home of Mr. W. H. Gilmore,
he Pittsboro-Goldston road, in
rulf township, was burned early
Tuesdav morning of last week, with
, ilmost total loss of all contents,
including a trunk containing $192
n monev. A ten-dollar gold-piece
recovered^uninjured.
Mr. Gilmore, wife and one daugh
r were at the barn, while the older
laughter was cooking breakfast. The
fire caught in the ceiling and before
it could be reached had made such
headway that there was no chance
o put it out or to save the contents
the house.
The home was a neat seven-room
’■evidence. Mr. Gilmore thinks that
insurance for S9OO was paid ahead.
He didn't have a record of the date
of payment, and the policy seems to
hare been in possession of a bank.
Mr. Gilmore had only recently re
turned to his farm home to live
after operating a saw mill in Colum
bus county for the past few years.
The other home was burned the
night after Mr. Gilmore’s was burn
ed It belonged to Mr. Matt Phillips’
of Bonlee and was new. The entire
contents were lost. There was some
insurance but not enough to cover
loss.

Made Liquor on the
Hearth of His Home
Fred Smith and Joe Burnett, both
colored, were lodged in jail last
Thursday on the charge of making
liquor. They were both arrested at
the Smith home, where the stilling
outfit was discovered. The still was
not in operation, but a barrel of
beer was found under a shed room
floor. The still was buried in an
I outhouse. The worm, however, was
f vw the house. It was evident that
lif still when in operation sat on
tie hearth and the smoke went up
the home chimney.
MOLASSES HELPFUL
IN AN EGG MASH
Almost every poultryman finds it
necessary to give the birds epsom
salts occasionally, in order to over
come constipation, as the result of
heavy grain feeding and close con
finement. The bad feature of giving
salts is that it tears down the cal
cium in the body.
Molasses in the poultry ration will
do the same thing as epsom salts, and
will not have the bad effects of salts.
Besides, molasses is extremely rich
in vitamin B, rich in minerals, and
ranks high in digestibilty. It is rich
er in vitamin B than some yeasts and
b one of the few ingredients used in
poultry rations not deficient in
potash.

By what processes of figuring the

40 Jews Slaughtered
by Jerusalemn Arabs
Rioting in Jerusalem, starting
when a band of Arabs attacked a
number of orthodox Jews near the
old Wailing Wall of ancient Solo
mon’s Temple, resulted in the death
of forty or more Jews and an un
determined number of Arabs. Spo
radic rioting has been in progress
for several days, the worst outbreak
occurring Saturday. British warships
were ordered to proceed to the port
of Jaffa (ancient Joppa) and British
soldiers were transported by air
plane from Egypt to Palestine to
quell the disturbance.
The Wailing Wall, which is all that
remains of the temple, is regarded
as the most sacred spot in the world
by the orthodox Jews and they claim
the right to meet and worship there.
This right was contested by the
Mohammedan Arabs who also claim
Mount Moriah as one of their most
sacred shrines.
‘There are a number of American
citizens in the newer Jewish colonies
throughout Palestine and it is possi
ble that this country may be drawn
into action before the trouble is
settled.

BARNHILL FOR GOVERNOR
Now they’ve done it. Even before
the Charlotte trial gets started, be
fore the state really knows whether
Judge Barnhill can handle it prop
erly or not, somebody suggests him
for governor. It’s a pity. If he does
as well with the Charlotte trial as
his recent experience in Gastonia
would indicate, he is too good a
judge to spoil by making him gov
ernor. If he doesn’t make good at
Charlotte he couldn’t be elected
anyway.

