THURSDAY. June 23, 1004. Local Records! The days are now the longest of the year. Only a few more days in which to list your taxables. One of the best stocks of shoes in the county can be found at Bynurn & Headen's. All of the straw hats at By num & Headen's are going at greatly reducced prices. Bynuin & Headen sell the Peering mowers and rakes, the lightest draft machine made. A McCormick wheat harvest er, good as new, for sale cheap. Apply to E. M. Fearrington, Riggsbee P. O. Our enterprising neighbors at Siler City will have a grand Fourth of July celebration this year, as has been their custom for several years. The "Meteor's" career was brief if not brilliant. After only two issaes it suspended, just as has been the fate of so many oth er Chatham journalistic ventures. Mrs. B. N. Mann has present ed to the Winnie Davis Chapter of the Daughters of the Confed eracy a very neat gavel made from wood cut on the battlefield of JSaven Pines, near Richmond. The 'Sauctiftcationists" prea ched last Sunday in the covered I bridge across liaw river at By num. They could not get any place near there on which to erect their tent, and so they oc cupied the county bridge. Have you bought you a suit of clothes this season? If not, go to W. L. London & Son's and they can sell you a nice suit for a little mone3T. If 37ou need an extra pair of pants they can fit you and sell you a pair yery cheap. The ladies of this place, be longing to the Order of the East ern Star, were most interestingly entertained last Thursday night by Mrs. Laura Hart, of San Au tonia, Texas, after which delight ful refreshments .were served.

One pro ject is to start the- canal from the Bay of Acre, lead it southward past Mount Tabor and let it join at jjaison the waters of the Jor dan. Another plan is to build the canal along the railway line from J affa to Jerusalem. But this would mean blasting a tunnel of some 37 miles through the: mountains of Old Judea. The third project, the cheapest, 'proposes ;1oc start at Akaba in the' lied Sea and pass turough the desert of - wady-el- Japel.

