SILER CITY DEBATERS WIN.
Successful at Both Siler City and at
Elan College.
Siler City, March 29. —It was an
appreciative and enthusiastic audi
ence that greeted the triangular de
baters at the school auditorium Fri
day night. However on account of
sickness of the Franklinville de
baters only the Elon and Siler City
teams were represented. The ques
tion, “That the Inter-Allied War
Debts Should be Canceled,” was ably
represented in the affirmative by
Misses Juanita Gregg and Sarah
Margaret Wren, of Siler City, while
W. P. Lawrence, Jr., and Dan Long
; Newman represented the negative for
Elon. The judges were Drs. McCrack
en and Barber and Mr. Gavin, of
Sanford and although their decision
was unanimous for the affirmative,
the liberal applause throughout the
| progress of the debate showed that
! the negative side had many staunch
j friends. Then, too, there was cause for
! additional good cheer for home folks
| when it was learned early in the
morning that Cad Straughan and Har
| vey Paschal had won the negative
side of the question with Elon at Elon
last night. Which, of course, means
that Siler City’s teams will engage
j in the debating at Chapel Hill at an
! early date. Following the exercises
I at the auditorium a reception was teo
: dered the debaters, their parents and
; the high school faculty and the
i school board at the home of Mr. and

chairman of the local board.

ALDERMENJGET WRONG.
Or Maybe It’s Three Citizens of
The Town That’s Wrong 1 .
(By JOE SNYDER)
“What’s got the matter with Mugs
villes’ city aldermen,” asked Col.
Josh Jones, wehn he met his two
chums, John Smith and Jack Brown j
on the college green yesterday.
“What’s the trouble now?” asked i
Mr. Smith.
“Trouble enough. Why, they passed
an ordinance stopping people from
watering their horses at the town
trough on Sunday. They have closed
up every thing. You can’t buy a soft
drink, a cigar or nothing.”
“Then I’m mint,” said Mr. Smith,
“I can’t get my likker out of my store
and I never wanted a drink so bad—.”
“Yes, but it ain’t doing us no good.”
“Did you hear about how I lost a
quart of likker the'other day,” broke
in the colonel. “I went out into the
country and bought me two quarts.
One I hid in the barn. Jim Snodgrass
was around and he’d drink lye if he
thought it tasted like likker. I didn’t
know he saw me hide it, but he did.
I drank up my quart and went to
get my other one when, bless cush, it
was gone. I suspicioned Jim and tack
led him about it. He denied it* at
first but finally said that Tim Medlin
being around he took it and hid it in
another place. Lo and behold! When
we got where Jim hid it we found.it
not. I looked around and saw Tim
and bounced him. He, too, denied it
but finally told me that he knew it
was mine and he knew Jim would
drink it up, but for me to come on
a n d he’d show me where he hid it.
When we got to the hiding place it
was gone again. When I did find out
about the likker, I learned that Tim’s
wife saw her husband where he put it
and she went and got it and drank it
up. Wern’t that the deuce ? And I was
so dry about then that I actually
spit dust.”
“Yes, that was prettv bad, but
what am I to do now. You can see I
am spitting gravels from my mouth.”
“The aldermen passed several
laws,” remarked the colonel. “You are
not allowed to take hold of a girl’s
arm when you walk with her Sunday.
They say that is work. You are not
allowed to kiss your wife on Sunday,
because it’s unhealthy. You are not
allowed to leave your premises on
Sunday because it’s to much exercise
and too much exercise is work. You
are not allowed to cook on Sunday.
Even chickens and dogs must be kept
off the streets on Sunday, and it’s
I thirty years in prison to even look
I at your automobile. It’s awful,” and
| the colonel took out his hankerchief
j and began to wipe the tears from his
I eves. “And just to think, before everv
; bodv went crazy, you could go to al
most any borne here get a little
brandy and sugar, and now if they
smell it on your breath thev say you
are transporting likker and you are
sent to the roads for Seventeen years
and pav a big fine.”
“T wish T could get to my likker,”
said Mr. Smith. “I am perishing,
slowlv perishing for a drink.”
“ Dad blame it,” spoke up Mr.
Brown. “These crazy* town aldermen
have got so all fired smart why don’t
thev pass a law to stop these daeged
bub froo-s from singing so much.”
“Yes ” said Mr. Smith, “Sunday
is the longest dav in the year and I
neve-** wanted a drink so bad in all of
mv life.”
The colonel looked at Mr. Smith,
Smith at Brown and Brown at .the
water in the lake and sauntered away.

