Rockingham post-dispatch. [volume] (Rockingham, N.C.) 1917-1965, 1922-07-27
printed by The Post.Dispa,ch)

The first chapter of the story was
one filled with dripping blood,
gambling dens,vivid with sordidness
and aching with sin and shame. He,
flashing ON the minds OF his hearers,
pictures of grin-faced men around
poker tables with the sky as the linn
it. He visualized dirty, ill-smelling
beer stands and barrooms that fair
ly rocked with the odor of stale
beer and pungent whiskey.
The second chapter was one filed
with aches and tears and heart
throbs. He brought before the peo-
pie pleading Christ that was beg
ging for his life. He told of fiinging
away his dice, giving up his below
ed bull dogs and game chickens,
and finally yielding to the call to
which he was born. The chapter
reaching gripping climax as he
stood on his chair and cried, "Peo-
pie, am called to preach. II you
ever want to see b man that was cali

ed to preach and called through IA
long dreary years, why Just look at
the man before you
The third chapter was filled with
fine figures of speech. The preacher
pictured the God that pulls down the
rainbow, weaves it into o scarf and
filings it on the shoulders of the re-
treating storm. He told how the
stars sang and when he came out
of the tent after accepting the call
that had rlng in his ears through
ALI the odor and stencil of the first
chapter. He told how the trees bow
ed and said, we are glad, Mack
and finally ended the chapter with a
stirring plea for a better Rocking
ham, and bigger and truer belief
and acceptance of the Christ he
breaches.
Many people left the tent with
tears still in their eyes and men, big
and stalwart men, walked down the
aisles and wept as they took the
preachers hand in a covenant for
"a better life and a belief in the Sa-
vior the evangelist held before the
audience,
X Mr.. McLendon will preach on The
Devil tonight. He promises the
greatest sermon of the meeting, tell
ing his crowd last night that he
knew a lot of things on the devil
that hadn't been told as yet but that
would be told tonight.
Mack got down to business last
night. There was nothing Of the
sensational. He used no Slang, and
his few gestures only emphasized.
the point he was making. He de-
scribed how the Lord called him to,
preach wl,m he was a child IL
years old. He told of how he and
his father drove 10 miles to the town
of Bennettsville, and heard q mar
velous sermon by DR.. Carrodine, who
when he called for converts looked
back in the rear Of the tent and
said, You boys come up here and
accept Christ, there are baskets OF
possibilities locked up in some Of
you, and no doubt will call some
of you boys to preach, and If you
will yield you viii be a blessing to
the world.
Y Here Mack told how it dawned
upon him that to this end he was
born. He said the light flashed and
dazzled and scintillated around himl
and he sat there bewiIdered with
wonder, and amaze at the great God
that weaved the rainbow into al
scarf and wrapped it around the
shoulders OF the dying Storm the
God that threw out planets and fixed /
stars and controlled nliiverses; the !

Grand Jury Report.

NJ
The following is the Report Of
The Grand jury, to which Judge
Long referred to above:
To His Honor, B. F. Long,
Judge Presiding:
We, the Grand Jury for Rich
mond county for the six months
term beginning July, 1922, do
make the following report:
We have heard the States evil
dence in AZ cases and have found
AZ true bills. One case, that
against Morris Quinn, was con-
tinued for want of witnesses.
All cases submitted by your
Honor, and by the Solicitor, have
been duly reported.
BY committee we have visited
the Home for the Aged and In
firm. We find there IA colored
and 7 white inmates. The
grounds are we'll kept, and the
premises in good condition. The
superintendent, H. G. Mclean,
with his colored helper has IL
acres in corn, an acre and quar-
ter in sweet potatoes and a good
garden. We find there 2 good
cows that are at present giving z
gallons of milk each day, A hogs,
/ horse and a quantity of poultry.
For your Honor's information,
the County Home is of brick,
with a wing on either side of a
central building, in which central
building lives the superintendent
and family. In one wing is the
colored section; the other the
white. The home is heated by
a furnace in the winter, ami is
properly screened and the water
works in excellent shape. We
find the food wholesome. The
superintendent states that he|
personally sees that each inmate
takes a bath every Saturday. Vel
find one colored man whose leg
is in bad condition and would
suggest that the County Physician
take steps to have it amputated
if deemed necessary. We find a |
white woman insane but harm.
less whom it is necessary to keep
under lock and key. An effort |
is being made to get her in the
State Hospital. We would sug-l
gest to the County Commission
ers that awning be built over
each of the western windows, and
this without delay.
By committee we visited the
county chain-gang. We find
there Is mules and So men. TheI
mules are in good condition ex-
cept two that have CALLED shout
ders and these are being doctored.
The cages are crowded, but clean
under the circumstances. The
premises are swept. The men
say they are treated well and mol.
complaint about the food.
BY committee we visited the
county Jail. We have a number
of criticisms of this jail, and we
are mentioning them here not in
a spirit really of criticism against
any one or against the commiss-
toner's, but rather as suggestionsl
for the betterment of the CON
ditions. In the first place, theiI
jail-yard is not clean; it should
be kept better Next, the walls
of the jail are despatched, butfs
we realize the jailer is not rel
sponsible for this. Neither is he
responsible for the lack Of lights,
inside. From the Sanitary Rules
and Regulations governing thel,
management Of jails, as provided
for il Chapter 286 Public Laws I,
of 1917, we find this paragraph:
Sufficient light. natural and arti-
fetal, must be provided to permit
Of reading ordinary type during
day or night without eye-strain.
Rockingham post-dispatch. [volume] (Rockingham, N.C.) 1917-1965, 1922-07-27

