CHILDREN'S EXERCISES MT. PLEASANT
A Large Attendance and a Day of Genuine Pleasure
For All That Were Present and Ideal Weather For
The OccasionCedar Grove NextSunday.
PROGRAMME OF MUCH MERIT
Attorney
A. C. Ray, Speaks in The
Afternoon.
Laat Sunday marked another
red lettr day for the Methodists
of Chatham county, childrens'
day exercises having . been held
a Mt. Pleasant church, eight
miles north of Pittsboro on the
Hawirver circuit, of which Rev.
j VV. Autry is pastor.
The day was an ideal one for
such an occasion, the showers of
Saturday having cooled the at
mosphere and settled the dust,
and the beautiful surroundings
of the church were grand for the
outdoor dinner and social inter
course. The dinner was spread
famiiy style. Just like Pleasant
Hill and Browns Chapel, there
were enough tempting ictuals
there to feed an army of hun
gry soldiers. The Record man
viewed that long table after the
dinner spread, before the folks
were allowed to eat and it is
needless to say that the picture
surpassed that of an artists'
hand, , especially to a hungry
printer man's mind. There is
no use for the rural people of
Chatham county to insist that
they are experiencing hard times,
n- is impossible. Anvone that
hn observation at all can look !
into the faces of those people, in i
fact at all these country churches,
and partake of the splendid vi
ands, and know they are the salt
of the earth and
Lhit the good
God has blessed
them with anLto
abundance, and with a sp
women folk who know how to
cook it.
The Mi. Pleasant choir is a
good one the singing was good
and we want to near them again
sometime.
The rendition of the program
by the little folks was splendid
i.Li. n
appreciate the splendid manner
n i i nir i r j i u v j w-i ca ti i i "j iti i i .
in whioh it was carried out andl
just how those young folks ac-;
quitted themselves, would be to
see it.
B.W.Mann. Ihe suDerinten-
dent of the Sunday school, and
who by the way, has held the
place for more than SO years, !
was master of ceremonies, and
directed the following splendid

After the program was com
pleted, the folks repaired to the
grove where the dinner was
spread and the editor was well
fed. An intermission of more
than an hour followed and then
the congregation re -assembled
in the church where Attorney A.
C. Ray, of Pittsboro, made an
inspiring talk, so much so that
he persuaded many that he had
missed his calling as a lawyer,
and it was suggested that he
should receive his commission as
a preacher.
The Record editor was pleased
speak a few words to the con
gregation and only wished that
his ability as a talker should have
been equal to his ambition tr be
one, but it was a genuine pleas
ure to be with those good people
and we hope to be there again.
ROME BOY BURIED
A Larsre Number of -People See Ben
z
Clark's Body jnterred.
Ben Clark, the son of Donnie
Clark, of Albright township, was
a soldier in France during the
World War. He was one of the
unfortunate boys who lost -his
life on November 9th. 1918, just
two days before the armistice
was signed, a bullet piercing his
head while on duty in the trench
es.
The young mans body reached
his old home last Saturday- and
was buried in Soupi Fork church
cemetery on bund ay. Manv peo
cle were there, and the military
service by members of the Am
erican Lee-ion Irom Graham was
an impressive one.
The' sound of the 21 volley sa
lutes, as they were fired over the
hnHv. in militarv honor, on the"
still Sabbath day, ' caused his
manv friends greater sorrow for
his death.
The casket was opened at the

TWO INTERESTING GAMES.
Baseball Predominates on
Friday and Saturday of

ested the large attendance." It
was soon learned though that
Pittsboro would have a battle for
victory and our boys put ginger
in the playing. However, the
visitors copped the game as is
shown by the box score and sum

TAKE OUR MORAL ADVANTAGE
Republicans. Probably Get Together
and Make Good Election Promise
(Special to The Chatham Record)
Washington, D. C , June 29.
The Dove of Peace with a broken
wing is nuttenng painiuuy be
tween the republican senate and
he republican house, both of
which seem determined to display
heir surgical activities in a way
to further mutilate the innocent
victim.
As predicted the Knox resolu-
ion repealing the declaration of
war was killed in the house A
resolution by Chairman Porter of
he house committee on foreign
affairs, declaring the state of
war with Germany at an end and ,
claiming protection of our rights
under the Versailles treaty, was
substituted under a special gag
rule barring amendment.
The spirited fight against the
gag rule by democratic members
ed by Congressman Flood ( Va. )
Cochran (N. Y.) and Linthicurn
Jl 1 ! J? '1'
l,ivia.;, ana aemqcratic opposition
o the resolution itself led by
Congressman Klood, Garret and
Davis (Tenn.) and Barkley(Ky.)
not only exposed the futility (f
his unconstitutional method ot
attempting to make peace and to
enter into contractual relations
by an act of congress with an
other government, but also show
ed that it imperiled the property .
right of this government grow-
ng out of the war and was a
blow to American honor, pres
tige and statesmanship, as Mr.
Flood pointed out.
Congressman Flood declared
that it was an invasion of the
treaty-making power vested by
the constitution in th1 president
by and with the advice of the
senate. This constitutional ex
ecutive prerogative is one of
which Mr. Harding is becoming
more and mx)re jealous.
Mr. Garret in a masterly speech
declared: "The passage of this
resolution throws away every
moral and phyical .advantage
whiih we now possess; it places
us aione among nations with all
our vital interests exposed to the
constant menace of a selfish and
irritated world."
Whether or not the Knox reso
lution passed by the senate and
the Porter resolution passed by
the house- will result in a dead
lock or whether the republicans
will get together on an equally
impotent resolution in an attempt
to irake good Mr. Harding's elec
tion promise for a declaration of
peace remain to be seen.
In the meantime it has been
made clear that neither the Knox
nor Porter resolution will make
peace which can only be done
through a treaty negotiated by
the executive and ratified by the
senate.
Both the Knox and Porter res
olutions are regarded merely as
arrows shot into the air to divert
the attention of the public from
the fact that despite the passage
of either or a substitute resolu
tion, this country is exactly in
the same position with respect to
peace it was the day following
j the armistice.
