Cadet J. C. Whittaker has taken charge of the Sumter'District School of the A.M. E Church, which is established in Sumter. He commenced his duties on March 1st, and is doing well, receiving quite a liberal support. A party from the country who bad taken a drink or so more thau was absolutely neces? sary, passing through the town at a rapid rate, and an indignant policeman clutching wildly at his retreating form was one of the Bights on Main Street yesterday afternoon. An altercation between F. L. Branson, Jr., and Daniel Salters, colored, last Tuesday afternoon in town resulted quite seriously for ?Salters, as we understand tbat^he bas lost one of his eyes. We don't know if whisky was *t the bottom of the trouble but suspect it was. It ts generally a factor in such skir? mishes. The Sumter Knights of Honor is in a fl .?ur ishing condition and new members are con? stantly coming in.- Columbia Record. Is that so ? We have attended the meetiogs ?with commendable regularity for a number of years and don't think we have had but three accessions in twelve months.

Mr. Franks, who was expected last week, did not arrive and there was no ser rice ia the morning at the Methodist Church. The Union service was conducted thereat night by Rev. C. C. Brown assisted by Rev. N. W. Edmunds. We understand tbere is some doubt abont Mr. Franks' coming to Sumter because of the energetic protest of his C?eraw brethren.

There is "L" and "Rafting Creek" and "Nat1' and "Piney Wood's Farmer" and "Fax" and "Tan" and "Sambo" and oh we don't know how many more who are as dumb as oysters. It was natural that some of them shonld go into winter quarters, but it is time to come out brethren. The spring is upon ns and we want to know what you are doing. We are hungering for a letter, not a long one -six inches is enough unless news is plentiful -to tell ns the news and help ns get ac? quainted once more after our long and terri? ble Winter. A Desperado Captured. Eli Mack one of the most noted criminals of Sumter County, and who broke jail here more than a year ago, was captured by Messrs. D. F. Dixon and S. H. Kilgo at Darlington, near the Depot, Friday last. Messrs. Dixon and Eilgo were riding in a buggy and met Maek driving a wagon. He was recognized by Mr. Dixon, when he jumped from his wagon and ran. Mr. Eilgo ran a short distance after bim and finding pursuit useless S red a load of buckshot at the fugutive which brought him to the ground. He was still defiant when his pursuers captured bim, and was not seriously hurt by the shot. He is now in Darlington jail. We think oar Sheriff hardly needs any ad? vice as to keeping a watchful care over this finished villain when he gets him once more in bis possession, but feel sure that when Eli Mack enters Sumter Jail he will not leave it till he starts to the Penitentiary. He is under indictment for larceny, grand larceny and arson. "Barbarous." The Williamsburg Record copies from the Watchman and Soathron the account we gave two weeks ago of the reported freezing of a woman and her newly born child ia Williams? burg County, and says, in substance, that after careful inquiry, it has failed to fiod evi? dence of the correctness of our information. Of course we know nothing personally of the matter, and published it, coming as it did from reliable authority, without hesitation. We will give our cotemporary the came of our informant, if he desires it, and will also further investigate ourselves. Sumter Musical Association. The members of the above association are requested to meet oo Monday evening 15th instant, instead of Tuesday as appointed at the laBt meeting. The meeting will be held at the residence of Mr. A. A.

Anderson near Manville had bis Storehouse broken open last week by burglars and about 2G0 lbs. bacon and 150 Ibs.lard taken. Mr. Anderson says if the thieves had only taken some of the Western bacon he had bought and wbibh was lying near he would not.have cared so much, but to take that of bis own raising burts bim badly. Woe be to the thief if be catches him. Base Ball. A letter from Smithville, referring to a base ball match between a club at Corbett's Mill and one at Rattle-sn^ke Spring has been received by us, but the writer must have been bitten by a rattle-snake or been in a delirium of joy over his victory from the somewhat in? coherent manner of his writing.

