Teachers Salaries A reeent article in the Litera ry Digest calls attention to the fact that while other workers have received additional pay on account of the increased cost of living, the school teachers salary remains practically the same. In Raleigh the pay of teachers in the public schools ranges from $62.50 a month to $75.00 a month. Board there costs about $30.00 to $35.00 a month with $10.00 for room rent. This leaves a small margin for other expenses. The highest paid -Pittsboro teachers is $75.00 a month and the lowest $65.00. Board here costs about like it does in Ra leigh, $30 to $35 per month. Monday mo ning was COLD the thermometer falling to 15 degrees above zero. The marriage of m one of our prominent citizens is to take place in the near future. Mr. C. S. ferewer of Hend erson, sp nt the week end with his mother, Mrs. M. C. Brewer, who is recovering from a fall she had several weeks ago. During the month of Janu ary there were 22 marriage li censes issued by the register of deeds of Chatham county -11 to white couples and 11 to colored. Up to Tuesday in February four licenses had been issued 1 to white and 3 to colored couples. Congressman Pou will thank any one wishing to plant govern ment seeds to send name and address on postal card. He will be glad to receive lists of names and addresses of persons who intend to plant the seeds. Such lists will receive immediate at tention. Atlas, the little 5-year old son of Mr. Turner Petty, who was so fearfully kicked on the head by a horse two or three weeks ago and was taken to a Sanford hospital for treatment, has been brought home. The little fellow will not lose the sight of an eye as was reported. Miss Emma Oaks, the 17-year-old daughter of Mrs. Iredell Oaks, of Avery county, died at the Blind Institute at Raleigh lasi Sunday. She had been confined to her bed since Feb. 1 with "sleeping sickness," so the doc tors pronounced it. In Memory of Mrs. Womble Mrs. Drbni i Griffin Womble, who recently died in Chapel Hiil, was the daughter 6 i Mr. and Mrs. W. L. and Alice Griffin Of Chatham county. A friend wrote the following to the Chap el Hill News: "She was one of the most lov able characters the writer ever knew. At her death she was 3S years eld. In early childhood she made a profession of religion and joined the Baptist church, and was a consistent member aU her life. Her mcdest, kind and uncomplaining disposition made for her a host of friends; none knew her but to love her. In her seemingly untimely death; her husband and several children have sustained their greatest loss, and over their lives has come a shadow that ' Time only; and the help of Him who 'giveth all good gifts can wipe away. No words of praise for this sweet spirited woman could - be t great. Her modest, quiet, una- suming life lived every hour, he? devotion to hr husband, chil dren and friirids, enabled afl who knew her to ssy in the lan guage of the Wise maV Prov.j 31 "that she was an ideal womam" In life she never saw a cloud hat did not have a silver lining, no dark shadows ever appeared on which she could not find a golder fringe. Truly in her life her husband and children have a golden heritage for the darkest clouds. She is not dead but sleepeth, and her spirit on yon der shore beckons her loved ones to that . land where no storm clouds arise. The floral offerings by' her host of friands were grand, es pecially those by her father's and mother's oeople on both sides, and the family of her nearest neighbor, Mrs. J. W. Crabtree's family. Such tributes spoke volumes for this sweet frail spirit. Sleep on, good frie .:d, thou has fought a good fight and gained a crown." Future Food Prices A survey recently resulted in some facts relating to future food prices of the utmost impor tance to the consuming public. First, the farmers of the coun try plan less acreage for 1920 than they had in 1919. Second, there is a prospective shortage, in beef, lamb and pork but to what extent is not yet determin ed Third, the tendency to a 44 hour week in manufactured foods pressages a snortage of consider able proportions. These facts have led Sherman J. Lowell, master of the national grange, to issue a statement .0 the farmers of the country in which he says that the only way to reduce the cost of living is for every one engaged in food produciion to do ' 'a reasonable day's work. ' ' Mr. Lowell says: 'The 44-hour week will never support America, to say nothing of feeding a hungry world." Food production in 1920 will be had under conditions differing from those of 1919, The farm ers will no longer be guaranteed a price on wheat; whatever they pioiuce must be sold at market prices which will be largely fixed by the law of supply and de mand. A great many of them feel that if they lessen the sup ply they can maintain the price. Exchange. Preparing for the Democrats The main hall of the exoosition memoria1 auditorium in San Fran cisco, where the national Demo crats convention, will be held June 28, will accommodate about 10,000 persons. Forty-five hun dred can be seated on the floor of the hall, 4,416 in the balcony and there will be standing room for 1,500 others. The four-story auditorium of concrete and granite, erected in 1915, at a cost of $2,000,000, is said to be the finest and most costly structure of its kind in America. An Afflicted Family The Snow Camp correspond ent of the Graham Gleaner, un der date of Feby 11, says that: On last Friday Osborne Hin shaw died at his home in Al bright township, Chatham coun ty. On Saturday evening one child died; Sunday morning two others died three children and tne father, .four in biie family, of influenza, pneumonia and whoop ing cough.v On Saturday night Mrs. Mar tha Kemp Thompson, grand mother of the three above chil dren, died, of -paralysis, and on Smday afternoon the grand mother and three children were laid to rest at Rocky River Friends church. .-. Jottie Marshall died of influen za and pneumonia last Sunday morning at Greensbore, was Sought to his old home in Al bright towhahip, Chatham coun ty, Sunday eveninf, was buried Monday : at Plainfteld Friends church. Deceased was a nephew of former County Commissioner John G. Clark. ' Marck Jurors , The county commissioners at their la t meeting drew the, fol lowing jurors for the March term of court which meets on Monday, the 15th: Albright J O Clark, W B Hatson, A B Dark. -- Baldwin J .

