The snow caused the Pittsboro
children and' those of prob
ity half the state to get their
ffistmas holidays two or throe
Javs earlier than scheduled.
The poor rabbits have caught zip
the week. The boys could catch
them without gun or trap. Coming
from Siler City Saturday with the
mail man we saw him buy three or
four dozens at 15 cents each.
Miss Camilla Powell is home for
the holidays from Lexington.
Miss Sadie Johnson came in from
Greensboro for the holidays with
her parents; also Miss Pearl John
son from Appalachian Teachers’
College, Boone.
Misses Annie Bynum from N. C.
q \y., Alma Dailey from Duke Uni
versity, Louise Brooks and Cathe
rine Johnson, teachers at Bell’s,
Sankie Perry, teacher at Maxton,
and Lucile Farrell teacher at St.
Paul’s, Louise Petty, teacher at
Moncure, and other young ladies off
at school as students or teaching in
other towns, are home for the holi
days. i
The college boys are at home, as '
are the girls, and the Record hopes ;
tihev will have a fine Christmas.
* ' l
Misses Mary and Georgia Brewer
spent a few days in Dunham with
relatives.
The Record would appreciate a
list of your Christmas guests for
the next issue.
Mrs. Eliza Jenkins, one of the.
Confederate pensioners, died at her
home near Goldston Sunday and
was buried at Gulf Monday. The
Record has too little information
to go into details. While she had :
not received her pension voucher be
fore her death, the family will get
this half-year’s quota in due time.
A session of county court Mon
day, served to present Julius French,
John A. Rives, and Turner John
son, all colored, with sentences of
six months on the roads for viola
tion of the prohibition laws. The
boys are from Bea rOreek town
ship, or at least from the neigh
borhood of Bonlee, according to Mr.
W. T. Brooks.
Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Faison, Miss
Peggy Lou, and Mr. and Mrs. N. R.
Bass are expected to be at the Pet
erson home for a few days.
Mr. J. J. Ferebee, Jr. ,of Norfolk,
recently visited his sister, Mrs.
Wade Barber.
Mrs. Robert M. Burns has closed
her home here for the winter and
accompanied her son, Mr. A. M.
Burns, Saturday to his home in
Roxboro, where she will remain
several weeks before proceed nig to
the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Winchester, at Monroe. Mrs. Herbert
E. Norris and littlei granddaugh
ters who have been spending some
time with Mrs. Norris’s mother,
Mrs. Burns, have gone to their
tome in Raleigh. It is gratifying
to be able to report Mrs. Burns in
robust health, considering her mark
ed age. We shall be looking for her
return next spring or summer.
That was snow enough for us, and
the thirty inches Reidsville is re
ported to have had would have been
too much of a good thing. Even
Durham is reported as having about
twice as much as Pittsboro had,
which was seven or eight inches, we
judge. A thirty-indh snow at the
beginning of winter is likely to
have remnants left two months from
now, unless big rains take away
the masses heaped in shady dells.
Chatham is quitting cotton. Gin
ning up to Dec. 1 were only 4,060
bales, and Mr. M. H. Woody, cot
ton census man, says that the yield
this year is much better than last,
but that the cut in acerage is
likely to reduce the year’s produc
tion to that of last year, the lowest
in many years.

Governor Gardner former Gover
nor Cameron Morrison, who nosed
him. out of the gubernatorial nomi
nation 10 years ago, to the United
States Senate to succeed Senator
Overman, deceased.
Senator Morrison, as his first
official act, approved the appoint
ment of his neighbor, fellow church
and townsman, Frank R. McNinch,
read of the anti-Smith group in
as a memlber of the Federal
rower Commission, after calling him
a sorry Democrat.”
Senator F. M. Simmons led his
successful opponent, Josiah William
tfailey, down the Senate aisle and
seated him in his seat for a time,
meanwhile chatting pleasantly with
Senator Simmons presented the
credentials and the person of his
ormer friend and recent political
TT nemy > Cameron Morrison, to
the United States Senate.
Senator-elect Bailey’s opposition,
_ a PPpantment of Mr. McNinoh was i
erridden by the approval given'
Senator Morrison, who, although

Ra i lnas sen^or Senator over Mr.

