R v ] Frank Norris is evidently nct \* complacently sure of himself Ln 1 his cause as he was when he *ert into the pulpit the day after ilip tilled Chipps. The case has been Kemoved to Austin,. Texas, on the "ground that the minister cannot get a fair trial in his own city. Prob able he could get a fairer trial than he wants, though a venire of 500 men almost unanimously expressed them selves as unalterably having made up their minds as to the guilt or inno cence of the preacher-killer. The Raleigh Times and the Greens boro News have also discovered the j 0 ke in certain folk’s advocating the Australian ballot system for the state on the ground that the Democratic vote seemed to be increased in the counties now having that system. The inference is that these lovers of the people would oppose the Australian scheme if it had worked the other way. But, really, the secret ballot is needed worse in Democratic pri maries than it is the general election. Give the people the Australian bal lot, a fair and square one without advantages to the dominant party, cut cut absentee voting, and if the people want to vote Bolshevik or Fascist let them do so. That is the kind of Democrat the editor of the Record has always been. It will take a million pickers ten days to house the amount of cotton indicated as the increase in prospec tive production between Oct. 1 and Oc:. IS. With the weather that is likc.y to prevail when the drought is assuredly broken, it is more like ly to represent a month’s picking. Only half, even less, of the prospec tive crop was reported ginned. That means a large part of the crop un picked Oct 18. If five million bales remain unpicked at this date, it is quite certain, considering the weath er and the little incentive to pick at present prices, much cotton will rut n the fields. The days are short ar i the children, black and white, supposedly in school. It should be safe to cut the estimate of the crop down from 17 1-2 million to 16 1-2 million bales. ihe Republican machine rather overdid the thing" in Philadelphia, where 44 boxes did not contain a sin gle ballot for the opponent of the notorious Vare who bought the Re publican nomination. It may be easy to find some one in each of those •precincts who will swear that he voted against Vare. Vare was elect only by the Philadelphia vote, the Republicans in other sections of the state voting largely for his Demo ciuue opponent.

He re- i ported that he thoroughly enjoyed the • Assembly. The address by Dr. Mims Friday evening and by Dr. Knight Saturday were considered very fine. The Goldston boys’ basketball team played their first game of the sea son last Thursday afternoon with i Bynum. It was a very interesting | game. The score was 29 to 17 in ! Goldston’s favor. The Bynum basketball team will j play Goldston here Friday afternoon. | Rev. G. H. Miggs preached his last sermon Sunday evening before going j no conference. He preached a good ! sermon, full of the spirit and truth, i Mr„ Biggs has been here only one j year. He has done his best as a preacher and as a pastor. He is an Oid time gospel preacher, who gives the people just what they need. He deserves more credit and larger crowds than he receives. He stated that he had not bc v .i paid in full, but he was going to pay it, and the church would be in debt. If we owe the preacher, we should pay him as well as any one else. The annual conference convenes at Trinity church, Durham, this week. Many of Mr. Bigg’s people wish for his return. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Lemons of Troy spent last Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Burke. Mr. Eugene Goldston and his j ! friend Mr. Bob Morris, students at . ! State College, spent the week-end ! with the former’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Goldston.

CONTRACT let for HAW RIVER BRIDGE 3 • Chatham is to have another great ( bridge. It is to take the place of the rickety affair across the Haw at Ilay -1 wood. The contract was let a few 1 days ago and work will begin as soon ’ as the materials, can be assembled, \ ic is stated. The length of the bridge * will be 545 feet. There will be nine L fifty-foot spans and two 35-foot ones. The bridge will be of re-inforced ce:.- 1 * crete. t The building of this bridge and J of the Avent Ferry bridge, across the ’ Cape Fear, will leave only the Deep { j River bridge at Lockville of the old; ! wooden vintage. Truly, Chatham has i c fared well at the hands of the high- | 1 way commission. Yet the county and ' t its streams lie in such position that it is practically impossible to build [ a system of state roads without giv [ ing Chatham a goodly share. The > taking over of several thoroughfares and these bridges by the state is all that has made it possible for the county to expend so much on the minor roads. i ; HOW IT WAS r Henry F. Durham says that since ( there are so many reports out about ! his taking ether he wishes to explain. . He had been suffering severe pain ! for several hours, the fourth attack ■ this year, had taken aspirin without relief and while his wife was gone to a neighbor’s decided he would take ! some ether that Dr. Walker had given him. He was Confident that he wasn’t taking a dangerous amount, but his wife'was frightened when she came back and found him resting •easily with the cloth over his face. He got relief.

