H7T LONDON, Editor. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 9, 1916. H VOLUME XXXIX. The Record begins with this issue its thirty-ninth volume and the thirty-ninth year of its existence. It was establish ed thirty-eight years ago by its present editor and proprietor, who has ever since continued as its exclusive editor and proprie tor. This is a longer time than any other paper in this state has ever been edited and published by the same person. This is not mentioned in a boastful spirit, but only to illustrate the preca rious existence eked out by new s papers in this state. Thirty-eight years is not an old age for men, but for news papers in this state it is quite old. for probably not one-half of the newspapers that were pub lished thirty-eight years ago in this state are now in existence. It would seem from this that journalism in North Carolina is not profitable. It may be sately asserted that no men do more work free than do the editors of this state. People generally ex pect an editor to publish free al most any sjrt of notice, and fre quently those very persons are not subscribers to the paper in which they wish to publish some thing concerning themselves or some friend. The cost or expense of publish ing a newspaper is now so very much more than it was when The Record was established thirty-eight years ago, and yet its price of subscription is less. When The Record was estab lished and for several years af terwards the price of its sub scription was $2 a year, but was reduced later to $1.50, whereas the cost of its publication has greatly increased. This fact is called to the attention of those subscribers who are in arrears, the payment of which arrears would aid greatly in paying those increased expenses. The Record gratefully appre ciates the patronage it has re ceived all these years and hopes for its continuance, or rather for its increase, for there are too many of ourcountymen who pre fer to borrow their neighbor's paper instead of subscribing themselves. There are several hundred citizens of this county in this borrowing class, and we hope that they will cease that bad habit. We have no new promises to make for the future, but will only strive to keep this paper up to the high standard that it has always held. The return voyage of the Ger man submarine Deutschland will b watched with much interest by all the civilized world. Of course the Germans will watch its voyage with peculiar interest, and the British warships will do the most real watching, and hope to destroy it. The departure of the submarine from Baltimore was awaited with much interest by everybody in the country, and almost everybody have admired the daring of its captain and crew in successfully escaping the British ships that were watching to destroy it Even those of us who have no sympathy with Ger many in this bloody war have ad mired the wonderful success of this submarine in making a voy age to this country and then eluding all efforts to capture it in departing. The purchase of the Danish West Indies meets with the ap proval of the most prominent leaders of both political parties in this country, although the price to De paid ($25,000,000) is much more than they are worth to Denmark. Their geographi cal position makes them valuable to our country because it would be a source of danger to us if they were owned by Germany (which country has long wanted them) or any other of the great nations of Europe. These islands are three in number, and are small in areas containing only 138 square miles with a population of 27,000, most of whom are ne groes employed in the cultivation of sugar. Although belonging to Denmark most of the inhabitants pi these islands speak English. The execution of Sir Roger Casement will be heard with re gret by most persons in this coun trv, who had hoped that his death sentence might be changed to one for imprisonment for life. In this age and generation it is very rare that any man has been hanged for alleged treason. This victim of the halter had been knighted some years ago for his services to England and now he is hanged as a traitor. He was convicted of conspiring to cause an armed revolt in Ireland and with having sought German aid. He met his death calmly and with the resignation of a martyr, and as such he will be regarded by many thousands and will arouse more sympathy than if he had been sentenced to imprison ment. He will be regarded as another Robert Emmett, and his ignoble death is another stain on England's rule of Ireland, f The School News. F. M. WILLIAMSON, Co. Supt., Editor. Rebuilding Mill. Work has begun on the new factory which is to be erected at Bynum in place of the one de stroyed by lightning over a month ago. The new mill is to be of brick, as heretofore stated, and will be fifty feet wide in the clear and two hundred feet long and two stories high. The rebuilding is giving, and will continue to give for several months, employment at good wages to a large number of per sons. Plenty of work is now of fered to as many laborers as can be had. Of course this rebuild ing will cost a large sum of mon ey, and this money paid to so many persons will greatly bene fit that entire community, and put more money in circulation there than ever before known. Thus the destruction of the old mill has proved, and will prove, a blessing in disguise to that community by the construction of the new mill. Miss Lee Warner, who was principal of the Yates school last year, hs s been elected principal of the Womble school near Sea forth. Mr. W. M. Reed, of Lake Ju naluska, has been elected princi pal of the Goldston school. The other teachers are Miss Mary Clegg and Miss Jewel Womble. j It was announced a few davs ago through the papers that the board of education in Wake coun ty had accepted a challenge from the Junior Order to furnish the paint for every school house in the county provided the Juniors would have it applied- A day is to be set apart for doing this painting and every school house in the county is to change its color the same day. We under- i stand that the board of education 1 is to pay for one half of the paint and the patrons of the school the other half. We do not think the; Board in Chatham would hesitate in accepting a similar challenge. We suggest that the Juniors try them and see what they will do. ! Inspecting Hotels. From the Raleigh Times. Drs. W. S- Rankin, G. M.Coop er and J R. Gordon of the State Board of Health are this week inspecting the hotels of the state. This inspection, since it is op tional with the hotel men, is not to be made a matter of public record, but it is understood that practically every hotel of import ance in North Carolina has re quested it. The Seaboard Railwav. it is said, has asked that dining cars on thir system in this state and their terminal hotels be examin ed by the inspectors. Good Tobacco Prices. From The Durham Herald. Mr. W- P Henry, a prominent tobacconist of this city, has re turned from a trip to several of the tobacco markets in the South Carolina district. Mr. Henry re ports excellent prices obtaining on those markets. The season opened August 1, and both in volume of sales and in high prices paid for tobacco some new records were established. While the exact date of the opening of the Durham tobacco market has not yet been determined the gen eral concensus of opinion is that the season will open September 1. It is expected that splendid prices will prevail here. Bad to Have a Cold Hang On. Don't let your cold hang on, rack your system and become chronic when Dr. N Bell's-Pine-Tar-Honev will help you.

At drug gists, adv The value of the brick and tile products of the United Stares in 1915, according to the United States Geological Survey, was $125,794,844. Confederate Reunion. A meeting of some of the citi zens of this place and surround ing country was held here last j Friday for the purpose of making arrangements for the annual re union of the Confederate veter ans of this county. Mr. John R. Miiliken was elected chairman of the meeting and Mr. James j L. Griffin was elected secretary. On motion of Mr. Arthur H. London, Prof. F, M. Williamson was unanimously elected chair man of the committee of ar rangements and Mr. James L. Griffin was unanimously elected treasurer of the fund to be rais ed for the reunion. Every per son present was enthusiastic about having the reunion and giving the old soldiers a good time. The dav selected for the reunioh is the 24th of this month. Of course there will be. or should be, no trouble about rais ing the necessary funds for mak ing this reunion one of the most successful ever held ki this county- The reunion was held last year at Siler City, where the vet erans were most delightfully en tertained, and of course our town will not be surpassed by that. There will not be many more re unions, for the "long thin line of gray" is yearly growing thinner and in a few more years the Con federate soldier will be only a blessed memory. A Bold Robbery. Detroit, Mich., Aug. 4. Five unmasked automobi le bandits ear ly this morning held up an auto mobile in which $50,000 pay roil money was being taken to the plant of the Burroughs Adding Machine Co., and before aston ished guards could offer resist ance snatched five bags of six in the car, said to have contained $34,000, and escaped.
