J. writer has been personally acquaint ed with him, and has never known him to shirk any duty that the office of Ruling Elder would place upon him. He was never too busy to visit the sick. He gave freely of his time and money to the church. After the war was over Alexander, John and Neil IS., engaged in the turpentine business, and for several years did most of their own work, and investing most of what they were able to earn in timbered lands. About 1890 John and Neill S., realizing the necessity for better transportation facilities for their own and their neighbors’ products conceiv ed the idea of and built the Aberdeen and Rockfish Railroad. Circumstances which they in their boyhood could not overcome caused their education to be limited. By honest toil and loyal cooperation with each other they made a great suc cess. John Blue represented his county one term in the Senate of North Car olina, but refused a second nomina tion, choosing rather to attend to busi ness matters, and let others look after the affairs of state. All of the children were extremely faithful to Sandy Grove Church, and the cause of Christ. Memorial Eddie Watt Cameron, son of S. J. and Margarette Cameron was born He attended Rogers, Mrs. H. J.

He was mar ried May 6th, 1906, to Miss Sallie Powell of Crestview, Fla. In early life he professed his faith in Christ On June 17, Peter Monroe, Archie McLeod, and John L. Campbell. We made every possible effort to get them but are with distinction to the end of his life. He was a successful business man, and was always ready to give of his very sorry to say that we were unable i r»io lii^ \ "IK I fiOrt to do so. It would have added ma terially to this work if we could have eecured them. Two Lives of Equal Duration Two of the sons of this Old Church: his church. On August 15, 1925, after an ilness of about three weeks in the Highsmith Hospital in Fayette ville, Us spirit took its flight to the God who gave it. On the following Daniel McDuffie, and Daniel McCas-u j ^ kill, were born the same day, joined ! ® ® ™ ® Sandy Grove Church the same day, i enlisted in the Confederate Army thelff®®* °^ed same day, and both of them were last resting place, and cov- wounded the same day and died the;f®^ the mound with flowers, speaks same day 1 words, the esteem m _ 1 which he was held by all who knew S« J. C/flincroii &nu Fsmily { s. J. Cameron was born February ! ^ 14, 1848. He is the son of Samuel and Catherine Blue Cameron of Har nett County. He is a descendant of 1924-1925 In 1924 the Rev. A. D. Carswell, the Early Scotch settlers of the Cape Sandy Grove as stated supply, Fear settlement. His great grand- preaching every fifth Sunday, and Army at Culloden, and was forced to take the oath of allegiance to the British Crown. At the beginning of the Revolutionary War, like most of the Scotch he sympathized with the cause of his adopted country, and rather than to betry the solemn oath which he had taken he fled to Cuba where he remained until the end of the war. After the war was over he returned to Moore County, and lived there until the end of his life. On December the 16,1869 S. J. Cam eron was married to Miss Margaret McKeithan, to this union was bom five sons and three daughters. He was ordained Deacon in Sandy Grove Church, August 11, 1901, which of fice he held until June 17, 1917 when he was ordainfed Ruling Elder. The Blue Family Neill McK. Blue, was a charter member of Sandy Grove Church, and was one of its most loyal supporters, work of the church, and the uplift of his fellowman. He was the father of six sons, and father fought with the Vanquished special occasions. The services have been well attended considering the long distance which the people hav eto come. The church has been almost abandoned ever since the United States Government took po- session of all the land for miles around the church. The members of the church are exceedingly loyal, and are never so happy as when they are worshipping under its roof. They have been used to good preaching all their lives and are absolutely intolerant toward anything except a Gospel message. At present they are hold ing services under great difficulty, be cause they live many miles away, and the roads are in very bad con dition. But these faithful Scotch are unwilling to abandon the place of their spiritual birth. They were noculated at birth with the spirit of perseverance, and nothing can thwart their plans but the power of God. They put duty far beyond expediency, and hold an obligation as sacred as life itself. These faithful souls will never forsake the assembling of them- Vass and Community Mrs. Paul Reid, of Pilot Mountain, is visiting her aunt, Mrs. J. W. Beasley.

DON’T JUST BELONG If you think your church the best Tell ’em so! * If you’d have it lead the rest, Help it growl! When there’s anything to do, Let them always count on you, You’ll feel good when it is through^ Don’t you know If you’re used to giving knocks. Change your style; Throw bouquets instead of rocks For awhile. Let the other fellow roast. Shun him as you would a ghost; Meet his banter with a boast And a smile. When a stranger from afar Tell him who and what you nre-- Make it strong. Never flatter, never bluff. Tell the truth for that's enough. Be a booster, that’s the stuff. Don’t just belong. Edwin S. Smith Raeford, N. C. Here is a little poem we ran across in the Christian Observer, and it struck us as such a good one that we are passing it along to the readers of The Pilot.

Be Neighborly! IF you are one of those who h a ve written forXhe Charles William Stores’ Catalog of big bargains and have not received it we are sorry. The reason is, an amazing demand for this book has exhausted our sup ply. We earnestly ask you to borrow a catalog from one of our customers — there are many in your community— and we are sure they will oblige you . • • and us. Of our old customers we ask please help us and your less fortunate neigh bors by loaning them your catalog for aw^e. We could not foresee how great the demand would be for this catalog and as our Special Midsummer Sale Catalog will be published so soon— May 15 th, it seems hardly practicable to print a fresh supply of the big book before the special sale catalog is out. We have all the big bargains that have made our catalog so popular and created the huge demand, but unfortunately we have no more books. However, if our old custom> ers and new ones will cooperate with us they wiU render a real service Co us and to their neighbors. We thank you. The Charles William Stores New York City Inc. BANKRUPTCY SALE four daughters, viz.: Lauchlin, John, together in this od Sanctuary, Neill S., Daniel, Malcolm, James,! Sarah, Catherine, Eliza, and Lydia. The two oldest boys answered the call of their country, and joined the Confederate Army. When the war was over they returned home to find, the once prosperous neighborhood had now been well nigh made desolate. In the year of 1866 John and Neill S., united with Sandy Grove Church. And in 1873 John was elected Deacon which office he filled with ability until he moved his membership to Bethes- da, and was later ordained as Ruling Elder in that church. In 1873 Neill S., was ordained as an Elder in Sandy Grove Church which office he holds at the present time. During all these 52 years the in His wise providence sees fit to summons them to jion the Heavenly Choir. On the third Sunday in September, 1924, we had a homecoming at Sandy Grove.

We are looking forward with great pleasure to the home-coming this year which will be held the third Sunday in September.
