Kidd 1 filled the pulpit at the Baptist churCh Sunday morning and night, preaching two interesting sermons and much good was manifested. Mr. Kidd is broadening out in his ministerial work and the people throughout this section are fortunate to have him with them. He is a self-made man and he has made a remarkable man for the opportunities he had when he was growing up. The Standard Oil Company is ship ping in some more material for an addition to their gasoline and oil sta tion here. Our county superntendent. Prof. W. R. Thompson, was here last week in the interest of the school. He is willing to do all in his power to help build up a bigger school here, and we trust the people will cooperate for a high school. If the surrounding communities will consolidate themselves with us, we can have just the kind of a school that is needed for all concerned. The school will be just what we make it. So let’s get together and work to gether and enlarge our school. BEN—NET. DR. POWERS DEAD. Siler City, Nov. 30. —Coming as a shock to the entire community was the death of Dr. V. C. Powers, which oc curred at his home at Bonlee at 10:- 15 o’clock this morning. Until yesterday morning Dr. Pow ers was in his usual health when he complained of not feeling well as he was starting to Chapel Hill where he had an engagement before the medical board of the University. He filled his appointment but his condition had be come such that a physician was sum moned to attend him before he start- ed home. He became critically ill after re turning to his home at Bonlee with pnuemonia, death resulting this morn ing. Three months ago Dr. Powers mov ed to Mount Vernon Springs, where he rapidly built up a splendid prac tice and made a host of friends for himself and family. Last September he moved to Bonlee when Mrs. Powers became a member of the Bonlee high school faculty. The body was taken to Sanford this afternoon and from there sent to Springfield, Georgia, of which place Dr. Powers was a native, for inter ment. NEWS NOTES BROWNS CHAPEL.

Mrs. Eula Hargrove and Jessie Thomas, of Burlington, spent Friday night and Saturday at the home of their father, Mr. J. J. Thomas. Mrs. Rufus Mann and Mrs. J. T.

Then fame a honk asking him to get out of the way. The sound of the horn was familiar. The pedestrian asked for a ride. Mr. Wallace hailed a policeman, proved that the automo bile was his, and caused the arrest of the driver. 'OHO9SJLLM NI 3WOH V 01109 OBSERVATIONS. By Rambler. “The town authorities should get busy right now,” remarked one of our , citizens Thursday, “and either have the ditches on West street in front of the Methodist church filled with dirt or else let the highway people do it. It is dangerous at all times and it ought to be done before somebody is either maimed for life or killed outright.” The Record has already called attention to the dangerous cor ner. “Christmas will soon be here,” re marked a young lady, “and I have got to make a present to my sweet heart. He always gives me one on Christmas.” We woul advise the young lady that plenty of presents can be found in the stores here. She should try London’s before every thing is picked over; Johnson has a pretty assortment of almost any thing you want. Go down to Lindley’s —he keeps many nice things in his store. You might try Boone Bros or the Chatham Hardware store and buy him a garden plow. That would make a nice present for the young man who contemplates marrying as pretty young lady as the one above was talking. “When my ship comes in,” said a married man the other day, “I am going to build me a ten room house, have fourteen shelves to each room, hire me eleven servants, about three of them men servants, buy ten beds, ten bureaus, ten wash , stands, ten chairs for each room, ten stoves and the stuff that I buy must weigh 100 pounds for each article. When I do all this I am going to turn the house and furniture over to my wife and say: “Here’s all the rooms, all the shelves, all the servants you want. Now move things around to your hearts’ content. When you get tired moving, make the servants move, but be sure not to touch my room, be cause I am going to put ten live rats in that room and I don’t want them to get out.” Would that break her from tearing down and moving things? I should say not, but she wouldn’t go in my room. I wish that ship would hurry up.” IT IS TIME TO HALT. “And it came to pass that the peo ple became tired of paying high tax -les and too many laws.’;’ —Matthew 21:10. It is time to halt my friends. We are getting tired of paying such high taxes, such high rents, too many laws, too much stealing, too many bandits and too many damphools, and it is time to halt. We American citizens are blessed. We have plenty to eat, we have plenty of money. We have plenty of foot ball games to take our and so forth, it is time to halt and take a look at ourselves. We are going too fast. We are on the down grade to death, destruction and bootleggers. Before we know it we will be out of the road into some body’s cornfield and be arrested for tresspassing. Our Congressmen are in too big a hur:*v to get to Washington to make more laws to add to the millions ai ready on the statute books. They want to go back to Congress again so they leave home with a pocket full of new laws given them by their constituents. Folks, stop asking your congress man to make new laws. It’s time to halt, and by the great spoons, we are gomg to stop it. Look at North Carolina. Word went out from the big town of Raleigh that we were building a school house a day. This encourgaed we people because our party was doing the work, but when a few weeks later we went to pay our taxes we were charged up with “taxes on one school house we never saw, $1.50; to building a road we never walked over, $1.50; to 10 acres of land, $1.50; to one dwelling house that a rat would not stay in, $10.00.” Then we were not so proud. Here it is, people. You know what taxes are. Don’t it give you the tum my ache about twice a year—once when you think of it and again when you go to pay it. Too many laws! Too many offices! Too many new things these days. It is time to halt. Let us pray. JOE SNYDER. Who is still no nearer his job of \ canal driver. t CRITICISM vs. COMMON SENSE l Editor Record:—You know the gen . eral rule of men and women, boys and girls is to criticise and common sense - teaches us that criticism in the right > way, often does good, but many times it does harm. Sometimes it is hard to > understand why so and so can’t do r so and so, or why should some cer ? tain party be so restless and discon tented. • Take one that never has a pain, . they don’t know how to sympathize with one that does. One with good teeth can eat the hardest things and enjoy it, but the minute his teeth be come bad, useless and begin to ache, i common sense teaches that he or she ; will immediately change to a diet that will conform to the condition of , their teeth. At times laziness will cause a per son to hunt for lighter work and sometimes actual pain and discomfort will require work of a different char acter. Let’s be sure. HENRY F. DURHAM. Putnam Company Pays $20,000. Payment of $20,000 has been made by the Putnam Lumber Company, of Wisconsin, to the family of Martin Talbert, of Munich, N. D., who died in a convict camp conducted by the Company in Florida, following a flog ging given by Walter Higgenbotham. “whipping boss,” who was convicted of second degree murder. They Must Grow. From time to time God drops a great idea into the soul of a great man. Often those men who live upon the existing institutions start the fire against the new idea. Sometimes they crucify its apostle; but ideas feed on faggots, and grow through cruci fixions—Newell Dwight Hillis. —!■ ■ull.Ml —M——UHIWU—M The Tables Turned. He was one of those smart men who like to make a show of their clev erness. “Watch me take a rise out of him,” he said, as the tramp approached. Then he listened solemnly to the tale of hard luck. “That’s the same old story you told me the last time you accosted me,” he said, when the vagrant had finish ed. “Is it?” was the answering ques tion. “When did I tell it to you?” xjupplr “Mebbe L did; mebbe I did,” ad mitted the tramp. “I’d forgotten meeting you. I was in prison all last week.”—Pearson’s Weekly. LOOK AT THE LABEL ON PAPER. 11 SUCCESSFUL FH![ CLOSE COOPERATION WITH A HELPFUL BANK IS | [ i!
