SCARBOROUGH SAYS HE HAS BEEN SLANDERED Word Sent Out from Pembroke by His Wife, He Says, Does Not Give Facts in Case Article Published in Charlotte Observer, He. Says, Does Him Great Injustice. Rev. M. L. Scarborough, who was given some undesirable publicity last July by reason of word sent out from Pembroke by his wife, was in Lum berton yesterday with his two child rent Larine and Melvin, about 7 and 5 years old, respectively, on his way from Dillion, S. C, to Jacksonville, Fla. A news item published in the Char lotte Observer and reproduced in The Robesonian of July 20, last, stated that the police of Charlotte were looking' for Rev. M- L. Scarborough, "self-styled evangelist," at the in stance of his wife, who had written from Pembroke that Scarborough had taken the children away from home and was going about the country with a sad song about the motherless children, thereby imposing on a sym pathetic public, and that he was not fit to preach or have the care of the children. All of which, Scarborough says, is a gross misrepresentation of the facts. He says he took the children away with him in the daytime after spending some four months in Pem broke doing evangelistic work, and that he left for good and sufficient reasons which reflect not a bit upon his .character, as he says he is pre pared to. prove. As. for being a "self styled" evangelist, Rev. Scarborough produced a certificate signed by Edw. M-' Graham, chairman, setting forth that on March 27, 1922, the Methodist quarterly- conference. Gibson charge, authorized ' him to preach. Rev. Scarborough said he had been preach ing for three years, also doing wel fare work." and he showed dipping from a newspaper published) in anoth er State mentioning a commendable bit of rescue work done by him. Scar borough says he has not been to Char lotte, that he has been in the North and West, and that he knows nothing about the police anywhere hunting him, and that he went to Sheriff Lewis here and asked if he wanted him and was told that he did not. He says the word sent out from Pem broke by his wife was slanderous, that he . has done nothing that would cause him to shun the police of any town, but that heh is supporting him self and- his two small children legit imately and at the same time is try ing to do good to his fellow-man. Miss Flora McMillan went Tuesday to Fayetteville. where she will spend a few days visiting relatives and friends. Mr. Haynes Ivsy of Marietta was among the visitors in town Tuesday- Parkton Letter Death aad Funeral of Mr. John Ever, r ett That Delif htfal Occasion at St. Paals Light Shining Again . Other Items. By C. D. Williamson Parkton, Oct, 24. We generally mention the latest issue on our minds, therefore we must express our opinion of the musical which was held at our sister town. St. Pauls, on last Sunday evening at the Methodist church. The music started at 3 o'eloclc The orches tra numbered thirty or more pieces a dozen or more of the First Baptist church, Fayetteville, a dozen or more from Parkton and St. Pauls, with three or four more from Lumberton to join us, who greatly assisted us. Frank Gough Jr rendered a. splendid violin solo. Our good friends Frank Gough Sr with trombone, and C B. Skipper, with flute. The above combination made a orchestra , worth while. The large auditorium of the splendid church was - taxed to , its uttermost, and the attention was perfect. J. C. Lentz was master of cere monies and he filled the position with ease and dignity- Dr. Murray conduct ed the devotional exercises. Dr. R. C. Beaman's address was a' treat. He spoke as no other man could for the occasion, in terms that would cheer the musicians and gladden the hearts of all his hearers. He spoke of the good fellowship it brought to a town and community, also giving his hearty indorsement of such a splendid or chestra, and with emphases said he would recommend that other towns of the county do like wise Red Springs, Maxton, Fairmont, Lumberton. Lum ber Bridge and others arrange to en joy just such a feast, for it was a feast. But it is not my purpose to srive the above convention a general write, up. Were I to do so it would occupy the remainder of my space and time. We wonder why some editors were not present and get something real rich for their columns. Our town was well represented there, as was also Fayetteville, with several carloads. Rev R. F. Munns filled his regular appointment at the M. E. church Sun day morning at 11 o'clock, preaching a most interesting and soul-stirring sermon to a fair-sized congregation. Rev. C.

John Everett, aged 45, died at his home two miles north of Parkton last night at 9 o'clock and was buried this afternoon at Green Springs church at 4 o'clock, Rev. C. R.

Everybody has missed the music of its striking and many who, from force of habit. glance up at the clock tower every time they pass that way have been disappointed, not only because they failed to learn the time, but because the expression on the old clock t face had ceased to change, and made one feel as though it were returning one's glance with the blank and frozen stare of a one-time friend.
