THURSDAY,. APRIL 25, 1929. *************** * * TOWN AND * * * COUNTY BRIEFS * Hon. Walter Siler spent the week- Mrs. Jacob Thompson of Raleigh visited her brother Mr. George Drew er last week. The box party at Center church Saturday evening netted the church repair fund s4l. Mr. R. A. Chappell, of Burlington, ran down to see some of his old Chat ham friends Saturday. Mr. Deems Weeks has had to go on crutches the past ten days because of a broken toe. Mrs. J. C. W’eeks is spending a week in Clinton under a physician’s care. Miss Lucille Farrell is home from Broadway, where she has taught the past session. Mrs. Roy Straughan and children have spent several days with her sister, Mrs. C. C. Hamlet. That school play Friday evening promises to be something good. Re member it and go out. Miss Elizabeth Blair delightfully entertained the senior class of the high school last Friday evening. Rev. Jonas Barclay and Mr. A. C. Ray had an enjoyable trip to the Presbytery at Madison last w'eek. Mr. Gid Alson and Miss Josephine Alston, of Littleton, visited their r. ther Cantain Alston during the week-end. Misses Jennie Moore and Ila Cope land have returned from Raleigh where they were guests of Miss Moore’s brothers, J. E. and C. B. Moore. Mr. A. C. Ray, who attended the meeting of the Orange Presbytery at Madison last week, was chosen repre- of the Presbytery to the general synod which is to meet this year at Montreat. Mr. F. M. Farrell, now of Kenly, was a Pittsboro visitor last week. Mr. Farrell’s health, we regret to say, has not been so good since he left Chat ham three or four years ago. The Record incidentally learns that an application has been made for a franchise for a bus line from Lex ington to Raleigh, over highway 90. This will be a considerable con venience to" many people on Ninety. There will be an entertainment and parcel post social at Coal Glenn church Friday night, May 3. Ad mission ten cents. Everybody is in vited to go and have a good time and help out a good cause. Mr. R. V. Griffin, of Graham, was a visitor in P'ttsboro last week. He moved from Chatham when a big Htizens, and a fox hunter from ’way Mr. and Mrs. 3. A. Perry have had < guests within the past week Mr. Mrs. < artis Butler an:] James Perry of Raleigh and Mr. B. 0. Gen try and Mrs. J'ernell of Durham, the latter two are brother and sister of Mrs. Perry. Rev. B. L. Gupton preached an able sermon at the Baptist church Wednesday evening of last week. Rev. Paul Caudill, pastor, will preach next Sunday, morning and evening. He has recently married and will bring his bride, it is understood. It is also the purpose of the ladies to give them a shower while here. Supt. W. R. Thompson and Mr. Ed Hinton, chairman of the county school board, are attending the school of instruction for school officials which is being held this week at Raleigh. The new school law re quired five days instruction of these officials in the matters involved in the new law. Mr. David Weeks came up from Clinton Tuesday morning with 25 thousand sweet pepper plants for Mr. J. C. Weeks, Mr. Lewis Norwood and Mr. Thomas Thompson, who have planted an acre each. The plants were fine and were set as rapidly as possible after reaching Pittsboro. Mr. Weeks has netted as much as S3OO an acre from the crop down in Sampson. Mr. W. H. Murray, deputy sheriff, who last week was reported as break ing up a big distillery, came in Satur day with another small copper still captured in Hickory Mountain town ship. He found the still just after a run and when new mash had been put in the vessels to ferment for another run. Accordingly, he failed to get a man. He poured out over 3.000 gallons of beer in six days, which means quite a quantity of booze destroyed before the making. He found 300 sugar sacks at the first one, which indicates that the still had been in operation quite a while. Mr. and Mrs. N. C. Shiver have the pleasure this week of having with them the former’s mother, Mrs. R. C. Shiver, of Clemson College, S. C. Mrs. Shiver, who was a Calhoun and a descendent of Patrick Calhoun, brother of the famous statesman