It was cold, it rained, the wind blew hard part of the time, and not being satisfied late Thursday after noon it began to snow and for two hours or more the flakes fell thick and fast, and this on the 11th of ApriL Old in habitants say that snow has fallen here as late as April 27th. At any rate, snow in April is getting too late in the season to be falling around here and causing people to go about drawed up in a knot. At Durham the storm did consider able damage to telephone poles and wires, 200 or more poles being pulled down by the snow and wind. Nearly all over this state and Virginia come reports of severe weather and heavy falls of snow. But the "sun do move" and we are still living and suppose everybody is happy because it was no worse. Chatham at the State Convention. On account of the unusually stormy weather last Wednesday, only a very few of Chatham's delegates attended the State Democratic convention in Raleigh. Since the primary now choose all party candidates for state as well as county officers, however, there was really very little for the state conven tion to do. The following- were chosen members of the various committees: R. H. Hayes, member of the state ex ecutive committee, Spence Taylor on the congressional committee, Junius Wrenn on the judicial committee and J. B. Atwater on the senatorial district committee. Mr. Walter D. Siler represented the fourth congressional district on the platform committee. Further Call to Colors.

There are 125 acres in oats on his farm, and 100 In rye, Only about 15 acres of the rye will be saved, he said, the balance was put in for graz. inr numnsea. He has two farms, both of. which make 2,000 acres.

"iam appalled," writes Dr. L. E. Farthing, quarantine officer of Pitts boro, to the state board of health, "to find so large a number of our young men in poor health and worse still with diseases or conditions that could have been easily remedied. It is indeed pa thetic, ' ' writes the doctor, 4 'to have men say, 'Doctor, you will have to sign my name for me as my eyes would not let me go to school, ' when glasses brought his vision almost to normal, or to find one with faulty, undeveloped features and a mentality below the standard, and upon looking into the nasopharynx to find adenoids possibly now somewhat atrophied but with their evil work al ready done for that young man. When I see this I feel that something must be be done. We are a liberty loving peo ple and like to boast of our liberty, but there is a vast difference between lib erty and neglect, and I feel that the present deplorable physical condition of ur young men is a case where liberty lapsed into neglect. I believe that if our forefathers could speak they would say that this was not the liberty ideal for which they fought, but would say in stead that if the standards and ideals they had in " view had been attained something would have been done to im prove these conditions. ' 'We hope to have medical inspection of school children in our county this year, for I am of the opinion that this is one of the best ways to overcome these conditions." Electric Lights. Editor of The Record: I saw a letter in your paper headed "Lights for Pittsboro," signed Citizen. I will say I will be glad to see the move carried out. ; It spoke of different places where the power could be obtained. I am in terested in the property at Tysor's mill and will state that I would be glad to sell, or if you people at Pittsboro don't wish to lay out too much money in the start I will put it in as stock. If you people mean business, why let us put our neads together ana our shoulders to the wheel and push the ight business to the front and our coun ty seat will have lights. We will all be proud of it and the wasted power will be doing us all good. Very respectfully, ROBERT L. TYSOR. Cumnock, April 8. The School News JULIA .JOHNSON, Class Editor. We were all very glad to have Sergt. Obie Harmon to visit this school Mon day morning. He made a short but in structive talk in the chapel on the cour tesy we should pay to the flag. His description of life in camp was so interesting that at the moment we could think that life outside of camp was not near so real or worth while, and we wished that we could be real soldiers too. The weather last week interfered with the attendance. Now that spring has come the larger children are stop ping to help with work on the farm. Nevertheless we hope that every pupil in the 5th, 6th and 7th grades will be here county commencement day to take part in the parade. Every child is urged to be here for the final examina tion next week, if possible. School work has never been more important than now and it is hoped that the un usual conditions brought on by the war will be an impetus to school work, not drawback. The 3rd and 4th grades have invested $771.50 in war savings stamps and lib erty bonds. Wattg Farthing has the largest indi vidual investment in the school. Those pupils who have made the hon or roll for the past week are: Mary Dell Bynum, Billie Johnson, Willie Morgan, McKinley Abernethy, Wyeth Ray. The pupils of these grades are very much interested in the study of birds. They have written papers on the dif ferent birds. The teacher and pupils have been aided in this study by the use of a large colored map of birds given to the room by Harry Bell. Crowded out from last week: lues- day, April 2, the greater part of the school attended the community fair at Bynum. Wallace Farrell creditably rep resented Pittsboro in the declamation contest and Margaret Lanius in the re citation contest, and Thomas Morgan and Wyeth Ray in the spelling contest. The service flag received the blue rib bon. Watts Farthing received tjje. prize In the s,tory telling , contest, and the primary grades won the dramatized story. The prize that were given were four thrift stamps, The Cotton Market, Cotton was quoted in Raleigh yester day . at 3Qo for good middling and 29 3-4c for strict middling, It was quo. tad at Pittsboro at 29c, Fortyfour head of pure bred Duroc- Jersev hoes were recently sold at Charleston, Miss., for $18,415, an aver age of $419 per head.
