The result of the election for
President ought to impress some
folks with the truth of the old
saying, "Do not holler until you
get out of the woods."
Don't you reckon that those
former Democrats who voted
with the Republicans last week
feel like going to some private
place and kicking themselves?

It is all right for all Demo
crats to rejoice at their victory,
but do not "rub it in" too hard on
our Republican friends. Remem
ber that there is a law in this
state against "cruelty to ani
mals." So certain were the Republi
cans that Hughes was elected
that four of them at this place
were carrying around, early Wed

to be appointed postmaster at
this office.

We regret to hear of the
death of Rev. C. A. Boon, who
died last Thursday at Durham at
the home of his daughter, aged
77 years. He was bornnd re
sided in this county, about four
miles east of this place, until a
few years ago when he moved to
Elon College. He had been a
preacher in the Christian denom
ination nearly fifty years, and
was popular with all-who knew
him.
The Democrats of Goldston
and vicinity had a jollification
last Friday night over the elec
tion of Wilson. They had the
Siler Citv brass band to enliven
the occasion, and stirring speech
es were made by Messrs. W. D.
Silei- and Isaac S. London. So
enthused were they that after
celebrating at Goldston a crowd
with the band went in automo
mobiles to Gulf and Carbonton
and celebrated at those places
also.
- His old friends in Chatham
will recrret to hear of the death
of Mr. Edmund W. Atwater.who
died last week at tne nome oi
his d ughter at Burlington, w here
he had been residing for several
years. His residence until his
removal 'to Burlington was in
Williams township, and he was
one of the most prominent citi
zens of this county and highly
esteemed bv all who knew him.
He died very suddenly at night
of heart disease.
There was much rejoicing
among the Republicans here on
the night of the election when it
seemed certain that Hughes was
elected, and this made their dis
appointment the more bitter when
it became certain that Wilson was
elected. The Democrats went
home that night very sad over
what they feared was the defeat
of Wilson, but "joy cometh in
the morning" and next day they
were as happy as the Republi
cans had been the night before.

In the Congressional fight,
E. W. Pou, of Smithfield, de
feated J. J. Jenkins, of Siler

. Mr. S.P.Teague, of Albright
township, says he raised on one
acre this year 117 bushels of
corn and 800 bundles of fod
der. At the Lee county fair,
week before last, he won the
premium of $12.50 in money on
this yield.
Our Republican neighbors at i
Siler City were so sure of thej
election of Hughes that they j
rented the town hall for the pur-1
pose of having a jollification there
Wednesday night, but they chang
ed their minds, for their joy was
soon turned to grief when they
learned that Wilson was elected.
On Monday of court week
Deputy-Sheriff Ernest White cap
tured a whiskey still and two
men, as has heretofore been pub
lished in The Record, and on
Friday night of the same week
captured another still exactly at
the same place, near Carbonton,
but nobody "was easing his din
ner" there this time.

Fayetteville, where they were
married.
Bond Election.
At a special nfeeting of the
county commissioners, held last
Saturday, they ordered an elec
tion to be held in Baldwin town
ship on Saturday, the 6th of
January, on the question of
that township issuing $30,000
worth-of bonds for the improve
ment of the roads of that
township. Mr. J. Vance Har
ris was appointed registrar
and a new registration was or
dered. The bonds, if issued, are to be
payable in thirty years and to
bear five per cent interest. The
petition for this election stated
that the first road to be worked
must be the road leading from
Bynum towards Chapel Hill, the
road branching off from that
road near the residence of Mr.
Rufus Johnson and going to
Lambsville and also that the road
from Pace's bridge-northward to
Mann's chapel. The advocates
of the bond issue say that they
will be certain to carry the elec
tion. At the same meeting of the
commissioners they declined to
grant the prayer of the petition
for a new township to be com
posed of parts of Baldwin and
Williams,

