hO O.. Nabors formerly with the
BruIGo News but recently elected
ChaIlo and manager of the Rocky
edltol Dailv Record will be pleasantly
MOu n here where he met many
ren Ea citizens while covering the Myr-
Ct tn NJ wilkins murder mystery inquest
tie % amer. Nabers made his head
fOL r+ars in the Hustler Office and rem
guu"od valuable service to this paper.
De- ng the inquest. MI. Nabers re-
d uIn9 longer in the city than any of
n@A nT+ of town newspaper men and he
te .on the Job when the mysterious
"a S cf Will Fletcher was commit
m9i near Fletcher. Racing in an auto
l Eobiln with a party, Mr.. Nabers was
lho first newspaper man on the scene
- the coroners inquest.
d. TO those who knew Mr.. Nabers in
no civ the article copied below will
u 81 neculiar interest and they wish
Nc we'll in his new undertaking. The
p pIl Mount Daily Record says:
IN order to secure means to i'm
.roIo the Record, the management in
l,nCtioated the field of opportunity of
serod very thoroughly. Preference
I'D have been given to home talen
w. hut trained talents was required,
ND 90 one was secured who had been
aIoinnd in a field which fitted him for
tho work. Rocky Mount is a new city,
ci+v which has been made by ambi-
cons talent which left fields of less
tnriting prospect to come and join
LOO with the more virile talent CT
home folks. A stranger of character
and talent who comes to Rocky Mount
~ ioin the crowd engaged in making
Rocky Mount greater and incidental
" to share in the profits, thereby, is
not q stranger long. He soon becomes
nma1eamated with the hustling, in
Jnatrious forces at work in the city
and if he is the right kind he is made
welcome. The writer is confident that
Mr. Nabers will prove a valuable adj
dition to the citizenship of Rocky
Mount, and that he is of the kind that
is needed here. The following article
is clipped from the Charlotte News
from which paper The RecSrd secured
his service:
Bruce Nabers leaves The News to-
dav, after three years good work, to
become editor and manager of The
Record of Rocky Mount, n. G. MI.
Nabers is a good man, capable, expe-
rienced and a hard worker. Rocky
Mount is a good town The two to-
gether should turn out a good paper.
We regret to see him leave and wish
him we'll in his new work. Mr.. Nabers
can handle any end CT a newspaper
and we feel sure Sc will more than
make good in Rocky Mount.
Bruce Nabers-Bruce Quigly Ma
bers, if you please-proof-reader, tel
egraph editor, corresponding mana
ger, dramatic critic sportsman,
special correspondent, and humorist
of The News-and in spit of it all a
good fellows no more, locally
speaking. He. departed Charlotte life
this morning. The linotype broke
down when it came to the sad good
bye.
Bruce goes to his reward in Rocky
Mount, and the rest OF us remains to
mourn his happy lot. Another man
will assume his multiple task, and af-
ter a time he too will either move on
or move out, and so forth, and SO on
as long as newspapers are printed.
Progress is the law CT the \printshop
as elsewhere; only the printer has to
go out with a gun for his and bring
it in.
1t so happened about a month ago
when everybody in North Caroline
was asking everybody else about the
tragedy at Hendersonville that The
News editor dispatched Bruce thereto
with Instructions to shoot the stories
into his paper ahead of anything else
that might be on the wire. Bruce fol-
lowed instructions with his usual re-
ligious fidelity, and is really wasn't
his fault that the dope was as color
less as it a But the same pale
