Faison and baby girl spending the week . with the * nu'Fs parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peterson We note that R. H. Abernethy of pvtum was one of the baseball p V' at Elon College who won the “E”. • | The Elon and Campbell College \ vs are back home for the holidays. The University and other college indents will soon be in. We boasted rather early of that Saturday shower. It was very light cold weather followed that more ia counterbalanced the benefit the shower. Fire felt good for (jav or two. * i Many friends regret the serious i rit 'S of Mrs. Henry A. London during the past week. However, good to know that her wonted itp’iience is restoring her to her, accustomed health. | We hear that the physicians at Watts Hospital are hoping that 31: Jas. L. Griffin may come home in time to vote in the primary. That will be fine. 1 i Mr. J. H. Anderson of Lillington v.in Pittsboro Monday with a >v of moving his Harnett county . mill to Mr. Alf Norwood’s in Baldwin township. J. T. Bland visited Mr. R.

A nice shower Saturday after r. n brightened uu gardens and 3 Fends just when such a shower \yp- beginning to be needed. Things ] -v. h good this year. Maybe Chat h. n is to have a real crop. Misses Virginia Bean and Eleanor 1 Shoemaker attended the senior ball at the University as guests of Messrs. Lee Powell and Willie Mor gan. By the way, Miss Shoemaker, who has been here during the past school session with her aunt, Mrs. j Matthews, is returning to her home in Michigan. I If you cannot pay your sub- j scription, don’t be backward in tell-! ing us that you cannot do it but will as soon as you can. Not to hear a word from a subscriber who is behind makes us wonder some times if he wants the paper. These hard times we are trying to ac comm pate our subscribers, but do not wan: to send the Record to a single person who does not ap preciate it. Mr. 0. R. Hilliard wishes it an nounce i that the Hiliiard-Elkins- Perry-Philips reunion will be held year at Hickory Grove church near Harper’s Cross Roads on the fifth Sunday in June, and that every body, especially of the family con nections mentioned, is invited to come and bring a well filled basket. Brother Daily’s picnic was a big thing. The editor failed to get there, but regrets missing the big dinner ( and the many fine folks present. It is reported that there were pos sibly more than 200 people present, including preachers galore. Even one of the editors of the Christian Advocat was present. Baptist, jPres byterian, Episcopal, as well as Methodist, preachers were there, and still many basketfuls of whole food and fragments were taken up. Verily, it must have been a big dinner! Several sprightly talks were niade. It was Brother Daily’s birth day, but we fear that a few such days would mean fewer for that hearty brother. <s Wh en anger blinds the mind, I truth disappears.—German proverb. f / N APPEARANCES DECEPTIVE An officer said: “I can always spot a home brew enthusiast because of a callus across the bridge of his nose, caused from drinking hootch out of a fruit jar. Maybe? that callus was made by his speeta • cles. (*e can’t ALWAYS tell. Appearances 1 are often deceptive. It is not always the big | bank with the finest marble fixtures that is I the soundest financially. OUR bank furnishes as good facilities as any of the big city banks. I Deal with us and see if we are not right. THE BANK OF GOLDSTON * J { HUGH WOMBLE, Pres. T. W. GOLDSTON, Cashier GOLDSTON, N. C. .V J 'Civilization Hardly Skin Deep Did you ever read of a more savage behavior among the wild indians i than that among the supposedly ! civilized people of Sherman Texas 'as described in the following sum ming up from the Monroe En quirer? Here it is: | That our vaunted Christian civi lization is only thin veneer, I sub mit the following extract from the , notorious Sherman, Texas, lynch - ing: | A great cry went up when the first men in the vault dumped the body, still limp as if recently dead, down the ladder from the second story hole in the wall. The body I rolled over and over down the lad der, striking the ground with a thump. Women, babies in their arms, shrieked and cried out with what observers termed ghoulish glee. Men seized upon the lifeless negro, tied a chain about the body, fastened it to the rear of an auto mobile and started “down to nigger town.” i Through the streets