Record can spare the room for it,)
2 a very interesting talk before
the dinner hour, which was listened
’ very attentively by the large au
dence of ladies and gentlemen.
Whether they enjoyed the speech of
Mr. Blalock or not, for thinking of
that big dinner, we do not know, but
they sat and listened attentively for
over an hour. .
The big dinner was served m the
rear of the courthouse on a long table
that accommodated 300 or more peo
ple The dinner was followed by a
water melon feast and from the looks
of the rinds left it appeared that
there were some close melon eaters..
After dinner a small audience lis
tened to an address by Miss Nor?
Brafford, home demonstration agent,
of Carthage. Then there was more
singing.
Then the real treat of the day was
experienced when the F.A.D.S quart
ette, of Corinth, sang for the audience.
This quartette that gets its cognomen
from a suggestion by Frank Nash, is
composed of the initials of the men
composing it—Fuquay, Ashworth,
Doans and Sexton, ihev have been
at Pittsboro and to audiences in Chat
ham county many times, are always
highly appreciated.
After this the Fourth Annual Chat
ham Farmers’ Picnic came to a close.
About four o’clock in the afternoon
many of the visitors went to the base
ball game and enjoyed the struggle
between Pittsboro and the Raleigh
Elks teams.

PITTSBORO HIGH SCHOOL.
Probably Get Into Their New Building
By October First.
The Pittsboho high school building
is slowly approaching completion.
Nearly all the brick work is finished,
the rafters are being put up and the
covering will be completed by Septem
ber. Some of the rooms have been
lathed and are ready for the plaster.
On account of unavoidable delays that
always accompany a building of this
kind, the work has not progresed as
those interested wish, but when it is
finished and the grounds put in shape,
the high school will have one of the
most convenient buildings in the coun
ty.
Phof. E. R. Franklin tells the Rec
ord that he hopes to open school by
the middle of September, but it may
be the first of October. It was thought
at one time that other buildings would
be procured and the school would be
opened on schedule time, September
4th, but that idea has been abandoned.
The following are the teachers for
the fall and spring sessoin:
Prof. E. R. Franklin, principal.
J. G. Matthews, of Raeford, science
and athletics.
Miss Lossie Stone, Wake county,
English.
Miss Blanche Lindley, Alamance
county, sixth and seventh grades.
Mrs. Marcus E. Stone, Wake coun
ty, eighth grade. Miss Stone has sent
in her resignation since her selection
and her place will be filled later.
Miss Annie Elizabeth Brown, Yan
ceyville, fourth grade.
Miss Belle Rawls, Laurinburg, sec
ond grade and third grade.
Miss Burwell Patterson, Littleton,
first grade.
DEATH MRS. SARAH A. TYSOR.
Whitsett, Aug. 17.—Mrs. Sarah A.
Tysor, aged 86 years and 10 months
died at her home here Wednesday
and was buried yesterday in Bethel
cemetery. She was the oldest person
in the community, and for some years
had been unable to leave her room
except at rare intervals on account
of the infirmities of old age.
She was a native of Chatham coun
ty, and made her home there in early
life, moving to Guilford county about
15 years ago. For the past three years
she had made her home here. Her
husband, the late Henry Tysor died
some years ago, and she has since
that time made her home with her
only son, Charles D. Tysor with whom
she lived at the time of her death.
Mrs. Tysor in early life conrected
herself with the Methodist church,
south, and remained for 50 years a
faithful member of that church which
she loved dearly. When able to do so
she was always delighted to attend
church services, and was liberal in
her support of the work of the church.
She was a quiet, faithful woman, and
much loved by all who knew her. At
the time of her death she was the
oldest member of the Whitsett Meth
odist church, and the funeral services
were conducted by her pastor, Rev.
George W. Clay assisted by Rev. G.L.
Whiteley, of the Springwood church.
The large gathering of friends and
church workers, and the beautiful
floral offerings attested the esteem
in which she was held.
SILER CITY LOCALS.
Siler City, Aug. 18.—Recent guests
of Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Teague on Sil
er City Rt. 3, were Mr. and Mrs. R.
M. Edwards, of Danville, and E. B.
Fowler and family, of Greensboro.
Mrs. W. G. Waugh, of Greensboro,
is visiting Mrs. W. B. Straughan.
Friends of Elvin Beane were pleas
ed to see him here again this week
after an absence of several months.
Mrs. Junius Wren gave a c'°light
ful party to a number of t'ne vTie lit
tle folks Tuesday morning, compli
mentary to James and June Parker
Wren.
C. L. Brower attended the Retail
Merchants Association in Richmond
this iweek.
Misses Bessye Caviness and Beulah
Headen spent the week in Baltimore
and Philadelphia, purchasing goods
and looking after the interests of the
millinery and ready-to-wear store of
Miss Caviness.
ROCK SPRING MEETING CLOSES.
We attended the closing service of
the protracted meeting at Rock Spring
Baptist church last Sunday afternoon
and heard a powerful sermon by the
Rev. H. F. Brinson, of East Durham.* '
At the close of the sermon two young
ladies joined the church, making a
total of six to unite with the church
during the week.
After the benediction, the congrega- i
tion assembled on the banks of Haw |
River, where the pastor Rev. C. R !
; Cox, baptized the. new members. It
j was an impressive ceremony.
Rev. Mr. Brinson is a forceful
positive, plain speaker and a good man.
! He has accomplished much good in
the community and made many friends
around Bynum during his short stay
in Chatham county.
ANOTHER MEAN ACT.
A stranger with a passenger, who
were passing.through this section last
week, had bad luck between Pittsboro
and Bynum. For some cause his car
stopped and refused to budge. Neither
of the occupants knew how to fix it
j and had to leave the car on the road
side over night. Next morning when
they returned with help some one had
been there and robbed the car of its
tires and other articles about the ma
i chine. It was a brand car.

