A TIUJE FM'EN'D - AND A TRUE STOHY Tom Leach, the colored janitor of the courthouse here, went to Florida two or three weeks ago to visit a friend, and thereby hangs a tale. Tom has returned and tells of his trip. He says Florida is a great country. While in Jack sonville he was the guest of an old friend of his whom he had not seen nor heard of since 1876. During that; year Tom arid his friend worked together in a hotel in Morehead City. Tom finally landed m Pittsboro where he married and settled down. His friend went to Florida. ' At thai time land was cheap in Florida and Tom's friend bought many acres of it for 25 and 50 cents an acre. Later, a railroad was built through this land and a site for a depot was given the railroad. This man began to raise cattle for the market. As he prospered he bought land and built, houses in Jacksonville and now has more than 20 houses which return him a good rental and today Tom's friend sits back on his oars a rich man. & He never forgot Tom and learn ing through a drummer that Tom was still living, wrote to him Letters were passed -between them, old 'tirr.es were crne over, Tom reminding his friend of the days and nights when they rat tied dishes together in 'hehote at Morehead City. That settled it. A few days after these let ters passed Tom received a check covering pll his expenses fron Pittsboro to Jacksonville and re turn. And he went. So much for true friendship. Should End All Argument In answer to inquiries as tc where Gen. William T. Shermaii made his famous speech in which he defined war, and to refute intimations that he never said it at all. A Columbus, 0., dispatch asserts that Gen. Sherman said in Columbus cn August 12, 18S0, nd in support of the assertion produces from its files the ccpy of a shdrt address he made there it that time in which the now famous expression defining war was made. " The occasion was a reunion of the Civil war soldiers of Ohio. President Hayes was a guest of honor and most of living'generak of the Civil war were present. The addresses were made in the open air at4 jBranklin park. It was raining hard when Gen. Shermans turn came to speak, but he stood out uncovered and j delivered his short speech. As published, it contained just 3CS words. Alluding to the fact that old soldiers did not mind the rain, he continued; "You all know that this is not soldiering. There is many a boy here to day who thinks war is all glory, but, boys, it is all hell. You can bear that warning to generations yec to come. I look upon it witn norror, out, ir it has to come, I am here." This last clause brought great applause and when it subsided the general proceeded on another line f thought. ' The dath ratio among Civil war veterans has been one out of every ten since Memorial day last year, according to announce ment made at the Bureau of Pensions in Washington. There were 273,720 veterans on the pension -rolls err May 30, 1919. Th3 deaths reported since are 27,720. Glr ai nnxn Goiinly Koads. Editor of The Record: I stand for anything which j means for the uplift an devolop- ment of our good county. The one thin ? which has done more to retard the progress and devel opment ot our county than any thing else is 'our bad roads. I am proud of what some town ships of the county are doing for good roads; but Chatnam county as a whole is doing nothing like what she ought to do in this dir ection. She, is not keeping pace with many of her neighboring counties. I feel that one of the reasons for our backwardness in road building is that we as a coun ty, have no definite road build ing plan. I believe the county should be the unit for road build ing instead of the township. 1 realise that this was impossible at first and perhaps still impes sible on account of hostile senti ment; but I believe that we should work in that direction. Town ship roads in order to be of much benefit must connect with the roads of the adjoining town ships and. must lead to the most frequented places, and often they are laid of f with neither of these things in view. And, also, in order to stimilate the working of roads and the expenditure of money for good roads, and in or der to conserve our money and our labor and make each mear, the most, the roads must, as ai as possible, be permanent roads and not roads whose course may soon be changed and the old road ieserted for the new and tht ime and labor and money speni on the old roai practical iy thrown away I think the courses of theroadr over the entir3 county should be established, so that the people may know which roads to wor and where to spend their money. It will take a competent suveyoi to do this. I hope the county commissioners will employ a sur veyor and have these roads laid off. Victor R.. Johnson. Successful Mission. RevvJohn Hartley, D. D., con ducted a mission at the Episco oal Church from Monday, , May 24th. to Sunday, May 31st These services were most inter esting, Dr. Hartley preaching some of the strongest sermons that has ever been heard in Pitts boro. On Sunday morning, May 30th, he preached on the state ment of Christ to Nicodemusthat we must be born again, which he explained in a very clear and intensely interesting manner. The concluding service on Sun day night, May 30th, was a serm onic lecture on "The Conquests of the Nation," which was greatly appreciated by his large congregation. All of his sermons were excellent, and in all of them Dr. Hartley showed that he is a thinker of . rare discern ment and an able preacher Pittsboro people are unanimous in hoping that they may have the pleasure of hearing Dr. Hart ley again. ..

MORRISON 'CHALLENGES : GARDNER .TO DEBATE Also Replies To What He 'De scribes As 'Most Unjust' At tack of Henry sPage Ixo.iboro, June 19. "If Mr. Gardner has any assault to make upon me I am xvillinp- and reauy to meet him face to ace anv where at any tune in North Carolina in joint debate upon any question, personal or othervase, de clared Cameron Morrison, while speak ing before a crowded court room m the Person county court house this afternoon, when he answered statements made against him by Henry A. Page in introducing Gardner at Aberdeen Thurs day night and denounced ' what he termed a. "bitter and cruel hgtit on the part of the Shelby candidate and his friend?. "I will stand, my character for com- i -w r r - i - !arison sgamst lvir. urnuier, ueciarea Mr. Morrison, "but don't get away off Hnd say things against me. , . ' Mr. Morrison declared in opening nis address that "until now I have re trained from engaging in any personal criticism of my opponent1; I believe . I i'.ui truthfully say that nothing has been said by me that would create bitter Reeling or tend to divide the Democrats of North Carolina. ' i "But," he added, "recently I have been terribly provoked. Having won che nomination in fairness' and kindness siy opponent 'and hii friends have begun one of the bitterest and crudest fights on me."' With these remarks Mr. Morrison took ip the introductory speech of Htnry A. Page at Aberdeen on last Thursday .light. 4Mr. Page made a most an? brotherly and unjust attack," said the speaker. "I have no . reply to Mr. Page'3 hare as to my personal characteris es. Hi3 action places me in distin guished company. It has been only i few years since this gentleman made v '.clous and brutal attack on Chief r.i;;tice Walter Clark. When Chief rtK-tl:c CI:uk was ' nominated by the Democratic party he bolted the con .oiition and set up another candidate. Nevertheless," continued Mr. Morrison, 'ihe Democrats selected Chief Justice larlc overwhelmingly. ''A little later," he continued, "when ?residenf Wilson on recommendation of Senator Simmons iind Overman ap pointed Hon. William C. Hammer dis ici attorney, - Mr. ..rage filed objee ions and assailed Mr. Hammer's char acter. Despite this abuse the appoint tsent was confirmed and he has just eon nominated for Congress by the jeople of Mr. Page's district." 'Mr. Page says he has been asso rted in various capacities with me or thirty year3. I deny this. I havo ;ever had a business transaction with am in my life. He has never been in ny home and I have never been in his. The only thing I have had to do with iia was in hotels, on trains and other public places,' and then I was amused y listening at his scoffing." He concluded his remarks on this subject, before beginning his regular Democratic speech, with the statement Lhat he has tried to conduct his eam "?in cn a high plane, denouncing Mr. Gardners' attacks on him and calling ipon Mr. Gardner to meet -him. face to face in debate if he wished to continue iris attacks upon him. .. i Special Term A special term of court of two .veeks beginning July 6th will be neld in this county for the trial of civil cases, Judge W.
