voia or HUCDOM CUMUMAM or uBEnn The I -Journal The Hoke County News The Hoke County Journal VMUOF ntiPOM M^J! J, —SX\MiWi VOLUME XLVII; NUMBER 9 rHLTSDAY, JULY 31, 1952 RAEFORD, N. C. TEN CENTS PE® COPY c^^dcU^ida By the Editor It turned out that my mother had already written Red Buck Bryant about Sherman stopping at the Bethel Church here in Hoke County instead of in South Carolina when I wrote about this last week. Her answer came from him this week, sayin flatly that he had been referring to a Bethel church near Clover, S. C. Re- •ceipt of the letter from Red Buck got ^ler all the more determined to get to the bottom of the matter. She found out that the page with the writing had been carried to Montreat to be preserved, but Mrs. Ryan McBryde had a >* copy of it which her late hus- ■ band had kept. Mrs. McBryde produced this copy and, sure enough, the wording of it is the .same as that Mr. Bryant said he was quoting from the Bible of the South Carolina Bethel church. Now I’m going to leave the matter right there with the comment that it does seem to be quite a coin cidence. 4-H CAMPERS from Hoke and Wilson Counties are shown below studying the Care and Use of Electrical Equipment at Camp Millstone in Richmond County.

AskJ he •v leasU that toe old him^;^ • (.Sh-erm^y*' ftia:'’ nave written the instructions to, book. General Sherman was no where around. Kilpatrick’s dvii- sion, composed largely of cav alry, came up the Wire road northward from Cheraw. Some Yankee soldier or camp, follower wag wrote in the session book, not the General; for a little dip into history will show that Sher man was too grim an old soldier for such foolishness. “Actually he must have not been such a bad guy, as such pro fessionals go. The story has it that he was running a Mississip pi boy’s school when the mossago Miss Hoke County Places In State Beauty Contest ^'' Hpke rovmty and the Raefovd Junior Chamber of Commerce when. Miss Mary Sue Upchurch, winner of the beauty pageant here, appeared as Miss Hoke County and came out foiu'th from the top in the Miss North Caro lina contest in a field of 38 of the states’s most beautiful girls i; Winston-Salem last week. Miss Barbara Ann Harris of Salisbury was winner of the title, “Miss North Carolina,” and will repre sent the state at the Miss America pageant at Atlantic City, N. Jer sey in September.

He broke into tears (imagine her dance routine Friday night in a West Pointer in tears!) closed his school and remained in se clusion for a week or more. ‘ Anyhow later, as a public man and military hero, (this depend.^ on the view-Ed) he realized his limitations. (Pity it may be tliat in 1952 another war horse can not realize that being successful in a harrow profession must make him efficient in the most intri cate and important of all modern callings — statecraft!) General Herman’s answer to his worship pers who wanted to make him President has become a cryptic classic: ‘If nominated I will not accept, and if elected I will not serve.* '7”'''**' “But back to Bethel—^why don’t the members of the church take the page from the session book and frame it and hang it con spicuously? It could do no harm now. As ‘death extinguis’neth envy’ and ‘time heals all wounds’, no gentleman of the cloth would dare preach an anti-slavery ser mon today taking his text from John or any other gospel; and while I’m no authority, I think some preachers still pray for things that Old Abe and men of that tj'pe mind honestly believe are imperishable and necessary if mortal man has a touch of the divine in his onerous hide—The lyorld ‘do move’—forward, pain fully, slowly.”—Arnold McMcKay. the talent show, and appeared in a green bathing suit Saturday afternoon. She then went into the finals along with fourteen other beauties Saturday night and emerged in fourth place. Girls were scored separately on each appearance and the highest total scorer was the winner. The Sandhill section of the state dominated toe final five in the contest as Miss Dorothy Anti Swisher, representing Aberdeen, received third place in the finals. Mary Sue was accompanied to Winston-Salem by her mother, Mrs. L. M. Upchurch, and by Charles Hostetler, Jaycee repre sentative. 0— Funeral Today For Leroy Cottingham Who Died Yesterday McColl Beats Rebels Here Monday, 3-2 The Raeford Rebels’ inability to get base hits cost them anotaer bail game Monday night when they were defeated by the Mc Coll .Palipettos at the^_ Armory Park 3-2.' Alf the runs were scored, in the first inning as the pitcher, for one hit, one walk, and two errors to score their throe runs. Raeford scored theirs in the bottom of the first on a couple of bases on balls and one hit. Tlia was all the scoring in the game 'as each team settled down. For the second time in two weeks the Rebels were in firsi place all by themselves but were unable to win and stay, there. Most of the blame could be laid to the cancellations due to inclement weather but a good portion could be charged to the fact that enough practices are not being held. The Rebels appear to have the makings of a pretty good ball team and were beginning to drav/ fair-sized crowds but their in effectiveness upon “the • field has started the crowds to dwindle in size. Games to be played this week for the locals are two with the league leading Red Springs Rob ins. One was played last night in Red Springs and one will be play ed Friday night out at the Arm ory Park.
