Red Cross was next presented as

ty Back in Democratic Column
Sampson Probably Elects Part of
Democratic Ticket
Probably more - interest was felt
in this section as to the result of
the New York election than as to
that of the county and state. In New
York the fortunes of A1 Smith were
at. Stake. But the Governor won a
gain by at least a quarter of a mil
lion votes, and can still become a
formidable candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination. There were Dem
ocrats here who would have been glad
to see Smith’s majority so cut as to
eliminate him from the presidential
contest, thus saving a possible war.-'
fare over Catholicism in the next
Democratic convention, and in the reg
ular election, if Smith should be the
Democratic nominee for president.
Wagner the Democratic candidate
for the U. S. senate from New York
also won over his opponent Senator
Wadsworth. Only a lew new Demo
cratic senators are needed to make
* the senate Democratic and it may be
that they have been chosen, The
President’s own endorsee for the sen
ate in Massachusetts, Senator But
ler, was defeated.
The State has gone Democratic by
1 possibly 100,000, as far; as can be de
j termined from Wednesday morning
I reports. Johnston county, which un
i expectedly went Republican two years
■ ago, has again gone Democratic, by
1000 majority it is estimated.
In Sampson county, where the Re
| publicans have held long sway, it is
possible that part of the Democratic
ticket has been elected. The convic
tion of the Republican party boss two
years ago for robbing the pension and
■ other funds started the push in Samp
son. Internal differences in the party
have also had their bearings. Sev
eral prominent Republicans have been
urging that the Republicans of
county do as the Democrats of John-"'
ston did two years ago, contending
that the Republican ring in the coun
ty had too long been entrenched for
the good of the county.
The state and county tickets were
printed last week. If any one is in
doubt as to who has been elected look
up the Democratic tickets in that pa
per.

CABBAGE PLANT GROWING
It is surprising how big some ap
parently little things can become. Last

