At Piedmont Park last Thursday, there was held the Thomas Reunion. The descendants of the “Whits Pil grim” from near and far met to do • his memory, honor. Through the kind ness of the Thomas hospitality there were also present invited friends to share the joy of the cocasion. The reunion was held in the Cusino. The exercises attending thereto were begun by musii;, "Star Spangled dan- ner” fcy Wilson’s orchestra. The Rev. D. H- Tuttle, pastor of Front Street Methodist Church, led in prayer. Mr. E. S. W. Dameron of the local bar welcomed the visitors. —0— ■ SPEECH OF MR. DA.MEKaX. Mr. Dameron assured the goodly company that the descendants of Joseph Thomas were accorded a most hearty welcome by the people of Ala- n’ance. He sa\v in the commemova- t’on of the Jife of a preacher some* thing unique and deserving. "The un veiling of monuments to honor heroic dead, the erecting of statues to ccni- memoratt the lives of those dirtin- guished m statecraft we are accus tomed to . see; but there are not enough mojmments erected to memory of those, who, like the “White Pil grim,’’ go about doing good, perform ing their duty in fidelity and faith- folness. Ks spotless life was as pure as the garments which gave him hi.^ name.” Mr. Dameron said it was a beautiful thought to imaijine ihe “White Pilgj-im” clad in the immacu late white of Heaven looking do\TO over the battlements of the Kingdom of God TOth a joy unutterable as he saw those, his descendants, doing his memory such honor. He declared that the heritag-e of that memory- was a priceless possession. —0— 4 LiFE OF -‘WHITE PILGRIM." Dr. P. H. Fleming made the prin cipal address of the occasion, giving the facts of the life, and telling many ol the traits of that great man. Joseph Thomas, the “White Piigrint.” Joseph Thomas was born in Orange county, now Alamance, in JT'31, nt what was then known as Trollingcr’s Bridge. He was the youngest of a family of nine. At the age of .-;t!ven necessity compelled him to be .separ ated from the home of his hoyhrod, and he was sent to ‘‘a strange and in hospitable roof." His favoiite Imoks at this period were the New Ttsta- ment and the Economy of Life. After two yc&rs of this life of h:-i d- ship, his brother entered Joseph in school. In the neighborhood of his brother’s the young lad came in touch with a friend who was sincere and who meant njuoh to him in r;fs after life. The fi'iend oiur Andrew JoKn- son. Johnson gave him hoard ;ind furnished ;; tutor for him. E;ir!y in [ the life of Joseph Thomas there came the conviction that he niu^ be a preacher of the Gosp/?l. Hi? fatniiy fought the idea, his friends discour aged: yet with his indomitable ivil.l he carried his purpose throug:!?. Kve;> ill the first days of his ministry, v.-hen he W'as called the “Boy Preacher” his confrare.s- discouraged hini, toDin^ him that he was not called to prc-.-.ch. lliirdships an(i pain of ali ma'.^ner were his. Forsaken by a wr.nderer. he preached on. At first his effoits were of littie avail. It drove him to more study and deeper thought. With the years there came ic him a deep insight into the truths cf GoiJ's word, and a eonvipcing .^ni forceful manner of speech. His .iis- conrses were fjiined for th.:ir Ic.frical treiui. and wherever he went, groat good v.-as wrought. His tirst essay as a triivelirg evangelist was with Elder J. Warren in a trip ihrough the counties of Virginia. Even the Kld- cr did not understand the young man. Their relation together wan unphas- ant, and of short duration. —o— HE TOURED THE WEST. After a visit to his old home, the “White Pilgrim” set out for a lonely tour through the West. He sold his possessions and dressed completely in white in emulation, as he believed, of apostolic example. Ever thereaf ter he kept his garb. Journeying alone over the wjlds of the West, clad in white, p.'