Teach me to do thy will; for thy art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. — Psalm 143:10 — • mm BAILEY TO COME TO CHATHAM. Hon. Josiah W. Bailey will speak in the court house at Pittsboro on Tuesday, May 13th at 12:30 o’clock. This is* the second day of the May court and there should be a large crowd here to hear the next governor speak. Mr. Bailey’s time will be well aken up in speaking dates from this time until the primary, and this will probably be his only visit to Chat ham and every farmer and laboring man should not fshl to hear him speak. Fe will go to Siler City on the night of the 13th and speak again at 8 u clock. If you cannot hear him at Pittsboro, be sure to go to Siler City. It will be well worth your time to hear him in both places. He has many things to tell you that you will want to hear. Without question of a doubt Mr. Bailey will be the next nominee of the Democrats in North Carolina for gov ernor. He is already the favorite can didate and he is gaining ground every day. 'l he newspapers all over the state are giving accounts of his strength and every one will want to hear him. You want to know just what kind of governor he expects to be and the on ly way to get the truth of it is him personally. Keep the date in mind and be sure to be in to Pittsboro at 12:30 o’clock on Tuesday, May 13th and in Siler City at 8 o’clock on the same date. Heis one of the best orators in North Carolina and has the interest of the farmer and small home owner at heart a r d after he is elected in No vember he will look after our welfare as no other man will do. —a o u TELL IT IN MOURNFUL TONES. Some of the would-be in the rank and file of the democratic party appear to be somewhat wrought up because the republicans, in conven tion assembled in Pittsboro a few days ago, saw fit to speak well of the Chatham Record. They are telling it in mournful tones that the paper has been endorsed by the republicans. Sakes, alive, you old has-beens are away behind the times. Why every progressive democrat in this whole section has also endorsed the Chatham Record. In fact “everybody’s doing it.” Here and there will be found a dis gruntled politician, a man who has been mixed up in crime and got his name in the paper, or a “friend of the family” that is not so enthusiastic over the editor, yet they even admit that The Chatham Record is the best weekly paper in the state. As for our part we regard the opin ion of the individuals who paid us compliments in the republican con vention, just as highly as an individ ual outside of the convention, be he republican or democrat. We are mak ing every effort to publish a paper in the interest of the masses—a real newspaper carrying the news each week, and we do not mince words about what we have to say, either. If it is news you will always find it in the Chatham Record. Count on us to continue in the same style we begun three years ago ard if you like the Chatham Record we are proud of it. If you don’t like it maybe you will quit reading your neighbor’s paper each week and sub scribe for a paper you do like. KINDNESS TO ANIMALS. The enactment of a state law in ' Oregon requiring that kindness to | animals be taught in all public schools i from fifteen minutes to half an hour ( each week is attracting nation-wide j attention. F. Rivers Barnwell, Field worker of the American Education Society, enclosed a statement from S. M. N. Marrs, State Superintendent of Edu catioon, Austin, Texas, to the school children of Texas as follows: “I take pleasure in directing your attention to the fact that education in its broadest sense includes the training of the individuals in order that good character may be the main result. We cannot have good charac ter unless we observe the “Golden Rule” ai d the observance oi the “Golden Rule” should be made broad enough in its application to include animals as well as people. • “To this end I wish to endorse the teaching of humane treatment of ani mals as a means of instilling into minds of children proper regard for feeling for others. If we car. h-v-* +v,„ conception that the word “OTHERS” includes all animal life we will have taken a long step toward world peace, for the individual who has this feeling a ’d will apply the “Golden Rule” will not be found advocating harsh treat ment of individuals. It is the function of schools to make this contribution to education and the organization local societies which have for their purpose the protection of animals and children will contribute w- largely to the uplift of social conditions. Some men are so steeped in ineffi ciency that they are blind tfc ability illUigiviy in othcx . NEED OF LEADERSHIP. The party politicians have pretty thoroughly stripped the voter of his independence and his courage. 1 Glenn Frank has concealed the ideal i president and describes him in “The ; Man Who Should be President” in 1 the January Century. He says; “The next president should be a man of courage, should live in tellectually and morally enough above : the battles of politics to enable him to * think and to act with the requisit realism and courage. “The service such a president could render would help us break the paral ysis that has fallen upon American . politics. He would help us reinvest the political process with reality. * There is nothing more certain than that representative government is doomed unless we do away with anon ymous blackmail which our democracy practices on its political leadership, with the result that courage gives way to cowardice and statesmanship turns politician.” § t m THE MACHINE IN CHATHAM. The Raleigh Times. [ “Ten for Bailey/' announces The 1 Chatham Record in a headline over ‘ the following communication: Editor Chatham Record: — * We guarantee you ten votes for Bailey, Sheriff Blair and : C. C. Poe and anyone else that i your valuable paper may endorse. Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Bland. There’s a prophet—a paper pro phet at that who has met with consid i erable honor in his own country. We 1 don’t know Mr. and Mrs. Bland; but any couple who can deliver ten votes as ordered have our respect. And a newspaper editor who has only to say the word; he’s the stuff, isn’t he? It really looks as if the Machine in Chatham were a Country Campbell or a Babcock press. I Missed your guess agin, Coffin, we 1 manipulate our affairs in Chatham with a Cranston drum cylinder, and it is some “machine.” ■ ■ —i ■ LOTS OF ’EM FOR BAILEY. 1 If our friend Coffin, of the Raleigh . Times, could take a glance at our cor f respondence, he wouid be more jubi lant than ever over our Cransio.i drum I cylinder in Chatham. In every mail jwe are receiving letters from folks {who assert themselves for Bailey. In | many instances there are whole fam ■ ilies, like Mr. and Mrs. Bland, who say they are for Bailey for governor, i Mr. J. N. Hackney, of Rt. 1, Pitts boro, says he is for Bailey and adds: “Also have eight in family who are for Bailey,” and states further that he is in accord with The Record at all times. A letter from a friend in Moncure gives the names of ten or more for Bailey. W. J. Stephenson at Corinth writes an enthusiastic letter and says he is for Bailey, and states further, “that he likes The Record very much, and it is easily the best paper I have ever taken or read.’ ’ S. P. Teague, R.F.D. Siler City, al so sends in names of half a dozen or more who will support Bailey, and many other splendid, useful men, are whooping them up for Bailey. As we promised not to use the names of those sending in we are not doing so £xcer>t in cases where there was no objection. NEWS AT*MERRY OAKS. Merry Oaks, March 24.—Mrs E. T.

Catawba News-Enterprise. The men who fought for the edu cation of the masses of North Car olina 25 or 30 years ago, were laying the foundation to make possible the educational and industrial progress we now have and will have for the future. * In 1897 when the writer (at that time State Superintendent of Public Instmction) undertook to use and did use the press of the State as it Jiad not been used before in the interest of public education, there were many who stood aloof in the State, many who had no sort of patience with the idea of making a stand worth while for the education of all the children of the State. It was a time when it took courage to stand for a real progressive for ward movement in public education —because public education was not a popular thing at that time with many of the people of the state. There was one young man in Ral eigh who at that time had the mor al courage and the boldness to join hands with the movement for better, opportunties for the great mass of the children of the State. He was editor of The Bibical Re corder, the official organ of the great Baptists hosts of North Carolina. He was advised that it was not the part of expediency or wisdom to join hands with the movement to improve the public schools at that time. But this young man had a vision of the day we now enjoy and realiz ed that the only hope for the uplift of North Carolina, was through the education and the elevation of the masses of the people in the public schools. This young man and the writer had the boldness to offer and fight for a bill to appropriate from the State treasury one hundred thousand dol lars for the public schools —an ab surd thing to think of doing by some of the educational leaders of that day—and something that was entire ly out of the question with many of the political leaders of that day. When the bill was considered by the educational committee it had two friends to speak for it—the young man of Raleigh and the writer. This young man did not falter in his ef forts until the bill was enacted into law, and has not failed in other ef forts to this good hour to do what he could for the uplift of the child hood of this State—and the name of that young man is Josiah William j Bailey—a candidate for Governor of North Carolina. Fortunate it is, that if there be doubting Thomasses as to this re cord, there is living today at Lum berton, Hon. Stephen A. Mclntyre a Democrat of Democrats, as to his De mocracy, and he will bear living tes timony as to the truthfulness of this record. He is the Democratic Senator who lead the fight for the turning of the tide in North Carolina for the up lift of the childhood of the State. Notwithstanding this record there be those who say that they oppose Bailey because they have fears for the progress of North Cartdina —a man who did so much to make possi ble the progress we have made in North Carolina. His voice was heard in highways and the by ways of this State to lead the childhood of that State out of the wilderness of ignorance, when the voices of many of those who now op pose him were as silent as a tomb. He spoke for those who could not speak for themselves. There may be some who are sin cere in their fears of what Bailey will do and what he will not do—but there is no young man or young wo man, no child in the cradle, no child yet unborn who needs to fear that if Bailey is made governor that he will fail to do that which he believes is best for them. He has the courage to do so. NEWSY LETTER*IFROM FRIENDS AT BRICKHAVEN. Brickhaven, March 24. —Mr. W. J. Hannon speilt the week end at his home near Carthage. Mr. and Mrs. A. B.

