Mr. Henry Bynum of Columbia,
S. C.. spent the week-end with his
parents here.
His friends were glad to have
Walter Siler here the first day of
court.
Frank Taylor, a respected colored
citizen, died Saturday, after a long
illness. He lived on the Sheriff
jUilliken place.
Miss Claytie Harper, who holds
a stenographic position in Raleigh,
spent the week-end with her par
ents near Pitsboro.
Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe Bass, of
Wilson county, came up for the
week-end, bringing Miss Gladys Pet
erson back with them after a visit
by her of three weeks.
Mr. R. P. Eubanks wishes the
Record to express his appreciation
for the kindness of his friends and
neighbors who enabled him to have
the necessary operation which he
recently underwent and for gen
eral kindness.
Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Mann had as
guests during the week-end Miss
Elsie Grady, a student at the Uni
versity, and Mr. C. B. Martin, a
student at Wake Forest College.
It is gratifying to learn that Mr.
James L. Griffin, who has been
quite ill at Watts Hospital for
months, is reported as rapidly im
proving in health. His friends hope
he may soon be able to come home,
where he is greatly missed.
Mr. J. C. Andrews, who has been
very ill for the last few weeks,
seemed better the first of the week.
Pittsboro people should feel very

| John Parker Rejected
by Senate Vote 41-39
| $>
The nomination of Judge John J.
Parker of North Carolina to the
supreme court was rejected by the
senate late yesterday by a vote of
, 41 to 39. The result had been in
; doubt until the roll call. Friends
of Judge Parker had hoped that
they might win by a vote; they
‘ were prepared even for a tie, when
Vice President Curtis would have
cast the deciding vote for confirma
tion. When Senator Deneen of Illi
nois, who has a large negro con
stituency, voted “no” it was realized
the case was almost hopeless.
President Hoover stood staunchly
by the appointment and refused ev
ery suggestion that he withdraw
Parker’s name. There is even now
the suggestion that he may send it
back to the senate and appeal to
the country to bring pressure upon
that body for confirmation.
It is generally conceded that the
three main factors contributing to
Parker’s defeat are his alleged bias
against organized labor, as indicated
in the West Virginia mine case;
his statement ten years ago that the
Negro in North Carolina was not
qualified for full participation in
politics; and the charge that the ap
pointment was made solely as a
political sop to the South.' It is
being charged now, however, that
the real basis of opposition came
from the wets, and that they merely
used these other surface matters as
a smoke screen. Parker is known
to be an absolute dry, personally,
politically and judicially.
Washington observers believe that
President Hoover will nominate
Owen J. Roberts of Pennyslvania,
if he decides not to rename Parker.
Roberts is special counsel for the
government in some of the big oil
cases and is said to be satisfactory
to ns'ost of the element which op
posed Parker, including the wets.
Inquiry Reveals Source
of Anti-Smith Funds
The senate committee investigat
ing campaign expenditures has
reached the matter of Anti-Smith
associations in 1928. E. C. Jameson,
New York insurance man, who was
the largest single contributor to
Hoover’s expenses, testified Tues
day. Mr. Jameson said he gave a
total of $195,000 to aid Hoover’s
election. More than $67) ,000 of this
went to the Virginia Anti-Smith as
sociation headed by Bishop Can
non. Bishop Cannon had previously
reported receiving $17,000. The
committee is now trying to find
what became of the other $48,000,
at present unaccounted for. One of
the most startling disclosures was
Mr. Jameson’s statement that the
late James W. Good, Hoover’s first
secretary of war, and Bascom
Slemp, private secretary to Presi
dent Coolidge, advised him to join
the Anti-Smith crowd. This yas the
first direct connection established
between the Hoover group, the na
tional Republican party and the
Anti-Smith association.
The North Carolina Anti-Smith
club, headed by Frank McNinch and
Frank Hampton, the latter private
secretary to Senator Simmons, has
never made report on its finances
as required by law. It is under
stood that the senate committee
will soon take up the North Caro
lina ease.
Quarter Million for
Senate Nomination
Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, re
cently nominated in the Republican
primary in Illinois for the United
States senate, reports that she spent
$252,500 to get the nomination.
That is about 25 years salary for
the job. It seems, however, that
it was all her own money. Having
plenty of it she was not averse to
spending it, and being her own such
action places her under no obliga
tion to anybody. In that respect
her excessive expenditures differs
from the Pennyslvania and Illinois
campaigns of four years ago. James
Hamilton Lewis, Democratic nomi
nee, reports that he spent $35 to
get his nomination. Some wag has
remarked that the difference be
tween $35 and $252,000 represents
about the difference in actual value
of the Republican and Democratic
nominations in Illinois.
DID YOU EVER
STOP TO THINK?
By EDSON R. WAITE
Shawnee, Oklahoma
That it is not necessary for you
to go to some other city or send
to buy anything.
The stores of your city are in
position to supply your every want.
They sell at reasonable prices the
highest quality of merchandise.
Along with the growth of your
city, your home merchants are al
ways making improvements and add
ing to their stocks to take care of
increasing business—always keep
ing in stock the best merchandise
at a price that can’t be beat else
where.
Local merchants aim to retain
trade by furnishing better service
and better quality at better terms
and prices.
If you don’t read local advertise
ments and buy from your local
merchants, you are a loser.
People who earn money in one
city and spend it in another should
move to the other city. It will be
no loss to the home city if they
do.