Walker, wife of the superintendent of the Barium Springs orphanage at Stateville, died Saturday ef pneumonia fol lowing influenza. The Flu Situation According to reports the flu epidemic m this county has about spent its course and is gradually dying out. Many of those who have been sick are able to be up and some are out. While the entire household of several families wee laid up with the disease, we are glad to state that they have pulled thru the worst of it and are on the road to recovery. There have haen but few deaths in the coun ty, the most notieable being the family of Osborn Hmshaw near Snow Camp. A Prohibition Blessing Prohibition in the United States, which caused enormous quantities of liquor to descend almost like an avalanche upon Nassau, has transformed the Bahamas government' s financial condition s if by magic from a deficit . t3 comparatively a huge surplus, provided labor for large numbers of unemployed and put more money in circulation in the little British colony than has been the case for many years. Judge Galls for Help With 12 murder cases to be tried during the term of Macon, Ga., Superior court, Judge H. A. Matthews has appealed to three south Georgia judges to aid him. All have agreed to come, which means that for the first time in history two branches of the Su perior court will be in continu ous operation at the same time. Tirnes Have Changed Twenty years ago nobody swat ted the fly; wore wrist watches; wore white shoes; young men had livprv bills: farmers came to town for their mail; the hired girl re ceived $1.50 a week and was hap py; the butcher threw in a chunk of liver; the merchant threw in a pair of suspenders with every suit; nobody listened on the tele phone. You could step into a saloon and get a "hot Tom and Jerry" or a cool glass of beer. Not now. Times have changed. vTwo banks of Fayetteville have been swindled out of $8,300 by a clever forger. Only a Suggestion The-Record is going to offer a suggestion to the citizens of Pittsboro this week. It is only a suggestion, and do not get frightened and cry out more tax es. This paper has talked; print ed articles and almost said 'cuss' words, about building houses here to rent. It has begged the millionaires of the town to build houses, and the answer they give is, "It costs too much." It docs not cost any more to build a house now than it did five' years ago. It is true that building material is up in price and it is also true that wages are double what they were five years ago. Now, the suggestion is this: As none of the citizens will combine and build houses, sup pose the town issue 550. 000 m bonds.. That amount .ought to buy several aeres bk which a do- en houses or more could 'be built. hey could be easily rented at $10 a month. How many years would it take 20 rented , houses rto pay off the principal and interest? Why not figure on it and put Pitts bore to growing? ;. More houses bring more people, more people bring more money, raore money , brings more - busi ness, more people bring "more money and don't you see people just rolling in here? Hooray! Rules on Rewards The attorney general's office has issued the following state ment which is being sent to sheriffs effected: "Although section 2, chapter 46 of the public local laws of 1915 is very broad in requiring the sheriff to turn over to the treas ury of the county all the emolu ments of any kind, yet this office has ruled that the $20.00 .allowed sheriffs for destroying distilleries Greg. Siip. 1913, section 2059-a," is a reward .to induce dilligence on the part of the sheriffs and so is not strictly an emolument of his- office. The force of the law would be materially impaired if we were to rule otherwise. A very large number of the coun tie of the state .have put their officers on salaries. If this re ward were to be covered into the county treasury, the stimulus of the reward, as to them, would be wholly frustrated. Conse quently, we think you are entitled .1 Anj-vv to tne $zu.uu personally m a proper case." Two Old Women A Hillsboro special to the Greensboro Daily News says: "It is more than likely that Orange county can lay claim to two of the oldest people in the state. There live near Caldwell in this county two maiden sisters, Cynthia and Ruth Bowling, who are 102 and 103 years of age re spectfully. They live with their nephew, J. L, Monk. Cynthia, the older of the sis ters, is blind, but otherwise in good health. Ruth, the younger is exceedingly active, and daily assists in the household duties. Their minds are unimpared by their