"Jim" Jones, Body-(juard of President Davis, Dies
in Washington and Buried ,
in Raleigh. \
(By Maxwell Gorman.)
Raleigh, April 13.—The annual
meeting of the North Carolina
State Sunday School Association
has been in session in Raleigh the
last and there is a
large attendance, including some
forty expert Sunday School work
ers representing all the evangeli
cal churches. Gilbert T. Stephen
son of Winston-Salem is presi
dent, and D. W. Sims of Raleigh
secretary of the association.
Among the prominent men en
gaged in the work is Lieutenant
Governor W. B. Cooper, member
of the executive committee of the
North Carolina Sunday School
Association and teacher in Grace
M. E. Church Sund*y School,
Wilmington. Governor Cooper
presided at the session of the
adult division of the meeting to
day.
Other distinguished workers
from $ distance include Dr. Gil
bert Glasfe, Richmond; Prof. H.
H. Harris, Emory University, Ga.;
Mrs. Maud Junkin Baldwin, Chi
cago, 111., superintendent, chil
dren's division, International Sun
day Schqol Association; Dr. Joseph
Broughton, Atlanta, Ga., super
intendent, Tabernacle Baptist
Snnday School; Mr. J. A. Brown,
Chadbourn, of the Presbyterian
Sunday School, and member of
executive committee; Dr. Will* B ™
A. Brown, Chicago, 111., a mem
ber of the staff of the Interna
tional Sunday School Associa
tion.
The organization stands for
those interested in common to all
Sunday School workers. It is a
systematic effort of workers from
the various denominations to
create public sentiment in favor
of more and better denominational
Sunday Schools. It strives to
help by way of suggestion not by
authority; therefore, it, helps
many, it hinders uone.
It seeks helpful co-operation,
not union. Its conventions and
institutes discuss methods of
work, not church doctrine. These
conventions and institutes are
really frc e schools of methods on
Sunday School work, open to all
who will attend. Leaders in
thought in the vwrious denomina
tions help in this work.
In its work the North Carolina
Sunday School Association is
interdenominational, for in fts va
rious conventions and institutes
leaders from various denomina
tions take part. But in results it
is denominational, for if a worker
ppts into use the methods he hears
discussed in th'ese meetings, he
increases the efficiency of his
own denominational Snnday
School. ""1

labor officials of North Carolina

"Jlin'' Jones Burled In Kalelgli.
James H. Jones, who was the
body-guard of President Jefferson
Davis of the Southern Confed
eracy, when the latter was cap
tured by Federal troops, was
buried here this week, following
his deatb, in Washington, D # C.
"Jim" had a State-wide acquaint
ance with prominent public men
of North Carolina and was per
sonally known to many men of
National reputation. Ilis service
to President Davis was the proud
est spot in his heart and he never
ceased to boast of it.
Jonas was born in Warren coun
ty, North Carolina. After the
war he headed a negro fire depart
ment in Raleigh and became a
minor city official. Hp turned
Republican in politics, but always
voted for Representative William
Ruffin Cox of North Carolina, who
represented the State in the House
in the forty-eighth and forty-ninth
Congresses. Latet wliep Gen Cox
became Secretary of the United
States Senate be took Jones to
Washington with him and gave
him a messenger's job in the
Senate. That was in 1893. Since
that time he has had several jobs
about the capitol and was a mes
senger in the Senate stationery
room until a short time before his
death.

