On Friday night Sheriff Lane, Uni ted States Deputy Marshal Sloan and a posse went in search of Hancock, under a warrant for assault upon Smith and also for manufacturing and retailing liq uor. Arriving at the still, they sta tioned themselves and remained in waiting all night.

It has been demonstrated time and again in Davidson county that an iux pensive split log drag- will make the reddest, softest road dry and passable. An example of it may be seen on the Salem road, north of Lexington, through the faira of Grimes brothers, where sys tematic dragging has been car ried on for many months. The road is smooth, compact, well crowned and no water stands on the surface. The average coun try road, with a few hours work, would look as well and with a lit tle systematic dragging wcu'd make as good a road.. . " . Try it. It will not cost you much. The drag cost bnt little and you can do the work when it is too wet to plow. Orgaoize a split-log drag club and drag the road from your home to the church, to the neighborhood store and to the school house. You will be surprised at the change it will make in the life of the neigh borhood. Don't wait until the roads get hard and dry again. The split log drag does not work well in dry weather.

Mr. and Mrs Oran A- Hanner, of Siler City, have announced the annroaching marriage of Harvest Moon. Our esteemed Brother Phillips, of the Greensboro Daily News, has requested .The Record to explain the harvest moon and to tell when it will get full- Ac cordingly, and in accordance with our annual custom, we will say that the harvest moon is that moon that is full near the autum nal equinox) The peculiar phenomenon about the harvest moon is that it rises 1 immediately after sunset for sev eral consecutive days. This phe nomenon is owing to the small angle made by the ecliptic and the moon's orbit with the hori zon at this season of the year. It was first called- the "Harvest Moon" by the farmers of the North of England, whoso har vests were gathered about this season of the year and the bright light of the full moon for several consecutive days enabled them to work longer in gathering their harvests.

About 100 bird shot are said to have been fired into the back and neck of Mr. Dark at a distance of 25 or 30 yards. From what can be learned of this unfortunate affair, it seems that Mr. Dark was passing Headen's house when he was in vited to come in and have a drink. Shortly thereafter Headen ac cused Dark of being the leader in the establishment of a public road .near the former's house to which Headen was . very much opposed and some heated words followed. As Dark was leaving, Headen, it is said, grabbed his Rich Gold Mine. Spencer, Sept 8. A solid gold nugget, 99 per cent pure, was found on the mine of Geo.
