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. C., October 3, 1028.

1 'emocratic Nationa ^Committee.
He was horn in lsTP and educuted

e^e. In F.aiO he wa> stenograph**;

heijied his widowed mother and fum

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.
