Bishop Cannon has recently
expressed a desire to see a
chain of papers established to
incultate righteousness, pre
sumably his particular brand.
The saintly bishop would
: hardly like to see such a string
of papers this week roasting
him for his unchristian prac
tice of gambling on the stock
market and thus seeking to get
something for nothing. It was
the plain people who' sustain
ed the bishop in his political
attitude last fall, but hfe will
discover that the same folk
will not readily .excuse his
covetous practice. For covet
ousness is the essence of the
bishop's sin, though the tenth
commandment has practically
been relegated to the trash
heap by “practical business
men," and “reaping where one
has not sown” is accounted
merely good business sense. Os
course, the bishop failed to
get his load of grain home,
but he had put in his scythe
with vigor.

Angier Mirror Has
Summer Vacation
The Angier Mirror, a paper start
ed at Angier, Harnett county within
the past year, has found it necessary
to suspend till the fall. Fortunately,
the Mirror finds it possible to find
such a solution of its- summer-time
difficulties, others longer established,
.jldth an intermittent legal advertis-,
ing and foreign patronage, must con
tinue to come out, even if at a loss, *
in order to retain their footing and
be ready for the long-leoked-for im
provement in financial conditions.,
•But newspapers in this charter' 0 f the
state are hot the only business : enter-.
prises that might shut up for several
months with advantage _if they j
could take hold next fall 'without
hurt. It is a tough proposition when
one must work for nothing and pay j
his own board and maybe part of the
overhead expense in hold
his business for an expected im
provement in conditions. The profits
of some Chatham county stores, we
suspect, would scarcely pay the rent
al of the buildings, And this paper,
which has no real town back of it *
from which may be drawn advertis-;
• ing patronage to support it, can sym- 1
pathize with the publisher of the
Angier Mirror, even if it cannot have
the summer for a picnic season. .
But the situation could be im- *
proved by a little strain on the part j
of subscribers whose subscriptions
need renewing. The Record must de
pend in a greater measure than the
more fortunately located papers,
upon subscription money. But when
times are so hard it will not pay to
go or send out to attempt collections.
The attempt would cost all collected.
Accordingly, it is a hard pull till the
county has one more real crop.
Says the Mirror in announcing its
holiday suspension:
“Due to depressed business condi
tions, this paper finds it advisable
to suspend publication until Septem
ber 1, after which time publication
will again be resumed and all sub
scribers will receive their paper as
usual.
“It is a known fact that local con
ditions are such that even the county
board of commissioners found it
r> necessary to extend time to taxpay
ers on delinquent taxes. Advertisers
are not in position to carry and pay
for advertising, and the publisher
of this paper is not in position to
bear all the burden alone.
“If any subscriber is desirous of a
refund on his subscription for the
dates intervening between now and
September 1, he may have same by
addressing a letter to the publisher.
Otherwise, his subscription will again
start September 1 and will continue
for the full period of time. There
is no intention of fraud. It is simply
better to be safe than, sdrry.
“The paper has met with very fa
vorable reception and has received
the support of every business man in
Angier, as .well as subscribers but
it is an unfair -burden to shift to the
shoulders of any individual at this
• time, and is therefore * suspended un-
I til Septemebr 1. 1929.”

Growth of the Dairy
Industry in Chatham
Certain signs point to the begin
ning of a better era for farmers in
Chatham county. One of the most
potent signs is the growth of the
dairy industry. Three years ago the
possibilities of producing dairy
products in this county looked ex
tremely doubtful. However, during
the summer of 1926, a milk route
was started in the community of Hic
kory Mountain that has proved suc
cessful from the start. At the pre
sent time, there are two whole-milk
routes in the county and four cream
routes. The estimated income of
Chatham dairy products will run
around SIOO,OOO yearly, an increase
i° f over 300 per cent during the past
! three years.
j Beginning September Ist. a new
1 milk route embracing the communi
ties of Brown’s Chapel, Gum Springs
and Pittsboro will be started. Far
mers who will patronize this route
•.expect to supply 150 gallons of milk
daily, and increase the amount in the
i future.