Vote of Chatham.
In the above table is omitted
the vote for president, county
commissioners, coroner and sur
veyor. The total vote for presi
dent was 1839 for Wilson and 1501
for Hughes, from which it will be
seen that Wilson ran ahead of
any other candidate in this coun
ty. The total vote was much
larger than two years ago, near
ly 550 more votes having been
cast last week than then, ihe
Republicans had made a verv ac
tive canvass and brought to the
polls every man it was possible
to get there. They voted many
men who had not voted in sever
al years, and the Democrats did
their best.
The total vote for county com
missioners was as follows: Moore,
1770. Fitts, 1776, Ferguson, 1750
(the Democratic candidates), and
Norwood, 1580. Council, 1530,
Fuquay, 1550 Republican candi
dates). It will be seen that Mr.
J. H. Norwood, one of the Re
publican candidates tor commis
sioner, received more votes than
any other Republican candidate
for any office in this county.
This was a deserved compliment
to one of our county's best citi
zens, for whom many Democrats
voted.
It was quite a coincidence that
the vote on the amendments was
exactly the same, a tie, and was
much smaller than for the candi
dates. At this precinctand some
others the ballots for the amend
ments were not enough, and this
accounts for the small vote on
them at some of the precincts.
The Republicans generally voted
against the amendments, but
only one vote against them in the
Republican township of Williams,
though no Republican voted for
them there.
Cut out the above table of elec
tion returns and keep it for fu
ture reference.
Birthday Party.
On last Friday night the Win
nie Davis Chapter of the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy celebrat
ed the eighteenth anniversary of
their organization with a birth
day party, t'at was greatly en
joyed bv them and their invited
guests. They were much favor
ed with the weather, bright
moonlight and warm enough to
do without fires.
The cnief feature of the occa
sion was the contest in answer
ing questions about the battles
of the War between the btates.
This contest afforded much en
joyment as well as information,
and the prize (a silk Confeder
ate fla?) was awarded to Miss
Lida Alston by the president of
the chapter, Mrs. H. A. London, j
in a very appropriate speech, j
Much amusement was afforded j
in cutting the birthday cake.
on which were eighteen lighted
small candles.
All present declared that it
was one of the most delightful
entertainments that they had
ever attended, and the appetiz
ing refreshments added no little
to their pleasure.
A Grand Celebration.
One of the grandest celebra
tions ever held in this county was
that held here last night by the
Democrats of Chatham in hon
or of their victory last week in
the county, state and nation.
Notwithstanding he rain, which
began in the afternoon and con
tinued all night, there was a
large crowd from every part of
the county, many coming twen
ty miles and farther. The aut( -mobiles
almost blocked the main
street and courthouse square. A
free oyster supper was served in
the corridors of the courthouse,
which was greatly enjoyed. This
was a feature of the celebration
that was not had anywhere else
in the state.
After eatrng this . treat the
torchlight procession was formed
in rear pf the courthouse, just
after dark, and paraded the prin
cipal streets, headed by the Siler
City brass band. There were
many transparencies that attrac -ed
much attention and createa
much merriment, and the torch
es lighted up the procession in
quite a picturesque manner,
bhort speeches were made by
R. P. Johnson, J. L. Griffin, H.
A. London, A. C. Ray, W. P.

GAINED 20 POUNDS .
BY TAKING TANLAC
WELL KNOWN NORTH CAROLINIAN
WHO SUFFERED 20 YEARS,
NOW WALKS UP TOWN
To gain twenty pounds in
weight at the ripe old age of 79
years is just what Mrs. L. B.
Homey, of 722 North Main street,
High Point, has enjoyed through
5 bottles of Tanlac. This vener
able lady is loved by the hundreds
of her townspeopie who marvel
at her remarkable change in
health, for Mrs. Homey had suf
fered for the past 20 years.
"Why, I feel so good all over
that I can walk up town now a
distance of 7 squares and my
friends tell me I look 10 years
younger," Mrs. iiorney said-
Only a short time back I was
barely able to walk about the
house. I would suffer from heart
fluttering and, after everything
seemed to turn black before me.
I would fall, helpless. I lost in
weight and strength until I was
nearly completely run down.
During those 20 years o more of
mv ills I was treated by five dif
ferent physicians and took every
kind of medicine I heard of with
out getting any lasting relief. I
was low when I heard of Tanlac
through a relative.
"From the start Tanlac did the
work. My appetite returned and
with it came strength and an in
crease of 20 pounds in weight.
Heart trouble has Mt me. If 5
bottles of Tanlac can work such
a change in a woman of my age,
I feel it a duty to tell about it. It
is now 4 months since I finished
the last bottle and I keep on
gaining right along."
Tanlac is sold in Pittsboro by
George Pilkington exclusively;
