THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1930 *************** « * TOWN AND * * COUNTY BRIEFS * * * ************** It is gratifying to note that Dr. Arthur H. London, Jr., is to come t Pittsboro each week, on Tuesday, :or the practice of infants’ diseases. London is practicing in Durham ; mi i s a i 9 ° teaching his specialty *n the medical school of Duke University. Dr. London’s visits to riittsboro wi’tl give an •pportunity to secure the expert service without visiting a city at greater cost. Sqe <Dr. London’s card in this paper. Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe Bass, of Wilson county, visited Mrs. Bass’s parents here during the week-end. Mrs. Bass and son Hubert and daughter Pauline, of Lucama, visited Mrs. Bass’s mother, Mr. Barnes, on the Moncure road, during the week end. Lemuel S. Dixon whose pension was paid through the Guilford county clerk of court for many years after his death was a native of Chatham and lived pert of the time while two pensions were being paid in his name with a grandson here in this county, Mr. G. S. Smith. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Geo. H. Brooks, Jr., on September 10 at Watts hospital, Durham, a son, Geo. H. Brooks 111. Mrs. Mattie Calvert is spending a few weeks here. Her son, Dr. Williams, professor of English at Williams College, also spent a few days here, but has gone to take up his work at Williams, the college of Marks Hopkins and the Gar fields. Mr. Lester Farrell left Monday to take up his work as a student at Wake Forest. The folowing named young men are off to the University: John and Lawerence London, Billie Chapin, Brooks Petty, Lee Powell, C. C. Hamlet, Jr., and possibly others. Miss Alma Dailey leaves Friday to matriculate at Duke University. Miss Azile Hill returned Tuesday from a stay at Watts hospital. Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Eubanks re turned Sunday from a two-week’s visit to their son in Greensooro and daughter in Winston-Salem. Miss Sankie Perry is again teach nig at Maxton. • It is gratifying to the friends of Mr. Harry K. Dorsett of Siler City to know that he has a professor ship in Baylor University, the great Baptist college of Texas. Mr. J. J. Siler, who left this county seventy years ago, has been visiting in the county, but probably found few of his old friends still aiive. However, Mr. Siler must him self be robust, since he is nominated as a candidate for the legislature of Tennessee. He lives at Toone. He was accompanied back to Chat ham by J. A. Siler, who has been away 49 years, but was here on a visit seven years ago. Mr. Joe Ingle of Silk Hope lost a barn ten days ago by fire. A hog that would not leave the barn was burned. The loss was considerable, being estimated at a SIOOO. * Miss Gladys Peterson is visiting her sister, Mrs. N. R. Bass, in Wil son county. It is gratifying to learn that there is a strong probability that the oil mill will began operations next week. The new owners seem dis posed to begin operations earlier than usual. The ginnery is ready for business, i(nd the fertilizer plant has a supply of fertilizer on hand. With the beginning of opera tion of the oil mill and the gin nery, work will be available for a number of hands now probably not very profitably employed or entirely idle.

Don’t squirrels in Chatham, Wake, Lee, Durham, Harnett, or Orange till October 15. If you want to go hunting go over to Randolph or Alamance. The latter counties are in the western half of the state, as divided with respect to the game laws, and their squirrel season opens Sept. 15, while the season in Chatham doesn’t open till October 15. Mrs. Fred Jerome and children have returned to their home in Shreveport, La. They had been here since the death of Mrs. Jerome’s mother, Mrs. Henry A. London. j Mr. D. W. Barclay of Washnigton City has been visiting his brother, Rev. Jonas Barclay. Three children from school trucks, we believe, 'have been run over on highway ninety within a year or little more, and not one of them would have been run over if drivers of the offending cars had stopped as the law directs when a school truck is stopped on the highway. Mrs. Lemuel Johnson of route 2 has been quite sick, but is reported better. A bushel of wheat will pay a year’s subscription for the Chatham Record. We want a few bushels for chicken feed and can allow that price, as feed largely composed of j wheat and some of it screenings, is 1 seeling for a higher price