee," and cost $75. The boundaries as given in the deed are as follows : "Situate in the vil? lage of Sumterville, containirg two acres, having a front on the South, on Liberty Street, and bounded South by said street, of two hundred and ten feet; on Lawrence Street to the East and having a depth thereon from South to North of four hundred and twenty feet; bounded North by Republican Street, and having the same front thereon a9 on Liberty Street; bounded to the Westby the other acre aforesaid," (purchased by Thomas China ) He continues thus: "The seats or pews in the said place of divine worship to be erected, to be and remain free to the use of the said Cbnrcb and congregation that usually do or may assemble with the said Church for reli? gious purposes, and not to be sold or let out or reu ted to raise a salary for the preacher or preachers who may preach in the same." Provision is them made for transferring the property from the High Hills to the Suinter ville Church as soon as the latter could be in? corporated and independently organized. The deed is dated April 15, 1818. It is sign? ed by William Haynsworth and William Taylor, two of the commissioners appointed by the Court of Equity who recommended and controlled the sale in behalf of the lega? tees and devisees of Henry Vaughan, and by Jno. B. Miller, Commissioner in Equity under the seal of bis Court. It is recorded in Book E. page 334, Register's office. The Register at that time was W. L. Branson. The following is the roll of members, and shows the numerical strength of the Church in the beginning. It will be noticed that there are more names on this roll than are signed to the letter first written to the Hills Church for permission to organize at Summer? ville. This is explained io a foot note, which says : "Many of these persons did not join when the Sumterville Baptist Church was constituted, but remained members of the High Hills Church."

Lizette, Aug. 7, T13. ?Baptized Aug. 16, 1812. f?apiized Aug. 21, 1808. On Saturday, Sept. 4, 1819, Col. Miller re? ported to the Church (after a sermon by Dr. Roberts) that there was subscribed in all, the sum of S896.70, and "that thexommittee had contracted with Mr. Anderson Spears to put up the meeting house for eight hundred dol? lars, but not to do the inside work for the same." On the next day, right to the midst of various subscriptions and collections, the Church contributed 33.50 for the Charleston Association Education Fund. On Saturday, July 29th, 1820, the build? ing was dedicated to the service and worship of God, though at that time it was only fitted up witb* temporary seats. Dr. Roberts preached the sermon from Ps. 84 : 4. Hymns 338 and 342, from Rippon's collection, were suug. This was the standard Baptist Hymn Book at that d\v. After Dr. Roberts, Bro. Brooks preached from John 10:4, and the services closed for the day. Our modernized Baptists could not stand such a seige as that. The cry now is for one service, and that a short one. On the nex'. .lay (Sunday) Rev. Lee Compair preached from John 5 : 39, and was followed by Bro. Brooks, who preached f:om the Songs of Solomon. On the bottom of page 26 of the Minutes are one or two striking records concerning the money subscribed for building. Ii seems that Mr. A. Spears, the contractor, was also ft collector, and be secured S163.U9, and Col. Miller $534.00. Then follows : "Balance due $199 00, much of which will never be col? lected." "A. Spears is to look to the sub? scription ??aper for his pay." It, seems, how? ever, that Mr. Spears was a better collector than builder, as the sequel will show. On the day of dedication, after Rev. Mr. Compair's sermon, the first collection for State Missions was taken up, and amounted to $34.00. Probably this was spent in sup? porting a mission to the Catawba Indians. On the same day, July 29, 1820, it was re? solved that on the third Lord's Day iu August the members should meet to consider the propriety of having a'Church constituted in this place. Hitherto, the Church bud not been an independent body, but was only re? garded as a brunch of the Hills Church; Il was also on this day that Bro. Jno. B. Miller presented to the Church, for the use of the Clergyman or preacher iu the Church, a large Bible; also a Hymn book, Rippon's collec? tion of his and Watt's hymus." The next record I copy in full : "Lord's Day, August 20, 1820. Many of the members attended, and, after divine service was over and the congregation dismissed, Broiher Cook opened the meeting appointed in July last with prayer. He then stated the object of the meeting, and rend the following petition, prepared by Brother J. B. Miller, which was approved ofand signed and authorized to be signed by thc members whose names arc thereto, to wit : "To the members of the Baptist Church ol the High Hills: The petition of the undersigned members of the said Church, resident and near thc village of Sumterville ;-Sendeth Christian salutation. ''lt bas pleased Almighty (?