John C. Calhoun, lives in the John C. 1 alhoun mansion, and it was in those historic halls that Chatham’s farm agent grew up. We might incidentally ray here that our Agent’s father was a professor in Clemson College, which occupies the old Calhoun farm. With such heredity, it should not be surprising that Chatham has just | about the best county farm agent in 1 the state. The charming little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dixon Burns is up and about after recovering from a recent illness. I Mr. Connie Bynum, who has been employed for the past few years in a Wilson pharmacy, is now similarly employed at Durham. Mrs. B. R. Hardee of Savannah, Ga., visited her husband’s sister, Mrs. • Dixon Burns, the past week, return ing to her home in Savannah Sunday. The editor has received a copy of the 1929 Legislative Manual com piled by Mr. H. M. London, librarian of the Historical Commission. It contains much useful information. J Mrs. J. W. Hunt had as week-end guests Mrs. A. D. McGowan, Mrs. | Mabel Newberry, and Miss Frances Davenport of Wilson, and Mrs. Chas. T. Hinnant of Raleigh. Mrs. Fred Nooe, accompanied by her sisters, Mrs. Farrell of Aberdeen and Mrs. Cook of Red Springs, visited j relatives in Vidalia, Ga., last week and returned byway of the Magnolia Gardens, Charleston. Mrs. M. D. Burns, Mrs. B. R. Hardee, of Savannah, Ga., and Mr. Rowland Burns visited friends at Duncan, Moncure, and in the Chat ham church community last week, and enjoyed a delightful fishing trip Saturday. There are a few of the traveling salesmen who visit Pittsboro whom one always likes to see come, but none more than Mr. H. L. Coble, who being formerly a resident of Pitts boro, is always greeted heartily) by his former townsmen and by such new friends as the editor of The Record. <§> GIRLS WILL BE GIRLS <s> She is only the garbage man’s, daughter, but she’s not to be sniff- j ed at.

', f common is me rr.cst i \ ji uncommon Itir.d of sense.” 4? ! it *4 — By HAROLD BELL WRIGHT J Tearn Werk “Hit’s true enough that most men are born of women—at the same time, you'll take notice that most of us has a daddy.”—Preachin’ Bill NEVER you mind what some say. Boys and girls are a lot more | valuable than race horses, Persian cats or Pekingese dogs. Yes, and they are a lot more fun. It is a poor sort of a youngster that is not worth saving. Even if the girl is your child, you can never j tell—it might pay you to give her a decent chance. As for your son —well, you know, there will always be room in the penitentiary for him, if you W’ork things right! Speaking generally, one need not expect eighteen karat children from ten-karat parents—occasion ally, though, the unexpected hap pens. *■ Did you ever wonder what a baby would say if it could talk when it was born? Yes, I know, it is easy to imagine that some people were born talking; but that is not Avhat I mean. I think the tiny “just-arrived” would take a good long look at its mother, smile a knowing little smile and then remark: “Well, Mother, here w y e are but where is the other one?” I “The other one?” mother w’ould , falter —not being able at the moment ‘ to think of anyone but her baby and | herself. j “Yes. There were three of us when ! this thing started. What has become of Dad? Why isn’t he here to hold | up his end of this job? Why should 1 yon and I do all the hard work?” | And when the doctor or nurse or somebody had hustled out and dragged in the fond papa, I think baby ! w’ould look the guilty man over doubt fully and then address the pair: j “I feel, parents, it is only fair to everybody concerned that w’e three have a clear understanding right now. j There is no sense in w’aiting until | Because a man knows more j i i ways to make a fool of him- * | self, he must not, therefore, con- 4 4 chide that he is wiser than a | | child. f 4** * 4 ?

I these days about the younger ; 4 generation’s lack of respect for 4 | parental authority. But what | 4 about the respect which par- f I ents owe their children? | • * * * • | Blessed is that man or woman | f who knows what to say to a f ; child.

