Call to Mr.. Rogers.
Rock Hill special, Of October 10, to
Columbia State: Last evening at the
Associate Reformed Presbyterian
church the Rev. oliver Johnson, of
Leslie, filled the pulpit, the occasion
being the moderation Of call for
pastor. Mr.. Johnson preached from
John 18th chapter and took his theme
Humility" as exemplified by Christ
in washing the feet Of his disciples.
After the sermon congregational
meeting was held and unanimous call
was extended to the Rev. Arthur s.
Rodgers. Mr. Rodgers has labored
most acceptably in this field ever since
its establishment, and Is beloved by the
whole congregation, which was built up
by his work. Hitherto this has been
a mission. This call for a fixed pastor
is the elimination Of the growth OF the
congregation into one strong enough
for his support. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Rodgers will accept.
The C. & NV.
Lincolnton special, Of October 8, to
the Charlotte Observer: The Carolina
and North Western railroad has just
begun grading its new road which is 10
begin at Hardin, and come up the river
by the High Shoals Manufacturing
company, Hardin Manufacturing COM
pany, Long Shoals, Lincoln Mills, Lab
oratory Mills and Daniel Manufacture
ing company. This new part of the
road will be of untold benefit to these
mills and of great profit to the road,
and the scenery will be some of the
finest in the state. On one side Will be
the beautiful little South Fork river,
with a waterfall every three or four
miles, while on the other will rise moss
covered peaks and forests, equal IN
beauty to any scenery on any of the
mountain roads. Although the peaks
are only high hills they are picturesque
and beautiful. For these mills 1t will
substitute, for the task Of hauling
yarns from one to six miles in the stiff
mud, most Of the way axle deep, q
simple truck from the platform to the
car. This will insure to the Carolina
and Northwestern the patronage of
this entire belt of mills, which will be
very profitable, and when the road Is
connected with the part now being
built from Johnson City, Tenn, 1t will
bring coal direct from the coal fields to
the factory doors.
