j Golden Parker Is
Released On Bond
FIs Released When His Father
Goes On Rond; Another
Hearing In Royall Murder
p Trial Scheduled Monday
Night
-♦
Golden Parker at another hear
ing in the J. M. Royal murder case
held Thursday afternoon was al
lowed the privilege of giving a
bond of $3,500 for his appearance
in the December term of court, and
yesterday, his father, Dr. G. E.
Parker, of Benson, went on his
bond, and the young* man was re
leased. Claude Barber held in the
same case, is still in confinement.
On account of the coroner being
called to (Weals township to
conduct an inquest over the body
of Finis Williamson, the hearing
that was previously set was post
poned. There was little new evi
dence introduced Thursday after
noon. C. T. Page stated that he
lent Golden Parker his pistol on
the night of the killing of Royal,
and that on the next night Parker
returned it and told him that he
was afraid that he had done wrong,
as he had lent it to Barber on the
night of the murder.
So far Parker and Barber have
declined to go on the witness
stand, which privilege their con
stitutional rights give them.
It is our information that the
next coroner’s hearing in the Roy
al case probably the last one, will
be held in the courthouse next
Monday night, Nov. 21.
A True Nobleman.
The instant I enter on my own
land, hte bright idea of property,
the exclusive right, the independ
ence, exalt my mind. Precious so;l,
I say to myself, by what singu
lar custom of law is it htat thou
wast made to constitute the riches
of the freeholder? What should
ve American farmers be without
possession of that soil? It
feeds, it clothes us, from it we
draw even a great exuberancy, our
best meat, our richest drink, the
\ery honey of our bees comes from
this privileged spot. No wonder
we should thus cherish its posses
sion. . . . This formerly crude soil
has been converted by my father
into a pleasant farm—and in re
turn it has established all our
rights; on it is founded our rank,
our freedom, our power as citi
zens, our importance as inhabi
tants of such a district. These
images I must confess I always
behold with pleasure. I know no
^ther landlord than the Lord of
all land, to whom I owe the most
sincere gratitude.—Crevecoeur, in

Visits Battle
Of Bentonville
-«>
'alifornian Interested In His
torical $pot Because His
Brother Fought There On
Union Side.
There are still folks in Smith
field and Johnston county, even
after the memorable celebration a
few weeks ago, who do not know
about the Battle of Bentonville,
one of the hottest fought battles
of the War Between the Staes, ac
cording to M. C. Healion, of San
Diego, California, who was in this
city Friday endeavoring to find out
how to get to the famous battle
ground.
Mr. Healion arrived here on a
bus from Raleigh Friday morning
and inquired at once how to get to
Bentonville. The person whom he
questioned had never heard of the
place, and a second attempt to
learn its whereabouts was fruit
less. However, he soon accosted
some of the county officials whose
knowledge of county history saved
the situation and soon Mr. Healion
had made the acquaintance of W.
F. Grimes, the county tax collec
tor, and was en route with him to
the historic spot.
i he Californian's interest in the
Battle of Bcntonville grew out of
the fact that he had a brother who
fought in the battle on the Union
side. His brother was Joseph Heal
ion, a member of Company “D”
34th Illinois Y°h,nteers, of which
Captain Charles Eckles was in
command. He went through the
war without serious injury but
three years later was drowned in.
the Mississippi River as he res
cued two other persons.
Mr. Healion said while only a
boy during the war, his memories
of the conflict and of his brother’s
home-coming at the close of the
war were vivid. He told this story
of how his estimate of the South
was changed:
“When the war was over and
the Union men were returning to
their homes, wearing their soldier
suits and full of the glory of vic
tory, Joseph Healion went home
clad in a civilian suit. The small
brother—the one who told to story
to Mi*. Grimes—was curious as to
why his brother, too, did not
glory in what he considered a well
deserved victory. The returned
soldier took his little brother on
his lap and talked to him. ‘My boy,

entitled: “The Modern Tale of Two •
Cities.” Mr. Plattenburg before he ;
gave all his time to the lecture

he has and the suggestions he 1
makes are the result of years of
practical experience in solving the '

about. The Kentucky Retail Mer- 1

printing of 300,000 copies of Mr.
Plattenburg’s community lecture !
and broadcasted them over state. :

