Once owned by an English lord, the original grant was in 1766. Now a modern plantation equipped with modern devices, it has a 3,500 x 2,500 foot landing ‘strip ‘which is shown on most official air maps First Drug Store West of Allegheny The first drug store west of the Allegheny Mountains was the McDowell Apothecary Shop in Danville, Ken- tucky. It was operated by Dr. Ephraim McDowell from 1795 to 1830. Dr. McDowell, a noted pioneér siirgeon, lived next door to his shop. It was in this house that Dr. McDowell performed the world’s first ovariotomy in 1809. Both the house and apothecary shop have been restored and are open to the public. The War of Jenkins’ Ear One of the wars in which American colonists con- tributed money and troops to aid England was the War of Jenkins’ Ear. Fought during 1739-1748, against Span- iards principally in Georgia and Florida, the war was named after Englishman Robert Jenkins.

Mr. T.E. Swann, RFD Statesville, N.C. Dear Mr. Swann: I have somewhere in my notes the infor- mation that you have listed one JAMES GRAHAM somewhere along the Rowan-Iredeli County line, giving his tombstone dates. I am interested in learning about the GRAHAM tombstones that you have listed and will appreciate it if you will advise me as to the exact location where this JAMES GRAHAM is buried, and also if any others are there. I have some information that I will gladly pass on to you regarding one or two old private graveyards in Iredell that I have run across in my 30 years research in the old Rowan-Iredell deed records. Do you have any data on the name McElrath® 1t may be spelled Mcelwrath, or several other ways. These people had land near Elmwood, also in other places in both Rowan and Iredell. I would-like to get in touch with you sometime when I am in Statesville, so you may see me any day as I go to Statesville quite often. c Thanking you and with my kindest regards, 1 an, Cordially yours, hol Wm.

J. over the ministry of this inter- national figure. _| His father was a Presbyterian i minister within the northern 4 church. Carl Mclntire entered | law school to prepare for his profession in life. From here he was called into the ministry. The formal training of this man no doubt led to his ability to enter a field of service as a 4 minister not many pastors A have. He is indeed a scribe in both the secular and religious At present he is pastor of the Bible Presbyterian Church of Collingswood, N. J., which he has served for 30-some years, membership over a thousand. He refused to bow down to the demands of the officials of the denomination in 1934 when they ‘ Commanded him to resign from his membership on the Board of Independent Foreign Missions for Presbyterians. Because of this refusal, the court of the church claims to have “de- frocked” McIntire. Yet these men do not know the Lord sets his men over the church and they can not in reality defrock any man through their powers. After the Collingswood church’s withdrawal from the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A., five members, loyal to the denomination, carried the con- gregation to the Chancery Court, asking possession of the church property valued at $260,000. The five members were granted this request and Dr. McIntire led his con- gregation of 1,200 out of the building. This is the background for the most bitterly attacked minister of this nation. Yet it is also the basis of why God has so highly honored and used this man to lead multitudes to be faithful to the commands of God. He is a spiritual giant among those who need a leader in the midst of a latter day Babylon. This man is the author of many books. He has published the Christian Beacon, a weekly religious newspaper, since 1936, going into every state of the union and in 87 foreign coun- tries. He was elected president, in 1948, when the International Council of Christian Churches was organized, which office he still holds. This council is com- posed of individual churches from all Protestant deno- minations who hold to the his- toric Christian faith, accepting the Bible as the very word of God. It is affiliated with bodies and agencies in 60 nations which simply cannot be brushed aside. Here lies the cause of so much smear and discredit heaped upon this man as he is feared by leaders who want to keep the National ‘Council and World Council of churches in . good repute. This is a reason most all news reporting only gives McIntire as a fundamental radio preacher. But although the press has lately admitted they deliberate- ly ignored him because he is not deemed important enough to acknowledge, the federal government has done anything but ignore him. He has been continually harrassed by some agency of the government, whether the Internal Revenue Service, seeking to take away his tax exempt status, or in the Federal Communications Com- mission, seeking to silence his radio broadcasts. Shelton In view of the much talk and news items concerning the event to take place in Washing- ton, D. C., this coming Satur- day, I want to give some facts telling who Car] McIntire is. All newspaper items I have seen the past weeks only reveal he is a fundamental radio preacher. This is said purposely in order | to keep from the eye of the aver- age reader the real truth of the leadership of this man. I am re- ferring to the naticnal news re- ports of things as connected to the gathering of patriots who disapprove of the way our government is handling the affairs of our nation, both at I have known this man, Dr. McIntire, for many years. | have supported his mission work among the several . Churches through the Board of i Missions, independent of that belonging to the denominational boards. I have had personal contact with him also, as a year ago I visited the Christian Ad- miral at the Conference center | All the attacks, smears, ® | slander that have surrounded this man of God, as well as the \ | greatness to us who know him mi a a Christian leader, are be- ima Cause he chooses to obey God m tather than man. This is the basis forall the controversy College twice has been ordered closed, yet in all these pro- ceedings against the work connected with this man, the courts so far have given victory over those who wanted to sup- press him. Dr. Mclntire is president of Shelton College; he serves on the Board of Directors of Faith Theological Seminary at Elkins Park, Pa., and is connected with other missions and re- ligious agencies I will not mention. But his work as direc- tor of the conference center for Faith and Freedom in Cape May, N. J., has far reaching in- fluence. It draws conservative men from the Congress of the U. S. as well as Governors of states to speak on matters relating to the spiritual state of this nation, I have no idea of the party af- filiation of this man, for he is not interested in what party is in power at the White House, but only the spiritual influence that comes forth from those in high places. Even though he spent time living with our soldiers in Viet- nam this summer, talking at length with Gen. Abrams, when he asked for an interview with our President, he is turned down. So far as can be deter- mined he is the only leader who has been thus treated. And all know the fight to keep Vice President Ky of Vietnam from coming to Washington for the rally has been successful, But there is an open door given to the servants of God. Men have said McIntire should stick to his business of the church and let other men run the country. But he is sticking to his business as he must warn this nation of the judgment sure upon a people who has turned from acknowledging the God who made them great. This is the business of the minister of God. It has been all throughout the ages. The orophets of the Lord were always given to warn the Kings and the peoples them- selves of danger when they go in a course not approved by Him. If we would, we could see in the word sent back to us from heaven, the prophets of the Lord rule this earth for God for 3% years as they have power to destroy the enemies who would harm them until their work is done. This is why we can con- tinue fighting when the battle seems to be going against us. The victory is already won, we are only to enter the fight in order to be such God will honor. The outcome is sure, but the participation of the Christian in the battle is a must. Dr. Carl Mcintire is the bond slave of Jesus Christ. Mrs. John H. Summers To the Editor, Mrs. Bertha Watts of Moores- ville had her letter in the paper last Thursday about Judge Arthur Beckham and our Statesville Recorder's Court and the way politics and com- munism are stripping men of their rights in public court- rooms. It is just as Mrs. Watts said ‘‘No one would believe it unless you saw it.’’ I have been involved personally in a case where a persons rights were destroyed by politics and com- munism in a courtroom. The case | am speaking of happened the same way Mrs. Watts de- scribed her case. That is police officials telling a person what to say before he takes the stand. This does not happen once in a while, it happens continually — especially here in Iredell County. Mrs. Watts also spoke of Judge Arthur Beckham. He is one person our courtrooms could do without. Mr. Beckham definitely needs to be replaced If all of these things I and Mrs. Watts mentioned are not communism, and if you private citizens think that this can never happen to you, then you just take time to go to Judge Beckham's courtroom or any courtroom in this county and I can assure you that you will be shocked, disgusted and sick, at what you see happening People, you'd better get to- gether! One person cannot stand alone, and if you are con- cerned at all about your free- dom then you'd better get busy Politics and communism go hand in hand and if things get any worse you won’t have any freedom at all Mrs, James ( Margaret Messick In medi al England scot’ was a > asuniciea! tax assessed according to ability to pay.