Lean”e’ Mr * Bailey > w ho was Mc
tvP s unsuccessful opponent for
1324 gubernatori al nomination in
I Governor Gardner’s appointment
of Morrison as Senator was un
doubtedly a wise political act. For
! Morrison is popular with a large
j element, worked and spent money in
the couties in the recent campaign
-and has many followers in the next
General Asse’bly who could at least
have annoyed Gardner in his leg
islative program. Now they will cer
tainly look at it with friendly eyes.
Senator Morrison’s stand on the
McNinch appointment will certain
ly bring to him a large part of the
formerly estranged anti-Smith Sim
mons element, more in numbers,
probably, than will be estranged
in the Bailey following. Bailey can
ill afford to break with Morrison,
his senior in the Senate and his
ally in the recent Bailey-Simmons
and Bailey-Pritchard campaigns.
“Quite probably there exists to
day $500(000,000 of untaxed in
tangible value in foreign corpora
tions doing business in North Caro
lina”, Attorney General D. G. Brum
mitt said, in an address on “Re
adjustments in Taxation” before a
group of State University students
last Friday.
Tracing the changes in conditions
in North Carolina from agricul
tural to largely industrial ectivi
ties since 1900, Mr. Brummitt held
that changes in the taxation meth
| ods must follow. While domestic
corporations are paying taxes on
their intangible assets, the State’s
taxing system is not prepared to
reach it in the so-called foreign
corporations and should be modern
ized, he stated.
“Readpustments in taxation which
distribute the burden more evenly
wil aid in any effort toward agri
cultural and industrial rehabiluta
taon,” he said. __
E. B. Jeffress, publisher of the
Greensboro Daily News and now
also of the Greensboro Recor, is
mentioned as a possibble candidate
for Governor in 1936, taking place
with other prospects, including A.
H. Graham, Hillsboro; Thomas C.
Bowtie, Jefferson; Thomas L. John
son, Asheville, and T. L. Kirkpat
rick, Charlotte.
Mr. Jeffress served as mayor of
Greensboro and was elected this fall
to the 1931 General Assembly from
Guilford. Just what attitude his
“brethern of the press’ will take
toward such a candidacy is proble
matical.
Automobiles killed 102 persons
in North Carolina in November,
bringing the death toll for the first
11 months of the year to 690, the
same number killed in the 12
months of last year. Last month’s
deaths were four less than the
high mark of 106 in December, last
year. Thirty-five, or more than
one-third of those killed in Novem
ber were pedestrians, the report of
Director Sprangue Silver shows.
Drunken drivers were responsible
for nine deaths and 24 injured.
The Machinery Act “requires an
actual valuation on all property,
real as well as (personal”, and per
mits no exceptions, Attorney General
Brummitt has held in reply to in
quires. Some counties lhave re
cently made valuations and want
to adopt these as the 1931 quadrien
nial assessments, or want to make
horizontal increases or decreases of
former valuations, he said. He
points out that the General Assem
bly, meeting in January, can change
the method and make a new plan,
however, and suggests that county
officials in such counties take up
the proposal with their county re
presentatives.

TO THE TAX PAYERS OF CHATHAM
j COUNTY
Intake this medium of sending you greetings
and best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year. I also want to thank those of you who have
so graciously cooperated with me, on this my first tax
round. I have found that the tax payers of Chatham
County are a loyal people and are anxious and willing v
to support the County Government. To you who have
paid your 1930 taxes, let me say that you have donev a
noble part, and to those who have not yet paid, let me
say that you have February Ist, 1931 to pay the 1930
tax without penalty. Let's remember that in order to
keep the public schools running and keep the public
roads in thepresent extra ordinary condition, that it will
be necessary for the taxes to be paid promptly. The
school term is now half out and all who have not
yet paid their taxes let me ask that you send your tax
notice direct to the undersigned with check or money
order to Pittsboro for the amount tax due by you.
This will save time and expense to the county. The law
only requires the Tax Collector to make one visit to
each of the several townships. Let a two cent letter do
the work for you.
Again thanking you and wishing you a Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year, I am
