Those Confederate veterans and widows, who are now on the peurfion list, need not come here next Monday, but all new appli cants must come here then or send a doctor's certificate of inability to travel. While the Democrats, before the convention, were divided in their preferences for Glenn, Sted man, Davidson and Turner, yet now they are all united on Glenn and every true Democrat will give him his hearty support. Noft ,iOnly is the wheat crop in Chatham' much , better than was expected some weeks ago, but the growing crops of. corn and cotton are unusually promising... They are cleaner aud seem to be culti vated better than usual. WVhear that the Siler City Enterprise has been sold to Mr. J. E.

A very interesting game of base ball was played at Bynum last Saturday between the Bynum and Chapel Hill teams, resulting in a victory for the latter by a score of 6 to 2. The score stood 2 to 2 until Chapel Hill's last in ning. As the season advances W. L. London & Son are offering their entire stock of colored lawns at greatly reduced prices. They have made a big cut in their white goods department also. They are always ready to show you bar gains. The roller mill and the other real estate of the Bynum Milling and Mercantile Company was sold at public auction, on last Tuesday, by the receiver under order of court, and was bid off by Mrs Ma ry Barringer and Arthur H. Lon don at the price of $8,G50. v; The "tenuis tournament" and lawn party given last Thursday by the Daughteis of the Confed eracy was much enjoyed by all present, besides raising $12.40 for Chatham's Confederate monument. This makes the total amount con tributed $589.75. Keep the ball rolling! Amonsr the Chatham dele gates at the Greensboro conven tion there was an earnest desire exbressed that Col. John R. Lane would consent to represent this county in the next legislature. If he should, he would be the most rfisfcinoTiished ex-Confederate in that body.

Henszey canie in "at the same time, going away on Tuesday. The prospect for work here is much better, and we expect soon to be able to announce the re sumption of the same. A force of hands are now busily engaged in repair work preparatory to such. It is said that Mr. J. R. Burns has made and will make large ad ditions .to the output of his mill and has completed arrangements whereby he will be able to about double the capacity of his plant in each department. i.v Mr. Daniel Mclver was in our village Tuesday with the first peaches we have seen this season and nice, ones thev were.: Wei thought that all early peaches were killed in the cold weather. We regret . to chronicle the death of Mrs. Stephen Moore, of the Gulf neighborhood, which oc curred last Sunday or Monday. She was spoken of as a noble and good woman. Why is it some one does not say who shall be our next candi dates in the county? Is it gener ally conceded that we cannot im prove on the present incumbents? I, for one, wish to add my weak endorsement to each. The working of the county roads in this immediate sectiou is being complained at, and while I do not condemn, I must think from all reports that some of the road ov erseers are a littlederelict in their duty. If reports are to be believ ed some of our roads almost im passible. The roads should be worked in the summer when it is dry. Times in Cumnock are pretty flush now, as several hundred dol lars have been turned loose here the past week, and I do not hear mnch about "old hard times." All of the mine men have been paid in full or nearly so. There is a general howl when The Recokd does not reach here Thursday, which was the case the past week. It seems that all subscribers wish to get it on that date. Mr. W. H. W'icker, will move his family to Sanford next Mon day, where he will go into the grocery and general merchandise business in connection with his son-in-law, T. B. Ausley. We hope they maybe successful in their en terprise. We are looking around for a successor for J, P. and hope the clerk will appoint a good man to this place. Anonymous. 33 Killed In Jamaica. Kingston, Jamaica, June 27. Thirty-three persons were killed by an accident which took place near Spanish Town,ten miles west of Kingston, this morning, in the main conduit of the West India Electric Company, which oper ates the street cars from Kings ton, and the shareholders of which are principally Canadians. Nearly one hundred laborers had been detailed to remove sand from the enormous pipe, which is a mile long, and which conveys water from the in-take on the Rio Cobre to the turbines of the power house. The work had been prac tically completed, when orders were give a to allow a quaniny oi water to enter the conduit. Through misapprehension, acci dent' or carelessness, the full force of the water was turned on and a mad struggle to escape by means of the man-holes ensued, with the result that 33 persons were killed. The tragedy has cast a srloom over the colony and a rigid investigation as to the cause is now in progress. . Mormon Colonies In Mexico. Mexico City, June 2G.

Winston-Salem, June 27. Dr. H. F. Chreitzbersr, pastor of the Centenary M. E. church, has been granted a patent on a portable railway window screen, something which has been sorely -. needed for years and in its present shape promises to come into almost uni versal use by the traveling public. Excepting those who travel in Pullman cars all who ride on trains to any extent suffer great discomfort from the engine cin ders and other grit and dust inci dent to the fast passage of the moving train. The invention nam ed will practically do "away with all this trouble. It consists of a screen composed of first-class hand linen with a frame of light wooden material and ' is held in place by rods. It is, collapsable, will take up very little room in a small valise or traveling bag, weighs but a few ounces, and can be carried along with .'ah umbrella without any inconveuieuce. The retail price will probably be about 25 cents. ' ' j Several parties are now, enter ing into negotiations'-"with the' doctor for- the patent, but he not decided vet what he- will with it. Probably a company i may be formed to manufacture them in this State. He has al ready been offered a royalty on it and it is probable that the screen may become a novelty for sale by the American News Company, so that passengers can purchase them on the train. Ran Into a Section Car. Special to Morning Poet. Fayetteville, N..C.,! June 27. The Atlantic Coast Line passen ger train, southbound from San ford. ran into a section car this afternoon twenty miles from Fay- i etleville. The accident occurred 1 at a sharp curve, and the train was almost upon the car before Engineer Monaghan could see it. The section boss, a Mr. Stone, and his men jumped ; from the moving car just as the engine hit it, sending the tools flying in all directions. Fortunately the pilot of the engine took up the car and carried it along till the train stop ped, hence no damage to the train. The section hands say they had a .close call, butiv they soon cleared off the wreck from the track and the train moved on as if nothing had happened: Largest Ship Afloat.
