ESTABLISHED SEPT. 19, 1878. PITTSBORO, N.C, CHATHAM CO., THURSDAYSEPTEMBER 1,1921. VOL. XLI Y NO. 5 ELECTRIC LIGHT-POWER A CERTAINTY Hurley Brothers to Complete Dam at Lockville as Early as Possible PITTSBORO TO BE WIRED NOW Citizens Are Urged to Wire Residences and Business Places at Once. Last Monday Capt. B. Nooe, mayor, and Daniel L. Bell, town comrrissioner, accompanied by W. R. Thompson and Colin G. Shaw, a committee from the Chamber of Commerce, visited the Messrs Hurley Brothers, pro motors of the dam at Lockville, that is to produce 1200 to 1500 horse power for electric current, and received positive assurance that Pittsboro could be on the ground floor in getting all the current that she needs. Mr. Gilliam, representing them will be in Pittsboro in a few days to confer with town Commission ers in regard to wiring the town, building the line from Lockville and other necessary , arrange ments to get things in readiness for the liht and power. The work at Lockville is to be pushed to completion and it is hoped to able to turn on . the current by January 1st. It is the opinion of the Messrs Hurley that the town should go ahead with the work of wiring the town and that all those own ing houses have them wired as promptly as possible, because they will probably have the cur rent ready by the time this work is done. Now, folks, we have been wanting this modern improve ment and the more that-take the current the more certain is the guarantee of getting it. It is necessary for. the . town., to con ' tract for a specified number of horse power to get it and unless there is a sufficient number of users to consume this horse pow er, the town cannot afford to make the contract. It is up to us to take action at once. Re member the town Commissioners will make the contract when they hf.ve gotten this information and not before it. Your commission ers aud Chamber of Commerce have done their dutfy, now will you do yours and do it promptly. Williams-Moody. On Sunday, Aug. 21st, Mr. J. C. Williams and Miss Mary Ida Moody were happily united in marriage. Mrs. Williams is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Moody, of near Reavei' Chapel, Hickory Mt. township. She is a young woman of rare charm and at tractiveness and possesses many sweet and beautiful , traits of character, being of a very quiet and modest disposition and a true and devoted Christian. Mr. Williams is one of Oakland township's most progressive, and prosperous farmers. He is a'man of ability, with an unquestionable character, and high ideals. The young couDle will reside at the beautiful country home of the Rruom near Johnson's bridge. They both have .many friends who predict for them a long, nappy and usptul life. Ethel Shepard. One of the delightful features of the program on the third day f the Chautauqua will be con st ibuted by Miss Ethel Shepard. m a series of pianologues, so prano and piano solos. Her clean cut impersonations and the ease and grace that characterize all ner renditions have elicited much enthusiastic praise from press and public. Miss Shepard comes fft'm the orange 'blossoms of f.londa, and brings with her the "gnt and sunshine and sweetness Jt Personality typical of her na tive state. Hor part of the pro gram will linger m the memory 01 , her audience long after the Chautauqua closes. Eub-My-Tism is a powerful antiseptic. Cures infected cuts, 04 sores, tetter, etc. SUNDAY AX HANKS. Large Congregations Attend Opening : Services ofNMeeting. - "" Last Sunday the editor had his first opportunity to attend Hanks Chapel Christian church, four miles east of Pittsboro, It.was the occasion of the beginning of the protracted meeting there and w& found multitudes of generous, whole-hearted people. In addi tion to the church being filled to the fullest capacity, many were unable to get inside and occupied automobiles just outside to pro tect them from the small driz zling, rain that fell during the morning. The pastor, Rev. J. S. Cardeni is being ably assisted by Evange list C. Rolling, ot Ft. Worth. Texas. Mr. Rolling preached at 11 o'clock in the morning and 1:30 in the of ternoon. It is useless to say that his discourses were force ful as well as fruitful. He is a powerful speaker; attractive in delivery and holds the attention of the audience splendidly.. He is a native of Wake county, North Carolina, but has adopted Texas as his mission field and has re sided there for many years. Between the services there was a dinner spread on the ground : and the vast throng of people enjoyed themselves to the full extent, and the editor was well taken care of in this particular. Just like other sections of Chat ham county, the folks in this section are a hard working, in dustrious set of folks. They all have plenty and can be depended upon to meet any emergency, The meeting will continue through the week including Fri day. Services will begin each day at 10:30 with a song and praise service and preaching at 11, and after dinner on the grounds each day, an afternoon service will be held. Congratulation. 