By Rambler. “Watermelons have made their ap pearance, ’’ remarked a citizen. “New look out for chills and doctor bills. I don’t know how she does it, or where she puts them, but my wife can eat more melons in one day and I am not stopping at one, than any nigger in North Carolina. She’ll take the half of a 40-pound melon and a little salt and in five minutes it’s gone. Fifteen minutes later the other half has dis appeared. Half an hour later is ready for another. If there’s as many as a half dozen around the house they all disappear before night. She beats . all.” “I don’t know which is the happiest, a woman with a baby learning to walk, or a nigger boy with half a watermelon,” remarked a citizen Sunday. “It is amusing to Kvatch both, the mother in particular. You’ll hear her talk something like this to the tot: ‘Turn to yer mudder. Yes, sweetest man in town.’ and a whole lot more baby talk like this, on ly worse. And you’d enjoy watching the little nigger eating his melon. With nothing to see but the whites of his eyes as he sends his mouth down ward into the meat, he is the very es sence of happiness, and there’s noth ing on earth that would please him any better. Watch another little nig ger standing by, water dripping from his mouth. “Gimme piece dat rine,” he asks. “Go ’way, nigger, dar ain’t gwine be no rine.’ It’s certainly amus ing to listen to the mother and the ba by and watch the negro with the me lon.” “I was over in Durham the other day,” remarked a Pittsboro man, “and I saw a friend, Jim Wrenn, across the street. He was gazing up at one I of those tall buildings like some Chat ham county citizens do when they go to a large city. While Mr. Wrenn was standing there I noticed a dazzl ing dressed young lady coming down the street. She was leading some 1 thing th.ic had four legs and not much ] body and looked like a dog. The lady < stopped near Mr. Wrenn and began to ' gaze in a window as women will do. J The dog went up to Mr. Wrenn and < looked up into his face as much as to J say: “Who are you.” Just then Mr. < Mr. Wrenn looked down and saw the < dog with one of his hind legs hoisted. \ Mr. Wrenn moved away. “Oh, he will not kick you,” said the lady. “I know it,” said Mr. Wrenn, “I thought ' the dog might break his leg, the way he had it crooked and I did not wish to see him do it.” “The biggest liar in Pittsboro,” said a gentleman from Bynum Saturday, “is that fellow Rambler who writes tor the Record.” “You are mistaken” remarked a friend of Rambler. “We have a long whiskered man here that can discount him. He told a tale or story the other day that beats Ram bler all to pieces. He said when he drew all the fcvater from his well that a well across town Xvent dry. And that if that well was drawn off his well went dry. He said further that when he was a young man he met a bear in the orad in Center township. Bears were pelntiful around here then, he said. He could find no rock to throw at the bear, had no gun. nor knife and as the bear went to hug him, the bear’s mouth wide open, looking like he Iwas laughing, this great prevaricator said he ran his hand into the bear’s mouth and grab bed him by the tail and actually turn ed him wrong side outwards. The bear went one way and he went the other. You know that’s a lie, because there are enough rocks in Center township to build a wall ten feet high around Chatham county.” “Well,” said the Bynum man, “You are somewhat of a liar yourself, ail’t you?” TRAP WEEVILS WITH KEROSENE Forest City, Ark., July 21. —Work- ing on the theory that the cotton boll weevil is a “little” kin to the moth, Phil Hickey, manager of a cotton oil mill, is pests in the com pany’s fields. At intervals in the cotton field, Mr. Hickey places each night a burning torch close by a pan of kerosene. Un able to resist the lure of the flame Mr. Hickey asserts, the weevil flies to the light, is blinded and falls into the lethal fluid. The experimenter declares he finds this method inexpensive and hopes ,hat time will prove its efficiency in •idcling the country of the insect nlague. In the field each morning he finds a numerous “catch” although employing only one torch and trap in each three to five acre tracts.
