Captain James Outlaw, was an outstanding Revo lutionary patriot. The section now known as Al bertson Township was at one time known as Captain Outlaw's district. As a matter of fact, Captain Out law's son, Edward, was a member of the court when the town of Ke nansville was laid out. But back ,to the present Outlaw, who has a. state-wide reputation as a Duplin County historian. As a youngster he did farm work but at the early age of 16 his know ledge of books and penmanship at tracted the attention of James J. Bowden, then register of deeds, and on August 1, 1910, he became Mr. Bowden's assistant. At that-time his salary was $10.00 a month.

Grove Church Oldest Of Its Denomination In State By: A. T. OUTLAW The Colonial Records of North Carolina, by Saunders, and othci reliable records, bear witness to the fact tb&t the Grove Church in Du plin is the oldest Presbyterian or ganization in the State. The founders were Scotch-Irish irom tne province of Ulster, in northern Ireland, and came to Am erica under the patronage of Hen ry McCulloch, a wealthy merchent of London, who had been granted by the Crown a vast amount of laifl in Carolina, about the year 1736. The worshipers, first referred to as "the Grove congregation", built their meeting house in the heart of the settlement but had no title for it until years later when McCulloch then a resident of Turnham Green, County of Middlesex, England, gave a deed for 'one acre on t'e south side of the Grove swamp near the bridge whereon the meet ing house now stands." For" a period of about twenty years there was no regular minister and the religious needs were parti ally met by missionaries from Penn sylvania and New Jersey where there was a rapidly growing Scotch Irish population. In those days the religious advantages were not what they are now. The mode of travel was on horseback, congregations widely scattered, and many of the missionaries and ministers spent a large part of their time in the sad dle. The territory was almost un limited and many difficulties had to be met and overcome. Like true and faithful servants of the Master, these men did their work, and their names richly deserve to be held in everlasting reverence and re membrance. Early Pastors. During the year 1756 the Rev. Hugh McAden, whose name is fa miliar, to all students of church history, came to the section while on-a" missionary tour of the State. He found the people deeply inter ested and they requested his ser vices as pastor. Soon after his re turn to Pennsylvania he attended a meeting of Hanover Presbytery in old Rockfish church, Nelson Coun ty, Virginia, and was regularly ad mitted) to membership. At that time the said presbytery included Virginia and the Carolines. He then returned to the Grove, purchased land and built a home near the meeting house, and became the first Presbyterian missionary to lo cate V in North Carolina. After twelve years in Duplin he located in Caswell County where he died in 1781. A State highway-historical marker in Duplin and a handsome monument at his grave in Caswell, honor and perpetuate his memory. Following McAden, other early notables who served as pastor of this historic old church were Rev erends John Robinson, Samuel Stanford, Alexander Mclver, Mal colm Connoly, and James M. Sprunt all widely known as powerful preachers who played important parts in the religious life of their church and State. The Academy. It is well known that the pastors, and others, in Scotch-Irish sett'e ments were very diligent in their efforts to open and operate schools and the Grove Academy, establish ed in 1785, was among the early educational institutions in the State. It was usually conducted by the pastor, in connection with his pastoral duties, and many of those who attended it later became out standing citizens of the State nd Nation. The Cemetery. The old cemetery (now called Routledge) is one of the oldest in this section of the State. There lie the remains of the first settlers, as well as their sons and daughters. They were Revolutionary patriots, clergymen, educators, faithful pub lic servants, soldiers of the Cross Among the marked graves are found such well known names as Dickson, Pearsall, Sloan, Mclntir-, Gillespie, Stanford, and others. The Bi-Centennlal. Appropriate exercises were held during the year 1936 in commemo ration of the two-hundreth anni versary of the settlement. A fu1! historical outline, including bio graphical sketches of the early pas tors, was read at the gathering. A State Highway-historical marker was erected and unveiled on the church ground and bears the leg- i end: "GROVE CHURCH. Presbytei- ian. First church founded by the Scotch-Irish who settled here about 1736." Since the time of Dr. Sprunt, the following good and noble ser vants of the Lord have filled the pulpit of this old churchv G. W. McMillan, Peter Mclntyre, R. V. Lancaster, W. M. Shaw, J. E. L. Winecoff, Robert King, W. F. Hol lingsworth, G. W. Oldham, J. W. Miller, Frank L. Goodman,, and. J. G. Morrison. Possibly others. N.

