MS SOLICITOR §o} SHERIFF ARE I MOST important IpjhJical Recorder Says Present I Race More Than Matter of Mere Politics Church membership I X \OT TEST, SAYS EDITOR Dr. Livingston Johnston Is Urg ing Readers To Use Great Care In Casting Their Votes For Sheriff and Solicitor In Coining Primary: Same Stand as Stanbury (News and Observer) Taking the same stand that was *«taken by Dr. W. A. Stanbury in a ■ recent sermon at Edenton Street ■ Methodist Church, Dr. Livingston ■ Johnson, editor of the Biblical Re ■ corder, in an editorial in the cuhrent I | ssue of the organ of the Baptist de ■ nomination in North Carolina urges I his readers to “exercise great care in I casting their votes, especially for the I ni en to whom is committed the duty ■ of seeing that the law is enforced.” “If this were a matter of mere poli- I tics, this paper would have nothing to I say about it but great moral issues I are involved,” declares the editorial I which begins with the assertion: I “Perhaps the two most important of- I fices to be voted for in the approaeh- I ing primary are sheriff and solicitor.” “It ought to go w'ithout saying,” I declares the editorial that a man I who is a member of a church can be I put down as a moral man and a law- I abiding citizen; but alas! such is not I always the case. Sometimes a mar I who holds a high position in a church I has the reputation of being immoral, I and of sympathizing with violators of I the prohibition law.” Dr. Johnson’s Editorial The editorial follows in full: “Perhaps the two most important I orTlcers to be voted for in the ap f preaching primary are sheriff and I solicitor. The solicitor prosecutes ■ those charged with crime, but he can- F not do this unless the offenders are ■ apprehended and brought to court. This is specifically the duty of the sheriff. A sheriff and solicitor should both be known as moral, law-abiding citizens. If they themselves are vio lators of the law, or are in sympathy with those who do violate it, we can not suppress lawlessness. The soli citor may do his duty, but the first step must be taken by the sheriff. "It ought to go without saying that a man who is a member of a church can be put down as a moral man and law-abiding citizen but alas! such is not always the case. Sometimes a man who holds a high position in a church has the reputation of being immoral, and of sympathizing with violators of the prohibition law. “While it is necessary to have good men fill all our offices, it is of su preme importance that the sheriff and solicitor be men whose reputa tions are unsullied. If this were a matter of mere politics, this paper would have nothing to say about it, but great moral issues, are involved and for this reason we are urging our readers to exercise great care in casting their votes, especially for the men to whom are committed the duty of seeing that the law is en forced.” Addressing his congregation on Sunday, May 16, Dr. Stanbury said: “Perhaps the issue between the moral and 'immoral elements in our country have never been clearer, in exact proportion, the duty of Chris tian men and women, who have the protection of youth and family life trom the corruptions incident to the oootleg liquor traffic and from the befoulments of unhindered vice, at heart, is also clear. It is their duty as children of light, to be as vise and as watchful and as active as the children of this world. It is their duty to be as truly and as vigorous ly Christian when they vote in June as when they worship and pray and listen to sermons this Sunday morn ing in May.”—Pol. Adv. A GOOD CHURCH MEETING The Woman’s Auxiliary of St. Bar tholemew’s Episcopal church met with 0 S ‘ Arthur H. London Thursday af ternoon.

TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF CHATHAM COUNTY: I understand that it is being cor culated throughout the county that if I am nominated and elected Sheriff that I would not put forth any effort to enforce the prohibition law. The report is also being circulated by my enemies that I am not a prohibi tionist. I wish to correct these false and malicious statements so far as possible. These statements certainly must have been started by my poli tical enemies. I do not believe that they were started, or circulated, by my opponent, Sheriff Blair, for he knows me well enough to know that the statements are not true, and I know he is too much of a gentleman to be a party to such false and mili cious statements. If nominated and elected Sheriff of this county I pledge myself to do all in my power towards law enforce ment, and especially towards enforce ment of the prohibition law. Os course, I want al lthe support I can get from the voters in the-Primary on next Saturday, but I want to say most emphatically that if anyone votes for me with the hope or expec tation that the prohibition law en forcement in this county will be lightened, or overlooked in the least respect, this one will be most sadly mistaken, for it will be my expecta tion to maintain the high standard set by my opponent and his prede cessors in office. It hurts me to think that such false and malicious reports should have been circulated, for I do feel that both my private and public life has been so conducted that the people of this county should not question or doubt that I am in favor of strict enforcement of the prohibition law. I trust that I have made myself clear, and I hope that it can be said that no one has cast his vote against me for fear that I will not enforce the prohibition law; also that no one will cast his vote for me, thinking that he will weaken enforcement of the prohibition law in Chatham Coun ty.

B«ar Creek. N. C., May 31. —Jimmie . Hancock, known all over this sec tion as “Little Jim,” died Sunday afternoon at 12:45 in Scott’s Hospital at Sanford. This is one of the saddest deaths that has occurred recently in this community. Little Jim attended an ice-cream supper at Mr. W. A. Phil lips’ Saturday night and at midnight so , me J , b . oys . called Mr. Phillips and asked him if they might place him in his barn and if he would not look af him. Sunday morning when Mr. Phillips went out to feed his stock he found Jimmie in the barn unconscious and struggling for breath. He noti fied his brother, George H. Hancock, who immediately carried him to Glen don where Dr. M. E. Street examined him and state that he was suffering from a cerebral hemmorage and ad vised that he be carried at once to a hospital where something might be done for him. He was then carried to another brother’s home, Mr. John H. Hancock, who took him in his car to the Scott hospital, where he passed away at a quarter to 1:00 p. m. He was buried at Tyson’s Creek , Baptist Church at 4:00 p. m., Mon , day, the service being conducted by Rev. Grover C. Phillips, who read Job 14 and spoke from 2 Kings 20:1. - A very large crowd attended the fun eral service, many not being able to get a seat in the church. , Mr. Hancock was bom March 20, 1873 and was a son of Mr. Mack Han cock and Mrs. Parlee (Smith) Han cock, who later married Mr. Thomas Gerrey. He is survived by two full brothers, Messrs. George H. and John M. Hancock and by five half brothers and sisters, -Messrs. Oscar and William Gerrey ms H. B. Phillips, C. H. Wilkie and G. H. Shuskey. Also one half brother by marriage, Mr. T. H. Gerrey. The Gerrey s all live in Walnut Cove ex cept Mrs. Phillips, who lives at Siler City and Mrs. Wilkie, who lives at Bear Creek, Route 1. The Hancocks live near the old home place where they were reared about three miles Southwest of Bear Creek. Up until he was thirty-five years of age Mr. Hancock’s average weight was only about 50 pounds, but he reached the weight of around 100 pounds at the time of his death. His father’s average weight was thirty five pounds and he was but thirty in ches in height, being one of the smallest men cv.r; hir-e lived in this section. We understand that he had six children born to him and his good wife (who was a large woman, weighing 250 pounds) three of them were small, like their father and three cf them were of average size. Two of the small ones died in infancy and one of the larger, the other three, John, George and Jimmie, living to maturity. Little Jimmie was loved by every body who knew him, was of a most congenial and friendly disposition, full of life and humor, and was the warm friend of every person he knew. We shall miss his familiar form as he went from place to among his friends. The writer would com mend his sorrowing people to Him who is ever the comfort arc! help of those who suffer grief. He doeth . all things well. GROVER C. PHILLIPS. Bear Creek, N. C., May 31, 1926. COMMENDS COMMISSIONERS AND SUPT. A. T. WARD Editor The Chatham Record, I wish to commend our County Corn > 'missioners for one of the most for ward steps taken for the interest of Chatham County. As a citizen