other musical groups have been
planned.
Parents and other citizens are

Stock Car
Race Reset
Steady rain and a forecast for
more of the same throughout the
day caused postponement of the
Carolina 500 mile Winston Cup
Grand National stock car race
Sunday at North Carolina Motor
Speedway.
The race was reset for next
Sunday at 12 noon. The racing
teams will return to the one-mile
superspeedway next Saturday and
the track will be open for practice
from noon until 5 p.m. Fans will be
admitted free of charge for the
practice.
Speedway President L.G.
DeWitt and Lin Kuchier of sanc
tioning body NASCAR, announced
the postponement at 9 a.m. Sun
day. "We checked with all avail
able meteorologists and it was
unanimous forecasts for continued
rain," said DeWitt.
"We thought it would be better
for everybody to call it early due to
the circumstances." said DeWitt.
"People who were already here
could get home earlier, and people
on the way could turn around. It is
a situation that none of us like to
think about, but there's nothing
that any of us can do anything
about."
David Pearson, who crashed the
Wood Brothers Purolator Mercury
on the second lap of qualifying last
Thursday contended "this rain
might have been a blessing for the
drivers. The track had been resur
faced and it was still real slick. It
will still be slick, but all of us will
get another day of practice."
A crowd of more than 10.000
attended last Sunday's preliminary
events
FUTURE HOME A sign has been posted on N.C. 211 lo mark the future
home of the Antioch Volunteer Fire Department now organizing. A petition
among the residents has already been circulated and the county is expected
to set a date for the tax le\y election sometime this spring. The organizers
hope to obtain Farmers Home Administration financing for the
department.
I'KASHY ?? An overflowing trash container like this one spotted along
Highway 211 is an unattractive sight. At least the users were diligent
enough to deposit the garbage within the bin instead of tossing it to the
ground.
St. Andrews Freshman
Studies McNeill Home
The most immediate outstanding
feature of the John Charles McNeill
home in Wagram is the identical
double front doors. According to
the story told through the years,
two sisters living in the home had a
Fight and resolved their argument
by dividing the home into identical
segments - each with its own front
door.
Freshman Mark Anderson of St.
Andrews Presbyterian College
spent winter term involved in a
study of the McNeill home and the
poet whose name is associated with
the house.
As part of the requirements for
an American material culture
course taught by Dr. Rodney
Fulcher, Anderson researched the
history of the home and wrote a
paper based on his observations.
The double-door style of the
McNeill home became a popular
one in the area, Anderson quickly
observed. He describes the style as
a prime example of material cul
ture in that it is a traditional
solution to a practical problem.
Other features of the home are
fairly common for the area which
was originally settled by Scotch
Irish immigrants, the Marion. Ind.
freshman noted. The house has the
usual hall and parlor construction
with two external chimneys at each
gable-end. The asymmetrical two
room plan includes chimneys, win
dows. two-door and Doric columns
revealing a Greek influence.
Floors and parts of the ceiling
are polished wood although some of
the walls are made of plaster. The
home is furnished with common
slat back chairs, couch, tables and
other pieces reflecting a Scottish
heritage. Windows slide up and
down when not fastened by their
brass locks.
McNeill was born in the part ot
Richmond County now known as
Scotland County in July of 1874.
Born of Scottish descent, he grew
up on the farm and received his
early education at Spring Hill ?
School. After graduation from
Wake Forest College in 1899 where
he was an honor student and editor
of the school paper, he spent one
year as professor of English at ?
Mercer University.
Returning to North Carolina, he
began to practice law in Lumberton
with A.W. McLean. Although he
possessed the possibilities of a good
lawyer. McNeill was never really
interested in the legal profession.
His poetry gained acceptance
from the public and earned him a
well-deserved reputation. He
worked brief periods for the Laur
inburg Exchange and later wrote
for the Charlotte Observer. In 1905
he received the Patterson Memorial
Cup for having achieved the great
est literary success in North Caro
lina during the year.
About two years later his health
began to fail and he died in
October of 1907 of an acute attack
of nephritis.
Anderson's study of McNeill also
touched on the poetry that was as
much a part of McNeill's life as his
surroundings. Anderson describes
the poems of the Wagram native as
"a departure from the academic
studies".
McNeill was a romantic like his
contemporaries but he was also
greatly influenced by local color
and his regional culture. He used ?
Negro dialect and the rich vocabu
lary of the country folk he had been
reared with. His poems written in ,
Negro dialect were published under
the title "Lyrics from Cotton Land"
and reflect an earthy adroitness
that other dialect poets often
missed.

BY JOHN SLEDGE
N C Farm Bureau Federation
The time has come for Congress
to tackle the growing monopoly
power of organized labor. Farmers
have a direct interest in this. We
have learned firsthand about dock
strikes, and boycotts and what they
mean to pricing and marketing of
farm products.
We have learned what rail and
truck strikes can do to us. We
witness the growing political power
of unions, even though their
combined membership represents
less than a third of the total eligible
work force. ,
This labor monopoly has spent
millions of dollars to establish a
beachhead on farms.
Without question, in the mouths
and years ahead, we will be faced
with some far ? reaching decisions
concerning organized labor.
The union agenda for the new
Administration and the 95th Con
gress is well - known. It includes
repeal of Section 14 - B of the Taft -
Hartley Act which permits states to
adopt right - to - work laws.
Farmers oppose repeal of Section
14 - B and believe that states should
have the right to enact legislation
respecting and protecting the in
dividual's freedom to join or refuse
to join a union.
The agenda also includes pas
sage of "common situs" legislation
which would allow a single group of *
workers to shut down entire
construction projects. Such legis
lation is opposed by farmers
because it represents another ex
tension of the monopoly power of *
organized labor and is a form of
secondary boycott. j
The expense that comes from the
expanding monopoly power of
organized labor looms as moun
tanious to all of us in terms of'
higher costs, higher prices, and '
more inflation. ... ? w
