THE FORDSON DROPS.
Takes a Tumble of Over Two Hundred
Dollars in a Day.
The Fordson tractor has been
reduced to the minimum price of
$395 f. o. b. Detroit, Michigan.
This is the lowest this tractor has
eve sold for and will have a ten
dency to revolutionize the farming
industry in the United States.
The Fordson has heretofore
sold for $625 in Detroit and only
the large land owners and farmers
could well afford to utilize one.
Now, however, the price is just a
little above that of a good mule
and almost any farmer can have
one.
Taking into consideration that
this piece of machinery can be
used for so many purposes on the
farm, that of churning, pumping
n-ofpr hauling and sawin? wood.
fi - - o O ;
baling hay, plowing the ground,
and in tact, almost everytning.no
farmer should be without a Ford
son. Mrs. Bettie Hamlet Dead

A Good Thing
When the Chatham Hardware
Company established a cash pro
duce market here on January 1st,
it was indefinite as to the results.
Alter month's business, how
ever, it has proven to be a good
thing in every respect. The mar
ket affords a splendid opportun
ity to the farmeis and others to
get a gotid cash market value for
their products.
These folks have taken in more
than thirty dozen eggs in a single
day and have kept the pace with
other markets in the state. It is
a good thing for Pittsboro

The Prohibition Status.
Dear Editor:
In the past "six months I have
questioned over one hundred for
mer whiskev d rinkino mpn onrl
almost all of them expiessed their
iw m in me good prohibition has
done them, and is sure to continue
to do for others. They now have
more money with which to cate
for their families, as well as them
selves, and they have better health
and life is the more worth livina
than ever before with them and
theirs. And the wilfullv blind ran
see even amongst their neighbors
the big decrease in crime from
drink.
And what is true around me at
this writing is true a'l over the
United States. The
indisputably prove it everywhere
in rural sections, in towns and
cities,
In the first year of national
prohibition arrests for drunken
ness in San Francisco decreased
from 17,354 to 11,814. And that
is the land of the Fatty Arbuck
les and the training camp for mov
ing drinks in scant attire. A little
higher up socially and morally
speaking at Los Angeles, arrests
in same period for intoxication de
creased from 15,830 to 2,589. And
in Boston, Mass., for the same
time, drunk arrests decreased from
52,682 to 16,487. These are court
records. "Crime in Chicago,"
says the Christian Century, "has
decreased from year to year," un
der prohibition. Regarding the
Washingtonian Home for drunk
ards, in Chicago, Which for the
year 1921 only treated two cases
of delirium tremens, the - Chicago
Tribune says: "This institution
with a long and honorable record
of service as an institution for the
cure of drunkards now debates
whether to close its doors or
whether it shall go into an entirely
different field, that of caring for
mental cases quite apart from the
question of alcoholism." ,
We are moving up! Why, New
Jersey recently voted on prohibi
tion, and is for it! We are com
ing! In the November, 1921,
McCall's Magazine, the two fam
ous women writers, Kathleen Nor
ris and Gertrude Atherton, debat
ed: "Are we right about prohibi
tion,'' and in the February Mc
Call's is a reply to Gertrude's at
tack on temperance by Mr. Wes
ley, Taylor, Lenoir, N. C, that
every voter in the union should
read. Recently the Journal -of
the American Medical Association
got the opinion of over 31,000
practicing physicians on whiskey,
wine and beer as medicines, with
this result: 49 per cent totally
condemn whiskey, 68 per cent say
wine is worthless, and 72 per cent
declare that beer is of no benefit
at all to the human system.
In Ohio nearly fifty years ago I
heard the great John B. Gough
say: "You can no more drink
and not be a diunkard than you
can sjhoot off a pistol a little at a
time. It it takes ten drinks to
make you drunk, when you have
taken one drink you are one-tenth
drunk. If God had intended you
should make a slop bucket of your
stomach He would have put a
bottom in it."