Carload of Registered Jerseys to
> be Delivered at Siler City
The county Agent spent the week
of June 11 in Orange Virginia, buy
ing a carload of registered Jersey
1 cattle for Junior Club members. Dur
! ing the course of our vsiit, we saw
! some thirty-five herds of pure bred
; cattle, including the Montpelier herd
at Montpelier, Virginia. Three heif
ers were bought from this herd. In--
eluded in this, carload of Jerseys is
| a bull of unusually good breeding
* and type. This bull was imported in
dam from the Isle of Jersey, and we
hope he will find a good home in
Chatham.
• *' * *
PURE BRED SIRE CAMPAIGN
j During the month of July, a series
■ of meetings will be held in certain
1 communities of the county for the
. purpose of introducing some good,
’ pure-bred Jersey bulls in the county.
While the dates of meetings in the
r various communities have not been
; difinately decided as yet, there has
been made a tentative schedule,
. which is as follows:
THE CHATHAM RECORD, PITTSBORO. N. C.
were recent visitors here.
Miss Alice Ammen, the attractive
guest of Miss Frances Thompson for
the past week, returned to her home
at Pleasant Garden Sunday.
Mrs. Polly Overby, of McCullers,
spent last week here with her sons,
Messrs. N. T. and R. H. Overby.
Messrs. Jimmie Hamilton and
Billie Freeman, of Charlotte, have
returned home after spending a while
here with Mrs. J. H. Overby and
children.
Miss Grace Harrington, who at
tended the Graham high school the
past session is at home for the
summer.
Mr. and Mrs. Avery Marks and
children, Luther and Kent, have re
turned from Alta Vista, Va., where
they visited Mrs. Cecil, a sister of
Mrs. Marks.
The peftple of the community are
not very happy over the school ques
tion now. It seems that there is a
possibility of. losing the Brick Haven
school. We have one of the best
equipped two-teacher schools in the
county. . Too, we doubt if the people
of any school district anywhere have
worked more earnestly or more co
operatively, consequently, this pro
posed change strikes the very heart
of the community. We need our
school here and we hope that our
progressive superintendent of schools,
will see the question from the view
point of the patrons and will use his
influence in our behalf.
Little Gene Overby who has not
been well for the past few days was
taken to Dr. Sowers one day last
week. We hope the litle lady will
soon be all right again.
Tom Thompson was taken sudden
ly ill and was taken to a Sanford
hospital last Friday*/ He is at home
now and seems to be getting on
nicely.
Mr. A. M. Cotten was on the sick
list last week.
Mrs. O. C. Kennedy and Miss Ruth
Kennedy are spending some time
with Mrs. Kennedy’s father, Rev. C.
L. Dowell, of Forestville.

Dairy Industry Grows in
Western North Carolina
When the branch cheese manu
facturing plant was established at
West Jefferson in Ashe county
through the efforts of local citizens
and field workers of the Extension
Service, it was an admitted experi
ment. It was known that the section
was a good dairy country potentially
but there was doubt as to the necess
ary amount of milk being produced
at that time.
On the first day of operation, July
23, 1928, only 1,126 pounds of milk
were delivered. The factory people
said they must have at least 6,000
pounds a day for the plant to be
operated. On June 10, 1929, not
quite eleven months afterwards, the
plant received 19,557 pounds of
milk, and the next day, the deliveries
went over 20,000 pounds. E. C. Tur
ner, County Agent of Ashe, says the
deliveries will exceed 30,000 pounds
a day before the end of the summer.
The farmers received $25.90 for
milk sold the first day, and $410.69
■ for milk the 10th of June, 1929.
This shows graphically what has
happened in that section. About 500
patrons are selling milk to the fac
tory. It pays 50 cents per pound for
butterfat and the milk is sold on a
butterfat basis. Milk routes are
radiating from West Jefferson in all
directions. The producers are paid
twice each month and they are buy
ing pure-bred dairy cattle, are plant
ing more legumes .apd grass pastures,
are remodeling bid beef cattle i
into milking sheds .and a general air
of well being pervades the country
side.
F. R. Farnham, dairy specialist, I
who helped to establish the factory,
says that in the production of the
20,000 pounds of milk delivered in
one day, not over $25 worth of pur
chased feeds was used for the cows.
This means that the farmers have
started in the right way and are pro
ducing their feed at home, so that
their milk sales are profitable.