1 want to congratulate Sheriff Blair for the arrest of Bob Thomp- son. l also wane to praise tne Chatham Record for the stand taken against Bob Thompson and the liquor traffic. And I want to say what I think and believe about Bob and the liquor busi- A a 1 - ness. Any man or woman rnat favors Bob Thompson in his traf fic with liquor or wants to screen or get him out just simply .favors the liquor traffic, and there is not a speck of prohibition in them. Why old Bob just as well be pun ished as old Manly Smith or any other violator. I am surprised that anybody that don't favor liquor as a beverage, would take" up and try to get any violator of the liquor traffic screened -oi nunishment. I know an old man is less able to work our road than a young man, but there is no Question but what an old man knows it is a violation of law to handle liquor. But it could be possible that some young men or boys did not know. I favor purf ishment to old and young who. violate the law. It is quite a sur prise to see how seeming good men and women, lawyers and ex perts will work so hard to screen vio ators ot the law wnen tney know they are guilty. The courts would soon put an end to crimes and especially if they, were all like the court Judge Cranmer held in Pittsboro August 1, 1921, if it was not for experts and false witnesses and misrepresea tations of facts by lawyers. Go on Sheriff Blair and arrest every man or woman you catch hand ling liquor or any other crime. Say what you "please 'Chatham Record you cannot denounce crime1 too strong. - You say in vour last issue you want to know 1 sentiments of people.' It is sL f ore gone conclusion that all good men and women in the United States oppose intoxicants as a beverage : A PROHIBITIONIST. Goldston, N. C, ,Rt. 1, Aug. 27, 1921. ' Watch your label. BRlCKHAVfiN. In a long and uninteresting game the Jones Chapel team was defeated on their home diamond by the Moncure team last Saturday. Hereafter a more detailed report of the ball team activi ties will be given. The writer, although interested in baseball, and hearti'.y en dorsing athletic sports, is not a "fan" by any paeans, and one who thoroughly understands the game has kindly con sented to furnish the reports each week. Messrs. W. J. Hannan, E. V. Law rence and J. P. Utley, who have been spending a few days in Norfolk are ex pected home this week. Master Frank Johnson returned to his home in Raleigh Sunday afternoon. For the past ten days he has been visit ing O. C. Kennedy. Frank thinks ten days passes all too quickly when one is Shaving such a pleasant time. He thor oughly enjoyed the frequent trips to "Buckhorn Beach for dips in the surf. " Mrs. Phil Harrington is spending the week in Bonsai with her mother, Mrs. J. H. Buchannan. Mrs. Johnny Garner, who has been quite ill for more than a week is much better.

The traveling library which is open on Sundays is to be returned Sept. 20 All those having books are asked to re member the date and 'return all books in due time. TRUTH. Some Trip For Editor. The editor run over to Durham last Thursday afternoon in his John Henry to look over the old soldiers and see that Chatham heroes were having a good time. Going by way of Chapel Hill, we found a splendid road to within four miles of that town, but the remaining distance was all that a bad road could be. Leaving Durham late in the afternoon ac companied by Mr. W, A. Elling ton and Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Clegg, we decided to return by Apex. The roads on this route were fine, but indefinite, there fore we were back tracked three times, in addition to having, one blow out and the jim spring on the vibrator box refused to co operate with the magneto post and the momentum of the old Ford was reduced to the mini mum. However, it was a pleas ant trip and we returned to "home, sweet home" before com plete darkness prevailed and we are glad of the journey. .Merchants Organize. The merchants of Sanford have formed an Association and have mapped out a splendid program for the better trading conditions in that thriving citv. It is cer tainly an advanced movement and shows that the business men of that town are wide-a-wake to the needs of the trading public and will afford every facility for their welfare. Among the char ter members of the organization are Record advertisers. They can be depended upon to be lead ers every time. This . organiza tion will mean much toward tak ing patronage to Sanford and is a move that the dealers in Pittsboro' might well sit up and take notice of while opportunity knocks. Extends Greeting. Mrs John H. Anderson, of Fayetteville, Recording Secre tary of the North Carolina Divis ion of the U. D. C, attended the Re-Union of; Confederate, Veter ans at Durham, accompanied by Miss Carrie Jackson, of Pitts boro.