Teach them to 4 4 accept as perfectly natural the ? 4 fact that they are better than 4 1 some of the boys and girls they f 4 know about, just as you, their 4 t parents, are better than the fa- | | thers and mothers of those less 4 t fortunate boys and girls. | 1 —J you have made an unholy mess of things. What we must do is to start right.” To this the doctor would nod his head in solemn agreement; the nurse would look mildly astonished; the parents would know not what to say. “You must remember,” baby would continue, “that I did not ask to coine here. You did not even consult me. For all you know I did not want to come. I was doing very well where I was. But here I am and I want to know right now what you propose to do about it. You are both equally responsible for my presence in this strange land. You know the country; I don’t. And so I shall hold you both equally responsible for whatever hap pens to me until I get used to things a little and can begin to find my way around alone.” The parents would look rather more than frightened by now. And I think baby would give them a little reas suring smile before continuing sternly: “You see, I am an experiment, at best. And you certainly cannot, un der the circumstances, expect me to Insure the outcome. In a -few years 1 may be able to help a little, but by that time my future will be more or less determined. So It is practically all up to you. Aqtf, between y<p and me, pere/tyg, pothlng but the finest team work on yetir can*|,nv4^ this enterprise which you have undertaken from turning out a disastrous and hunillating failure.” I somehow suspect that this whole problem of child training is another one of those things about which the more we talk the loss we know. Because a man knows more ways to make a fool of himself, he must not, therefore, conclude that he is wiser than a child. A mother who assumes that her clii'd is thr«nghtless thereby proves herself incapable of thinking. The fact is the average j youngster will think all around the 1 average oldster .before the grown-up C£3 get under way, and a child knows more in a minute about humanity than humanity knows about itself in a thousand years. To prove this watch with what unerring judgment babies choose their friends, j Honor that one whom children love; he on your guard against any perron whom the children fear, and you will be right more often than if you depend upon Bradstreet or a church member ship roll. Vv’e hear much complaint these days about the younger generation’s lack of respect for parental authority. But what about the respect which par ents owe tlieir children? ! For several years now, I have felt that the admonition, “Honor thy fa ther and thy mother”—as it is usual ly given, without the parallel admoni tions to parents —takes too much for granted. It assumes, for instance, that all fathers and mothers are wor thy of being honored. Well, you and I know that the most godless, bestial, vicious, criminal human creatures in existence do bring children into this W’orld. How can such unfortunate children honor such parents, and why should they? While we are on this subject, there is another Scripture which somehow i seems to have escaped parental no tice: “The children ought not to lay up for the parents but the parents for the children.” Perhaps I should add that this was written by a child less old bachelor. But there are some things about 1 child training of which we may be ! fairly certain. For instance, every child is differ ent. Try as they may, with text books, conventions, and laws, our edu cators can never succeed in making them all alike. You see, the boys and girls simply can’t help it. Their par ents are ail different, too. Somewhere today the Napoleon of tomorrow is mobilizing his army of tin soldiers, or dragging his cannon across the nursery floor. And the time to capture these great war mak ers fs very soon after they are born. Somewhere tonight the Lincoln of the morning lisps his understanding of divinitv. And the time to secure * the best legislation is when our law makers are trying io “shee how ze w’eels g’ wound.” Blessed is that man or woman who know’s what to say to a child. It is better to be big enough to talk to children than little enough to preach to grown-ups. Advice is depressing. Demonstra tion is catching. But one can never i teach a child by showing it what not to do. The doctors all agree that love is good medicine. It is a wonderful tonic and may be taken in many dif ferent ways. A boy usually likes his best with a little ginger in it. If he does not, be very careful of the case. Most important of all, I think, is self-respect. Self-respect is the an chor of character. What one knows about one’s self counts for much more than personal mention in the columns of t lie home-town paper. So long as self-respect holds one may ride out the wildest storm, but once let that anchor drag and shipwreck is certain. As I have said before, this equality stuff is dangerous. When you say to your children, “You are no better than anyone else,” look out! The growing youngsters will need a lot of the suit of common sense to save themselves from such rot. Help your boys and girls to think straight. Teach them to accept as perfectly natural the fact that they are better than some of the boys and girls they know about, just as you, their parents, are better than the fa thers and mothers of those less for tunate boys and girls. And then — why then, because they are better than some other children, and because Dad and Mom are better than some other fathers and mothers, “there are some things that we simply do not do. We do not do those things be cause we are not that kind of people. Os course we could do those things if we wanted to. But we don’t want to because if we did we would be, in fact, no better than anyone else.” Oh, yes indeed, then you must bear down hard on the personal responsi bility which goes with being better than some other people. Exactly! This system will work only when father and mother are, in fact, better than some other fathers 1 and mothers. It will not work at all when father and mother merely as j sume that they are better than other j people. If you are not reasonably certain of this factor in your problem you must proceed with great caution. However, if your team work I was somewhere near 100 per cent before your first was born, you may he reasonably certain that you are a whole lot better than most parents. You may be sure, too, that, given this starting chance, the other mem bers of the growing family will do their share, and that father and moth er and sons and daughters will more and more pull together as the years go by. j -V,. With this- sort of teamwork the game is as good as won. Without it— well —games have been won by those who \ ere forced to ploy a lone hand, but the odds against such a victory are heavy.
