It has taken illnesS, brought on by the relentless hand of Time, to put an end to the non-stop work record begun here in the earliest 70’s by Marshall Alexan der, negro of the old school, who claims the distinction of having worked with honor for a textile plant of this eky for more than half a century. Marshall began hit* duties with the company, now the Locke Cotton Mills, in 1862, when eight years of age and'he gave up active employment last August, when ill health made it impossible for him to attend the regular duties, after an unin terrupted service of 61 years. This aged negro man probably holds the record for Cabarrus county for con tinuous service with one eoneern. The name of the company has changed a num ber of times, and it has been run under various managements, but Marshall prov ed good enough for each new manage ment and the changes in the adminis tration of the company brought about no change in the devotion and time he gave to Slis work. When four years of age. back in 1858. Marshall was "bound" to the family of Mr. John McDonald, who camp to Con cord from “the North" to build a cotton mill. He erected the McDonald Mill, the first in Concord, and in 1858 Marshall was given employment as errand and car rier boy in the textNe plant. He kept this job of "handy man” until 187(1. when at the age of sixteen he was sent tb the engine room. In that room Mar shall worked day in and day out until August of last year, when lie completed 53 years of service at one job. Marshall has an uncanny ability to re member dates."TTe’caTTTflt yoirwlrhonr j hesitation- the exact dates of the instal lation of certain machines in the mill. He knows when small changes wore made i to the mill building, when water pipes I were laid and other data that could not I be remembered by persons without unus ■ ual ability along this line. I Marshall worked without interruption | in the mill until 1877. when business be ! came so bad the mill stopped work. When it was sold to the Odells he moved along j with the- other fixtures, and when the j Odells sold out he went along with the engine room equipment to the new own ers. He was regularly on tip - job whgtv i the Erwit interests purchased, tfte plant several yen rs ago. 'and until sick dess stopped llis regularity he wns'dftifcy at his tsaks. j "There" have been many changes at the mill sine* I started working there," Mar shall staked, "but it seems that each change fins brought improvements. My j experience at the mill has taught me one j grant lesson—that the boss don't make much difference. I got along with each j new cro\Vd because L gave the job the best I had. Itgust seems that this trying by me wis seen .’byrihjj* bosses, and I be lieve it is seen every time.” Marshall is unable to Kotk- now, but he is far from being of ity. He« lias- -saved, kjs money and in vested it well , Dc"‘ ffwns pnqwrty—ad joining the homes of white -tpople—on North Spring street and has motley in the bank. Marshall for 34 years has been a mem ber pf Westminster I’resbyterian Church —he gave the date without book refer ence-—and not once during that time lias he had a quarrel or difficulty with the white people living next to him. When asked when he would be at home to talk about his life. Alexander replied: “I'm home every night after dark-—that is every night ’cept Sunday and Wednes day when I am at Church.” - " That about sums up tlie success of this good darky's life. HONOR ROLLS.

Arthur ABemethy, young twin of this city, has recovered the Ford roadster which was stolen from him in November by a band of highwaymen who were (dy ing their trade on one of the principal highways of the State—that roftd between Southern Pines and Biscoe. Mr. Aberhethy was notified by i. Clark Zimmerman, garage owner of Hal ifax, Penn.,, that this roadster was in that garage, and be went to Pennsylvan ia immediately and returned with his car Tuesday. The car was not badly damag ed, he reports. Mr. Abernethy stated that Mr. Zim merman told him a man dressed os a sailor and posing as a Salvation Army worker, drove the Ford into his garage on November 11, seven days after the car was taken from Mr. Abernethy. The car was left at the garage for repairs and when no one called for it after sev eral weeks Mr. Zinunermah wrote to the Secretary of State of North Carolina, asking for the owner of the number which was on the car. He was advised that Mr. Abernethy was the ovVner. Mr. Zimmefttikii Stated that the driv er of the car told him Ills name was Jim mie Alonzo Williams, and that lie was doing Salvation Army work. He told Mr. Abernethy that so far as he eould learn all money collectedly the matrwent into his otvn pockets. In the rear of the Ford. Mr. Aber nethy stated, he found two sailor hats, one the property of the mSn who drove the Ford ibto the gargge, gfld the other bearing the name “C. Strickler." Through this clue Mr. Abernethy hopes to locate the men who took the car from Idm. The hold-lip and robbery of Mr. Aber nethy occurred on the night of Novem ber 4th. near Southern Pines. While re turning from Raleigh Mr. Abernethy was aficosted by w.‘man in a sailor uniform who asked for a ride. The request was granted and after riding for severhl miles with his companion Mr. Abernethy was asked to stop and' pfit up tile thif tains of his ear gs it whs raining. ThS ■ was done and just as lie prepared to drive, »u two other men dressed as sailors step ped from a piece of woods and blocked the road. The man in the car then cov ered Mr. Abernethy with a gun. The Con cord man was bound and gagged and tied in a deserted tobacco barn, when he managed to cut the ropes on his feet with a piece of brick, later cutting the ropes on his wrists vriffr.tr piece of stove pipe. . ” ; No ttftee of tKe ear was found from .• that night until loss- Friday when Mr. ( Abernethy received the telegram from the Halifax garage owner.
