PAGE FOUR THE CHATHAM RECORD o. J, PETERSON Editor and Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: One Year $1.50 Six Months THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1929 sm&maMs A new industry is born in Chatham. Mr. J. C. Weeks, who hails from Clinton, where the production of sweet pepper is one of the many means of turning a summer dollar, is planting an acre, and has in duced Mr. Tom Thompson to do likewise, also Mr. Norwood. Chapel Hill and Durham should consume a lot of that expected pepper. * We should apologize for the shortcomings of the editorial page this week. The ..editorial effusions that appear on this page are not strained-for pro ductions, but the boilings-over of the editor’s think pot. At the usual time for writing the editorials, the editor was so nearly sick that the pot was not even simmering, much less boiling over. Just a little fuel right now would set it to bub bling, but we must refrain, for if three or four columns of ed itorials should go in upon the printer the last day, when he must take care of much of the news matter, we fear he would be tempted to cuss. €> The sale of chickens here last week was suggestive of much more than that many of Chatham’s foul population were leaving home for the flesh pots of the cities. Twenty eight cents a pound for hens, live weight, meant not only a considerable number of new dollars in circulation in Chat ham, but augurs the develop ment of the poultry industry to proportions that will make formerly more staple products appear of trifling concern. If there were ten times as many hens to be sold as there were, farm relief would not have to await upon a disagreeing pres ident and senate. The cow, the sow, and the hen—let them multiply and farmers’ troubles will end. And if you criticise that rhyme you go back upon one of oldentime, for it has, been said of old that a whist ling girl and a crowing hen will come to some bad end. gut poor Chatham hens in this day of cooperative marketing! Not one of them guilty of "crowing,” yet we dare not further ponder the fate of their fluffy plumpness. Yet one of ■ the supposedly fated ones hias ] found a haven of rest, escaping ] from her betrayers and seek- J mg refuge with the editor’s ( flock, where she is perfectly < welcome, Leghorn as she is, if she can compete with the < Wyandottes already so notable that one must not be allowed ! to steal or make a nest in hedge or in inaccessible place lest she heap up such a pile of eggs be fore she goes to sitting (or set ting if you like) that she w r ould need the spread of a young airplane to cover them. The situation at Gastonia, where strike disturbances have disgraced the community the past few weeks, deserves some kind of comment. Yet Gaston county folk do not read The Record, and our folk are not especially in need of any les sons to be drawn from the events, except the one of gen eral application, that it is ex ceedingly easy to act the fool, and that folly is a long step toward crime. The folly and the crime seem to be charac-| teriistic of no particular ele ment of the people concerned. -A labor organizer leads off communistic mouthings, thus arousing more than the usual hostility on the part of mill owners, and thereby making his own task the more diffi cult. Some of the strikers be come so bumptious that troops are called for. Then, under the very nose of the troopers, a mob before daylight destroys labor organization headquar ters. A lethargy seems to have seized the authorities and no adequate investigation of mob activities became apparent. Upon withdrawal of the troops, the 40 deputies sworn in to take the place of the military companies, play the fool and assault with club and other weapons members of a parade which is alleged to have been: in violation of a city ordinance. | In the meantime, wages have stopped and people are ap proaching a period of want, and the mills concerned are standing idle. The foregoing seems to describe in a measure the situation up to this writing, but when bitterness prevails in a community there is no telling what a very few days may bring forth. e The Rouse case provokes a comment that has been fre quently suggested the last few years. It used to be that par ents were blamed for corrupt ing, or demoralizing, their chil dren; but we are persuaded that today there are more chil dren demoralizing their par ents than parents are demoral izing their, children. Imagine the difficulty of a father or mother if a child should bring home stolen property from a hundred miles away, at first pretending to have bought it or traded for it, but repeating the thing so often that the parents suspect that he is stealing. They tell him not to bring anything else under those circumstances. He brings more, just the same. The alternatives are to report him to the authorities or to drive him away from home. Neither is a pleasant task, and it is probable that a stalwart young man would not leave even if told. The roguery con tinues, and the parents become hardened and it will be almost a wonder if they are not finally involved in the crimes them selves. Thus in a case of steal ing, but the demoralization may be in other directions. Parents may try to save the reputation of the family until the whole family suffers a character loss. But one may say that the parents should have raised the children differ ently. But did you ever think that Eli’s own sons turned out rascals, while Samuel, whom he reared in the same home, turned out a prophet and a judge of Israel? It seems an impossibility to raise some chil dren right. But if those chil dren did have a little respect for the reputation of the home and would realize what trouble they are bringing upon their parents and innocent brothers and sisters, they might take some thought to ruin only • themselves when they set out to go to the devil. <§>— ******** * * * * * * * * _ * Moncure News * * * *************** Mrs. .Gertrude Crutchfield, thanks the neighbors and friends for their kindness during the sfckneSS’ of ' her mother,’ Mrs. Ida Watson, and ■ also thanks Mrs. Daisy Moore and, others for the beautiful flowers which she enjoyed so much.

March Expenditures of Road Commission <§> To indicate the general run of the expenses of the road commission in Chatham we are giving below the orders made on the second Monday in April. As the same salaries occur month after month, the occasional publication of a month’s expendi tures should serve to give the people an idea of the ordinary expenses. Since the installation of the county auditor, however, it is a more diffi cult matter to get a month’s expenses of the other departments of the county, as some items do not pass through the hands of the commis sioners, the budget being set by them and the auditor issuing orders upon proper voucher from the department, and entering each item in its proper place in the records. Never were the county accounts so well kept, but the minutes of the commissioners’ meetings no longer show in one series the whole of a month’s expenditures as formerly. The following is the list of ac counts approved by the board sitting as road commission on the second Monday: The board met in a regular session on the above date with all members present: R. J. Johnson, chairman; W. T. BrookSgi commissioner, C. D. Moore, commissioner. The following business was trans acted: J. C. Gregson, tractor and machine 2 days at $12.60, $25.00.

M. T. Plyler, of the N. C. Chrifst’su Advocate on the sub ject* of What It Is to Be a Chris tian. The preacher also added a few words about the Advocate, which it seems every true Methodist home should have. Some competent folk have criti cised our choir for buying books and hiring a leader to help get up three or four songs a year, making a big display one day. but leaving the members in no better shane to learn other songs or to teach the rest of the congregation any more abou f music, and this writer is disposed to agree with the critics. However in this dav of style and show, it is hard for all to see alike and no on" • person should expect everything to go as he sees it. Mrs. Frank Perry was kept away ■ from Sunday school bv illness, hut we hope she will soon he out again Rev. J. A. Dailey and wife and > ; Rev. M. T. Plvler were dinner • f of Mr. R. G.

Brewer, April 9, 1929. The meeting opened with the regu lar formal opening, Mrs. Riggsbee, rehabiliation chairman, read a letter from our soldier at Oteen, which was very interesting. Mrs. Brewer, poppy chairman, re ported that poppies have been order ed and that judges had been selected to decide on the best posters made by the school. Mrs. D. L. Bell told of the Easter egg hunt given the children of the auxiliary. A good time was had by all the children. The minutes of the post officers meeting at Greensboro were read by Mrs. Roscoe Farrell. Mrs. Bell read an adress of Com mander Paul V. McNutt. This ad dress was most interesting. We were delighted to have so many present at this meeting. One new member, Mrs. N. C. Shiver. Mrs. O. J. Peter son and Miss Lucy Pearce as guests. Delicious ice cream and cake was served by the hostess assisted by Mrs. C. C. Hamlet and Mrs. O. J. Peterson. —Mrs. R. M.