than a ! $1.50 a bushel. The first come, the , first served. Chatham merchants will act wisely to pa,y growers a pre mium for wheat to sell for chicken feed if they cannot get it at world market prices. No use in Chatham, money going out of the county to j pay for wheat at the rate of $1.60 j a bushel, which is about what is paid when |it composes chicken feed. Co-operation helps all con cerned. Mrs. 0. H. Welch sent the Record a heavy sprig -of “garden huckle berries”, one of the new plant creations. It is annual and the score of plants Mrs. Welch has will afford a large supply of grape-like , fruit for making pies and jellies. The fruit on the limb brought us will be tried out as a jelly pro ducer. <S> EPISCOPAL CHURCH NEWS Next Sunday, the 21st,' at St. Bartholomew’s church, the usual service may be expected at 11 o’clock, with an unusual attraction however of very general Jnterest to all Pittsboro people. One of Chat ham County’s distinguished mission aires, one who has given fifteen years of her life to service in far away China, Shanghai, with eminent success and esteem (“the most be loved on her staff”), Miss Pearl Johnson, will address. The con gregation and minister will be glad to have all* the other churches in town unite with us for this service and thereby honor ourselves by honoring this faithful servant of God. Miss Johnson has been very busy giving addresses for several weeks in various cities. Although . she is home on. furlough she keeps ; right on working. She is a sister of i Mr. Victor Johnson, and while , visiting at his home we are for tunate in having her for this : address. •Referring to the -opening of the new Episcopal church in Sanford, ; the clippings below, from the San , ford Express of last week, may • interest Pittsboro people. About ' thirty people went over to Sanford • on this occasion last Sunday. The r new church was crowded to the . doors with an interesting congrega t tion. No doubt this beautiful church . will soon be completed. [ “EPISCOPAL CHURCH MOVE l Although their new church is not yet completed, the Episcopalians are planning to begin using it this month regularly. The first service . will be held in it on the second Sun day, September 14th, at 11 o’clock. The Rector, Rev. R. G. Shannon house, will preach. A choir of young laddies under the direction of Mrs. Shannonhouse, with Mrs. Jim Hol land, organist, will don choir vest ment and will constitute an organiza ed surplice choir. The service will be simply the morning prayer serv ice with sermon, with familiar hymns, and chants. Visitors will be welcome, at all services. The new church is located on Steele street, a little over two blocks north from the traffic signal light. It is not a very large church but it has been pronounced a beau tiful type of architecture, modeled after the English chapel style. Mr. L. M. Thompson, of Sanford, was the architect, and Mr. O. Z. Bar ber, the builder. The faithful little congregation has been making a mighty struggle for the past five years to build a church, with wonderful success, considering their number and re sources. Sanford citizens have as sisted considerable with donations which have been deeply appreciated. Much work remains to be done. Flooring, plastering, finishing work will require time and money. But it is felt that the use of the unfin ished church will afford more in spiration, faith and perseverance and hasten the work of completion. The rector, though having to min ister to two congregations—the other one in Pittsboro —gives half time to Sanford. He gives credit for success so far, chiefly to the energetic officers of the church in Sanford, namely, W. W. Robards, and Mrs. Robards, Jos. D. Smith, Lay-leader, Mrs. Holland, Mrs. Gil liam Anderson, Auxiliary, and in fact all the members of the Mission, ac cording to their ability. J Only one memorial has been er^ct- THE CHATHAM RECORD, PITTSBORO, N. C. ed in the church, to the founder, ; Rev C. T. Bland, and Mrs. Bland, who built the church in Sanford in 1895. This is a beautiful small win dow on the north side of the chancel, with a symbol of “the Good Shepard.” It is earnestly hoped that other memorials will be given, either in windows, or in chancel furniture or fixtures. Or, in a fund for completion ©f the church. With a cordial invitation to all visitors and a welcome. . R. G. SHANNONHOUSE, Rector.” CURRENT COMMENT 1 ij Away in the South Seas, the passengers and mails are taken off a sinking