On August 29, 1754, der Osborne and James , praminent citizen of ury, met. with the ba Indians at the house of »w Tool, interpreter. The bas: were led by a chief King Hagler, who had the place of Young yw when he had passed he scene in 1749. Hagler e an even greater chief ‘oung Warrior had been. j just established himself ‘when be met Osborne 7 f Ahh fh, - : , Statesville Recorg@e Landmark Leni Ye — ) I C { UL + ‘ | —— e Of Indians and Carter to iron out some of the misunderstandings — that were arising. The story of that meeting, found in the North Carolina Colonial Records, makes interesting reading Best known part of Hagler’s speech is his attack on the liquor trade by the whites, often called North Carolina’s first prohibition speech. “Brothers,” he said, “hereis one thing you yourselves are to blame very much in, that is you rot your grain in tubs, out of which you take and make strong spirits. You sal itto our young men and give it to them many times. They get very drunk with it. This is the cause that they com- mit those crimes that is offen- sive to you and us.”’ One tradition has it that he spoke so feelingly because he had almost lost out in being chief when he had been on a big drunk at the crucial time. But the real strength of what he said was in his frank approach to the complaints of the settlers. The whites who were com- plaining came from Iredell or nearby. William Morrison told the commissioners that some of the Catawbas had come to his mill and tried to throw a pail of water into his meal trough, and a fight had almost ensued. Morrison and his brothers had moved onto Third Creek west of Statesville in 1751 and had al- ready established a grist mill when Bishop Spangenburg came through. Hagler ex- plained that it was all a mis understanding. His warriors had a custom of making a drink by mixing meal and water Others complained that the Catawbas had entered their homes and searched for food, threatening to stab anyone who would interfere with them. One of those was William McKnight. It is likely he lived up Third Creek from Morrison, near Stony Point. At least his descendants lived there. Others were James Crawford and William Young. Crawford lived on Third Creek in the Thyatira settlement east of Statesville and there were some Youngs living near him, not quite in — what became Iredell but al- most Again it was failure understand the customs of the other race. To the Indians it was a matter of life and death to find food while they were on a war party; and they did not want t shoot a gun fer their enemy to hear or: build a fire for him t see. Hagler could not see why the whites were churlish enough to hide their foods when barking dogs warned of ndians’ approach. The whites looked on such action as a crime Four or five years later it was the kind of mis- understanding that brought the Cherokee war parties over the white. settlements, after the Vir ginia whites had killed some of the braves who had borrowed some horses to go home on as they came back from Ft Duquesne. Hagler got the idea across to the Iredell settlers, and more trouble was averted The Catawbas had beén at war since long before the set- tlers began to move in. Their chief enemies were the Iroquois the Sale trom ¢ iv to the nort in rk.
