But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.—2 Peter 3:8. ITS STRANGE BUT ITS TRUE. There are a great many scheming agents that are traversing this sec tion of the state at the present time, in the interest of various organiza tions, soliciting surplus money to be applied in the capital of the several undertakings and enterprises. Some of these companies are legitimate and have a splendid purpose in view, while j others are doubtful and have only ex-s periment to make. These various companies are locat ed in North Carolina and other parts of the United States. The agents come in to seek out those who have a few dollars surplus and under the guise of securing 8 per cent on the invest ment as against four per cent that the banks usually pay, they induce many folks to part with hard earned money. Some of the people in Chatham re member the Wizzard Automobile Co., of Charlotte in this respect. It is strange, nevertehiess it is true, how easy one with a little nKK.ey sav ed up will gulp down everything that is said to them by a stranger, when they could easily secure advice from | their banker, or others who have made a study of financial situations. Don’t i ’Listen to these unknown men. A fly | by night will secure your money and perhaps be intending to get the best *esults, but it is only conjecture and you stand nine chances to one of los ing everything you invest with them, both your interest and your principal. If you have saved up a sufficient amount of money to make an invest ment, put it in real estate, insurance companies, banks or other local insti tutions in your county or immediate section, where you know the men be hind the investment, and men who are recognized for their integrity, hon esty and financial responsibility. So long as you take the proper pre caution you will never be sorry, profit by the experiences of your neighbors, 'ihere is no genuine get-rich-quick scheme that will hold and your best friend that is qualified to 00 so, will advise you just os The Record is now doing. i Many people get the impression at times that the banker advises adverse ly on these investments because he wants to keep the money in the bank. This is not true, because your bank er knows that if you make a good in vestment that you will increase your capital and in the long run you will have a alrger account to place with; him. If you have money you want in vested, any financial institution that; has an ad in this paper will invest it for you, guarantee you safe returns! and a security of your principal. Try it and see. TOO LOW, NOT TOO HIGH. Suit has been started by the U. S. government against International Harvester Co., to dissolve the com pany into at least three parts. Grounds for suit are apparently not, as one might think, too high prices on the part of Harvester Company for farm implements, but too low prices —“unduly depressed prices,” and pre sumably, likely to hurt business of other manufacturers of farm imple ments. The Harvester Company’s statement, however, says tnat tne.r prices are low —too low—because of the hard situation of the farmer who is not able to buy normal and needed machinery. Recently the Interstate Comerce Commission refused the program of western railroads to reduce rates in order to encourage shipments of cer tain products. The Department of Justice and In terstate Commerce Commission are carrying out intentions of our num erous laws and attempting to recon cile and enforce their mandates. Every new law adds a little more to our tax burdens or living expe.sej ( and increases the opportunity to pass i another new law. The people must cej “protected" however, even if the cost es protection is greater than the ben efit derived. . . j LINCOLN’S TRUST IN TOILER. “The prudent penniless beginner in the world labors for wages, a while saves a surplus with which to buy tools or land for himself, then labors on his own account another while, and at length hires another beginner to help him, gives hopes to all,' and consequently energy /and, progress and improvement of condition to all. No men living are more worthy to be trusted than those who toil up from poverty; none less inclined to t-ke or touch aught which they have not honestly earned.” The United States offers the oppor tunity for the humblest man or wo man to go from the bottom to the top of the ladder unhampered by class j distinction or official dictation, if they • will but take advantage of their priv ileges, Let us always keep this basic t principle of our government intact. A WONDERFUL OBJECT LESSON. The law of supply and demand works slowly but with irresistable force. A few months ago we were told by political prophets that gasoline would be a dollar a gallon unless the oil industry was placed under polit- j ical control. But high prices resulted ! in undreamed of crude oil output and. stored supplies of petroleum products.; Old man supply and demand must sit back and laugh. He knows that present low prices will discourage out- ] put of crude oil and when our reserve supply is low the price will begin to climb in order to encourage product ion. The politicians will cry out that the oil combine is robbing the consumer, and that government control is nec-1 essary to stop the outrage. And then old man supply and demand wifi laugh. It’s a great life for those who have j sense enough to learn the lessons that nature teaches but its easy to fool | those who pass the lesson by. “Raleigh Iron Works,” is the head ing of and advertisement. It is a good thing that something works in Raleigh. "A surgeon moves a Girl’s Heart,” says a headline. Shucks! That’s noth ing. We have moonshiners in Chat ham that can move a still or a bar rel of liquor, and think nothing of it, either. We are in receipt of an educational edition of the Rutherfordton Sun, printed by R.E. Price and L. D. Mil ler as editor and business manager respectfully,, at Rutherfordton. It con tains 48 pages and is a credit to any town in North Carolina. These enter prising young men deserve much cred ; it for the labor they are putting forth | on a paper like the Sun. It is one of I the leading weekly papers of North Carolina. No wonder the farmers are quitting the farms. It is said that one out of every six bushels of grain, one out ' of every six bales of cotton and one out of every six baskets of fruit or vegetables are eaten by bugs. But if the farmers quit farming who is going to feed these bugs? Who is going to feed the city people? And how are these farmres going to pay anywhere from SSO. to SIOO. a month rent, $lO. a cord for wood, pay for lights, wat er and taxes? The question is a se rious one. ' NEWS FROM BROWNS fCHAPEL.

