C Plant JLess Cotton Dear Editor: A year ago this fertile and po tentially prosperous region, the cotton South, was forced to cur tail cotton acreage in order to avert disaster. Today we are facing a new conditiDn, bat one that is none the less difficult. The South is again on trial. It will choose be tween the highway that leads to a splendid destiny, and that re verting to the terrifying condi tion existent a year ago. Cotton beckoned to Alexander the Great to cross the Indus, and Alexander influenced civilization perhaps mere than any other one man wit h the exception of Christ- i Venice was once pre-eminent amone the cities of thp pnH-h Venice, the merchant, trading in the cotton goods and calicos anu fine rr uslins of India; cotton in spired the industrial revolution, which made England a giant among nations and drove Napo leon from the blood-soaked fields of Europe to die a lonely exile at Sc. Helena. Cotton wns the strength of the Saracen in Spain. olent to friends and the fallen foe, but belching destruction upon the adversary in the great war. Cotton made the world war possible, if indeed the war itself was not the direct outcome of commercial jea'ousies growing out of the cotton trade. I All enlightened ( pinion, friend ly to the cotton grower, is agreed j that a new crop of more t'an 10,- 000,000 bales of cotton would be extremely hazardous. The acre age planted laot spring was j enough for a crop of more then 110,000,000 bales, under average conditions. The Southern Cotton Confer ence in convention at Memphis, December 12-13, issued a solemn warning: ' 'Do not increase your J cotton acreage. The future wel fare of millions of men, women jand children, and indeed the 'very existence of many of onr institutions and ideals depend upon the answer. What do you say?

Mr. Harper was one of the old timers and was a man who was outspoken in all he said and did; was an old Confederate veteran, having fought all thru the civil war. He leaves many friends in this community who will regret to hear of his death. He lacked a day or two over a month of being 82 years old. He was buried at Gum Springs Bap tist church Sunday.

Attya fel7 CHEARS SHERIFF SETTLES Commissioners Oives Ex-Sheriff Lane a Clear Receipt Within the last few weeks there has been a lot of talk by a few disgruntled ! emocrats and many Republicans that ex-Sheriff Leon T. Lane was a defaulter, some placing the amount as high at $20,000 or more. People who knew Mr. Lane knew better. These people wondered why a Democrat could rot be elected sheriff of the county and go out of office as clean as two former Republican sheriffs did. One reason why Sheriff Lane was behind in his settlement is very plain. Almost any man placed in the same position might have gut in the same predica ment. During the past ten years the sheriff has collected probably two million dollars in taxes. Every year he would make his settle ment with the county eomrris sioners, leaving out some odds and ends that his deputies had net turned in. Being too lenient with his deputies, these odd and ends accumlated, and when the auditor was called in some time ago, he went over the books and found a shortage of $18,700.02. A special meeting of the coun ty commissioners, with the aud itor and Mr. Lane, was held here Thursday of Isst week. At this meeting Sheriff Lane produced county orders a. d notes to the amount of $14,577 35, leaving a balance still due the county $4, 122.67. The sheriff gave the pnmmicsinnorc o nlnonh- fni fVi?c : sum and they gave him a clear receipt of his mdebteaess. This sum would not have been as much as it was but for the neglect of some of his deputies, it is said, and thir bondsmen are good for the amounts these dep uties failed to tarn in, if any. It is further stated that when these bondcmen settle Sheriff Lane will come out aead of the game. The sheriff, it is true, is responsible for his deputies, but his settlement last week, will stou this bosh talk about him be ing a defaulter. "A mountain has been made out of a mole hill." A Fine Appointment Our fellow-townsmen Rev. W. E. Allen, has accepted the posi tion of director for the Commun ity moving pictures and has al ready taken charge. No person could have been better selected and no one will fill the place bet ter than Mr. Allen, and the Rec ord congratulates the Commun ity service in securing him for this work.

