A ration was worked out for fattening. All the chickens were brought on the same day and after being weighed they were put into the crate and starved for 24 hours. Then they were fed for 14 days on a ration of corn meal, wheat middlings and buttermilk. At the end of 14 days the chickens were again starved for 24 hours and then they were kiiltd by sticking, drv-picked, plumped and packed for market. Each boy killed and dressed his own chickens.

One of the contractors is in Pitts boro now to supeririUnd the lay ing off the ground preparatory to digging the foundation for the building. Outside of the bricklayers and probably carpenters, all the oth er work will be given to people around Pittsboro, thereby keep ing a large sum of money in the county. James 0. Brown has been given the contract for haul ing all the necessary materal. As soon as th cut of the build ing: is received from Baltimore it will be printed in The Record. It will show the people of the coun ty what a nice home the aged and infirm will have when it is finished. Besides the fine outside ap pearance the inside will be finish ed in up-to-date style and there will be electric lights, steam heat and running water. In fact, it is to be modern-built, some thing that has long been needed. Let's all go to the county home to live when it is finished. Marriage Licenses What is the matter with the young people of Chatham? Dur ing the month of February onlv five marriage licenses were is sued by the register of deeds. The first two are white couples and the others are colored. They are: Thos. Hamlet and Jessie Mc Cullom. Floyd Sauls and Daisy Hearne. Zekiel Smith and Pearl Ed wards. Robt. Wilson and Dilly Farrow.

MEET IX RALEIGH Politicians to Gather in State Capital Next Week The state executive committees of both Democratic and Repub lican parties have been called to meet in Raleigh next week to consider the time and place for calling the biennial sessions or their respective state conven tions. The Repuolicans will meet at the Bland on Wednesday, March 8, and the Democratic leaders will meet in the hail of the house of representatives on Thursday, March 9. Raleigh wi;l likely be chosen as the place o; meeting for both the Democratic and Republican state conventions. Raleigh has for years been the meeting place for the Democratic hosts, and the Republicans have lost some ot rheir fear of gathering in the state capital. The conventions are expected to convene there in April, the Democratic conclave likely being deferred until toward the end of the month. Neither of the committee meet ings is likely to develop anything more than the perfunctory cali for the convention which will as semble later to shape party poli cies for the campaign that is loom ing up for late spiing and early summer. Each will name sub committees for the drafting of platforms for the coming off-year election, to be presented for adop tion when the conventions as semble. Interest in the coming assem blage ot the Democratic state convention centers in the sugges tion that it declare for the nom ination of the one state officer who comes up for election this year by convention instead of by the primary method. Thus far no opposition has developed for W. T. Lee, chairman of the state corporation commission, who will be a candidate to succeed himself. t 4 The Old Oaken Bucket. This play will be given at Truth school house Saturday evening, March 4, beginning at 8 o'clock. Be sure to come and brine: your friends. Admission 15 and 25 cents. MYRL HERRING, Principal. RUBY DEWAR, Assistant. Turner Patterson Killed. While cutting down some tim ber near his home last Friday morning just west of Mt. Vernon Springs, Turner Patterson was struck by a small tree which re sulted in his death at six o'clock that afternoon. Turner was the adopted son of Mr. and Mrs. John Brewer, with whom he had lived since a mere lad with the exception of several years spent in the army. About ten years ago he mairied a lady in Cincinnati, Ohio, who with five small children, and his foster parents, are left to mourn his untimely passing. The funeral service was held Saturday afternoon, being conducted by Rev. Richard Fountain, and inter ment made at the Presbyterian cemetery. Death of L. S. Baldwin L. S. Baldwin, one of Chat ham's most beloved citizens, died suddenly at his home near Lambs ville, in Baldwin township, last Saturday afternoon, aged about 60 years. About six months ago xMr. Bald win received a slight stroke of paralysis, but since then has been able to do his work on the farm. Last Saturday he suffered a stroke of appoolexy and fell forward into fire. He was dead when res cued. Funeral services were held from Mt. Pleasant church Mon day, although he had been a mem ber of Brown's Chapel church for several years. Mr. Baldwin was well known in this section ar d was a Chris tian gentleman. He will be miss ed by his many friends who will regret to learn of his sudden tak ing off. Death of Mrs. Clark Mrs. John E. Clark, aged about 38 years, died at her heme in Hickory Mt. township, early last Friday morning, of pneumonia. She had been sick about a week and her deith was unexpected. She leaves a husband and four children, besides many friends and relatives, to mourn over her sad demise. The funeral services were held at Emmaus' church Saturday and was buried in thp cemetery there. DIFFERENCE Correspondent Wants to Know Why Some are Not Com icted. Mr. Editor; I am a lawful reader to your paper and I read it through every week, and have for some time been trying to learn why some people can violate the laws and they be punished to the fullest extent of the law. This I do ret criticise nor have a slight word to say about it, but I do think it is a shame for our white people to serve sentences on