Splendid Three Act Drama Giv en by Truth School. It was the pleasure of the editor to visit Truth school on last Saturday night and witness a three act drama “The Path Across the Hill,” by the students of that school. The presentation was splendid and the management deserves all the praise that they received. It was a good play, and thoroughly demon strated the fact that “love is strong er than hate” from start to finish. The characters were represented by Avery Ausley, Armond Stephens, Ar thur Stephens, Delmas O’Connell, Robert Cotten, Esther Ausley, Orlan Mull, Emma Stephens, Cleo Cotten, and Clara Cotten. Each and everyone of them play ed their parts well and we thoroughly enjoyed being with our friends in that section. Snap judgment for a short talk was conferred upon us but we managed to kill enough time between the first and second act to accommodate the players and we rather enjoyed it, ev en if we were not expecting the honor. There was only one thing to mar the excellency of the evening, and j that came from two or three hyenas, in the form of young men, said to live over in the edge of Harnett county, when they gave the infernal poisoned liquor in their system an op portunity to show themselves as low and base, as ungentlemanly and un chivalrous as any human inn-rate , could, but the action of Mr. T. A. ! Ausley, one of the committeemen and deputv sheriff, H. A. Harrington, soon J proved to the young devils that they would not tolerate such conduct. Any young man that would leave his home county, go to an adjoining ! community, among decent, law abid ing people reflect upon their cit izenshin as these young apes did, would be far better off breaking rock 1 the county roads. This incident certainly was an ob : ject lesson why every mother and 'father should use every means at their hand to put liquor out of reach of the young men of this state. •J A man that will manufacture such stuff, to make young men violate ev j cry principle of society is too mean hell and the devil would not have i-'H-m then why should we tolerate him? Great fear at the commotion and a high state of nervousness, has put ..one attendant-in bfd since -hat time. ; We cannot exculpate of a breach ,! of right on a score like this and we yet think that these young rascals s should he made to nay the peraltv. The Truth school is taught by Miss Mary Lee Utley and Miss Orlan i Mull, and they are to be highly | nraised for t v e accomplishment they l have made. The deportment of the j students and of local neonle in the ’ , audience was of the highest order, and we are proud of the progress that Truth school has made. It is to j j be hoped that the committeemen can ; keep them in their positions. BIG BUNCH OF OLD COINS. j Sixteen Pieces of Money of Various Dates Owned by Mr. Carroll.

Two or three weeks ago a car, con etaining two or three negroes, was wrecked on the road between Pitts ; boro and Moncure. One or all of them robbed the car of everything they could take away. It was thought that the wrecked car had been stolen. They got possession of another car and went to Goldsboro where officers at tempted to arrest them. They made their escape and went back to Ral eigh, where they were placed under arrest. Sheriff Blair was notified and Saturday morning he and deputy ! C. T. Desern went to Raleigh and brought them back and lodged them in jail. They will be tried at the M&y term of court. The three negroes brought here were Henry Fletcher, Rex Rogers and Roy Rogers, the three claiming Apex as their home. The fourth man brought along was wanted at Car thage and was taken there Monday by officer Desern. This man, who is also colored, is charged with stealing , sveral cars in Moore county. ' rnirnm Will ■■ ■ POPULAR COUPLE MARRIED. (Special Correspondence.) Durham, March 14.—A young man arose very early on the morning of March 13th, and no one has been able to tell whether he slept any the night before or not, but when questioned at the breakfast table he said that he was “going off that day to pay his { income tax.” When he motored back to Durham about four o’clock in the afternoon, he brought a pretty bride with him. At the parsonage of the First Bap- ! tist church in Pittsboro, N. C., by the pastor, Rev. R. R. Gordon, Miss Flonnie Goodwin was happily mar ried to Mr. Claude M. Bland, a young business man of Durham. He is the son of Mr. Wm. Bland, of near Merry Oaks, and his bride is the accomplish ed daughter of Mr .and Mrs. Walter Goodwin, of Chatham county.

