Mr. Editor:—l wish to say a few words in The Record, regarding my self and my children. I was born and reared in Chatham county, leaving there in March 1890. I have been in Alamance ever since and am now sixty-four years old. I have ten children living and one dead —six boys and four girls. lam proud of them all. They have never given me any trouble and their conduct has always been good. My children have always been du tiful and good to me. They proved their regard on July the twenty seventh, 1923, when I was 64 yekrs old. All of them with the exception of one, came and brought me many tok ens of love and presents of value, such as a suit, shoes, shirts, ties, etc. Then on the 29th they prepared a sur prise dinner at the home of my oldest daughter, and together with the com pany of many visitors and the com panionship of my children, there in the beautiful shade and on the grassy lawn, I had such an enjoyable time. I love Chatham and her people, and I would be glad for all of them to know that I never will forget them. I have 36 grand children living and ten dead, and I have two great grand children. Yet I am playing the fiddle as well as I did twenty years ago, or better. With love and best wishes to the editor, The Record and all the people of Chatham, I remain, W. P. FARREL, Haw River, N. C. Aug. 20, 1923. THE SECRET. (Mary Bland Siler.) Have you the faintest notion of what it means When they say, make the most of this life? A life that is a horrible mystery, An interminable strife. Responsibilities for misdeeds is im posed On us poor creatures, Os which we are perfectly innocent. It’s a life unsoluble, sordid and hard, That’s it’s principal feature. When the rosy mirror we would hold so clever Only reflects the aimlessness of human endeavor, Struggling with self reproach And battling with half talents as deadly foes, Possessing unconquerable desires To stand about on people’s toes. Who will disclose the secret and dead en the anguish That consumes my soul? Soothe that instinctive, inappeasable longing— Help me reach my goal. Explain to me these words: Truth, Happiness, Love. Are they mere empty sounds on this earth, And only to be interpreted above? How can we fulfill our destiny; How can we acquiese in our fate— If we are disillusioned, hardened— And those elusive words explained too late? Where is our spirit, our boasted de fiance, Isn’t there a formula in a world full of science? Who can fathom our instincts so in scrutible ? Kill two birds with one stone, Propound something suitable. A world where the sins of our fathers Visiteth the fourth generation— Is it wonder we perish in the anguish of despair, And lament our creation? Ah, weak, vascilating beings Avoiding all pain life has to give. And yet Christ was crucified for such as We He died that we might live. Ah, I fling myself on the soft, dewey earth Humbled, crushed, penitent, shudder ing, To think that I dared lament my birth. I raised my blurred eyes to the stars soft and white And fell a prop to lean on, a firm rock to cling on, My burdens; my heart it is light. The butterflies dance from breeze to flower, And moonbeams play about me, oh, blessed hour! The gentle breeze whispers—what is it saying? Os things up above? Ah, my secret’s revealed. It whispers to me Truth, Happiness, Love. TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND NOW. Over 200,000 automobile and truck j licenses have been issued by Secretary of state, W. N. Everett through the automobile license department since July Ist, according to J. E. Sawyer, head of the department. I Ancuncement has been made from ! state headquarters that the time limit i has expired for delay on getting li censes for motor vehicles and the local officers state that all who are now found running cars without a new li cense will be taken in custody and tried for the offense. Foreign Derivative. j The word booze has found its way into the dictionaries, although some of them mark it “colloquial.” Its de rivation is probably from the German word hausen, which means to drink, therefore booze might be regarded as a word adapted from a foreign lan* guage rather than as a slang word.

All the postmasters in Chatham county where rural delivery is had, has been asked to cooperate with the postoffice department in its efforts to improve the appearance of rural mail boxes througn painting. The acting fourth assistant postmaster general has the following to say: “The special atention of postmasters at offices where rural delivery routes are in operation is invited to the need for improving the appearance of mail boxes on these routes. These boxes, as a rule, present a very unsatisfac tory appearance due to the fact that the galvanized or aluminum finish has worn off on account of exposure to the elements to such an extent that the base metal has been exposed and in many cases has rusted. It is the purpose of the department to improve I the general appearance of rural mail boxes throughout the country, so tlrat they may be a credit not only to the postal service but to the community through which the rural delivery route operates. “It is desirable that the boxes be painted white (with the name of the head of the family or families re ceiving mail in the box in neat black letters one inch in height; also that the painting be done at least once each year. It is requested also that the posts or supports to which the boxes are attached be painted white. This will improve not only the appearance of the boxes but will add materially to the life of the boxes and posts. “Postmasters at the time oi making the regular semi-anual inspection of rural delivery routes at their office, are instructed to take particular note of all rural boxes which do not appear to have been painted within the past one or two years, if old boxes—or within past five or six years, if new galvanized boxes—making a memor andum of the names of the box own ers; they are furthermore directed to politely request the owner in writing to paint the box and post in accord ance with the above instructions and to neatly stencil or paint his name on the sides of the box. It is believed that this request in the large majority of cases (will have the desired result. ■ r* HENRY CLEGG BREAKS AN ARM. While cranking his car Sunday at Chatham Methodist church, Mr. Henry C. Clegg had the misfortune to get the big bone in his right arm broken. He came to Pittsboro and Dr. Chapin set the broken member and now Mr. Clegg is carrying his arm in a sling. Mr. Clegg is the pitcher in the Pittsboro ball team and this accident al misfortune jwill keep him out of the remaining games for this season.

Brant Alston, a worthy and hard working colored man, lives on his own farm on route 2, Pittsboro, makes good crops and has plenty to eat at home and has money in the bank, but that does not stop him from having a streak of bad luck. In August last year his wife fell and broke her leg below the knee. The boses were not properly set and the wound always gave trouble. She was finally taken to a hospital arid the leg above the ankle was taken on. She is now at ' home and the leg is slowly improving. Brant has bought his wife a cork leg which will be used as soon as the wound heals enough. But that is not all his bad luck. He owned a cow two or three years ago that /was worth more than $1( 0. Lightning struck the cow and killed her. Brant bought another and it died. The third cow got its back broke and now he is advertising in The Record for the fourth cow which has strayed away from his home. After all his troubles Brant seems to be in good humor and takes things coolly. A RECEPTION LAST FRIDAY. Mrs. Jacob Thompson gave a recep tion at her home in Pittsboro last Friday morning in honor of Miss Pearl Johnson, who leaves Thursday, (today) for her work in China. The home was beautifully decorat ed with ferns and cut flcovers and the ladies and friends of Miss Johnson, dressed in beautiful summer attire, made a prety picture. The home was crowded to its full capacity. While Miss Johnson was standing . at the front door, after refreshments had been served a little daughter of Mrs. Brewer, came upon the porch with a telegram and handed it to Miss Johnson. It read: “There is a suit case at the back door for you.” I On going to the back door she ! found three instead of one. Miss John son excitedly opened the cases and found packed all sorts of presents given by the host of friends there. The most highly prized present she received was one from Mrs. R. P. Johnson, her stepmother. This was a handsome set of silver knives, forks and spoons. Miss Johnson leaves for New York today, where she will meet several | others who will accompany her to < Shanghai, China, going there as a Missionary from the Baptist church. Quadruplets Rare. Quadruplets are twenty times as rare as triplets and more than 2,000 times as rare as twins. Roughly the . proportion is one set of quadruplets 1 to 250.000 births.
