I am sorry anything was said it. this correspondence about the f> ing party. We didn’t know there w;.. any secret about it. However, if we do what we know to be strictly against the law, how can wc expect to teach the younger generation to respect the laws? If I mould be punished for such viola tion. I should accept the punish ttipnt as my due. lam not so old nor so nearly perfect that I do n t need correction. If we go on hard-headed, we may expect some day to give an account of our selves, in the courts below or above. God, even if our own courts should be. is no repsecter of persons, white or black. H.F.D. DUNCAN REUNION and BIG FAMILY DINNER The Duncans and their relatives bad a family reunion and ' dinner together last Sunday at John F. Duncan’s, near Rocky River Bap tist church. They were there from Raleigh, Hertford county, Greensboro, Ram seur, Asheville and from the sur rounding community where most of them live. 253 were present at the dinner hour. \ Autos were parked all around the yard and lot and into the field. Baskets were taken from the cars and unloade-d on a long table under the shade of trees in the lot. R. B. Lineberry, of Harrells ville. who said he was the oldest of the living Duncan family except Henry S. Duncan, made a few wel come remarks, and Rev. Oscar Lind ley returned thanks. After dinner two Cooper brothers made good music, Rev. Oscar Lindley made some remarks on the pleasure and importance of reunions. He said Duncans we v e from Scotland. He had found that a prominent Dun can in Scotland was once Prime Minister and a great Navel Expert. R. B. Lineberry gave some history of the Duncan family, William Dun can, born in 1802, married Eliza beth Justice born in 1799. They bad three children to die young but raised two sons and two daughters. They had in the family of their daughter Martha, who married W. A. Lineberry, 5 grand children, 11 great-grand children and 5 great great-grand-children; in the family of their son David, who married Jane Johnson, 12 grand children, 67 great-grand children, 94 great great-grand children and 2 great great-great-grand children; in the family of their son William A. who married" Bethunia Bridges, 7 grand children, 30 great-grand children, 19 great-great-grand child ren, and in the family of their daughter Sarah who married Zeno Johnson one grand child and 4 great grand children. In closing this sketch of history, being now 70 years old himself he read appropriate lines in recollec tion of his grand parents. They organized by ejecting C. E. Duncan President and M. W. Duncan secretary. William Duncan died in 1883; his wife died in 1863. All their children and their wives and husbands are dead and seven of the grand children are dead. RESOLUTION of RESPECT Whereas the tragic death of Roy Carroll has removed from our midst: a friend and a brother. We feel very keenly the loss of a faithful member in his going. Therefore Be it resolved that: 1. That Ala-Chat Council No. 21 sons and daughters of liberty has lost a true and faithful member. 2. That we bow in humble sub mission to the one who doth all yell, and may this tragic death be the means of helping those of us that are now living, should death come to us so suddenly. 3. That we extend to his be reaved family our deepest sym pathy. May they look to Jesus Christ the Great Comforter. 4. That a copy of these resolu tions be sent to the bereaved family and a copy sent Visitor, The C itham Record and The Burlington Ntws for publication, and a copy be filed in the minutes of the recording secretary. Committee John R. Goodwin A. C. Mcßane ine Chatham Kecord News of the Week on' Chatham County Farms As the season progresses, we learn of more Chatham farmers who are using intelligent methods for control of boll weevil damage. Mv.i DeWitt Smith of Pittsboro, RFD 3, has dusted his cotton twice thoroughly with a good duster and is prepared to continue dusting through the season as needed. Mr. Smith has an excellent type of hand gun, which can be used practically, as his acerage is not large. Mr. Smith states that two dustings of bis cotton has made a great dif ference in the amount of boll weevil damage done, and jie is hop ing to make a bumper crop this year. * * * Mr. H. C. Johnson of Farm ville is another farmer who is using intelligent methods 'in controlling boll weevil 'damage. Mr. Johnson has a traction drawn two-row dus ter which does the work thoroughly and efficiently. He