Beal Recalls Heasant Times in Chatham County. In your issue of January 13th was a very interesting letter from Martha?' of Salisbury. N. es saying that she enjoyed my letter of recentklate on the beautifu nie or jKcpert urng. i win say that for sfny one who knew Bob Long it was an easy matter to write about such men. 1 have been tryiiie all day to think just who Martha is. 1 have no doubt butfthat she is a relative of mine, 6r at least she has a knowledge of how I used to do I was borp in a quarter of a mile of Sandy '! Pond, but my father moved td the Bear Creek mill about fhfe mil-s southeast of Sandy Pofid and ior some reason I didn't ab to that locality much and didn't go to that school. If I had that opportunity 1 could perhaps rite a more interesting letter. But there were lots ot good peope around old Pedlars Hill post Office when we moved there. Ufccle Billy Reaves held the office. When I was a small boy I would go with my brother every Thursday to get the mail. There weire other friends that every on$ knew, such as Mark Bynum, fjbb Green, Joe Thomas, Jack Goldj&ton, and Col. James F. Reaves. tSuch men everybody knew and ioved for their noble traits of folid charactei. And there was Adison and Delve and Dr. Willi Burns, D. L. and Charley Reaves. Mr. Add Burns tails a good story on me. My mother used to ha''e an earthen ! vessel that she used to keep her j cooking soda in. Mr Burns came in and saw it and asked vhat it wa. I said, a turtle, and he asked me .where we got it. I said I caught it, ar.d he asked me how I caught it. He 3ays I told him I caught it by the tail, but I was too young to rememoer tell ing him atjout it It was per fect imagelof a turtle with its tail curled nder it. Well, I am taking up too much spac e, but Mr. Long and I had in mind tAjsae just how mehlri asmTvine were born in Chatham county. We had in mind to see if there was a sum cicnt number to form a Chatham county society. But Bto. Lonyr was suddenly cahed up home be fore the plans materialized. Mr. W. M. Jones' wife is the only one here that I know was born ip Pittsboro. Her maiden name I have forgotten, hut she was of one of the noble families of the town. Well, if this escapes that big wa.-te basket, and I find out who "Martha" is, I wLl be better satisfied and may in the future give your readers some of my Georgia experience. In conclusion will say that Fri day the 13th wa ushered in here wi;h two inches of snow, the first of the season, which is verv un common for this part of the country. vVishing every one of your staff a happy New Year, I am Yours respectfully, L. K. HEAL. Asheviile, N. C, Jan. I5th. Gum Springs School Ihe 4th, 5th and 6th grades have or- cranized a society in their 100m soring term.

The friends of William H. Harper were grieved when they , heard of his death which occurred last Saturday af ternoon. Sunday afternoon his body was laid to rest in the cemetery at Gum Springs Baptist church beside his wife who preceded him several years ago. Rev. Jonas Barclay, of Pittsboro, con ducted the funeral service. His friends were shown by the large crowd present. Mr. Harper was eighty-two years old. He served in the Confederate army. He will be missed in this community. We sympathize with the family with whom he lived. ALO. MANAGEMENT OFCOW Care of The Family Cow Told in Ar tide No. 3. The care and management of the family cow plays a greater part than is usually supposed in her ability to produce a maximum flow of milk. First, the cow must be made comfortable, by furnishing her with a clean, dry and warm place in which to stay ; sh3 appreciates these things just as all other animals do and will pay for them by producing more milk than she would under the opposite conditions. The stall in which she is kept sho-ild be cleaned and bedded each day, or at least fresh bedding should be added each day, so as to enable the cow to keep clean and to keep the stable from getting wet. The stall in which the cow is Kept should be ao constructed that it will be light. The cow dres not like a dark stal' and besides, it is a good breeding place for disease germs which may injure both the cow ana the people who consume her milk. The stall should be so constructed that it will be tight for the first four feet above the floor, this prevents cold draft fiom passing over the cow's body while she is in the stall, and especially while she is lying down. Above this here should be plenty of windows to insure an abundant supply of fresh air and sunlight. During the summer moi'ths the cow should be provided with plenty of shade. She should be allowed to do her grazing during tne cool parts of the day and then allowed to igo to a cool shadv place during the hot hours of mid-day. The cow always suffers when forced to stay in the hot sun for any great lepgth of time. The cow should be in good flesh at the time of freshening and should be dry for about six weeks. These two things will enable her to start at a high level of milk production after freshening, also the dry period give3 her body a rest which ic needs. As to the cow's feed during this dry period H?