Flint Hill Church Dedicated.
Sunday morning and afternoon th?
dedicatory services of Flint Hill Bap
tist church, in Fort Mill township, wert
attended by about 800 people, many ol
whom came from the neighboring communities
in North Carolina, to be present
at the exercises solemnly setting
! apart the handsome new building foi
sacred purposes. In an announcement,
the Rev. Mr. Hair, pastor of the church,
stated that the dedicatory. services
would be somewhat different to the
J usual services on such occasions, as a
part of the dedicatory services had been
held two years ago, when the main
building was completed. Three former
pastors of the church Rev. F. O. S.
Curtis, of Walterboro; the Rev. M. W.
Gordon, of Decatur, Ala., and the Rev.
Edward S. Reaves, of Honea Path?
were present and took part in the ex1
ercises.
The services began at 11:30 o'clock
with the "Hallelujah" by a choir of 50
male and female voices and their inspiring
singing was followed by the
Long Metre Doxology. Mr. Hair then
invoked the Divine blessing, which was
followed by the singing of "How Firm
a Foundation." After the reading of
the Scripture lesson by Rev. Edward S.
Reaves, a prayer was offered by Rev.
F. O. S. Curtis, to be followed by the
dedicatory sermon by Mr. Reaves,
whose text was taken from I Timothy
111:14-15. Mr. Reaves' masterly discourse
was listened to with the greatest
interest by all present and many remarked
that it probably was one of the
most powerful sermons that would ever
j be delivered in the building, however
lone it miorht lu> uu a nf
worship. At the conclusion of Mr.
Reaves' sermon, the dedicatory prayer
| was offered by Rev. M. W. Gordon, to
whose effort, largely, the credit for the
, new building is due. The forenoon ser
Yices then ended with the benediction
' by Mr. Curtis.
At 3 o'clock, al'ter all present had
enjoyed the bountiful dinner prepared
! by the ladies of the congregation, the
afternoon services began with music,
i Mr. Gordon read the Scripture lesson.
After the prayer of ordination for the
' three new deacons. Messrs. S. Q.
' Garrison and J. F. and R. F. Boyd, the
ceremony of laying on of hands by the
ministers present was followed by an
impressive sermon by Mr. Curtis in the
nature of a charge to the deacons. A
hymn was then sung by the choir and
congregation, at the conclusion of
which an address was made by Mr.
Gordon relative to the duties of church
members. Mr. Gordon is an earnest
speaker and his remarks were listened
| to with manifest interest. Before the
benediction was pronounced by Mr.
| Reaves, Mr. Hair stated that morning
and afternoon services would be held
in the church during the week and that
he would be assisted in the services
by Mr. Gordon.
Pleasant Valley Farmers' Institute.
There was a rousing farmers' institute
at Pleasant Valley Tuesday bv the
Clemson field staff, consisting of l'rofJ.
N. Harper, Dr. Enoch Burnett and
James Henry Rice, Jr., of the Audubon
! Society of South Carolina. By
invitation, Miss Hyde, of the Winthrop
, faculty was present and delivered a
forceful talk on home sanitation.
The meeting was held in a grove
overlooking the valley and the speakers
stand had been elaborately decorated
with flowers, fruits, cereals and
melons. A string band added to the
clay's pleasures.
Proceedings began with prayer by
the Rev. Mr. White, pastor of the
Foit Mill Methodist church. Mr. S. E.
Bailes acted as master of ceremonies.
He is a recent Clemson graduate who
is illustrating the principles of Clemson
I on his fine farm.
The first speaker was Prof. J. N.
i Harper, who spoke on soil fertility,
the creation of humus and plant feeding.
He made a decided hit with the
I audience. Miss Hyde followed Prof.
Harper, speaking on home sanitation.
She is a graceful and easy speaker and
told her story in a convincing manner.
Mr. Rice then took up the work of
the Audubon society. He went fully
j into the insect and his mode of life.
, It was the opinion of several farmed
, who have heard all the speeches delivered
by Mr. Rice in this section thai
he made his best speech in Pleasanl
Valley. When he concluded there was
liberal applause given him.
After a recess for a bountiful picnic
dinner the crowd reassembled arounc
the speaker's stand and listened to Dr,
Barnett discuss live stock, dairyinp
; and stock-raising, together with v
lucid explanation of hog cholera anc
the serum used to combat it.
There were about 500 people nresern
; from the counties of York and l.ancas
! ter, and the white rose and the rec
mingled in the generous strife of peace,

Carhartt Roller Mill Running.
The report that the Carhartt Roller
Mill (formerly Jones' mill) on Catawba
river, two miles from Fort Mill, had
closed down and that the use of the
f.-rry has been discontinued as a result
of the recent death of the colored man
who was the miller and ferryman, is
erroneous. The mill is running daily
and is prepared to grind the community's
wheat and corn, as usual.