Smith, wife of the late D. R. Smith, met and present ed her with a birthday dinner at her home Sunday. Her birthday was on Monday, the third, being the 59th anniversary. There was a large crowd present and all enjoyed the occasion very much. Mrs. Smith received a number of highly prised presents. During the time she was notified to go to the bedside of her brother, Sidney Phillips, who is very sick . A large crowd from Benentt at tended the opening of a series of meet ings yesterday at Pleasant Grove Christian church. As usual there was a large crowd present at the church. This meeting always begins the first Sunday in September and folks at tend from near and far. Rev. Monroe Caviness is assisting the pastor, Nev. G. R. Underwood. Cross ties, lumber and cedar busi ness is brightening up now; also the merchants are geting in their fall merchandise. The Standard Oil Co., is beginning to ship in their oil and gas for the new tank and they report they will put in their distributing man and truck this week. Mr. W. C. Brewer is preparing to run his cotton gin here again this year and it is presumed he will gin and buy a great deal more cotton this year than last. He ginned and bought more than two hundred bales last year. It is time that Bennett should /wake up and try to get more enterprises here and help the county advance, al so brighten this corner. We lack dwel ling houses to accomodate the people who Want to move here. We notice the government surveyors are survey ing near us now, on the creek which runs in to the river near here and we hope that things will turn up to the good for us to secure some man ufacturing enterprise. It is very dry in this seciton and the corn seems to be drying up bad ly, especially the young corn. John Yow, our local weather prophet has scared us up by saying that we would have more dry weather yet. Several years ago John predicted a wet weath er spell and while on his. way home through the flat woods, he came very near being drowned by a heavy rain fall from an unusual cloud, and we trust his idea of the weather if this week is not as he predicts. Mr. W. C. Brewer and E. C. Brew er, attended the picnic last Thursday at Greensboro, given by the Masons of Fall Creek lodge No. 285. Mr. J. R. Peace and family visit ed their relatives and friends at Thomasville Saturday and Sunday. We hope that on or beiore the next election lor tne county and state ci ficials, that the people of Bear Creek township will be permitted to divide the voting precinct. This is a large township, and since the women have begun to vote it is not advisable to have only one precinct. Not only the distance is an inconvenience, but it is tiresome to have to wait so long De fore one can vote. It is too much of a rush. A great many of the women have already decided to stay away fromthe polls unless different arrange ments are made lor the. voting, it nas been suggested that one voting pre cinct be established at the Scott Place, kn<*wn as the old Boaz post-1 office. It is at the turn of the road I leading from Chatham road to Fall Creek church. The other voting place would answer every purpose where it is now located at Harpers Cross Roads. Dr. H. A. Denson happily reports born to Mr. and Mrs. William Oats, a big boy. Also twin boys to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Murray. Rev. J. C. Kidd will baptize the can didates who have united with the Bap tist church next Sunday afternoon at 3 p. m., at the Creek Bridge, near J. E. Jones. He will also preach here that night at 7:30 p. m. If there is no rain this week and the water is not deep enough at the bridge, arrange ments may be made to have the bap tizing at Cheeks Mill. BEN—NET. HAD MISTRIAL. A mistrial was had in the R. O. Garrett case at Cumberland Court house, Va., Monday, the jury being unable to agree. The defendant will be again tried in the September (25) term of court. Garrett shot and killed Rev. E. S. Pierce on June 25th. Rev. Mr. Pierce was a native of North Car olina. * Teeth.—To clean and whiten dis solve half teaspoonful borax in a pint of soft water, then add half teaspoon ful spirits of camphor and use as tooth wash after meals. Salt and wa t tre applied with a brush harders the 1 gums and whiten the teeth and is a good wash. FOGS IN AUGUST. According to an old saying “that for every fog in August,” there will be a snow in the winter. That being the case our people ahd just as well go to Iceland to get out of the snow. There were at least 15 fogs in Aug ust and every morning so far in Sep tember we are still having them. Disinfectant. —A raw onion sliced and placed fn a sick room is a good disinfectant, as it absorbs poison rap idly. For that reason it should be burned twice a day and replaced by a fresh one.
