NDrth'tar'olina, Friday, February 10, 1933. ’ (3 •* FIVE CENT8 W.J. CAMERON OF VASS PASSES IN HIS 75TH YEAR Prominent Resident of Moore W'as Horn in Harnett County in January, 1859 HEALTH FAILED IN 1918 Death has clainietl another belov ed man of Moore. William John Cameron died at his home in Vass last Saturday, Febru ary 4th, leavinjj behind him a legacy ot “charity towaid all an<l malice toward none.” Mr. Cameron was one of ten chil dren, the son of Angus B. and Mar- tfaret Monroe Cameron. He was born in Harnett county on January 2(5th, 185&. His paternal grantlparents came to this country from Scotland and settled in Harnett among the pioneer Scotch of that section. His grandmother was a Bruce. Three? of the brothers, Angus, William and John moved over to the Vass country in the early days of the turpenHne indus try hereabouts and were active in the upbuilding of the community. Wil liam later engaged in the lumber bus iness, in which he was active until his health failed in 1018. He was also prominently identified with the de velopment of the Vass-Cameron sec tion as a dewberry market, a large grower himself. William John Cameron married Su san E, Bynum of Vass on January l&th, 1892, and his wife survives him. He leaves three children, Mrs. \V. T. Cox and Mrs. S. R. Smith of Vass and J. Bruce Cameron ol Southern Pines. Thirteen grandchilaren sur vive, and one sister, CIirisLian Cameron of Jonesboro. He was a member and for many years a trustee of the Vass Metho dist Church, where funeral services were conducted at 11 o,clock on Mon day mornii:g by the pastor, the Rev. W. C. Ball, assisted by the Rev. F. B. Nablett of Glndon, a /ormer pastor, and by the Rev. C. A. Lawrence, min ister of the V'ass Presbyterian Church. The pallbearers wereTiis nejihews, N. N. McLean, A. M. Cameron and W. H. Keith of Vass, E. B. Cameron of Kipling, A. A. Cameron of Jonesboro and J. D. McLcan of Cameron. The many beautiful floral tributes sent to the family were carried by the girls of the Community Young Peoples Choir. Interment was in the Johnson Grove Cemetei'y. No one ever heard William John Cameron say an ill word of his fel low man. Nor lives there a man to day to say an ill word of him. His acquaintances were his frien<ls, and they were legion. He was endeared of all, and his going is a community loss. A Community Loss | DR.

Thirty-four counties and 77 muni cipalities in North Carolina were in default an aggregate of !?7,.^09,:J00 on notes and bonded indebtedness on De cember 31st, according to data fur nished a special Senate committee by the Local Government Commission.

He also .‘ihowed by charts how interest charges and taxes for the farmer were going up hill while their incomes were go ing in the opposite direction, which accounts for the fact that four per cent of the farms of the countiy had been sold on foreclosure during the past year. Mr. Ward made a number of suggestions for getting the coun try out of the doldrums. The Kiwanis Club voted to have a j dance at the Pinehurst Country Club early next month.