Push On
Dear editor and readers, will
vou please allow me space to say
that even though I make many
mistakes, it is the desire of my
heart to help somebody, and if
you will pardon me, I will say
that maybe it v. ill help someone.
For years God saw fit to allow
me to have money enough in the
beginning (not ending) of the
year to pay my part of our pas
tor's salary. Since that time I
have contrived to do so and have
done o, even at a sacrifice, that
the ones who gives his life for
God may not have to wait. Even
as a cripple, as most of you know,
I am willing now, in the new as
sessment, to pay my part with
the rest of the young men, who
are active and strong. And I
will, in spite of my suffering, do
all I can, not only to pay the
preacher, but to anybody who
need words of sympathy and
kindness in time of trouble and
affliction, according to my ability
and knowledge.
Now, as our representative has
seen fit to repeal the law of $50
being paid to those who were
willing to give their time and .en
ergy and run the risk of their
lives in hunting and trying to de
stroy the cursed things which de
stroy the happiness and lives of
so many, let us, as men and wo
men, boys and girls, be not dis
couraged, but let everybody put
their shoulders to the whed and
help our editor, pastors, sheriff
and deputies, carry the burden
of our good old county by seeing
to it that nothing will be allowed
on God's earth around where we
call our homes, or places of bus
iness, any intoxicating drinks or
any games of a gambling tenden
cy, and in any way help prevent
sin and keep in God's way.
See to it next election that we
elect a man to help make such
laws (and not repeal) as will help
build up our county and God's
cause and not to satisfy the ap
petites and lusts of man or wo
man. Then we will soon have
more money and people for God's
cause in our homes, churches and
schools and the building and up
keep of roads and not have to
pay out so much in our courts, or
be afraid to risk our lives. The
children of the coming genera
tion can do more good for Him
who made and created the world
and His being. I may not do it
every time or make the impress
ion on any, but I feel I know my
heart, and try to pray daily that
I and my family may seek after
God and His righteousness first
in all things. Pray for me and
let's be awake and doing.
Pardon me, please, but some of
the happiest times oi my life has
been when I knew 1 had done
something to help some one, or
when on my bed of affliction, or
between the plow handles all
alone, or in the factory thinking
of God's goodness to me and so
little had I done for Him.
Often haye I been made to cry
aloud while tears rolled down my
cheeks. Guess some would have
said I was crazy if they had seen
me. HENRY F. DURHAM,
Roscoe, N. C.

Get 'Em All
A significant statement made
by Judge Calvert at the January
term of court, in his charge to
the grand jury, was to the effect
that nearly everywhere he held
court that principally young men
came before him charged with
violation of the liquor laws, but
that in Chatham there appeared
to be a multiDiicity of older men
charged with these crimes.
Well, it's true, to be sure, but
down here in Chatham we began
on the younger set and inasmuch
as the old men would not take
warning and rub out and retrieve,
the sheriff's forces are compelled
to garner them in and sooner or
later the officers ot Chatham
county will get them all.

By-Gone Days.
Oh how I long for the by-gone
days, with by-gone notions and
by-gone ways. When we could
stay at the tavern all day, with
no children in school and no taxes
to pay. When our women with
their waists laced tight, and their
pretty little ankles hid from sight.
With a gore of four in their gowns
and a trail behind to drag the
ground. With home raised cotton
and home raised wheat, with home
raised corn and home made meat.
With home knit stockings and
home made shoes, and an old fash
ioned row from home made booze.
AH we had to do when we want
ed to start was to put the yoke on
Buck and Ben and hitch them to
the cart. There was no tires to
pump, no cranking to do. When
we wanted to raise our sails, just
reach over and twist their tails.
With the wheels in the mud up to
the hub andjood corn l:.quor in
the jug. It might have been slow
but we would surely go. We
didn't care when we got there for
we had plenty of time to spare.
O'i carry me back not so very
long ago to the time and year
when Leon Lane was a champion,
prize winning steer of the Chatham
fat stock show. He was a Cham
pion, sure as you are born, with
the blue ribbon tied on his horns.
With a goodly Will and a proudly
air, I was one of the judges to tie
it there. Now if it were to do
over again 1 would tie a dog tag
around his neck. I hear the hens
cakling, I had better go find the
nest.

