The Chatham Record
This is tne date all Chatham Coun
ty is watching with excitement and
interest. >
Reference to the calendar Will
show that the day is net far off—it
will be here and gone before you
know it. And what are you going to
do about it. Your favorite is listed
among the candidates eompetiag in
this friendly battle of wit and votes.
Have you just promised or have you
really assisted them yet? They cer
tainly have proven to you that their
vote total merits assistance when
they proved they were really inter
ested and in the race. Don’t forget
“a friend in need is a friend indeed”
and within the next few days assist
a friend before the campaign is over.
Trade Cards
I Job printing and advertising cards
now being offered are the same as
I cash in payment for advertising and
! job printing and are redeemable with
in one year. If merchants intend to
use the best possible medium of
reaching the homes and persons of
Chatham’s trade territory, they cer
tainly cannot find a better medium.
With the extra 100,000 votes on
every two 5-year subscriptions your
vote totals can run into the million
mark with only ten such clubs. Surely
you have ten or twenty such friends
who can realise the difference be
tween a few dollars and a $865.00
Essex Coach. Make you a list of them
J and go after them $865.00 worth.
Honor Roll
! During the two weeks of the third
period of the campaign a daily bonus
of 100,000 votes will be given to
the one leading each day in a compe
tition, the terms of which are an
nounced in advance to all workers.
, This is being given for the greatest

COUNTY AGENT’S LETTER
A meeting of- the Chatham County •
Farmer’s Union was held on Saturday.
iat Bonlee. Thirty-five representative j
members from different sections of the
| county were present.. At this meet- j
! ing, it was decided to select a member,
) for the purpose of building up certain |
local chapters in this county, and
make a drive for more members, and
a stronger local organization. Mr.;
Benton Andrews was designated to do j
this work. . •
The following officers were elected!
at this Meeting: vrof. P. Li. Nance, j
president; Mr. N. R. Dixon, vice-presi
dent; and Mr. Wall Andrews, secre-!
tary. Plans were made for the co
operative purchasing of. fertilizers,;
and the County Agent emphasized the !
necessity of conducting different fer
tiliser tests on different soli types
in the county this spring, in order to
determine what fertilizers are best 1
for certain soils. Sevearl men pres- j
ent at the meeting agreed to do this
work in cooperation with 4he Agent,j
and others also agreed to put a certain j
acreage in Permanent Pastures for j

.hat is too stumpy or rocky for culti- i
‘ vatioii can be utilized in this way. ;

ONLY SIX PAGES
Owing to circumstances the Record :
has only six pages this week'. It is ;
later of issue 100 than expected be- j
cause of the bursting of a pulley
wheel. This thirty-inch wooden pul
ley, .owing to an uncaicuiated speea
ing up by the boy wio was fixing a
belt, simply flew to pieces, half of ii
oemg hurled as from a catapult and
narrowly missing causing a fatility.
There is very little difference in hav
ing a boom shell barely miss one and
having half of such a wheel hur*ed
by one’s ears so fast that it could
scarcely be seen. Another v/heel was
secured by the kindness cf the Ashe
boro Wheelbarrow Company and the