-?y.Li?f0,e freshening, if aha i&. in good flesh and has plenty of good pasture, no particular attention nepd be paid to her ration, but if she must be fed entirely on dry feed, a laxative feed such as wheac bran or linseed meal should be added to the ration. If the cow freshens during the winter months she should, of course, have a wTarm box stall and for the first few days after freshening should be tea rather lightly, and her feed can then be gradually increa-ed until she is back to a fuil feed. The cow's udder may be swol len and hard for a short time be fore and after freshening, in which case it should be bathed at least three times each day, using water as hot as the hands can be kept in, after which it : should be well massaged with vaseline. The cow shou'd not be milked I quite dry the first one or two milkings after freshening, es-i Decial v if the udde is inclined 1 to be feverish and swo'len. She shou'd always be miiked regular ly twice each day as near the same hour each time as may be practical, and always milked dry oflor tho first: rmp nr twn mil If . " - frpPnincr Tt is o-nod practice to leave the calf with its mother 6 to 48 hours, and then it should be taken away and placed in a clean will lighted stall. BENNETT. The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah Macon is seriously ill. The young daughter of Bennie Brown is under the doctor's care. Mrs. Levi Cox has pneumonia but is improving. The oldest daughter of Mrs. Madge Cox is very ill. Clarence Deacon, of Pleasant Garden, visited old friends ir Bennett last week. Harold Routh and Melvin Estridge, motored to Asheboro Friday. Cecil Routh, of Randleman, spent a few days of last week with relatives here. John F. Phillips, of Bear Creek, is spending some time here taking treat ment under Dr. Denson. The high school boys of Bennett play ed a game of basketball with Coleridge last Thursday night. Although the score was not in our favor, the Bennett boys did some good playing. A Hawaiian concert was given at the school building Saturday evening. The ! proceeds went for the benefit of the school to help purchase a new piano. The Lee Literary Society is doing some splendid work. We have had some very interesting programs. TOPSY. Fifth Sunday. Services will be held at St. Bartholomew church next Sun day night at 7:30 by the pastor. CORINTH O. C. Kennedy and family and Miss Leone Luther spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Nash. Miss Emma Stevens, of Raleigh, is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sessoms at Corinth. , Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Johnson were called to Lee county last week-on ac count of the serious illness of Mrs. Johnson's mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Wads- worth. She had contracted a fatal case of pneumonia and died after being sick only a few days. She had only lately moved to L.ee county from the Truth community. Cary and Sam Gunter, of Rale i ph. spent Sunday with their parents. Mr. and Mrs. T. N. Gunter. R. L. Wilson and family have moved from the Hughes place near Corinth to Broadway. Corinth folks closed up shop last week and journeyed to Pittsboro to attend Judge Calvert's "quarterly meeting" in the court house, and as we go to print, the "meeting" has resulted in only one "convert" from our section, and that was Louis Douglass from over inthe colored folks corner. Two court proceedings in Pittsboro last week will admit of comparison. Louis Douglass, of our community, up for aiding and abetting, hired himself a good lawyer for a fee of $100 (and that is not too much) but drew a just verdict of guilty. Bob Thompson, up for selling liquor or retailing (as we have it) , was supported by the free and gratuitous services of "a few" good lawyers, and was cleared. Dozens of good people in Pittsboro, besides the aheiff and his officers, know lull well that Bob is guilty. If Louis had first won the confidence and everlasting friendship of "a few" very influential white folks, he too, no doubt, would have been- patted on the shoulder by his attorneys, almost embraced, plead ed for, and had his black guilty coun tenance completely whitewashed with a verdict of not gui.ty. SHAME! Next time, or some time soon, our items will include a little playlet enti tled the "Book Agent and the Two School Teachers." in which we will dramatize an interesting bit of com munity happenings. Last week closed the third rr.onth of our Corinth school. The attendance for the month was 40.1 out of an enroll ment for the month of 45. As last month was about the same, we think this an excellent record for winter days. In Miss Bland's room the following made perfect attendance: Ruth Wil liams, Hugh Buchanan, Zeffie Crosf, Royce Dickens, Lawrence and Herbert Cross and Leo Buchanan. In Miss John son's room the following made a per fect record for the month: Vance Lea Sexton, Edna Sexton, Eloise Mims, Woodrqw Williams, Hany Buchanan, Jay, James and Henry Cross, Joseph and Loyce Pollard, Foy, Malinda and Kermit Buchanan, Clarence and Lewis Johnson. In Miss Bland's room the following made perfect spelling records for the month; Herbert and Lawrence Cross, Zeffie Cross, Hugh Buchanan and Ruth Wi'.liams In Miss Johnson's room: Hazel Cross, Foster Champion, James, Clyde and Henry Cross, Kermit and Harry Bueh- ; anan, Jay Cross, Joseph follard, Ma linda and roy Buchanan. There is going to be "something do ing and something worth your while" at the Corinth school house next Satur day night, Jan. 28th. "lhocie Tzzidore Minstrels" areja lively oauch of enter tainers. Now if you don t come and your neighbor telis you what a treat you missed, don't give us down the country, for this copy of the Chatham Record constitutes 1000 public legal no tices for you to appear on that date. In all the recent Community Club de debate the men have invariably lost the judges decisions We men have se cietly wondered at the "why of this," but had gallantly acknowledged our inferiority as debaters. Now it transpires that, no matter whether the judges consist one man and two women or two men and one woman, the men are cajoled or coerced, and on the last occasion, even physically forced into a d ecision favorable to the women, for on last Tuesday night's debate the one man on the judge's team, voted with the two womin, but a little later on let the cat out of the bag by suddenly announcing that "you couldn't hear 'em when they did it, but they choked me till I voted with them."
