PAGE TWO The Chatham Re cord. O. J. PETERSON Editor and Publisher Subscription Price One Year $1.50 Six Months - *75 Chatham county should not have to buy a ton of feed next year. A dollar saved is more than made. Stop the outpour of dollars for hay, oats, etc. Plant winter crops. There is no time to waste. Just as soon as the ground is wet enough to plow, the lands should he prepared. It wfil likely be too wet within a short while, and the season too far advanced. The next three weeks should be the busiest in the history of the .county. Corn will remain in the field wiuiouc serious injury. Let the farmers .get busy on the important thing that cannot be postponed. It has been demonstrated this year that a fair crop of corn •can be raised after the time for gath ering small grain. There will be lit tle need for cotton land next year. Therefore farmers may ?ilanl their best land in winter crops, and then plant late crops after narvest next June. It is not only a matter of get ting through this >year. It is a matter •of planning to make the farm prof itable next year. INot a minute is to Doe lost. The writer was much interested in lieing shown .the .first book of Chatham •county records, beginning with the -foundation of she jeounty in 1770. William Hooper, a resident of Hills boro, was the first clerk, and page :after pqge of the book is inscribed in that celebrated patriot’s hand, a strong, smooth ?chirography r .and as j legible today as if it had oeen writ ten a year ago instead of 156 years ago. He was followed as clerk by .Joel lane, Lthe mum whose farm was bought for the location of the state] capital. That distinguished gentle man, too. wrota clearly and legibly. The third clerk was William Alston. We that the United States and North Carolina history teachers in the school bring their classes over to the .court house and get Judge Walter .Siler to show’them some of the historic documents in the archives. A good question for .each chiid right off hand when you read this is, What made "William Hooper famous? Destruction was abroad last week. A great storm destroyed hundreds of lives in Cuba and millions of prop erty, while fin Armenia <a iterrific earth quake took great toll of life and prop erty. ITht Red Cross constantly has crlis upon in for relief. Note the? •call for membership and join if you! yourself are not needy. j There are greater honors but none! more fitfingrlry -awarded tlimt that be stowed upon Mrs. B. N. Duke in the naming of one of the literary socie ties in Pineland Junior College the M ary Duke Society. To the benefi cence of B. N. Duke that school and several other small schools owe their larger .existence. In daact, :if it hadn’t been for the thousands of dollars B. JN. Duke bestowed upon Trinity Col lege in its leaner days, there wouldn’t have been so much ’Trinity to benefit i .from the millions of J. B. Duke. , The election k .at hand. Gs <out and vote and keep your interest alive. There are great principles to come be fore the people sooner or later, even if there .seems to he no means at present for a Chatham voter to d*. more than register his vote for hi choice for the several offices. It is strange how one can scarcel; 1 escape some folk and altogether mis. others for years. This writer hearc Vance speak three or four times be fore the former was 21 years old. Jarvis was a comparatively familiar figure. Though out of the state U years, yet the writer has had th privilege of knowing nearly all thr older statesmen of North Carolina Yet there have been two notable ex ceptions. Till today we have never laid eyes upon F. M. Simmons, an till last Thursday had never seen E W. Pou, though the writer and h were reared in adjoining counties Probably the best is saved for the last. Certainly, we were delighted with the mental qualities of Mr. Pot when we heard him Thursday. Mr Pou, judging by a tribute in'Ashe’s history to the elder E. W. Pou, cf rc construction days, comes honestly b; his mental strength and moral kite grity. Add another million bales to th surplus stock of cotton. A real es fort is being made to effect plan for storing several millions of bale for tv/o years and securing pledges t cut the crop 25 per cent, next yea: Whether this is done or not. it w” be only a fool who will depend to th usual extent upon cotton next yea If the surplus shall be stored, a noth er big crop would ruin prices forth 1927 crop as well as prevent the sal of the surplus of the 1926 crop. Cor seauently, a short cotton crop next year is necessary. But the Chatham county farmer trust look ahead. He wants to utilise his land and his time. I\ov is uhc time to begin. Plant plen ty of winter grain and feed crops. Dr. W. W. Faison, superintendent of tne Eastern Insane Asylum for Negroes at Goldsboro, is dead. Dr. Faison was an oldfashioned gentleman Moreover, he was not on:y' a compe tent official but a .seif-sacr.dicing o r His was r.o sinecure. His position meant work and unpleasant work But he achieved glorious y. Hot on whisper of scandal has c-ver bee: trer.sh ' about the management o the Eaoto n Insane Asylum. ?hal inst-. uti'n mio. to do on loss pc.