This history, written by A. T, Outlaw, has been accepted by - the State Historical Commission and they have placed " a marker in front of the church.

Hugh McAyden Presbyterian Missionary from Penn sylvania, who migrated from that state in 1736 through Virginia and North Carolina, nade his permanent Y home in this area near Rutledge cemetery in Kenans ville. The state Historical Commission has set up a marker on that site. The first organization of a Pres byterian Church was made hereifl Kenansville.

OURPOUCY I understand there are being made threats of a suit against the Duplin Times about it's crusade to clear up the mess in the ASC and the Farm Bureau. Well, all we have to say if anyone wants to sue let them go to it. Our opinion is that when threats like this come out it is an indication of guilt When a person is on the defensive he generally will attempt anything he thinks might vindicate himself. The Times wants to see things cleared up and shut up but we think we have the in ' formation to bear out our point and if anyone wants to go to court in a suit we are willing to match them and let the best man win. Our intentions are not to perse cute or prosecute anyone but to support and help to save our farm program, which is vital to every person . in Duplin County. "Straight from the shoulder right from the heart of Duplin.' J.R.G. OUR HOSPITAL Any existance has to have been given birth. As a mother gives birth to a child she has to attend to that child if it is going to live. So-4with the Duplin General Hospital," Unless the people of Duplin County give it support it cannot live. : 5 ; ; ,1 have been hearing and noticing in bther papers the number of Duplinites going to other hospitals. If we dd not have efficient doctors this would be understand- ' able but Dupiin hasjust as good doctors, and our hos pital has jusiaajjoodnurses as. we will find in this area. " The hospital is going fine;" Why not all our home folks support' our home hospital?,- After all we -are paying for it, 'If collections were 100; per cent, which we do not expect, the hospital would be in tip top shape. It is in v good shape, but it is hard to pay bills when you cannot collect, as we all know. But--if the patients going else where would cojhe here the average collections would t keep it in the "black" each monthl Think it over, folks. It's your Hospital and your money is invested.

Church intereist is picking up; industry is picking up and Aokins our way i Agriculture is on ttie increase. - r But listen: - a rough check of our county ' court , shows approximately 2000 cases tried here in the past ten months.4, When our county court was first, formed the average was one case a day, only one day a month.

You folks who have seen this "bid Church for the past 100 years (the building is 100 years old this year and the third build ing since organization of the church) won't recognize it. Thanks to the energy, of the women of the church the .renovation has been done, new pews installed and a new choir loft installed. On the left you will note the electric organ, donated by the Pickett family is covered. Blame that on Bob Grady. He forgot to uncover it for the picture. It is a Hammond Electric organ and Mrs. Louise Mitchell is our efficient organist. The other choir is for the young folks. The building has been painted inside, a new ceiling put up and a deep carpet covering the whole floor. The foundation has been rebuilt and the out sitie is now being painted. It is hoped that a spire may be put on the steeple, if someone will give us the money, and someone will. The Sunday School building is being painted on the inside, and the outside of old Grove Church is being painted. Plans are being made for landscaping the grounds. Last year the congregation renovated and painted the inside of the James Sprunt Manse. All told; up to date. It is esliiHated that tnttmBndmoneylO,0tarve been pet.- Incidentally, we carried pictures and a story on the job the Baptists have done in Kenansville and in a few weeks we will tell you what the Methodists are going to do. With all this money being spent wouldn't it be ideal if our small town had one church with everyone working as they are now doing in three churohesT We could have a budget that would go to town, but human nature just doesn't work r. - - ...... .

The discovery was made when Farm Bureau President Leroy Sim mons went to the office to find out why home demonstration . club members hadn't been paid for work in last year's membership drive. Simmons said Harvey D. Arnold of Rose Hill, suspended chairman of the Duplin ASC committee, was at the office and advised him to "keep it quiet." Simmons, who lives at Albertson, said he didn't take the advice be cause he thinks public matters should be kept "above board" and the records "are essential to us and they're valuable to us." The records also would be valu able to a political faction at this time with the hottest ASC elec tion in the history of Duplin com ing up next week. Without an ASC committee for some time now since an investiga tion of alleged irregularities in the office's operations began, Arnold and other suspended members of the committee reportedly are work ing 'to get reelected. Horace Godfrey of Raleigh, State ASC chairman, has said the com mittee would be removed if the probe substantiates the charges. Whether any findings would be Viow before the election on Oct. 18 remained to be seen. Th shocker to Simmons, he said tonight was that the records had been missing for some time and he still wouldn't know about it. if he hadn't "stumbled on it" Oct. 3. Simmon said be went to see Mrs. ttora Betty Bell who has the dual role of office manager for the ASC and secretary-treasurer of the Farm Bureau when he learned that the club women had not been paid th $10 they were due last December for each 50 members they signed up in the This I BY PAUL BAR WICK The ASC program is real big business.

