Durham Owns a Stradivarius * . • /*' * - - - - - - ' In view of the .number of old violins being reported recently in the state press, it is interesting to note that Chatham is not without a Strad ivarius, and one that its owner claims can compete with any reported in age or condition. It belongs to Capt. W. S. Durham, of Siler City, who says that the inscription on the back of the old and valuable instrument reads: “Antonitus Stradivarius Cre monifit Faciebat Anno 1716.” But somehow that inscription, if report ed correctly, looks “different.” If genuine, the instrument is 210 years old, and is probably one of the earli er creations of the noted violin mak er of Cremona. The Latin is appar ently mixed, and the tense not the usual. Capt. Durham wonders what the instrument is worth. If genuine, there is no question that it is ex ceedingly valuable, that is, if it has the tonal values of the usual Stradi varius. Colored Teachers Last Meeting The last Reading Circle meeting of the colored Teachers met at the Pub lic school in Pittsboro on Friday, March 26. The day was very in clement at the time the teachers should have been leaving their homes and as many had to come long dis tances, consequently it was a little late before a sufficient number gath ered for the opening. A good working number having gathered, Rev. Roberts conducted the opening exercises and Prof. Thomp son .then proceeded to outline the five chapters of book and teacb e ?« discuss the methods arid -.their ways of presenting subject matter. ; Dinner was served by the . com munity mothers and the teachers of the school which was voted a treat,, in the way of refreshments. As most of the reading done in life is silent reading, that was stressed but not to the detriment of oral read ing. I It was generally conceded that the j most practical suggestion .got. from the book from the writer’s stand point is to teach the most we can in the time given to the average child in the rural districts, use the methods and devices that will stimulate a de sire to read and like Kipling’s “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep,” cause the child to want to read all the books in the world.

LIQUOR, GUNS AND WOMEN \ Sunday a very deplorable, thing took place in front of the colored Con gregational church at Haywood. The Knights Os Pythians and the Court of Colanthe, both fraternal and insurance organizations, had assem bled at the church for their yearly Thanksgiving and annual sermon. Immediately after the writer had responded to the welcome address on behalf of the Colanthekns and given out some information from the insurance office in regards to Safety’ First, the sound of a pistol fired in rapid succession broke the solemnity of the occasion. Os course, as natural, everyone ran to see—some even jumped from win dows, being barred at the door by the swords of the Knights—(but the Knights couldn’t resist to see them selves and took those swords down). 0. Crßbnds a N. C. negro - —awd Harts Corbett, S. C., were the parties involved. It seems that Harts lives in C. C.’s house and had failed to pay his rent. When he called for collection, the wife took offence and claims that the landlord was'not re spectful in his remarks to her. Harts works for the Carolina Power and Light Co. He proceeded to the avowed purpose of getting C. C. with his gun, which he did. .* Breaking up, for a time, the meet ing, threw a good woman into fits, and caused some inore nervous at tahk up Sunday and she and he came to church Sunday it is understood for tacks. The real folks here do wish that something be done to punish such base offenders of the law. How can we raise up good citizens out of our boys and girls when such per sons are allowed in the community. Harts Was arrested by the Sir Knights. Officers Wicker was quick ly on the scefie and escorted him and his madam to the county seat, to see what the county hotel looked like. f. V. CRUMP. Former Chatham Minister Writes A letter from Rev. A. H. Andrews of Sectiop, Ala., contains greetings for the many readers of the Record whom he knows and an earnest wish that the Lord may bless them and all ethers. Especially does he wish that those who do not know the Lord should find Him, for “it is so glorious and wonderful to know and follow Him.” He says that he is enjoying iiis work in Alabama and urges all Christians to be active in the work of leading souls to Jesus.