meeting will be continued for 4

A BIG DAY OF PRAISE AND JOY.
Multitude of People at New Elam
Christian Church Sunday.
Early last Sunday morning the ed
itor of the Record hied himself to the
Singing Rally at New Elam Christian
church, and remained until the dinner
hour and there never was an occasion
of greater delight and inspiration.
There were three choirs there, oth
ers having failed to be present for
one reason or another. One choir was
prevented from being present on ac
count of the death of a member of
their church and the three there was
that of the local church, Zion choir
from Lee county and Ebenezer Meth
odist church. All three of the choirs
had as leaders members of the Mann
family; Ebenezer being led by Mar
shall Mann, Zion by Dave Mann and
the New Elam choir by A. G. Mann.
It was therefore designated by some
as the “Mann Rally.”
Familiar songs of an inspiring na
ture was rendered by the choirs indi
vidually and then there would come a
song collectively, the whole congrega
tion joining in on the chorus. No one
who has never attended one of these
rallies can fully appreciate the genuine
pleasure and wholesome inspiration to
be received under its influence.
Had this singing been in the form
of a contest, and the editor had been
chosen as a judge to announce the
singers of quality, he would have been
nonplussed and would have voted all
of them superior.
The meeting was opened by a song
by the entire asemblage, singing
“Nearer My God to Thee,” and no
song was ever more beautiful.
The superintendent, Mr. W. A.
Drake read the scripture lesson of song
and praise, selecting the psalm of
King David, and during the morning
session the pastor, Rev. B. J. Howard,
Chapel Hill, made a short address on
the melody and effectiveness of music,
“the universal language.”
Each of the choirs at the rally had
a full complement of voices and parts,
the alto, tenor, bass and, in fact, ev
ery voice was as perfect as could be
made in vocal music. There was per
fect harmony of voices and the sweet
ness of note.
All you readers that were not there
missed an opportunity of your lives,
and you should make it a point to at
tend if you ever have another oppor
tunity.
A most excellent dinner Was served
on the grounds, and this is one feature
that the editor was capable of taking
a splendid part in, and he thoroughly
enjoyed it too.

•
The Elks team came down to Pitts
boro Thursday with the determina
tion to down Pittsboro and started off
in a fairway to do it. In the first in
ning they scored three runs while
Pittsboro only got one. In the second
inning the Elks made tdo more runs
and Pittsboro was shut out. The Elks
were shut out in the third and Pitts
boro made two. In the 4th, sth, 6th
and 7th the Raleigh boys were shut
out. They shut out Pitsboro in the 4th
inning but in the sth they began to
git warmed up to the game and made
Lour runs and in the 6th added anoth
er to their score. In the Bth Raleigh
scored one and Pittsboro one. The
Elks never made another run and
, Pittsboro ended the game by the
, score of 11 to 6 in favor of the home
team.
It was a good game and was fought
to the finish by both sides. One of
the largest crowds seen at the ball
• ground this season was there. The
stores were closed and all business

three games that Pitsboro has lost

ford and the one at Ramseur.
