To every census enumerator
was sent a "trial" sheet to test
his efficiency. On this sheet he
had to take the census, of ten
families- In this Congressional
district the census enumerator,
at this place, Rev. R. B. Line
berry, was the only one who
made his report in a perfect
manner, as we are informed by
Superysor Pearson. " v ; ;
-Mr. Henry M: ; Jones has
sent, to The Record the lars-est
Indian "potato" we have ever.:
seen, it was plowed up on his
farm, about six mile3 southeast
of this place, and weighs twenty
pounds. These " roots are called'
Indian potatoes because it is said
that the Indians used to eat thern,
but the old colored people call
them the "Devil's bread."
In another column are Dublish-
ed the cards of Messrs. Hovle
and McDonald of their can
didacy for the Darnoeratic nomi
nation for' the. Senate. When
this Senatorial district was form
ed (in 1901) it was agreed, or
rather understood, that Moore
and Chatham should, have the
two Senators one term and Scot
land and Richmond one term,
alternating, and this has hereto
fore been done. Lee. county was
created by the Legislature of
1907 and now Lee and Moore are
both claiming the Senator, here
tofore allotted to Moore, but this
controversy does not affect
Chatham's right to have her
senator. If Lee and Moore can
not settle this between them
selves, then it will have to be
settled by the other counties in
the senatorial convention. .
-The Record recantly pub
lished an item, copied from an
other paper, about cattle ticks
being found on rabbits. Mr. R.
M. Connell, the cattle tick inspec
tor for this county, .says that
cattle ticks are never' found on
rabbits, and that he will give
w to any person who. will show
nun a rabbit with a cattle tick
on it.

A resolution was adopted set
ting apart the third Sunday in
next November for taking up a
collection in every church in the
Presbytery for , the Southern
Presbyterian College and Conser
vatory of Music at Red Springs.
The sum hoped to be raised then
is $10,000, and it could : not
be raised- for a better purpose,
for that institution is greatly in
need of that amount and it is
doing so grand a work that it
richly deserves all that it can
get
Resolutions were also adopted
condemning the use of Sunday
mails and Sunday newspapers,
and also the employment of labor
on Sundays, and urging the more
strict observance of the Lord's
day. -
. Before adjournment the fol
lowing resolutions were adopt
ed: "Whereas the Presbytery of
Fayetteville has been so cordially
and abundantly entertained by
the Church and the good people
of Pittsboro, therefore be it re
solved, that the X unbounded
thanks of "Presbytery are here
by heartily tendered to our genial
hosts, also to the S. A. L- Rail
way- for courtesies in holding
trains; that these resolutions be
printed in The Chatham Record
and read from the pulpit."
Rev. R. S. Arrowood and Rev.
L. W. Curtis and Messrs. M.
McL:. McKeithan andR H- Hayes
were elected commissioners from
this Presbytery to "the General
Assembly which will meet at
Lewisburg, West' Virginia, the
third week in7 May.
The last time,, before this, that
the Presbytery met here was on
the 12th of April, 1892, just 18
years ago. Only two of the
ministers who were here then
were here last week, they were
Rev. H. G Hill and Rev. J. M.
Rose.' We hope that it will not
be another eighteen years be
fore our old town will again have
the pleasure of entertaining so
fine a body of Christian work

Curious Bird.
As to food, the weka is omnivor
ous, eating everything from a pea
rifle cartridsre to the remains of
one of his own ollspring. I remem
ber an instance of this when our
dog unfortunately killed a young
bird which was too small to-eat.
The parents made a decent show of
grief over their loss.; and then. De
ing quite sure that the little one
was dead, nroceeded to eat up ita
x
still warm remains. In camp wekas
are useful as scavengers, but they
are incorrigible thieve trying to
take . away everything at all white
or glittering, and, as ihey are able
to move a weight of two or three
tounds, it may be well imaginea
that a careful lookout has to be kept,
The glance of mingled triumph and
contempt which a . weka gives over
his shoulder as he ..walks off with
your pipe is inimitable, and his
wholft attitude would make a most
iausrhable picture if well drawn.