_‘cr sale by Mr. A. B. Clegg, as we
ire this year. He reports that despite

PITTSBORO, X. C„ CHATHAM COUNT?, THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 4,1926
Mrs. Burns GoesFSshiHg
Pittsboro Lsdyt &&
Delightful Outing at WhftenriJle
and Seashore
(Mrs. H. E. Norris))
Mrs. Robt. M. Burns ia> iiast back
from a visit to her son. BL EL at
Whiteville, and expresses, herself as,
delighted with her visit,, and particu
larly at the opportunity given her to
enjoy the sport of and fish
ing in larger waters than those of
her native Chatham.
As Mrs. Burns, widtow of the re
cently deceased ’Squire Burns, who.
passed at the age of 93, has for so
many years been confined at home
with her afflicted husband, the out
ing was most timely, and for her
friends’ sake a sketch of its chief
features are given below.
She and her daughter Mrs. H. E.
Norris locked up the old Burns home
for the second time in thirty years
and set forth with Mr. R. H, Burns
for his home in Whiteville, where he
is engaged in the practice of law as
a partner of Congressman Honer
Lyon.
It was a delightful October day and
the car sped over the good roads to
Fayetteville, where Mrs. Burns spent
much of her earlier life, and which
good city she had not visited in many
years. She found many changes, a
modern city, but recognized some of
the old landmarks.
From Fayetteville we passed
through one of the finest farming
sections of the south, great level
fields of cotton, corn, and tobacco,
stretching as far as one could see.
The peanut fields, with their stacks of
harvested vines and nuts, awaiting
picking, reminded one of an eskimo
village, save in color. The pecan or
chards looked like real forests. At
Elizabethtown, of Revolutionary fame,
we observed the Tory Hole, which is
right on the highway. Another point
of interest on the way is Page’s lake,
teeming with fish, which accommo
datingly came to the edge of the water
where they could be seen when food
was thrown them. Here are three
mineral springs of entirely different
constituents within a few feet of each
other. The lake covers several acres
and is to be enlarged, Mr. Page told 1
us. * * •
It is only a four hours’ trip from
Pittsboro to Whiteville, but we spent'
the entire day on the journey, en- 1
joying the scenery and observing the
various points of interest.
A warm welcome awaited Mrs.
Burns at the hand of Mrs. R. H.
Bums and the two fine boys Bob and
John.
The first fishing party was at Lake
Waccamaw, twelve miles from White
ville. The lake is beautiful and true
to its name, meaning in the Indian
tongue “peaceful”. The sight of that
lovely lake alone was worth the cost
of the trip. The broad sheet of water
is fringed with lovely cypress trees
festooned with the long gray moss
of that region. This is one of the
beauty spots of North Carolina. The
lake is rapidly developing as a resort.
Our boatman was the veteran Mr.
Pollard who lived many years on the
Cr;... oat now, with trim
launch, escorts fishing parties on the
Lake Waccamaw, where the finny
beauties abound, and Mrs. Burns,
nearly ninety young, was all athrill
as she pulled them in from right and
left, while the water gleamed with
the silvery sides of the fish school
ing upon the surface and the air was
brightened by large gay butterflies
that wafted their way over the teem
ing waters. And hers was the cham
pion catch of the party, her nearest
rival being her young grandson.
•Some of the beauties weighed as much
as 1 1-4 pounds. It was her happy
day.
Back home in time for supper with
the best fish one almost tasted, and
bounties bestowed upon neighbors.
Only a day intervened and we were
off with break of day for Little River.
It was sixty miles and the road pass
ed through visions of golden rod and
black-eyed susans, appearing like un
to sheets of gold. Little River is
over in Horry county, S. C., and is
really a six-mile arm of the sea, its
water salt. Here the noted Little
’River oysters flourish, and fishermen
were drawing in great nets burdened j
j with bar re’s of the finny tribes. And
i here we go again in a spinning launch, i
i this time over the briny deep. The
j long lines each held three hooks and
' sometimes each hook had its fish. In
landing such a lucky catch Mrs.
Burns had to call for help. Spots,
whitings, pigfish, and pinfish were in
the big catch. When we could count
eighty of the beauties, we desisted i
and went to a regular sea shore din- !
ner, oysters, shrimp salad and pat- I
ties, and fried trout, with corn bread
and hot coffee.
‘ And over to the beach eight miles
j away. This is the young lady’s first
| visit to the ocean, and was perhaps
the outstanding feature of her whole
trip. She gathered shells and sea
weed, walked up and down the beach
scanning the restless billows and
breakers as if she had not been up
since four o’clock that morning. A
flock of ducks hurry over, sandpipers
were feeding restlessly by the water’s
edge. The great orb of day was fast
descending. We lingered, almost
spell-bound, enchanted, realizing as
seldom before the beauty and appro
priateness of the scripture, “the Lord
is in His holy temple, let all the earth
keep silence before him,” as well as
that paean of the nineteenth Psalm,
which declares that the heavens de
clare the glory of God.
Sixty-seven miles home, but with
good roads, a good car and a care
ful driver, with fish packed in ice,
che trip was quickly-and safely made
and here is Whiteville, only 8:30 p.
m.
Another trip took us to Fair Bluff
on John Charles McNeill’s dear “Lum
bee River”, in common parlance the
: Election In Chatham
p;v. -u-.
'Democrats Carry Chatham % Larger
Bfafsrfty Thui UsoaF—Little
Interest
V*»ry Tittle iht°rest was manifested
election in Chatham county
Tuesday.
The Republicans of the county
took even less interest in the election
f han did the Democrats. It was a
foregone conclusion that the Demo
crats would win, and the Republicans
simply took it easy,
i In Williams township life-long Re
publicans are reported as voting the
! Democratic ticket, and that township
went Democratic for the first time
in manv years. Likewise Hadley and
Cape Fear townships, formerly Re
loubtioan, went Democratic, while the
Republican majority of about 150 in
' ’br'ght was iut down to ten. B&ar
Creek also changed to the Democrat
ic column.
The Vote bv Townships
Following are the Democratic and
Republican votes for the several pre
"mets, the office of surveyor being
taken as the criterion:
Township Dem. Rep.
Albrivht 154 161
Baldwin 252 385
Bear Creek 400
Cape Fear 130 134
Gulf 283 194
Hadley > 166 146
Haw River 102 51
Hickory Mt. 192 88
New Hope 216 137
Matthews 489 415
Oakland 169 76
Williams 118 56
Center 526 69
Total 3197 1978
Democratic majority, 1219.
All the Democratic ticket in Cape
Fear had a majority except Dard and
Moore. Albright gave a majority to
sheriff Blair and possibly others.
Hence the 5 former Republican town
ships are reduced to one and it only
in part.

