One of the most gratifying experi ences is to be hold how much some deed of ours has helped somebody. This is particularly pleasing if. the deed has been iorgoli.cn by us, and when it was done was not thought oi as deserving notice. People oi the right sort do not forget kindnesses shown them, and it is people Ox the right sort who do kind things as na turally as they breathe. They do not have to wonder how they can be kind or lay careful plans to do some kind act. *lt is no uncommon occurrence j for many of us to receive unexpected appreciation. It may come from indi viduals who were benefited by things we did, not knowing that they were concerned at all. It may be alter the passing of years that we are told of something done and long since for gotten that has been treasured up in our favor. Little does the unpreten tious benefactor know how many per sons are looking at him with eyes of gratitude. He may never know how much he is appreciated by people who are too timid to tell him. Just one J thought fastens on our mind, and j i that is that it behooves each of us to j jbe alert to do a kindness here and ; there and then pass on. It may be J j one of the blessings of later years to I receive from some unexpected source \ expression of deep appreciation for ! some work spoken or some kindness , shown. Three Men Flogged. Unmasked men took three residents of Tampa, Florida, to a woods six j miles from the city, whipped them, ! and left them wounded and bleeding, ; to make their way back to their homes j according to reports made to Chief | of Police Williams, j The three men were Leo Osaacs, re j staurant proprietor; Enrique Rosa, j head waiter of a Spanish case, and J Andrew Williams, colored, restaurant i proprietor. The three told police that after they ! had been flogged they were given no tices to flose their business places within ten days. Doctors who exam ined the victims testified that they had been seriously cut and bruised by the beatings. Police have no clues to the identity of the floggers. _ Bandits Hold Up Town. When twenty bandits drove out of I Spencer, Indiana, early one morning they left behind them a trail of ruin, j The two banks of the town were loot ed of all the money in sight and bad ly damaged by dynamite explosions, j Two citizens were suffering from pis ; tol wounds. All electric light and ! telephone wires were out. j The bandits descended upon the j town in four motor cars, bound and j gagged the night watchman, cut all , lines of communication, and went to work on the banks, i The bandits fled in the motor cars in which they had'arrived, firing ? ots at all who appeared in their way The S loot they obtained was about $15,000 , officials of the two banks estimated. BUILD A HOME IN PITTSBOFO. DEATH B R4S MA3RL Friends Shocked V/he V/ife on lor Attends Funeral, The story of a man „,now friends as a gay old* bachelor . o had a wife from v/boin he. *d by mutual agieeme c\v ter they were married ha. e n brought to light by the death y Wheelock, 59 years old, of . Tenn. Wheelock w r as killed m i, a tomobile accident. A strange woman in blac’;, dc.- ng the fuceral service, told m urne.s that she was the man’s wife. Her story was doubted until she showed papers proving her claim. The papers were agreements by which Jay Wheelock and his wife,, for merly Miss Lucille White, of Dallas, Tex., separated two days after their marriage. Mrs. Wheelock was given $150,000 in lieu of any future claim to he rhusband’s estate. Papers in the possession of the dead man were co pies of the agreements. The widow refused to explain the secret marirage and the sudden sepa ration. Her husband never mention ed the occurrence to his friends. “Jay Wheelock never loved any wff man except me,” the woman said. “I came merely to show him the same respect in death which I held for hin while he was living. I know that in his last moments I was uppermost in his mind.” RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT At a meeting of the Woman’s Aux iliary of Saint Bartholomew’s Church, Pittsboro, on November 10, the follow ing resolutions were formed: Whereas, it has pleased our Heav enly Father, in His merciful provid ence, to call from our midst, to a higher and fuller life, the soul of one of our own, Mrs. Rosa Sutphin Brooks, and Whereas, she was a faithful and devoted and loyal member of St. Bar tholomew’s Church and the Women’s Auxiliary, Therefore, we, the members of this Auxiliary, desire to express our per sonal loss and sorrow. While in the past few years, on ac count of physical infirmities, Mrs. Brooks had not been very actively en gaged with us in om work, vet we had the knowledge that on all ques tions pertaining to the religious wel fare of the church she stood always on the side of right, always ready to render what help she could. Further, we desire to assure the members of her bereaved family of our deep sympathy in their loss, with a spirit of thanksgiving that we need not “sorrow as those with out hope” knowing that “they who die in the Lord do rest from their labors.” We desire that a copy of these re solutions be sent to the husband, one to The Chatham Record, and that they be spread upon the minutes of the Woman’s Auxiliary.