C. -; KenansvCIe's OrJy Insurance Agency How To Get Help When Polio Strikes 1. At the first sign of illnes-; call your own doctor. If he sus pects polio he will report the case to the local Health Department and arrange for hospitalizntBn or home care, as indicated. T'ie Nat ional Foundation does not -e'ect physicians or hospitals. This is a family matter. If you have no fam ily physician, rail your City or County Medical Society, your Board of Health or the nearest hospital. 2. If your doctors says it. is polio and requires hospit.iliznt'on. the local Chapter of the National Foundation will help -rranfe for transportation to a treatment cen ter. As soon as the patient goes to the hospital - - or if your doctor advises the patient can be' treated at home - - get in touch with your Chapter of the National Founda tion to a range for any needed as sistance. Your Chapter will get :n touch with you as soon as it learns of the case through your physician, the hospital or the Health Depart ment. However, late reporting or a heavy hospital load may delay this Chapter contact. If you do not hear promptly, telephone or visit your Chapter representative. You can ease your own worries sooner by making the approach yourself. 3. The Chapter representative will notify the hospital that it is ar ranging with you for full or part!al payment of expenses for medica care. Adults are as eligible for help as children. Discuss with your Chap ter how much of the full bill the Chapter will pay. a.) March of Dimes are used to help the medically indigent - - but this is not the same as "indigent " t includes families of moderate in come 'who cannot meet the high costs of modern care of this ex pensive disease. The help is a gift - not a loan, while families that an piy are expected to do so, to family is expected to impoverish itself to meet medical expenses of polio. , y b.) Even if you can assume full costs for initial hospitalization, Vt is a good idea to see your Chapter: If yours should be a patient who is sevevely affected -- and this can not be determined in the first few Add celery seed, if desired. - When baking apples, add honey and table fat to each cored apple. Baste with honey during baking. . Agent Warns Against -'- ' - ; I Machinery Accidents hl Farmers have established-an en viable performance in mechanizing their farms, except where they have let accidents mar the records, Lacy Weeks, county agent said Joday. America leads the world in me chanized agriculture. Three million tractors nor,play a vital role in the production and harvesting of the nation's crops, Mr. Weeks said. But at the same time reports that trac tors may be involved in nearly 75 of all accidents with farm machin ery. AJ1 ;fiozi accidents are need less. ' ; The main p.r'ety rnie for operSt irR tnctors in the field is Just good common sense. You can't afford to gamble the loss ot a limb or life by operating without the power take off sheicld in place. Cranking a tractor while in gear is another dangerous way to start a day's work. Excessive speed, and careless oper ation around ditches will also hurry a trip to the hospital. Jumping off tho tractor while in motion Is an other way to invite an accident. Careless parents who permit child ren to ride tractors or hitch a ride on trailing implements are not real ly thinkiii;- about the child's wel fare. ' State College Hint ToHomeMakeitr ; A clean kitchen range looks and also cooks better than one allowed to gather grease, spilled food, dust or rust For full, even, efficient heat cleanliness is Important Re flecting surfaces must be kept shin ing to do their Job of throwing out heat: A clean range also keeps the kitchen clean and free of unnecess ary smoke and odors. Wipe up 'spills and spatters as soon as possible. Grease, comes off most easily when fresh and hot Remember a wet cloth on a hot stove is a hazard to hands and may crack enamel. Ovens are often neglected be cause they are closed and out of sight Yet a dirty oven may smoke when heated so that foods cooked in it takes on an unpleasant taste. Leaving the oven open to cool helps keep it clean and fresh and pre vents rusting from closed-ln steam. State College days - - you may need help later on. Bills incurred in the weeks befo 'c your Chapter assumes financial re sponsibility cannot be paid. months afterward, but the Chapter will step in at whatever time you really need help. Have a frank, friendly talk with your Chapter representa tive at the beginning. 4. Chapters pay for hospitaliza tion, professional services inclu ding nursing and physical therapy, transportation to and from hospital, convalescent centers and clinics, treatment after hospitalization and appliances . such as wheelchairs, braces, etc., as needed. There are no hard or fast rules. Each case is decided -upon individual medical needs. Assistance is given regard less of age, race, creed or color.. More than 110,000 polio patients were directly assisted in full or part up to the end of 1948. 5.