All applicants for tensions uiuab ue iiuseuu n auie to travel. If not able to come they must send a doctor' certifi cate to that effect. No person now on the pension list need come or send any application. A crazy colored woman, nam ed Judy Alston, was carried to the insane asylum at Goldsboro on last Monday. This makes seven crazy colored people sent this year from Chatham to the asylum. In sanity seems to have become an epidemic among the colored peo ple. During slave days insanity was quite rare. We are pleased to hear favor able reports from the wheat crop, nearly all of which has now been harvested. It is much better than last year, some farmers say that their crop is better this year than in several years past. . We suppose the Republicans will give the credit of it to Roosevelt and a high protective tariff! The trustees of the Pittsboro Academy held their annual meet ing on last Saturday and re-elected Capt. W. L.London as chairman and Ir. A. J. Bynum secretary and treasurer. They also elected Mr. H. M. London principal of the academy for the next twelve months and recommended Mrs. Mattie Thompson as assistant. The town constable desires the attention of owners of cows to be called to one of the town ordi nances forbidding the "hitching of cows on or nearside-walks where by the safe and undisturbed pas sage of any person may be ob structed." He says that this nuisance has lately become very noticeable and that hereafter vip laters of the above ordinance will be promptly arrested. We are in receipt of The Bingham School. catalogue for its 111th year, the best year financial ly in its history. We note that besides its North Carolina con tingents it has attracted more than one hundred and forty pu pils from outside the State, rep resenting an area which reaches fiom Conn, and Neb., through Florida Texas, Mexico City andl leh ami tepee, to British Hondu-I ras and - 4.1m t i. io 1 , ..i uuic u.iau tuav iv io refusing pupils instead of in creasing its accommodations. This famous school was first estab lished at Pittsboro in 17P3 by the grandfather of the present proprietor. Dr. Sanford Dead- The mauy friends of Rev. Dr. J. Sanford. will be shocked to hear of his sudden death at Siler City on last Sunday. He had seemed to be in his us ual health and went to church to hold his regular services. After the usual prayers and singing he announced the text for his sermon, and he had hardly uttered the words when he was stricken with paralysis and died in a few min utes. He died literally in the harness and fell at his post of duty.- A more glorions death he could not have wished. Without pain and suffering he gently "fell on sleep," and though the summons came so suddenly yet he was found ready. ... .- .i Our Senators. August The next senators from this (the 22nd) semvtorial district will be Capt. W. I. Everett, of Rich mond county, and Mr. Hector McLean, of Scotland county. They have been recommended by their respective counties, and Chatham and Moore have instructed their delegates to vote for the candi dates named by those counties. They are both farmers, Capt. Everett being one of the largest farmers in the State, if not the largest, with the exception of Gen. Rauson. They are both men of the highest character and strictest integrity, and both are strict temperance advocates. Our district will be most worthily rep resented by them. . - - - Onr New Railroad. The first meeting of the direc tors of the New Hope Valley Railroad Company was held at this place on last Tuesday and the organization of the company was perfected. The following officers were elected: William Moncure, president and manager; H. A. London, vice-pr sident, and T. B. Cowper secretary and treasurer. The grading of the proposed road will begin as soon as the route is located, which will be the last of July. Work will be pushed vigorously and it is expected to have several miles constructed and in operation by next January.. The public spirited citizens of Durham have become much inter ested in the proposed New Hope Valley railroad, and they are anx ious to have it extended to their progressive town. On last Friday night the Chamber of Commerce at Durham held a special meeting for the purpose of considering the exten sion of the proposed road to that town. A letter was read from the editor of The Record on the sub ject, and, after several speeches in favor of the road, a committee of Durham's most prominent busi ness men was appointed to bring1 the matter before the officials .of the company. The object of our Durham neighbors is to get the proposed road to their town so as to put Durham on the main line of the Seaboard Air-Line. A branch of the S. A. L. now runs from Hen dersonto Durham,and by building a road "from Durham to the north ern tei-minus of the New Hope Valley railroad that town will be on a through north and south line several miles shorter than the present S. A. L. main line by Raleigh. Struck By Lightning. Lockville, N. C, June 20, 1904. Editor Record: Last Saturday night we had quite a severe thunder and rain storm.

Rev enue officers returned to this city yesterday from a raid over in Le banon township,, this county. The officers reached-the site of the moonshine s plant about 4:30 o'clock, Saturday afternoon, but found that the still, apparently of about 150 gallon capacity, had been "pulled" by the owner and corried away. The beer stands were captured, however, and twen ty stands, consisting of some 2,500 gallons of beer, were cut down. Near the site of the still the offi cers found five barrels of corn whiskey and cue ten gallon run let. The agents for Uncle Sam attempted to hire a horse and wagon and the people living in that section would not let them have a team for love or money. 1-1 T.

Littleton Female College. Littleton Female College, an advertisement of which appears elsewhere in this paper, has just closed its 22ud Annual Session which in every way has been the most prosperous in the history of the institution. With a Faculty of twenty-two officers and teach ers and a well equipped and fur nished building, this school is prepared to offer excellent advan tages to young ladies seeking a collegiate education. The insti tution has very recently installed, at a cost of several thousand dol lars, a new system of plumbing and water works, including bath and toilet rooms, with hot and cold water on every floor, furnish ed from a 12000 gallon tank on a steel tower 75 feet high, Tvith am ple iipe all around the building, and two -inch hose on every floor within, for use in case of fire. The health record of Littleton College has been a remarkable one. The physical condition of the pupil is looked after with great care; there is seldom a case of serious sickness in the building, and dur ing its entire career of 22 years the school has had only one death among its pupils. There is prob ably no other school in the South with so large a patronage that has such a record. - RFPORT OF THE CONDITION OF THE AKK OF f ITTSOOBO, AT PITTSBORO, IN THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA..
