Golden Sunset Life
Nick HI. Slaughter
Passes to Great Beyond
limo Tvpe of Southern Gentleman, a
Good Sport and Friend to
Mankind


In the death of n. H. Slaughter,
which occurred Saturday morning,
Anril 10th, at the home of his son,
Jdsh H. Slaughter, at Raleigh, N. c.,
. remarkable character in many re-
Snects "enters upon the long sleep
fTom which none ever wake to weep"
Mr. Slaughter came to High Point
over ~ 80 years ago and for II years
~ more, until he moved away,
was we'll and favorably known here.
Hp was a true sportsman in every
r.av: VA fond of angling, baseball and
ether outdoor sports. For two years
Ta backed the High Point baseball
rlnb which such well known baseball
fans of that day played on the team
as "Dett" King, Bob Stafford, Jess
Pagsdale, Joe Strayhorn, Chas. Hau-
cor and others, and the team at that
time was "king of the diamond in
PIEDMONT North Carolina especially.
For several years he lived at the old
a, N. Richardson house on East Wash
ington street, where now stands the
apartment houses of E. D. Steele.
Some 18 years ago Mr.. Slaughter
moved to Lexington to take up his
residence with his daughter, Mrs. -.
D. Hull, where he lived up to Decem-
her last, when he went to Raleigh to
make his home with a son, Josh H.
Slaughter. where he lived until his
death.
Mr.. Slaughter suffered a stroke Of
paralysis several years ago from
which he never fully recovered. De-
ceased was born in Pittsylvania coun-
tv, Virginia, 68 years ago. The re-
mains were inferred at Danville, Va,
where rests most of his people. Those
surviving are two sons and two
daughters: R. A. Slaughter, of Chi
cago; J. H. Slaughter, of Raleigh;
Mrs. C. D. Hull, of Lexingken; Mrs.
]. L. Orr, of Lexington; two grand
children, of Mrs. c. D. Hull, Jose
phine and Evangeline; one sister.
Mrs. Mamie Jennings, of Danville, Va.
Mr. Slaughter was one of those
kindly old men, a true type of the
old South, with his generous and
unbounded hospitality towards has
fellowman and sincere to the core. To
count him as a friend was 70 know
at all times that he could be relied
mon. whether in fortune or misfor-
tune. This type of Southern gentle
man is passing away all too rapidly
to keep alive that inbom spirit Oh
reverence for the virtue and traditions
of the sunny south, and especially he1
vomanhood. In closing we desire to
lay a sprig of ivy on his last resting
place, representing fidelity, constancy
and say to our friend, You have not
lived lin vain; rest in peace, good
sport, fine citizen and friend to man

to meet Mrs. Barr who wants to \enz

campaign. 1sssszjss sssz.s.s S.: SIS.
A pleasing feature of Friday night $
service was solo by Mrs. Schulle1i
"God is. Love. - - s So. S.
The .sUnanswered Question" Mrs
BaTr asked was How shan ye ES-
cape If We neglect SO great saliva
tion?" No answer has ever been
found and NO one will venture re-
ply.
A sermon might be preached on
escape" another, and strong one
on salvation" but Mrs Barr talked
on neglect" Il. *.
In spite of the crime wave, that
has swept the country lately, the
greatest danger of the age lies not
gross sins but in neglect. Here in
High Point we are most comfort
able group of people, weetle back and
saw Gust look who we are" We are
more concerned about the asphalt
streets of High Point than the golden
streets of New Jerusalem. Self salts
faction is the greatest sin of High
Point. Mrs. Barr told of trying to To-
cate Trinity church in New York and
she finally saw a church spire and as
she drew near, saw the church bore a
great sign on it's front, "Cold StOr-
age" Many other churches were they
honest should have that same legend
A little girl told her mother the
minister's text was "Many are cold
but few are frozen" 80,
The second cause of neglect is that
we do not think seriously. Challenge
to any man was mentioned. Think Sc
riously Is minutes a day about your
soul and inside of five days you will
decide to be Christian, she said.
The third cause of neglect is the
crowding of religion out of our lves
by so many other things. Our hands
are so full of making living that we
forget to make a life. we nave
crowded out the family altar.
| The fourth cause is putting tne
wrong estimate on values, like the
woman who wouldn't leave her house
when the river was rising and the
food was threatening because hel
bread was in the oven, or the mar
who was so eager to save his httle
litter of pigs that he failed to real!ze e
the danger of his family and his VIE
and children were all swept away ps N
the waters. The greatest hef1tags
