A twenty-gallon copper still was captured by sheriff Blair and deputies Lacey Johnson and John Burns, late Thursday afternoon near the Peay farm and within a short distance lrom the public road. When found a fire was burning under the still, from which a run had recently been made. No one was arrested, and the still was brought to Pittsboro. —3! » W They say a barking dog will not bite, but a bucking automobile will kick. 1 Sick | !

Editor Record : —I was away from home on Thursday when The Record came and did riot get to read it un til today. I saw, Mr. Editor, the Fid dlers’ contest. I had heard there was a great many of the musicians that were dissatisfied and after seeing how it was, I blame them not. I do wish you had mentioned the names of the judges of the music. I j would «n much like to know who they | were. The very idea of the manage- j ment giving any musician the chance J at two instruments. It should have j never been done. I know Mr. Johnson. In the first place he had no right to play in the contest. If I understand the advertise ment in regard to the contest, it was to be an old fiddlers contest—mean ing old time music as the most of us play. That is the reason I say | Johnson should have not been allowed j to have entered the contest, for eith | er instrument. 1 I have have been in several contests and had the same kind of stunt to be tried to be pulled off, but it did not work. With such conduct as this the Conventions will soon play out with us old time musicians. Please keep the Record coming; I love to see the news. W. P. FARRELL. 1 Haw River, March 15, 1924. ■- 1 i - Lawrence F. Codv and Brodie young farmers between Chanel Hill and Durham, went to Townsville and bought a mule. They ulaced the mule in a motor truck and brought him home. The scene created much amusement all the wav. and manv questions were asked. The mule did not appear to mind the experience.

Sam, Corinth. Answer—Pretty college girls, flap pers, bobbed hair, married ladies and red headed women. What is a good way to get rid of bed bugs? Elizt Q., Moncure. Answer —Charge them high rent, like some of the property owners in cities and small towns do. Bed bugs cannot stand high rents. Will vou please tell me what caus !ed the trouble between Adam and Eve ? Some say it was an apple. Bil lie, Pittsboro. Answer —Eve bobbed her hair which j made Adam mad. Eve offered him an apple, it is said, to pacify him. We think that instead of an apple it was a green pair. How long should work hoprs be? Is from 8 to 5 too short, or is from 6 to 6 too long? Settle a dispute. Bob Flint Ridge. Answer —Some contend that from 8 to 5 is too short and from 6 to 6 is too much. If I had my way I would make work hours short, say from 12 to 1, and take that hour for dinner. I am a young girl, 16 years of age, Can you tell me whether a man acts the same to his wife after marriage r.s he did before? Callie J., Bell’s School. Answer —I can tell you how I act. I used to dean over the fence in front of her house and gaze at her shadow on the curtain, afraid to go in. And I act iust the same way now, when I get home late. What is it that the manufacturers put in soap to make the water so black when you wash your face and hands? W., Frosty. Answer —The Federal Survey con tends that it is 1 avers of ancient soil, such as those in the oolitic strata of the Isle of Purbeck, which contains stumps of trees that grew in them. How dairies are there in the milky way ? Simon, Frosty. Answer —According to Herschol’s Hvpothethis, our sun and planetary svstem form part of the milky way. This being the case we are forced to believe thet all milk would soon be come ‘ blue John” and clabbe~ and a lucrative dairy business would not be nossible on the milkv way. However, it is supposed that Dr. Peacock is on erating ore there as he has never been, located in Florida by the State Prison Board. OBSERVATIONS - 1 $ ,Bv RamTVler. “Thev say now that Washington City is the wettest place in th« United States.” said a townsman. “That ac counts for so much domfoolishness around that big city.” “I see that J. Elmer Long is out for lieutenant governor,” said a farm er. “and be is getting down to work building his fences and talking to his frie ds. But what’s the use.” “Men ar° fiv'ny things.” remarked a young Pittsboro wife. “My husband was in work! war a"d ran a tank over in France, and at home he cannot run a vacuum cleaner for me.” “There is nothing in the but Daugbterv, tax reduction, oil litiga tion, high bandits and other pleasant reading ” remarked a citizen the otb«r dav “I never was so tired of such st’-’ff. and the Lord i knows when the end will come. I eer j tainlv w* T l be glad when fishing time mmes, i I can go down on the banks of Haw river, fight gnats and catch a minnow now and then.” “I notice in the papers that ma r v little towns, and the big cities, are bidding bosses to rent,” one of our citirer* said yesterday, “but there’s nothing doing in Pittsboro. I eannot i see *or mv life why the monied men : of this town don’t- »uild a few houses ] for rent. If a building and loan asso j date on was started here many people i could own their own homes instead !oC raying exhorbitant rents. Sav ! anythino- to these people and that ! same old cry comes un—taxes! Taxes , would eat up the rent, etc.” I ESCAPED CONVICT ARRESTED Some two or three years ago George j 'Phomec’on a negro convict, escaped j from the Chatham rountv chain j Before going on the chain gang he j; had robbed a postoffice in this state, \ government detectives went after the negro and caught him.

A child’s life was saved in Brad ford, Me., when it dropped'from the wirdow of a three story house and was caught by two men holding a coat. Gustav Salometz, 80 years old, re fused a million dollar inheritance that was left him, giving it away to relatives, and went back to the poor house where he had lived for years and where he wanted to die. I HaverA You Heard of the I New Way to Grow I Better Crops? I Cured Fertilizer—The Result of Years of Research For a lifetime Mr. Royster and his large organization of farm experts have searched, tested and toiled to improve fertilizer and thus increase the earnings of farmers. A Startling Development One of the most startling discoveries has been the curing of fertilizer. Ms. Royster and his helpers found that after aging in bins for four to six months, fertilizer grew better crops! The various chemical elements combine with one another and the close association of these elements brings about a chemical action which makes every food element in the fertilizer avail able to the plant, just exactly as it is needed —from seed time to harvest. Double Milled After this aging, Royster’s Fertilizer is re-milled (to prevent lumping) and then bagged. All this additional work and care certifies the quality of Royster’s Fertilizers —and assures you of proper feeding for plants. Be Sure to get Royster’s The ame “Royster’s” appears on every bag of Royster’s Fertilizer. Look for it. Ask for Royster’s Fertilizer by name — I and stop guescing about brands. F. S.

The winds may blow the snow may snow and the hail may hail, and the water may freeze in the kitchen pail, but believe me, boys, spring is right here. Listen and look at the signs. The frogs are singing, the jaybird is with us, fishing worms are coming from the ground to warn you that it’s time to go to the creek; the lilacs are about to bloom, the liars are already in bloom, the farmers are burning off the grass, some are plowing, and the housewife is singing a love song j as she picks the turnip salad, prepor ing it for the pot, along with a pig’s jowl. Good gracious! Don’t you feel it in the air? Politics is geting hot, almost bum j ing. The office seeker has his head -1 light lit.
