RESIGNS PAsToRATE.
Rev. J. B. Black Gives Up Work
With Presbyterian Church.

At the morning service last Sun
day, the Rev. j. b. Black an
nOunced that he had rendered his
resignation as pastor of the Forl
Mill Presbyterian church, to take
effect at once. MIR. Black has
been in ill health for some time
and i'll making the announcement
OF his resignation he stated that
he did not feel that he could do
the work any longer. Monday af-
tcrnOon Mr.. Black left Fort Mill
for New York city where, it is
understood, he will enter "a hospi-
tai for treatment by specialists.
The resignation of Mr.. Black
will be considered and perhaps
accepted at congregational
mcetmg of the church which
likely will be held before the end
OF the month, in the opinion of
officers of the cnurch. The pro-
ccdure in such eases in the Pres
bylerian church is for the con-
grcgation to act upon. the resig
nItlon and then inform prcSbyte-
ry of its action. Should the con
gregation of the Fort Mill church
accept Mr.. Black resignation, it
is presumed that similar action
will shortly aftcrward be taken
by Bethel presbytery at II called
meeting.
Announcement of the reSigna-
ton of Mr.. Black was received
with regret throughout the com
munlty. Not only members of
the Presbyterian church were
panied to learn that he had given
up the pastorate. but many 9th
ers realize that the town is about
to lose the services and Influence