nlgnt, ana Dull ilttle readlng m
the day. We urge that electric
lights be installed in the cells,
properly screened against break
lage. Again, we urge that the
toilets be provided with covers,
We understand that they have
been covered in the past, but no
sign remains. 1t is difficult to
keep a drunk or other prisoner
iron wanton destruction, but
nevertheless repairs should be
made or new covers provided.
We find that the State law re.
Touring sheets and springs to
hunks is being violated. We are
also aware that sheets in the past
have been provided, but none
are now visible. We urge that
! sheets be provided as required
lby Section 9 of the Sanitary
Rules. Also pillows and springs,
The State law requires that a
jail must be so constructed that
there will be least 600 cubic feet
of air space and go square feet of
floor space for each prisoner.
With the present price of air we
Insist that this is not too much.
The prisoners in our jail do not
have this amount of space, but
the Jail is built and this cannot
now be remedied. We strongly
urge to the county commissioners
that every window in the Jail be
SCREENED. There is not a
screen in the jail; the State law
requires this of every Jail. Flies
have free ingress, and they take
every advantage of the freedom.
We would also suggest that some
sort of awning, or protection
against the sun be placed on the
western windows.
In this matter of the Jail, we
know that the building is intend
ed not SO much as a place of
punishment, but for confinement
prior to trial. Often a prisoner
comes out acquitted. And it is
in every sense right and proper
that the prison be made sanitary
at least. We do not mean to i'm
ply that the place is filthy or
suggest that it is in a disgraceful
condition; it is not. No doubt it
lis in better shape than the maj
'ority of the fails of the State, but
we feel an especial solicitude for
our county institutions; hence
our going into detail about the
jail.
We have appointed a commit !
tee to make such visits as they
may deem necessary to the in
situations between terms Of
Court, and also to visit in detail
the county Offices and report at
next term Of criminal court.
We are in hearty accord with |
the very evident trend of public
sentiment throughout the county |
as regards enforcement of the |
prohibition laws; and we trust !
the people will give us such in.
formation as will enable us tol
function along this line. 1t will |
be Gus purpose to keep "our ears
open and ewes alert"
We thank your Honor for your
consideration ofus, and for theun-
usually able and instructive ch'rge
made to us on July oath, 1922.
With appreciation in advance for
The support Of the people, whose
servants we are, we beg to offer
you this, our Report, and ask
that we be discharged for this
immediate term.
Signed John N. Hasty,
Foreman

Secretary.

