D. G. Phillips Accepts Call to Chester A. R. P. Church-Ex presses Appreciation. Rev. D. G. Plhillip,, wh., ha been asto.r ot the A. R. P. ehurch in1 ewbe:ry -. nf! :li- .hree -,vars, has eepted a called to the church in hester. Dr. Phillips' decision was received rith genuine regret by the citizens of bis city, and especially by the mem ers of 'his own congiregation. He is preacher of unusual gifts, being oth eloquent and strong in 'bis dis ourse. The congregation which he as so faithfully served will tind it a aatter of some effort to succed in etting a pastor and preacher so w-el quipped as is Dr. Phillips for his fe's work. The entire community is orry to have him and his excellent 'amily move from their midst, but ince lhe sees in it a clear call of duty, he best wishes of all our citizens at end him, and the people of Newber y will ever rejoice in the high suc ess which it is almost certain will Attend his labors wherever the years nav find 'him. in leaving D-r. Phillips begs to nake the following statement: At rare intervals there come times n the experience of every pastor 4ere it is almost imperative tihat he ake the public into his confidence. ['hose who know me will not think I Lm trying to advertise myself or the ,hurch by this card. Unde,r a profound conviction of he leading of God, we have decided o change our field of labor. In doing o we wish to bear testimony to the infailing kindness of the congrega ion here. It is (ly simple truth -to av t1hat not a week has passed with )ut some substantial token of good vill. When they knew that we were onsidering a change, they cheerfully .xpressed their willingness to meet he -demands of the increased price of iving by a liberal ine.rease of salary. 'or all their kindness we wish in this )ublic way to thank them. Nothing )ut the sternest sense of duty could nduce us -to sever the relations be ween us as pastor and people. They ;hall always be in our hearts and )rayers. We wish also to express our sin ~ere' appreciation of the many cour esies and kindnesses shown us b ;he citizens of Newberry not conneet d with our ehurch. We have found h'em a people of broad Christiar ~ympathy, and our residence among hem will always be eherished as one f t.he pleasant experiences of life. D. G. Phillips. W. C. T. U.

Explanation From Dow, Jr. In Regard to the Old Confederate Soldier. Editor The He_rald and News: An Liele in Vouy last week'.s paper, )m a -Friend. of Chink Calmes'' juesting some explanations frol w, Jr., in answer to which Dow has ly this to say: Hearing a conver tion between Mr. Mel Chalmers and 1. Schtunpert as to -the immediate rnoval of the old soldier from the matation -of a large real estate own Dow expressed himself pretty ely and gave notice that he would blish the whole matter. If the story was true, the people ould know .it, -and if false, the party terested, could have an opportuni to correct the same. Dow may pos >lv have misunderstood Mr. Chal ers or the latter had a misconcep m of the wishes of the "large land lder,' I do not think that the land mner, Mr. George Summer, intended iv lrarshness to the old soldier, or unnecessarily disturb him; that only gave timely notice to him to ovide himself with a more suitable ace, in ease of a lingering illness r. Summer says he did not requirE i immediate removal, nor did he ake his removal, a condition on hieh Mr. Suber could keep his job, irthermore, 'he offered to pay five )llars a month toward paying Chinks'" board. We -have no rea n to doubt these statements of Mr. immer, and Dow for one, is eharita e enough to say there was a misun rstanding all around. As to Mr. John M. Kinard's visit Col. Dickert, Dow supposes that it as to offer an explanation or show e misunderstanding to that gentle an, as an officer in the Camp of Con bderate Veterans and a friend to all ddiers. It was possibly satisfactory -r nothing more was heard of thE Laetter, until ,the article ifrom Friend of Chink Calmes.'" The old soldier now has a gooi me, and he nor any of the other old terans. will be here very mueh long to be in the way or to disturb th rsuit of this generation. Dow, Jr. In the Mayor's Court.