DOZEN POINTERuS FOR CORRES
! PONDENTS.
Country correspondents get all too
, little attention and therefore we think
the following dozen pointers, sent out
. by the Askov (Minn.) American, by
its publishers, Petersen Brothers, are
well worth broadcasting by other ed
itors. The rules were as follows,
i 1. Above all get the news.
I 2. Do not express your own opinion
j about news events ;let the reader form
> his own opinion about the matter on
which you write.
3. Do not depend on rumor; investi
> gate carefully all important news, for
your own satisfaction and accuracy.
4. Above all be accurate in your
> statements.
) 5. Write your letter regularly, even
j they are only a few notes. It is in
> this way that the people become ac
| customed to seeing your letter in the
j paper and look for it.
6. Who? Where? When? What?
j Why? How? Answer these questions
j in all of your news stories and you are
l sure to make your letters to the pa-
J pers interesting.
17. Speak a good word for every one
I in your community.
> 8. Give accurate reports of all pub—
il lie meetings and quote words of
speakers accurately.
> 9. Never use your paper as a means
to get even with anyone. It will prob
ably injure you and cannot fail to in
> jure the paper.
10. Speak a good word for the paper
you represent and try to get people
> interested in it.
11. Make a survey of your territory
and find out what kind of news people
> are interested in.
12. Do not minimize your responsi
bility with regard to the paper you
> represent. As associate editor you are
I charged with covering your particu
j lar field.
It takes all kinds of people to make
up a community and there are always
> a few characters that one can spare.

EASTER COMES LATE.
Easter this year falls on the 20th.
of April, something that hardly ever
happens so late in the season. It so
happens then, that the full moon next
the 21st of March this vear, fall on
the 19th of April, and the following
Sunday, which is Easter Sunday, is
the 20th clay of April. The latest
Easter we will have in the twentieth
century will be on April 25, 1943
The earliest Easter we have ever had
was on the 22nd day of March, 1819.

BODY BROUGHT TO CHATHAM.
Durham Herald, March 28th.
The remains of Aliens Stone, the
aged farmer who died Tuesday even
ing on his farm near this city, were
carried Thursday afternoon to Chat
ham county, where he formerly lived,
and the funeral was held at Martha’s
Chapel, of which he was a long and
faithful member, and the interment
was in the burying ground adjoining
the Chapel. The funeral cortege was
composed of quite a number of his r
immediate family and sympathizing
friends.
A NARROW ESCAPE.
Wednesday morning, March 26th,
an oil stove in the barber shop of
Mr. Grady Pickard, located under the
Blair hotel, exploded and in a few
minutes much of the woodwork in the
shop was on fire. Chemicals soon ,had
the fire under contorl, but the room
was badly smoked, plastering crack
ed and glass in the windows broken.
It was a narrow escape for one of
Pittsboro’s best blocks.
ABOUT BOtoTeDDRINKS.
What do you think of one Pitts
boro firm selling twelve dozen crate’s
of bottled drinks every five days?
There are 48 bottles to the crate, now
figure it out. And there are othpr
firms that sell nearly as much. At
least 2,000 bottles of “dope” are sold
in Pittsboro every week, besides the
drinks sold at the fountains at 5 cents
a drink.
A Reminder.
A woman has been complaining In
court that her husband threw a teapot
at her because she twice gave him
sardines for breakfast. The man must
have been a street car conductor who j
resented being reminded of liis work.
