Quite a remarkable fish story was told The Hecoed by Mr. W. O. Farrell. He says that on the 4th a party of neighbors went on a fishing frolic near the mouth -of Roberson creek, and a large eel was caught. When they started to prepare the eel for cooking two snakes were found in it and one of them was alive. We under stand that all the party did not "see snakes" on that occasion Personal Items.

Visit to Graham. This writer enjoyed the pleasure of participating in the Fourth of July celebration last week at Gra ham. Notwithstanding the rain in the forenoon a very large crowd was present and all seemed to ea joy the occasion. After the speak ing the Confederate veterans form ed in double column 200 in num ber) and marched to a grove near by, where a sumptuous dinner had been pi'ovided for them under the auspices of the Daughters of the Confederacy. After the dinner the crowd was much entertained in various ways. There was a race between mules, the riders of which were not al lowed to use whip or spur, but the one who won nearly wore out hi lnf i-i w lus vicnrnns neatine- his mule" with it. Prizes were awarded to the ugliest man, the prettiest girl and to the man with the largest foot. The competitors for these prizes were exhibited on the stand in front of the court house and created much amuse ment, This was our first visit to Gra ham in eleven vears, and we were surprised to see so many and such great improvements in the town: It now has a population of nearly 3,000, has electric lights and a splendid system of water works, many brick buildings and hand some residences. It is the centre of many industrial enterprises. In a radius of five miles from the cour-house are twenty flourish ing cotton mills, and there are be sides several other manufacturing plants. Iu the town is a large can ning factory, whose output is one million cans of fruits and vege tables. . There is an ice . factory with a capacity of thirty tons a day. Among other industries are two knitting mills and an overall factory. On one side of Graham, and only two miles distant, is Burling ton, and on the other side is "Haw River," the same distance. The latter is not an incorporated town, although it is much larger than many towns, but it is the site of four cotton mills and has a pop ulation of 2,000 or more. Gra ham's pride, however, is her splen- did public school building, which is a large brick building that at tracts the attention of every visi tor in riding from the railroad station to the hotel. . We were pleased to meet at Graham many of our former coun ty men, all of whom seem to be pros pering. Our visit was made doub ly pleasant by the courtesies ex tended by a number of the public spirited citizens of the town. Precinct- Primaries. Every Democrat ought to at tend his precinct primary at three o'clock on Saturday, the 11th day of August, and there express his choice for any of the county candi dates. According to the Demo cratic plan of organization "the unit of the county organization shall be the voting precinct," and therefore every precinct must have its meeting when there is more than one precinct in a town ship. The preeinct meetiugs should be held at the usual vot ing places. In order that every precinct meeting shall be proper ly held we copy from the plan of organization the following: "Sec. 6. At everv precinct meet ing there shall (before the dele gates tc the county convention are elected) be a vote taken for the different candidates for office, whose names may be presented, and the delegates shall vote in the county convention of their res pective districts in accordance with this vote; that is to say, each candidate shall receive in the county convention that proportion of the vote to which the precinct may be entitled which he received in the precinct meeting. The chair man and secretary of the precinct meeting shall certify to the conn ty convention the vote received by each candidate at the precinct meeting. Sec. 7. Each precinct shall be entitled to cast in the county con-1 vention one vote for every 25 for fractions of 13 democratic votes cast by the precinct for gov ernor at the last preceding gubsr uatorial election: Provided, that every precinct shall be entitled to cast at least one vote in the county convention, and each precinct may appoint as many delegates to said convention as it may see lit. Sec. 8. The chairman of the precinct executive committee shall preside at all precinct meetings; but in the absence of the chair man of said committee, any other member thereof may preside." Each precinct may elect as many delegates as it wishes, but will be entitled to cast in the county con vention only as many votes as it is entitled to according to the fol lowing: list: Albrights Siler City Mt.

Editob: Permit us to thank you for the success of The Record in draw ing together the select audience, which met at Bynum on July 4th at the Educational Rally. It is estimated that six hundred of Chatham's best citizens were on hand to enjoy the occasion. Conn- ty Supt. Johnson, W. H. Rags- dale and J. L. (irimn made speech- es worthy of July 4th and the cause of education, A table more than 100 feet long was loaded with good things to eat, not more than half of which were consumed. We did not hear an ugly word, see an ungentlemanly act, nor smell "a bad breath" during the day. As a result of the Rally we have good subscriptions amount ing to about $300 to help in erect ing an academy. To the generosity of all who in any way contributed to the suc cess of the day we return our thanks, and especially to The Record, to the speakers, to the donors of the nice dinner and to the contributors of the academy fund.