Poor Duo, and a comedy-drama en-% 1
titled “The Patsy.” Rev. D. II. 1
Tuttle, who was in the city yes- *
terday and heard of the coming <
Chautauqua, stated that he would i
not care to see the S. S. Henry & i
Company again unless he wore 1
braces to keep from splitting his 1
sides. He saw it recently in Fre- 1
mont and he laughed so much that 1
ho felt sure his blood pressure was 1
increased several degrees. ]

at his home in Wilson. The fur,- <
oral will be held tomoi'row (Wed- 1

for some time, and his passing is I
not unexpected.

Local Methodists
Tune In On Bishop;
—*—
Local Firm Installs Radio In ]
Church and Congregation 1
Joins Worshipers in Raleigh i
A service that was decidedly i
inique was held in the Methodist 1
hurch here Sunday morning at 3
ileven o’clock, when around a ■
lundred twenty-five assembled to i
tear Bishop Edwin D. Mouzon on «
he radio, which had been install- 1
id for the purpose by the Young 1
dotor company, agents for the 1
>osley radio. 1
Bishop Mouzon was the presid- 1
ng officer of the North Carolina (
or.ference of the M. E. Church, (
South, held in Raleigh last week,
fe is a very forceful speaker and ^
vhen it became known that his (
ermon Sundaay morning would be (
iroadcasted, T. C. Young of the ^
foung Motor company, volunteer- *
*d to install a radio in the local *
hurch for the benefit of any who *
night wish to hear him, and the J
dedlin Printing company issued *
landbills announcing the service,*
t having been previously announc- 1
d that in the absepce of the pas- ^
or, there would be no service. £
The congregation here was in its c
dace by eleven o’clock, but when ^
he radio tuned in on Raleigh, the *
oluntary and first hymn had been £
ung. The local congregation at c.
nee entered into the worship serv- 1
ce, each one bowing their heads !fj
s the minister in Raleigh led in
rayer./ The responsive reading €
or the morning was not audibly [
ollowed by the worshipers here, 1
hough many found the. place in f
he hymn book. But when the J
Teacher announced that the morn
ng offering would -be taken, the C
ishers marched down the aisles €
nd passed the collection plates, C
t'hile the Edenton Street church 2
hoir sang the offertory. -
The Bishop could be heard very C
iistinctly, and while at times static 2
nterferred somewhat, those pres- *
nt heard the^ most of the sermon
rtiich might be entitled: “Jesus in
Jethsemane.” “Human sympathy j
osts less than anything and is
vorth more than anything,” declar- r
d Bishop Mouzon, “but not every ,
ne can give it—only those who let l
ove into their lives When Jesus 4
•pened his heart to take in love, ,
le opened it to the utmost sor
ow. To gain relief for His break- *
ng heart, He went into the Gar- (
len.”
The sermon over, the local con- *
negation was dismissed with the •
iinging of the Doxology. *
An effort was made to hear the i
(veiling service, but it was diffi- ,
■ult to hear until the strong voice
>f the Bishop read out the ap- J
^ointments. This closed the con
ference session. '

American war, and of the World
Var. A typical fall day, the out
»f-door program which included a
>arade, speaking ait the exposi
ion grounds, a barbecue dinner,
nd a basketball game, could not
lave been improved upon.
L. L. Levinson was general
:hairman of the Armistice Day
elebration, while Dr. W. T. Mar
in had the program in charge,
"he day's program started with a
larade from the business section
f town to the exposition grounds,
he Erwin brass band and the
’layton orchestra leading. The line
f ex-soldiers and” the student body
rom Benson school were more
han a half mile long. At the ex

