Regrets His Leaving I-ditor ( hronicle: The resignation of Rev. J. 1\ (Jrahum as pastor of the Camden Baptist Church, to take ef- ' fei t January 1st, comes as a distinct j surprise to our community and to I many of us brings deep regret. For | foui years he has labored amoiijfai? and m all that time he has betyi in- ; defatigabje in his work -always responding most graciouslv to every j 1 duty. I nder his charge the I < huivh has made many very great advances. As one who has heard a majoi ity ol his sei nion.s during his pastorate here I can say that I have never heard from him a poor one. 1 lay were always inspiring, uplifting and helpful, carrying a> they did a splendid message for the waiting congregation. I always felt that when I missed one uf his sermons I had missed a great deal. He ha done a great work lor tin- Church and the community and it is in appreciation of this work that these lines pre written. I for one will miss him and sincerely wish for him abundant success wherever he may locate. Very respectfully, W. L. McDOWKLL. Camden, S.

He asked for a laise. didn't get and then moved to Lorain, Ohio, '.o become the secretu: y of a man named P. S. du Foint. He asked for the munificient salary of $1,000 a >ear?ami got it! When Pierre du Point and his two cousins acquired the great K. I. du Point de Nemuors Co., Raskob came with du Point to Wilmington, Helaware as his secretary. When du Point became president of the gigant.? concern, Raskob was elevated to the post of treasurer. Still later the former stenographer was elected vice president in charge of finance. He began buying stock in General Motors and convinced du Point to do the same, and soon du Pont and he were surprised to learn that through a pei u.iar combination of circumstance they held the balance of power in General Motors. The two big stockholders holdings were so evenly balanced that Kaskoh and du Point could tip the scale. Raskob and du Pont became directors of General .Motors. In a later reorganization Raskob became vicepresident, and he has been chairma i of the Finance committee since FJ28. The story of Raskob's rise is one of the most sensational success stories in the history of America. Today he is financial head of a billion dollar corporation, and a bigger financier than all but a handful of the country bankers. He married in PJ06 and the crowning glories of his life are his children. There are twelve of them. His optimism, his enthusiasm, and his ability to work hard are the true secrets of his astounding succes. He la a great organizer and administrator. His career, like national leaders, graphically illustrates the vast opportunities America offers to the small town boy. John M. McGann, proprietor of a Charlotte restaurant, shot and killed H. G. Knuckle on Sunday, because j Knuckle refused to pay for a bottle of t pop he had drank and had done the .same thing several times before. McGann was arrested and charged with murder. _ ? ? mmm mmm Mi mmm MB M M M m4 I GENERAL. NEWS NOTES < lolte at a moot ing lapsed $ I '?.
