Mr. Oakley McNeill Killed by Train at Pembroke Early Yesterday Body in Night Clothes Found Beside Track. Mr. Oakley McNeill, aged about 76 years, was killed by an Atlantic Coast Line train at Pembroke about St o'clock yesterday morning. The engineer re ported that he struck a man and when search was made Mr. McNeill was found near the track with his neck broken. Deceased lived at Pembroke and when killed he had on his night clothes. It is supposed that he -left his room and went out on the railroad track. Some think Mr. McNeill went on the railroad track with suicidal intent. The funeral was conducted at the grave at 3:30 yesterday afternoon by Rev. Dr. R. C. Beaman, pastor of Chestnut Street Methodist church of Lumberton, and interment was made at Moss Neck. telling on McLendon. Hp Vino Mac ah his life and got him out of many a scrape during the days when Mac relied more on his lawyer than he did on the Lord. Mr. Hamer, who was a lawyer before clerk, said he had represented Mac for gambling, for fighting, for selling liquor and for shooting a man. Mac was a sight in those days. He gave his Christian parents no end of trouble. But when "c was converted ne got a genuine case of religion and has lived n rrn- sistent Christian life in the same town where he did his devilment. And he even neld a revival meetiner there which lasted 5 weeks and looked like it couldn't be stopped, the most suc cessful meeting ever held in that sec tion. McLendon began it over the protest of his friends, who told him it would ruin him to hold a meeting there. Mr. Hamer spoke soberly and his words carried conviction. He told of Mac's godless days and then of the great contrast in his life during the past ii years, and said that the people of his home town have the utmost con fidence in him. He thinks TiUmberton is fortunate in having Mr. McLendon hold a meeting here and is confident it will be a glorious success if the Chris tian people of the town will hold up his hands. The meeting will be held under the auspices of Chestnut Street Methodist church and no further services, ex cept prayermeeting this week and Sunday school regularly, will be held in this church until the meeting closes. as President of the United States and tnat secretary Lansing, Mr. White anu ioi. riouse and possibly also Gen.