also has applied several applications of dust to his cotton. * * * Good crops of lespedeza turned last fall or this winter are now beginning to show up under corn. Where corn on fallow land is be ginning to trun yellow and look sickly, corn following lespedeza still holds a healthy, green color and is growing well. Mr. W. H. Tyler near Gollston has a field of corn in front of his house that follows a crop of les pedeza turned under. This corn has a healthy color and shows that it is growing right. Mr. Tyler ex pects to make o good crop of corn here. —— HOGS ARE NOT HEAT RESISTANT The hog has the least resistant to heat of any of the classes of. live stock. When the mercury rises to 100 degrees, it is not necessary to have electric fans, but hogs should have shade and fresh water, for if shade and water are not available, hogs will make slow gains, or no J gains, and possibly, die from heat prostration. Feed, water, and com fort are all necessary for economical gains. The natural shades, such as trees and shrubs afford the most sat isfactory shades. A temporary but satisfactory shade may be made by setting posts in a rectangle, connect ing them by two-inch by four inch nieces to make a support with pine brushes. This pine brush does not turn the rain, but it does protect from the sun. An ideal arrangement, and one that a number of farmers can have, ; s a running stream bordered by shade trees and adjacent to a field of alfalfa or soy beans. Ruring the heat of the day, the porkers can lie in the shade, or wallow in the running stream, while in the even ing or early morning the may busy themselves by hogging down the forage. * * * CURING AND STORING HAY IMPORTANT IN DAIRYING Hays that are allowed to bleach in the sunlight or are exposed to rainfall lose much of their feeding value. Because of the heavy rains, it takes considerably effort to cure hay properly for dairy purposes with a maximum of feeding value. This loss is true especially of the mineral and vitamin quality of the hay, another form of loss being the shedding of the leaves which contain much of the feed value of the hays. i Thirty to forty percent of the feed value of the hay may be saved by housing properly at the right time, and during the slack season before hay harvesting it is well to see that the hay rooms are pro perly roofed and large enough for the hay. Very serviceable buildings need not be expensive. The cheapest place to store hay is in a building which can be filled with hay from the ground up. If the hay is spread out over a wide area, it will cure with its fresh green color and make hay of the highest quality. * As to the amount of hay needed, if there is not silage for the herd, it is advisable to save at least two tons of good hay per cow for the season and one ton each for yearl ing heifers. * * * TIMELY CHATHAM COUNTY FARM TOPICS Those farmers who have been •dusting cotton should not “Let Up” now. The recent rains and cool weather will serve to bring out boll weevils in larger crowds than ever, and at least two applications of poison, properly made, should be on cotton within the next three weeks, one week or ten days apait. * * * Clip the weeds off of those' les pedeza fields now and give the lespedeza a chance to grow. Remem ber that lespedeza does not make its best growth,until the hot weather during August and early September. Then too, lespedeza cannot make its • proper growth when crowded with weeds, and seed saving is PLEASE TURN TO PAGE THREE PITTSBORO, N. C., CHATHAM COUNTY, THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1930 Mrs. J. C. Andrews Died on July 18 Mr. J. C. Andrews died /at his home in Pittsboro last Friday morn ing at the age of 73 years and 28! days. The burial took place Satur day afternoon at Edward Hill , ' Friends church, near Bonlee. Revs. R. R. Gordon and A. H. Porter con ducted the funeral service. Mr. Andrews has lived in Pitts boro for the last three or four years, but has been comparatively unknown to the citizens in general, as he has been totally blind for five years and, in addition, has been in poor health. He came here when his son, Mr. E. H. Andrews, became supervisor of highway 90 after that road was taken over by the state. The family, or families, for Mr. S. L. Andrews, wife and child also live with the others, have occupied the Womble residence on Salisbury Street. But while Mr. Andrews is not well known here, he was for many years a stalwart