THE CHATHAM RECORD
MR. HENRY R. JONES -
CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY
(Contributed)
On Sunday, August 29th at his
beautiful and hospitable country
home near Pittsboro, Mr. Henry Jones
was the recipient of a delightful sur
prise, planned and carried out most
successfuly by his son and wife Mr.
and Mrs. John B. Jones, who make
their home with him.
A number of relatives, friends, and
neighbors had been invited as guests
to greet him and extend cordial con
gratulations on his birthday, number
ing fifty-five summers young. Being
of robust constitution and fine physi
que one would scarcely have thought
him out of the forties.
A while after the noon hour, the
guests were ushered into the dining
room by Mr. and Mrs. John B. Jones
host and liostess, on this splendid oc
casion, where a well spread and sump
tuous birthday dinner was greatly eit
joyed by. all present.
The menu consisted of fried chicken,
old country ham, vegetables in va
riety. jellies, pickles, breads, cream
and cake. Everything was grown and
rfiade at home and served to the
Queen’s taste. It has long been said
of Mr. Jones that he is' “A man who
lives at home and boards at the same
place.”
He owns and cultivates liis farm of
several hundred acres in a most mod
ern way, using much improved ma
chinery which produces abundant
yields, thus proving the efficacy of
such methods. It has been conceded
to him that he has one of the most
beautiful farms in Chatham County.
The old home, of ancestral origin,
where he was born and reared has
been recently remodeled and greatly
| improved by him. It is located on the
‘crest of a beautiful hill, this being
surrounded by other rolling and un
dulating hills and near the banks of
old Rocky River, the stream that is
near and dear to him, where from
boy’ood years he has/waded, paddled,
fished with hook and line, seined,
learned to swim and enjoyed all the
sports of a country boy, which his
city cousins might justly envy. The
same stream his forebears have known
through the years like Tennyson’s
brook it sings the old song, “for men
may come and men may go, but I go
on forever.”
The two story house only recently
has taken on a new coat of white paint
nestling among the greenery of the
trees, with an attractive approach
from the highway. The surrounding
hills present a lovely landscape view,
picturesque and an ideal country
home.
Mr. Jones is a progressive and val
ued citizen of sterling character, up
right and just to his fellow man.
A sorrow recently came to hi?
home, removing his beloved and
splendid wife. It was indeed fitting
that the clouds should have been dis
pelled somewhat for the time being
by this cheering presence of kindly
friends aqd relatives.
The guests were:
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Everett, Dur
ham; Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Mclntyre, Mr.
:and Mrs. Chas. Martin, Gulf; Messrs
i Numa and Carson West, Durham;
j Mrs. W. B. Maxwell and daughters’
j Fayetteville, Mr. and Mrs. F. L. May,
Pittsboro; Mrs*. Henry A. Fields arid
jMr and Mrs. W. W. Fields, Rocky
River; Little Miss Virginia Jones and
baby brother, Master Henry Edward
Jones (grandchildren).
As good-bye’s were said all wished
j for Mr.. Jones many happy returns of
this, his natal day.

PITTSBORO, N. C., CHATHAM COUNTY, THURSDAY, SEPT. 2,1926
r. T. BROOKS DIES
* AT GREENSBORO FRIDAV
Native of Chatham, but for Nearly
Two-Score Years Successful
Lumberman of Greensboro
Readers of the Record will be in-'
crested in the following account oi
:he life and death of a former
CJiathamite who won success in the
late City. The account is from last
Saturday’s Greensboro News:
“Lacking but nine days of attain
ng the age of 84 years and six
months, Timothy Terrell Brooks died
at his home at 703 Nopth Greene
street at 11:30 a. m., on Friday fol
lowing an illness of three weeks dura
tion. A steady loss of strength had
indicated the end was near and when
it came the veteran of life’s service
passed on while members of the im
mediate family were grouped around
the bedside.
“The funeral services will be held
Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the
residence and interment will be made
in Green Hill cemetery.
“Surviving are the widow, Mrs.
Carrie Pollock Brooks, two sons,
Frank Brooks and A. S. Brooks,
of city, three daughters, Sallie
Brooks, Annie Brooks and Louise
Brooks of this city, two brothers, A.
F. Brooks of this city, and John H.
Brooks of Bonlee. two sisters, Mrs.
J. H. Wicker of Sanford and Mrs.
Neil Black of Manchester, and sev
eral grandchildren.
“Since coming to Greensboro in
1888, when he 'left his farm in Chat
ham county, Mr. Brooks had been an
active and honored and successful
figure in the community’s life. Start
ing with a small trade in lumber, a
profitable business was founded and
was in 1895 named' the Brooks Lum
ber T. T. Brooks the
directing head. His interest in the
firm continued until the final illness
although his sons had taken over ac
tive supervision of the business.
“Timothy Terrell Brooks was born
in Hickory Mountain township of
Chatham county on March 5, 1842, the
son of Terrell and Ann Marsh Brooks.
He joined the Southern forces imme
diately after the start of the civil
war and in company K, commanded
by Captain Peebles, saw service in
the 7th North Carolina regiment un
der Colonel Reuben Campbell, of
Statesville.
“The regiment was in the thick of
the fight at Hanover Court house in
May, 1862 and in the seven days
battl# around Richmond the next
month. Here Mr. Brooks was heavily
wounded on June 27 at Gaines’ Mill.
A furlough home followed the long
stay in the hospital but in a short
time, he returned to the front. From
Chancellorsville he marched with his
cor. vades through the varying for
tunes of the Army of Northern Vir
ginia. He was in the terrific battle
at Gettysburg and in the third day
of the test, was captured by the
enemy and sent, a prisoner, to Fort
Delaware. Here and at Point Look
out he was held until April 1924
j when an exchange of prisoners freed
him again for the service of his coun
try, a service which continued until
the surrender at Appomattox.
“With the return of peace, he went
back to Chatham county and again
took up his work as a farmer. Here
he married Ann Dutchess Brooks and
to this union a number of children
were born, the survivors named above.
His first wife died in 1894. In 1912,
Mr. Brooks married Carrie Ella Pol
lock, of Cheraw, S. C.”
A young* man \ ick, of Georgia, and
a ,Mr. Buekhan of Sanford were hurt
in a collision of their cars between
Merry Oaks and Moncure a few days
ago. Vick spent three days in a San
ford hospital. They were both bound
over to court Tuesday by ’Squire
Blair, the .evidence being contra
dictory.

