Johnson has com menced taking out the mail over the new route between Durham and Siler City making his first trip last Monday It is about 46 miles between the two towns and he has to make a round trip daily, the distance being 92 miles. Besides the mail, Mr. Johnson will also haul passengers. We do not know what the fare will be between the two points but jitney lines now running between Pittsboro and Dur ham charge $1.35. The postoffice at Evans will be dis continued and Mr. Jos. Moore, who carries the mail on route 2 had his route extended about four miles, tak ing in the old postoffice at Evans. Mr. J. F. Jones, who had the con tract for carrying the mail between Siler City and Pittsboro, and who has been working for Uncle Sam for about a year was succeeded by Mr. Johnson. Mr. Jones has been en effi cient mail carrier and our people hate to see him have to step down and out but the new mail route gives the peo ple of this section better and quicker mail service. Mr. Z. C. Clark, of Bynum, also los es out. He has been carrying the mail between Bynum and Pittsboro for the past two or three years, but this route has been discontinued and the mail will be handled by Mr. C. E. Bryan, carrier on route 1 from Pitts and Mr. Johnson. Riggsbee, another postoffice between Bynum and Chapel Hill, will also be taken acre of by Mr. Johnson, the star carrier on the route between those points, having been discontinued and in future will be filled by Mr. Jhonson as it is on the line between Durham and Siler City. In the future mail will be received from Durham and the east and Greensboro and the west about two hours earlier than heretofore. In oth er words, the Greensboro Daily News has been reaching the Pittsboro post office at 10 a. m. and the Raleigh News and Observer at 11:30. In the future we will get these papers about 8 a. m. Later on this section may get a double daily mail from these points which would be a great benefit to our people. ADD NEW MAIL SERVICE D This service means much to Chat ham county and honor should be giv en for the establishment of the route. Mr. J. S. Wren was the first man to ~Jart the move and he stuck by it to te very last. It was an up hill fight to get it until it was finally put in the hands of Mr. L. T. Yarborough, a pos tal inspector and he readily saw the necessity for the improved service and rendered valuable aid in securing the route. Mr. Yarborough is a thorough painstaking employee and Pittsboro as well as the whole of Chatham county feel under obligations to him for the good he has done us. There is hope now of establishing a new route from Pittsboro to Mann dale section, giving the residents of that section an every day mail, and all those interested should call at The Record office and help in the arrange ment for the securing of the service.

It is said liquor and gasoline will not mix, but it mixed up a crowd of negroes last Sundav afternoon about midway between Pittsboro and By num just beyond the Powell farm. It seems that there were seven ne groes in the car on its way to Bynum and as thev turned a curve in the road the car left the road and started down an embankment, spilling the darkies right and left. It is thought he car turned over once or twice, as it was running to its full capacity, the wheels ; being on top when it stopped. The Ford was a complete wreck. It ran 60 feet from where it left the road. Os the seven negroes in the car at the time four of them were good and drunk, the other three being sober. All f them were more or less shook up, but Grady Horton, one of the 7, was dangerously hurt, his lung being punctured, and it is thought by Dr. W. B. Chapin, who attended wound man, that he has but a slim chance to live, traumatic pneumonia having alreadv set in. Sheriff Blair went out and arrested the driver. Cam Burnett, and brought him to Pittsboro where he was given a preliminary trial. He gave bond and was released. AH of these darkeys live over in the Bynum section. FIRST BALE SOLD.

Within the next two weeks the movement from the Rio Grande Val iev is expected to be well under wav. The crop in that section is especially good and production there probably will exceed that of any prevoius sea son. The outlook in other sections of Texas also is excellent and predictions are made that the State output will exceed 4,000,000 bales. ABOUT THE CHAUTAUQUA Newsy Letter From Corinth and Com munity. Corinth, July 2.—Mr. A. A. Rollins, N. and S. agent at Corinth, has been transferred to Duncan. This position carries greater responsibility and is a promotion for Mr. Rollins. He is moving his family there today. The community is sorry to lose Mr. and Mrs. Rollins but Duncan is not far away and we will have them back with us occasionally. Incidentally the correspondent will have to break in some one else to be the goat for his weekly joke unless we lay them all on our good friend, J. D. Mclver. Mrs. W. A. Allen is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Clark. Mrs. N. G. Avent, of Southern Pines is visiting her mother, Mrs. Catherine Mclver, of Corinth.

In the meantime let j every one talk it to his friends and u acquaintances and get more of our god people interested and then get them to this meeting. This is quite a big thing to tackle and put over successfully but we rely upon the fact . that the people of this community I have already formed the habit of { making their undertakings a success. , We very much regret the sad acci . dent that happened at Buckhom last ? Wednesday when Walter Harris of Pittsboro, was drowned. This is the r second time that citizens of our com ? munity have met death while fishing in this treacherous place in the past ’ 5 years. The botton of this channel ’ is rough, filled and crossed up with old stumps, ditches and deep sub ! merged channels and is dangerous. ’ Surely this deplorable accident will ; serve to warn all others to never for any reason venture beyond their depth while fishing here. Messrs. Clark Hughes, Jack Kulp and Buck Lemons, all of Sanford, vis , ited friends in Corinth Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Nash spent the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Ste wart, at Blewett Falls.