<>d to permit the undersigned to bc formed into a branch of your body, and in Some degree, to bless the Gospel of his Son Jesus Christ to some few persons : also to put it into the hearts of his people and many of thc good citizens of this place and its vicinity, to purchase a lot, which has been conveyed to you in trust fora Baptist Church in this place, whenever it may be the good providence of our Lord to permit one to be constituted ; also to erect thereon a house of worsbiPj which has beeu set apart for Iiis service, We trust and hope that he will meet his sincere worshippers therein and bless their labors of love and charity, not only to their good, but to the good of others and that the constitution of a Church in this place will be for tbe prosperity of Zion and the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. "We, therefore, beloved brethren, feel em? boldened to ask you to dismiss us, if deemed worthy by you that we may be constituted into a Church, and when so constituted and incorporated, that you will convey to us the lot and building set apart for divine worship, and your petitioners will ever pray for the spread of the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour, the prosperity of Zion, and the salvation of men. SDMTERVILLB, Aug. 20, 1820. Signed. Noel Vaughan, Fred Brown, Jno. B. Miller, Easter James, Margaret Miller, Mary E. Miller, Amy Hampton, Sarah Wilder, Elizabeth Singleton, Mary Hud nal, Nancy Brown, Mary Jones, Mary Dargan." There are added also the names of twelve "persons of color." As will be noticed, the above document is a combination of Law and Gospel. Col. Mil? ler, being a lawyer, uses legal phraseology in the expression of religious sentiments. He has adapted the one to the other with remark? able fitness. In reply to the appeal, a letter of dismission from the Hills Church was received on Mon? day, Sept. 4, 1820. Sunday, Sept. IT, was set apart as the day for constituting the Church. On Saturday, Sept. 9, a meeting was held, with Mr. Chas. Miller in the chair, and Col. J. B. Miller made a report of the money collected and expended in building the house. "He also stated that some were dis? satisfied with the manner in which the work had been done, and that he wished them to state what mode they would adopt to get re? dress ; that be was not satisfied with the work but would not consent to resort to legal measures for redress." It was, at length de? termined that Colonel and Chas. Miller re? quest Mr. Spears, the contractor, to make some alterations. About this time, two hundred and fifty dol? lars were subscribed for erecting pews and finishing the gallery and other inside work. The two Millers were appointed to look after and contract for this work. Another sub? scription was then started to raise a fund to build a pulpit and two windows near the pul? pit and to paint the house. Pulpits in those days were items indeed. They were "high and lifted up," built of heavy material, such as might be used in the construction of a fort, and were generally provided with a sounding board which threw down upon the audience the voice of the preacher who was so far above them. As already stated, the subscription ran up to $250. Afterwards $30 were added for glazing the house, $120 for building the pul? pit, aod $155 for painting. Our Church fathers were not wise in having so many sub? scriptions, all going the rounds at once. Tbe liberality of the Church and community was strained, and the result was disastrous. Of the $120 subscribed for building the pulpit, they collected only $61, and nothing at all was ever realized on the subscription for painting the buildiug. However it'is worthy of note that the pulpit was constructed at a cost of $150, and that, too, in a house that was built for only $800. On Sunday, Sept. 24, 1820, with Col. Mil? let in the chair, the Church met, and the fol? lowing letter of dismission from the Hills Church was read, viz: "Without a dissenting voice, the Baptist Church on the High Hills grants the petition of her members in Sumterville and its vieiuity to be constituted a distinct and independent Church. The mother Church mest fervently implores the richest benedictions of Heaven on her beloved daughter who is now about to keep her own house. Sept. 3, 1320. Signed Jso. M. ROBERTS, Pastor, Wa.
