Bynum, who held the of fice of commissioner of banking in the state of Oklahoma for some time, along with another officer of the com mission, has been removed from his office by Governor Walton, of that state, the governor saying that Mr. Bynum’s administration “has been en tirely unsatisfactory.” Mr. Bynum was the governor’s man ager during his campaign, and why he should be removed from office can not be conjectured unless he does not approve of the governor’s position against the Ku Klux Klan. Mr. Bynum is the son of Mr. A1 By i num, who once resided in Pittsboro, leaving here for the west some 15 or 2u years agv. BRING GIANT CIRCUS. Ringling Bros, a d & Bailey at Raleigh. Arriving aboard 100 double-length railroad cars forming trains more than one and one-third miles long, and made even greater than in 1922 j by the addition of many big, new for eign acts, Ringling Brotners a~d Barnum & Bailey Combined will ex hibit at Raleigh, Friday, Noverber 2, Those wno read tne daily papers or who keep in touch with the movie news reels need not be reminded of the shipload of acts and animals re cently imported by the Greatest Show on Earth. The remarkable cargo in cluded two companies ot baby ele phants are now joined with the forty ! adults of the mammoth herd. There were also 100 more performing hordes acocmpamed by Europe’s greatest trainer, and many wild animals, some of which have been added to the scores upon scores of trained jungle beasts, while others have become part of the mavelous menagerie. More than a million persons saw the mammoth new circus of 1923 during the weeks that it exhibited in Madi son Square Garden, New York. Now this marvelous exhibition is touring the country aboard five great trains. It is a third bigger tnan tne Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey show of last season. It is ten times larger than any other circus now on tour. Big as is this wonder circus of 1293 —with its more than thirty trained wild animal displays in steel arenas, fully 200 wonderfully schooled horses, 700 men and women performers, 100 clowns, and scores of features —the price of admission is no more than before. And though the trained ani mal numbers and the immense horse show were circuses in themselves while touring Europe, they are not offered as separate attractions by the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Combined Shows. Instead all are on one gigantic program. Every thing is in one mammoth main tent. One ticket admits to all these and to the tremendous double menagerie. There are more than a thousand ani mals in the zoo of this circus and these include entire families of hippopota mi and giraffes. Another remarkable zoological feature is an armored rhi noceros, the only one known to exist and alone worth $50,000. ABOUT THE SCHOOL TRUCK Editor Chatham Record —Please al low enough space in your valued pa per to give room lor this article to inform the writer of the Corinth news correctly with reference to the Brick -1 have.i school, of which he made point ! eu leierence (in the Record of Octo i her 4th, issue) when he made mention of the petition which he claims killed ! the chance ot a school truck running ironi our community to Moncure. Let it be clearly understood that there was no objection to the truck from Brickhaven, that I ever head of, but we do object to taking our grades from the school which we have just gotten up and going, there is no rea son in having to go to Moncure with little childien to get the same grade that they are entitled to get at home. We are proud that there are people in our district that will stand by that which is right, and desire the taxes we pay for our school to be used in said district for the maintenance of the grades up to the limitation of re- i 1 quirements. The high school students who are ready for high school work, from Brickhaven, are going to Moncure, and are doing so at less cost than it would cost to operate a truck. Each person who signed our peti tion did so of their own accord, and no one can, to my mind, justly say that any were misled to do so. On the other hand Mr. Thompson, our super intendent, made an appeal for the truck to run one night w T hen he was at Brickhaven and he also told us that if we didn’t want the truck we could car ry a petition before the board of edu cation on the following Monday and that body might reverse their decision. We did so and I want to say that I believe this is the sentiment of all who signed it; that they are proud of it, for all had fair notice regarding the petition, arid I am safe in saying, with no insinuations to any, that as good and intelligent people did sign it as there is in Chatham county. No one wants to prevent any children of lack of opportunity for securing an education; however, we do think when we pay local tax we should get the benefit of some at home when possi ble. The move that the Brickhaven peo ple made just proves that we had ra- J ther have a two-teacher, six months j school than a one teacher, eight months school and only four grades at that, the farming class and prob ably some others be unable to send their children for tjie whole eight months. We all want a good school in reach but we don’t consider several miles and impassable roads in winter time, j in reach, although there is no one that does not hope for Moncure school to succeed. Yours for home community first, A. M. COTTEN. Merry Oaks, Oct. 9, 1923. Every hour, some where in the | United States, a man’s life is taken, i There were more than 9,500 “unlaw- j ful” homicides in this country in 1921. One of every 12,000 Americans is murdered every year, whereas the fig ure in Europe is one out of every 634,000. ADMINISTRATOR’S NOTICE. Having qualified as the administra tor of the estate of L. W.

THE HORTON SCHOOL. r Name Given the Pittsboro Negro Pub lic School. i With the approval of the school i committee the negro public school of , this district will be hereafter known ! as the George M. Horton School. This . name has been chosen in memory of I “The Slave Poet of North Carolina” by that name who was bom and rear ed in this community in 1798. He was ! the slave of James Horton, or Hough | ton, and developed his wonderful ge ' nius as a poet while employed at the University of North Carolina. He was one of the most remarkable charac ters, in many respects, this county has produced. Prof. Collier Cobb, of the University of North Carolina, in his , sketch of Horton thus summarizes ' him: “A slave who owned his master; | a poet ignorant of the rules of pros | ody; a man of letters before he had learned to read; a writer of short sto ries who published in several papers | simultaneously before the day of newspaper syndicates; an author who supported himself in an intellectual center before authorship had attain ed to the dignity of a profession in America; such was George Horton, a negro born in North Carolina in 1798.” | Horton was a full-blooded black man. His lines are in beautiful metre many of his poems are lofty, in sen timent, and all of them pleasing. Charles N. Hunter, principal of the school, while doing research work in The Boston Public Library during the summer of 1920, found a volume of Horton’s poems with a sketch of his life. He made many copies and Hor ton became the subject of one of his lectures which he had delivered in different sections during recent years. I The school opened last Monday with an enrollment of 102 pupils. The building is not yet complete. When finished it will be dedicated with fit ting ceremonies. Principal Hunter and his assistants hope to make this session of the school a profitable one both for the pupils and the community. Enjoys The Record. Mrs. P. R.
