FAMOUS IN A NIGHT Chapel Hill's Fast Flyer Hits the Ground The Chapel Hill limited ran off the track the other night. Capt. Smith's special, the pride of all the people who live in the 10.2 miles between University Sta tion and-Qhapel Hill, staggering along under the burden of three extra trunks and a crate of shoats, lost heart at the second hill and one car lay down and died. The net result was thathe cross -ties were -badly scarred, a freight car was shaken up, a small sum was added to the total 01 human profanity, and Chapel Hill folks did not get their mail until nigh on to midnight. The immediate occasion of the wreck has not bsen determined. Prominent railroad officials denied stoutly that a cow had anything to do with it, but it became known today that a suspicious looking hound dog was seen near the railroad station earlier in the afternoon and that he has subse quently disappeared. Ther3 is a further rumor that the running time of 40 minutes for tke 10.2 miles may be reduced to 38 minutes and that a speed trial was made with the above disastrous results. ' 'I have been living kere 52 years," said a res dent of Chapel Hill, "and I ain't never seen any good come out oi trying to speed up. Why can't these people be reasonable?" To Advertisers and Others In o.der to get the paper out to most of the subscribers on the day of publication, The Record will in future go to press on Wed nesday afternoons. If advertis- e:s have anything for the paper Idleness is weakening the JDUntry. We nave gync iiiuj luc usmess of filling tne entire coun- v with well paid officials. Every kislature adds to the number ind every congress authorizes a fclid batch of new officeholders, ho draw pay from the United My first proposition, as amenc- of hroken-up affairs, would be scaling down of these needless ificials. They are actually in ev- body's way. They tramp on e feet of the gmg itself, and eymust either do something to ow they are doing something w, or they cannot get a pay velope once a week or twice a lonth. Like grasshoppers, they nibble 1 any new thing which stands ir a fat pay envelope and the pes are raised accordingly. We these people prow fat and I they will d? v. & forr b swA Fe well, and somebody's pop- fty or somebody's labor is made foot the bill. The higher price for clothes. lees, hats, automobiles and such e, the more crazy are the mass- to crowd in to buy. The land is crowded with ex- nsive automobiles. When I iro Atlanta I see the streets are eked with them, closely wedg- i, and one who tries to cross 17 public street, has todorW 1 SCU1TV flTirl cliV T-wtt vy, lu xeacn curbstone.

He was from Hickory Mountain township. His attorney, Mr. Wade Bar ber, had procured a pardon for Crutchfield from Gov. Bickett and the papers were sent to Sher iff Lane last Saturday. Before the pardon reached him notice was received 01 his death. Battle School News Deferred from last week. School opened Monday, Febru ary 23, after being closed for two weeks on account of influenza. Those who had good reading lessons for the past week were as follows: - First grade: Atlas Cooper, Ed ward Perry, Eulalia Clark, Elma Cooper, Edna Cooper. Second grade: Daisy Campbell. Third grade: Julia and Lozell Campbell, Hazel Johnson, Jua nita Webster. V- e urge that the pupils will come every day so that they can make their grade. A TXT 1 1 a vvasnington program was rendered Friday afternoon in so ciety and also a short debat Query, ' 'Resolved, That the horse is more useful to mankind than the cow." The affirmative side won, although there were some very interesting points brought out on both sides. The visitors were Mrs. Bob Hill and Mrs. R. L. Campbell. It is hoped that others will come. We are always glad t have visitors. Edith Clark has been absent from school sereral days on ac count of sickness. It is hoped that she will soon be able to start again. Mr. John Clark and family have been very sick with influenza. We are glad to learn that they are improving rapidly and that the children can start to school soon. 1 Both teachers and pupils were very sorry to know of the death of Lois Johnson. She will be greatly missed at school. Mr. Wade Ferguson and his "girl," Miss Dora Clark, motor ed to Siler City last Thursday. On their way balk they got stuck up in the mud. They had much Lrcublc. Finally llizs Clark had to push him in home. . Messrs. H. H. Whitehead and Wade Ferguson delightfully en tertained a number of friends at the home of Mr. W. R. Perry. After the refreshments were served Miss Rosser Ferguson and Mr. W. R. Perry entertained the crowd with music. At 11 o'clock all departed, declaring that they had had a delightful time. JJ.

Another thing needed is boarding houses. Tne hotels are full and there are no private boarding houses here. Men and women who come hereto work have to leave be cause they can get no accommo dation.

C. m BANK OF SANFORD The Bank of Community Progress THE story of the Bank of Sanford reads like a romance; it was always a story of development. One of the first big things W. J. Edwards undertook was the construc tion of the Atlantic and Western Railroad. Can anybody es timate the value that little railroad has been to the central & ir if Dart of North Carolina? It has opened an area of country t which has increased in values and in the "output of product that, is comnarabie to r lODiner tne lamp oi Aiaaam. Edwards found the region a wilderness. He gathered up money in his little bank. It helped in the development of the region. New that little road hauls out products " Worth hundreds of thousands From farms worth a hundred or two an acre. Communities have grown up along the line. The Wilderness has given place to activity. THE BANK OF SANFORD was a little bank then. It is a bigger bank now, with assets a million and a quar-. ter, but it was helping to develop the country then to the best of its abilities, just as it is now. Ever Think of it This Way? .