CHATHAM oihV? Thursday, November 11, 1926 DISHES GET FIRST SCRUBBING IN AGES Ancient Pottery Found in Pueblo to Bs Cleaned. Washington.—Dishes that have not been washed for hundreds of years are about to be scrubbed and put on ex hibition at the United States national museum here. They are the collection of earthen kitchen-ware, funeral urns, and other objects brought back from Eldon pueblo, an ancient Indian me tropolis near Flagstaff, Ariz., by Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, curator of America ethnology at the Smithsonian institu tion. | The bowls, vases, pots and jars were used by the ancestors of the modern race of Hopi Indians, it is believed, and are much cruder than those found farther south in Mexico and Central America. Many of them are lopsided ! and none of them have flat bottoms. Unlike Perfected Pottery Today. They are quite unlike the perfected Indian pottery picked up by tourists in the southwestern United States to day. Most of the bowls, jugs and effi gies are made of red clay baked over fires so that the inside is smoked black and the outside clouded into irregular black and red shapes. These articles j are said to resemble the crude predy | nastic pottery of Egypt before the days of recorded history, and appar ently the same method was used in making both. A second type of pottery depends for its decorative effect on notches made by the thumb-nail or by a point ed stick uniformly all over the outer surface. These vessels appear to have been made by laying strings of clay around and around and notching them into place until the shape desired was built up. This gives a corrugated ef fect to the objects. Many Bowls Effectively Decorated. Many of the other pots and jars are covered with conventional Indian type of designs in black and white mean -1 dering and zigzagging over the sur face. One especially effective bowl might easily have been done liy a modern artist of the impressionistic school. Some* of the objects found were re covered from within the ruins of the house, hut many more beautiful and I lntcrcstl-g ones came from the grave ’ yard at the baek. w According to the ! aboriginal Indian custom, effigies and { vessels probably once filled with food, | medicines, and holy objects were bur j itd with the dead. The corpses were I plastered down with adobe and the possessions of the deceased placed around and on top. In many cases the skeleton remains found had been dressed up in shell bracelets and orna ments. All of the objects bVouglit back were co\ered with crusts of alkali, which . entirely covered ,the surface and hid ■ the interesting details. Only a few of them have been washed and studied to date. : Queen Mary Inclines to Nottingham Lace London—Queen Mary has fitted alt the rooms of Sandringham palace with Nottingham lace curtains and also has provided many of the beds in the famous palace with Notting ham lace spreads. This has come as something of a shock to decorators, who have been decrying lace curtains as draperies. In doing over the old home of the late Queen Alexandra a free sweep to her own taste lias been taken by Queen Mary. The palace was some what gloomy with dark hangings and furniture. The queen, has banished this gloom entirely and given a very bright, liomey appearance to the pal ace. It was filled with many gifts and trophies of most sentimental value to the late queen, but most of these have been removed from the living rooms*if they did not conform with the simpler style of decoration Queen Mary has chosen. U. S.’Sets New Record in Manufacturing Output Washington.—The country’s manu facturing output during August was the highest on record, the Commerce department announces after assem bling statistics from virtually all in dustries. The volume for the month was represented by the index number of 136 on a scale which makes the 1919 output set the base of 100 for the calculation. This is an increase of 12 per cent over August, 1925, and an increase of 7 per cent over the output of July of this year. The textile and leather industries were the only ones which reported less production in August than for the same period of 1.919. Automobile manufacture, which was assigned an index number of 263 for August showed the greatest expansion. Good Shot Birlgham, Mass.—Mrs. William A. Wagner is a good shot. One touch at her shotgun and down came a big eagle that was swooping down on her puppy in her back yard. The bird j measured nine feet from wing tip to . wins t in - INHERITS FORTUNE AS GIRL SAYS YES; Youth Needed Bride to Collect Inheritance. Chicago.