OBSERVATIONS.
By Rambler.
i A few years ago people who went to
Sunday school or church footed it
there. These days of automobiles peo
ple don’t or won’t go to church unless
; they ride in a car.
I People living in small country tpwns
have much cuoiosity. A sign painter
passed through Pittsboro a few days
’ ago and did several jobs of painting
on the windows of different stores. In
two minutes after he commenced to
paint he had a big crowd to watch him
; —all through curiosity.
Pittsboro has something now to kill
time over. A contractor is moving
the old Headen building, which is be
ing moved down the street a short dis
tance, and every man or woman pass
ing that way stops, looks and listens
at the creaking of the big structure.
A few years ago all kinds of scrub
cattle passed through Pittsboro head
ed for Raleigh, and up to a year ago
this continued. But of recent date the
western part of the county must have
been cleaned out of the scrub stock
and improved cattle have taken the
place of these scrubs. Raleigh and
Durham will have to look elsewhere
for their beef.
A few years ago any old thing was
srood enough for this old man’s town.
But now things are changing. The
people are changing, the houses be
ing built are changing, the stores are
changing, and all for the better. El
ectricity has taken the place of kero- 1
sene and our people are becoming
more modem.
Cedar logs are being hauled into
town daily. Where they come from
the Lord only knows. A few years
ago thousands of cedar logs and lum
ber was hauled here and it looked as
if the woods were then cleaned up,
but the cleaning process still contin
ues. The cutting out of cedar trees
around this section is causing Pitts
boro to grow. Cedars bring bad luck.

WHAT PRESIDENT HAS AND
HASN’T.
The Raleigh Times, March 13.
We are indebted to Capper’s Week
ly for an answer to the question:
“What does the president get?” Cap
, per’s summarizes as follows:
Salary of $75,000 a year.
Finest home in the land, rent free.
Furnishings and maintenance of
home. Private art gallery and histor
ic library.
Twenty five thousand dollars ' for
travel expenses.
Flock of finest automobiles and pri
vate yacht.
Private detective force and force of
50 policemen.
Scores of greenhouses to provide
plants and flowers for his home.
Best brass band in the world and
a flag that no one else may use.
Numerous secretaries, a personal
physician and naval and military
aids. *
Finest silver and china ware and
linens and chamber furnishings and
draperies.
Privilege to fill his larder at the
army and navy commissary, taking
advantage of the reduced prices.
Service of dentists, physicians, tail

able gifts from people here and from
all parts of the world.
Barbers, gardeners, a clipping bu
reau, a private pew in church, private
box in theater, private room in capi
tol, and private room at the Union
Station.
All of which is interesting, some of
which is inviting; but have you
; thought of some of the things the
president doesn’t get?
It isn’t permitted him to sit on his
front porch Sunday afternoon in his
stocking feet and read about the
North Carolina Legislature.
The White House cook doesn’t know
how to cook collards.
He can’t stand on the street corner
and cuss Congress whenever he feels
like it.
He never attended one of Rockey
Hester’s barbecues in his life.
He is never allowed to forget that
he has a reputation to sustain and he
; s never out of sight of somebody
with an appetite for shoe polish.
He is denied the privilege of hav
ing a friend drop in to tell him that
he has made a fool of himself.
Nobody ever asks him to sign a
Morris plan note.