How to Save
A farmer, who is 61 years old,
and living on route 2, in a letter
to this paper, tells the farmer
how he saved and how they can
save on the farm. He says that
when he was a young man, be
fore he was 21, he owned a
young mule. He bought a yard
of Nord homespun and made a
backhand out of it This band
lasted until the mule was 28 years
years old. He traded for a horse
and bought a leather backhand
and he is usiner the same band
today that he bought many yearsfwhepe is-youo wife?!
ago.
One reason why farmers and
others do not have more is be
cause they do not try to save the
little things.

Old Uncle George Wins a Two Hun
dred and Fifty Pound Bride
. RAMBLER
An old darkey, who appeared
to be about 70 years of age, came
hobbiing down Broadway, Pittar
borD's Mg business street, and as
ne went to get out of the way
of the immense thn ng of people
who were passing up and down
the street he ran into Col. Mont
Bland, who was standing in front
of the Farmer' Bank.
'Excuse me, boss. Dis old
nigger can't see very good and
good Lord, bless me. If it
ain't Marse Mont Bland, " and the
old negro seemed to be carried
into an ecstacy of joy.
'WMl George." said Mr.
Bland, where in the world did
you come from? I thought you
had been dead fifty years."
It is supposed old George and
Col. Bland were young men to
gether, only George was a little
the oldest. This did not make
much difference, as the two grew
to manhood together, and were
almost like two brothers.
"Ise been livin' way down in
Alabam all dese years and I jes
coine up here to see if I could
find any of myold boyhood friends
and a wife. Dem old Alabam'
nigger women ain't no good.
Marse Mont, you shoah do look
good. How's you been gittin'
erlong all dese years?" asked the
now excited old darkey.
"I have been doing very well,
George. I married and have
raised a bie familv of health v
children. I own some land and
a good home, have made a
lot of money and am president of
a bank here."
"Dat's it. I know'd you have
good luck all through life. I
know'd you'd be a Dreeident
some of dese davs." exclaimprl
the old darkey.
"Besides that. I am in other
business. I farm; write insu
rance; am a money lender; a fox
buntei "
Good Lord, Marse Mont
you shoah 'nuff."
Is
"And I write checks and deeds
and sometimes write poetry. But
wwpe is-yourj mta?" Mr
oiana.
"I ain't got no wife. You
know dat yaller nigger woman
I married before I lef here. Well,
she run away with anuther nig
ger. Den I married a little
chunky, bow legged nigger, what
didn't have no sense, and she
died. Den I married a big tall
nigger dat wouldn't wash white
fokes' clothes and I lef her. An'
inw I am gwineter try to marry
a big black nigger who weighs
250 pounds, but she's got a good
home out here in the country and
uhe's smart. Her name is Milly
Jv nes. Marse Mont, you said
you writ poatry. .Won't you writ
me soiue. She'll think I writ it
and she'll be proud of me," stud
the darkey.
Mr. Bland told him he would
and for him to come around next
day.
Next day George appeared and
Mr. Bland took him into his office
and read him this:
Milly Jones is smart and spry,
She also is quite thrifty,
She moves about with lightning
step
Although she weighs 250.
"Marse Mont, dat might make
her mad," said George.
"Well, how will this do?"
Milly Jones is a sight to see
When in a wash tub Monday,
But she's the sweetest thing on
earth
When she's dressed up Sunday.
"Dat's all right." You got any
mo ," asked the now excited
darkey.
Her teeth are like the pearly gates
Her eyes are wide and blue
And I certainly do love her
And I know she loves me too.
And Milly is a hard worker
And steady as a hick'ry tree,
And that'3 one reason I want her
And I hope to the Lord she
wants me.
"Dat's what I want, and I'm
gwine to carry it to her and tole
her I writ it and den I know she'll
hab me. Excuse me, Marse Mont.
I'll see you agin," and the happy
old darkey left
A few days later George came
to town. He was happy. He
had won his bride.