of the negro I section they dragged their bloody load and the journey ended at a large negrostore which housed a drug store, beauty shop, undertak ing parlor, tailor shop and other enterprises. j A tree was nearby. The body ' was strung up to the tree and boxes piled beneath. A fire was lighted, then the drug store was set fire and a brilliant Texas moon added it rays to the gruesome sight. ] After virtually destroying the 1 drug store the mob surged down a three block section of the negro district, a stampede of humanity ran amuck, clubs, bricks, bottles and fists were wielded against windows and doors. Virtually every ' store was entered and its interior wrecked. Soon the sidewalks were covered with broken glass which, sparkling I in the glare from torches, the flam ing building and the moon, cast grotesque shadows on the dangling figure of the negro, hung to the tree by the chain which had dragged . the body through the streets of Sherman. j COUNTY COURT CASES Judge Bell convened court Mon ! day long enough to dispose of two cases. Both defendants pleaded guilty. John Allen Clark, for aban donment, pays cost and $5.00 a month for two years toward the ■ support of his children. Bond of S2OO required. I June Snipes for stealing chick ens pays costs and gives S2OO bond for good behaviour. A. L. Brooks and G. B. Emerson were prosecut ing witnesses. Rufus Bynum lost the chickens. | <*> Girl’s Friendly Society Meets The G. F. S. candidates met with Mrs. Snannonhouse, the directress, on Wednesday afternoon, May 21. After preliminaries, each of the eight members present gave a cur rent event as her name was called. As they paid their dues they told how they had earned the money. The dues are five cents a month. After all reports were given, as unfinished business we discussed the story read last month. Bet John son rehearsed he story. As new business we decided to learn the Girl’s Friendly Prayer. As each learns it she is to receive a cad didate’s button. A<JkeC Mrs. Shannonhouse had read us several stories with good morals, we looked at the picture brought by the girls. After that we went out in the yard and played Sardines, a game we all enjoyed. Finally Mrs. Shannonnouse took us ! all up to the drug store and treated ■us to ice cream and cake. I think we enjoyed this meeting better than any other we have had. BET JOHNSON, REPORTER The 7th Millionth Chevrolet Detroit, Mich., May 28 —The seven millionth car built by the Chevrolet Motor Company is on its way to its owner somewhere in America. The epochal car, which happened to be a coach, rooled off the assembly line Wednesday morning, May, 28, in the company’s huge plant at Flint, Mich. The car was the 1,845,938 six-cylinder car produced by Chervolet since this model was brought out in Janurary 1929. THE CHATHAM RECORD, PITTSBORO. N. C. Dickens Loses SIOO Worth of Bacon Mr. B. M. Dickens, of Brickhaven, j was here Monday morning to have j the sheriff go and try to j*et atrack of the miscreant who stole his bacon on Sunday night. He had lost all the bacon he had except one ham, and thinks that was left because the thief became , uneasy and not out of good will. I The rascal went in at the rear of the smoke house, breaking his way in. When Mr. Dicken’s son came in about ten or eleven o’clock he saw the collie dog acting as if he had seen something behind the smoke house, but he did not consider it seriously, and it is supposed that < the thief was then busy and that! the coming of the young man caused him to leave the one ham. The car in which it was taken away must have been parked at a considerable distance, as Mr. Dick- j 1 ens saw no evidence of parking ' near the place. < Officers went down to spy out the land, but it would be surprising to report that any definite clue had been found. However, it would seem • to be some one the dog knew or, if J he is a typical collie, he would have ' objected more seriously. j A BELL REUNION j j Mr. John Bell and sister Mrs. R. P. Johnson have recently had quite a reunion of the Bell family. Mr. and Mrs. William Bell of Chicago were here and at Moncure several days. Mr. and Mrs. John Bell, Jr., came over from Fuquay Springs, where Johnnie manages one of the Progressive groceries. Mr. and Mrs. William Utley of Moncure have also been at the Johnson home. Harry Bell came for a visit from Sanford, and Miss Minnie from her