DEATH OF MR. MADDOX
Confined From Page I
' Rich daughter, Dorothy, of Dur
! ham, spent; a while with Mrs. S. V.
| Holt Sunday,
j Little Mis Ines Holf left Sunday to
j spend sometime in Raleigh with their |
grand parents. i
Mr. A. O. Harmon and sons, Clai- i
borne and Marion, of Raleigh, spent
Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. W. W. ‘
Stedman on Providence Farm.
The moving picture, “The Covered
| Wagon,” presented at Moncure school
Friday and Saturday evening was
well attended and enjoverj very much.
It was a complete description of a
journey of the old pioneers In a cov- ]
ered wagon across the United States,
some in search of gold and others,
homes; showing how they were at- (
tacked by Indians. An interesting
love story was interspersed, so ail
were anxious to know how it would ,
end.
Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Stedman and!
little daughter of Rt. 2, motored to
Winston-Salem Sunday, where Mrs.
Stedman will spend the week with her!
sister, who lives there. Mr. Stedman
returned Monday. His mother, Mrs.
Julia Stedman is keeping house for
him this week.
It was indeed a shock to Mr. Tom
Maddox and Mrs. W. C. Maddox and
also to the town and comunity when
a telegram was received from Mr.
C. D. Orrell, of Yemassee, S. C., early
last Wednesday, stating that Mr. W* 1
C. Maddox had suffered a stroke of
paralysis and could not possibly live.
Mr. Tom Maddox and his brother were
preparing to go to Yemassee when
another message was received, an
nouncing the death of Mr. Maddox.
Mr. and Mrs. Maddox have a nice
home here on Main, street, but it was
customary for them to spend the
winters in Yemassee, where Mr. Mad
dox, with the assistance of Mr. C.
D. Orrell, was manager and owner of
Orrell-Maddox Lumber Co at Yemas
see. Mrs. W. C. Maddox usually re
turned to Moncure to spend the sum
mer and had been here but a few •
weeks. Mr. Maddox had just spent a ■
week here with his wife and brother. I
His son and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Wal
ker Clegg, of Breckenridge, Texas,
spont the same week that he d.d ac I
home. A happy week was spent to- '
gether, although Mr. Maddox was not
so well at the time. After a week he
returned to Yemassee, and Mr. and
Mrs. Clegg returned to their home in
Texas. As it takes a little more than
four days for tnem to mane uie
journey home in a car, they had not ;
reached their destination when a tel- :
egram was sent to them that his facn- j
er was dead. j
Mr. W. C. Maddox was one of the!
firm of Maddox Brothers, and was a i
prominent here, and had many j
friends. His jbody was brought to •
Moucure Thursday, May 28th and on
Friday a large crowd of sorrowing
friends accompanied the remains to
Moore Union church, near Broadway,
where he was buried at his old home
place. Rev. B. E. Stanfield, of Jones
boro, preached his funeral at the
grave.
Masonic lodge buried him with hon
ors. It was a pretty burial service
with many beautiful floral designs.
Mr. Maddox was 53 years of age.
His death is indeed a sad one, and our
sympathy goes out to the bereaved
wife, brother, and all his loved ones.
Life is uncertain and we know not
the minutenor the hour when the
Son of Man cometh. |
A very interesting meeting was
held last Sunday evening at 8 o’-;
clock at the Methodist church by the
Epworth Leaguers. Miss Catherine
Thomas, president, was in the chair
and presided over the meeting. After
the roll call and minutes were read by
Miss Pauline Ray, secretary, the fol
lowing program was carried out by
the Missionary Department. Mrs. J.
E. Moore was the leader.
The subject of the program was:

\ This community was well represent
ed Friday night at Moncure, when the
famous picture, “The Covered Wag
: on” was shown in the school audito
rium. This picture is a very popular
one because of its historical connec
(tion with the opening of the West and
no one who witnesses the picture,
can fail to appreciate the hardships ]
and sufferings of the pioneers of our f t
great western territory. j *
, Those who attended the play, “Lit- i
f tie Women,” at PittSboro last Thurs-j
day evening were delighted and con- j i
sidered it one of the best, most inter- | c
esting plays that has ben staged re- j t
1 cerifcly. The characters seemed more 1
like fcrofe-ssibinals than (amateurs, 1 1
and those who missed the perform- €
ance missed a rare treat.
Mrs. L. E. Rollins and son, Jeffrey, e
of Miami, Florida, arrived here Sun
day to spend a while with relatives. c
The Gulf ball team played a match
game with the Brick Haven-Moncure *■
team, here Saturday. The result was
5 and 8 in favor of the local team.
Where was everybody Saturday? The
crowd attending the game was unusu
ally small.

COAL GLEN BRIEFS.^
The Chatham Motor Compnay is
given credit by The Raleigh Times
for the first contribution for the Coal
Glen relief fund. This good company
proposed to give two per cent of its
saies till June 15tii for the benefit
of the sufferers.
Thousands of people far and near
visited the mine Sunday. Every road
was thronged with passing autos. *
The Pittsboro Post of the American
Legion, got busy Saturday morning
and raised a >xu/ sum ior cue
work at the mine.
General Bowley got on the scene
Friday but when praised ior tne
prompt assistance unu tuocuvo
of the Fort Bragg groups, he said lie
deserved no praise nor any of his
men; that whatever had been accom
plished by the Fort Bragg groups was
due to the effective organization and
equipment of the army, which was the
people’s own agency.
Commissioner of Labor Frank Grist
was on the grounds and much con
cerned that no exaggerated reports go
out. He denied that any of the cltad
had to be taken up piece-meal.
Three mules were among the vic
ens was home over Sunday. Jim is at |
been in the mine for four years. As |
the track was so covered with debris
that the cars could not run within j
several hundred feet of the bodies
when the odor from their decaying j
bodieh became almost unendurable, !
the miners walled them up and thus
gave them permanent burial and rid
the mine of the foul odors.
A peculiarly sad fatality was that
of a mere boy of probably less than
20 years of age who had been at the
mine a few weeks but had been slow
to make acquaintances. His name was
Wood, but no one seemed to know ’
his given name, or where he came
from. Also it is reported that from
the Sanford funeral parlor Jus body
was sent to Cumnock and buried in 1
the negro grave yard but the error
being detected immediate removal was 1
made and he found his final
resting place in the little Farmville
church yard. . J
We were much pleased to meet Rev.
T. E. White, of Graham, last Thurs
day. Mr. White is a native of Chat
ham, a brother of Miss Cle Ora Wnite,
who died a short while