county roads, on the account of a little whiskey, and a negro can have between 3 quarts and a full gal lot of whisKey, a tried in the .ourts of our county and come clear as one of ijhe White Soul negroes did some time ago. It is a curious thing to happen I think it is a shame to try the cases of white people under the new laws and try negrces under laws that do noc comply with the Prohibition laws. The only thing I can make out of this is going back under the grandfather clause. I heard that the lawyers plead ed free for the negro. More than that I also heard that his leading lawyer hugged the old negro and said that outside of his own relatives, he loved him better than anybody around Putsboro. This is enough for me. Good bye. J, C. Durham, "Pittsboro, Rt3 Bear Creek News. Messrs J. H. tyatkins, C. V Moore, J. L. Straughan, J. W. Griswold, and T. H. Rives went last week on a fox hunt down South. J. V. Beaver, "after spending some time at home recovering from an attack of "flu," has returned to his work in Greensboro. Rev. W. A. Crabtree, after vis iting on the route, has gone to Kannapolis, N. C. The people of tle G. W. Burke section have taken upon therr. selves to build a good road from near W. P. Dark's to connect with the good road near H. G. Dunn's. They are to be highly commended (or this undertaking, which speaks well for that community. When people take upon themselves a task to build two miles of good road, jou may say, without hesi tation, that is a progressive neigh borhood. J. L. Straughan has been spend ing a few days with his father. Miss Mary George Blair has improved greatly, we are glad to state. Miss Portia Fields, of Greens boro, is visiting her mother, Mrs. O. D. Wicker, of route2'. G. T. Hart has been confined to his room with cold recently. Mr. and Mrs. N. W. Hilliard, of Sanford, spent Sunday in the home of Mrs. Hilliard's parents Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Coggins, on route 2. PHIL. Lent Wednesday marked the begin ning of the lenten seas n, which marks the forty-day penod pre ceding Easter. Many religious bodies observe this sacred time honored season with varying de grees of devotion. Modified in dulgence of ear thl pleasures and more frequent attendance on spe cially appointed church services mark the observance of lent. Here in Pittsboro special sched ules of services in the Episcopal church is announced. The first day of lent is called Ash Wednesday and the week before Easter Holy Week. The more important day in Holy Week, like Palm Sunday ana Gcod Fridav, will have observ ances of special and impressive significance, Palm Sunday falls on April 9th, Gtod Friday April 14th, ai.d Easter Sunday April 16th. Bound Over to Court Lumis Johnson, the negro whe cut Guy McCJain at a negro frol ic in Hickory Mt. to nship two or three weeks ago, had a pre liminary trial before J. R. Blair last week and was sent to jail without bail. Four state wit nesses in the case were bound ovtr to the Mareh term of court in the sum of $100 each. They gave bail. It will be remembered that at this frolic Johnson cut McClain so severely that he was taken to a hospital at Raleigh where he died. Watch your label. EX-SERVICE MEN What a Brickhaven Correspondent Says About Them ' Mr. and Mrs. 0. C. Kennedy and little Ruth Kennedy, accom panied by Misses Leone Luther and Kate Marks, attended the concert by Mmfe Frieda Hempel at Raleigh Wednesday evening. It seems vthat the B-H. boys may yet realize the dream of a Boy Scout organization. M. Al len came by the school Tuesday afternoon for a list of the rames of these wishing to become mem bers, and announced that he would make further plans for or ganizing a patrol next Tuesday evening. The play, entitled "The Sweet Family," which was presented at the school Saturday evening by the 7th grade pupils of the Moncurs school, was mfuch en joyed. J. C. Seawell spent the week end in Raleigh. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Thompson and children spent the week-end with relatives near Bxoadway. Miss Leone Luther spent the week-end with her parents at Bonsai. C. W. Hanks, of Pittsboro. is spending a few days with friends here. Mr. Hanks is a general favorite and his coming is always hailed with delight by both old and young. Misses Kate Marks, Nell Yar boro and Avery Marks, A. B. Wicker and Clinton Seawell were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy lat Thursday evening. Albert Mims, of Yemasee. S, C, Cliff Mime, of Raleigh, Mrs. Hannon, of Pinehurst, were call ed here last week on account of the serious illness of their moth er, Mrs. E. C. Mims. Friends and relatives here of Mrs. A. R. Lawrence, who un derwent a painful operation last week, are very glad to know that she is getting on nicely. Mrs. Lawrence has been in Ra eigh for treatment since No vember and since that time has had several operations, but it is thought that she will return home within four weeks com pletely cured. Edward Sea groves, of Holly Springs, is spending a few days with Harold Mims. Little James Marks and Joe Over by were unable to attend school last week. We shall be glad to have them well and in scnool again. SQuite a number of favorable comments have been made con cerning our proposed county tick et. It has been suggested too, that perhaps some of our county officts could be we'.l filled by our ex-soldiers. Some if Chatham's best manhood was represented on the battlefields in the world war. Is thac manhood needed less or appreciated less now that the war is over? It seems that it would be a fitting tribute to our ex-serve men to put them in office and let them continue in the service of the country for which they risked all, for the same characteristics and princi ples that make the soldier are needed to make the citizen.

