When Court was called yesterday, there were nine jurors in attendance We suppose the remainder read the Watchman and South? ron and knew that' the Judge would not be here na til to-day.

Haynswortb : ."To the Sumter Baptist Church, MT DEAR BRETHREN : Very soon, six years will have passed since the relationship of pas? tor and people has been existing between os. God's mercy has been round about and over os continually. Many have been added to your number from tbe world whose names, we trust, have been written rn beaven. Some of thia- number have already passed into the heavenly Canaan, having had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb: and now wear a crown of rejoicing, white others remain with us, bearing precious fru?*, and, rejoicing in the Cross, look for? ward to the recompense of reward ; while others-still are gone back to the beggarly things-of the world, thereby making all our hearts sorrowful. But for these we may still labor and pray ; for these there may still be some hope. The spirit of God may not have taken from them bis everlasting flight. God be merciful to such. "in looking back through these six long years, though tbey seem short now, while there are some reflections which make us sad, there is still much more reason for our rejoic? ing than for our sadness. We can but bear testimony to the faithfulness and loving-kind? ness of our God. When I remember His great goodness to nsf can but exclaim, bless the Lord, 0 my soul 1 To me personally, it has been, notwithstanding my very poor health and the consequent inability to labor as I de? sired, a time of continual rejoicing before God and of thanksgiving to Him for the suc? cess with which the labors of the pulpit have been attended. And it is, further, peculiar? ly pleasant to me now to be conscious, as I am, that through the entire number of years, I have never entertained towards a single member of my Church, for a single day, senti? ments other than those of a most kindly and Christian character. To-day this very plea? sant consciousness gives me, if not altogether, almost a sense of divine satisfaction. I thank God for the guiuance of His Holy Spirit, and I rejoice that to-night, in the prospect of part? ing from you, perhaps forever, I entertain for you all personally and unitedly those senti? ments only which would prompt me to do now, as earnestly as ever, whatever would promote the personal happiness of each or the good of the Church as such. Such reflections give me unspeakable plea? sure, but I must now speak of another matter, which tears my heart and makes me sorrow? ful. In the providence of God, the time has come when it seems to me that the relation? ship oetween ns, though delightful to me, must cease. To this conclusion I have been led by the following reasons : 1. My health has never been other than very poor here, and it is not likely to be im? proved by a longer stay. 2. The salary I have been receiving here is quite inadequate to my support. 3. I hope that a removal to a higher and healthier climate will be the means of restor? ing to me the great blessing of health. These considerations have determined me to offer you this my letter of resignaron as pas? tor of the Sumter Baptist Church. And now, dear brethren, having given to you frankly the considerations influencing me in the very important step, to me at least, my heart's de? sire and prayer to God for you is that the grace of Christ, the love of God and the Com? munion of the Holy Ghost shall be your3 rich? ly to enjoy. As ever your faithful frieud and brother, W. D. BICE." Only a few members being present, action was deferred until another meeting of the Church, and on October 7th the following resolutions were unanimously adopted. They w<jre manifestly prepared by Bro. W. F. B. Haynsworth. m . "Our esteemed brother, Rev. W. D. Rice, having ina recent communication to os, resign? ed bis pastorate of the Church, which relation has existed for nearly six years, during which period this Church has been blessed with un? precedented prosperity, with harmony and brotherly love : "Resolved, That we appreciate and admire the integrity, purity and devotedness of Brother Rice as a man and as a Christian, and bis faithfulness and boldness in proclaim? ing the whole counsel of God ; and that fully reciprocating the affectionate sentiments wnich his letter to us gives expression to, we contemplate with sorrow the termination of the pleasant association of so many years, and beg leave to assure him in return, that he will carry hence with bim our wishes and prayers for happiness and prosperity, both for himself personally and bis family, and for his continued and increased usefulness as a Minis? ter of Christ. "Resolved, That we deplore the causes, es? pecially that of ill-heal th, which have induced bim to remove his residence from among os, and that we trust that the results to his health of his removal to a more bracing climate may at least equal his most sanguine expectations. "Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to Brother Rice, and that they be published in the Southern Baptist." On October 28th, a committee with "un? limited* power," whatever that may mean, was appointed to obtain another pastor. Brother Rice's pastorate had been remarkably successful, and the good foundation then laid has been, to this day, a source of strength to the Church. The amount of money sent to the Associa? tion that year was larger than ever before, viz., $178.34. On January 15th, 1861, Brother W. F. B. Haynsworth, in the name of the Committee to obtain a pastor, reported that Brother J. A. Chambliss had signified his willingness to visit the Church with a view of taking charge. At that same meeting a brother reported himself for having bet.