But the man having such work in

and he came to reconcile matters,
adopting the first route. The county
board proposes to pay a certain

work will be pushed with all possible

Shamwell was found guilty and was

appeals were made to Governor w.

was for going after them again until
he was dissuaded by friends. Trial

SHEMWELL HAS RECORD IN
COURTS OF THE STATE
Greensboro Daily News

The arrest of Baxter Shemwell
brings again to the bar of justice
one of the most noted men whose
history has ever been written in the
legal records of North Carolina. For
years Shemwell has bullied officers
defied the law, and threatened men
of all positions. He has laughed at
authority. He has almost dared Of
ficers to arrest him.
His record includes many charges.
He killed one man outright, and shot
at still others, he has been shot him
self, he has been involved in many
civil actions.
Few men in recent state history
have achieved so notorious his
tory. He was widely regarded as a
shooting man and killing man. In
deed, it has often been said that Of
ficers did not want to arrest him
didn't want to have anything to dc
with him, openly winked at his pres
ence and walked by on the other
side. Time and again his acts have
projected him into the limelight and
the state has looked on--from a safe
distance-and marveled.
The definite charge on which he
was arrested was for skipping bond

months on the roads for assault on

bears the word "assassinated."

So far as l have been able to find all
of these original members except one
have answered the call to a higher
life. Mr.. w. L. Bryan is the only
charter member now living. He is
with us this morning and want the
visitors to see and know the oldest
member of the church and Boone's
oldest citizen. He was clerk of the
church for'42 years and we are glad
he can be with US and help to dedi-
cate the second church he has helped
to build in Boone.
The church was organized in the
old court house and elected as its
pastor, w. M. Baldwin, rugged, out
spoken man of unusual native abili-
ty. They used the courthouse as a
place of worship until it was burned
in 1873; after this date the congrega-
tion worshipped in the Masonic Hall
until the completion of the church
building in 1875. This church was
built largely through the efforts Of
Mr.. Bryan, and Mr.. w. C. Coffey,
who for many years were the main
pillars of the church. 1t is interest

first ten years 1S71-1S81) exactly

membership increased to "a in. 1881,
but the next ten years shows not only
no increase but loss in membership
for in 1891 the number of members
was 80. The present membership
of the church is 26O.
The coming of the training school
and the growth of the town brought
some of the members to the realiza-
ton that we must soon have larger
and better equipped church building.
AS the demand for new building in
creased the possibilities for financ-
ing it decreased. But early in the
year 1914 w. R. Bradshaw visited us
and brought us to the realization that
we must have new church building.
On February 26, 1914, he started a
subscription for new building. This
subscription was signal for definite
