A Good Sermon
We wish everybody in Pittsboro
could have heard Rector Shannon
house’s sermon Sunday. It is grati
fying to know that this preacher
realizes that the mental state of the
people has changed the last quarter
of a century and is able to adapt his
sermons to the changed times and
conditions without sacrificing any of
the fundamental conceptions of true
Christianity. This was the first Len
ten service and was beautiful and im
. pressive.
A Contrast
j Abysmal ignorance is discovered
where one might expect at least an
j ordinary knowledge of geography if
not of history and literature. “Cor
j inth” was evidently a new name to a
I certain sojourner here. It took him
three weeks to approximate its pro
nunciation. It was surprising that
1 1 one could grow up in this land of
j privilege and not have heard of the
i rgeat Grecian city, so that he could
1 , readily identify the source of the
name of the eastern Chatham village.
On the other hand, one finds some
times a degree of culture that he is
not expecting. A knowledge of
Greek is usually considered almost a
sure mark of exceptional culture, and
to discover that one whom you have
not thought of as a college bred man
knows his Greek is rather gratifying.
The surprise and gratification came
when we accidentally discovered Capt.
B. Nooe’s Greek lexicon. We knew
that he was different but were nqjL
prepared to find him interested in the
world’s most finished and elegant
language. The old-time academy is
the explanation. He was reared in
Lexington, and in those days the
North Carolina towns had no great
j school buildings with swarms of
: teachers and pupils. But what school
work was done was of a high grade.
Some of the finest teaching talent in
! the state was devoted to a bare hand
ful of boys. Mathematics, Latin,
Greek, and English were the principal,
if not the only, subjects taught, and
the effects of such a curriculum are
to be noted today in such urbane
gentlemen as Capt. Nooe. “Corinth”
tis no now name to him.
Red Hillers Good Runners
Deputy J. B. Stinson of Gulf town
ship in our office just now was tell
ing us of some tough customers in the
Red Hill section whom he is anxious
to lay hands • on, but it seems that
they are better runners than the of
ficers. Here’s hoping* that one of
these days they will be caught nap
ping and shall be made to pay the
penalty for their attempts at the de
moralization cf that section of the
/county.
HOTEL FOR SILER CITY
IG.-Room Building to Be Erected by
D. L. Johnson—To Be Com
pleted by July 1
Siler City, Feb. 20. —Material is be
ing placed on the ground for the con
struction of a new hotel for Siler
City to be located directly in front
l of W. A. Header’s residence. The lot
on which this new building will be

j the owners and proprietors of the
new enterprise. s
The building, w-hich will be of brick
and two stories high will contain 40
bedrooms, eight baths, hot and cold
water in each room and will be other
wise modernly equipped throughout,

The work is being done by a local
contractor who expects to finish the
job not later than July Ist.
Top soil is rapidly being placed on

