The following two letters from Miss Pearle Johnson, daughter of Prof, and i Mrs. R. P. Johnson, of Pittsboro, who 1 recently returned to Japan as a mis sionary from the Baptist church, will be read with much interest: Monday morning—For one reason j or another I failed to write you for two or threfe days. None of us thot of writing letters yesterday, for we were a large part of the day in a ter rible storm. It was the most wonder ful thing I have ever seen. I stood for hours watching the waves. About 1 10 o’clock the waves began to rise and they gradually rose higher until they were dashing over the boat and the boat was lunging and plunging from side to side and backward and for ! ward. Sometimes it seemed that the front would dip under the water, then; at times each side was near the water, j I stood watching it, thrilled and al most speechless at the manifestation i of God’s wonderful power, and at the same time I never felt so truly and fully His protecting care, never for a moment did I feel the least bit afraid, i never did I fear He would not carry ;us safely on. lam so glad I had that experience. I wnn’t write more now but will close my letter to mail it at oYkoha ma tomorrow. We are wondering , what we shall find when we reach that stricken city. With a heart full of love, PEARLE. On Board S. S. Pres. McKinley en route to Yokohama, Sept. 2, 1923. Death Father and Mother —After I wrote the last letter from Victoria we remained there several hours and then pulled out at about 9 o’clock. Tne next morning we were on a very rough sea, so rough that almost all the passengers were sea sick. I had meant to write you every day, but couldn’t do it that day, for I was too seasick. Then yesterday we ran into a real storm which made many of us worse than we had been the day be fore but didn’t see much of that real- 1 ly, for I was too seasick to do so. I had to remain quiet the two days. Today it is much more quiet and so I am beginning on my letters. Our boat is almost full of mission aries. There are iew others on board. Naturally that means we are quite a congenial crowd. Monday.—Just a few more words today. We still have a calm sea and have been playing games and having J fun all day on deck. It is pretty cold j yet, but it has moderated some. Al most no one is seasick today. Tuesday—l wonder if you will un * derstand about the letter Dr. Ray will be sending you in a day or two. We decided to send a radio message to him telling him of our safety after we heard of the terrible earthquake in Japan and we asked him to let you know about it, so that you would not 1 be anxious. I remember that when I went out before you knew of the fire on the Monteagle and were more or less anxious and I didn’t want you to have another time of suspense, and other members of the party felt the same way about their families. We are told that the cause of our rough sea Saturday night was that an earth quake in Japan, the effect of which reached even to us, who were out a short distance from Seattle. I have spent the greater part of the day on deck playing games, etc. More to morrow. Wednesday.—After writing about the message which was to have been sent back yesterday I have learned that after advising with the boat’s of ficers it was decided best not to send it. So you have not received that one, but will receive one from Dr. Ray long before this letter shall have reached you. Today’s reports from Japan seem quite as serious, if not more so, than ' yesterday’s. I am so anxious to get there and see how things are, but am not at all sure we will be allowed to land at Yokohama. We have had such a good time, all our party out on deck eating candy and telling jokes since lunch. Now a number of us have come up into the writing room to write letters. We are about half way to Yokohama and to morrow is the day we drop out, so I will write on next Friday (which will be tomorrow.) A GOOD EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW. Mr. Willies J. Durham, who lives near Roscoe, is a good friend of the editor of The Record. Occasionally he comes around and we have a talk. He , was in town last Friday arranging a deed for a tract of land. Mr. Dur ham said that he ahd only 770 acres and land left now, this being all in one body, and he proposes to convert a portion of it at least into a game pre serve. Mr. Durham is a man who has worked hard during his life time and now he is going to take it easier, at least he says he is, but he won’t do it. A ma—n that- has led a useful, energetic life like he has will continue to work. He was left in young man hood without anything and he says he determined to follow the old injunc : tion to save something “for a rainy ; day.” Aside from the 160 acres of land | that he ’secured for taking care of an invalid mother for many years, he ! had nothing. He married a poor girl, but one that was smart and determin ‘ ed. He has saved and accumulated, . and his example is worthy of the con sideration of any young man. Electric current bothered ns th ? s ■ week, as well as being crowded for time the paper is slightly delayed. I —~ j Last Sunday while on the way to Sanford, and when between. Rorkv rivr and Deep rivers the car in which E. W. Avent, of Bynum Rt. 1 and two or three others were, riding, struck a bank of sand and in a mo- j ment turned over, throwing Mr. Avent out, badly lacerating his face and nose. No bones were broken and none , i. of the rest were hurt. - j ■’ mm ■ II U BtA I RAISING COTTON AND GRASS | Why Some Farmers Get Immensely! Rich. It is interesting to listen to farm ers talk about their crops, and like railroad people, that’s about all they do talk about, except when a political campaign is on. Go out to some coun try store on a Saturday afternoon,' Where the farmers of the neighbor hood congregate. Watch them as they squat about, three or four together, some with wads of tobacco in their sorne with their knives out whittling on a stick, and some just listening. There among these hard workers you can get all kinds of in- ‘ formation about farming, raising hogs and other necessaries around the farm. And it is real interesting to hear them. Two of these farmers met in the' barber shop Friday and their con- 1 versation turned on raising cotton, of course. Said one: . I have planted about three acres l m cotton in one place on my farm and had several acres on another part. The , three-acre plot of land was turned ; loose as I could get no help. It was j only chopped once. The grass got in- 1 to it and covered it up, but do you 1 know, I made more money off those three acres than I did off the other patch? It was finer cotton and I got a better price for it.” - ‘‘Up in my neighborhood,” said the! other, “a farmer could get no help and he turned the cotton loose. The grass grew so high in this cotton that he mowed it, hauled it off and sold it for enough money to build him a two room house. That’s a fact.” “Yes,” aded the first man, “I planted peas and the Johnson grass came up in a four-acre piece of land and pushed the peas up. I mow r ed this patch of peas and grass and sold it for more than the four acres would averaged in cotton.” . Then the writer left them wonder ing why the farmers did not plant more grass with their cotton. NEWS FROM BYNUM FRIENDS.

By Rambler. “I notice that many of our citizens are doing away with their front fen ces,” remarked a citizen. “It looks a little odd, but it is a great saving to the owner of the property.” “John Wannamaker said a mouth ful,” remarked one of our citizens, “when he said that you would find it a good rule not to listen to anything a tattler brings you against your 1 neighbors. Pittsboro has of tnis kind of people and I hate to get into their company.” “I notice in the papers that the Federation of Labor, in session at Portland, Oregon, want the dry law modified,” said a citizen. “Well, they may just as well keep on modifying. They will never get liquor back in this country. As for beer and light wines ! they may come back, but I doubt that.” “I think Alsbrook in the second dis trict, who ran in the primaries against Judge Kerr,” said one of Pittsboro’s f well known citizens, “did exactly ; right. It costs a lot of money these days to get a nomination, let alone being elected after you get it. A poor i man has about as much chance to get to Congress now as he does to get the nomination to be president of the [ United States. If you are not a poli : tician and have no money you better not try to run for almost any office.” ip # S FALL, 1923| f| Our stock of NEW FALL 11 | GOODS is now complete. i H Give us an opportunity to i i show you our stock.
