H that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor. A faithful man shall abound in blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. Proverbs 28:8, 20. It seems that Wilmington will get 3 bridge across the Cape Fear. The War Department at Washington has approved the plans. The old city has been handicapped by lack of a land approach these two hundred years. * _ EDITORIAL The Chatham News keeps adding to the size of its big county edition. We our expecting a fine issue from our Siler City contemporary one of these days. It should help to acquaint the new editor of the Record with I Chatham county men and institutions.. The State Fair is at hand. The fates are against it, weshould judge. The people are behind with their work worse than in many a year and with very little money yet derived from the cotton crop, it will be sur prising if there is the attendance of former years, even if the display 1 should be requisite to the demands of a fair attempting to show North Carolina products at their best. ■ The State Commissioners of Agri culture, in a meeting at New Orleans, declare the government report of the ; cotton crop too high. Not only in will the crop probably be much short ter than reports have indicated, but the quality will almost inevitably be the lowest in many years. The dam age by wet weather is reported as almost general over Georgia and the Carolinas, and our readers know what it in this section. • The state should not begrudge the month’s extension of life to the ne gro slayers of the Lexington jitney driver, who have been rprieved for a month because of the absence of drunk and got eight months. There is who is in California seeking to find a means of securing the return of Dr. Peacock. If that butcher may go skin free, it is no great mercy to al low the ignorant slayers of the jitney driver to live thirty days longer. Johnston county has posponed the opening of its eight months schools n oirder to allow th chidren to help pick out the cotton. It is -now hard to see how Chatham farmers will get theirs picked unless something similar is done. Here it is frost time and only one bale of new cotton sold on the Pittsboro market up to this week. Picking is a month in arrears. Besides, picking will be an unusually slow process this fall, both because of the state of the cotton and because the approach of cold weather and short days. M. L. White, the veteran teacher of Cleveland county, better known to the reading public as “Com Cracker”, has forsaken the school room in the face of the dscrimination in favor the newer issue of teachers. The edi tor of the Record, after preparing to reenter school work, in which he spent over a score of years, saw the fate awaiting him and decided to take up newspaper work again, in which one can be his own boss and may continue till he is a hundred, if he lives so long and desires to do so. We should like to see “Com Cracker” in the newspaper game. He would make a readable paper and should make more than he will making axe which he. contemplates as succor fhr old age* Judge Lyon gave one Malpass of' Pender county a two-year sentence for maliciously putting things upon the road to puncture automobile tires. In Mecklenburg county a man who killed a negro woman while driving a car Warden Busbee of the penitentiary scarcely a question that the Pender j man is naturally the menacer but the 1 latter is the greater menace to the public. Tires can be patched, but there is no resurrection kit carried by au toist or physician. The man that gets drunk and gees cut and kills should be punished severely. In the first place he has either violated the law or caused some one else to do so in get ting the liquor to souse bin. The man who cannot resist drinking should be sure to lock up his car and throw Ui e b e f ore g C ; r g OU £ f or his booze supply. "-.-, -- - - - Wonder how they get so—when fel lows are willing to pay out fifty and sixty dollars and spend two or three days of supposedly valuable time to see two or three baseball games. Ben Dixon Mac Neill, the brilliant correspondent of the News and Ob server, reports all New Bern struck with the oil craze, and lawyers busy writing leases for anybody from cob blers up. The lessors of land areUhe only sure winners in the lot. They stand to win in either case, the dis covery or non discovery of oil. Chatham is not to be without her share of campaign speeches. The list of appointments for Democratic spell binders as published in this issue will show our readers when and where they may seek enlightenment on the issues of the day. As the appointments are usually for the evening there probably will be large audiences de spite the pressure of work for the next month. i “ . It appeared that the long-hoped for completion of route 60 from Clinton to Wilmington was near and; that tourists could glide through that sec tion without let or hindrances But floods last week swept away the dam in Six Runs swamp with its newly laid hard surface, causing not only heavy loss to the state but also probably a long delay in completion of the road, as the dam is more difficult to re -1 store than the hard surface and will (require considerable time for setting. EDITORIAL Sanity prevails more and more in political and government circles in North Carolina. The latest indication is the decision of the election board to allow the LaFollette tickets to be printed at state expense. The old-time i disposition to disfranchise everyone who felt disposed to vote otherwise tha as the dominant party dictated is fast disappearing. It was nothing but that disposition which caused the pop ulist party to be organized in North Carolina,with resultant fusion, and later Republican ascendancy in Samp son county, particularly. Dr. Ferson, the new dean of law at the University is credited with the purpose to make it harder for nit wits to get license. May he succeed. It is a shame that it has been so easy for one to enter this honorable profession. These days one may be come a licensed attorney in half the time that it requires a fellow to pren pare himself for the practice of med icine. The fconequenoe is the profes sion is overcrowded Enough new lawyers have been licensed the last few years to supply the demand, it would seem, for many years. On the other hand, the shortage of physicians is becoming distressing. ■■ ■ ■ ; Apropos our visit to the meeting of the Sandy Creek Association away down at Aberdeen, we desire" to ex press the repugnance we feel at the historical travesty perpetrated in the course of the years in the detachment of the Sandy Creek from its proper setting. One naturally associates the “Sandy Creek” with Alamance coun ty and the old Sandy Creek Baptist church, the spiritual home of the Reg ulators. But through divisions and modifications of the boundaries of the original Sandy Creek Association, which embraced an immense area in this and other Southern states, it has come to pass that the present Sandy Creek Association does not encompass the old Sandy Creek church at all and lies to the south of Alamance county. One’s respect for fitness of things and his historical sense rebel at a situation so malapropos. Either the name should have been retained by the association embracing the old Sandy Creek church or that historic body should come to the association bearing its name. If Shubal Stehms should arise from his grave at the old Sandy Creek church and attend the Sandy Creek Associa tion away off in the sand hills country and learn that Sandy Creek church does not belong’ to the Sandy Creek Association we can imagine that he ; would feel as Hamlet would if he i ! should arise and attend a performance t of “Hamlet” and find himself banned from the boards.
