Erecting an Additional Building 100x30 Feet It is gratifying to learn that the Odell Manufacturing Company is en larging its plant at Bynum by the addition of a building 100x30 feet. The foundation is already laid and bricks are being placed upon the ground for the erection of the walls. This mill is a -very successful qne, and it is evident that the increase in size is justified by the success of the present management. It cannot be stated how many additional spindles will be added, but the addition should give employment to quite a number of hands.

HALIFAX DAY AT PITTSBORO Pittsboro observed Halifax Day Monday, April 12 with appropriate exercises at the school in which a number of the citizens of the town participated. Mr. R. G. Shannonhouse, rector of the Episcopal church, opened the programme with prayer. The state songs, “Ho for Carolina” and “The Old North State” were sung by , the school. Miss Clyde Edwards read the Governor’s Proclamation. Attorney D. L. Bell, in a short ad dress, gave a very concise summary of the causes which led up to the Hali fax Resolve; read the resolution which was our Declaration of Independence nnd emphasized the importance of our annual observance of the 12th of April. Os interest to many who have re cently become Chathamites were the names of those who were delegates to the convention from this county. They were Ambrose Ramsey, Joshua Rosser, Jeduthan Harper, John Thompson, and Elisha Cane. Most of these names are still familiar ones in, the county. * Another interesting feature of the programme was the presentation of a beautiful North Carolina flag to the school by the children of the Con federacy. The Henry London Chap ; ter. > It, was presented with a few well-chosen words by the leader of the chapter,. Mass Carrie Jackson, and very eloquently received by the prin -1 cipal of the school, Mr. A. V. Nolan. THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION Marion Butler was overwhelmingly outvoted on his organization plan at the Republican State Convention held at Durham last Thursday. However, a large part of the 'reform demanded by him was adopted at the instance of the new national committeeman Hayes, who seems easily to have as sumed the leadership of the party. Very little interest seems to have been taken in the nomination of can didates for the state offices. Chas. A. Cannon of Concord was nominated for the U. S. senate. He is a member of the great cotton mill family. It is hardly expected that he will accept i the nomination. His name was pre sented by Butler. J. J. Jenkins, of Siler City, a can didate for the ' state chairmanship, did not get that position, which was given to Brownlow Jackson, U. S. marshal for the western district of this state, who will give up his job and devote his attention to the politi cal affairs of his party. Mr. Jenkins was nominated for corporation com missioner. All Republicans attending from Chatham were accounted delegates and included the following and pos sibly others whose names the Record has not secured: J. J. Jenkins, Mrs. Jenkins, S. D. Johnson, R. H. Dixon, Walter John son, Junius Matthews, Joe W. Moore, W. B. Moore, J. C. Fesmire, M. H. Woody, J. E. Bryan, Mrs. S. D: John son, Mrs. C. E. Bryan, Mrs. J. W. Moore, S. M. Johnson, L. P. Dixon, Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Wrenn. A few Chatham Democrats were on-lookers. FIRE DESTROYS WING OF STATE HOSPITAL No Lives Lost—Occupants Housed at Penitentiary—Loss Estimated at $500,000 Fire destroyed one wing of the State Hospital for the Insane at Ra leigh Saturday afternoon, but fortu nately all the unfortunates occupying the building were saved from a fiery death. The hundreds of insane were quick ly marshaled and marched to the peni tentiary, where they will have to be housed till the burned quarters are restored It develops that the building was without automatic sprinkling devices, which contributed great jy to the dan ger to the lives of the patients. The Legislature has been asked time and again, it is stated, for an appropri ation for a sprinkling system, but false economy denied it. It also de veloped that the water pressure was insufficient to make fire-fighting as 3ffectual as it should have been, and Governor McLean announces that an investigation will be made to dis cover if there was any defect in the piping put in only a few years ago. Steps are being taken to rebuild immediately. The insurance money will be augmented by a loan negoti ated by the council of state. The Durham fire department ar rived in the nick of time to prevent further spread ol the Are. PITTSBORO. N. C„ CHATHAM COUNTY, Thursday,, April 15, 1926 Bella , School News.

NO. 32 CLASS RSUmONS AT UNIVERSITY FINALS (The Chapel HHK Weekly) Officers of about a score of University classes extending back over a period of forty years—met in the Carolina Ton last Saturday to lay plans for the reunions at this coming com mencement. Francis 0. Clark son of Charlotte, alumni mar shal, was the chairman of the gathering. This promises to be the great est reunion year in the history of the University, The number of returning alumni will be in creased, it is thought, because of the week-end schedule, Friday, June 4, to Monday, June 7. It is easier for men to get away from their regular affairs then than in the middle of the week. The class suppers will take place Friday evening, and Satur day will be alumni day. Thirty-two classes are booked ‘ for reunions this year: 1861, 1862,1863, 1866, 1867, 1868, 1881, 1882, 1883, 1886, 1887, 1888, 1891, 1892, 1893, 1896, 1897, 1898, 1901, 1902, 1903, 1906, 1911, 1912, 1913, 1916, 1917, 1918, 1921, 1922, 1923, and 1925. The reason for this unusual schedule is that the General Alumni Association has adopted the so-called Dix plan. The es sence of this plan is that the members of a class shall come back at the same time as mem bers of the classes that were in college with them, instead of at five-year intervals. Thus the returning alumnus is enabled to see many of his old friends in neighboring classes as well as in his own. - This is the “bridging-over” year, to change from t*he old plan to the Dix plan. The latter will go into full effect in 1927. At the meeting last Saturday a considerable part of the time was devoted to a discussion of making the reunions more en joyable to alumni—which re sult can be achieved, of course, only by a reduction in the vol ume of useless and tiresome speechmaking. It was unanimously agreed that the business meeting of the Alumni Association Saturday morning, June 5, would be de voted strictly to business, unac companied by oratory, and would be brought to a close as soon as possible. Then will come an hour or so of free' time for loaf ing about the campus, and the alumni luncheon will begin at one o'clock in Swain Hall. Dr. Mangum suggested that the band play under the Davie pop lar in the interval between the business session and the eon, and this received hearty ap proval. In the evening, at half past eight o'clock, will come the Alumni Assembly—a social gathering for all alumni, their families and their friends. It is not to be a 'ball, yet there may be some incidental dancing. It is not to be a theatrical or musi cal entertainment, yet there may be a few scattered musical and dramatic numbers. Daniel L. Grant, Alumni Secretary, told the assembled class officers of the measures that would be taken to accom modate the alumni. At least one of the University dormitories will be turned over to those who bring their wives and daughters with them. The stags will be quartered in the quadrangle dormitories. It is likely that the main Lobby of the Library will be used as Alumni Headquarters.
