UNIQUE MEMORIAL SERVICES
Bock Hill anil Concord Good Health
Societies Pay Tribute to the Late
Dr. J. E. Mai one
About fifteen years ago, when he
was Superintendent of Health for
Franklin County and the town oi
Loulsburg, the late Dr. J. E. Mtlope
organized among the colored people
living along the water abed on either
aide of Tar Hirer above Louisbtfrg
several "Good Health" societies. The
objects of these organizations were
the general betterment of the health
conditions among these people and
the keeping of the water supply of
Loulsburg free from contamination
and under the tactful and sympa
thetic guidance of Dr. Maione liter
ature and suitable meeting places j
were provided. The natural love of
these people for musical expressions
was fostered and encouraged and the
organizations became real cultural
centres out of which among other
good things have come some choral
organizations of more than local re
pute. In November 1928 Dr. Maione
died but this work has gone on and
of their own initiative these societies
held on December 26, 1929, a mem
orial service in honor of the memory
of their friend and patron. With./the
co-operation of Dr. R. F. Yarborough,
present Superintendent of Health, the
courthouse in LouisbQrg, was pro
cured for these services and a pro
gram of readings, short talks and ne
gfo spirituals, rendered as only the
rial southern negro can render them,
touched and held an audience that
comfortably filled the auditorium for
more than two hours. The services
were presided over by James I. Mc
Knight. secretary of the Rock-Hill
Society and in addition to a number
Of readings, solos and choral selec
tions rendered by the Rock Hill and
Concord Societies, short talks wert
made by Uncle Bartlett Perry, presi
dent of the Rock Hill Society, Deacon
Sam Ryookj. Rev. D. P. Lewis and
Dr. J. B. Davis. The only white peo
ple taking any part in the exercises
were Dr. R. F. Yarborough, who paid
a beautiful tribute to Dr. J. E. Ma
lone , and Mr. E. H. Maione, a
son of Dr.- Maione, who In a few
words expressed the appreciation of
his faimly, many of whom were pres
ent.
Dr. Malone, who ni a man of fine
mind and rare culture, a slave owner
himself and the son of slave owners,
having spent mnch of his childhood
on a North Carolina plantation and
daring a long and active practice had
retained his contacts with these ne
groes. for whom he always felt a
deep Interest and real affection, and
few men conld better than he appeal
to the responsive nature or hold the
love and confidence of the best type
of southern negro whose simple sin
ceritjr and qi#et dignity Impels and
compels the respect and esteem of
every southern gentleman among
whose finest traditions Is a kindly
and protective interest in the colored
There was something finely im
pressive In this expression of love
and esteem of one race for one of
another who, as was said by one of
the speakers, could be most fittingly
described as one "who went about
doing good, and healing all who were
oppressed." In these times, such an
occasion gives us the best evidence
of the splendid feeling la this locality
among the best elements of both the
whits and colored races and is wor
thy of the caption "a unique memor
?al service".
