END COMES TO
GOOD MAN
Benjamin B. Nance Passed Away
Monday Night, Ripe In
Years.

Mr.. Benjamin Bedford Nance, one
of the county's oldest and most es-
teemed citizens, died at midnight
Monday night, March %, Of feeble
ness incident to old age. All of his
surviving children were at his bed
side and he peacefully passed into
the reward of a well-spent life.
Mr.. Nance was a native of Chris
tian county and was born in the COM
modious old Southern mansion in
which he died, near the former town
of Pee Dee, in the western part of
the county. Here for nearly 100
years father and son dispensed an
open-handed hospitality surpassed no.
where in any state. When a boy of
16 he united with Little River Bap-
fist church and for nearly 70 years
was an active and useful member,
for the greater part of that time the
recognized leader in all that the
church was called upon to under
take.
In 1850 he was married to Miss
Jane Giles and to them were born
four daughters and one son. Two
of these, Mrs. r C. Crenshaw and
]. B. Nance survive. After the
death of his first wife in 1860 he
married Miss America b. Usher.
They had one son who died in infancy
and Mrs. Nance died Aug. 10, 1867.
On Oct. %, 1872, he married her sis
ter, Miss Josephine H. Usher, who
survives with four daughters, Mrs.
j. p. Meacham, of Gracey; Mrs. For
rest Binns. of Cadiz; and Misses Mary
and Elizabeth Nance.
AS his own church is without a
pastor, funeral services We're held
Tuesday at 1870 p. m. at the resi-
dence, by Rev. J. C. Tate, pastor of
the Presbyterian church at New
stead, and the interment was in the
cemetery at Newstead.
Thus has passed away one of the
best citizens of Christian county,
whose long life was one record of
good deeds and upright acts. All
who knew him were his friends, for
he walked day in and day out as a
man of God, shining example of
the religion he professed.
Mr.. Names father was Joel Nance,
who was born in Bedford county,
Va. and was soldier in the war of
1912. He came 10 Christian county
in 1921 and settled on the farm where
his son was born and where he died

surance protection for appendices or
bargain price for removing them.
Outside of these matters we only
needed a little more of what we al
ready have.
The Jones family did not bear off
all the honors. The Smiths also had
a highly capable representative and
Ira d. Smith, county attorney, pre-
dicted great things for Christian
with all Of us pulling together. He
asked little more forbearance in
critisizing possible mistakes and pre-
dicted that the time would soon come
when the tango could be danced on
the public highways from Apex to
Lafayette without hitting a rock or
soiling a slipper.
Representative John c. Duffy de-
Tended the record of the General
Assembly and said its economy at
least was entitled to credit. 1t had
cut down reckless expenditures. He
said he believed he was right in vot-
ing for the Glenn insurance bill up
on the ground that the companies
were charging too much. He told
of his trials and tribulations as a
legis ator and said he was glad to be
back home.
The cigars for the smoker were
donated by Chambers & Co. and the
flowers, as usual, by Tom Metcalfe.
Mrs. Metca!fe was assisted by Mrs.
j. j. Metcalfe and Miss Fannie Bro
naugh in serving the meal.
Everybody had a good time excenk !.

Talking Behind Ones Back

The Greenville Piedmont. says:
Nobody who really knows Cole L.
Blease and really knows Lewis w.
Parker believes for the thousandth
part of second that the aforesaid
Cole L. Blease will, face to face with
Mr.. Parker, say those things about
him which he belched forth in the
meeting at Woodside last night. A
sufficient commentary on that speech
was furnished by one who heard it.
After, in the most demogogic way
Blease had tried to influence passion
against Mr. Parker because he had
by hard work succeeded in life a
little more than those who are now
working for the company of which
he is the highest employe, the COVER
nor said he would like to talk about
Senator Smith. but did not like to
talk about a man behind his back.
One man in the audience at this
point shouted: MIR. Parker is not
here and you talked about him.

Il. W. Belk Commended.

An erroneous impression is being at
tempedted to be perperrated by some
it appears, relative TO the Finley-Ste-
venson episode at Pageland. We wish
TO commend Mr.. T. W. Belk for his
quick, thoughtful and levelheaded ac-
tion in quieting what seemed an ap-
preaching general free for all knife
and fist fight among men who had lost
control of their tempers and better
judgement. While others were cheer
ing on the principals, which enraged
opposing friends and caused serious
complications. Mr.. Belk took prompt
and decided action which put a quie-
tus on the whole proceedings in ten
seconds. Mr.. Stevenson and Mr.. Finley
said that Mr.. Belk did the best thing
that could have been done. We thank
you, Mr.. BClk.