There is considerable comment
and some feeling conceiuiug the
statement sent out by Stale In
surance Commissioner Wade con
cerning the alleged "blue sky"
stock operations of the Interna
tional Petroleum Company, of
San Antonio, Texas, and involv
ing the business character of Ro
land F. Beasley, until recently
State Commissioner of Public Wel
fare, and whose reputation among
the people here who have known
him has been unquestioned. Com-
GRAJiAM, N. 0.. THURSDAY. AI'BIL 14, 19^1
missioner Wade stated that the
concern had no State license and
that its efforts to bqJI blue *ky oil
stock to citizens of North Caro 1
lina is illegal; that the company's
advertisements presume too much
on the argument that one of its
officers, Mr. Beasley, 'till recently
was a State officer aud now repre
sents the oil corporation, after
having thoroughly examined into
the affairs of the company and
becoming satisfied that it is doing
a perfectly legitimate business,
etc \
Mr. Beasley has sent word from
Texas that his company has jiot a
single solicitor for business acting
personally as such in North Caro
lina, that all its advertising iu
this State has been done through
the Uuited States mails, and that
if the company was not stra'ght
the United Statet authorities
would have barred it from the use
of the mail long ago. He adds
that the reason the company has
not yet taken out license iu North
Carolina is because the tax is pro
hibitive. As "it "has no agents
working personally in the State it
is not necessary for the oil com
pany to pay the high license and
that what he and his company
are doing is both legal and legiti
mate.
Be that as it may, the warning
of the insurance commissioner
against all blue sky stocks, the
purchase of some of which the last
few years has played the dickens
with many North Carolina in
vestors, especially among the
farmers, is timely aud should
serve as a caution in future trans
actions of the sort, .no mattes
Whose names are connected with
the oil and other "get-rich-quick"
concerns offering stock for sale.
They Hope To Get the Money.
Governor Morrison and Treas
urer Lacy have beeii to New York
iu quest of investors who would
buy State bonds, and tin conti
deuce displayed by the Governor
on the eve ot his departure seoms
to be borne out by developments.
The understanding is that, the
money will be available,as needed
for both road building construc
tion work provided for at the
State institutions, and other pur
poses. The special session of the
Legislature, which some of the
critics of the aiministration have
been predfcting will probably not
become necessary iu the opinion
of Governor Morrison, Chairman
Doughton, of the IIoTK©. Finance
Committee, and others, during
the last few days on State busi
ness, aud who are much better
qualified to pass judgmeut on the
subject than the critics.
Power Company Kates to Mill* t'p
Again.
The State Corporation Commis
sion this week is again consider
ing and hearing argument in the
cases brought by a number of cot
ton mills of the Stale against the
Southern Power Company, the
big corporation which supplies
electrically transmitted power to
'a large number of industrial
plants of the State—the object be
ing to hold the big octopus
contracts which would compel iff
to furnish power for some years
yet to the little octopuses for less
than the power company cau
transmit, the hitter claims
Publication of a story indi
cating failure of the Southern
Power ( ompany to furnish the
Corporation Commission with evi
dence of its tax valuation oil prop
erty in South Carolina, draw from
members of the com mission the
statement that no cuch informa
tion had been demanded of the
petitioning power company or its
attorneys.
Members of the commission
made plain the distinction be
tween tax values aud reproduc
tion values of the company's prop
erty, po nting out that the tax
values are fixed, by the State's
taxation authorities and not by
the company's. The values of the
Southern Power Com pauy in South
Carolina are contrasted, in the
publication this morning, with
the figures submitted by the coin
mission.
Attorneys for the cotton uiilltt
reacting the rate increase have
received the tax figure* jjfroin the
B-nth Carolina authorities. On
the question of demand for their,
the commission pointed out today
that Vice-Presideut Lee told at
torneys for the mills thai his com
pany had no objection to these
figure* going into record.
Methodist Protestant College
For Alamance County.
The Methodist Protestant Churcn of North
Carolina.is going to build a coHege. It has not
been located, but it will be inside of six weeks.
*
Alamance wants the college and a supreme
effort is going to be made to secure it.
Burlington has taken the initiative, and Gra
ham and Haw River have joined hands with Bur
lington to get the college for Alamance.
A fine site of 30 acres a few hundred yards
north of Graham station and on the street car
line is offered, and in addition it is proposed to
give $200,000.00. This is the goal aimed at.
To raise the fund will require a united effort
on the part of everyone—work, real work, but
it will be worth it. #
Burlington, Graham and Haw River have or
ganized teams with captains and workers to
make a thorough canvass for subscriptions. No
effort will be spared.
AIL the churches feel that this college will be
a good thing for the community and a general
church rally will be held at all the churches Sun
day.
Now, for a united effort!.
