Action Was Deferred by Congrega? tion until Next Sunday?May Not lie Accepted?-Will Carry on Work for Miff of Aged Ministers. Tin? resignation of Dr. C. C. Brown as pastor of the First Baptist Church of Sunder, which was read after ser? vice at tho church Sunday morning, carne as quite a suprise to many of the members Of the congregation, al? though there were some of those most closely associated with tho pas? tor who knew beforehand of his contemplated action. While the resignation came as a surprise to many, it has been well known that Dr. Brown has for a number of years been considering this step in order to devote the whole of i his time to the work of the Aged Ministers' Relief Fund, a matter to which he has been giving much time and work for twenty-one years. After the resignation was read, a motion was made that action by the congregation be deferred until next Sunday. At that time it is probable that the matter will again be brought up for action, but it is doubtful if the resignation will be accepted by the congregation, unless it is under? stood by them that Dr. Brown will positively not reconsider his resigna? tion. Dr. Drown has been pastor of the First Baptist church for nearly forty years and his place will be a hard one for his congregation to fill. In tho time he has been here as pastor the church has grown and prospered and Dr. Brown has been generally loved by the members of the congregation to whom he has been highly acceptable. All will deeply regret his departure from the church. A copy of the resignation could not bo obtained this morning from the secretary of the church, as it had not been acted on, nor could a state? ment of his future work be secured from Dr. Brown, as ho was out of town. However, it is stated by one of tho congregation very closely asso? ciated with Dr. Brown that it is his intention, as previously stated, to de? vote all of his time to w the Aged Ministers' Belief Dr. Brown started this > ?? twenty-one years ago and pushing it ever since, givii time and thought. It has ..~.? so that there aro about twenty-three thousand dollars invested for the fund and about six thousand dollars are expended every year In carrying on the work of aiding needy ministers of tho Baptist church and their families. Dr. Brown himself recently donated a cottage and tract of land at Beau? fort as a place of retreat for these ministers, when they were out of em? ployment or in need of such a home. The members of the board In chargo of tho work are all of Sumter and members of the First Baptist church congregation: Messrs. Bartow Walsh, chairman; W. M. Graham, B. K. Wilder, T. K. Htltson, B. H. Uhamo, D. W. Cuttino, and Dr. C. C. Brown, secretary Pocalla News Notes. Temple Sinai Sunday school had its annual picnic at Pocalla Tuesday. Trinity Methodist Sunday school of Sumter held their annual picnic at Pocalla Thursday. Everybody had a big time. The Northwestern Railroad ran a special train for their accom? modation. Mr. J. S. Buck and Mr. Barnuin chaperoned a picnic party to Pocalla Wednesday night and enjoyed them? selves very much. The Chero-Cola Company have had scats put on their big auto truck for tho purpose ol carrying parties out to Pocalla at a nominal price, which will he quite a convenience to the public.

We were blessed with a fine rain Friday afternoon and another one on Sunday and the way crops will grow now will make a fellow stand up and take notice. Some parts of the road has been dragged Up between Sumter and Po? calla since Friday's rain and it is I surely a big help.
