FUNERAL THI3 MORNING
' . I
Sudden death cn Christmas after
noon removed from Moore county
one of its most prominent and popu
lar citiz€Uis, Will J. Har’’ington,
County Register of Dreds for the past i
ten years and a leader in commun
ity affairs in and about Carthage fcr
much of his lifetime. He was ill less
than an hour, and his going came as a
distinct and severe shock to tiie en- j
tire section.
Mr. Harrington had suffered occa
sionally for some time from a heart
ailment, but the severity of his con
dition was not known until the at-:
tack which proved fatal. He was
about 60 years of age. Death came
at his home on the farm which he
loved so well, about eight miles out of
Carthage. Many members cf his fam
ily were with him.
Will Harrington had been the lead
ing vote-getter in county elections
for the past several years, always well
ahead of the Democratic tickct, which
testified to his popularity in all
parts of the county. He has been an
efficient Register of Deeds, his office
running smoothly throughout his long
tenure. He has been high in the coun
sels of his party in the county. Out
side of his duties in the Courthouse
he has spent most of his time on his
farm where he resided with his wife
and four children, W. J., Jr., June,
Mary Ruth and Lucille, who survive.
He also leaves three sisters, Mrs. A.
T. Lewis of Carthag-R, Mrs. Alice
Thomas and Mrs. Clyde Kennedy of
Raleigh, and three brothers, Roy Har
rington of Aberdeen, J. T. Harrington
of FayetteviJle and Sam Harrington
of Norfolk, Va.
Out of respect to his memory, the
offices in the Courthouse were closed
" all -day yesterday.
The funeral services will be held at
11 o’clock this morning at Mr. Har
rington's late home, with burial to
follow in Cross Hill Cemetery, The
Rev. E. C. Durham, pastor of the
Carthage Methodist Church, which
Mr. Harrington attended will officiate.

a Birthday Ball for President Frank
lin D. Roo.sevelt on Thursday, Jan
uary 30th, 1936?
In 5,000 cities and towns cf the
United States the Third Nation-Wide
Ball for the President will be held on
that dale. No plans for a ball here
havj been made. From Henry L. Do
herty, Chairman of the National
Committee, c^mes this letter:
“I am disturbed to learn that we
have thus far not been able to make
an appointment of a general chair
man to conduct the Birthday Ball in
your community. The citizens of your
area will want to have the oppor
tunity of taking part in this nation
wide effort to create funda with
which to ccmbat infantile paralysis
and to provide local treatment and
lehabilitation of sufferers from the
di.sease.”
PiiriM)so of Ball
The purpose oi the Birthday Ball
f r the President is to create, through
the direct help of the cifizens of our
country, funds with w'hich to help vic-
timc of infantile paralysis and .sup
port research efforts to wipe out the
disease itself.
Infantile paralysis again stalked
through the land this year, adding
th. usands of new victims to the sever-
i al hundred already crippled. The need
of continued effort in their belief is
greater than evrr, and once more
the call is made to our fellow-coun-
trymen Lo participate in this human
itarian work, which for the past two
years they have aided so generously
and with such outstanding credit to
our nation.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
has again consented to lend his birth
day, January 30th, 1936, fcr another
nation-wide series of Birthday Balls
for the benefit of these infantile par-;
alysis sufferers.
The President has approved the
suggestion that 70 percent of the
proceeds raised by each local Birth-
dav Ball be retained
