According to the report of Mr. N. A Perry, cotton statisti cian for Chatham county, there were 2,218xbales of cotton ginned in this county up to October 18 this year. Same date last year there were 2,6y4 bales ginned. We learn that Moncure is a big planing mill. A Mr. Leon ard, a gentleman from Greens boro, who is interested in the plant, was here last Saturday ani stated that the mill would be built there this winter or early in the spring. - One of the candidates on the county ticket we did not say which on is suffering from a fever-blistered mouth, causing his lips to protrude somewhat. A lady wag says the cause of these blisters was from kissing so many babies during the cam paign. Our farmers have rarely ever had a more favorable fall for gathering their corn and cot ton and for sowing wheat. We are pleased to learn that an unusu ally large crop of wheat is being sowed in this county, and are confidently predict that no far mer will regret sowing all ne can. -The Record can truthfully say that the campaign just closed was one of the most quiet and or derly campaigns that has ever taken nlnpp in Chatham. Both sides were continually jollying one another on their election or defeat. The whole campaign was carried through in a friend ly spirit, ani we are giaa 10 note it.

A ride from here to Siler City last Thursday showed that the overseer, or overseers, of the road from Kimbolton to Siler City ought to work that road without further delay. Although this fall has been dry, yet there are many disgraceful mudholes in that road which need immedi ate attention, and will become almost impassable before Christ mas if not worked at once, it is strange how the people who have to travel on bad roaas ao not insist on their being repaired DEMOCRATS ELECT TICKET They Carry the Coun ty by 400 to 575 Majority Chatham again goes Demo cratic and by majorities larger than those given to any Demo cratic candidates for county offi cers since 1890 when Snence Tav- tor beat John Paschal for sheriff by 553 and Dan Marsh was elect ed register of deeds by 891.

Barn and Stable Burned. Last Monday night, just be fore 12 o'clock, the people of Pittsboro were aroused from their sjumbers by the blowing of the oil mill whistle, the cause be ing the burning of the barn and stable of Sherman Alston, color ed, near the colored Methodist church. All of the fodder and corn in the barn were a total loss, Alston barely saving his horse, which was 'somewhat burned. A hog in a pen near the stable was so badly scorched it had to be killed. Alston, who is a hard-working, industrious negro, seems to be running in bad luck. It has not been but a few days since he lost three of his children by death. The fire is supposed to have been of an incendiary origin as no lamp or matches had been used about the barn. Siler City Fire. On last Sunday night our neighbor town of Siler City was visited with a verv destructive firp. It started in the restaurant of a colored man, named Henry Wright, which was a one-story frame building on the corner rmrthpflst of the railroad deDot. It was not discovered until after midnight and before the names could be checked they had caught and burned several of the ad joining buildings. Bv hard work the unatnam Hotel was saved and thus pre vented the fire from reaching the Grit office on the south. On the street leading east the flames were checked at the brick building used as a meat market. At one time during the pro gress of the fire it was feared that the greater part of the busi ness section would be burned and it was only by hard work that it was saved. Music Recital. A music recital will be given by the fifth grade music pupils at Moncure Wednesday night, Nov. 11, at 8 o'clock, at the school building, to which the public is cordia.ly invited. Other amuse ments will follow the recital.

Washington, Oct, 28. Refer ring to reports that agents of the European governments are buy ing large numbers of horses in the United States for war pur poses, President Harrison, of the Southern Railroad Co., said to day: "This is a matter that direct'y concerns the farmers of the South. On account of the great destruction of horses that is now going on in Europe, we may look forward to an active demand for draft animals during the war and for some time after the res toration of peace. The natural effect of this will be to bring about higher prices, and this em phasizes the importance to the farmers of the South of raising their own draft animals and not buying so many horses and mules from the west as heretofore.''

