Mr. Dorsett Writes Interesting Let
j ter From Florida.
Mr. Editor:—-Since writing you I
have visited several places of histor
ical interest. I observe that all along
the Atlantic Beach, wherever there
was suitable conditions for the land
ing of ocean going vessels, are re
mains of military torts built by the
Spanish settlers, for their protection
Irom possible enemies. Some of these
walls are still in a good state of pres
ervation and show that these people
were well up jin the arts of masonry
and military/ engineering. However,
at that time, if history serves us cor-
the Spanish nation was one of
- the!ending powers of the world, both
on land and on sea. I have also vis
ited the old Spansh Mission which is
about two miles west of this place,
which is also a rather historical spot.
The walls of this old building are
said to be nearly .four hundred years
old and are now in a pretty good state
of preservation, and likely to stand
four hundred years more if not un
dermined Fy an earth quake or some
other unnatural, disturbance.
It would seem that some Christian
Society, (possibly the Catholics) of
the old country, came over and es
tablished this mission for the benefit
of the early settlers. Whilst gazing at
tlfese old walls, we could but think of
the number of generations of the hu
man family that have passed away
since that time and the very shortness
of life as compared with the eternal
Sges that are passing away* All of
the evidence obtainable, points to the
fact that the whole of the peninsula
of Florida was once coVered by the •
Atlantic ocean. The entire earth’s |
surface here is underland with coral
and sea fossils which shows most
conclusively that these lands were
once covered by the great sea. As to
the time when such was the condition,
no human mind can possibly compre
hend. But judging from the very slow
process which the waters of the ocean
are now receding from pur shores,Tt
must have been many thousands of
years ago, as no one pretends to know
anything about the age of the planet
on which we live. Since that time,
however, there has ' been sufficient;
time for the accumulation of several
feet of earth and consequent vegeta
tion on top of this deposit by the
ocean.
Nearly all kinds of tropical vege
tation thrives here, embracing-, or
anges, grape fruit, bananas and all
kinds of early garden vegetables.
The climate is especially fine through
out the winter season, running most
of the time from 40 to 70 degrees
Farenheight, although during the re
cent cold spell the temperature did
fall here to 34 degrees. Thousands ■
of people from the states further j
north are living here through the win
ter season, which makes it a verit- j
able paradise for the merchants and
hotels and other business interests of.
the country.
We have several churches in this;
town. Baptist, Methodist, Presbyter
ian,, Episcopalian, Congregationalist,
Christian Scientist, Adventist and al
so the ; A. M. E; all of which I sup
pose have some good, self-sacrificing
members, a
However, I imagine that it must re
quire great strength of heart and
mind to live the pure Christian life
here where there is so much to_ de
tract from the BiNe standards of
Christian living. And yet we. observe
that in spite of the crookedness and
hypocrisy of men, and all of the rpt
and fraud gotten up by the devil,
that there is yet enough of God’s peo
ple to hold up the Cross of Christ
and to keep the fires burning so that
the world may yet be brought under
the Christian banner as it seems He
intended it, before the end of time.

bung Johnson Meets Tragic Ending
On Siler City Road.
Carey Johnson, son of Henry John
son of Hickory Mt. is dead. An acci
dent near the four mile post to Siler
City early Wednesday resulted in his
death. The young man was driving at
a reckless rate of speed, it is said,
and struck the car of Mr. Lonnie
Cooper, of Bynum, turning 'his car
over and pinning himself tifhderaeath
it, the wind shield falling across his
leek, death .following in a' few min
utes, presumably front a broken neck.
The unfortunate young? man was
drinking and had a, collision with the
car of Ralph Spence just a short time
before meeting Mr. Cooper. The car
of Mr. Spence was not damaged so
much, but the one driven by Mr.
was badly wrecked. The car
of Mr. Johnson is practically a to
tal wreck.
Mr. Johnson was about 35 years of
age and leaves a wife and four lit
tle children. Mrs. Johnson is a
daughter of *Mr. Lee Perry of Silk
Hope. 4 - ’ . '
This is perhaps one of -the saddest
deaths in a manner that has occurred
in Chatham in a long while. A fam
ily of little children, left and a de
voted wife to mourn the tragic ending
of a husband and father just in the
prime of manhood.
In the demolished car was found
vessels containing whiskey. This fact,
and the death of Mr. Johnson should
be a glaring Sermon to those who
would tread the paths of wrong-do
ing.
The Record has the tenderest feel
ing for the unfortunate occurrence,
and would to God it were in our
power to blot out the liquor traffic in
a twinkling of an eye in Chatham
county if.no where else.
THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT.
Henry Durbin Strikes a Sypathetic
Opinion With Us.
Every day in every way, Bennett is
getting bigger and better. In the mat
ter of population in Chatham towns
only Siler City has a few more than
Bennett, for long since, we feel
sure, Bennett got Goldston’s goat
and has been leading it around with
a long tow string. And we are also
politically getting our bristles up, not
in anger, but in determination to have
our *&hare-drr officering |J LWB*
Bennett is deeply imbued with the
idea that this government was found
ed upon short term rotation in office.
We believe our friends should go out
of office before they go to pieces. Too
many stay in too long, as we all
know, and some go out unrespected
leaving each supporter wishing he
hadn’t done it. This section should be
aepresented on the county ticket at
the next election and the most talked
of man now is W. C. Brewer for sher
iff. Not that we have anything against
sheriff Blair. _
If sheriff Blair has ap enemy in or
about Bennett such is unknown to
the writer We are acting on the be-
Jief that “short settlements make
long friends,” and that short terms in
office are apt’to give the people bet
ter service. That is the belief here.
