CAROLINA
. By: A. T. OUTLAW
Duplin's hlthway-hlstorical mar
kers are nart of a State wide pro
gram started several years afsd
They are of the regular design a
used by State authorities for mark
ing spots of historical importance
along highways of the State.
The first of the markers in Pu
plin is at the old Xirove Church in
Kenansville and ealls attention to
the fact that this church was found
ed by the Scotch-Irish who came- to
the section from northern Ireland
;i bout the year 1736. The Colonial
Records of North Carolina by Saun
ders, and other reliable records,
bear witness to the fact that it' is
Uu- oldest Presbyterian organisa
tion in the State.
The second marker is near the
home site of the Reverend Huh
McAden about one mile east of Kt -nansville
and near the site of the
original Grove church. McAden was
y the first Presbjterian missionary io
settle in North Carolina. Of Irish,
r Scotch-Irish parentage, he came
here from one of the northern
states, first as a missionary, and
then as a resident minister, having
beein duly ordained in Hanover
Presbytery (Virginia and Carolina)
at a meeting in old Rockflsh church
in what is now Nelson County, Vir
ginia. His work here covered a
period of about ten years and an
inestimable amount of good foUow
ed the teaching, and preaching of
hat saintly man He moved to
Caswell County where he died dar
ing the year 1781.
The third murker is near the site
of the battle of Rockflsh and near
the present town of WaUaee. This
was a battle of the Revolutionary
war between the British under
Major James H. Craig and the
American 'Under General James
Kenan. The Americans were great
ly out-numbered aniLihe British
succeeded in their purpose to In
vade this bmS at the i Biis
The fourth marker Is at a point
ft here the old Sarecta road enters
the State highway about -two miles
north of Kenansville and points out
the home site of Dr. William Hous
ton as the man who was appointed
by the Lords Commissioners of
His Majesty's Treasury as the
Stamp Master for North Carolina.
By reason of the unpopularity of
the British Stamp Act of 1765, he
teslgncd his office during a dem
onstration in Wilmington, and no
attempt was made to enforce the
law. It was soon repealed. Dietor
Houston waa a man of Munal
abUlty and highly respected in his
home county.
Inscriptions for three new marh-
rs in Duplin have recently b--en
approved and they are as follows:
-Thomas O. Larkin, ' near the
town of Wallace, where he lived
during the eighten4wentl4v-He
moved to California, then Mexican
territory, and played an important
part in winning California for the
United States. He was V. S. Consul
at Monterey and a member of the

lengthy descriptions of his obser
vations of Southern people.
General James Kenan, near Bal
tic station, between Warsaw n l

two miles north. He- was a Revolu

service in the vicinity of Fayette

No. 27
(Editorial Comment By J. R. Grady)
Congressman's Graham A. .Bar-
den's bill for Federal Aid To Kiu-
cation has created quite a distur
bance in Washington and through
out the nation, especially among
the Catholic and Protestant Church
es. Congressman Barden has labor
ed long and hard to produce a bill
that would provide millions in Fed
eral funds for public education. He
came up with a bill that would ad
here strictly to the lines as inter
preted by the constitution of the
United States and one that 1? fa'.r
to every stntc, race and creed.
The first shot out of the bag,
Cardinal Spellman of New York,
the would-be Roman Catholic dic
tator of this country, denounced the
bill as un-American and called Mr.
Barden a "Bigot". Other Catholic
church officials took it up and car
ried the fight onward. They became
so ruthless in thcii attacks that
ministers representing the many
Protestant Churches in America
took issue with the Catholics and
defended Barden, not only person
ally, but his bill as fair and Just
to all alike. The Congressman said
he had about made up his mind to
ignore the rantings of the Catholic
Hierarchy until his fellow congress
man Lesinsky, a Roman Catholic,
and chairman of the House Labor
Committee to which the Barden
bill was referred, sided against
Barden and apparently agreed with
his Roman Catholic superior. The
implications are that the Roman
Catholic Hierarchy take the posi
tion that ne bill affecting educa
tion Is fair unless it meets their
approval and they will never ap
prove one unless Congress ignores
the Constitution and agrees that
Federal Funds shall be expended
to promote education the Roman
CathoUc way. The Catholics today
will not recognize a protestant
marriage .in the United States
They do not approve of their mem
bers sending children to public
schools. The Roman CathoUc
Church is dictated from Rome.
Shell America be governed by free
and independent Americans or by
the Roman Catholic Hierarchy cre
ated and administered from Rome,
from a people who cannot even
speak the English language?
Congress Barden, in a special
letter to the Duplin Times has this
to say:
"I am utterly astounded at the
statements made by Congre.tsman
Lcsinski of Michigan, present Chair
man of the House Committee on La
bor and Education, especially ;o
when I have been waiting since last
Wednesday afternoon for him to
designaWg-date for executive
session heannVun the bill report
ed out of the sub-committee on
Education, of which I was appointed
chairman by Mr. Lesinski. Chair
man Leslnski, prior to the appoint
ment of a sub-committee, discussed
the matter with me, indicated his
dislike for any federal aid to cas
eation bill and later without consult
ing me at all named the members
on the sub-committee without my
approval, placed my name as chair
man, sent the bills to my office,
and instructed me to conduct hear
ings. He alsv. sent part of his Labor
and Education staff to assist in the
hearings. I draw H. R. 4643 with
the assistance of the House draft
ing attorneys'after conferring witii
Uie various agencies and depart
ments of the government interest
ed. The sub-committee conducted
lull hearings. We then went into
executive sessions and held a num
ber of executive sessions. The com
mittee, which was appointed by
Chairman Leslnski, without any
Knowledge on my part who they
were to be, reported the biU out
by a vote of ten to three.
The quotation accredited to Mr.
Lesinski that "Representative Gra
ham A. Barden; Democrat of N. C,
purposely Injected bigotry Into th
Federal aid to education bUl b.
cause he wanted to kill the whole'
measure" is a false statement and
If made by him to- be such at the
time he made it Mr. Leslnski well
knows that the fuU committee, of
which he is chairman, consisting
of 23 members will have to p ss
on every part and parcel of this
biU. '

Presa as well aa possibly other
carry the following quoUUona
