RAN INTO A WAGON.
A car driven by a man named J.
A. savage, who lives on one of the
routes out of Sanford, ran into a wag--
on last Friday, driven by the son of
Rev. G. C. Roberts, colored, at the in
tersection of West and Fayeteville
streets, and damaged the harness and
one of the shafts of the wagon. The
boy jumped out. Savage offered to pay
for the damage.done but as Roberts
wanted $25.00, he refused to pay that
sum and left town for his home.

OBSERVATIONS.
By Rambler.
! “Our people seem to be quite back
ward, a citizen said last Thursday.
Here was a car load of prominent ci
tizens at the depot, including our gov
ernor, who made a short speeeh, and
a _ c *t* zen of the town welcomed
, tnem by voice or action.” ,
!
, I se ® John Robinson’s circus is go
iag to be in Raleigh in a few days,”
remarked a Pittsboro lady to Dr. Cha
pm. “Do you think John Robinson'
win go to heaven when he dies?” she
asked.
Well,” replied the doctor, “he has
a good show.”
“We are getting quite city like in
having trials,” said one of our citi
zens. “Thursday was a big day with
I the magistrates. One case was on
| trial #ll day and the lawyers and the
! J. P., not being satisfied, had to try
, one at night. Night courts does
| sound a little big, don’t it?”
“I have been living in Pittsboro
many years,” remarked a citizen, “and
j have seen some strange things here,
but the strangest tiling I have yet
j seen is to go up town and not see a
dog on the streets. A stitch in time
saves nine, is an old saying, and a
dog kept off the streets may save a
life or a lot of trouble.
“When Pittsboro gets her cement
•treoi paved through the town,” re
marked a Pittsboroite, “some of these
old tinkers who have been used to
mud, kerosene lights and lightwood
knots will be putting on airs. It took
these people a long time to learn of
the many advantages of electricity
| and paved streets, and now if even
the lights were cut out these same old
timers would be the first to squall
out.”
“What about that suggestion in last
week’s Record about getting up a play
; for the opening of the auditorium,”
. was a question asked by a citizen.
“Don’t know,” answered another ci
| tizen. “A play calls for a lot of work
• and work nowadays is what people
’ do not like to do. But if these peo
> pie here cannot get home talent to
1 do the work, they might send over to
| Brickhaven, Bynum or some other
, place and invite them to come over
and give us a play.”
“What would you do if you had six
or seven bales of cotton to sell,” a
farmer asked a town man the other
day. “Sell it just as soon as I could
get it on the market,” was the reply.
“I know a farmer over in Baldwin
township,” continued the citizen, “who
had ten-bags of cotton on hand. Cot
ton then was over 30 cents a pound.
This farmer sold five of his bags but
said he was going to hold the balance
until it went to 50 cents. He was ad
vised to sell all he had but he didn’t
and in a few weeks the price of cot
ton dropped to 15 cents. My advice
is to sell it as fast as you can get it
out.”

VISIT TO N. M. BLAIR.
U. S. Blair Has More to Say About
Trip to Ronda, Arkansas.
Dear Editor:—As so many people
enjoyed what I said about my trip, I
will write a few more lines. The peo
ple in Arkansas were nice nad clever
everywhere we went, and my wife and
I, sister nad son, Edward, certainly
did enjoy the kindness and hospital
| ity shown us.
j When we returned from Helena on
Thursday afternoon at 6 o’clock, htey
gave us a big surprise. The first to
greet us were Dr. Bradley and fam
; ily, Dr. White and family aad then
i lots of other friends, numbering 162
jin all. They had full baskets of ev
! erythnig good to eat. A table 50 feet
j long was prepared and teh good wo-
J men soon had the meal ready, while
; hte young girls played the paino.
j Then in answer to a phone call, which
j I answered, Mr. Adams and wife and
| son, from Wriana, asked that the sup
j per wait until they could get there,
j After they arrived, Mr. Howard led
1 in prayer and the folks were told to
begin to eat. They did good justice
i to it too.
I certainly did hate to leave, but
i we started the next day on our jour- |
i ney ot North Carolina. After leav
: ing Ronda for Murina and from there
to Memphis, Tennessee. We stayed
there until 5 o’clock and took in the
sights of that city. It is some big
town. We went to the zoo where we
saw all sorts of animals from all
parts of the world.
My wife and sister thought the
greatest sight was the train running
into a boat and being carried across
the Mississippi river at Helena. This,
town also is a big place. We left
Memphis byway of Chattanooga,
Knoxville and Morristown. We rode
all night through Mississippi and Ala
bama back into Tennessee. The scen
ery was beautiful. There was large
pastures full of fine cattle, sheep and
-hogs. In many places there were as
manv as 400 and 500 head of sheep
and hogs. From Morristown we came
to Asheville, North Carolina, down |
through the mountains. We saw the;
j river for SO miles. Our next stop was
| Greensboro. We spent the night there !
j with a cousin.
