He belonged to the 365th divis- ! ion and was killed September 12, 1918. Mr. J. C. Lanius has purchased the old wooden garage building adjoining his store on Hillsbcro street. This property is very valuable, being in the center of the business district of the town. "Heap big frost and much ice," is what an Indian would have said if he had been living here last Saturday morning. The frost played havoc with gardens. The thermometer dropped from 56 Friday evening at 7 o'clock down to below freezing Saturday morn ing. Up to Tuesday Chatham had sub scribed 115,350 of her Victory loan quota of $187,500. But there are sev eral counties away below Chatham, Johnston, for instance, a much larger county than Chatham, had only sub scribed $6,200. Chatham will do her part. PERSONAL MENTION People Who Come and Go Some You Know and Some You Do Not. Miss Jennie Harmon has returned to Siler City after visiting her sister, Mrs. Emma Goodwin. After spending a few days with her mother Miss Metabell Goodwin has re turned to Carrboro. Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Merritt, of Mt. Airy, spent the week end here with Mr. George H. Brooks. Mrs. H. C. Farrell and son, Bynum, of Fayetteville, have been here on a short visit to Mr. and Mrs. T.W. Hack ney. Mrs. J. H. Fell and children left Monday for Trenton, N.

Mr. Hayes has been taking treatment in a hospital there for some time and he re turned home much improved in health. Shop Talk Attention is called to the bond elec tion advertisements on the outside of this week's Record. On account of the crowded condition of the advertising columns of the paper the reading mat ter had to be cut short. It it were not for the advertisements a newspaper re ceives there would not be a single pa- J Per published in Chatham county, and j not many in other counties, as for that j matter. We hope The Record readers j will bear with us for a short while un- i der the circumstances. Building Roads If all the rural route carriers were to do as It said that Mr. Rufus Farrell, on route 3, does, the county . roads would soon be in perfect condition. A gen tleman noticed in his car the other day a P'ck and shovel and Mr. Farrell was asked what he did with them. "Why, " ne replied, "I take them along to help build roads. If I come to a bad place I Set out and work it and soon have a good road to travel over. It does not take much time and I can get over the rad quicker." Hoad Bond Election Aft lA . . : 1 1 . , .

Just after The Record went to press last Thursday morning it was learned that John Brooks had shot John Perry, his landlord, three times with a single barrel shotgun, many of the shot tak ing effect in his victim's face, arms, chest and stomach. Dr. Milliken was summoned and succeeded in removing several shot. Perry will recover. Brooks, after a hearing before 'Squire R. M. Burns, was sent to jail. The trouble started between Brooks and Perry late Wednesdav over SfimA ! land Brooks was to cultivate, and next morning was renewed over some work Brooks was to do. In his evidence Brooks stated that Perry knocked him down and threaten ed to stamp him during the quarrel but let him up; that he went to his house, got a gun and some shells, returned ti the lot where the fuss occurred and shot Perry three times. He said Perrv hollered each time he was shot, trying an tne time to get out of the way. The distance, about 50 yards, was the only thing that saved the life of Perty. Perry is an industrious young farm er, having moved here about tw.o years ago and lives near his father, Sylvi? Perry. He is a brother of Rev. G. W. Perry of Bynum." -Brooks is about 50 years old, unmarried and of rather weak mind. ''-: v " r ' -. ' k Town House-Builders The following from the Wilmington Star would help Pittsboro as well a? it helps Smithfield. The Star says tha' "Smithfield 's housing syndicate ha.' been doing business. Its first new houses will be ready for rent or sale by the first of August. Smithfield was growing so fast she did not have houses for the newcomers knocking at he) door. Her business men have met that situation and propose to build a house for every family that wants to locate in their thrifty town." Wendell, a few miles east of Ral eigh, another growing town, is adver tising for contractors to build twenty odd houses to rent or sell. If Pittsbon wants people move here houses must 1 e built for them. Don't let this be a fin ished town. Do something build hous s and more houses. There's enough va cant land in the limits of Pittsboro t build a thousand houses and then havt land enough left for the rabbits to ac cumulate in. The Next State Fair The advance premium list of fielr crops only of the 58th Nerth Carolin state fair and peace jubilee, to be helc October 20th to 25th. is now ready for distribution. Mr. Charles W.

