“I enjoy so much reading The Pilot.
It seems like a friend coming to see
me. How is brother M. D. McNeill?
I hope the very best. In school as a
boy he was my real friend, and I’m
sure he has few equals. Many
years have passed since I went to
school in Moore county, but they are
fresh in my mind as yesterday. It
was in Moore county I learned the
true worth of character. I am sure if
those of my friends whom I once
knew in Moore only knew how well I
could and would entertain them, they
would pay me a visit.” Mr. Ward who

Card of Thanks
Through the columns of The Pilot,
wish to express my heart felt thanks
i:o the many people who worked so
: 'aithful where the miraculous accident
lappened to my husband, and for the
many deeds of kindness shown in tak
ing myself and children to visit him
at the hospital, in offering their ser
vices in carrying on the work at our
tiome, the kind words and letters of
sympathy received. My husbanud is
back at home now, and doing nicely,
t seemed the great hand of God was
)y him, and I feel that we ought to
give God the honor and thanks by giv
ing Him His part of our life.—Mrs.
Milton Thomas, Cameron, N. C.
Many, many years had passed since
saw the little colored maid, compan
ion of my childhood, who used to
“fetch and carry” for me, tuck me in
bed at night, listen devoutly while I
repeated my prayer, then lie down on
tier little couch close beside my bed.
Saturday a colored girl called at my
back door, saying “Here is some one
i:o see you.” Answering the call I saw
a neat and rather distiguished looking
colored woman, dressed in deep
mourning, standing on the porch. She
did not speak; just looked me straight
in the face, and something in the
twinkle of her eye, a peculiar turn of
the mouth caused me to say, “Is this
Rhode?” She replied, “Yes, Miss
Mothy Jane, it is me and I’m so full
can’t speak. We are the last of
the white and colored who lived at
the old home.” Needless to say I was
delighted to see her, and what a rush
of childhood memories came over me.
But now she is no longer Rhoda, but
a highly respected and devout Christi
an woman, and great church worker;
by name Alice Brown, of Jonesboro,
married for many years, the mother
of twelve children, some living, some
dead. She has had her sorrows, as
most of us do if we travel far the
pathway of life. She has three daugh
ters married, one living in Baltimore;
one in Washington, D. C., and another
in Tuskeege, Ala. Last year she
spent six months at this wonderful
Institute for the colored race. It was
quite interesting to hear her tell all
about her visit there. Now I wonder
if any of the grand children of grand
father Jack McNeill, who are sub
scribers to The Pilot, and read the
Cameron letter, will remember
“Rhode.”
GRIST FOR COMMISSIONER OF
LABOR AND PRINTING
The following sublime poem written
by the Board of Aberdeen, was recent
ly sent to the Cameron correspondent,
who passes it on the The Pilot for
publication, so that the few remain
ing old timers and subscribers to The
Pilot who hope to attend the Home-
Coming at old Bethesda church may
have the pleasure of reading and then
clipping for a memento.
Lay me there, 0, lay me there,
When the blink is out, now feebler
growing.
Where nothing stirs but the rustling
air.
The graves with withered leaves are
strowing.
Lay me there, O, lay me there.
Near to the proud old oaken trees.
Beside the Old Kirk, langsyne, where.
The throngs, now dead, bent rever
ent knees.
The Shaw, MacNeill, the Blue, the
Graeme,
In fulsome congregations thronged
To worship Great Jehovah’s name.
And sing His praise in Psalms pro
longed.
Silent now the Old Kirk bell;
Silent now the reverent choir.
That o’er my young heart cast a spell.
As if archangels thrummed the lyre.
The partridge whistles o’er the vale,
Where once fond lovers congregated.
And there poured forth the tender tale,
Of new-born love, of hearts true
mated.
Where are those lovers fond and leal ?
Where that concourse of godly men ?
They rest hardby in hallowed weal,
In silent bivouac through the glen.
A calm rests o’er the Kirk-Yard now,
Where bouyant youth were estwhile
keeping;
The sky looks down with her bonny
brow.
Like mother’s watch on her children
sleeping.
Lay me there, O, lay me there.
Amid the hush of generations;
I want no dirge, but the rustling air,
And rest, sweet rest, sans lamenta
tions.
To the People of Moore County:
In 1917 when our boys donned their
khaki and went forth to serve their
country in the most terrible conflict
that ever cursed the world, we prom
ised then that, upon their return, we
would give them preference in politi
cal matters. Among the many who
fought on the battle-torn fields of
France was Frank D. Grist, now can
didate for Democratic nomination for
Commissioner of Labor and Printing.
He served with the 2nd Machine Gun
Battalion, First Division, and partici
pated in three major engagements.
Machine Gunners occupied a most per
ilous position, and Grist was wounded
on the Meuse-Argonne and spent
eight months in a hospital.
Shipman, Grist’s opponent, has held
the office of Commissioner of Labor
and Printing for 16 years, and was a
clerk in this office prior to becoming
Commissioner. He has served long
enough. During the World War,
whi^e Shipman was feeding at the
State’s table, with a good salary,
GriLt Vv-as fighting and suffering for
his country. He served his country
in the hour of its distress, and we
ought not to forget him now. I call
on mothers and fathers whose sons
served in this awful conflict, and upon
patriotic men and women everywhere
to vote for Grist in the second pri
mary. In doing so, you will keep
faith with the men who fought and
suffered.
Yours very truly,
This June 28, 1924 R. L. BUI^NS.

Having been earnestly requested by
many of my friends to enter a second
primary to settle the contest for the
nomination for the office of Register of
Deeds, I hereby announce that a sec
ond primary has been asked for and
will be held at the various precincts
of the county on July 5th, 1924.
I thank my many friends who stood
by me in the first primary and as I
made no canvass for votes, I consider
the vote I received, with so many in
the field, very gratifying. I will ap
preciate your support on July 5th.
Again thanking you, I am,
E. C. MATHESON.
TO MOORE COUNTY DEMOCRATS
Unfortunately we are to have a
second primary, my opponent, Mr.
Matheson, having called for another
family contention. This is a surprise
to many of his own friends, as after
his active canvass before the first pri
mary out of 2077 voters over 1500
voted for a change in the Register’s
Office, mainly on the ground that his
12 years in office in Moore County is
long enough. And so far as I know,
the primary was fairly and honestly
conducted.
I urge my many friends to be active
in getting out our full vote and see
that the expressed will of the people
be not now set aside. Assuring you
of my appreciation in the majority
given me in the first primary over
Mr. Matheson, and urgently request
ing my friends to go to the polls on
July 5th, and give me an overwhelm
ing majority and again thanking you,
I am,
Respectfully yours,
(Ju.5) W. J. HARRINGTON.
