In fact, as we look over the past months of 1969, we cannot help but praise God for victory all along the way., Because of faithful friends, like you, many thousands of _ blind persons have received the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Braille. Our monthly fellowship meetings for the Blind in New York City have had the greatest results ever. Decisions were made for Christ at these services when the invitation was given. Many recorded decisions for Christ have come to our office through our radio ministry as well as our tract dis- tribution. In spite of all the wiles of the devil, who has tried to hinder us by making things difficult, through Jesus Christ, we are more than conquerors! Bea and I know that the past year of victory on all fronts, with these decisions for Christ, could have never taken place without your partnership in the Gospel. May our Heavenly Father grant you a blessed Christmas and a most happy and joyous New Year, is our earnest prayer for you. Yours that they might see, (ehh. hotinuw & eS Rev.

Sloan and his family through the Rowan Historic Properties Commissian. — There are no strings attached to the gift except that the county agreg to'main- tain it. Plans are now to restore the old mill, subject to the agreement, Money will have to be raised for the ' ' The old Kerr Mill on Sloan Read at al was bought by Jamies Sloan in the 1930's from the estate of his : & y “unele Jimmy Sloan.’’ : Uncle Jimmy Sloan acquired the mill from P.O. Tatum, who had Pra" f ts oPiginal Owner Dr. Sammel “before 1906.”’ fe Dr. Kerr built the beautiful did struc- ture in the earl 8, using his 200 or ~~ more TENE UIE the tlay ior the BRCES and quarry the stone for the foundation. The slaves also constructed most of the building, except for laying the hand-made bricks. Slave labor was also used for molding the kilning the beautiful bricks. Dr. Kerr's home stands on & hillside, about @ quarter of a mile: further’ west along Sloan Road, overlopking the creek bottom lands.

Sloan and his wife have a madesi, relatively modern house just up the green’ slope from the mill, which stands majestically on the banks of Kerr Creek. ae lived in this same house since 1925, not long after their mar- riage. — Mn o8 Sloan operated the. mill until the early 1940's. ‘Since then, he has used the building for an office and storage for his scale business except for a time when a young man lived in the mill. The young man wanted to buy it for a home, but Sloan wouldn’t sell it. This fine old structure would have made an unusual and lovely dwelling —and still would —a home which could not be duplicated in beauth of line and sturdy Structure. HAND-MADE BRICKS The mill stands on seven acres of ground on the west bank of Kerr Creek Across the creek on the east side is the area where the stone was quarried and the clay dug for construction of the building. The clay was molded. and kilned on the site into hand-made bricks. the acreage belonging to the i 18 or 20 feet across the cfeek,” the site of the clay bed and nity owned by Roy A. Morgan. did the mill property “‘cross the creek?” There are a number of ex- planations, one being that the creek bed could have shifted over the years. But Sloan's theory is that the line crossed the creek because “the dam crossed the creek” when the mill was run by water wheel power. Sloan said that some 50 years ago, the creek was ‘wide enough for a good size fact, the dredge boat then was’ . 20 feet wide and 60 feet long, and ‘Operated along the waterway with ease This big dredger ‘“‘operated back then 24 hours a day.’ The boat had a steam engine and boiler fired with wood: ‘cut along the creek banks” as the boat steamed up the steam with its big dredge shovel in front clearing the creek of its shifting sand. Later, the dredging of the stream was done with a ‘‘drag line which ran along the creek bank." Original power for the mill came from a pond and “‘overshot type wheel’’ with the dam just above the mill on the north side. Early in the 1800's, the mill was run by bringing water through a canal around the hillside, and the water wheel was moved to the south end of the mill using the undershot type of whee! Engineers who reversed the water wheel from the overshot type (where water ran over the top into buckets tur- ning the wheel) to the undershot type (where the water rushed in under the wheel for power) said this method would produce enough power for the mill’s operation. But when the change was completed, they found that they had miscalculated and there just wasn’t