of l Chatham I am sure that ninety per cent of the people of this County ap prove and will continue to laud them for their wise decision when they de . cided to give Chatham County road ! manager to work out a system cf [ building and maintaining our roads. I think our Board was very for tunate indeed, and are to be con gratulated for their ability to reach [ out and secure from our State High ’ 'way a man of experience and ability [ in the person of Mr. A. T. Ward for \ this position. Mr. Ward is no stranger here; he served two years as County Commissioner, and four f years with State Highway Com \ mission; and he is familiar with our r local road conditions. He will make an excellent load manager. I know Mr. Ward personally, and will say ’ that he has a reputation without re s proach; he is a gentleman of courage | and ability, and will work for the best . interests of the County. I wish to thank Mr. Ward person -1 ally for the excellent condition he has , our roads in, at the present time. I drive over the roads quite often and will say that I have seen quite a . change for the better. I believe, at the present rate, within two yearg Chatham will be second to no county in the State in good roads. It is won derful to see the transformation tak ing place over the county. Roads are . being widened; rocks removed; and short links built connecting the roads i with our Highway system; making i it possible to alive in almost auy ui i rection over the county; and thereby saving many miles for the traveler. > Bynum, N. C., May 31st, 1926. T. A. THOMPSON Mrs. W. B. Chapin, after spending several weeks in a Richmond hos pital, arrived home a few days ago greatly improved. THE AVENT FERRY BRIDGE Lee and Chatham Make It a 50-50 Job —Contract to be Let—Main Bridge 540 Feet I Discussing the action of the Lee and Chatham commissioners in a jqjfit session at Pittsboro Friday, May 23, with regard to building a bridge a cross the Cape Fear at A vent’s Ferry, the Sanford Express says: ‘•For several years the question of constructing a bridge across the Cape Fear River at Avent’s Ferry has been discussed by people on both sides of the river and by the commissioners of both Lee and Chatham. Meetings were held from time to time, but it seemed it was hard for the commis sioners of the two counties to get together on any proposition proposed. But it seems that during the past few weeks the matter has taken concrete shape and there is bright prospect of the proposed bridge being built in the near future. Some time ago the matter of mak ing the surveys and the estimate of the cost of the bridge was placed in the hands of Gilbert C. White Com pany, civil engineers, of Durham. They came down, made the survey and submitted a report of the cost of the bridge to the commissioners of the two counties. According to their estimate a steel bridge would cost $60,000 and concrete bridge $75,000. This is the cost of the bridge proper and does not in cline the cost of the approaches api perhaps one or two small bridges leading to the main bridge. Accord ing to the report the main bridge would be 540 feet long. It is esti mated that a short bridge on this side of the river would cost Lee county about 16,000. This does not include the entire cost of the Lee county approach. Chatham county, would, of course build the approach on the other side of The river. The river bridge can be constructed and used without building the small bridge at this time. Very seldom the water would be high enough to prevent peo ple from crossing the river bridge. The commissioners of the two counties met at Pittsboro last Friday and after discussing the matter from every angle passed a resolution order ing that the bridge be advertised for letting, with the proviso that any and all bids can be rejected should the commissioners of the two counties find this course advisable. Bonds will probably be issued by the two counties for the construction of the bridge. According to the contract with Gil bert C. White Company should the bridge be built they are to draw six per cent of the cost of the structure for making measurements, soundings, estimates, and other service rendered j in connection with the preliminary surveys. Should the commissioners of the two counties decide not to build the bridge the surveyors would be paid not exceeding 2 per cent for service rendered.. The commissioners who attended the joint meeting from this county were Chairman T. A. Rid dle, W. Gilliam Brown and Percy Sey mour. They were accompanied by County Attorney W. R. Williams and County Auditor J. M. Clark.” COURT CALENDAR Court calendar for criminal term, commencing June 7th, 1926. Hon. N. A. Sinclair, Judge Presiding.

Durham says anybody that has read the Bible knows, that it does not mention anywhere in the ten commandments not voting for Dewey Dorsett, but it does command us not to bear false witness against our neighbor and to love our neighbor as our selves, anjl if Sheriff Blair is not our neighbor who is? But I do not say Mr. Dorsett has failed, but somebody has reported things per haps on all and I fear we do not love our neighbors as ourselves.