—There is romance in Chi cago—traffic f ops included. A tiny, three-letter word, spoken by a pretty Chicago model, not only sealed the fate of $12,500,000 and a fortune in Texas ranchland, 'but so altered the duties of a squad of mo torcycle policemen that they escorted the girl and her sweetheart to and froifi the altar into wealth and happi ness. Martha Marcusson O’Hara, 4615 Magnolia avenue, is the heroine of this fantastic chapter out of real Hfe. He£ husband, Pat F. O’Hara, Chica go’s newest multi-millionaire, ts now in Texas, where he awaits the final word that will make him the master of a veritable kingdom of wealth in the Lone Star state. O’Hara is heir to the estate of his foster mother, the late Mrs. Maude King of Kingsville, Texas, valued at more than $12,500,000. It was in a Niles Center case that O’Hara made his last proposal to the girl who is now his wife. Within six months he must be mar ried or lose the estate. That was one of the conditions of the inheri tance. Once more he asked the girl. “Yes,” came the gleaming reply. O’Hara blinked. It was hard to be lieve. The clock struck eleven. A hurried consultation of the assembled friends followed —a borrowed ring—a whis , pered word to a motorcycle cop, and soon O’Hara, his Finnish bride-to-be and their friends were sailing over i the roads of Niles Center. In a tiny, gable-roofed building that serves Niles Center both as firehouse and courtroom, the pair were mar ried at midnight by Judge Pat J. CqU , lins. O’Hara had obtained the- license two days previous, It Avr.s t!ie xnUtfirtrate’s first cere mony. Mrs. O’Hara smiled, and, whilejhe wedding group beamed, the magistrate, with a gracious gesture, ordered n police escort for the couple out of Niles Center. , Four policemen responded. Leading the way, the police soon brought the party to Xessville. There, with Judge , Coffins as host, the wedding was cele [ I bfated; O’Hara will not come into owner ! ship of the estate until his next birth i day, November 30. On that date he , will be twenty-five years old. His bride is twenty four. i ,Swiss “Cowgirl,” Chfc Dresser, Likes Pipe Geneva.—Miss Helolse Cottin is a Swiss “cowboy” who rides the valley and mountains of. the canton of Val ais looking after her numerous head of cattle. Bui Yv liui the cattle see, if they look her way, is not the chaps and bright shirts of the Western cowboy, but the smartness of a chic young woman dressed in the swagger things in rid ing togs, smart hoots and tailored blouses. .Tust byway of a romantic flair she knots her bobbed hair into the confines of a bright-red handker chief and sometimes she smokes a pipe. Miss Cottin prefers the tailored cig arette that fits her costume, but when cigarettes dwindle away, as they will on the range, out comes her pipe. Many suitors seek out Miss Cottin in the seclusion of her Swiss valley, but Miss Cottin is a particular young lady, and until recently was riding her raf-.ge alone. Acquit Berlin Savant Who “Stole in Trance” Berlin. —Professor Schumacher, who stole thousands of insect specimens, _ microscopic slides and books and ento ' mological paraphernalia while “in a state of trance,” was acquitted, re cently. A court found that at times he was not responsible for his actions. Professor Schumacher was so in- 1 tensely absorbed in his work that he lost his mental balance. The curator of the zoological museum of Berlin university testified that Schumacher was the most learned entomologist in | the world. The missing insect sped- | mvSS Fou hcG'ks were found in Schu- j macher’s rooms. A MILLION FOR HOSPITAL WORK ; i Durham, Nov. 10. —More than a million dollars a year will be avail able for hospital work in North and South Carolina as a result of the provisions made by the *latc James : 3. Duke, George G. Allen, of New >' York, chairman of the board of trus- : . tees of the Duke Endowment* said while in Durham last week. The principal method of distribution is j on the basis of $1 per day per charity I patient in hospitals of the States. If! 1 this does not use up the income, then !' the Endowment fund will assist com- ; munities or other groups in building ' hospitals, but will not build them en- 1 tirely, Mr. Allen said. Not even Mr. Duke, with all his study and thought, i realized the extent of his benefactions 1 jto the charity sick, Mr. Allen said. 1 1 ' The fund is expected to help build 1 | and help support hospitals in every. * county in the Carolinas.
