VPuZ Chatham i&jcorti INDEPENDENT IN POLITICS. Established in 1878 by H. A. London. Entered at Pittsboro, N.C., as Second Class mail matter by act of Congress. SUBSCRIPTION: One Year, $1.50. Six Months, T .75 Colin G. Shaw, Owner and Editor. Chas. A. Brown, Associate Editor. Advertising, display, 25c. Inch Net. FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1923. WHY NOT BE PROUD OF THEM. “The article in your paper January 3, 1923, “what illicit liquor will do,” is worth a thousand times the sub scription price of the paper. Judge Cranmer leading in our last election shows very clearly what the good peo ple of North Carolina are thinking about.” The above is an extract from a let ter we have received from Mr. Isaac H. Dunlap, Bonlee, N. C. In another column will be found extracts from a letter received from Samuel T. Dor sett in Washington, D. C. We are purely proud of the senti ment expressed in both these letters, as well as many others, many of whom ask that they” be not published. We want to do something to put a stop to this illegal traffic in liquor and the harm and sin that emanates from its use. We do and say all we can week in and week out, but many times our hopes are blasted. These good letters gives us strength for the fight, and we want all who will to give us the moral support nec essary to “carry on.” Not necessar ily to us, but in your own neighbor hood. Put your shoulder to the wheel, or “scotch” for the man who is push ing. We must free Chatham from the evil influences of moonshine whisky or there will be no peace in living in a few more years. Let’s go. TO PRESS ASSOCIATION. This week we leave for the Press Association, where someone that did not know facts, has put the editor of the Record and Herald on the pro gram for a “lead'’ in a discussion. It is no use talking, we must do our best and we hope to be there Thursday and Friday. If you get your paper late and scarce of news next week, just forget it and we will make up for it later on Rabbits out in Kansas are growing four-inch horns. It is remarkable how things do happen in Kansas and Chat ham county. The editor had a birthday on the 4th day of this month. He was sweet 16 more or less, and did not receive the 1,000 new subscribers that he asked for in November, but came pret ty close to it. Because of prohibition, hair tonic is now used more than ever. A United States Senate waiter dropped a bottle of liquor and o J course it broke. It was none of the -— — —- - The Harnett County News, pub lished at Lillirgton, one of our fa vorite exchanges, has passed its full four years and is now “going on” five. We congratulate our friend Herman Steele. We would like to make a speech to the people of Harnett and tell them to go to The News office in droves and give the editor the finan cial support he deserves. Not many smal ltowns have as good paper as Steele is giving Lillington This is a curious world. People are never satisfied—that is, some people. They are forever trying to stir up some new fad. The latest is capital punishment. It looks to us that if murderers, rapists and the midnigmt burglar are stopped being electrocuted there will be more crimes than ever, because a man will not hesitate go ing to the penitentiary for life. If the biil which has ben introduced in the legislature becomes a law, then look out for Judge Lynch and his court of last resort. NEWS FROM MOUNT GILEAD.

I [ I This volume of deliveries to actual owners is entirely unprecedent- H ed for this time of the year— * ft It has taxed the manufacturing ability of the Ford Plant working at full capacity— jjt I It indicates a volume of business during the rapidly approaching months of “heavy demand” which will be far beyond the maxi mum production schedule which the Ford Motor Company has set- And that means a Ford shortage even more acute than the one which existed last Spring and summer. Dealer’s stocks all over the country are low—there are no reserves to draw upon to meet the demands for delivery— l P I There is no way in which dealer reserves can be built up, as deliv eries have been made to customers as fast as Cars could be manu factured since last April. The only way you can protect your desire to obtain prompt deliv ery of a Ford even at this time is to place your order immediately. THIS EMPHASIZES MORE STRONGLY THAN ANYTHING 1 WE COULD POSSIBLY SAY, THE NECESSITY OF YOUR I MAKING PROMPT ARRANGEMENTS WITH A FORD DEALER FOR THE LISTING OF YOUR ORDER, PARTIC r ULARLY IF YOU ARE CONTEMPLATING THE PUR CHASE OF A FORD CAR OR TRUCK FOR USE THIS SPRING OR SUMMER. ; 1 i We believe you are entitled to know these facts as they actually exist. ii : fj i ii ' . ii 1 .