At the meeting held for organizing, refer? red to io my last paper as occurring on Sept. 24, 1820, it was determined that the Church should be called "The Summerville Baptist Church." The following Covenant between the mem? bers was then adopted, according to estab? lished Baptist usage. This Covenant is copied in the Minute Book in the handwriting of Col. Miller, but it is manifestly not in his style, and was not composed by him, except possibly, the title or heading. It is devoid of alt legal phraseology, and was either prepared by Dr. Roberts or was copied from the books of the Hills Church. . This Covenant was read and agreed to, clause by clause, unanimously and ordered to be signed by Col. Miller in behalf of the Church. COTEXA?T?. "The solemn Covenant of the Sumterville Baptist Church, in Sumterville, So. Ca., call? ed the Sumterville Baptist Church. . "Whereas it is the incumbent dutv of those who are favored with the dispensation of Gos? pel Grace, to embrace God's Covenant, ac? knowledge his government, profess bis name, and unite together in the faith and fellowship of the Gospel : We whose names are hereunto annexed, do TI ow, as in the presence of the Great,Eternal God, who knows the secrets of all hearts, and in the presence of Angels and men, acknowledge ourselves under the most solemn obligations to be the Lord's ; and we do solemnly covenant and agree : 1st. That we will take the only living and true God-one God in three persons, the Father, Son and Holy Ghost-to be our God. 2d. We unreservedly and solemnly give up Durselves and all we possess to Almighty God, tobe ordered, directed and disposed of by bim according to the counsel of his holy will ; ind this we do in an humble dependence upon the grace of the Holy Spirit to aid and sup? port us in these sacred engagements, hoping for acceptance and salvation through the merit and mediation of our Lord Jesus Christ. 3d. We take the Scriptures of the Old and Sew Testaments to be our rule of faith and practice in the great concerns of religion, and ibr a directory in the general affairs of life, ind particularly for transacting the affairs of the Church. 4th. We promise to maintain communion ind fellowship with each other, in the public worship of God, according to the various or? dnances of the Gospel, "uot forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as the mau? ler of some is," but embracing all regular tad convenient seasons for this purpose, as ihe providence of God shall permit ; and that ?ve will exercise Christian forbearance and ove toward one another, praying for and ?ympatbizing with each other, in the various circumstances of life, and using every lauda? ble endeavor to provoke to love and good fforks. 5th. We promise individually, to pay a res bectful regard to the advice and admonitions )f the Church, and to be subject to its disci? pline, as directed by the word of God, and as conducted in the spirit of the Gospel. 6th. We promise to contribute in a reason ible manner, according. to our ability, not grudgingly, for the support of public worship md the relief of the poor in the Church ; and o use our influence to forward and promote he interest of the Redeemer's Kingdom in the vorld. Also that we will be careful to con luct ourselves with uprightness and integrity md in a peaceful and friendly manner toward nankind in general, and toward serious Christians of all- descriptions in particular; bat we will pay a conscientious regard to :ivil government, and give it our supportas tn ordinance of God, And this coveuant we make with the free md full consent of our souls, hoping through uch, free and 'boundless grace, that we shall herein be accepted of God unto eternal life brough Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom be jloryand majesty, power and dominion eter lal. Amen. SUMTERVILLE, Sept 24, 1820. Signed in behalf of the whole Church. Jso. B. MILLER." Hereupon follow certain rules "for conduct-, ng the meetings of the Church." Business ueetings are meant. I need not quote all of hese rules; but one or two of them are worthy of note, and though the? are old, they ire not out of date. The observance of them vould doubtless add somewhat to the business ueetings of the present. I quote them by lumber. "4th. No person shall whisper to another vhile one is speakiog, nor remove from place 0 place ; but pay strict attention." "7th. A member who is absent from a Church meeting and neglects to make a satis actory excuse at the next session, shall be iable to censure." "10th. The members shall be at liberty to nvite any religious or serious person to attend 1 Church meeting who may wish to be pres mt, but bot to take a part therein." "11th. The quarterly meetings for the cele? bration of the Lord's Supper shall be held on ifth Lord's Days in those months having five Sundays, and the Saturday before said Lord's Oijs shall be days for hearing candidates and bther Church business." At this meeting, Col. Miller was instructed ;o prepare a letter, asking for, admission into ,he Charleston Association, and he, with brother Frederick Brown, were appointed del? egates to that boiy. Even at so early a day, :be Charleston Association had already been >9 years in existence. It was further resolved (Sept. 24th, 1820) 'that Jno. ?. Miller do prepare and present :o the General Assembly of this State a peti? tion on behalf of this Church, praying to be incorporated." "The third Lord's Day in October was igreed upon as the day for constituting this Church, and it was agreed that Bro. Cook, ind such other ministers as can be gotten, mould be requested to attend." f The Bro. Cook here referred to and whose aaine has occurred several times in these papers, was Rev. Jos. B. Cook, who, accord? ing to Wood Furman's History of the Charles ion Association, was born at Bath, England, md converted under the preaching of Rev. Geo. Whitfield. He studied in Lady Hunt? ingdon's College in Wales, and was baptized nt the High Hills Church in 1770 -ind there, soon after, ordained to the miuistry, by Messrs. Hart and Furman. He died when ibout forty years of age.] On Sunday, Oct. 15, 1820, the members of the Sumterville Church met according to agreement. Rev. WuJ. B. Johnson, who was afterwards for successive years president of the Baptist State Convention, was present, and preached from Matt. 18: 15. Rev. Jos. B. Cook examined the members as to their faith and gave them the hand of fellowship. Rev. Lee Compair gave a charge to the Church. Revs. Cook and Johnson adminis? tered the Lord's Supper and the service closed, with a collection of ten dollars for the ? education fund of the Charleston Baptist As? sociation. Up to this time, nothing was said about the call of a pastor. Their dependence for preach? ing seemed to be in the occasional visits of Dr. Roberts who was pastor at the Hills. - I Do not for a moment let your confidence ? betray you into supposing yourself incapable j of mistake.

