What Rock Hill Herald Says of New
Pastor at First Methodist Churcb

Pastor at First Methodist Church.
At the IL o'clock service Sunday
Rev. w. B. Duncan delivered his
farewell sermon to the congregation
Of st. Johns. The audience which
greeted him taxed the capacity of the
church, and gave unmistakable evil
dence in other ways Of the warm
place he occupies in the hearts Of the
people. At the close of an eloquent
discourse, DR.. Duncan referred feel
ingly to the pleasure Of his sojourn
in Rock Hill and to the congeniality
OF his work here. And it was mani
fest that this feeling was fully recip-
rocated by the congregation. Ills re-
moval is a distinct loss to this COM
munity, as well as to the church he
has so acceptably served. In PocH
Hilps behalf. The Herald extends
him the best wishes of the city ANA
assures him n hearty welcome when

A Marvellous Genius.

There is a marvellous genius IN this
city. Reference is made to Alex II.
HardIe. member of the Watertown
High school, and one of the most
promising students IL the school.
Without arms or hands he is an artist
of recos nized ability and his work
will compare favorably with that of
those who are not handicapped by the
loss of hands. He does all of his work
by holding his pencil, pen or brush IN
his mouth, and it is truly surprising to
see what has and can accomplish. On
the desk of the writer. is a picture
representing the head of d young girl
which is wonderful for correctness of
detail and finish, another picture, re-
presenting the head of the Goddess of
Liberty in rolors which Is forthful
representation and still another repre-
senting the head of young lady
which is true to nature, and two
large cartoons one sold ST. very
good indeed aud the other, Three Boys
caught IN act. The pictures show
marked ability ana originality and If
Alex perseveres, there is a bright
future for HIM in the field for which
he has great predilectlon.

he died.

trade, was known to several here,
having worked in Wat-rtown at