A written confession that he blew up h.s home with dynamite, killing his sleeping wife and four small - ., , . children, was given to the police here today by Srott Stone, a U. S. army recruit arrested yester day at Jefferson barracks Stone's farm house at Tolono, 111., was burned September 28 lst, Mrs. Stone and four children, the old est, aged five, perishing in the blaze. Stone asserted he committed the crime to be free to run away with a woman whom he knew only as Lucille. Sixteen days after the destruction of his home and fam ily, Stone enlisted in the army under a assumed name. He was arrested yesterday at the re- 3 60IQuest f the state's attorney of 1 10 ! Champaign county. 111. 1 60 ' According to the confession, 1 60 Stone and his family on the night 1 6Qoi Sept. 27 went to bed at eight 1 60? o'clock, all sleeping in the same jroom, the three older children slept at the foot or the bed and the youngest child beside its mother. Stone said : "I slept until 10 o'clock, when 1 felt my wild, roving nature overcoming me. Between and 2 o'clock I got out of bed and went to the barn where I had hidden ten sticks of d; nahiite in the wheat bin. I had bought Jie dynamite in Tolono and. the per cussion caps in Champaign. "I put the dynamite on a table in the kitchen and ranx18 feet of fuse from it to the back door. I then went outdoors, and lit the fuse. After the explosion I be gan calling for help." Stone said that townspeople arrived and helped him carry out his furniture. Stone's object in killing his family, he said, was that he had been spending his time and money on other women and did not think he was treat inp his family right, and he de cided they would be better off dead. Stone's arrest was due to the storv of a woman who told the state's attorney of Champaign county that Stone wanted her to go west with him. According to his story, Stone met the woman the day after the fire. Ninety-one of the 100 North Carolina counties enlist students in the State University.

The war in Europe is proving a big boon to postal savings in this country. From the very day hostilities opened across the seas postal-savings receipts, began to increase by leaps and bounds and withdrawals fell off, a result quite contrary to the predictions of many well-informed persons who, in their imagination, saw lines of feverish depositors at postoffice pay windows anxious to again re turn their savings to the boot-leg and body-belt whence they came before intrusted to Uncle Sam. But the forecasters failed to reck on the absolute confidence of the American citizen, regardless of the nag that first met his eyes, inthe ability and purpose of the government to carry out its obli gations, not only among the na tions of the earth, but with the humblest citizen of our land. Two important results have foLowed: thousands of people. largely of foreign birth, accus tomed to send their savings abroad, are now patrons of our postal-savings system; and enor mous sums of actual cash have been released for commercial uses among our people at a time when the need for every avail able dollar is pressing. The growth of postal savings in the United States has been steady and healthy and the. sys tem has filled an important gap between the tin-can depository and the factory paymaster. On July 1, when affairs were run ning smoothly here and abroad ad the transmission of money across the Atlantic was safe and expeditious, there was approxi mately $43,000,000 of postal sav ings standing to the credit of about 388,000 depositors. Since then over $10,000,000 of deposits have been added and the number of depositors has increased enor mously. This unprecedented gain is the more striking when it 's considered that the net gain in the last three months is larger than the gsin for the entire fiscal year 1914. Score of offices have done more postal-savings busi ness since the war has been go ing on than was done by them during the previous existence of the service. The increases are confined to no special localities, but have been felt in every nook and corner of the country. New York City alone made a gain in September of more than a mill ion, while Brooklyn showed a relatively big increase. Chicago reported a larger gain in the past three months than for the previ ous twelve months. More than 7,600 new accounts were opened during the period, bringing the number of depositors in that city up to over 21,000, The unexpected increase in postal-savings business has not only addecKgreatly to the general ad ministrative duties of t e sys tem, but has brought up many new and interesting problems wThich have called for the care ful personal consideration of Postmaster General Burleson and Governor Dockery, third assist ant postmaster general. But their task has been lightened somewhat by the promptness of depository banks in furnishing additional security to meet the abnormal deposits. A number of the very largest banks in the country, which have heretofore declined to qualify as deposito ries for postal-savings funds, are now among the eager applicants for them. Montana ranks tenth among thestates in the total value of its mineral products, and its ".hief mineral industry is the mining and smelting of copper ores. As a producer of copper Montana ranks second among the states, Arizona being first. " How's This?