CELEBRATES. BIRTHDAY WITH
LOVELY PARTY
Little Miss Mary Brewer enter
tained Saturday from 3 to 5 o'clock
at a lovely birthday party at her
home on “Brewer’s Hill”.
The home was effectively decorated
with autumn leaves, cats, witches and
other Hallowe’en suggestions.
The afternoon was enjoyed play
ing games and in fortune telling.
After these games the guests were
invited into the dining room. In the
center of the table was the birthday
cake, bearing twelve burning candles.
The little hostess served her guests
delicious Hallowe’en refreshments.
She was assisted by her mother, Mrs.
Geo. Brewer, and Aunt Mrs. Thomp
son of Durham.
Lumber River, a corruption of the
Indian “Lumbee”, parallel with Pe
dee and Santee. And we visit Chad
bouin, a sandhill section grown pros
perous through the culture of the
strawberry, possibly the largest mar
ket for berries in the whole country.
One of the last two days remain
ing of the well filled trip was spent
in Wilmington, where Mrs. Burns
soent much of the time of the Civil
War with relatives, making clothes
for the army. This was her first
visit since those critical days. A
drive over the city and a visit to
Seventh street, the scene of her ac
tivities in that far off day, was very
interesting. Mrs. Burns rendered
much service to the soldiers during
that great conflict, and is truly a
“daughter of the Confederacy.” We
crossed the Cape Fear, and where by
remarkable co-incidence the old “Thel
ma” which was in use during the
Civil War, v/as plying the waters red
j with Chatham soil.
The apiaries on the route from
Wilmington to Whiteville were of
great interest. Mr. Martin, a former
newspaper man of Raleigh, retiring
from that service a few years ago,
has developed quite an industry and
is putting much of his product unon
the markets in fancy packages. Only
recently he was in Pittsboro with ]
j samples of the golden fruitage of the !
j flowers of the Cape Fear section,
j whose deliciousness can be attested
by ye editor learn from a sample
left him by his former comrade# of,
the press. Mr. Martin’s methods are
absolutely modern. He has 83 plapts
in the Cape Fear section, we believe, i
and the freedom of" his life and its
independence as he resides like an
old-time aristocrat in one of the
Colonial homes of Brunswick county
suggests the possibilities for others
along that line in this day when cot
ton is overdone and tobacco promises
to come into a similar state.
And we are going home, back to
Pittsboro. We pass through the Gov
ernor’s home town, good old Lumber
ton, now a thriving young city. Here
we are, and R. H. is back home at
Whiteville, but has left lasting memo
rials of the exceedingly pleasant days
that he afforded his mother and sis
ter. Mrs. Burns has seemingly a new i
lease of life. She will dream dreams
of repeating this happy visit and join
with Bill in saying:
“When the weather’s warm, the day
is fine,
When the time has come .for hook
and line,”
You will find me on the way to

and autumn leaves being used.
* Prof. R. L. Forrester, dressed as
a ghost with ice cold hands, stood
at the end of the walk and welcomed
I the guests as they arrived in cos
tumes. The witch then commanded
them to follow her, taking them into
i dark dungeons, then passing thru
the hall, over which a huge lighted
Jack-o-laritern hung where the hostess,
, assisted by Mrs. J. J. Ivey served
j witches’ brew.
During the evening much fun was
pnjoyed in guessing “who’s who”, a 1 so
various games and fortune teilirg
were engaged in.

ure, filled with candies, went to Miss
Eda Purvis, for having best costume.

graduated two years ago with much
honor. Since coming to the Univer

should have gone out from amongst
their number to win these honors in
the University. The Chatham Coun
ty Club has, also, elected him its
president.