enough power to turn the wheel and operate the new machinery which had been installed STEAM POWER That was around 1895, according to Continued on Page 3C ‘Continyed from Pag iC © - Sloan, so instead of cha back to the old style of operation, tie roller system ‘was installed and the oe made to steam power He explained that thee are two types of stone grinding, One fhat uses a top stone which revolves on another Stationary one; and another which is the reverse —the bottom stone revolving and the upper one statipnary._ The roller type mill had “stands” with two sets of rollers. This particular one had five stands (machines) for grinding wheat for flour and corn for meal. Sloan was in the business of grinding grain for merchants in the area, and also did custom grinding for farmers —grinding the grain they grew for a portion of the yield. Shortly after converting to steam operation, Sloan was fo a new diesel power p couldn’t get enough cord with steam. The diesel powe until the mill ceased operation. The old mill is a SI of the beautiful architecture of the era, resem- bling something of old wapid symetrical lines and something of New England Stability and loveliness. Built on a stone foundation, roughly four feet thick, the strugture is three stories high with full basement. Some of the foundation stones are said to weigh 5,000 to 6,000 pounds. The beautiful hand-made brieks were molded and-laid in “opposite courses” along the roof etige, some rounded and others ‘‘cuffed out.’” The convex (curved outward) and concave (curved inward) style of brick laying gives @m interesting andjbeautiful ornamental effect. Above the windows, the bricks were laid ver- tically in a fan design. 20 INCH WALLS The brick walls are 20 inches thick on the ground floor, ‘‘coming off one course" for each of the other stories =. Two main beans on the first floor are 50 feet long by 12 by 18-inches in diameter cut from “ieart’’ wood. These beams, as well as others in the building, have “‘no sap wood in them,” all being cut in one piece from the hearts of trees, indicating tremendous trees growing in the area at the time. Main timbers in the basement are about 30 feet long and 24 inches in diameter. Floor joists are ‘“‘mortised and ten- dered” (cut and fitted) into the main beams or timbers. Floor boards, one and one-half inches thick, are of variegated widths. The floor boards (many of them left like that today) were also mortised and tendered. The boards hollowed out at each end and the ‘‘tenon”’ piece fitted into the grooves. Sometime over the years, floor boards on the first floor were nailed down for safety, but those on the second and third floors:are mostly mortised and tendered so that each board can be lifted up. This was ah easy method of placing machinery in the early days by lifting it through the floor by biock and tackle. The mill is silent now. So are the frien- diy voices of farmers as they wait their turn, and the hum of huge machines. Only the soft noises of insects and the whisper of running water over moss- covered stones is heard. The sweet smell of freshly ground corn no longer mingles with the soft sugamer breezes Mést of the machinery has long since disappeared. At Kerr Mill, there remains one of the large round stones used-to crush grain —lying in a tangle of shrubs beside the building. Inside the mill, one of the wooden trough conveyers remains attached to the ground floor ceiling beams. Another con- veyer, equipped with wooden paddles, lies on the floor on the second story. The pad- dies are attached to a roller which revolved in the conveyer, separating chaff fram the grain during the milling process. One piece of machinery is left standing on the second floor. This peculiar piece was ‘adaptable to the new system of refining flour and meal,’’ according to Sloan, and is probably 100 years old. It was known in the business as ‘‘a reel,’ representing the ‘‘rotl type’’ operation of roller mills. The reel has huge metal rollers, which were covered with fine silk in bygone days of the industry. The corn and wheat Was run through the silk of the reel after it was ground to ‘‘refine’’ or sift the finished product. James Sloan says his family agrees with the decision to make a gift of the mill to Rowan County. The Sloans’ son, William Sloan, is an architect in High Point, He has begun his own histerical collection about his native home. He has pictures and historic data of many sites in Rowan Kerr Mill is the only one in Sloan 8 col- lection. But it has long been a favorite landmark of Rowan. .