One day recently I was a visitor in the home of one of my boyhood friends. He has a nice, up-u) d.ite ies idencej First, you go into tne hall way, thence into the sitting room af ter entering the home, where tnere are . rugs on the floor, velvet or velour up- | hoistered chairs. The windows weie i fasteiied and the door closed. It was stuii'y in that room. i>ut there was ; a ray of sunlight about the size of | one s hand sifting diagonally athwart j the room. I was amazed to see the millions of motes, stirred up by our entrance, sailing across the shaft of light. Presently the lady of the house came in. She told me about little Margaret having had her tonsils re moved and that Sammy doubtless ! would be required to undergo the same operation. “Seems like my children have colds all the time —they hardly ever are entirely well,” said she. Which reminded me that when her husband, Sam senior, was growing up ! tonsils had not been invented—or at • least we knew little about them. He j might have had a little sore throat from time to time by getting his feet ! wet while rabbit-hunting in the snow ’ but a little camphor and turpentine soaked in a cloth and bound around his neck, or a little salt water gargled at bedtime, was about the extent of i the doctoring received. But Sam senior’s daddy and mam- 1 my lived more simply than does he.! The good old couple he called Pa and j Ma, I remember, had no carpet on the floor—instead it was sanded and 1 scrubbed to, the extent that it was actually cleaner than the present-day ’ family’s dining room table. The split bottom chairs likewise came in for | their share of lye soap and water. 1 On the mantel shelf there was the bot ’ tie of camphor, whch also served as a barometer to tell the change of weath er, and spirits turpentine which consti ; tuted the family’s stock of medicine ! save a little castor oil and the little ■ box of “blue mass” pills which repos ed in the clock which graced the cen ’ ter of the fireboard. The windows and ! doors to the old home were nearly al ways open, a big log fire always ! burned in the winter time. There was no lack of pure air and plenty *of sunshine in that home which is . still one of God’s best gifts to man i kmd —is free—untaxed and untaxable! But I forgot to mention what the . late Oscar Blair used to say of spirits turpentine. “If it was a dollar an ! ounce,” he said, “it would be consid [ ered, perhaps, the greatest antiseptic in the world.” ; Some day our state may be proud j of the fact that once our old geogra [ phies would say: “North Carolina’s , chief industry is tar, pitch, and tur i pentine.” j o—iHc7 * Quite Matchless are her dark brown > , i-i-i-i, She talks with perfect e-e-e-e; And when I tell her she is y-y-y-y, • She says I am a t-t-t. 3 MURDER FARM. America.» Sleuth Tells of Butchierings on Plantation in Philippines. k* t oi* a murdir farm was told by W. D. Cor ~ an American special investigator, who recently re turned to Maii.ia, Philippine Islands, after a trip .o the Kumassee planta tion at Davao. Mr. Corn said that five cemeteries in the pla g.aves o. laborers. It is e timated that under the anagement of Dom ingo, a Philippine, 1000 laborers have died since 1914. Virtually none of these deaths was reported, Filardo as serting that the laborers ran away. Filardo had arrangements with i wild tribesmen near the farm to run | down esc ped laborers, offering a sack of rice for each fugitive recovered. Several complaints trickled out during , the last few years, but Filardo’s reign of terror prevented the natives from j testifying. | There have been 250 deaths in the j last two years, of which at least 30 ! are believed to have been brutal mur ; ders. Filardo is under arrest for i murdering a Mexican American born in the United States. Announced Candidacy Senator Hiram W. Johnson, of Cali fornia, has announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for pre sident, declaring “the ensuing contest will determine whether the Republi can party shall be the permanent in ; strument of reaction or whether it' | shall respond to present day condi-; tions and aspirations.” , . . ' i j Women Faint the Church. Painters’ prices we re too high, so seventeen members of the Ladies Aid j Society of a Hempstead, N. Y., church ‘ j put on overalls and at it them-' ! selves. The lady painters swarmed all over the church, but had to call on a man when they came to paint the steeple—or thought they had to. Finds Strangers in Her Grave Let. Charging that the bodies of three j strangers had been buried in the lot I with the body of her first husband, \ Mrs. Margaret Holla d, of New York j j City, is suing Leon E. Bailey, an un- j dertaker, for SIO,OOO damages. Mrs.} Holland found the trespassers when • she went to bury the body of her sec ond husband, she declared. i Six Months for Six Cents. A trolley pickpocket caught taking six cents from a passenger’s pocket ; was sent to jail for six months in Chicago. Some day we shall do this i as promptly to our coal and our sug- ; ar pickpockets. They couldn’t get j i less than a life sentence at this rate. Whey Improves the Complexion.