TV county republican cop tion convened in the court ho in Pittsboro last Monday and a number of republicans were I&fSnt. all the townships being rep resented. One outstanding feature of the convention was the fact that they en dorsed president Coolidge in his ef fort to suppress crookedness and ras cality in national affairs, regardless of political affiiliation, and while the republicans are regarded here as be ing in the minority, it is indeed com mendable that they would endorse the j action of their chief executive. | Ex-Sheriff J. J. Jenkins was elected chairman of the convention and C. jV. Tally secretary. Upon dill call it was found that the party was well represented in the assembly, and on motion it was carried that the chair man confer with the various dele gates from the townships and appoint delegates to the state convention to be held in Raleigh on Tuesday, the j 18th, and the following delegates and i alternates were elected : i Delegates—J. J. Jenkins, DeWitt I Smith, C. V. Tally, L. P. Dixon, J. E. Bryan. Dr. J. D. Gregg, M. H. ; Woodv, N. F. Barber, Manly Barber, J. C. Fesmire, G. G. Lutterloh, W. H. Burke, James H. Alexander, M. E. Mann, C. D. Wilkie and Henry B. JoDGS j Alternates—F. M. Barber, C. C. Brewer. H. R. Stedman, G. M. Clark, F. M. Holleman, J. R. Bright, J. R. Matthews, Ernest Brewer, R. J. Hor ton, W. D. Bums, I. H. Hearne, N. R. Brierht, J. C. Hammond and S. W. Willett. Dr. W. B. Chapin offered his res ignation as chairman of the Executive i Committee. The same was refused, and he was requested to serve until next regular county convention, and he agreed to do so. Several paners were read by the chairman and everyone present en joyed them, as well as the entire pro ceedings of the convention. Mr. J. E. Bryan, Dr. J. D. Gregg, G. D. Bailey and sheriff J. J. Jen kins and others made interesting talks. Mr. Bryan was in his charac teristic mood and greatly entertained the convention with his wit and hu mor and sound doctrine of the repub lican party. The Record highly ap preciates the tribute that he paid our paper. Dr. Gregg, L. P. Dixon and N. F. Barber were appointed as a resolution committee, and the following resolu tions were submitted and unanimously adonted by the convention : We, the republicans of Chatham county, in convention assembled, do endorse the National Republican Ad ministration. We deplore the untimely death of that great statesman, War ren G. Harding. We congratulate the people of the United States on hav ing that great man, Calvin Coolidge, who picked up the great ship of state where Warren G. Harding laid it down, and is directing it through the greatest era of prosperity the world has ever known. We commend presi dent Coolidge on his uncompromising position of showing no quarter to crooks, but demanding punishment of the guiltv whether they be democrats or republicans. We condemn the prac tice of United States senators, who standing under the immunity of the Constitution, for making wholesale partisan charges against citizens of the United States, and then not being able to prove those charges under the investigations. Be it further resolved, that the del egates from Chatham coynty t>e in structed to cast their votes in the State convention for Calvin Coolidge for President. Be it resolved, That the delegates from Chatham countv be instructed to cast th*nr votes in the state reunbli can convention for Hon. G. D. Bailey of conn tv. the nomination for attorney general. 1 Be it resolved, That the republi cans, of Chatham county, hold a con vention in Pittsboro on -Saturday, May 3rd, 1924, for the purpose of i nominating county candidates, the j electron of a county executive com l mittee and any other business that may come before it. It is also sug j gested that Hon. George B. Lock | wood, or senator James A. Watson, or some other man of national repute be invited to address that convention. Respectfullv submitted, J. D.

Cross returned Saturday from a weeks visit jyith her daughter, Mrs. A. E. Rollins, at TDuncan. Mrs. Rol lins came home with her mother and will remain for a few days visit at Corinth. Mr. T. H. Buchanan spent Sunday visiting his mother at the home of his brother-in-law, Mr. Merriman Har rington near Holly Springs. Mr. and Mrs, R. L. Wilson, of Broadway, spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Clark. The smiling countenance of W, R. Cranford, now of Lillington was a welcome presence in our community Saturday and Sunday. One day last week the Norfok Southern passenger daily from Ral eigh to Charlotte pulled into Corinth without a conductor, porter or a brake man. The engineer and fireman were the whole show. The usual crowd about the depot had got wise to the fact that something was wrong by the way Wayhe Horton was laughing and taking down train orders. The engineer pulled up his train and wanted to know why in the deuce Horton pulled the block down on him. Horton told him to go find his conductor and he would know why. But this is the joke, there was no conductor to be found, no brake man and not even the porter. Horton then told the engineer to just sit auiet and not rock the boat for about 40 minutes and the rain crew that he had lost would be along. The en gineer had got crossed up in signals at Duncan, pulled out and left his crew. He even made two stops be tween Duncan and Cormth to pick up passengers and yet did not miss his crew. So he had to wait until they caught up with him. by coming over land from Duncan to Corinth in a flivver. An incident occurred over at Truth last Saturday night that is an outrage on any decent community. Some folks may think that such things should be hushed up but we don’t think so, for that would be en couragement to a couple of drunken boys by the name of Cooper from Wilburn, to come back again and turn a public school entertainment into a near riot. The school house was packed full of people and a very interesting plal' was about half concluded, when these two boys from an outside commun ity, with their bellies full of rotten rum and their pockets full of rocks (not coin) became so disorderly that the school committeemen could do nothing with them and had to call on : a deputy sheriff to put them out. By the time the deputy searched them and relieved them of their “deadly weapons” the people in the audience were geting panicky. But the sheiff backed by a bunch of determined cit izens, finally got them outside and the play went on to a good finish. This is not the first time of late that a bunch of drunks from an out side community have broken into a public school entertainment. We think that the law governing such misdemeanors should be impartially and vigorously enforced. But until the prevailing attitude against signing a warrant for the arrest of such offend ers is changed it will be hard to do this. We believe that the good people of this community have had enough of this drunken behavior at school en tertainments and that some way will be found to adequately care for such unwelcome visitors in the future. DEATH OF MRS. ROBERSON. Mrs. Julia Roberson, widow of the late John Roberson, died at her home on route 3, Pittsboro, last Sunday, and the funeral services and burial were held at Chatham Methodist church on Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock.

March has been a had month, not only have there been shipwrecks at sea, in which many lives were lost, but on land and in mines there have been fearful loss of life. In one mine in Utah 175 men, who had left happy homes a few hours before, had their lives snuffed out by an explosion. That’s not all. Winter was about gone and everybody feeling good when two big snowstorms and strong, high winds shattered the nerves of many neople and caused thousands of dol lars o fdamage.
