For the past week or two there has been many close conferences of the small politicians of the small towns in Chatham county. Here and there may be seen small groups of small men, holding conversation and it is presumed that they are calculating just how they will have the “dear people” vote the ticket during the next primary and general election. “They” do say that the machine folks have already selected their leg islator, their sheriff, their commis sioners and a few minor officers, but they are undecided as to register of deeds and they do not know what to do about clerk of court, but they are doing all they can to get a “line up” so that they can begin to exercise a commanded prerogative with the folks in the “sticks.” Well, the day has past for this pro cedure. There was a time when the plain old farmer and country man could be directed “like dumb driven cattle” but there will be many “heroes in the strife” after the next con flict. The day of bossism, machine and ring direction is at its ropes end and the plain people of Chatham county will vote for the man they want, the party they like and disregard this as sumed superiority by a few little law yers and other small fry professional politicians in the small towns in Chat- ham county. WE’LL DO OUR BEST. Last week we printed on page two of the Record a letter from Mr. W. P. Farrell, of Haw River. This letter is but a sample of like we get every week and we do feel grateful to our i'riends for their many words of com mendatior and praise. We wish we could print all of them that we re ceive but it is not possible to do so, but we appreciate the fact that The Reco|d is growing in popular fa vor every? week by all those who be lieve in right and justice and appre ciate a good paper. Os course there are a few pin heads here and there that were born knocking something or everything and they have kept at it all of their lives. Then, too, there are the disgruntled politicians who have been'pulled away from the pub teat, and they want to kill and destroy any and 1 all agencies that oppose them. The time has come when you can’t pull the wool over the good old man or woman of the “country” like you once could. They have educated themselves to a higher plane of liv ing, they do their own thinking and they reason things to suit themselves. They have come to an understanding whereby they know that they have as much sense as the “small town” pol itician, and it does not matter with them whether a man has been a sen ator or just an ordinary debater, they can cope with him on every day af fairs. In speaking of The Record in his letter, Mr. Farrell said “it makes me feel good, and thankful to you,” etc. That particular sentence gives us much satisfaction and we want all our subscribers to feel good when they get the paper. We shall always try to make it as interesting as we can and when we find a piece of news we shall make every effort to get the facts and give them to you. We shall try to— “ Live for those who love u», For those who know us true, For the Heaven that smiles above no US, * And awaits our spirit too; For the cause that lacks assistance. For the wrong that needs resistance, ] For the future in the distance. And the good that we can do.” CALL LAW PRACTICE GAMBLING. ! Orangeburg (S.C.) News. The practice of law in the United States is a gambling game played be tween two sets of lawyers with the Judge as the umpire, declares Attor ney Clancey, of Detroit, who contin ues, “A man with a good lawyer anci 2L poor case wins, while the man with a good case and a poor lawyer loses— and this is the only country in the world where that can take place.” He insists that our system of pleading is inexpressibly stupid, childish, sense less and silly quibbling, which is worthless, useless, and valueless in the drama of justice.” There is something in the observa tion of the gentleman from Michigan. Too often the trial of a case is consid ered a duel between opposing counsel. The reputation of attorneys depend to a large extent upon the successful handling of cases. It is not an uncom mon idea in this part of the country that successful litigation denends more upon the retained up on the justice of the cause. Moreover, there are some attorneys who unduly utilize the influence of their general j character .in the conduct of cases in j which they are engaged. OUR COUNTRY. Distinguished reformers have been rushing to Russia to get ideas of how to make Our Country worth living in. America, in 300 years of national history, has created a national wealth of 300 billion dollars; while Britain, in 2,000 years of creative opportunity, has created a national wealth of 170 billion dollars. Mr. William Goodson of Balderton, England, said in New York the other day that the English worKman scarce ly knows what it is to own an auto mobile. “American workmen are far better fed, better housed and better paid than those of England,” said he. If this is a correct comparison be tween America and her nearest rival, what would be the comparison be tween America and some other lands which “our social reformers” ask us to emulate ? When the American mo ron yells—“On with the Revolution!” straight thinking American Labor is likely to reply—“ Not us!” A man over in Kentucky, steamed old liquor barrels and sold the juice for S3O. What next? President Coolidge has broken the ice at last. He delivered his message to Congress in person last week. Ac cording to.*his picture in the Greens boro News of last Friday it reminded one of a boy who had just made a raid on a melon patch and had cap tured a big, fine one—he looked so pleased. Money! Money! That’s the cry all over America. North Carolina is call ing for fifty millions of dollars in bonds; Louisiana is after ten mil lions and other states want millions to build roads. Bandits are robbing banks of thousands of dollars, and men are being knocked down and robbed. Yet some people contend the world is growing better. Bootleggers are up to all kinds of schemes to get by with their “didn’t know it was loaded” stuff. Some of them are using motor inner tubes to carry liquor; some use the joints of fishing rods, and one man used the chandellier in which to hide his liq uor. Go to it, fellers, sooner or later this country will be so dry that a fish will have to come to people’s homes to beg for water. A CREDITABLE PAPER. The Marshville Home, published in that progressive little town of Marsh ville N. C., by Zeb Green, comes to us this week in a dress of 36 pages in the form of their thirty-first anni versary. The paper is issued as a Christmas edition as well. It is full of very choice reading, a good patron- age of ads and portrays in a splen did manner the progress of the town. The paper is a credit to any small town of North Carolina. It is printed neatly and well arranged. We congrat ; ulate friend Green on his effort. Card of Thanks. r \ We desire to publicly express our ; sincere appreciation to our many friends and neighbors for the numer ’ ous acts of kindness shown during the illness snd desth of Mi’s. Msggic Phillips. Also for the many expres ’ s ?° n . s of sympathy and for the beau tiful flowers which cover her grave. We are grateful and give our assur ance that these things vsill never be forgotten. SAM R. PHILLIPS, Mrs. FRANK PHILLIPS and Family. Card of Thantfs. We wish to thank our many friends and neighbors for their service and their kind attention to us during the sickness of our father and our little girl. Both are now improving and slow ly advancing back to health. Mr. and Mrs. W. L. FOUSHEE. The happiest people are those that never stop to wonder whether th6y are having a good time. e~ T ' BILLIE SUNDAY 1 Jhr l£hurlotlr (Mistrvei SIX WEEKS FOR SIOO.

Features, comics, special articles of general interest and an editorial page second to none in the South, make up a paper that is more than desirable.