The big annual water festival at

ASKS COUNTIES TO
FORM HEALTH UNIT
Dr. Laughinghouse Suggests
That Chatham, Lee, and
Harnett Cooperate in Health
Work—Promises State Aid.
Sanford, Aug. 23.—Speaking here
tonight before the Sanford Kiwanis
Club Dr. Charles O’Hagan Laughing
house, state health officer, advocated
a tri-county health unit for Lee,
Chatham and Harnett. He stated
that Lee county has a population of
about 15,000 people, covering about
168,000 acres of land; that Chatham
has about 25,000 people, covering
about 450,000 acres of land; that
Harnettt has abou 33,000 people,
covering more than 375,000 acres of
land. The three counties contain be
tween 73,000 and 75,000 people
spread over an area of 993,000
acres. He urged that these three
counties begin now to devise ways
and means by which a tri-county
health department could be brought
about. “In the event this can be
done, the State will furnish a health
officer and a clerk to administer
the health work of the three counties
and each county will furnish the
nurses and sanitary inspectors neces
sary to the work in the respective
counties.”
He stated that farm lands were
decreasing in value because the
flower of rural youth was abandon
ing the country for the town, due
to the fact that public health and
personal hygiene has been taught in
all the country schools. “Why teach
youth,” he said, “that a certain thing
is a necessity and then fail to put
that thing in the community and in
the business in which we wish youth
to spend its maturity and old age.
Why aren’t the farm owners and the
farm laborer as much entitled to the
prevention of disease as the factory
owner and the factory hand?”

Legion Convention
Is Best in History
The best state convention of the
American Legion which closed at

Salem judge advocate general, and
Jack Edwards of High Point na
tional committeeman.
Among the guests of honor attend
ing the convention wefe Chief of
Staff General Summerall of the U.
S. Army and Major Pat Hurley, as :
sistant secretary of war. Three of
the state’s congressmen also were
on hand.
Entertaining features included a
colorful parade Monday afternoon, a
street dance that night, an air derby
and military band concerts Tuesday
afternoon, and general “whoopee.”
The Raleigh drum and bugle corps
was awarded the SIOOO cash prize

The Legion Auxiliary held its con
vention at the same time. Mrs. R.

Earthquake Result
of Dynamite Blast
A terrific explosion of dynamite
near Durham last Friday gave Pitts
boro the sensations of a minor
earthquake. Occupants of the court
house felt a definite tremor and
heard windows rattle that are silent
during high winds. Supt. Thompson
felt the quake at the school build
ing, and a number of merchants also
felt it. Others reported hearing an
explosion. It was confidently ex
pected that the newspapers would re
port a real earthquake shock, but
instead came the following report of
an explosion of dynamite near Dur
ham:
“Durham and vicinity was treated
Friday morning to what appeared to
have been a miniature earthquake
when a large quantity of dynamite
exploded at the county convict camp
three miles from here. Tremors were
felt over a radius of about five miles,
and window panes were shattered in
many sections, where the quakes
seemed to recur, as far as five miles
from the scene.
“Camp attendants were burning
about 10 cases of what was consid
ered “dead” dynamite.. It is believed
that a dynamite cap, was left in this
batch, causing the explosion. Every
building in the business section was
shaken, including the large office
buildings, and the report circulated
rapidly that Durham had been visit
ed by an earthquake in East Dur
ham, five miles from the explosion.
Window panes were shattered, and
at the county home, about half mile
away, windows were broken and the
dining room door torn to pieces*. A
number of windows at the camp were
broken, and several small boys, play
ing in the woods about half mile
away, were thrown to the ground,
flat. One Durham citizen said he
heard the explosion in Chapel Hill,
12 miles distant, and fear is ex
pressed that much plaster on walls
around the city has been cracked.
No one, however, was injured, and
little damage has been found in the
city.”

Sheriff Blair Makes
Dairy Development
Interesting developments may take
place right under one’s nose without
his being aware of them. Monday
afternoon Mr. Emory Thomas stop
ped the editor of the Record and
told him to get up and go and see
Sheriff Blair’s dairy barn and cows.
We found cement milking stalls
prepared for eleven cows, and saw
that many good cows brought in for
milking. An addition to the barn
giving sleeping quarters for 22 cows
and feeding arrangements, with
space for water tank and new milk
ing platforms when needed.
Sheriff Blair began operations
the first of August and is furnishing
30 gallons pf milk a day to the Hick
ory Mountain milk truck, which dis
poses of the milk in Durham. He is
getting 30 cents a gallon net. He
thinks the output from the same
cows will reach forty gallons when
his arrangements are complete and
the necessity for feeding several
young calves with milk is obviated.
He has a silo ready for erection and
corn growing to fill it this fall.