Then this mornim I put down all the errors and cOrrectinns on one typewritten shect and ane mailed it. to him along wiéh much more m terial. However, some of my coprections I am not quite sure about so ‘old him I wouldwite and ask you aba t them.

GABRIEL HEATTER 179 N. MICHIGAN AVENUE CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60601 ss / Meeting evedied ° NEW YORK (AP) — Time di magazine says the late Dr, Mar. Di tin Luther King Jr. muted his 4 criticism of the FBI after its di- St4 rector, J. Edgar Hoover, con- at fronted him with wiretaps re- W! vealing king’s alleged extra- PT marital activities. In an article discussing anew ™4 book about King, “The King Mi God Didn’t Save,” by novelist John Williams, Time gives its version of a 1964 meeting be- | tween King and Hoover. ' Time says Williams reports the FBI began tapping King’s tel e and bugging his hotel in 1963 and while it un- covered no subversion it ‘did turn up an ore amoun 0 fon abou 8 ex- tensive and Vigorous sereal ac- iivities. Time continues: ‘Williams has the correct outline of the FBI tape story. What he does not have is precisely what hap- - pened at the celebrated meeting § between FBI Director Hoover and King in 1964. “Hoover, Time learned, ex- plained to King just what dam- aging private detail he had on the tapes and lectured him tha DiS TDOra s sho Id De Ti ose-befit- ling a Nobel Prize winner, He also suggested that King should tone down his criticism of the FBI. King took the advice. His decline in black esteem fol- lowed, a decline scathingly nar- rated by Williams.” The fact that the FBI had been tapping King’s telephone was disclosed last year by FBI agent Robert Nichols in a Hous- ton, Tex., courtroom where box- er Cassius Clay was seeking to vacaté a sentence for refusal to be inducted into the Army. One of the monitored conversations was between King and Clay. Nichols was not allowed by the judge to say why King’s of damage, —phone.was tapped, but he said it 2 ‘damage have been occurred at a time when King was attacking the FBI for as- ’ signing Southern agents, rather than Northerners, to protecting civil rights workers. ‘ House at Cedar Point It was built with the _ Coastal winds in mind. By DON ABOOD Folklore surrounds the -old eight- sided house built by Edgar Hill over 100 years ago on a 2,080-acre tract in Cedar Point, just across the creek from Swansboro. John Weeks, a Cedar Point store owner, says the house was constructed with eight sides to stop the wind from howling about the corners of the build- ing. John S. Jones, a descendant of Ed- gar Hill and the present owner of the architectural oddity, doesn’t know if the story is true. “All I’ve ever been told,” says Jones, “is that the house was built like this to keep the wind from whistling around.” Jones has lived all his 89 years in the octagonal house and “never known it to shake from a hurricane.” The house was once part of @ plan- tation where cotton and corm were farmed. According to John Weeks the property “ceased to be a plantation in 1935” and the tract was subdivided THE STATE, APRiL 1, 1970 Unusual octeges. house, built between 1856-1860 as part of a plantation in Cedar Point is now ~ owned by John S$. Jones who's lived there all his 89 years.—(Photo by Don Abood.) into smaller lots which were sold. “A lot of changes, of course,” adds Jones. “After the Civil War . . . the ’ plantation was changing . . . we’ve sold a great deal of it and it’s farmed by people who’ve bought the property.” “There were very few houses here when I came,” says Weeks, who moved to Cedar Point in 1930. Since then the population of Cedar Point and neighboring Swansboro has increased considerably. Lifestylés in the area have changed, but the old house hasn’t. Yes, it’s weatherbeaten, but the men who took hammers and nails and wooden pegs to shape the homestead with one-inch pine boards were craftsmen. The lum- ber is probably as sturdy today as it was in 1860 when it was fastened to the framework, and the bricks of the foundation and four chimneys con- nected to twelve fireplaces won’t crum- ble. Measuring fifty feet front to back, the house boasts twelve rooms (a fire- place in each) and was originally painted white. Today the boards are bleached grey in some places, silver in others. Explains Jones: “Paint doesn’t penetrate the hard pine so it won’t stick like it should.” - A pleasant private place to be but not entirely secluded, the house is situated a half-mile off Highway 24 cast of Swansboro. It is bordered by the White Oak River and