-eaching the Christ the maa Joseph Thomas became known as the ‘•White Pilgrim.” He entered into many states. He preached hundreds, yea thousands of times. He gave up all and endured all for the sake of what he thought was right. And his reward was then the knowledge '.:hat mankind was better for his liaving lived, and is now that his life is worthy of emulation. lie died afar at the age of forty-four. He sleeps in a httle chufchyftrd in New Jersey. He was pablishcr, poet, student and teacher. The fame -of hi.m has cbmo dowji to us, the honor of his memory is a goodly possession. At the conclusion of Br. Fleming’s address, Mr. Williams, of Ohio, one of the descendants of the “White Pil grim” sang in a mellow' voice a song, “White Pilgrim.” written to honor the man. —”0 ■■ THE AGE OF THO.MAS. Kon. W. H. Carroll, of the . iocal, bar, .spoke of the age in '(\hich Jose,111 Thomas lived, told something of his life and the few advantages be had as compared with ours. He said that Joseph Thomas was well kn/)wn dur ing the foriy-four years of his iife, that his influence had been felt from the Gulif of Mexico to New York s'.ate and largely in tho West. Mr. Car roll called his hearers to mind the great advantages of our (iay. He showed the re;Y3ons^bility that at tends this advantage. He spoke very interestingly of the descendants of the “White Pilgrim.” .\fter music and relaxation on the part of the audience, Capi. J. A, | Turrentine, the Man of Memory, pave | a few reminiscences of former days. He spoke first of the remarkableness of the occasion, of the wide-spread representation in personnel which the occasion had drawn. Presided over by a I.awyer Dameron, from Samp son county, invoked by Mr. Tuttle, from Caldwell county, addressed by 3I.'. Fleming, from N'e«’ Hampshire, the gathering was now to listen to a m£n from Home. Mr, Turr^ntine is ahvaj's a plensing- spealrer. He was a', his best. His wealth of reminis cence was upon display. Men say of him that he is walking ,history. He jusiiiied the remark. He told of the early church and camp meetings, go ing" into greatest detail. He spoke of Thomas Jefferson, how great he was and wliat good he did. He told of the contact he had had with the in fluences left by the “White Pilsrim.” THE REL’XIO.\ SPIKfT. Another selection by the orchertra and Kev. D. H. Tuttle told of the im pressions he gathered from the oc casion. He spoke of tha family as an irntitution, how di%ine it was, what it meant and shoiiid mean. He told of his recent trip to his own fam. ily reunion, and hii Ihoughts than visit brought to him. The home as | typical of the lieaveniy Home, thejj.. family as erablem'itic of God’s house- j ^ held, was his theme. The exaraple j committee, H. W. Trolliager, chair man, W. J. Thomas and Jiiss JT. Jcanna Jones, Graham; historial. Rev. P. K. Flcajijig. MANY CA.ME FROM WEST. There were in attendance one hun dred and forty-two of the d'rect de* scendanls of the "White Pilg;iin” and eighty-five visitors according; to the regi.stration books, and many names wele not secured on the books. There were Thomases there from Ohio. It is the custom to held this reunion in Ohio; but this year for the first time if \V2S brought south. There wa» a special train for the Thomas faijiily cut West, but just as the trip was started the death of Mr. W. K. Ihom- »s, the prime power in the reunion, the man slated for a big address h;re, caused a. chi.'ige of plan; and not only did th’ train not arrive, but niany of the TV‘'n;ases from ou! West were unable to attend on that acc'iiint. Still the occasion was one long to be remembered here, and was a genuine pkasiii'e to all who attended. O -A.ugust 24. -Mr. Editor; The clipping from Charlotte Obsej v- er in regard to opHtics in Carteret county is pertinent to Alamance coun ty. There are a number of Demo crats in Alamance who are sick and tired of the Court House Ring and Bosiism, and also the extravagant administration of our county affairs and running our county in debt, which now amounts to about ?350,000.00. There are a number of Democrats who would join any movement to nominate an Independent or Non-Partisan Coun ty Ticket, which I believe. If a good ticket was named would be clectcd. I v.-ant to say that I am not a candi date and would not accept any of fice, but I want to see a change. Xow J suggest that a committee composed of W. W. Brown, of the Progressives; J. 2. Waller, of the Republicans, to confer with a committe of Progress ive Democrats who are opposed to -the Court House Ring, to be named later, iirrange for a conference to discuss a ticket, composed equally from the three parties mentioned, to be sub mitted later to a mass meeting to be called for ratification. I would like to hear this discussed through the columns of The Dispatch and get the views from different sections of the county. I am in favor of naming a ticket compo.^ed of farmers and from the county precincts. I..et us discuss this. A PROGRESSIVE iJE.HOCRAT.