1 GARDEN NOTES
FOR MAY
| |
Prepared by E. B. MORROW,
Extension Horticulturist
Pest Control in the Home Garden
The first essential in successful
pest control is good equipment. For
the home gardener, the most gen
erally useful piece of equipment is
a compressed air sprayer of 2 or
3 gallons capacity. A hand duster
is also desirable. The second es
sential is a supply of spray and
dust materials. This brings up the
subject of a practical means of
measuring spray materials in small
amounts. An 8-ounce glass measur
ing cup is quite useful for this
purpose. It is graduated in thirds
and quarters, and may be pur
chased at most dime stores. Now
( for control measures for the more
important pests;
1. Mexican Bean Beetle: Spray
with magnesium arsenate at the
rate of 1 pound to 50 gallons of
water or 1 ounce (1-3 cup) to 3
gallons. Magnesium arsenate may
be used in dust form by mixing 1
pound with 3 pounds of hydrated
lime. Spraying gives better results
than dusting. Begin the applica
tions as soon as the adult beetles
become -numerous and repeat every
week or ten days, or as often as
necessary.
2. Colorado Potato Beetle: Spray
or dust with calcium arsenate or
lead arsenate. For spraying, use
2 pounds to 50 gallons of water
or 2 ounces (2-3 cup) to 3 gallons.
If used in dust form, mix IVz
pounds with BY2 pounds of hydrated
lime.
3. Cabbage Worm: Use same
materials and strengths recommend
ed 'for the potato beetle. Calcium
caseinate spreader at the rate of
2 level tablespoons to 3 gallons
will help to make the spray stick
to the smooth cabbage leaves.
4. Cucumber Beetle: Apply a
poisoned Bordeaux dust as soon as
the plants are up and repeat if
necessary in a week or ten days.
5. Harlequin Cabbage Bag:
Sometimes called “Terrapin Bug”
and “Lincoln Bug.” To control it,
spray while the bugs are young with
a soap solution made by dissolving
1 pound of soap in a gallon or two
of boiling water and diluting to
make 6 gallons. White soaps give
better results than fish oil soaps
or yellow laundry soaps. Flake
or beaded soap may be used if de
sired. Two cups of flake or beaded
soap will make a gallon of the |
spray mixture. Soap sprays should
be applied before they become cold
enough to gel. The bugs must be
hit with the spray material.
6. Plant Lice: Spray or Just
with nicotine sulphate ( black leaf
40) or use a commercially pre
pared pyrethrum spray. Nicotine
sulphate may be used in small
amounts at the rate of 1 tablespoon
tp 3 gallons of water. By adding!
1 cup of flake or beaded soap,
the material will be more effective.|
Commercially prepared nicotine
dusts are obtainable from dealers.
If pyrethrum sprays are used, they
should be diluted according to the
strength recommended by the man-;
ufacturer.
An Unpleasant Subject
All of the functions of life are
not pleasant to consider. Perhaps
this is why some mothers refuse to
think that such symptoms as rest
less sleep, loss of flesh, lack of ap
petite or itching nose and finders in
their children, can be caused by
round or pin worms. Many mothers
have proven, however, that a few
doses of White’s Cream Vermifuge,
that sure and harmless worm ex
pellant, will make these symptoms
disappear. You can get White’s
Cream Vermifuge for 35 cents per
bottle from Pittsboro Drug Co.

