Ken Lovell Resigns Merchants Post Κιίι Lovi'll, for the past 14 •ΐι·.ι·.ϋ. executive secretary «»1 .lu· Tabor City Merchants As sociation. is resigning his posi tiou but will continue to fill the duties of the office the rest <1 this year, VV. Horace Cart piesKicnt of the associal io.i, .iiinounccd today. "It i.s with the very deepest regret that we accept this re signation of .Mr. Lovell. Every member of the board ol di rectors and myself are excep tionally sorry that we cannot keep Iiiiii on as executive sec retary. And, it is my opinion that he is thoroughly appreci ated within the association's membership," Carter said. "Mr. Lovell is not leaving the association for any reason other than the personal one that would make any individu al consider a change. He h:is been offered considerably more money by the Tabor City Broadcasting Company for his full time services there. The association cannot meet that figure without hardship. { I feel that he has mad* a wise decision in accepting the VVTAB position and wish for him the greatest of success in his new job," Carter stated. In resigning as executive secretary, Lovell said he was leaving the post with much re gret. "It is about the hardest decision 1 have ever had to make. 1 like the job. I like the merchants. I like· the freedom that you directors have given me on the job to do my very best to promote Tabor City. 1 have had to think long and hard to make up my mind to accept the other job," Lovell said. , "ftit in fairness UF my fam ily * think I have made the; right decision. I do not want the association to try to in- j crease my pay. I fhink the salary paid by the association is excellent and it is a fine job. I am fortunate to have been offered a better paying position and reluctant to ae-' ctpl it because of the fine rela- ; lions I have with the members of the merchants association," ( he said. ""I am also grateful to the· I Merchants lor giving me th« | opportunity to learn a new | field ol public relations. I am ! sure this experience will be uf ' great value to me over the i veais," Lovell said. Lovell went on to say th;il his wife, too. was reluctant to | see him leave a job that ho ' h.id enjoyed so much. While serving as executive ι secretary, Lovell, known to ] thousands as "The Sharecrop- j per." appeared before many audienes throughout many sections of this and other co unties as η Gospel musician. He successfully promoted a number of townwide events, including the recent Yu:n Festival, and served as sales supervisor on this years' to bacco market that set a price record and showed substantial increases in sales over I960. He has paced the merchants association to its largest mem bership in the history of the association with an established budget and systematic oper i tion . "Generally speaking, I be lieve that Mr. Lovell is the most liked and respected exe cutive secretary that Tabor City has ever had. I also feel that no one has or could have done a better job than he hns done since taking the job some 14 months ago. I know we will have difficulty replacing him but also feel he has made a wise decision," Carter said. "I think we are luckly that he has agreed to fill the duties of executive secretary for the balance of the year, without pay, and this will allow him to handle the Christmas promo tion," Carter said. Lovell plans to accept th? new WTAB post November 1.

He had been expected to rob it and all the money had been removed. Seems that Small and a couple of cronies dropped in it the church a couple of weeks previously and asked to see the sanctuary. Somehow they just didn't seeni like folks who would be interested in sanctu aries and the Rev. James Fost er, pastor, reported the inci dent to Paul Ray Jones, chief of police. Chief Jones suggested that the safe be emptied of money and the following Sunday nigM kept watch at the church. Nothing happened. The next Sunday night, while Chief Jones was at th·.· high school baccalaureate ser mon. Small broke open tne safe—and found nothing. Last week in General Ses sions court he pleaded guilty and was sentenced t.: 10 years imprisonment. He had been arrested in Charleston June 26 by SLED agents and Chief Jones.

The crowning of the queen will lake place at half time . The victory over Chadbourn last week gave Tabor an im pressive 5-1 record thus far, and kept local hopes high for a tie for the conference championship. The mainstays of the Devils were Leon Fonvielle and Rog er Small. Fonvielle scored all three touchdowns for T. C. and Small sparked the team wilh two pass interceptions. The Devils defeat of Chad bourn was marked by efficient mound work and capable pass ing on both sides. Chadbourn attempted nine passes and completed four. The Devils were a little less effective with three of II. Both teams were scoreless in the first qnarter. In the second quarter Tabor scored two touchdowns. The first TD resulted from a steady enin in yardage by the Devils. The scoring play came tin a double reverse. Halfback Bob by Soles took a handoof from quarterback Roger Small, and then gave to Fonvielle who plunged 12 yards to score. No onversion was made. In the same quarter. Tabor hallback Marshall Allen inter cepted a pass on the Panther's 45 and ran the ball 10 yarri< Tabor pushed to the eight. Then yB Small confused the opposition and delighted the crowd with one of the oldest plays in the book—the Statu'? of Liberty. Fonvielle went ov er for the score. Both teams scored in the third part of the game. Fon vielle, again the scorer for tin Devils, ran 88 yards for the TD and also the longest run • >f the game. Small passed to Bobby Soles for the extra point . After this play, Chadbourn. led by Charlie Heye, began a drive which Tabor was unable to stop. Heye scored the touch down from one yard out Tabor's Mickey Worley halt ed the attempted run for the extra point. Later when Tabor fumbled t>n the Panther 20. John Cox recovered it and carried to the six. Cox aRain carried the ball and scored six. Kenneth Merc er roller ted the conversion. This play made the score 19 13 in the Devil's favor at the end of the third quarter. Scoreless is the word for the last part of the game. How ever, Chadbourn came very dose to scoring by pushing to the Devil's 25 Tabor's sturdy line stymied this push and the game ended without any fur ther scoring threat.