* .coy • its. than, tne institutions fov the whites, we believe. It took good management to make ends moot, but toev met. The good doctor was of the good old Samp son county family of his name. The latest government e r t*’vn J 7' of the. cotton crop is 17,454,000 bales, tile oVwi* iiiiiuv in -cae i country. Os this huge crop only half was g.nned up to Oct. 15. It is quite ; certain that much of the crop will remain in the fields if the present price of 11 cents continues. Even m uee county tue Express reports ten ants leaving the farms with cotton unpicked, as mere is notmng m it for them. Yet it is difficult to see . wuat an the lout wouiu uo it they * .-mould decide that picking cotton pays , too little. Fortunately, Chatham folk are in -3 ured to hard times. The two former r bad crops has taught many of tnem 3 i now to skimp tnrough. Besides, Chatham’s woods are still ready to 3 I lurmsn crossties and cedar poms. An -3 omer fortunate tmng is mat many s Wiio have former.y boug.it on a credit, 2 nave either paid cash this year or 5 done without, m met, me Record t! iceis more confident tnan last year. i It has seen the people pull through 1 under exceedingly trying circumstan ? ces, and believes they will do it again. i i-aith, hope, economy, and working i like,, tne mischief w.u greatly aid at 1 this crisis We realize that it will be difficult ■ for many farmers to pay for seed and . fertilizer to plant wheat, oats, rye, • uar.ey, vetch, clover, etc. But if pos i sibie, plant iibera.iy, even witnout ; commercial fertilizer. • Debs is dead. He was a man un ■ shaken in his stand for what he con -1 ceived to be right. When indicted for obstructing the draft, he submitted to the cnarge gracefully and went to i the penitentiary without whining- La Follette would have been in one 1 same predicament, very probably, if ne hadn’t been a senator, but the test of practical political and social ostracism was about as severe for La Follette as the penitentiary door was for Debs. La Follette “came J back” and only death prevented his becoming a greater power than ever. Debs dies with the respect of the American people. In the long, run, whatever you may think of opinions, 1 you are bound to respect the man who stands unflinchingly for what he deems right. We welcome to our desk the Hills boro Recorder. That old town again has a paper. Some of the newspaper folk are snorting because a job printery has ucen fcbLaoiisneu ac me penitentialy to do printing for the institution and Jor the state. Convicts, if they work at all, must come in competition with free labor, and it would just as well be the printers as the farmers. The convict labor of the South has added many thousands of bales to the cotton crop this year- If the printers in prison can help lower the expenses of the state, let them go to it. Besides, here is an opportunity for bright young prisoners to learn a trade. BUSINESS LOCALS DIVERSIFICATION PAYS. Do it with pecan You can lea>*n ho v to smeeeed with them by writing J. JB.

Yours very truly, G. FRANK BURNS. Adv. * Carrboro tp Have a ter and Sewers, (From t?*e Chapel Hill Weekly) The town of Carrboro, Chapel Hill’s next-door neighbor to the west, is going rapidly ahead with the construction of a new water and sewer system. The contract has been let to the Burlington Construction Company, and this concern has already put its force into action. The work will go an through the fall and winter. Recently the Carrboro alder- "■ men authorized a bond issue of l’ £BO,OOO to cover the water anc J sewer pipes, a standpipe, and a . sewage disposal plant. The a - mount of the contract is several ; thousand dollars under that fig | are, so that there appears to be • a .safe margin. ‘ The water is to he purchased ’ from the University, which. ! through its Consolidated Service Plants, owns and conducts the 1 water supply system in Chape : Hill. The water will be filtered n the University’s present plan and will be piped out to Carr joro. Some water is already be I ng piped out to Carrboro, an arrangements have been made .or tne laying of such new maim -is are needed. The disposal plant is to be ii he Morgan creek valley, out tc .he southwest of Chapel Hill. A week or so ago a delegation from Parrboro appeared before the aldermen here and proposed That the two municipalities join their two sewer systems; Carrboro’s northern section to empty into i Chapel Hill’s existing line and Chapel Hill to lead its sewers from the Pitlsborn road section into the new Morgan creek val ley disposal plant. But a com mittee of the Chapel Hill board after a study of this plan, report id against it, deciding that the ay of the land was such tha; Chapel Hill could provide, more economically, its own outfall from the Pittsboro road section.