POORLY FED, EARLY BRED
HEIFERS HURT DAIRYING
$
A recent United States Depart
ment of Agriculture circular shows
that of 200,000 cows of different
breeds throughout the U. S. the
larger cows, in the breeds produce
more milk, more butterfat, and
more net profit.
Southern cows are below the
average in size for the breed to
which they belong because of two
practices followed by dairy farmers.
First, heifers are not fed enough
from six months of age until they
freshen to produce normal growth.
Most farmers feed calves satisfac
torily until they are hix months old
because they have learned that if
they do not, they will die. The
second practice responsible for
small cows is running the bull with
the cows and heifers. Under this
system, the young heifers breed
when they are nine to fifteen
months old and produce their first
calf when under two years old.
Contrary to popular opinion,
carrying the calf does not have a
serious effect on the young heifers
growth. It is the milking period
following calving which produces
the stunted condition of cows.
Even small heifers produce dry
matter in the first week or ten days
of their milking period equal to
that of the calf when it is born.
Since the calf is produced over a
period of many months, this is
not a serious factor.
| The practice of breeding heifers
when they are too young must be
changed if we expect to get the
greatest profit from dairying. The
only solution of this problem is
for each farmer to build a pen
in which the bull can be kept
separate from the heifers and the
milking herd. Then the heifers may ■
be breed at the proper age, de- j
pending on her size and by good 1
feeding, they can be grown to
normal sizze.

Dangerous Business
-—& —
Our stomach and digestive sys
tems are lined with membrane
which is delicate, sensitive and eas
ily injured. It is dangerous busi
ness, then, to use medicines con
taining harsh drugs, salts or min
erals, when we are constipated. In
addition to the possibility of injur
ing the linings of our digestive sys
te’n, these medicines give only tem
porary relief and may prove habit
forming. The safe way to relieve
constipation is with Herbine, the
cathartic that is made from herbs,
and acts in the way nature intend
ed. You can get Herbine at Pitts

John Ramsey Colored
Dies at Albany, N. Y.
Grant Ramsey, a respectable col
ored citizen of the Haywood com
munity, received a telegram on May
4 to the effect that his son John
had died at Albany, N. Y. Death
was unexpected. The body was
brought home for burial, arriving
on the 7th of May, accompanied by
his wife and son and R. L. Gordon,
a lodge friend, and Mrs. Lydia
Jones.
The burial was on Thursday. The
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Banks of the Congregational
church, assisted by R. L. Gordon.
John had been working for the
N. Y. Central Railroad. He had
been away from Chatham several
years. He had evidently made many
friends, as the floral tributes from
his northern friends were the most
beautiful ever seen in the Haywood
cemetery. The body was laid away
in a very beautiful casket in a steel
vault.
The burial was largely attended,
as the father of the young man,
Grant Ramsey, is one of the most
popular men of his race and a pros
perous farmer. He is held in high
esteem by both white and colored.
John was a Mason and a member
of the Eastern Star. Both lodges
sent beautiful floral designs. He
was 41 years of age. A wife and
one son, 14 years old, are left to
mourn his death, besides his father,
step-mother, and two brothers.
The body of Rudolph Prinec, son
of Edward Prince, formerly of this
county, was brought from Washing
ton, D. C., and buried at Rose Hill
A. M. E. L. church, Sunday, May
4. He was 20 years of age. Part
of his family came with the body.
The Haywood school colored,
closed a good seven-months session
May 9th. Two very good plays fea
tured the closing. Principal Hunter
j and his assistant Miss Laster have
1 worked hard this year.
