On the night of the first of last November there was a marriage at this place that was kept a se cret until last week, when it was made public by the parties there to. The couple were Mr, Hen derson JSole, Jr., and Miss Ma mie Bounds, both of Wilming ton, and the announcement of their marriage was nade last week in the Wilmington papers. On the night of November 1st they arrived here on the train from Moncure and applied to Mr. John W. Johnson, our regis ter of . deeds, for a marriage li cense. He was at first doubtful about issuing the license, fearing that the lady was not eighteen years old, but she and the ex pectant groom insisted so earn estly that she was nineteen years old that he decided to take the risk and issue the license. They went to the residence of Squire Robert M. Burns, who with im pressive manner soon married them, the witnesses being Sher iff Lane, Mrs. R. M. Burns and Miss Myrtle Siler. The happy couple requested that their marriage be kept a se cret until they were ready to an nounce it, and so well kept was their 'secret that nobody here knew anything about it. The groom was a student at Elon Col lege and the bride a stenogra pher in the office of the Southern Express Company at Wilming ton, and they did not wish their marriage made known until he graduated and she was afraid of losing her position if her mar riage was known. They met by appointment here because, as they said, this place was so re tired and quiet they thought that their marriage could better be kept a secret here than else where, Good Roads Election. We hear that a petition is be ing circulated in Cape Fear town ship for an election to be held in that township on the question of issuing township bonds for per manent road improvement. We are pleased to learn that the pe tition is being signed by almost everybody to whom it is present ed, and that there is no doubt of securing the number of signa tures necessary to order the elec tion. The incentive to have this is sue of township bonds is the prospect of getting the proposed highway from Canada to Florida to run through that township. It is said that this proposed high way will run through Cape Fear township by wav of Bonsai and Merry Oaks and cross Deep river at Lockville. The construction of the proposed highway through that section of this county would be of much benefit to all the cit izens living near it. It is pro posed to construct a first-class road from Quebec, Canada, to Miami, Florida, and it is said that the worst part of the pro posed road is in this county. We hear that in Virginia one county has voted $400,000 towards its construction. Pet Chicken Dead. We regret to announce the death of the pet chicken of Capt J. J. Crump, of this place, men tion of which was recently made in these columns. It is not known whether too large a consumption of flies was the cause of death. To console him for the loss of his pet the captain has adopted an other pet chicken which he is also feeding on flies, and it is hoped that this diet will not have the same fatal results as on the for mer chicken. Farmers' Institutes. Farmers' Institutes will be held in this county next month at the following times and places: Friday July 18, at Bynum. Saturday, 19th, at Fearrington. Monday, 21st, at Goldston. Tuesday, 22d, at Siler City. These institutes, as our read ers are aware, are conducted by experts sent out by the State Department of Agriculture and are of much benefit to all who attend them, Bynum Ties Chapel Hill. The game.of baseball between Bynum and Chapel Hill, played at Bynum on last Saturday af ternoon, resulted . in a tie, the score standing 5 to 5 at the end of the 13th inning when the game was called on account of darkness. From the start, and in fact throughout the game, the two teams appeared very evenly matched and during the last five innings neither team was able to put a runner across the plate. The infield work of. the Chapel Hill nine was very good, especi ally that of Gaston at short and Temple at first. For Bynum the batting of Riggsbee and the bat tery work of . Abernethy and Moore featured.' Carney Aber nethy, who pitched the last 7 innings, is credited with 16 strike outs, allowing only four clean hits. His young brother, John Abernethy, who pitched the first 6 innings, struck out 4 men and allowed but 4 hits. Lipscomb, the second Chapel Hill pitcher, was also very effective, especi ally in pinches, and was splen didly supported ' at all times. The closeness of the game is es pecially creditable to the Bynum boys when it is stated that three or more of the Chapel Hill nine were summer law school students of the University. The score ' R Bynum, 200 120 000 000 0-5 Chapel Hill,003 000 110 000 05 Batteries: John and Carney Abernethy and Moore; Axley, Lipscomb and Phillips. Hits- By Bynum 10; by Chapel Hill 8. Errors: Bynum 5; Chapel Hill 3. Our New Solicitor. On last Thursday Gov. Craig announced that he had appointed Mr. Walter D. Siler. of this coun ty, the solicitor of this, the new fourth, judicial district created by the last Legislature. This district is composed of the coun ties of Chatham, Lee. Harnett, Johnston and Wayne, and the first court to be held in it will be in Lee county on the 14th of July. This appointment is quite a Compliment to our countyman, for there were several candidates for the office,- all of whom were highly endorsed by their respect ive friends. This is the last of the appointments of the four judges and four solicitors created by the last Legislature, and their terms will expire on the first of January, 1915, their successors (who may be themselves) being