CARROLL FOUGHT OFFICERS
A bunch of officers in Gulf town
ship had to use considerable force
Saturday in arresting West Carroll.
Deputy Straughan and others had
just captured a brandy still and des
troyed about fifteen hundred gallons
of peach mash a few miles southwest
of Gulf. Two men at the still es
caped, but a fellow Philiips who had
hollered to the men to get out, that
the officers were coming, was arrest
ed, and is bound over to court as one
of the results of the rjj^d.
After the still was taken and the
mash destroyed, Carroll and his wife
drove up on the hill near by, where
Deputy Straughan was, cursed that
officer, and threatened to shoot him.
Straughan left and so did Carroll.
The officer went to Gulf and phoned
for assistance from Pittsboro. Sher- j
iff Blair and Deputies Nooe and Lacey
responded.
i The Pittsboro re-inforcement met
Straughan at Gulf and, supposing
Carroil to be well out of the way,
started to the still site for further
investigation, when they came across
Carroll, his wife still with him, m
the road near Gulf cursing Mr.
Straughan’s companions of the raid,
Sam Burke and Eugene Straughan.
He had just threatened to beat h
out of them and to take Phillips away
when he saw the officers get out of
the car. Leaving his threats in the
air, he took to his heels, followed by
! Nooe, Johnson, and Burke. Mr. Nooc
! irst held him up with a -drawn pis
tol, but Carroll was still boisterous
and threatened to kill the whole
I unch. Lacy Johnson finally laid hold
j of him and when the fellow had flung
■ him off two or three times, he tap
j ped him twice over the head with the
t butt of his pistol and tamed him,
i though he still called out to his wife
j to shoot the “scoundrels.”
In the car were found two more
j pistols and a bushel and a half of
malt.
Carroll and his wife were brought
on to Pittsboro, waived the prelim
inary hearing, and were bound over
to court under SIOOO bond each by
’Squire Lucien Johnson.

Epsom Surrey there is a “mosquito*
room,” where Prof. P. G! Shute, gold]
medalist of the College of Pestology,,
rears, with tender care, from 300 to]
500 fine healthy mosquitoes, all* guaf*:
anteed to ferociously, and able]
to iqfect you with any disease do-j
sired. Details of the case, for which;
a ‘‘loan’’ of good biting mosquitoes is]
required, are senj to Professor Shute, J
and lie prqceeds to prepare his n pets” :
for the ordeal. *
In normal paralysis cases, about;
80 will do, though sometimes 200 are‘
required. Shute sees his “pets” get a
Sooj (torn a person suffering
from malaria (ibis may be a bit pain-!
ful for the malaria patient, but it ;
helps to remove the virus, so is cura
tive even in his case). When Shute;
is satisfied his mosquitoes have be
come thoroughly infected with ma-,
laria he sends them to the institution
which has asked for them. _
Feed on the Patient.
On arrival they are allowed to en
joy themselves biting a person suffer-,
ing from paralysis, though the bites
are carefully regulated by the doctors
in charge of the case. One day, per- ...
haps 80 mosquitoes are loosed on the,
patient, the next only 60.
On the fourth or fifth day he'may only:
have to entertain 30 or 40.
When the patient is first bitten his*
temperature rises as high as 105 de- 1
grees Fahrenheit, and it is allowed to;
remain at that until ten readings have*
been taken. Quinine is then admin-! -
istered, the malaria Is treated nor-!
mally, and when it disappears the,
symptoms of paralysis disappear with
it, the majority of cases, at any
rate. ■
Lieut. Col. S. P. James, advisor to
the ministry of health on tropical dis
eases, declares that as a result of
; giving malaria to patients suffering
1 from general paralysis, a new field l
has been found for research into the
terrors of malaria in the tropics.
