Tony E. Brewtngton The children of the late Rev. C.E. and Annie Lizzie Locklear presented pictures of their parents, a plaque and other cherished items to the Indian Religion Museum in Pembroke recently. A family pledge of SI,000 to the operation of the museum accompanied the presentation. Rev. Garence Eden Locklear repre sents an era, a tradition, a giant pillar of spiritual and community development. In many ways he was an anachronism to his time; always deeper in thought, broader in vision, bolder in business, and wiser in the ways and events of his days than his peers and associates. He found his roots and grew to maturity in the fields of Robeson County. At the age of twenty he was called to preach and began a ministry that took his pastoral leadership to thirteen churches in the Burnt Swamp Baptist Association. His aggressive leadership and powerful preaching was felt and utilized across the association with service as the associn tional moderator for four years, several years as Union moderator, and many more years as chairman and member of numerous committees and agencies. M; , was his urgency that led the association and community to organize the "Orph ans and Mothers Aid Society" in 1929, a forerunner to the ministry of the Odom Baptist Children's Home. He was one of a committee of five to attend the N.C. Baptist State Convention Annual Meet ing in Raleigh, 1930, to petition membership of the association in that body. His associational administration also led to the construction of a Baptist summer camp in Pembroke for boys and girls. As an aggressive evangelist, he could be heard on streets in Pembroke and Continued Page 4 the children: Joel Garth, Badarfch Glena, William Castor, Bandy Roes, Vera Deris, Cferance Fredrick; and Rev. Tony E. h photo] Baltimore's South Broadway Baptist Church announces new pastor by Herbert H. Locklear Mr. Lindsey Locklear, Chairman of the Board of Deacons at South Broadway Baptist Church in Baltimore. Maryland has announced the appointment of Rev. Charles Locklear as the Church Pas tor, effective October 1, 1983. According to Mr. Locklear, the Church members moved unanimously, on the second ballot, in favor of the ap pointment of Rev. Locklear. In canvassing some of the Church letters and lay mem bers, it was found that ex citement is high about the expectancy of Rev. Locklear moving to the Baltimore com munity. Here he will accept predominately Indian Com munity Ministry. Words used to express feelings about Rev. Locklear's coming were "ex cited," "a prayer answered," "I'mbeside myself," and"... Praise the Lord." I The former and founding Pastor of the Church was Rev. James M. Dial. Rev. Dial passed away suddently on January 20, 1983. "Since that time the Church has diligently sought the Lord and have abided our time," said Dea con Locklear. "We believe now is this time for a Pastor." Most recently. Rev. Lock lear served as Pastor of the New Bethel Church at Clin ton, N.C., where he resides with his wife Gwendolyn and son Jonathan, age 3. Rev. and Mrs. Locklear were in Baltimore recently when they were able to locate and secure housing in pre paration of their relocation to that area. Judge Britt throws out case against James D. McEachln, Jr. FAYETTEVILLE--After consulting his own dictionary U.S. District Court Judge W. Edrl Britt agreed with RobCor defendant James D. McEachin, Jr. and dismissed charges against him Tuesday in a non jury trial. In grating a motion for dismissal by McEachin's attorney, Alonzo Coleman. Britt cited a problem of semantics. The 39-year-old McEachin, charged with making false statements to the government, was the first defendant charged in the Robeson County probe of alleged corruption in the federal jobs training act to test his charges in the ,. courts. Coleman argued that McEachin had not intentionally falsified his CETA application by answering that he had never been convicted of a crime. Ia 1977 McEachin pleaded guilty to embezzling over SI,400 from a manpower develop ment firm id Robeson County. Coleman said McEachin determined that "conviction" meant being found guilty by jury or judge after consulting a dictionary. McEachin pleaded guilty to the charges in a non-jury trial. Assistant U.S. District Attorney Johnson Howard said entering a guilty plea constituted a conviction. Britt, also consulting a dictionary, said before dismissing the charge that even though he understood the definition in legal terms, he had "a lot of problems" with the case. The trial marked the first appearance ? of Christian Antwi, former head of the Department of Natural Resources in Robeson County. Antwi pleaded guilty in June to embezzling $259 in CETA funds in part . of a plea bargain arrangement. Robeson County Manager Paul Gra ham, county attorney Joe "Pete" Ward, former Robeson County commissioners chairman Herman Dial and Pembroke Elementary School Principal James Dial were among those arrested in the inves tigation. Their trials have been set for late October. Two other defendants, Alton White of Raeford and Eddie Smith of Rowland, both changed their initial not guilty pleas earlier this week and pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of misapplying less than $100 in CETA hinds. Sentencing for Antwi, Smith and White has been delayed until all U charged in the investigation have been tried. files for Pembroke Town Council i i femoo Oxen dine Mr. Vernon Oxendine, who recently retired as Pembroke's Police Chief after spending half a lifetime in law en forcement, announced today his inten tion to seek a seat on the Pembroke Town Council.