> intoxicated, and though expressing profound sorrow, "was suspended from the privilege of the Church fer three months." Theieare some offenses which a Church cannot possibly let go un? punished even though the penitence of the of? fender may be most manifest. On Sabbath, January 27tb, ?861, Rev. J. A. Chambliss preached, and a unanimous call wa3 extended to him through Brother W. F. B. Haynsworth. "Mrs. Nancy Sledge, one of the oldest mem? bers of this Church, departed this life, on the 24th of February 1861. The offer made to Mr. Chambliss was "four htindted dollars for six months of the present year, and nine hundred dollars per annum for succeeding years," and he accepted the call. May 15th-"At a special meeting held this day, it was resolved that Brother J. A. Cham bliss be called to ordination as the pastor of this Church, on the second Sabbath injune proximo, and that brethren Wm. Williams, I). I)., J. B. Taylor, Jr., of Greenville, A, W. Chambliss, of Memphis, Tenn., J. 0. B. Dar G. B. Healer, of darlington, and Samuel Fur man, W. D. Rice, I. Nichols, Noah Graham and J. J. Fleming, be invited to compose the Presbytery for this purpose. Now we hear tbe first blast of the war-trum? pet echoing in the Church: "Resolved that the first and second Sundays of June next, set apart by the Southern Baptist Convention as a season of fasting ?nd prayer to God for j our Country, bc observed by the Church." ? This was the beginning of an experience from which we pray to be delivered in the future. Tt was not long before Ch arches became hospi? tals, preachers chaplains, and bells were turn? ed into cannons. The ordination of Mr. Chambliss did not take place until the fourth Sabbath in June, and of those invited, only the following ministers were present, viz., brethreu Wil? liam, Nichols, Graham and Fleming. Brother Chambliss' first candidate for bap? tism was Miss H. H. Miller, who afterwards became the wife of Mr. G. E. Haya9Wortb. Brother Rice on leaving the pastorate of the Church, became Sunday School Agent for the State, and the first Convention was held in Spartanburg, July 26, 1861. Sumter sent up twenty dollars to aid in supporting the agent. September lath, 1861. a series of meetings commenced, Dr. Williams assisrtng the pastor. These meetings were continued for two weeks. During ibis- season Mady J. David was re? ceived for baptism, along with some others, and I must note the coincidence that while I ara writing, Brother David has just been laid to rest in his new-made grave. Dr. William Williams, for many years a Professor in our Theological Seminary, was more transparent and had more perspicuity in his style than any man I ever heard preach. He fell asleep in 1875 or 76> and is buried in Greenville. Claremont Items. CLAREMONT, S. C., May 20,1836. Mr. Editor: As it bas been some time since you have had any news from this quarter, 1 will endeavor to "?quill" a little, while the rain is pouring. We have had the good luck of a Post Office being established at this point with Mr. C. A. Mitchell as P. M. This office is a long felt want and it is certainly very convenient to get the mails four times a day. There have been numerous picnics and "fish fries" in this neighborhood, all attend? ed with more or less fun and fish. The Gamecock base ball club was reorgan? ized on the 1st instant, with the foITowing officers: Rev. H. C. Bethea, President; M. L. Sanders. Manager : A. K. Sanders, Cap? tain ; J. W. Karvin, Sec. and Treas, ; Dr. C. H. Green, Surgeon. [That looks scary-ED.J The club bas an excellent team for the season and with $10 worth of new balls and bats are prepared to compete for the "medal." We have bad plenty of rain and- now 1 wish for fifteen days dry weather and during that period that nobody will come to see me and that the fish won't bite. You know, Mr. Editor, it is very hard to be tugging away at the grass and see your neighoor pass by with a string of fish bragging on bis luck. Yours, * G. B. At D. J. Winn's you will find a complete assortment of Seersuckers, Alpacas, Black and Fancy Sicilians, Mohairs and other light weight goods. . ---- Our Exchanges. In the June issue of the Southern Bivouac, Dr. Felix L. Oswald will conclude the inter? esting series of articles on "Our Last Hunt? ing Grounds," with a paper on the Rocky Mountain Region. Dr. Oswald is preparing a series of articles on Southern Summer Re? sorts to appear in the Southern Bivouac. Harper's Monthly for June is uncommonly varied, artistic, and agreeable. Its most in? teresting feature is, perhaps, Mr. Blackmore's novel of "Springhaven," of which the third part is now published. The most important j of the illustrated articles is that" of Admiral Simpson on the United Stales Navy. Mr. Charles Dudley Warner's entertaining storm? i's carried through its fourth chapter. Mr. Howells, in the Editor's Study, maintains th<? indisputable