The editor of The Record acknowledges with thanks the present of a box of very choice oranges from our former county man, Mr. J. Frank Ezzell, which he plucked from his orange grove at Ocklocknee, Florida. Everv magistrate in the county ought to subscribe for The Record when he come3 here to "qualify," and by so do ing he will become more quali fied to discharge properly the duties of his office.

What a pitv we cannot have in as good condition all the winter as they have been for vral weeks past. inere certainly a great difference and ntrast in their condition uur- fall and in the winter. All the past fall they have been hard and firm, but after Christ mas they will be muddy, miry and almost impassible. We doubt if our farmers have ever had a more favorable fall for sowing wheat. Dry weather and dusty soil are most favorable tor like it was and literally is community. On next Monday night there will be a Democratic jubilee over the induction into office on Mon day of the newly elected county omcers. lhe exercises will be gin at 7:30 o clock at the court house with short speeches and then at 8:30 there will be a grand display of fireworks, which will well be worth coming several miles to see. A large crowd from the surrounding country is expected. The following is the vote (up to yesterday) for the handpamt- ed picture offered for the pret tiest young lady, the contest to close Dec. 9th: Misses Carrie Hill 9, Evelyn Alston 1, Madge Royall 1, Elsie Williams 1, Mary Moore 1, Irene Burns 1. The vote for the prettiest child, the prize for which is a dressed doll, now stands as follows: Camilla Powell 12. Roland Glenn 1, Mary Perry 1, Louise Brooks 1, Mary Wrenn 1. Each vote costs five cents Sixteen delegates represent ing 9 Sunday schools outside of Pittsboro were here yesterday to attend the county Sunday schoo convention. Addresses on dif ferent features of Sunday schoo work were made at the morning and afternoon session by Mr. J Van Carter, State Sunday schoo secretary. Mr. J. B. Atwater, of Bynum, was unanimously elected president of the county association to succeed Rev. R. B Lineberry, resigned. A two davs' county convention will be held next May. Personal Items. Mrs. G. P. Alston has return ed from a visit to relatives in Bla den county. Mi3S Lessie WomJ)le, of Glen- don, is visiting her sister, Mrs. W. T. Johnson. Mr. Will Bynum, of Rock Hill, j S. C; is here on a short visit to his grandmother, Mrs- A. G. I Headen. Mrs. Mary A. Barber leaves tomorrow for Raleigh to attend a three days' meeting of the State primary teachers. Mr. Frank M. London, of East Orange, N. J.t has been here on a short visit to his parents, Capt and Mrs. W. L. London. Mr. Lee Everett and family, of Rockingham, returned to their home Sunday after a short visit to Mrs- J. H. Ihrie, near here. Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Yarbrough and children, of Duke, are ex pected Saturday on a visit to Mrs. Yarbrough's sister, Mrs H. M- London. Rev. V. A. Royall, Rev. L. M. Chaffin and Mr. and Mrs. James B. Atwater left here yesterday to attend the Methodist Confer ence at Elizabeth City. Mr. and Mrs J. Elmer Long, after a short visit to the latter's Mrs. T. L f county commissioners have been in session every year many more days than any other county in the State. This was true of the Fusion boards and Democratic boards, so no noiiti- cal capital can be made out of this fact, but all the same it should not occur any more- The aw on this subject has not been observed in this countv hereto fore, but we hope our new board will institute a reform in this re spect. The law about the meetings of co.inty commissioners is section 1317 of the Rvisal of 1905 and i3 in these words: The board of commissioners in each county shall hold a regu- ar meeting at the court-house, on the hrst Mondays in De cember and June. Special meet ings may be held on the first Monday in every month, but shall not continue longer in ses sion than two days. Meetings nay be held at other times for the more convenient dis patch of business at sthe call oc the cr airman, on the written request of one member of the board. The board shall receive no compensation for at tending such called meetings." Section 2785 of the Revisal also prescribes the compensation of the county commissioners as follows: Except where otherwise pro vided by law, each county com missioner shalt receive tor his services and expenses in attend ing the meetings of the board not exceeding two dollars a day, as a majority of the boardjnay fix upon, and they mav be allow ed mileage to and from their re spective places of meeting, not to exceed five cents per mile. In this county it has been the custom for many years for the county commissioners to pay themselves much more than for attending the meetings of the board by receiving pay for other services, such as inspecting bridges, &c. seemed to have so much happi ness in store for her. Of her it may indeed be said. "Death lies ou her, like an untimely - frost. Upon the sweetest flower of all the field." She was buried last Monday at Hanks' chapel, three miles east of this place, whsre many of her. husband s family are buried. Among those who came here to attend the tunera) were her sis ter, Mbs Fannie Martin, and her brothers, Grayson an 1 Dbbin Martin, of Rutherford county, and Mr. H. D. Hatch and wife, of Hamlet. For The Record. Thanksgiving Day at Bynum. It was a beautiful day of Thanksgiving, We went to the Bynum High Sehool building ;i . To hear the children reeite and sing. Their voices made the echoes ring. First came the larger girls ami boys, Marehing in with very little noise. Then came in the smaller sixe, With stK-H happy faces andsw.h bright eyes.

The little wee tote stood in a row. Their bright, 'shiny faces all aglow; Each came out in perfect time With their little verses made up to rhyme. The little ones sang their A, B, C, A beautiful song, it seemed to me, Then each one went and took their seat Feeling that they had given us a treat. rhe program was carried out without a jar, Net one thing occurred our pleasure to mar.

All persons in the fourth Con gressional district who wish government seeds may obtain the same by dropping a post?.! card to Congressman Edward V. Pou, Washington, D. C. Per sons who made requests for seeds !a3t year need not take the trouble to write again as Mr Pou already has their names and will see that they reeeive an al m t mr -w-v lotment ot seeds. Mr. rou is endeavoring to get the names of those persons only who can use the seeds furnished by the gov ernment. He i3 not sending them indiscriminately. By this means h is able to send ailarger quantity to each person intend ing to plant a garden, and there by prevent waste. A single pack age of seed is such a trifling quantity that the average per son hardly cares to receive it, and if is a useless compliment to send seeds to a . person who has no garden. Mr. Pou's plan is a good one- If you want the seed drop him a postal, unless you wrote to him last year, it ou did that you need not write again Cock Fighting. Before the war cock fighting was quite common m this coun tv. and, indeed, it was the favor ite sport with many of our coun tymen, at which betting was freely indulged in. Some of our older citizens can now recall some of those "cock mains" (as the fights were called) and the great interest taken in them. Now, however, such sports are forbidden by law. Yesterday's News and Obser ver nublished the following, cop ied from the Raleigh Register of Julv 14. 1806. which recalls those old sporting days: "To b f ought in Pittsborough, at Joseph Harman's Tavern, for Ten Dollars each Fight, and Three Hundred Dollars the Main, to bearin the 23d of July, and continue three days. The Main is made by Archibald Careless and Joseph John Alston." Officers Qualifying. Next Monday ali the newly elected officers will qualify and enter upon the discharge of their duties.