school. Mr. William Bell is now holding the responsible position of advertis ing- manager for the Quaker Oats Company in Chicago, and has <x million and a quarter dollars to spend each year in advertising the products of the company in whose services he has grown up, starting as salesman in a small district of this state. It goes without saying , that he is drawing a fine salary. ■■■ ' ■ McNEILL BOOK CLUB ■ The McNeill Book Club held its May meeting with Mrs. George Brooks, Dr., with nine members pre sent. Mrs. William Bell and Mrs. Will Utley attended as special guests of the club. The program was devoted to Will iam Sidney Porter, better known, by his pseudonym of O. Henry. The features of the program were well chosen, being such as would refresh the memory of the best known facts of Porter’s life as well as call attention to the events, equally interesting but not ’so generally known. | Mrs. N. C. Shiver read “The Mu nicipal- Report,” which in the view of many is O. Henry’s best story. Mrs. Shiver has a pleasing voice, good enunciation and interpreta tion and these pleasing qualities made her reading most enjoyable to her audience. Other members contributed in teresting facts about O. Henry, one quoting the characterization of him as “the tallest of North Carolina’s literary pines.” Chatham Boys Win Big Honors It is a most notable fact that three Chatham county youths among 2000 University students have at tained the highest distinctions al lowed to about sixty students. Os 39 students receiving the Kappa Beta Alpha keys, as marks of the highest scholarship, two hail from Chatham —C. W. Goldston of Gold ston and Lawrence London of Pitts boro. Two or three weeks ago, the Record cited young Harper of Pitts boro as distinguished by being one of the few admitted to the Golden Fleece honor society. The number of Chatham students at the Uni versity is insignificant among the hosts there, but the number of honor men is all out of proportion. $ To the Democratic Vot ers of Chatham County — I recommend to you W. H. Gar ner of Goldston. He is a loyal Democrat, farmer, and business man who has made a success of his own business and is well fitted and capable of representing our county in the State Senate. As we have not had a representa tive from this part of the county in over twenty years, we feel that we are entitled to some recognition and should have it. We also feel that Center township, and especially Pittsboro, has had its full share of representatives and office holders. With two Pittsboro lawyers cho sen as judge find solicitor of the County'Recorder’s Court and with two other Pittsboro lawyers seeking places as senator and representative, it would appear as if the Pittsboro lawyers would bobble up the whole works as far as their number would suffer. That would make four of them in office, not to count the county attorneyship and attorney ship to the school board, leaving only one more Democratic lawyer in town to be provided for. Under those circumstances, it seems that we are getting to place where we are living under lawyer domination. Consequently, the peo ple of this part of the county feel that we should have a man to repre sent us in the senate who is not a lawyer. Garner is a farmer and a business man. Remember that only primary day. Respectfully, D. H. Ellis, Rt. 1, Bear Creek, N. C. “ <Political Advertising) How About This, J. Dewey? Perhaps our friend J. Dewey Dor sett does not see the Monroe En quirer, and would miss the follow ing paragraph unless- we print it. Besides, we want his friends here in Chatham to see how liberal Dewey is to the afflicted: Thus comments the Enquirer: This workmen’s compensation is * about to go to seed. It is said that Charles Everhart, while cutting a chew of his own tobacco, stuck his own knife in his own thumb, re sulting in infection and an opera tion, he has been awarded over S2OO incompensation from the insurance carrier of the Thomasville Chair Companv. according to a ruling of J. Dewey Dorsett, industrial com missioner at Raleigh. How come? Isn’t this compensation business for the purpose of compensating those ‘ who are injured while doing the work they are being hired to do? Or did the Thomasville Chair Com pany have Everhart hired to cut and chew tobacco? ® ICE CREAM SUPPER The B. Y. P. U. of Mt. Gilead Baptist church will sell ice cream at Mr. A. T. Ward’s Bynum, N.
