The Chatham Record
ESTABLISHED SEPTEMBER 19,1878.
I THE COUNTY convention.
~ Horton Takes Crack at
I ’ The Record —Delegates.
Abo ,jt two hundred “unterrifled"
democrats of Chatham met in the
c) , r t house in Pittsboro Saturday at
‘ yclock for the purpose of nominat
•V delegates to the state democratic
convention which convenes in Raleign
tC County chairman Walter D. Siler
the meeting to order and re-
the chair at once to Dan-
K Bell. Mr. Speight Wrenn, may
or of Siler Oity, was chosen as sec
retary of the convention.
Mr. Bell made a talk upon coming
- the chair that was a resume of the
1 Lcomplishments of the democrats of
Chatham as well as in the state.
\ committee of three, composed of
VV H Headen, J. D. Mclver and Colon
Pattishall was then chosen to select
.h e delegates to the state convention.
While this committee was out W.
p Horton made a speech to the as
semblage, giving an epitome of the
value of the more than a million dol
lars owed by Chatham county. He
characterized The Chatham Record
as being sore because it was never
called upon to' express opinion as to
the interests of Chatham county or
any of its undertakings, making ev
ery effort to show that we really had
a million dollars worth of assets.
It may be that his statement was
a wise one, but we question it. That
is the very thing that the Record has
been fighting all the time. The ad
ministration of affairs bf Chatham
is placed in too few hands. The Record
js not the only agency that is never
questioned. In fact very few individ
uals or organizations are questioned
or given a chance to say what they be
lieve are the best interests of Chat
ham county. More of it is confined to
the ring element. There should be n»j
big expenditures of vast sums of mon
ey without all the tax-pavers know
ing it. We fail altogether to see that
Chatham county has a million dollars
of improvments, but the expense
goes -on an<Jj the taxpayers are learn
ing more every day.
One thing we now have is a legacy
of debt to be inherited bv the .young
babes and unborn children, created
by extravagant public expenditures,
r>”d through the courtesy of Cappers
Weekly we are this week publishing
on our first page a cartoon represent
ing the situation.
We shall have some more to say
later on the Horton explanation.
Mr. Jas. L. Griffin made a short
talk to the convention, but he was in
terrupted Hy the committe resuming
to report the names of the delegates
selected for the state conventon, and
before he resumed the floor or be
fore others had.time to say anything, a
motion was made* to "-adjourn aatk it
was carried. - ,
After the committee reported on
the delegates selected, the list was
endorsed by the convention, and Hon.
A. C. Ray made the motion that all
representative •democrats attending
the state convention be recognized,
and this was carried.
Those selected to represent Chat
ham in the state convention, as dele
gates ,are as follows:
Albright township—George W. Per
ry and M. W. Duncan.

This work was put through by the
health department of the Womans
Club of Pittsboro, with Mrs. A. H.
McManus in charge.
Despite the rain for two days there
were 50 examinations made with 12
positive cases, 12 probable and 8
doubtful, which leaves only 15 nega
tive cases.
Chatham county has had little
health work done and yet the county
is spending almost as much money
as some of the counties that are
maintaining a public health nurse.
Doesn’t the clinic report show that
Chatham needs a paid all time work
er. A public health nurse could be
kept busy doing follow up work and
finding others which have had no ex
amination, instructing families in the
care and prevention of tuberculosis,
aside from other branches of public
health work which comes under her
direction. Chatham has a very ef
ficient part time health officer and it
needs an efficient public health nurse.

The Record stated last week that

the “Bob Thompson” case would he
very much opposed, to have him rep
resent us in any public office.
Our present sheriff has served the

in thfe section will vote for J. W.

Miss Esther Grubbs, daughter of

one brother, Reid, and a sister, Miss
Nannie Grubbs, at home, another sis

a brother in Winston-Salem, besides
a number of friends. She had beei\
working in Winston-Salem for some
time, but was planning to come horqe
Easter to stay.
She was buried at Rural Hall Mon
day at ten o’clock. Several from this
community attended the funeral.