To make improvement in sub station will necessitate a power in terruption Sunday morning in Sou thern Duplin County, according to J. C. Maultsby, local Manager for Carolina Power and Light Co. Power will be off between 4:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. Sunday morning October 16, 1955. The area to be affected includes Warsaw, Turkey, Magnolia, Kenansville, Chinquapin, Rose Hill; Charity, Teachey, Wal lace, Tin City, Watha, Willard, Pen derlea, Burgaw, and Harrells. Maultsby explained that early morning was chosen as the time a power interruption is least likely to cause .customers inconvenience. The interruption will permit line men to make repairs in the sub station. Crews will take advantage of the outage, Maultsby added, to perform maintenance work that would be dangerous with lines en ergized. Wilkerson Named To N. C. September $0. 1955 Mr. I. O. Wilkerson. Jr.. Admin istrator Duplin General Hospital j Kenansville, North Carolina Dear Mr. Wilkerson: It gives me pleasure to notify you that Mr. J. P. Richardson, President, North Carolina Hospital Association, has appointed you to be a member of the North Carolina Hospital Association Council on Administrative Practice, to fill out the unexpired term of Mr. W. K. Melton, who has resigned to enter the hospital field in another state. .Mr. Joseph B.

B. Forbus, Secretary-Treasurer North Caro ' Una Hospital Association PRICE TEN CENTS (7(?o Fa-m Bureau last year. Simmons said Mrs. Bell was re luctant to give him the records or a reason why the club members; hadn't been paid. When he pressed the matter, Mrs. Bell said the; solicitors hadn't been paid because she had no records, Simmons said. Simmons said that so far as he has learned no money is missing,. He said the money due the drive workers is in the bureau's treas ury, and they are now being Raid. The office, located in the Agri cultural Building here, was not broken into and at least $120 in. ASC money was untouched.. The missing records include along; with the list of people who had helped write Farm Bureau mean berships, a check book and finan cial statements of the past Only a few scattered sheets of the records, were left, Simmons said. Simmons said he had been asked! by political candidates for Farm Bureau lists but that he had "never given them to any political figure or anybody else who wanted themi tor a mailing list." A Farm Bureau committee com posed of Simmons, Eugene Carl ton of -Magnolia, Taft Herring of the Scott's Store section and Arth ur Whitfield of Kenansville turned the matter over to Sheriff Ralph Miller today. Simmons said today that the club women "should have been paid last December and I thought they had." The fact that they hadn't, he indicated, accounted for "only ar handful" of people at a kicK-off meeting recently for this year's membership campaign. In reference to Arnold's advice on the records, Simmons said he was "going to cut wood and let thee chips fall where they may." He said he couldnt . understand why he, as president of the bureau, wasn't informed about the loss of the record. Simmons also said that Mrs. Bell, who lives near Mount Olive, will be relieved of her duties with the. Farm Bureau. In the past three months, The Du plin Times has tried to bring to the People of Duplin County some of the practices which have been go ing on in the office. Being as secret as it is by law. The Times has been unable to 'gain access to some of the records al most all of them, in fact. How ever, we were able to learn a great deal about the ASC program when the new-grower tobacco allotment cancellations came up. It was from these new groweir hearings that a complete and tho rough investigation of the Duptbk ASC Office was ordered. This nag- been going on now for about six weeks, or a little longer. What the investigator's report will snow;, we will not be able to say. This: we have already been told, because we cannot gain access to the re port which is marked "Confiden tial." However, it is our firm opinion that sufficient evidence was found to warrant the suspension of the Local ASC Committee. If there bad: not been sufficient evidence, war do not believe that a Federal' In vestigation would have been or dered in the first place. Those ASC committeemen who have been suspended have tried to imply that they have been "perfect little angels." This we came arndt do not believe. We would like to bring to We attention of the people something which occurred in Onslow Coun ty on October 5, 1942. One of the suspended ASC officials was brought to trial on a joint charge of "possessing whiskey for the pur-. po of r-8Rle." Today Betty Ann Gurgamn. clerk in the Onslow County Clerk ' of Court's office, advised that on Oc tober 5, 1942, this particular person. along wn Olbbs Tobbs, was brought to trial. The person - in question was "nol pros" in thai case. However, Tobbs. on the Joint charge, received a 12-months sus pended sentence. We believe in good government.