I have lived in Pitts- I boro during the past eight months, ( six months of this time I have been j actively engaged as principal of the i negro public school. My presence here | is not accidental but designed and; urged by a recognized necessity. This J is a promising field for educational work among negroes. They need awakening and inspiration. They need this more or less everywhere. It is too largely true that our schools are not accomplishing the good of which j they are capable and for which they i are intended. Education is a very*in- | elusive term. It is comprehensive. It is not mere book learning. It embraces the whole system of training that makes for life, better life, higher life, nobler life, purer life, sweeter life. Education is the development of pow er. Power is the ability to do. This is !*- the work of our school and this is the work to which teachers should dedi cate themselves. But I am now chiefly concerned about the negro schools and negro ed ucation. How can these be made ef fective in achieving the end of their creation? I have found in Chatham county the same conditions that I have found everywhere. If the negro school is to be made an asset and a blessing to the community it must have the sympathetic interest of the white people of the community. Hap pily this- is not difficult to secure. Rightly approved the white people ! will join hands with the progressive negroes in making their schools what they should be. I have found it so in Chatham county. I have found it so in Pittsboro. I have been cordially’ received by them. I have been kindly treated. I have received words of en ! couragement on every side. Many of ' them —most of them, perhaps—are l deeply appreciative of the significance i to their own lives of the kind of life ! that is lived by the negroes who dwell among them, who work in their homes, who cook their food, who nurse , their children and who do their gen i eral housework. They cannot be in ! different to the sanitary habits of these people who constitute so large , a part of the community. The health and happiness of the whole people are endangered or safeguarded just in proportion as the physical condition of the negro population is lifted and purified. And likewise the moral tone of the community is lifted or lowered in proportion as the moral tone of the negro life is lifted or lowered. If the lower strata is elevated, all above it go up. Here is the glorious work of the negro school. Here is an inviting field for the missionary work of the whites. I am fearful that the spirit of segregation has worked an aloof ness that has proven an effectual bar rier to the cooperative energies of the two races. We have been forced so far apart that we do not know each other as we should. If the white people would help, the colored people must know them. They must know them in their church life, in their school life, in their home life. The white people fix the standards of our civilization. They mould ard direct sentiment. They are the basis and stay of our Christian enterprises. They can transmute these into the lives of the negro just ir so far as they can reach and teach them. There be ro fear of “social equality.” That is the bugbear of the politician. We may labor together for good; we mav se:ve a common cause; we may strive for the same end; each bowling in its sep arate orbit, held in place by centripetal and centrifugal forces of our great social system. I have felt to write these thoughts in the hope of doing some good. My c-tnv ir» Pittsboro has been pleasant and informing. The spirit of the peo ple is fine. The school officials, both county and district, are earnest, ca pable, and show much interest in ne-. gro education. T may not have ac complished all that I so much desir ed. My enthusiasm may not have met the spirited response among my ow~ people that I hoped, but I am not discouraged. In these golden autumn years of a long life of service. I still feel fit amd ready for the bugle note of battle. I am still fresh ■f’or the season of service. Cutting and clear ing* plowing and planting; se°d time \ and harvest; sowing and reaping—all seasons for service. CU*S N. HUNTER. Principal Horton Public School. ■ .l. .