DID NOT GET A FEE.
Last week we stated that it was
reported that Wade Barber had col
lected a fee for selling sixty thous
and dollars in bonds for Chatham
county. We consulted Mr. C. C. Ham
let, one of the commissioners, since
we printed the paner and he states
that no fee was paid for the sale. Mr.
Hamlet says that Barber is paid as
county attorney such fees as it is
thought discreet by the.,, commission
ers ill lied of a salary.
There, has been no demand in any '
manner made on us to publish this
and it is done voluntarily. We made
effort last week to see Mr. Hamlet
j and ask him about it but he was out
of town. Therefore this statement is
made in noint of accuracv as The
Chatham Record always tries to be
accurate in all things.

Fifty-One Answer our Contest
For Free Subscriptions.
For two weeks we have published
an offer for free subscriptions in The
Chatham Record. 'However there were
only fifty-one to answer the problem,
fewer than have yet undertaken the
task of solving the various problems
and riddles that we have had item
time to time. It must be that we have
gotten too hard for the younger
folks, and we will soon put on some
thing that is easier.
Beginning on the first week after
the democratic primary, we will offer
a prize each week until Christmas.
There is so much to be done between
now and the primary that the paper
will not have the opportunity to have
replies judged properly and therefore
we will delay the offer for that period
of time.
After Joe Snyder had spent two
whole days looking over the fifty-one
replies we received, he narrowed them
down to four that he said deserved
prizes and we have accepted his con
clusions.
A great many that answered the
problem, did not seem -to understand
just what we were after and did not
follow the rules at all and of course
were eliminated. # ;
The award for the years subscrip
tion is made to J. D. Moore, 32 years
old ,of Bennett. He sends along a let
ter with his reply in which he states
that he “finds so much that he likes
in the paper that it was not such an
easy matter to decide.” He further
says: “I think The Chatham Record a
grand paper.” •
The six months subscription is giv
en to Mrs. E. E. Dark, aged 61 years,
Roscoe, N. C. •
One four months subscription is
given to Miss Margaret Kellam, age
16, of Rt. 1, Cumnock. She states in
a letter to Joe Snyder: “I like it all,
but I have clipped out some things
that I do not like as well as others. I
sure do enjoy reading The Chatham
Record and I think Mr. Shaw a fine
man; I certainly enjoy reading Joe
Snyder’s letters.”
The fourth prize of four months
goes to Mrs. E. J. Dark, 24 years old,
Roscoe, and we are beginning the su
Roscoe. f
The Chatham Record highly appre
ciates the effort put forth by these
friends, and we believe it will enable
us to print a better paper in the fu
ture. We are making every effort.to
print in The Chatham Record> such
reading as is desired by our subscrib
ers and we invite criticism at any
time from any of our readers.
Watch The Record for announce
ment in our second issue in June and
win a prize. In the meantime we
want you to keep close track of our
ads. because we expect to give- some
real prates to those who are most fa
miliar with them.
The winners of the above prizes
will please, notify us at once, to whom
they want The Record sent for these
subscriptions, and if we do net Kear
from them, we will sent the paper,
beginning next week, direct to the
winners and those that are already
subscribers* their dates will be ex
tended unless otherwise instructed.

! letter from Hon. I. M. Meekins, the
republican nominee for governor of
North Carolina, that he will be here
at the county convention to be held
; by the republicans on May 3rd and

Mr.. Meekins is easily the best or

audience wk&rke comes.
He is teaking the race for governor
; in opposition to the nominee of the
4 democratic primary, which will be
! tfr., Bailey or Mr. McLean. If
Mr. Bailey is nominated in the demn

tion at this tune but what he will be,
the campaign between the two men
vyill be an interesting one and will
; be made up of speeches of merit on
bothu sides. There will not be so much
• interest if Mr. McLean is nominated.
Republicans in Chatham county can
well afford to miss the time to hem:
Mr. Meekins speak on May 3rd. and
i anyone else for that matter. There
r will be many here to hear him.
Mr. Meekins is a gifted orator, one
of the leading republicans of the na
