I>. 1^. BR-ICIO, IVTj-r. ^FMIolt’s Old Stand, 150 yards east office of Gaffney Manufacturing Company, opposite Cherokee Avenue Baptist Church. He 1* IteliiK Pressed WUli Cull* to Other Citlen. The following concerning Rev. W. M. Vines, of Asheville, who is well known in GalToey, is from the Greens boro correspondence of the Charlotte Observer: ‘ Rev. VV. M. Vines, pastor of the First Baptist church at Asheville, has been the topic of much discussion and interest here and at Asheville for the past two months. Rev. W. C. Newton, the much-beloved pastor of the First Baptist church at Greens boro. recently resigned his charge, in consequence of a determination to take up missionary work in China. The congregation at once made a call for Mr. Vines. The popular preacher made a visit and preached two ser mons here, trreafly pleasing his two large congregations. He did not in dicate, however, whether he would accept the call or not, until last week, the congregation getting rest less and a little uneasy, sent a com mittee to Asheville to try and induce an acceptance. The committee was unsuccessful in getting a definite an swer, but on Friday a letter was re ceived declinihg the call. It seems that at the other end of the line there has been an equal degree of interest in this matter. Since receiving the call from Greensboro. Mr. Vines has also been invited to become the pas tor of a church ai Danville, Louis ville and Knoxville. “There was a report current in Asheville that to retain him the Asheville church had increased Mr. Vines’ salary sNJjOO per year. This rumor was elleotuully settled in a communication from the oflicnrs of the church to the Asheville Citizen, which incidentally shows this conse crated, godly man is so much in de mand. The card states that instead of the salary having been raised for the purpose of holding him, Mr. Vines, before this recent shower of calls, refused an increase of salary, and upon the assurance recently of an additional .foOU a year, he declared that instead of that having any inilu- ence over him, if he decided it was his duty to remain in Asheville, he should do so at his old salary, refus ing to consider the increase at all. In the meantime the congregation here is doubly disappointed, and the Ashe ville church buoyed up with hope of being able to keep its beloved pas tor.” Hi* Seventh Year In Gaffney. Rev. R. C. Campbell returned from Orangeburg Wednesday, where he went to attend the annual M. E con ference of South Carolina.
