More About Doctor
William T. Brantly
We were almost sure there would
be found descendants of the Brant- I
!
lys in this section if the name has j
vanished, since the census of 1790
showed ten white females in one of |
j the six Brantly families therein -
listed.
There are. Mr. Frank May’s!
grandmother was a Brantly, and!
there are lots of others in whom j
there is a Brantly strain.
Mr. May informs us that Dr. I
Wm. T. Brantly's father lived
where Mr. D. E. Mclver now lives, 1
and that young William T. walked
the six miles from there to the
Pittsboro school.
The next question is, was the
William Warden who came from
Fayetteville here and dieiJ hero
about 1890 a descendant of the
Williams Warden who was the
benefactor of young William T.
Brantly 125 years ago?
Big Conference
At Brown’s Chapel
The conference of the Fayette
vill district of the Methodist church
held a w r ell attended and enjoyable
conference at Brown’s Chapel last

more than a score of circuits and
stations, extending down into
Robeson and Sampson. According
ly, there were Methodist
ers galore in attendance,. as well
as many others of prpmiijdnce in
church work. .L
Brown Chapel was equal to the
| emergency, however, and entertain
ed the many visitors with a regular
j old-time country hospitality. The
last day of the session was sadly
disturbed by the death of one of
the stewards of the ehurch, the
highly esteehied Mr, C. W. Lut
terloh. ; *' ~ *•.

STUDENT AT CANTON
TAKES HIS OWN LIFE |
I
Canton, May 13.—Charles Ro
bertson, 15-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Will Robertson, of Fibre
ville, committed suicide at his
home this afterhoon by shooting
himself in the head with a large
caliber pistol, according to police
records. Young Robertson, a pupil
in local high schools, and whose fa
ther is a superintendent in the
Champion Fibre company, came
home shortly after noon and went
to his room. A few minutes after
ward members of the family heard
a pistol shot, and rushed to the
room where they found him dying
from a wound in the left temple.
Neighbors stated that he apparent
ly haS been somewhat discouraged
over his work in training school.
It is well to be economical, but it
is poor policy to hold the reins so!
tight on one’s business that it pre- j
vents good results, or precludes the :
possibility of doing busiifeds
economically.
