JOHN W. WOOD
J. W. Wood Dies
At Age 73 Years
For Thirty Yours Was

lic Affairs in Johns
ton ('oimty; Member
1H27 Legislature
.John William Wood died at
Jiis homo in Meadow township
on Wednesday, October .‘>1, af
1 :20 p. m. I Joath came al’lei
several months ol‘ failing
health as a result of heart
trouble and those who have
watched the prepress of his
decline were not taken b>
surprise.
Mr. Wood was in his seventy
third year. lie was widely known
through Johnston, Sampson and
Harnett counties, and thousands of
warm friends throughout these
counties-along with the immediate
members of his family, will mourn
his passing.
For the past thirty years Mr.
Wood has been identified in some
way or other with public affairs |
in Johr.ston county, serving during
this time as member of the board ;
of education, as a member of the
board of county commissioners, 1
and as representative in the lower |
house of the general assembly. Ho j
was a member of the last named !
body at the tiime of his death, hav- 1
mg been elected at the last general
election and served during the leg
islature of l'J‘27. He has been an |
influential democrat in his com
munity ever since he attained his
majority, and his principles of \
county government have been I
based on a system of rigid econo
my. So rigid indeed has he always |
been with public expenditures, that '
he became regarded as one of the !
safest directors of county affairs ,
connected with the public life of <
tlie county, and his friends ad- i
miringly referred to him as the I
“watch-dog of the county treas- !
In private life Mr. Wood has j
been as successful as he has been !
in public life. He started life with ;
but the barest necessities but by a |
rigid system of economy and by j
extraordinary energy and industry
he amassed a very good estate, and
at the time of his death few men '
in the county owned more land
than did he.
He was twice married—tirst to
Miss Sarah Hudson, of Meadow
township, and after her death to
Mrs. Lydia Hudson (formerly Miss
Lydia Barefoot), also of Meadow
township. He reared a large fam
ily of children, several of whom
arc now grown to manhood and
are good and dependable citizens
of Johnston county.
; The funeral was held yesterday
afternoon at the home in Meadow
[township, a very large crowd be
ing present. Elder Xu re Lee con
ducted the service. Interment was
| made in the family burying ground.
Active pall bearers were nephews
of the deceased as follows: Messrs.
Dalma Wood, Larry F. Wood, Tel

set (ini* Sin of t he I four
Last Sunday night at the P.ap
ti.-l church here the pastor, Rev.
S. i,. .Morgan, preached on the sub
ject. “The Christian and Politics.”
He frankly stated in the beginning
that his main interest at present
in the subject was that lie might
shu.v people of all shades of po
litical opinion how they might be
loyal to their convictions and at
the same time be tolerant and
sweet toward those of different
views. He quoted one of the leading
citizens of the community as say
ing that the bitterness that is be
ing excited by the present cam
paign will leave an incubus that
will not be outlived for fifty
years. He quoted line women of
the community as saying they are
being tortured and almost insulted
over the phone by other women
calling them up and holding them
s netimes for half an hour and by
i.-Cuniont or insinuation trying to
convert them to their candidate.
The preacher protested against
the intolerance that would coerce
one’s conscience, declaring that
huw one votes is a matter for
every one to decide with one’s God,
free from every semblance of co- :
i scion. “Every citizen is to go to
ilia ior order?, not 10 ms party
nor his neighbors. The humblest
citizen has a right to be free to
follow his convictions without any
bulldozing or insinuations or threat
of the party lash. Tolerance in the
present situation is the supreme
virtue, ami intolerance is the be
citing sin of the hour. And in
tolerance is by no means all on
one side. Those who are loud in de
manding tolerance t<> this ami that
in a candidate are often showing
the rankest intolerance toward his
neighbor's conscience. Nothing i
like it lias been seen since the
days when slavery was the bitter
issue.” lie urged his hearers not
to strain their relations as friends
and neighbors, pointing out that
great tasks will remain after the
election, calling for friendly co
operation of all the citizens of the
community. For every community
this ought to be regarded as the
supreme issue: how to keep sweet 1
and to work together in close co- 1
operation after the election is past.
That is much more important than ,
who shall be elected; and “trying
to outrage the conscience of an
oinor is a wrong1, tno prcacner
declared, “and that will not easily
he forgotten.”
The sermon was based on Paul’s
instruction given to the church in
Home as to the Christian’s duty
to his government. The civil gov
ernment is a divine institution,
Paul says, and the civil officers are
‘God’s ministers.’ The whole dis
cussion, given in Romans, the 13th
chapter, gives a religious atmos
phere to politics and the citizen’s
approach to the ballot bax, making
it appear the more shameful and
disgraceful for Christian men and
women to be approaching the olec

FIRE IN LOCAL GARAGE

from the smoke that the Buick ga

The automobile belonged to a man
connected with the shows at the

extinguished without turning on
