Railroad Mans Prayer

Oh, Lord, now that ] have
tagged thee, lift up my feet
from the rough road of life and
plant them safely on the deck
of the train Salvation. Let me
use the safety lamp known as
prudence. Make all the coup
lings in the train with the
strong link of Thy love and let
my headlamps be the Bible.
Heavenly Father, keep all
switches closed that lead off on
the sidings, especially those
with blind end. Oh, Lord, if
it be thy pleasure, have sima-
fore block along the line show
the white light of hope, that l
may make the run of life with
out stopping.
And Lord, give us the ten
commandments for a schedule
and when l have finished the
run on schedule time and pull
ed into the great dark station of
death, may Thou, the superin-
tendent of the universe, say,
well done, my good and faith
full servant, come and sign the
payroll and receive your check
of eternal happiness"

7S-Year-Old Man
Can't Have A
Tombstone Changed

Lenoir, Dec. 21-(AP)-A lone
ly, 73-year- old mountaineer NOV
ed about his secluded home
today unaware that the state
cannot change a tombstone
which falsely accuses him Of
murder.
Hamp Kendall wants the slab
in a country cemetery near here
changed. Erected over tn e
grave of Lareence Nelson, it
says that Nelson was murdered
and robbed by Hamp Kendall and
John Vickers, Sept. Is, 1906"
The marker is the last public
reminder of the nine years Ken
dali served in prison for a crime
the state admits he did not COM
nit. Convicted Of Nelson's STAY
ing, both Kendall and Vickers
were exonerated later and par
doned. Vickers died soon after
his release.
The state paid Kendall $500
for his years in prison. But that
was not enough, Kendall told
Gov. R. Gregg Cherry in a let
ter. He wanted the "slanderous"
tombstone changed too.
The Governor referred the
matter to the Caldwell County
Board Of Commissioners which
last night held that it could take
no action because of a state law
making It a misdemeanor to mo-
lest a tombstone.
Kendall's reaction to the
boards action is unknown. He
lives by himself in the mountains
rs miles from here and early to-
day he had not been notified that
his request has failed.