He was an interesting talker Tuesday evening to a number of friends. In telling of the "doings" over in France, he related the story of a French shoemaker, among other things. He said that he had picked up a smattering of French words and had learned enough to do some talking among the French people. One day he went into a shoe shop in Paris to have his shoes worked on, and he commenced to give the shoemaker the best and all he knew in French. They talked on for an hour or so, doing his best to make the old shoemaker think he was a fine French scholar, until he had used up all the words he knew and was get ting ready to "vamoose t'le ranch," or shoe shop, when the shoemaker, with a smile on his face, looked up and re marked in good old United States lan guage: "You talk pretty well in French." The old shoemaker had been riving in Philadelphia up to two years before the war broke out. Mr. Farrell said he was thunder struck. There he had sat for two hours giving the man the best French he had when the shoemaker could talk better English than he could. When he first landed in France, Mr. Farrell said, but few if any of the American boys could count French money. When any of them went into a store to buy anything they would pick up what they wanted and at the same time hold out a handful of money for '".he shopkeeper to get his pay, who vould always took all the money in sight. Later on the boys learned how :o count the money and they did not have any more trouble: Mr. Farrell told of many other inci dents that happened to him, which would make interesting reading, but "-pace forbids. Resolutions of Respect Whereas, since the last meeting of the Winnie Davis Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy of Pitts boro, the death angel has entered our mortals and removed from our midst Mrs. Lou Horne Brooks, a charter -nember of the chapter and a loyal, de voted daughter; now, therefore, be it Resolved, That in her departure there has passed from life to enrich the realms above a devoted and faithful member -f our chapter; a loving daughter; ? pure and consecrated wife; a tender and afFectionate mother; a sincere friend and a devout Christian, one who with tender faithfulness discharged the du ties of life, who loved her friends, and 'or her kindly acts and unselfish deeds vas beloved by them, and who through vetks of suffering and pain, with un complaining fortitude and smiling cour age gazed into the vast Unknown anr1 embarked for the silent shore unafraid: Se it further Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes; that a copy ie sent the bereaved family of our de larted Daughter, and that a copy be 'ent the Chatham Record and the Siler City Grit with request that the same ie published MRS.

Installing mixing and grinding ma chinery. Operating 20 steamers. Will supply farmers 16 per cent acid phos phate, soft phosphate, lime, etc. The Fisheries Products Co., of Wil mington, N. C, tho largest producers and manufacturers of fish scrap fertil izer in the United States,. operating 20 menhaden fishing steamers and plants at St. Phillips,. Brunswick county, N. C, Hicks Island,. N. Y., and Lewes, Delaware, are now installing grinding and mixing machinery at all of their plants for the purpose of mixing and grinding their acidulated fish scrap with 16 per cent acid phosphate, and will put it out to the farmers of North Car olina in even weight bags, tagged and ready for immediate distribution. This company has recently acquired from the Canadian government their en tire patrol fleet of seven of. the largest menhaden fishing steamers on the coast, making about twenty steamers in their fleet, which will operate on the Atlantic coast from Maine to Texas, in catching the menhaden fish for the pur pose of manufacturing fish scrap and rish oil. This company has a large business with the farmers of North Carolina, as well as in other states, and owing to the numerous requests they have ar ranged to supply the farmers of North Carolina with 16 per cent phosphate, lime and other fertilizer materials, in addition to their product of acidulated fish scrap in its raw state or mixed with 16 per cent acid phosphate. The catching of the menhaden fish for fertilizer purposes is regarded at all times as one of the most important industries of the United States, as it is one of the best sources of ammonia for fertilizer purposes that is obtainable by the farmers of our country. Their product of fish oil is extensively used m the manufacture of soap, leather, tempering steel, munitions, compound ing paints and other important uses. The state of North Carolina, and es pecially our neighboring city, Wilming ton, is fortunate in having an industry of this character as it necessitates sev eral hundred employes to operate their steamers and plants, thus bringing an enormous amount of money to the bus iness interests of Wilmington and other places in North Carolina by their pay roll, which is' perhaps close to $1,000, 000 annuafly. This company spends a large amount of money each year in purchasing food supplies for their employees, as they either live on the boats or at their plants. For the last two or three months the company has had their steamers over hauled and painted at Wilmington, and all of them have been inspected by the United States government's inspectors and are now ready for immediate ser vice. The company expects to start fishing at St. Phillips in a short time and from present indications, they will have a remarkable season, not only in the south but in their northern plants as well. As this company is the largest of its kind in the United States it is reason ably supposed that they will grow tre mendously as fish scrap fertilizer is con sidered one of the best fertilizers in the world, and it ir in great demand by the North Carolina farmers particular ly and the southern farmers generally, for their cotton, tobacco, corn and oth er farm products. At a stockdolders meeting of this company held a short time ago, Mr. K. M. Barnes, of Lumberton, and Mr. Thos. W. Davis, of Wilmington, were placed on the board of directors. A New University The N.