proposition that no man is worshipful whom we du not feel and know to be good. Alden's Library Magazine, this popular Magazine, which beginning with the month of May, was transformed from an octavo monthly into a handy, small quarto weekly, has taken other steps io the line ol progress, j No. 4 of the weekly issue appears in new and j larger type, and also with the addition of a handsome cover. In its new appearances it becomes one of the most attractive magazines in the field, while it is beyond rivalry in economy of cost, $1.50 per year. From the amount and quality of the matter it presents it is commonly considered even superior to the great four dollar monthlies. You can get a specimen copy free upon application to the publisher, John B. Alden, 393 Pearl St., New York. Chronic. That word means a great deal. An im? mense storeof misery is wrapped up in what it expresses. A chronic disease is simply one which lasts for a long time. The longer it lasts the more vexatioos it becomes, especially if one course after another is vainly tried, to drive it away. Chronic invalids know this to their cost. In many cases it has happened that those who have tried many plans of rem? edy and have been discouraged with the result of all of them have at last, as a desperate resort, concluded to try Compound Oxygen. The result of these apparently desperate trials have been in the highest degree gratifying. Mr. Martin Hancock had suffered for forty years the torments of dyspepsia, and fora number of years had also been afflicted with ! catarrh, torpid liver and chills. A few months ago he wrote from Lake City, Florida, and gave an account of his experiences in the use of Compound Oxygen. For about six months he had taken it. His letter is dated eleven months after he ceased taking it. By this time ?t could easily be seen whether his cure was temporary or permanent. Ile wrote, among other things: 'It has been mv inten? tion for some time to report my eas-., but I concluded to wait and see if the catarrh re? turned. I am thankful to say that the dis? ease bas not relumed. z * * I am one of the jolliest old men you have seen lately. * * * My digestion is first-rate. I can do more work and ara in better health than for twenty five yearg. I feel as young as I did at twen? ty-five.' Those who want to know more about the Compound Oxygen, which achieved such felictous results io this chronic case will do well to write to Urs. Starkey & Palen, 1529 Arch street Philadelphia, Pa., and ask for their brochure, which ia sent free to appli? cants. A Most Liberal Offer : The Voltaic Belt Co., Marshall, Mich., offer to send their Celebrated Voltaic Belts and Electric Appliances on thirty days' trial to any man afflicted with Nervous Debility, Loss of Vitality, Manhood, &c.

And every day makesthe faith of the peo? ple stronger in the power of of Calisaya Tonic. When from every side praise, nothing but [.raise, pours in upon its virtues and sterling character, no one can refrain from believing in Greenville Champion Tonic. Read a few spontaneous comments upon the medicines. Here is an extract : Rirx;KVILLE, S. C.. Aug. 29, 1883. Dr. Westmoreland-Dear Sir: Vou will please send me two bottles of your Calisaya Tonic.

MAYESYILLE, S. C , May 24, 1S8G. Mr Editor: We liare had plenty of ruin, and crops are looking well. Mayesville has been quiet till last Friday night, when a tiger den was broken open and some of its hellish inmates were turned loose, howling and singing blackguard songs to the disgust of all decent people. The guests at Capt. leland's hotel were much anuoyed by these outrageous proceedings. Rev. P. F. Kistler from Lynchburg will preach here next Sunday, morning and even* i?gr and perhaps the day afier. The ice cream festival came off on the 20tb, notwithstanding the stormy weather, and was quite successful. We all hope the Presi? dent, Mr. Hugh Wilson, and the Society will call another similar meeting soon, for that of last Thursday was most enjoyable. Last Saturday morning found me in "he midst of a crowd of friends, under thesprend ing oaks ot' the beautiful grove at Capt, Laws' Mill, seven miles above Mayesville. All the neighborhood was gathered together for a picnic and a picnic it was, as fine as erer I attended. Five long tables filled to over? flowing with the good things of this life were a most attractive feature-no, not moat attractive either, for there were the young Indies ia all their charms of youth and beauty. Mrs 0. was there, but, Mr. Editor, I forgot all about that fact, and found myself standing at a carriage door, hat off, entertaining to the best of my ability, two of the fairest and sweetest. Forty years rolled off my should? ers, and I was a young man again, when suddenly I spied Mrs. D. looking on in a most interested way, and oh, my ! I forgot all ftbont young days, and got old again. But what is an old fellow to do when bright eyes and dimpled cheek3 smile up into his face? What can he do but smile back and thank God that he has given us so much that is lovely and beautiful on this earth. The pic? nic at Law's Mill will long be remembered. The Misses Holleyman havo returned from their Darlington trip. I am glad the power of Duggan's breath has brought Dew to life. DUGGAN*. If you want a fine square or round cut Sack Suit, Go to D. J.