citizen of the Bon lee section andi over there reared eleven sons and daughters who have reach maturity and still thrive, while one child died in- infacy. He first married Miss Sallie Emerson, to whom were born nine children, eight of whom survive, namely, Mrs. C. F. Moon, of the Bonlee section, R. M. Andrews of Burlington, J. W. Andrews of Bonlee, C. J. An drews of the Bonlee community, John B. of Burlington, C. M., of Burlington, H. C., 'of Fayetteville, and E. H., of Pittsboro. After the death of the first wife, Mr. An drews married Miss Maggie Hart, who survives him. She is the mother of three children, Miss Lala An drews, telephone operator here, Mrs. Robert Bowers of Siler City, RL 1, and S. L. Andrews, Pittsboro. In addition there are 21 grandchildren and one greatgrandchild, the latter being a daughter of a daughter of Mr. C. J. Andrews. In fact, it would | appear that the deceased’s progeny will one day largely populate this section, nine young families al ready appearing. Mr. Andrews was a farmer all during his active life, and it goes j without saying that he was a good one if he made enough to rear the many stalwart- sons and vigorous daughters of the family. Indeed, k is a most creditable group, and few citizens have done so much to ward supplying a worthy citizenry to this section. One brother, Mr. A. C. Andrews, survives. He and all the children and a number of grandchildren and nephews were at the burial. MISS PEARL JOHNSON RETURNS FROM CHINA Miss Pearl Johnson, whose voyage from China was announced several weeks ago, has arrived in North Carolina and has been with her sister, Mrs. Butis Benton at Apex. She arrived there last week. Her brother, Mr. Victor R. Johnson and Mrs. Jo'hnson ‘visited ’her thslre immediately after her arrival and the Bentons and Miss Johnson spent Sunday in Pittsboro. Miss Johnson has been a mission ary of the Southern Baptist Con vention for 14 years. She was home in 1922. Quite a coincident occured on her return, in that there was another missionary by the very same name returning on the same ship. In fact, the two Pearl John sons did not separate till they reached Asheville, where the other left our Miss Pearl to go to her home in South Carolina. Many friends are glad to know that Miss Johnson has returned safely and that she will be at home for a considerable period.- ® EPISCOPAL RECTORY The rector and .

Says Cost of Electric Current is Service * San Francisco, July 22.—Matthew S. Sloan, President /of the National Electric Light Association, in a statement issued recently, from the San Francisco Convention of the Association, challenged the ac curacy of statements reported to have been made by Ambassador Sackett ~dn a speech to the World Power Conference at Berlin. “Ambassador Sackett is mistaken in his fact. Electricity does not cost the great mass of consumers fifteen times what it costs to pro- 1 duce, as he said. On the average '• the country over the sales price ; to domestic consumers is not over • four times the cost of energy at the power house. “The Ambassador discloses a laqk of understanding of the fundamen- ; tal economics of business generally, and particularly of electric service. “Business men know that cost of goods at the factory is a small ; part of the price paid by customers. Cost of advertising, transporting, 1 distributing, selling, marketing, and servicing, taken together, are the largest element of sales price in most cases. “Electric service is no exception. The cost of electric power at the power house is the, smallest item. < The large items of expense in serv ing our domstic consumers are costs of lines, facilities to deliver the i electricity to their homes, losses in! delivery, reading the meters, billing, | -collecting, and maintaining the serv ice for instant use. These costs are incurred in large part regardless of how much electricity our house hold consumer uses. We do not sell a commodity. We sell a service. Our customers can not go to the power house and get their elec tricity, pay us cash, and carry it home. We can not store electricity and await future sales. Electric service must be constantly ready for immediate use in any quantity our customers demand. These con ditions govern the sales price. It is a matter of pride with us that* the average of prices to the great mass ' of consumers hs steadily been re duced year by year.” ® *************** * * * Gulf News * * * *************** Mr. and Mrs. D.
