Yea, Yea, and Nay, Nay.
Let your communicaiton be, Yea,
vea* nav nay: for whatsoever is moie
than these cometh of evil.-Matthew
5:37.
WHATEVER IS IS BEST.
It helps a man to get mixed up a
little at times; he must be roiled
into dispute, dragged around into vex
atious conditions and stirred up to
a white heat in order to bring out the
better elements and learn him to seek
the best there is in life and to accept
honest priciples for a playmate. The
unnecessary abuse or intrigue *ato
which he is thrown proves to him his
standing in a community. It demon
strates to him his friends and helps
him to a realization that he is ac
counted worthy and that he has
friends. . , , , ,
There is no man living that has naa
it more clearly demonstrated to him
than has the editor of The Record
within the past few weeks and more
especially within the past few days.
There is no accounting just how many,
people have come to our office, sent i
us letters, brought and sent us ver
bal sympathy from them that we
should have been subjected to so vile
an insult as was attempted by a few
flop-eared jack-asses in Pittsboro.
Just so long as a man can maintain
a clear conscience and commanding
the highest respect of so many peo
ple, he continues for the good.
We can easily conceive how an ag
jiostic can perpetrate vile and evil
things, but a man who knows there
is a God and professes to believe in
immortality, pretends to be a leader
in the church and is honored with au
thority therein, is beyond our com
prehension when he emulates the ape
and tries to follow those who disclaim
any knowledge of God, holding that
the mind of man is limited to a know
ledge of phenomena ahd of what is
relative, and therefore the infinite, the
absolute and unconditioned, being
vond all experience, are consequently
beyond its range.
You can easily judge a man by ms
j-eal belief in God, that is to ><iy, his
belief in eternal justice.
Faith tells one that God made man
in His own image. The history of a
hundred religions tell you also that
man has made HIS god in the image
of man.
The God of a savage is a savage
delighting in cruelty. The heaven of
the Mohammedan sensualist is a heav
en filled witjj, immoral: women etern
ally young, with the earthly wife care
fully excluded.
The vengeful man creates a venge
ful god, stern and cruel.. The poor
oppressed slave, craving pity, creates
and establishes a mercuul god, pio ar
ising all things to the poor ad the
humble. „ , .
Under trying and distressful cir
cumstances man fails to think about
God as he should; he cannot do so m
company or oppressed, but there >s
no mortal influence that can prevent
that satisfaction when at night be
looks upward, the earth a dark ball
under his feet, the blue firmament
blazing with millions of po nts of
light, gazing into infinity, lying be
tween himself and God, that feeble
mind can at least think of the only
“Being unlimited.”
With a wonderful love for the Gnd
we worship, an abundant satisfaction
for the friendship and love for those
who know us best, we shall coptirm
to put forth our best efforts in the
publication of The Chatham Record
and with the hundreds of subscribers
that we have, with the manifestation
of their high regard we exne t to
“carry on”. Just so lo -g as the goo'
God does rot wither our frame, en
feeble our mind or cast us into inca
pacity, we shall continue our fight for
the best interests of Chatham Conn
ty, as we see it. There are multi
tudes that a-*e with us and as •' lY ar
my grows the more we shall do.
WORK OF OUR SOLICITOR
Clawson L. Williams, the solicitor
of the fourth d'strict, which embrace
Chatham County, has made an indeli
bie impression on the people in Pitts
boro and those who attend court bet!
from necessity and choice.
The October term of court was one
in which he clearly demonstrated hie
ability as a prosecuting attorney. lie
is vigorous in his speech, bis ques
t uning and his procedure in the court
ycom, yet he is kind of heart and ev ?
Teady to extend or grant a privilege
to the defendant to become tetter bj
having a chance, readily agreeing to
a *y suggesiton from court or counsel
to make brief punishment one should
? eceive. Liberal in every thought and
transaction, yet stern in his dutv, he
is meeting the approbation of all the
people in this section.
His tender, generous nature was
thoroughly demonstrated with the
youths who had stolen an automobile
and bought gas in Merry Oaks with
out paying for it and other cases
that were tried in the recent term, ac
quiescing in every particular where
mercy and consiedration was deserv
ed.
_ °t a bility, a good lawyer,
«rPn+i! rmine w Solici^° r and a Christian
gentleman. Mr. Williams is a leader
in his church; well versed in the Bible
and he practices the precepts as
taught in-the Holy Word of God. With
these elements in a man there is no
doubt but that justice will be mete t
out in a satisfactory manner at all
times.
It is conceded by all those in posi
tion to know that he is the very best
solicitor this district has had in many,
manv years, certainly within recent
years.
Some co-called farmers are not
farmers at all. They are land rob
bers, says an exchange. Like some
land owners. They are not Christians.
They are rent profiteers.

NEWS NOTES FROM BONLEE.
Bonlee, Nov. s.—The Bonlee high
school seems to be making its maik
this season, as both dormitories are
filled and some students are boarding
in private homes. Proi. Dorsett is to
be highly commended for his thor
ough methods, as his graduates are
making high marks in the various
colleges.
We desire to call attention to the
agricultural department of the school
under the supervision of Prof. Nance.
This department has proven that it
is a strong factor in the education of
our boys. It not only teaches the boy
how to farm, but it has a complete
work shop with every modern wood
working tool. Here the boys are
taught to do repair work and to
make sirrmle useful things. We are
very proud too, of the Home Econnmics
1 department which drille into the
| minds of the girls the real duties of
. the home. We look for the school to
1 be still larger next year.
The Bonlee Motor Company is sell
ing a large number of Chevrolet cars
in Chatham county.
Several new homes have just been
completed in Bonlee an dothers are
well under way. “Watch our little
town grow.”
It is expected that the Ruth Roller

Dates are especially rich in sugai
a carbohydrate, hut they also contain
protein, fats and salts and, in fact,
all the elements that a balanced diet
calls for. Sugar is remarkable as un
energy producer, and the sugar con
tained in the dates imported to this
country is the so-called invert sugar,
different from cane sugar in that no
chemical change is necessary within
the body to assimilate it into the
human system.
