Mr. McPhaul suffered a stroke of para lysis about two years ago. Since tbat • time he bad only partially recovered and had never been able to get out and follow the active paths of life which he had followed for almost seventy years. During the last few weeks, he hud been suffering again, from weak spells which seemed to come from the weakness of his heart. On Tuesday he succumbed • while suffering from one of these weak spells. The news spread quick ly over the county and there was genuine sorrow in the heart of every person who knew him, which includ ed almost every soul in Hoke coun. ty. Mr. McPhaul was one of the old er citizens of the county who com posed the very heart of the section. He was one of the firrst of the coun ty commissioners and always de- • served aad never betrayed the great confidence which his fellow citizens delighted to repose in him. Whether it was in county affairs, his own loved work of farming, or in his hearty performance of the simple services of friend and neighbor, Mr. McPhaul was ever sincere, energetic and unselfish. He believed in man kind and loved to know and serve his fellow men. In his passing the county loses an honored citizen an:^ hundreds of people an honorable and sincere friend. Funeral services were conducted from the home on Wednesday after noon. Hundreds of friends were at the funeral- to pay their last silent tribute to a beloved character., Mr. McPhaul is survived by, two sons, J. E. and J. A., Jr., of Antioch, and six daughters, Mrs. N. B. Sin- ctoir, of Raeford, 'Mrs. J. E. Emerson of Spray, Misses Mary, Lillian, Kate and Christine, of Antioch. The aiftive pallbearers were: Dave Hodgin, Daniel McCormick, Albert McCormick, Henry McPhaul, Douglas McLeod, Jim McPhaul. “The woman behind the broom may not draw a large salary, but she certainly can raise a lot of dust.” HOSTS Tfl SENMSATBAWET Entertaining’ Features Mark Social Climax Of Year At Raeford High School. By CARL GOERCH The Hon. A, D. MacLean asnounc ed on the floor of the house lask week that the legislature wqs htiag corrupted by wine, women and aoos. The following day .he apologized by' saying that he was wrong so far' as the staging was concerned. The apol(^ has been accepted. As an apologisL Mr. MacLeaa is in a class by himself. His ides of a perfect apology is to call a man seven different kinds of a horse, thief and then apologize to him for having spoken harshly to Ms dog. Talking about apologies—^wimdar what kind of apologies some of the membere of the legislature are go ing to make to their constituents when they get back home again? That’s where the real art will coma in. Outside of calling one another liars, thieves, scoundrels and gen tlemen of no principle—which no one outside the legislature is deny' tag^the so-called statesmen haven’t been accomplishing very much dur ing the last week. It loot^s as though they might adjourn this wee;:. It's been looking like that the Ix^L .'ive weeks. ^ \Mr. McLean was ho for ihe* week-end.

The local club took charge of the program of the evening in spit? of the fact that the supper which the Sanford club gave them was too delicious for the local Ki- wanians to exhibit much temperance in eating. Mr. W. T. Covington was in charge of the program for the Raeford club. There was a stunt of a humorous nature and Dr. W. M. Fairley made a talk on the round about subject of “Circles.” After the meeting the two clubs adjourned to the miniature golf course where they demonstrated their stand on athle. tics until a late hour. The Raeford club is loud in its praise of the hospitality of their hosts. They were accompanied on this trip by the notorious Alf McFadyen of . Banjo fame and young Dewey Sessoms, a fifteen year old lad who is a marvel with his violin. They rendered a number of selections and everyone went over with a whoop. MAKES FORCED LANDING Last Thiirsday, during a thunder storm, the streets of Raeford re. celved a visitor from above, the like of which has never been ^ known to occur, so far as is known at this writing. This visitor was a young terrapin, turtle, or as Bock Chish olm would call it “Cooler”, and fell in front of McGill and Sessoms store. It was so small that it could sit comfortably on a half doRar if such a thing cdold have been found. The accoraejr of the story would be in doubt mceept for the fact that “Chlel” McGill witnessed the per|pr^ mance and Touches fpr Its heenra^.