steamer, whoile the crew remain aboard to pump ship. By . the time that this is in print, their fate will be known. Their courage is praiseworthy, their judgment faulty. | $ ! ( That a veteran’s post has hired a lawyer to defend an alleged mur derer in Virginia, should call forth no unfavorable comment. Rather, it ought to impress on the mind, the < sound but often forgotten maxim that a man is innocent until proven ■ guilty. J The Prince of Wales is made an Air Marshall, a Lieutenant General, ! and a Vice-Admiral in ane day. No , doubt his poor old father was re-! lieved to hear that Ed was to have steady work, and probably would 1 get through the winter somehow. Italians find eight million dollars which have lain on the sea bottom off the Spanish coast, since 1922. I-n Lake Huron, someone has raised a piece of ship timbering believed to be a relic of LaSalle’s expedi tion of 1697. Into a Norwegian port there heads a vessel bearing the body and melancholy souvenirs of Andree, who met his death 33 years ago in a balloon flight toward , the pole. In old days such a chorus of voices from the past would have caused apprehension. “When these prodigies | Do so conjointly meet, let not men say: i These are their reasons, they are portentious things, 1 Unto the climate that they point upon.” | A yankee thug, marked for de portation from Germany, will be permitted to tarry a while beside a healing spring in the Father 1 and, if , he can convince the authorities that j his stomach is- actually out of whack, j One touch of colic makes the whole ( world kin. Messers. Coste and Bellonte, nervy lads from the territory of ancient Gaul, reverse Col. Lindbergh’s his toric flight and drivetheirplane from Paris to New York, in spite of Davy Jones’ yawning locker. They have! demonstrated that men of kindly pur. pose can as quickly firom. France to America as from Amer ica to France. The Work of the air [ craft, as a means for uniting the nations of the earth in the bonds of good will, has only begun. —e Circumstances make a, savings bank balance a matter of life and, death now and then in the United j States. It appears to be a matter * of life and death all the time in Russia, if one is to believe the report that the Soviet government has just executed ten for hoarding coin. \ Financiers are advising the Pres ident that farm loans should be granted only on a sound credit ba sis, and say that they have no suggestios to make on behalf as those who cannot give adequate se curity. In other words, farmers who have something valuable to hock will be no worse off hereafter than they have been heretofore. The worker with hand or head who slowly limbered himself to his task on Tuesday, Sept. 2, after a day of parade, picnic, or paper hanging, was ready to agree that “It's harder than the:r regular jobs, So they call it Labor Day.” $ A newspaper states that the body , of a young woman suicide was! found by her “mate.” Considering the unpleasant flavor that is often attached to that word, anu that most readers sometimes, and many read- j ers most of the time do not scru- 1 tinize beyond, the heading, it would have been an act of charity toward | the unfortunate wife to have pointed j out that the “mate” who made the 1 dismal find was her husband. With the coming of early .Sep tember and the approach of open ing day in schools, the juvenile lengthens. Here and there Science has come to the rescue ny decreeing that none but the vaccinated can enter yet generally the state of; the school boy mind is well ex pressed in the words of the hymno grapher: “The awful day will surely came The appointed hour makes haste.” -—«> Out in Kansas, a convict broke jail twice, escaped the execution of; a death sentence, lived almost 40 years unidentifeid, and died a pros- j perous farmer. A life time of useful endeavor ought somehow to cancel] automatically, responsibility for an ancient crime. If a man can live for a quarter century in such manner as to hold his place in the ranks of good citizenry the while, it is safe to assume either that he has under gone a genuine repentance, or that ne was not guilty in the first place. A needie-tnreaamg contest for girls and a lawn-cutting marathon for boys wouldn’t hurt the country right now. OUR TRADING AREA (From The Hamlet News-Messenger) Subject to final revision, the population of the United States has been announced by the census bureau as totalling 122,728,873. That figure is too large to encompass in terms