nent chairman and the Democrats
clothed Walter Murphy, of R'owan,
with that honor, and elected W. W.
Meal, of McDowell, for secretary. Mr,
Neal will make the nominations this
morning.
Scenting the possibility of a fight
to the finish over more man one mi
nor place, R. T. Fountain suggested
that these minor offices be put ottt of
the way first, and let the unanimous
actions conclude the meeting. It was
so ordered, and the chairman called
lor nominations for engrossing clerk.
The call loosed the flood gates of ora
tory, and the bitterest contest of the
event ng.^
N. A. Town send presented the
hams of Otis P, Shell, of Harnett,
painting a fine picture of his subject's
services to the party, and conoludlsf i
with some resentment of recent press
mention of the fact that Mr. Shell's i
tondnet of the engrossing clerk'* at
t ice was the subject of some legltla- ]
tlV# investigation two sessions ago.
He was cleared of the charges.
Editor J. B. Sherrlll, of^Cabarrus,
the flrst_Democrat_la years to come

PMONE 383
MB. E. 8. (JBEJEX DKAI)
? Mr. Eugene S. Green, one Of Louls
burg's pioneer citizens anci> business
men died at the home o( his daughter,
Mrs. T. W. Watson, on Main Street,
on Thursday afternoon, December 28,
1922, at about ^8:30 o'clock. Mr.
Green was In his 70th year and leaves
two sons. Dr. E. S. Green, of Mon
roe, and Mr. Wilson Green, of Sum
ter, S. C., three daughters, Mrs. T.
W. Watson, of Loulsburg, Mrs. Lloyd
Ules. of Greensboro, and Miss Annie
Green, or ba^lsburg, one brother, Mr.
Arch Green, of" Philadelphia, Pa., and
one sister Mrs. A/*M. Hall, of Louls
burg.
Mr. Green was a man of strong
business ability having been Intimate
ly connected with the growth of
Loulsburg and very active In lis busi
ness life until about eight years ago
when he suffered a stroke Qf paralysis
from which he never recovered, al
though he continued to look after bis
business affairs until a few months
ago. He only lacked a few months
graduating from Wake Forest College,
his graduation being prevented by
falling health.
He was converted when a small boy
and became connected with the Bap
tist faith later becoming a member of
Loutsborg Baptist chtrrcfi, and was a
consistent member for 36 years, and
aervetl his church as Treasurer for
many years, and as ? Superintendent of
the Sunday school jtor a long period.
He was a most devoted and affectionate
husband and father, and a neighbor
that will be greatly missed. His In
fluence was a valuable asset both to
his church and community.
In the going of Mr. Green, Louis
burg has lost one of her most re
markable men. He was an outstand
ing man as to intellect. His was one
of the keenest minds we have met.
How fortunate it was too that his
mind was. bright and clear even till
the very approach of death.
His submission and patience through
eight years of Illness luase him an
outstanding christian character. *
He loved the Lord, and he loved hu
manity; and he knew how to suffer
beautifully to the Glory of the Lord.*
The funeral services were conduc
ted on Friday afternoon at 3 :-30 o'clock
from the home of his daughter, Mrs.
T. W. Watson, by Bev. J. A. Mclver,'
his pastor, and the Interment was
made at Oaklawn cemetery beside the
remains of his beloved wives. Large
numbers of Loulsburg .citizens attend
ed. both services showing a beautiful
| esteem. The services were simple
but Impressive and the floral tribute
was especially profuse and beautiful
speaking a message of love and es
teem beyond the power of words to
express. During both of the services
a choir sweetly sang several selections
The pallbearers were M. S. Clifton,
J. W. King, L. L. Joyner, J? M. Al
len, W. H. Allen, W. N. Fuller.