this place toward Sanford and already
relief is being experienced by the

SILER CITY NEWS
School Now Functioning—Miss Rabey
Fully Exonerated—Two New
Teachers
Siler City, Feb. 17. —Agitated as
perhaps never before in theii* lives
were the scores of citizens of Siler
City school district No. 1 who gath
ered about the streets yesterday af
ternoon to learn the result of the
proposed hearing of the testimpny for
and against Miss Susie L. Rafiey, who,
February 1, was, asked by the school
board to resign as English teacher in
the high school department. No
charges were at that time preferred
against her, though her demand that
specific charges be filed resulted in
the boards furnishing her with the
following together with the notifica
tion that the board was asking coun-,
ty superintendent W. R. Thompson to
dismiss her:
“First: Lack of cooperation with
the principal in matters of discipline
and instruction.
Second: Appealing to the emotions
of the pupils, causing them to show a
spirit of disrespect and disobediance
to the principal and other teachers.
Third: Instilling in the minds of
the pupils that they do not have e
nough freedom.
Fourth: Attitude towards the pu
pils suspended in presenting them
flowers and giving them social enter
tainment and undue attention.
Fifth: Making derogatory re
marks about other teachers in the
high school faculty."
Steadfastly denying these charges,
Miss Rabey supported almost to a
unit by the high school pupils and a
large per cent of the patrons request
ed a hearing which was set by the
county superintendent to be held yes
terday at 2 o’clock in the Chatham
Bank office before him and the local
board. In the meantime all the high
school department had been closed
down for nearly two weeks due to the
fact that there had been a whole
sale resignation of all members of
the faculty except that of Miss Ra*-
bey following the indefinite suspen
sion of five members of the senior
class.
Sunday Miss Rabey’s brother, an
attorney of Suffolk, Virginia, arrived
to be with her and yesterday morning
a prominent lawyer of Raleigh ap
peared on the scene. During the day
prominent citizens worked hard as
mediators between the school board
and the Rabeys to effect a compro
mise without the scheduled hearing,
which it would have been difficult to
have held as planned as the large
crowd gathered were determined to
be present.
It was near sundown when a com
promise was reached and announce
ment was made from the front of
the local newspaper office, where the
crowd was waiting with Miss Rabey
in its midst that the board had with
drawn all charges, exonerated her
fully and furnished her proper in
dorsement of her qualifications as a
reputable and first class teacher. At
the same time Miss Rabey’s resigna
tion was tendered the board and after
several days visit here with friends
she will return to her home at Suf
folk.
All departments of the school are
now running except that of domestic
science, the instructor in that de
partment, Miss Thomasson, having
her resignation accepted and also that
of J. H. Moore, history teacher, be
ing accepted ten days ago. The va
cancies of Miss Rabey and Mr. Moore

dismissed were given certificates of
good standing together with credits

We learn that the county commis
sioners have rut on a road superin
tendent for this county, Mr. Don
Ward of Bynum. This we think is
a wise move of the commissioners as
the road man in this end of the coun
ty has so much road that he can’t
half keep the road up, causmg the
expense to be a great deal lurher, as
we almost have to build new roads
over the ones we already have. We
learn that the commissioners and the
superintendent have in mind to divide
the roads into sections and appoint a
man in each section to keep the roads
in shape. This is a good idea, if men
are chosen who will use judgment and
attend to the reads at the proper
time.

We are trying to get the subscrip

are: Is there a mistake in the initials ?
Should the credit be given to R. L.

in saying he is an “old subscriber.”

please drop us a card and give right

HOW TO HELP MAINTAIN
THE PROHIBITION LAV[
Dear Brother Editor:
For some weeks agents of the liquor
interests have been canvassing most
ly in the cities and towns of this
state securing signers to petitions
asking for the weakening of our liquor
laws and seeking through a “Wine
and Beer” amendment to. get an en
tering wedge by which they can
bring back the liquor traffic. Our
religious papers, our pastors and our
churches fought long and prayed
earnestly to outlaw 'the liquor trof
fic in North Carolina and in -this
nation. We cannot afford now, to let
these paid agents of the brewery in
terests and the corrupt politicians de
lude our neople into cutting a bole
through the prohibition dyke which,
by uoHed effort and hard work, we
have built around this state and a
round our nation.
I write to urge pastors, temperance
leaders and all friends of prohibi
tion. in the churches to at once secure
the adoption of a resolution by their
churches urging our congressmen and
senators to stand by the laws Which
we have enacted, and, in every pos
sible way seek to strengthen these
laws and make them more effect!™*.
Send the resolutions to me and I will
forward them in bundles to your con
gressmen. I submit below a simple
form which may be followed with
any changes that may seem proner.
I.w’ould suggest further that Cham
bers of Commerce, Women’s Clubs,
Civic Clubs, Fraternal Orders and
other groups might follow out this
suggestion. If our people w.I. heed
this simple hint we can give to our
representatives some much needed co
operation and encouragement. This is
one of the most effective ways by
which the Lord’s people can combat
the efforts of the Devil’s friends.
r Verv sincerelv yours.
N. C. ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE,
C. A. Upchurch, Supt.
To * M. C.
This resolution is from Church.
At our last regular business meet
ing it was voted that We send you
our endorsement of the prohibition
laws as they are now written on the
statute bocks. We urge you to up
hold the laws which we have and, to
seek in every honorable way, to
strengthen them and secure better en
forcement cf same.
