Mr. R.F. Beasley, who for the past four years has served the state as commissioner of public welfare, has tendered his resignation, effective at once, and will go to Texas, where he will engage in the oil buisness, having accepted an executive position with the International Petroleum company, says the Greensboro News. This fact was announced Thursday afternoon upon the adjournment of a called meeting of the state board of charities and public welfare. The meeting, which was attended by the full membership of the board, was held at the home of Mr. A.W. McAllister and followed a luncheon given by Mr. and Mrs. McAllister. The board accepted the resignation with great regret and with warmest expressions of appreciation for this services to the cause and to the state.
No successor was named, but a committee, composed of Wm. A. Blair, chairman of the board, A.W. McAlister, Carey J. Hunter and Mrs. T.L. Lingle, was appointed to secure a commissioner. Another meeting of the board is to be held in Raleigh in about 10 days, after the committee shall have had time to find a commissioner. In the meantime Carey J. Hunter will be in charge of the work as acting commissioner. It is understood that he has already a good man in mind.
From the Monroe Journal, Friday, March 18, 1921. (The article also spells McAllister as McAlister; I don’t know which is correct.)