elected at the general election in November of next year. Mr. Siier has the honor of be ing the first citizen of this coun ty who has ever been the solici tor of our judicial district, as Chatham has never before had the solicitor. Card of Thanks. Editor of The Record: I wish to. thank the good peo ple of Chatham and elsewhere that have been so kind to my son, Clyde T. Farrell, who has been confined to his bed since last No vember. Clyde returned from Rex hospital last Wednesday very much improved and I think will soon be up again. I would not fail to thank Mrs. Jas. H. Kidder for her kindness shown my family and especially Clyde, making it possible for him to spend three months in the hos pital at Raleigh, which has meant so much to him. ' - . Respectfully, PAUL FARRELL. A Sensible Court Ruling. Montgomery, Ala., June 23. The Alabama Supreme Court to day, by a vote of 4 to 3, ruled that on and after September 1 next no case may be reversed bv the Supreme Court nor any other court on a mere technicality, un less it is shown by the whole cause that the case of the appel lant is or has been prejudiced thereby. . It is not often that the span of three lives stretches into four centuries, but Mrs. Martha Law rence, who recently died in War ren county, Ky.t was the grand daughter of a man who was born in 1694. In a battle at Neuva-Cases Grandes, in Mexico, last Satur day Villas' forces captured that place, killing 47 federals and cap turing 50 more. The prisoners were promptly executed by Vil las' orders. An electric storm at Fayette ville last Monday night frighten ed a girl to death and destroyed the factory of the Wooden Ware Company, causing the loss of $26,000. v . On last Sunday night the post office at Weaverville, in Bun combe county, was robbed of stamps and money to the value of over $400. ' Gov. Glenn says he will make a formal announcement next Sep tember of his candidacy for the United States Senate to succeed Senator Overman. " The fifteenth annual meeting of the North Carolina Bar Asso ciation will be held at Asheville July 2, 3 and 4. Sugar at a Glance. From the New York World. "Sugar at a Glance'" is the at tractive title the professional.lob byist in the beet-sugar interests gave to the pamphlet of which he distributed 820,000 copies un der Senator Lodge's frank at the cost of the government. 1 In "Sugar at a Glance" the en terprising Mr. Truman G- Palmer makes no mention of this frank ing scandal. A further. glance at the history of sugar reveals other familiar incidents to which all reference is omitted. There are the sugar trust cam paign contributions in former days to both parties and Mr. Havemeyer's- statement that the sugar trust had no politics ex cept "the politics of business." There are the Williamsburer lock frauds and false weighing and rebating m which the sugar trust was caught. There is the violation of the anti-trust act by the sugar trust, which cost it millions of dollars to settle in private after long im munity from prosecution under the Roosevelt administration. There is the confession of Hen ry T. Oxnard, self-styled "fath er" of the beet-sugar industry, that had spent $500,000 in the last twenty-three years in Wash ington and that the Cuban reci procity fight cost various sugar interests $910,000. These are only a few -of the facts revealed by a casual glance at the history of sugar. It is a dirty, foul mess. How much of the same kind would a thorough inquiry by Congress into sugar and all its bearings bring to light? . Bryan's Peace Plan. Washington. June 22. With the acceptance in principle of the president's peace plan by 18 na tions, 'Secretary Bryan has felt encouraged to develop some of the details of the plan which so far have been only generally out lined. Today he made a state ment touching the composition of the proposed commissions to investigate controversies, design ed to meet suggested objections that it would be impossible to provide unbiased bodies of inves tigators whose findings would command respect of the princi pals. The statement says: "The plan contemplates a per manent international commission and the president suggests that the commission be composed of five nations as follows: One member from each of the con tracting countries ' to be chosen by the government; one member to be chosen by each of the con tracting countries from some other country and the fifth mem ber of the commission to be agreed upon by the two govern ments, the commission to be ap pointed as soon as convenient af ter the making of the treaty; va cancies to be filled according to the original appointment. This is merely a suggestion. This government is ready to con sider any proposal that the con tracting parties may desire to make." Fifty Injured in Railroad Wreck. : Rochester, N. Y., June 22. Fifty persons were injured, some of them seriously, when a Penn sylvania Railroad excursion train was derailed near here at Ster ling Station at 9:30 o'clock this morning, rne train was niiea with excursionists bound for Olean, Rock City and Bradford, Pa. While the train was running at about 40 miles an hour, three of the five coaches left the track, rolling down an embankment. As it rounded a curve the smok ing car left the track, followed by all but two rear coaches. The locomotive also remained on the track, breaking away from the train after dragging the coaches about 200 feet. ...... Physicians and nurses were rushed to the scene from Ro chester and other nearby towns and the most seriously injured were hurried to hospitals at Son yea and in this city. It is not believed any of . them are fatally hurt.
