Nova Scotia has adopted the “drive to-the-right” rule of the road. There are only 193,881 veterans of the Civil War on the pension roll. | Mosul, the center of the rich Meso- I potamian oil fields, is 70 miles from a railroad. New York has passed a law prohib iting the scaling of skyscrapers by so called “human flies.” Prince Gelasio Caetani, Italian am bassador to the United States, was an Idaho miner 20 years ago. f ■< ' Secretary of Labor Davis was at one time an iron puddler employed in the rolling mills of Birmingham, Ala bama. In British New Guina has been dis covered a new metal, “Osmiridum,” which is said to have eight times the worth of gold. The students in the Berlin “Stud ents’ Home” are so poor that three have to share one suit of clothes and attend classes each in turn. Alaska has produced nearly half a billion dollars’ worth of minerals, and 97 percent of this has come from her deposits of gold, copper and silver. Among the famous inventions of the Chinese are the following: The com pass, printing, lithography, suspen sion bridges and gunpowder. Belgium is supporting 17,016 war orphans, of whom only 9,700 are the children of soldiers killed at the front, while 8,900 are the offspring of fath ers who as civilians were shot by Ger mans. Pulling trains day after day is very hard on locomotives. More than a fourth of the in the freight service are either in the “en gine hospital” or awaiting their turn to go there. A bottle consigned to the sea off the coast of Japan by the navy de partment of the Japanese government April 13, 921, was found on the shore of Tillamook, Oregon, not long ago. It is 4,700 miles from Oregon to Jap an in a direct line. One third of the earnings of the German husband must be given to the wife to maintain the family table. That is the German law. This one third income is not to meet wages of servants or rent but merely to cover the expense of keeping up the table. A United States marshal was taken ill with appendicitis while taking an Indian accused of murder from Fort Gibbon to Fairbanks, Alaska. The Indian prisoner placed the officer on the sled and mushed more than 100 miles with him to a hospital, where an operation was performed. During the calendar year 1922, there were 84 earthquakes strong enough to be felt by the unaided senses,, in various parts of continen tal United States. These earthquakes occurred chiefly in California and ir a section of the Central States. No fewer than 46,000 families are in Vienna without a place to live. They cannot rent even one room, be cause since 1913 not one house has been built in Vienna, which is now the poorest city in the world. In some cases four or five families live in one small room. A traveling court, consisting <of 25 sheriffs, a prosecuting attorney and a justice of the peace, has set a new precedent in law enforcement by set ting up a court at the scene of ar rest, in Clay county, Missouri. They travel into the hills where the judge sentences the bootleggers and owners of stills. A whistling buoy lost from the St. Lawrence river a year ago, has been washed ashore on one of the Scilly Islands, just off the southwest coast of England, 3,000 miles from its start ing point. The only injury was found to be confined to the gaslight case which had been wrenched from the top of the buoy. Under prseent conditions the timber supply of this country will be ex hausted in between 40 and 50 years, according to the chief forester of the Department of Agriculture: Pine tim ber is being cut eight and one-half times as fast as it is being replaced, while hardwood ,is being cut three and one-half times as fast. 4 If troubled with rats about * the chicken house, garage, bam or garden, fasten a length of hose on the end of the exhaust from your gasoline en gine—whether automobile or tractor— back the car up within reach of the rat burrow and adjust the carburetor for a rich mixture. Pack damp earth about the hose at the entrance to the hole to seal it and run the engine at a moderate speed for 10 minutes or more and-the rats will be destroyed. It might be tried successfully in de stroying rats beneath floors where a concentration of gas can be obtained. Federal Court in'Session. Federal court was in session in Ra leigh last week. One young man from Wake county, only 17 years of age, was sent to ’Atlanta for three years. It was his second offence.

Ed Cotton, an Apex negro, was fined SIOO for mak ing and selling whiskey. J. Loyd Cain was fined SSO and costs for making a small quantity of wine. The question has been asked, “can a person make wine on his own pre mises for his own use.” The Record does not know and leaves the question up to more wise people. 5 STRANGE AND CURIOUS. n! Peculiarities That Will Astonish Almost Anyone. Winston Salem is to give its school _ children books at cost. One hundred thousand eggs are pro f duced by a queen bee in one season. Whipping convicts in Florida and _ North Carolina is a thing of the past. i An 18-months-old child near Salis bury was drowned in a water trough. Two hams from the same hog were sold in Dunn that weighed 105 pounds. Mrs. Dorcas McNeill) of Broadway, l is 89 years old. Last fall she picked 100 pounds of cotton a day. I The city commissioners of Charlotte v are taking steps to prevent loss of . life in amusement houses. A policeman in Gastonia captured . 300 quarts of bottled in bond.liquor > and a Packard six the other day. B. F. Fry, of Cabarrus county, gave ■ a dinner last week.

A man in Robeson county using a smoky lantern on his car ran into an- ij L other car, damaging it considerably I I and broke a woman’s leg. 4 Three daughters of Mrs. Mary O’- >; ! Connor, of Mountain Lake Park, Ind., \ , were burned to death along with their ig ! mother when their home burned. \ The governor of Oklahoma, John !j C.

He is offering v $5 in gold to his tenants for the clean- [| est premises, and $5 for the first baby born after January 1, 1924. — $ ****************** « * HENDLEY’S COMMENTS * i * * J! j * Bits of Opinion Noted. * 4 ************ ****** Y GET THE MEN TOO. I Chatham county is building up an 4 unenviable reputation for blockading, 4 In the last session of Superior court 4 of this county about 40 percent of the 4 cases in which a verdict was reached |j were for violation of the prohibition 4 amendment and at the same time 4 Sheriff Blair is gaining a name as 4 a prohibition enforcement agent that 4 will strike terror into the hearts of x moonshiners. 4 What Chatham needs, what many 4 counties already have, is a specail of- % ficer, a Federal prohibition enforce- 4 ment agent and we would like to an- 4 nounce right here and now that in our 4 humble and inconsequential opinion 4 this same Sheriff Blair would fill that 4 position to perfection. A war on 4 moonshiners and bootleggers, a fear- 4 less and unrelenting war without quar- 4 ter, must be waged if the honor and 4 good name of the county is to be up- 4 held and the war should not stop with <4 the capture of a still once in a while, 4 but the operators should be taken x along with the stills, and unceasing 4 effort exerted until they have been 4 i convicted and sentenced. 4 Another thing that should be insist- 4 ed on in this county is that the mini- 4 mum of five dollars required by law 4 as a reward for the destruction of a 4 still should be given the men who fail $ to bring in the operators along with the still and the maximum of twenty dollars should not be paid to men un til they effect the capture of the men “f who operate the stills. If such a rul- 4 ing should be passed in this county 4 it would save the tax-payers a good 4 many dollars monthly for instead of 4 twenty dollars being paid out every 4 time a man goes out and destroys a X still, making little or no effort to take 4 the men who run it, they would re- f ceive the princely sum of five dollars X for that little episode and they would 4 be much keener to secure the capture 4 of the men who are making the stuff 4 if they knew that it meant fifteen dol- 4 lars more in their pockets. x ADMINISTRATOR’S NOTICE. f The undersigned having this day 4 qualified as administrator of + he es- 4 tate of Alvis Degraffenriedt, deceas- 4 ed, late of Chatham county, this is to * notify all persons holding claims against the said estate to present the S same to the undesigned on or 'before || the 24th day of May, 1924, or this no- *i tiie will be plead in bar of their re- y covery.