All pupils are urged to enter the opening day as it is hard to classify students after the school has arranged the classes to suit the pupils who enter at first.1 Especially do we urge all patrons of the school to enter all pupils that will be m the first grade. Students that have never attended school can not enter after the first of the school and make the grade. All pupils that will be six years of age during September and Octo ber can enter at the opening of the school. 1 The committeemen have en larged the sixth and seventh grade room in order to accommo date the increased number that will be expected in these two grades. Thirty new desks have been purchased for the school. Various other improvements have also been -made in the buildings and on the grounds.- The . play ground equipment is being in stalled on the grounds. The Womans' Club last spring pur cnased a slide and giant stride for the pupils. , These will be ready for use at the opening of the school. The prospects are good for a large attendance this year. Many high school students have al ready declared their intention of being in school this year and many have already arranged for board. , The teachers for this year are as follows. Earl R. Franklin, Principal, Misses Lossie and Loula Stone the high school teachers, Miss Julia Barclay the sixth and seventh grade teacher, Miss Nellie R. Pilkington the fourth and fifth grade teacher. Miss Grace Burke the upper sec ond and third grade teacher, and Miss Burwell Patterson the first and lower second grade teacher, music Mrs. H. A. Bynum. EARL R. FRANKLIN, Principal. Good Roads Association.

The sessions of the convention will be held in Guil ford's new Courthouse, of which any county in the United States might well be proud. : A Good Meeting. , , The meeting, at the Baptist church was one that the folks of Pittsboro will remember for many davs to come. It was more large ly attended than any meeting here in a long time, all denomi nations en tenner into it with enr thusiasm and it certainly was blessed with results. 1 he preach ing of Dr. Poe was splendid and the foks of Pittsboro are proud of him. . Six joined the church and were baptized last Sundav. During the month of Septem ber the Case 10-18 Tractor will be offered at $800. If you. are thinking of getting a tractor, now is your time.

Mr. Caudle did some fine pleaching, which was accompanied by the power of the Holy spirit and some 12 or 15 professed faith in Christ The church was greatly strengthened and the community, brought clos- er together. m Our Methodist brethren and sisters came, many of them every day and helped greatly in making the meeting what it was, Bro. Boone has some of the salt of the earth out at Brown's Chapel. Our Emmaus people rendered splendid service all during' the meeting, many thanks and God bless every one of them. Mr?. . Caudle presided at the organ and rendered in- dispesnive aid and we can never forget her. May God's richest biessings rest upon Ivy A. Cau dle ana nis noble wife. The Junior choir was an attractiye feature of the services which we hope to keep going and shall try to make it a success. As pastor of the church I feel sure that I express the sentiment of the entire membership of the church when I extend a . hearty welcome to all to join us in our worship every first Sunday. Bro, Waff and his good people would encourage and help us all if they could drop in on us sometimes. They liave a warm welcome awaiting them at New Salem. The baptizmg will take place at the bridge near Mr. Hamlet's on the graded road about 1-2 mile from the church at 10:30 a. m. Sunday morning Sept 4th,' 1921. Let us every one win one for Christ. Blessings on all, with the Record family a large share. Respectfully, W. A. CRABTREE, Pastor. . , Bear CreeWj ft.C" Aug. 17, 1921 Good Work, Boys. On the holy Sabbath day, when folks should have been worship ing God, there were two or more men of Chatham county engaged in an effort to make illicit whis key, one in Baldwin and the oth er in Center townships. Thanks to active men, however, in the person of deputy sheriffs, C. B. Atwater and C L. Lassater, they captured the outfits and brought them to Pittsboro. Both were of copper design and calculated to put many gallons of this stuff in the country. Sheriff Atwater found his in Baldwin on Sunday. It had been removed from the stand, but all the paraphenalia and liquor slops were destroyed, while sheriff Lasater found his Sunday night in full operation near the shingle mill at Haywood. Several men were at this one and the sheriff recognized two of them sufficiently to have papers issued, one of them even trying to assault him with a spade. We hope that all of them may be caught and tried and made to suffer for their sins against God. and humanity.