of customers, but it is the staggering sum with which the national advertiser must cope. In the same proportion as the national advertiser must reach these millions of peo ple, the local advertiser must reach his local potential field of patronage. We usually think of patronage in respect to the merchant or the pro fessional man. But are -we not all “in business” in the sense of reaching the entire community? The trading area for one of us is coextensive with the trading area of all of us. Not only the merchant and pro fessional man, but the labor ing man, the farmer, the teacher and all the rest find their work and render their service in the same circle of activity. Then there are the various churches, lodges, associations and clubs who recieve their support from, and render their service to the same locality. All work practically with the same citizenship. All are for progress, whether material, economic, cultural, social or spiritual. The big job—the one big job—on which the happiness and welfare and prosperity of our people depend is the job of increasing this area of serv ice and likewise improve the 1 quality of the services ren dered. We can not reach the one hundred and twenty-two million. But we have no moral right to arbitrarily fix a figure 1 and say that we can not reach ' more. The increase can be hundreds of people with a lit tle effort; thousands with a ! supreme effort. It is a co-ope | rative movement all around, ! for the same man who works to increase the field of en deavor is being reached by some other man in another endeavor. Communities grow when both types and all types are represented in the work of enlarging the area. j 9 THE CONSTITUTION (Constitution Week, Sept. 14-20) —®— (The Hamlet News-Messenger) Much is heard about obey ing the Constitution. Strictly speaking, this is an erroneous admonition. Under a strict in terpretation, the Constitution I is the organic set-up of a form of government by authority of which laws are enacted for the people to obey. The Constitution not a “law” or set of laws as we ordinarily think of laws in relation to en forcement. It is the organic system by which the Govern ment itself devises its power and enforces its mandates. The Constitution is higher than laws and more than laws. When the laws are violated, society is injured; but when’ the Constitution fails, Gov ernment fails. In reality, not one of us either “obeys” or | “violates” the Constitution, ' but we may act contrary to it. What one violates or obeys are the laws enacted under (the Constitution. ! Likewise it is not the Eight | eenth Amendment that is vio j lated. It is the National Pro hibition Act, commonly called the Volstead Act, and the Jones Amendment and other laws, including those of the various states in aid of Pro hibition. The laws themselves “enforce” the Constitution. If there were no enforcement act there would be no penalty prescribed for a violation of the Eighteenth Amendment, for that amendment does not carry a penalty within itself. ! The Constitution was en forced and remains enforced 'by virtue of its ratification on September 17, 1787. It became 'and is now the fundamental document of American gov ernment. The same reasoning applies to the respective state constitutions. The Individual does not directly violate the Constitution; he violates the J laws already enacted and es tablished under constitutional 1 authority and sanction. It is time to appeal to all citizens, not only for a more loyal adherence to the Con stitution, but for a more thor ough understanding of their j rights under it. The whole structure of our government is not crumbling, as one might be led to believe by the av erage conversation on the sub ject of law-enforcement. When we violate a law that is in force we transgress a rule of conduct, and for this we are subject to the penalty set out. But when we violate the Con stitution if under a loose con struction that is possible, we are treading upon dangerous ground for we are acting con trary to the established form of government. The penalty for this is greater than fine or imprisonment. It is a self imposed breaking of the foun dations of liberty and freedom which the Constitution guar antees and for which it so strongly declares. «> 6 6 6 Relieves a Headache or Neuralgia in 30 minutes, checks a Cold the first day, and checks Malaria in three days. 666 also in Tablets. r "—i A/ C.Mcwvn^ will be at Dr. Farrell's office in Pittsboro from 10 A.
