Just Ten Years
Ago
(Taken From Cleveland Star Of
Tuesday, December 9, 1924.)
With the auditorium packed to
capacity the final service was held
Sunday evening in the old Central
Methodist church. Such a part has
the church played in the history of
the town and such are the memories
connected with it that many of
other denominations heard the final
•ermon by Rev. A. L. Stanford.
In the large congregation that
gathered for the farewell service in
the old building Sunday evening
there were three who heard the
first service 51 years ago—WiUiam
Hamrick, Mrs. Laura Wells and
John K. Wells.
“Ladles Night,” the big program

scheduled. The guest of honor—in
addition to the ladies—and chief
speaker was Dr. D. W. Daniels of
Clemson college, an after dinner en
tertainer of unusual ability.

Historic Debate
SocietyDisbands
After 97 Years
DAVIDSON, Dec. 6—The Phi
literary society, exlstant on the Da
vidson campus for almost a cen
tury, has disbanded because of a
lack of Interest on the part of the
students.
This society, founded in 1837, has
played a prominent part in the life
of Davidson. With Eu society, tha
other literary*" and debating organ
ization on the campus, tills society
formerly held a position of promi
nence in the social and political life
of the campus.
Prom their inception in 1837
down to the beginning of the last
decade, the two societies were the
leading organizations on the cam
pus. They virtually controlled the
social life of the campus, were the
major factors in the commence
ment occasions at Davidson, and
were the leaders in the literary life
of the college.
Since 1020, however, the two
groups have been declining stead
ily, and have been replaced by oth
er groups, so that their function
during the past 15 years has been
restricted almost exclusively to de
bating.
The halls which have been the
meeting places of the two societies
are two of the oldest landmarks at
Davidson, having been constructed
during the first half of the nine
teenth century. The Phi hall is fa
mous for the chandelier which is a
replica of the one under which Na
poleon III was married. Eu hall is
noted for the fact that Woodrow
Wilson, when a student at David
son, made his first public address
there.
Cameron Deans. of Davidson,
president of the society, stated that
it was the hope of the officers to
re-organize the society at some time
in the future.

Shelby’s Grand old Man, Reaches 81
Rev. J. E. Thompson, "Shelby's
Grand Old Man," sits on his piazza
or walks the streets In beautiful
resignation to the tides of time. His
eighty-first birthday has come and
gone; still he patiently waits and
still he says with Henry Van Dyke:
"I shall grow old
B-1 never lose life's zest,
Knowing that the last turn of the
rftad
Will be the best.”
Truly, he has good reason for the
equanimity of spirit which he en
joys. His life has been lived on such
a high plane that he now finds that
serenity that la attained only by the
great hearted.
The Rev. Mr. Thompson was born
In Alamance »county In 1853.
He attended Trinity colloge (now
Duke university) during the presi
dency of that great man. Dr. Brax
ton Craven. Mr. Thompson won
many honors during his college days
and was graduated with the A. B.
degree In 1878. He got his Master's
degree In 1880.
During the presidency of Dr
Crowell, Mr. Thompson was asked
to accept a professorship In the col
lege, but he declined feeling that his
work was in the active ministry.
He Joined the conference In 1879
and was In the service for 47 years.
At one time he was pastor of the
Central Methodist church in Shel
by. Among other churches, he serv
ed as pastor of Asheboro, Belmont.
Concord and High Point. He was
presiding elder of the Statesville
and Charlotte districts.
The church at Belmont retained
his services for six years. This was
one of the first extensions beyond
the customary quadrennlum.
Many offices In the Western
North Carolina conference were
given him. He was the first presi
dent of the Historical Society.
Several years ago he served as
president of the Trtnlty College
Alumni association. He has main
THE REV. S. E. THOMPSON
Uiint'd a keen Interest In that In
stitution for more than a half cen
tury. He has seen it grow from a’
little college Into a great univer
sity. It Is now his plan to attend the
Duke day dinner In Shelby on De
cember the tenth, the tenth anni
versary of the signing of the Duke
Endowment by Mr. James B. Duke
Mr. Thompson married Miss Rosa
P< ques, a daughter of one of South
Carolina's oldest and most promin
ent families.
Since his superannuation In 1926,
he has made his home here with
his daughter, Mrs. Lamar Oldney.
His presence Is a blessing to the
community. His many friends wish
for him lengthened days. As for
himself, he says, "I don't know how
far down the road I'll Journey, but
I expect to stop in front of my
Father’s house.”