great age and their remin iscences of the early days are heard with much interest by the younger people of the community. Big Land Sale A large crowd of citizens were out at the Hugh Crutchficld land sale Tuesday to witness the initial sale of the Hornaday Special Sales Co. sell 285 acres of one of the best farms in Chatham coun ty. About 10 o'clock a band of six pieces came up trom lialeigh and star ted the ball to rolling by eiving Pittsboro citizens a couple of airs, although at that time they were getting plenty of air good and strong from the north west. Mr. H. T. Hornaday, who is a cracker-jack at any thing he goes at, auctioned off the land. Mr. C. H. Lutterloh purchased the principal part of the land, paying more than $7,UUU for what he bought. The entire tract brought $9,700, or an aver age of $47.78 an acre. The "Presbyterians are short $100,000 of their goal. Edmund Davis, manager of the Efird store at Rocky Mount, is dead of the flu. SCHOOL LOANS Chatham Gets $3,GQ0 of Slate Fnnd The State Board of Edueaio has approved loans from the school building fund of. the state amounting to $144,850 distribut ed th ough 107. districts in 44 counties. This is the largest Da' ch of loans ever approved at one time. Under the terms the loan bears an interest rate of. four per cent, and Js" to be repaid at the rate - 01 ,- ppe-tentn annually, it it to be used ibr school building. , Chatham schools rot a loan ef $2000 from the above fund. . To Prevent Infuenza I see f'om the papers that the flu" is making , rapid progress in the state. There is no reason for a man having the flu. It can. be prevented if he will live right. I am 80 years old. I will tell you how I live. The first of June and September of each year I go te the Seven Springs and cleanse my sysvem thoroughly and I en joy perfect health. I never take . medicine. I am prudent aboufc eating. If I have a cold I take pinex and mix with honey or sy rup according to directions on the bottle and that cures my cold. I had no sens? nntil I was 70 years old for I spent 50 years of life trying to kill myself eating. I ate enough the first fifty years of my life, if properly distribut ed, to have fed me 300 years and if I had lived like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob on barley bread with the bran in it and dried dates and figs I never would have died. If I could get one drink of good old ante-bellum North Carolina" whiskey every day at 6 o'clock, I will go to 100, but if I.don't I may faint by the way ide. I have had whiskey every day from the time I could walk when I would stand between my father's legs, he would feed me with a silver spoon and I would say "Papa, save me the sugar." I am glad I lived m those good old days. I have had as good a time as any man who ever, lived. If any has had any better time I don't envy him. I was raised on sausages made out of the tender loins of the hog and not out of refuse beef and the waste of the ; side meat which is fit only for? pigs and puppies. I would not exchange wiih any emperor or king. I am satisfied. I have been drunk a few times but I am like the Irishman who said, amid all his rascality, he had preserved his religion en true. Iam a block ade preacher, that is, I preach. without license. A man's system is like a piece of land. If the, land is soaked with water by the . ditches filling - up, clean out tne aitcnes ana it sweetens the land. Keep the ditches of your- body open and clean your system and ketp well.. C. S. Woo ten, m the Raieiga: ' News and Observer. Green Gotton Staple C. F. O'Briant, a farmer re siding ne?r Dal ton, Ga., claims - to have produced cotton, the sta-. pie of which is pronounced green, ' tnus attaining tne objective long sought by agriculturists and sci entists. ' The sample of this "virides-, cent cotton" is of beautiful green' color and of very fine texture and fiber, resembling lamb's wool. Mr. O'Biiant has experimented for years in his effort tc produce; a cotton plant bearing a colored: fiber and has announced his in-1 tention of producing a full crop ! of his new staple the coming year.: Served Meals at 9.3 Cents Well prepared and nourishing meals were ' served the inmates of the various Buncombe county institutions at an average cost to the coun y of 9.3 cents during January. At the county home where there are 30 inmates and attendants the average cost per meal durirg January was 10.7 cents, This includes all articles of food purchased and the com modities raised on the county farm were v figured at the; loci) wholesale market prices.