THE McLENDONMEETINCI
Continued from Eront eausl

rear OF the tent. Immediately
lNr Tendon stopped his discourse
an6a startled air of expectancy
seemed to pervade the 5000
people fronting him. The three
came on down and meeting in
front of the platform, saluted, and
handed Mr.. McLendon a sealed
letter. The three then without a
word wheeled and marched out
| the tent the same way they en-
tered. Mr.. McLendon opened
the letter and found within a
check for SIPS for himself, and a
typewriter note containing this
endorsement: "A slight token
of our appreciation Of your eff
fectual efforts to help us clean
up our county, community and
state"
On last Sunday he was greeted
with three huge audiences, prob
ably $4,000 coming under the
sound of his voice at 'the three
services. Monday night the
tent was again filled by the col
ored people, with perhaps 1000
white people additional. AT this
service he called on a colored
preacher, Ingram Quick, to pray;
and stated that it was 20 years
ago at st. Stephens colored
church that he heard Quick
preaching such an inspiring
funeral sermon that he came
near being converted then and
there.
A remarkable feature of the
revival has been and is the daily
morning prayer meetings held
over the town and mills. Miss
Palmer is undoubtedly a great
bible student and leader, and her
work is telling.
One of the greatest outcrOp.
pings of this revival is the forma-
ton of the McLendon Club, the
purpose of which is to clean upl
the town and county. AS a re.
suit, aided through other means,
a number of notorious blindtigers
have left town, and others mol
doubt will shortly follow. AL
clean UP is certain.
On Wednesday nightMr. Nc
Lendon spoke to the women onlyl
at the tent, the subject being
Home" He dwelt particularly |
on dancing and the modern I'M
chaperoned JOY riding. Miss
Palmer spoke to the men only at
the Methodist church, and scores
could not get in.
Last night a delegation came
here from Monroe to invite Mr..
McLendon to hold a meeting
there. 1t seems certain that he
will visit that town in November.
He has many kindred in Union
and is glad to 60 there.
His great great grandfather. Ed
ward Richardson. is remembered
as having killed Is Torys at
Roughedge, 8 miles from Mon
roe, in the Revolutionary days.
Mr.. McLendon starts a meet
ng at Lincolnton August 18th,
and then goes six weeks later to
Richmond for a six weeks reviv-
al.
On Saturday morning he viii
preach at Mt. Gilead at ii o'clock.
His father, Tom McLendon, was
born near Mt. Gilead, as was his
grandfather, Ben, great grand
sather, Dennis, and great great

Observation-Disclosures and its
ethereal visitor, which apparently has
gone on a strike since the arrival OF
scientists and curiosity seekers, is
backed into insigniticance when com
pared to the bodyleSs visitors who
sometimes pick out Washington as a
ghostly rendezvous.
AT least so says William ii. Bryson.

chaser of the District, who allows that
since he first started studying the
habits and mannerisms Of spooks; five
years. CO., he has been visited by 20
assorted ghosts, all of whom turned
out with one exception to be first rate
chaps.
Bryson, who until recently was en-
ployed in the government service in a
semi-scientitic capacity, had come out
with the blanket statement that ghosts
do bGve bodily characteristics and,
contrary to popular belief, the hand
clasp of a spook is warm and not cold
and clammy.
While the hunter after the habitat
of the dweller in the world beyond
has made no effort to photograph his
nocturnal visitors. he says he has held
protracted conversations with many Of
his friends and relatives who have
passed on.

On one occasion. Bryson said, his
brother visited him and complained
bitterly about conditions on :he
Florida seacoas where a self Prospect
ing ghost of the past decade could
not enjoy himself. Whether it was
the beach nymphs or the conditions
regarding the influx of foreign spirits
from Scotland the ghost did not saw.
but he nevertheless said he would
seek some other cline during the win
ter of 1923.
The wandering ones also are sub
ject to d~own-and-out periods in
"shadowland,' Bryson states. as one
friend who was rather opulent here
came wandering into his room with
ghostlE garments that had been
patched in several places.
Don't Like Cold Reception.
In this connection the saying that
you can't take it with you" may be
erroneous, as the spook gave every
evidence, according to the spectator.

greenbacks to buy q new set of gar

few dollars of his while on earth in
a business deal. "In the future Won
Will see me often" the spook is said
to have announced in the language of
the beyond, and to prove it he came
for six nights running.
Asked If he ever became nervous at
the nocturnal visitations, Bryson
FASTENED to remark that he did not in
vite the bodyless ones to visit him, but
did not put up signs that no spook
traffic would be allowed.
He qualified his last statement by
saying that a prohibitive sign would
only go to rile the departed ones and
he would no doubt have his home clut-
tered up with a bevy Of ghosts each