In a personal letter to Colin G. Shaw, the present editor, our good friend, Phillips, has the fol lowing paragraph, which we ap preciate very highly: "The departure of our friend, "The Grit" is regretted most keenly by the writer, as it had become dear to him from the years of association as a member of "The Grit family," also the drowsy boy gives up the former Editor with a feeling of sadness, which is tempered somewhat by the knowledge that Mr. Elkins is to remain with us and even to be found at "his old stand." It is intensely gratifying, after noting the continued improvement of the Record from week to week under present management, to know that both of our papers are to have the editorial guidance of an accomplished and exper ienced "journalist, and we shall look with confidence to the con tinuation of the great strides that these worthy papers are making under your able man agement. "Cordially and fraternally yours, Grover C. Phillips." Bear Creek, N. C, Feb. 20. Frosty Baseball Misse3 Nell and Frizelle, play ed the little chaps against their paps, and made the old men aw ful sore, because the little fel lows beat them in the score. Robert Morgan and Jimmie, too, tried to do like little boys do, but long before they made their round, both of them had fallen down and rolled over in the dust; 1 thought those little bovs would bust. Carl Strowd to the bat, and up went all their hats; with a leud and noisy shout they all cried, "He'll strikeout." Now, Matthew, give that ball a twist, and watch him, he'll be sure to miss. There now, I told you so one, two, three and out you go. Then they hollowed o'er and o'er, you could have heara them a mile or more. Marvin Atwater knocked a ball high in the air; when it came down Grady Snipes was right there, and in his hand it did surely land, just in time to throw it to third, and knock out another bird. Gra cious me, what a shout you couldn't hear the umpire say, "It's out." No one could tell what a yell they nade, when Kemp Hackney rn to meet that ball and it went between his feet. He whirled round, then fell down on the ground, and you could have heard those girl. tor milea around. It was a loud and tre mendous roar; they hollowed and hollowed 'till their throats were sore. I tell you it was good all the way through. I could tell you more but you can bet I have something better richer yet about Miss 1 "Zeke, go get some kindling and put on the fire, said Mrs. Scroggins. "Ail right, I wi!l," says I, "but let me finish. "Go right this minute,' savs she. Well, I must go for she says so. ZEKE SCROGGINS. P. S. Mr. Editor, wasn't that a fine snow we had a few days ago. I wanted to can all of it and put it away for summer, but Mrs. Scoggins wouldn't let me. Z. S. Still Gettin' Stills "It's no use to try to make liquor any more," is the way the moonshiners in Chatham are now talking, And it does look that way. From what the officers say, the cutti r,g out the $50 bonus is not going to stop them frorr. break ing up the business of the moon- j shiner; that they are determined more zo now than ever to put them out ol ousiness in thi.s coun- ty at any rate, bonus or no bo nus. Monday a 100 gallon complete copper still was brought here from Williams township which was captured by C. L. Lasater, J. L.Lasater and K. H. Mills. Besides getting the still 2,000 gallons of beer was poured out and other stuff around the plant was destroyed. This still was captured Satur day about 1 1-2 miles west of Fearrington and 2 1-2 miles of Merritt Chapel church. About 400 pounds of sugar was found at the still This was brought to Pittsboro and delivered to Sheriff Blair. The stiil was in full blast at the time but the operators escaped. ABOUT OUR TICKET.