Mr. Editor : Having thus far failed to see anything from this place by your authorized correspondent, I send you a few ideas. Tbegrim foe of mankind, "Death," has en? tered onr neighborhood very often within the last few months, and we have almost gotten to the verge of asking, "Who is next ?" We have buried some of our best and noblest. OUT young men beg to be remembered to the'Clarendon wit, who some time since taste? fully aud appropriately (?) compared their claim of the B. B. Championship of Clarendon County, to that of a Toad Frog's claim to an Earldom, and they also say as a warning, that he should bestir himself, for as sure as Uncle Sam continues the mail service, Packs ville, anti the County at large will hear from them before the season is over. We have in our "embryo city" the typical corner grocery and boarding house ; business on first floor and family on second, which goes to prove that Bishopville is on a boom, being pushed for room. We are now giving our best attention to King Guano. I guess the railroad men think that we use about a ton to the acre, judging by the large quantities which pass over their roads, bnt not so. One car load represents a cotton area of from 100 to 150 acres. Look out farmers ! cotton is low and still falling and rt will not do to depend entirely upon that staple. Plant at least one half com and the other in cotton, and when both need plowing the same time, plow the corn first. Home raised corn on the farm, all the year round, means well-conditioned mules, a fai buggy horse, good milch cows, thrifty pigs, a poultry yard filled with geese, turkeys, chickens, ic, io addition to the independ? ence which comes to any roan who owns well filled barns and thrifty surroundings, and which is in reach of most of our farmers. Now, if the above plan, coupled with old fashioned economy, does not better our con? dition after a few years trial, I for one would propose that we take "legal advice." What say yoo, brother farmers? Don't all speak at once. J. Privateer Items. PEIVATEEE, S. C., March 8, 1886. The weather continues cold. It sleeted a good deal on the last day of February. There have been big frosts, with some ice, and a slightly frozen crust of earth several mornings the past week. Have heard one farmer speak of beginning to plant corn to-day. Think planting will begin pretty generally next Monday. There is an epidemic among the dogs that has proven fatal in several instances. It seems to be a lung and kidney affection, if all the worthless curs that infest the country were fatally attacked by it, great good would be accomplished ; [Amen-ED.] but all of the case3 heard of are valuable hounds, pointers and setters. Messrs. Sep Whilden? and John Cain saw a white partridge Saturday. They failed to get it ; but Mr. W. says will get lt yet. He says it is the first white partridge that he ever saw. They report the best season for this game bird in several years. Mrs. Whilden is some better but is still confined to bed. Mr. D. W. Osteec's little son, John Wil? liam, has been critically ill with pneumonia and rheumatism for two weeks. We hope the worst is over and that "Jack" will soon be out again. MisaSusan Osteen, who bas been living in Camden, is at home on a visit. Mrs. James Tisdale has been quite ill. Miss Du Bose is visiting her. Miss Reese, from the Sumter Institute, is spending a few days with Miss Talulab Ram? sey. Mr. Sam'I Dwight, of Richland, has been on a visit to Mr. W. 0. Cain. Mr. Reese, of Marlboro', cousin of Rev. B. C. Lampley, was here on business a week since. He will locate at Wedgefield with Dr. McLaurin in the drug business. Mr. Joe. Geddings is building a neat frame dwelling. Mr. Lawrence Geddings is putting up a neAt plank fence in front of his house. The hitching posts as required by recent act of the Legislature, hare been put up at the gate near Mr. Barclay's shop on the Cane Savannah road. Mrs. J. II. Furman bas planted out an orchard of LeConte pear trees. Rev. B. C. Lampley preached at Bethel last evening. He announced that Rev. M. E Broaddus, of Camden, will preach at Wedge? field the Saturday night before, and at eleven o'clock on the third Sabbath, and at Bethel in the afternoon of the same day. A newly elected deacon will be ordained at each Church after the morning and evening ser? vice. Mr. R. J. Kolb is the deacon to be or? dained at Bethel. DEW.

Got a free trial bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, which did me so much good that I bought a dollar bot? tle. After using three bottles, found myself once more a man, completely restored to health, with a hearty appetite, and a gain in flesh of 48 lbs." Call at Dr. J. F. W.

There is perhaps no disease so prevalent as dyspepsia or indigestion, and one too, that up to the present time, has baffled th esk ill of the most eminent Physicians. Two-thirds of the chronic, diseases have their origin in dys? pepsia. The syinptons are loss of appetite, loss of flesh, a feeling of fullness or weight in the stomach, occasionaly nausea and vomit? ing acidity, flatulence, dull pain in the head, with a sensation of heaviness or giddiness, irregularity of bowels, low spirits, sleepless? ness, sallow skin, derangement of kidneys, and not unfrequently palpitation of the heart.
