A correspondent writes us about
Mr. Jackson Seagroves and his pet
dog having caught 22 moles. Mr.
Seagroves also has a pet hen he calls
“Penny” and a pet squirrel. On the ;
15th of March it was two years since
Mr. Seagroves has been aide to do
any work. * ,
Mr. Robert Hatcher, fisherman, hun- ;
ter and farmer, of the eastern part
of Center township, has moved over
into Moore county where he has tak
en charge of the Taggart Mill. Tag
gert’s pond is a great fishing resort,
people going there from many miles
to camp and fish.
We have an article in type that was
submitted to us from Raleigh this
week, but on account of being- very
crowded at the last minute we are
compelled to carry it over to next
week. It is in reply to a criticism on
dancing and bathing as spoken of by
Mr. Ham.
Policeman Holmes, who is an of
ficer at the Phoenix plant, near Mon
cure, brought three colored folks,
Lucile Lee, Catherine Morgan and
Lee Johnson, to Pittsboro Sunday
night and lodged them in jail for
creating a disturbance Sunday at the
Phoenix plant. They were tried Mon
day before ’Squire John R. Blair and
bound over to court.
Mr. R. M. Pittard and son Henry,
of Durham, Rt. 3, were visitors at
the Record office Monday. Henry for
merly worked on the Record and his
old friends were glad to see him. Mr.
Pittard is a Bailey booster and says
he will run well in his section of
Chatham. From every point we get
information that Bailey is gaining in
favor all the time.
Stella Hayes, colored, was very
much wrought up Friday when J.
Dewey Dorsett, Judge of Juvenile
court, sent six of her children to the
colored orphan asylum at Oxford.
Stella is the mother of eight picanin
nies and never has been married, and
she raised cain because only two of
them were left with her. She lives
near Siler City.
On Friday night (tomorrow) there
will be a Fiddlers Convention given
in the school auditorium at Moncure.
A per centage of the proceeds will
go for the benefit of the school at
; Moncure Prizes are being given to the
amount of $32.50. The program will
begin promptly at 8 o’clock, being in
charge of Mr. A. E. Yarborough and
C. E. Brady. Everybody invited to
go.
More than seven hundred people
j were at the school auditorium last
I Sunday night to attend the sacred
I concert given by the children of the
Methodist Orphanage at Raleigh. Ev
erybody there enjoyed the singing,
especially by the three young men. In
fact the songs rendered by the entire
class was very fine. The concert was
free but a silver offering amounted
to $56.00.

A civil case was tried in Pittsboro
Saturday that was somewhat differ
ent from many others. Gus Murchi
son was timekeeper and a Mr. Royal
was assistant superintendent at the
Deep River Coal Company’s mine,
in the southwestern part of Chat
ham. A few days ago they were dis
charged and their pay refused them.
They brought suit against the Com
pany for their wages. Judgment w*s
reserved by the magistrate.
Saturday and Sunday was spent by
the editor and family in and around
Fayetteville. Cumberland is a strong
county for Bailey, despite the fact
that machine politicians are fighting
him there also. All the farmers and
laboring people are for Mr. Bailey
for governor. Here and there will be
found an office-holder or a politician
that is opposing him, but the folks
i" North Carolina who do most of
the voting are for Mr. Bailey.
Orh of our subscribers is very anx
ious to learn anything they can about
one Thomas Browning that once lived
in Chatham countv and moved west
many years ago. He had an addition
al name, it is thought it wps J. T.
Browning. If any o four older sub
scribers can recall this name or man,
we would be glad to have the infor
mation. Write the editor anything
that you may know about him.
Mack Raney a”d his wife, Carrie,
were up before ’Souire John R. Blair
Thursday for creating a disturbance
over near Moncure. Both were good
and drunk when arrested. Carrie was
fined $14.00 including the costs and
Mack was remanded to jail a
S3OO bond which he gave Monday. It
is said bv the citizens of the Moncure
community that this negro is a bad
egg, some liquor was found ini his
home and he is suspicioned as being
a manufacturer of the fluid. It is hop
ed that a jury will get a chance at
him in superior court.

Siler City, Rt. 5, March 31. —Mr.
Dewey Moore, of Greensboro, spent
the week end with his parents.
Those from this vicinity to go to
see Dr. Kapps last week were: Mes
: dames Berta Moody, Lizzie Vestal,
I Pattie Burke and Misses Dora Moody
; and Thelma Burke. Miss Lula Beal
i accompanied them on this trip for
pleasure. It seems as though the
I crowd was much disturbed in mind as
! they traveled unknown roads and ap
peared like they were lost all the
while. They were also caught in a
rain and wind storm in Greensboro,
that made it almost impossible for the
cars to keep going. Miss Lizzie Ves
tal was dismissed by the doctor on
account of her greatly improved con
: dition in Jiealth.
! Mr. Jim Johnson spent Thursday
night with Mr. R. W. Poe.
Mr. R. L. Beal made his trip to
Raleigh last week. He staretd home
on Saturday and had car trouble,
which caused him to have to return
to Raleigh and make his homeward
trip on Sunday morning.
! Mr. T. C. Vestal went to Raleigh
last week, also Mr. J. W. Burke and
son.
Those visiting Miss Dora Moody
Sunday afternoon were Misses Lula

There were some sixty scholars en
rolled at the organization of the Sun