Wilson. He complimented the old
oldiers of the Confederacy, and
specially their reconstruction
le pointed the task of the re
amed soldier whp came back to
country, not devastated, but a
ountry with changing ideas and
ieals.
“We entered the war not mere
/ to protect our property, not
ven merely to protect the lives
f our citizens at sea. Our stake
1 the war,” said the attorney
eneral, “was something greater
han gain; something higher and
olier than safety. We foug*ht in
efense of free government, of
ivilization itself, for the common
ecencies which had obtained
mong civilized peoples.”
One of the fine features of the
ay was the barbecue dinner with
11 the accessories, and cake and
ie besides, which was served to
11 the ex-soldiers present.

Splendid Tribute
To Kenly Citizen
-♦—
Seldom has there been more uni
versal bereavement on the part of
the people of Kenly and Johnston
county than is felt here at this
itime in the death of Walter J.
Hooks, 52, prominent lawyer and
financier, which occurred at the
Carolina General Hospital in Wil
son Wednesday afternoon at 4
o’clock (following an illness of
several days.
Mr. Hooks, a man whom the en
tire community regarded as a cit
: izen of sterling (character and
qualities, for some time had
been in failing health due to gen
eral complications. He suffered a
slight stroke of paralysis Thursday
night at which time he was forced
to resort to hospital treatment
from which he never revived and
death took its toll a week after
he arrived there.
All that efficient hospital at
taches were able to do in his be
half were of no avail; all that rel
jatives and friends could offer for
| his1 comfort and welfare proved
useless as his fight for life had
.ebbed to the extent that he could
retain it no longer, and he passed
from this life into the other as all
must eventually do, swith a clear
conscience the result of his long
interest in his community and the
noble enterprises of which he was
a consistent and earnest advoeat
or.
Probably no other individual has
don© for his community what
Lawyer Hooks did for Kenly and
Johnston county. Surely a more in
fluential or popular person never
resided in this section of our great
commonwealth, and no death or
deaths have, to the knowledge of
our citizenry, been mourned to the
extent of the noble character who
this week passed on to the great
beyond. Always active in commun
ity assets and playing a promi
nent part in the support of Chris
| tian institutions, none of which
he ever became a member. Mr.
Hooks endeared himself deeply in
the hearts of his almost innumer
able acquaintances. ,
The prominent man graduated |
from Wake Forest College in the
class of 1908 with, exceptionally
high honors. Prior to his college
career, Mr. Hooks was employed
by the Atlantic Coast Line Rail
road as telegraph operator and
according to all officials display
ed unusual efficiency in his capac
ity. Several years ago Mr. Hooks
was happily united in the bonds
of matrimony to Miss Katherine
McNeil of South Carolina, To this
union were born six children, all
of whom survive, namely: Walter
J., Misses Margaret, Doris, Beat
rice, Clara and Vivian.
The public-spirited citizen was
a prominent member of the John
ston county bajr association and
executed much influence in its be
half. He was reg-arded as an ex
ceptional lawyer and was held v\
high esteem by his fellow members
in this association who mourn his
loss at this time in no uncertain
terms.
runerai services were conducted
from the home in Kenly Thursday
afternoon at 3:30 and interment
was made in the city cemetery
shortly afterwards with Rev. Mc
Intyre of the Presbyterian church.
As a further token of the high
esteem in which he was held by
his acquaintances, merchants, pro
fessional and business men of the
town closed their respective places
of business from three until four
o’clock Thursday afternoon to at
tend the ftfneral services of their
beloved friend and neighbor.
Many friends from various parts
of the state were in attendance at
the funeral services which were
the largest witnessed here in some
time. Floral offerings which were
many and beautiful completely
;covered the grav<e wfhich mrfrks
the final resting place of one who
has done his best for the building
of community and Christian influ
ence within the borders of this
section of the commonwealth.
Members of the Johnston Coun
ty Bar Association attended in a
body and served as pallbearers.—
