Paul Was Good Man,
And Versatile Employee

AFTER INVENTORY SALE
Paul Jackson was just out of service and thinking about us-
ing some GI Bill credits for schooling. But The Herald found
him first and put him to work.
Charlie Carpenter, then The Herald sports editor and news
editor, told Paul, “Come on to work.” He did and stayed on
the job until August 1974 when The Herald was sold to Mr. and
Mrs. W. Garland Atkins and Paul, in semi-retirement, went
to work at First Baptist Church as a custodian.
Paul Jackson had a good ear which is important to
mechanical operations. If a machine didn’t sound right, he
found out why before proceeding to jamming the works.
Graduated from Davidson High School in 1937, he passed up
a Johnson C. Smith University scholarship to go to work for
the late Paul E. Hendricks, then the high school bandmaster,
a Kings Mountain physician for many years before his death.
Uncle Sam’s Army beckoned in 1942 and he served as a
trucker with the 3714th trucking company, 3rd Aviation Ar-
mored division. This division was loaded on a big liner,
stateside bound. Strangely, the big ship passed through the
Panama Canal, with just a few feet to spare, and the scut-
tlebutt had it the ship would make port at New Orleans. The
ship kept going and this division was on Guam, and making
ready to invade Japan when the war ended. Paul Jackson
wasn’t discharged until early 1947, after five years of service.
Paul Jackson’s death on Friday at the age of 67 brought
back some memories from those people who have worked at
The Herald over the years and respected this gentleman.
Charlie Carpenter, who hired Paul, is now owner and
operator of Carpenter Real Estate but he recalled that Paul
Jackson was ‘‘one of the most dedicated men I ever knew. He
really worked hard to get the paper out on time.”
Technically the Herald pressman, Paul could handle not

with. It was our loss that Paul left before he learned the offset
operation, but he could fit in almost anywhere there was a job
to do. He worked with Red Walker, now retired, in composi-
tion, operated a kluge and a Goss Webb fed press and hand
fed job presses and was an inspiration to many young people.
Bob, Allen, Bill and David Myers (brothers) learned their
printing trade at The Herald and other reporters who came
(and didn’t stay like my brother, Gary and I) trained in “Har-
mon College” as the late Publisher Martin Harmon used to
call The Herald, moved to bigger jobs and bigger
newspapers.
Bob Myers and Allen Myers, who own and operate Myers
Printing Company downtown, give credit to Paul for helping
them launch their business by teaching them the ropes of the
job printing business in the Herald back shop. In those early
years, the Herald did a booming job printing business and
employees in the back shop had to be jacks-of-all trades. Paul
never learned to operate the linotype machines but he was a
whiz on the big printing press and had the patience of Job
when machinery broke down, which it almost always did.
His Herald friends will miss Paul Jackson.

Suber in a joint statement.
Suber said the Chamber of
Commerce is moving toward
occupying the old City Hall
courtroom and that directors
are looking forward to
growth and progress in 1988.
“We plan to be a Working
Chamber for the Greater
Kings Mountain area’, said
Suber, who said the former
mayor is ideal for the spot of
the first chairman of the com-
mission.
