He was always a lead re in political, civil and religioUt activities. Martin county has never furnished a man that did mora to re deem our state from impute political domination than did Wilson G.

From that time 011 the struggn was hard until 19(K) when the negrti was disfranchised and white sup rent acy was established in North Carolina Those Mho were associated with him in politics can attest thut lie was a statesman of the highest type, a politician for he sake of principles and not lor the sake of personal glory or profit. He paid little attention to town and county politics, centering hi attention to stale and national affairs. In 1881 he was a delegate; to the National Democratic Convention ami was chosen on the Notification Com mittee. He attended the Saratoga meeting, which notified Grover CleVe land, the first Democratic President after the Civil War of hi Anamination lie was again a delegate to the N'n tional Convention of 1892 and again in 1912 he ivpresented the First Dis trict in that great lialtimore Conven tion which nominated Woodoow Wil srn. He was again honored by tin convention by being placed upon tin committee to notify Mr. Wilson of his nomination. Since the present law creating the State Hoard of Elections which was passed in 1899 Mr* Lamb has been chairni-an of the Board. Though lie was tfhvays strong in his political «uu victions, his fairness to all parties wiia the occasion ol' special ..thanks iron) the chairman of the Republican pari) on numeivus occasions.

He was quite active in the engage ments around that city until the city was evacuated on Fefiruary 22nd, af ter Fort Fisher had fallen. Captain Elliot made especial men tion of his coolness and bravery in repulsing the Federals on North East river. After this encounter Lieuten ant Lamb was with his regiment at Kinston where some very hard fight ing took place. Lieutenant Lamb wu (Amended for bravery by his com manding officer on this occasion.

After u few years lv formed a connection with the whole sale firm of Daniel Miller and Co. and until the day of his death wu held in the highest esteem by th other members of this big company building for tem one of the best line; of trade enjoyed by any dealers ii this section. All of the older mei chants of this section speak in highe* term? of the honor and courtesy 0 Mr. Lamb.. He has lived through two business ages. Practically all the merchants that hi« o started with have long since passed away and for many years he has had their sons as his customers, lloth generations found in him the same grand man. One of the greatest joys of Mr Lamb's life were tiie meetings of the "Cincinnati," organized in 1783 witi George Washington us its first presi dent. State branches were organized in each of the thirteen original states, but became of the disintegration af ter the Civil War some of the chap ters became inactive. He with a num ber of citizens of the state, descend ants of men of Revolutionary fame, reorganized the North Carolina chap tor in 1896 with Col. Wilson G.

Group On eh as shown a greater li quidating power than we could have believed a year ago. The following comparative statements of 4H bank out of a total of 60 in the group re flect in our opinion a strong position and one that refl-.x'ts credit worthy of pruise. Capital and surplus, December 31, 1920, $3,(174,941.45; December 31, 1921 $2,608,232.94. Deposits December 31, 1920, $16,- 141,620.90; December 31, 1921 sl6, f»78,208.74.

A record not to be ashamed of. With the same caution exercised during the year 1922 we should see bills payable olf the books of all banks of the group. Many of the banks show that condi - tion to exist even now. I'rof. A. C. Kinaoy of the tate Col lege spoke on agricultural activities. C. E.
