First Wesleyan Church Will Be Dedicated May 27 Public Is Invited To Attend First Services In This New Church In City. All-Day Service Rev. W. C. Cockman To Be In Charge Of Services; Short History Of Church. I -- Sunday, May 27th will be a big day for the members and friends of the First Wesleyan Methodist church of Asheboro, located on Stowe street.

In the afternoon at 2:30 there will be a get-together service to whiah all the pastors in this community are invited to join with' friends and members. There will be several speakers as well as re presentatives from all Wesleyan churches present for the afternoon service. The services for the day will close with a missionary meet ing at 8:00 o’clock in the evening. The following history of the new church was handed in by Mrs. Cock man: Rev. W. C. Cockman and Mr. Den nis Vuncannon became interested in the South section of Asheboro which with a growing population, they felt the need to go in that community and hold cottage prayer meetings, and the first meeting was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Scott, about the 15th of May 1932, with Rev. Cockman leader. Then on the first of August a tent meeting was held on the lot just opposite the new church building now, with Rev. Lomas Willie, of the missionary alliance as the main speaker. In this meeting there were around 30 con verts, and they were kept together with prayer meetings until the class asked to be organized into a church, and the president of the Wesleyan Methodist church, Rev. W. C. Lovin sent Rev. E. D. Packer, then pastor of Neighbors Grove church, and Rev. M. C. Conner, pastor of the First Wesleyan church, High Point, N. C., to organize the class into the First W. M. church, of Asheboro, N. C., with six.members and Rev. W. €. Cknkman wa» appointed pas* tor. Beginning the 23rd of April, 1933, Rev. J. E. Shaw, Rev. E. D. Packer and Rev. G. B. Hilson, of Concord, held a tent meeting and this streng thened the church and beginning the first of August plans were laid to build a church building as the ser vices had been held in the home of Rev. Cockman. At the retirement of Rev. Packer from the Neighbors Grove church, he being in poor health, moved to his home in West Asheboro. He and his wife joined this ' little church and he, Rev. Cockman and Mr. Ebcr Cox were made building committee. The lot was purchased and plans were laid far the building, but Rev. Packer joined the church triumph on December 26th and this with other hindering causes has delayed the building—but through the heroic effort of the committee and members of the church and friends the church will be completed in the near future. We extend to all a hearty wel come Sunday, May 27th.

Zollicoffer, Vance county’s candidate for the seat in the United States Congress vacated by the late Edward W. Pou. The motorcade has traveled, ac companied by a brass band, and Mr. Zollicoffer. The usual procedure for the motorcade at each stop has been for the band to play, and afterwards for Mr. Zollicoffer to make a short speech. In his speeches, the Vance county man has refrained from attacking any of his oponents, the object of the trip being to get acquainted with the people in all parts of the dis trict. The motorcade type of campaign has been imitated by only one can didate in the fourth district race, Harold D. Cooley, of Nashville. One was contemplated by George Ross Pou, of Smithfield, but his forces abandoned the plan. The other two candidates, Palmer Bailey of Raleigh and W. F. Evans, of Raleigh, are conducting one man campaigns. De spite hot fights, no motorcades have toured other congressional districts, nor has this type of ’ campaign pre viously been used in this state. The first Zollieoffer motorcade tour Vance, Nash, Franklin and Wake counties. The second went through the district concentrating in Johnston county. The third visited Chatham and Randolph. It is not yet certain whether other parties will go out. The principal planlfs in the Vance county candidates platform are sup port of President Roosevelt’s New Deal, and opposition to machine po litics, as he is not a$gned with any state faction.
