OBSERVER BUYS NEWS
Effective April 5, 1959, the
Charlotte Observer has bought
the afternoon competitor, the
Charlotte News. However, for
the present, the News will con
tinue with its own staff in the
News building, but with the pa
per printed from the Observer
press. The Knight Enterprises
now own the Miami Herald, the
Detroit Free Press, the Akron
Beacon-Journal, and both of the
Charlotte big papers.
The Observer owners an
nounce that the "rivalry" and
competition between the two pa
pers will continue despite, the
sole ownership. The price paid
by the Observer for the rival
News is said to be about two mil
lion dollars.
The Charlotte News was
founded in 1888 by the late
Wade H. Harris, and later run
for so many years by the Carey
Dowd family. Charles Robinson
from New England bought the
paper January 9, 1947.
INMANS BOUGHT HOUSE
Druggist and Mrs. Graham
Inman on April 2, 1959, bought
from Aubrey R. and Gail John
son their two-story house op
Ann street. The revenue stamp
is $8.80, indicating $8000. The lot
is 68x200, on west side of the
Billy and Ann Steadman Pop
house. Graham and George
Honeycutt came here March 25,
1948, when they bought the Fed
eral Pharmacy. Bob Johnson
and family came here in April
1955 he as an assistant officer
In the Farmers Bank. He has
resigned effective April 15th to
be cashier in one of the units
of the Commercial. State bank
at Laurinburg.
LATE FOR SS AND CHURCH
Folks have short memories, or
just don't listen. The Carolina
Power announced through the
papers and radio last week that
power would be off last Sunday
for 35 minutes, from 5:30 to
6:05, to make some adjustments.
That's right. Those with elec
tric clocks were mostly late for
Sunday School or Church
plumb forgot that the 35 min
utes stoppage put their time
pieces out of kilter.
Editor Weimar Jones
Writes Personally
This personal letter received
April 8th by your Post-Dispatch
editor from Weimar Jones, edi
tor of the Franklin Press,
refers to this paper's sketch of
Miss Kate Finley, for 37 years
principal of Rockingham high,
who died here March 27th:
Franklin, April 6,
Dear Mr. London:
I have never met you person
ally. I have never been in Rock
ingham, and, until she died, I
had never heard of Miss Kate
Finley. That is, there was no
thing whatever, of a local na
ture, to interest me in your art
icle about Miss Finley when she
died.
Yet I read every word of the
more than 2 columns with keen
interest. I choked up a bit at the
picture of the footbail boys
stopping by her car to speak to
her. As a reader, I felt, when I
finished, that I had known her.
As a reporter, I marveled at the
amount and detail of informa
tion you had and put on paper.
It's too bad we don't have
more reporting like that.
Now, I am looking forward
more than ever, to the oppor
tunity to meet the man who
wrote this piece.
Sincerely,
Weimar Jones

BISHOP PENICK DIED
FUNERAL IN RALEIGH . ?
Bishop. Edwin A. Penick died
in Memorial hospital at Chapel
Hill AprU 6, 1959, following a
cerebral hemorrhage suffered
about March 18th. The funeral
was held April 8th from the
Church of the Good Shepherd
in Raleigh with burial in Oak
wood cemetery. Bishop Penick
was born April 4, 1887, in Ken
tucky, and served the Episcopal
Church of St. Peter's in Char
lotte when made Bishop-Coadjutor
in 1922 and succeeded
Bishop Cheshire at his death in
1932.
Bishop Penick was beloved
with his people. His last visit to
Rockingham was on November
16, 1958, when he confirmed a
class of five boys driving from
Raleigh that morning, having
lunch in the Parish House with
his friends and driving back to
Raleigh in the afternoon.
Only two among the six bis
hops, who have served the Dio
cese of. North Carolina since it
was established in 1323, held
the Epsicopal post longer than
Bishop Penick. None gave it
more devoted service. He com
bined gentleness with great
strength, unalterable purpose
with deep piety. He will be miss
ed not only by his church but
the whole congregation of
Christians in North Carolina.-