fields and woodland: The casua) motorist driving along the highway is almost certain to bypass the house for only the cupola and second story are visible, through the trees and foliage which separate it from more contemporary surroundings. Almost a monument, the home rests in a timeless idyllic environment far from the rush- of a world geared to run much faster. Much is present to remind the writ- er of days he is too young to know except through history. Steel plows, water pumps, meal grinders, livestock harnesses — relics of a past not auto- mated or electric which, in their place, seem not at all like artifacts. One is both very old and very young being there. “I’ve lived here alone for the past ten years since my wife died,” Jones says. “The house is old like I am. I don’t know . . . I can’t get any help... . anybody to work.” He moves about the yard, supported by a walking cane, showing the visitor the house. A brightness in his eyes when he speaks almost denies his age and that of the house and the possi- bility of loneliness. 13 William Rufus King, of Sampson County, elected Vice President of the United. States. He Served the — Shortest Term By ROY Z. KEMP Of the men who have served as Vice- Presidents of the United States, seven have died in office. One of these seven was William Rufus King, a North Carolinian, born in Sampson County April 7, 1786. He was elected to the vice-presidency on March 24, 1853, to serve under President Franklin Pierce, but actually filled his post for only 25 days, the shortest term of office in our government's history. King’s health was very_bad; he was in the last stages of tuberculosis and was recuperating in Cuba, so weak he could scarcely stand on his feet, when, by a special act of Congress, the oath of offtse was administered to him by the American consul. King was elected 14 on the first ballot, and had been nomi- nated unanimously. He lived barely long enough to return to his home in Alabama, and died April 18, 1853, the day after his arrival home from Cuba Although history does not place the name of William Rufus King in the position of one of its great men, it is notable that the language used to de scribe both the man and his work is suited for the men who miss the repu- tation which they deserve because their work is not spectacular King graduated from the University of North Carolina, then practiced law in his home state, and was elected to the legislature, when he -was_ only 21 years old. He was- exceptionally well informed on Parliamentary law He sat in the House of Representatives from 1810 to 1816, then served for a time as secretary of the American lega- tions at both Naples and St. Peters- burg. After moving to the state of Ala- bama, he represented that state in the Senate. from 1819 to 1844; then was Minister to France until 1846, return ing to the, Senate until 1852. He served several times as president pro tem. -As Minister to France, his dignified but courteous manners and ample for- tune ensufed success in the perform ance of the ceremonial and social duties of the office. His chief public duty was to prevent the government from taking active steps to prevent annexation of Texas. As Senator, King’s dignity and mod eration kept him during the greater part of his orthodox Democrat, who could sway the Senate career a -consistent and who watched carefully over the interests of the South. His were his dignity and his vreatest characteristics regard tor order and pri ypriety A tal appearance, King was fitted to hold an unruly large man distinguished Senate in awe. He had never sought to earn a brilliant reputation as but he was a pleasing, clear and well-informed speaker, and possessed a tion of the points at issue King warmly favored a very liberal ‘a5 : a golden-voiced Orator, quick percep policy in the disposition of the national domain, and as chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Lands, he pre- sented voluminous, reports which con- demned the use of public lands as a source of governmental revenue It was said of him: “His was not one of those cold and impassive characters which shed: their light without heat, but its kindly influence fell and friendly warmth circle he might move.” Another eulogy reads: “He stands to the memory, in sharp outline, as it the SAY, lik« with venial were against some chiselled column of antique art, Or some consular statue of the imperial republic \ dir ble robe repudic wrapped in its mardie robes, grandly beautiful in the simple dignity and unity of a faultless proportion.
