Good deal of lumber and crossties coming in and being dispatched. People seem to have forgotten and laid aside the once high prices and high wages and gone to work. Bennett Motor Co. recently re ceived a car of Ford cars and is disposing of them very rapidly. G M. Phillips recently sold his sto:k of merchandise to W. S. Gardner. Mr. Phillips intends to deal mostly in produce. The former editor and wife of the Siler City Grit, Mr. and Mrs. Elkins, were in town a few days ago. and Mr. Elkins stated that Bennett was the tradingest town to its size he knew of. The school students celebrated Washington's Birthday at the graded school building the 22nd at night. A good size crowd at tended. The program for the parts that was tendered to the honor of our great leader was in teresting. Young Mr. Bray is studying for the Baptist ministry and has the impression to make good. Surely the people who are closely relattd to him and others who have min gled with him feel proud over the great step he has taken, and that we should ffefp press him along to the good work. The writer, who was his superintendent when he attended Sunday school when as little boy here at Bennett, felt that some high calling was for him; his mind seemed to be centered upon the interest of the divine work, and I feel good for what, even iktle, 1 did for the young man. SI ON. Bethel News. C. D. Moore and W. A. Cope land has gone to Raleigh to at tend tfi8 revival services con ducted by Rev. Truett. Services were conducted at Pleasant Hill Sunday at 11 a.m. by Rev.

CASH PAID FOR COUNTRY PRODUCE Chatham Hardware Company On The Square Pittsboro, N. C. Politics and Expenses J am just back from Wayne, Johnston and Lee counties and find, the political pot is beginning to boil, and 'I also see a few names in Chatham mentioned for the various offices. Let me say, in the hrst place, don't get too many of them in the towns un less they have been overseas vet erans. I also see our present board of commissioners are retting to be powerful extravagant. I also see they allowed a firm in Char lotte $3, 000 to audit Sheriff Lane's account. I have four boys who would have been glad of the job for $300. And would have fixed it up rierht. The same com missioners gave $1100 to list the property in Chatham when men offered to take it for $400. Now men, we are running in too high a erear. We have paid out taxes easy for 8 years but it will be harder for next three. Let us go hence to sow seed for a better day and lay by in store against the day of misfortune and so provide and hope for bet ter things, for a rainy day will come and who will be able to stand. S.

The Pullman conductor on being asked about the difference . of fifty cents in price between j the upper and the lower berth, ! explained, according to a news paper clipping: ''The lower is j higher than the upper. The higher price is for the lower. If you want it lower, you'll have toj go higher. We sell the upper ; lower than the lower. Most peo-1 pie don't like the upper, although it is lower, on account of its be ing higher. When you occupy an upper you have to get up to go to bed and get down to get up," Doing Good. Bless'd be those feasts with sim- plenty crown 'd. Where all the ruddy family around. Laugh at the jests or pranks that never fail Or sigh with pity at some mourn ful tale. Or press the bashful stranger to his food. And learn the luxury of doing good. CO.

THIS STORE CATERS TO YOUR REQUIREMENTS What Do You Want ? How Much Do You Want To Pay For It ? These are two questions we keep in mind when we buy in the wholesale markets, and our purchases are guided by the knowledge we have of the people we serve. We have wha you want at the price you want to pay. For goods at the right price, see L. N. WOMBLE PITTSBORO, N. G. Wise-Otherwise Stolen Paragraphs Localized by the Editor to Tease His Friends When a person claims relation ship with so-and-so, then the lat ter can be marked down as being rich. V' Every now and then someone will attempt to discredit ar other. Bear in mind that you cannot figure just how far a frog can jump from where he is sitting. A great many people are be hind the times because they can not forget the old gin shop that served hiccoughs. Tax payers are beginning to be regular citizens now. March 15 last day to pay in come tax. Beware the ides of March. Not knowing where you are going is no excuse for not being on your way. N Tile hardest thing in the word to doisTr-act careless when you want to borrow money from the bank. Did you ever notice that the only folks that get a free ticket to anything are those who do not need it. Some public offices are fof pri vate purposes. Lost your pocket book? Call the income tax collector; he can find money anywhere. Some of the fish caught last summer are now six feet long. Some folks are noisy when they eat, others are noisy when they don't. The man who tells all he knows doesn't always know much. Slobber Slop. Isn't it funny what some peo ple will put up with when they come to drink anything in the way of whiskey. Half a dozen will slobber over the same bottle when they wouldn't think of drinking out of the same glass at table. They require what they eat to be clean and sanitary. But I it is well authenticated that sta ble manure is often used in the manufacture of moonshine likker Only last year two Monroe offi cers found half bushel measure in the bottom of a barrel of beer at a still. At another place they discovered the distillers had rob bed a hen roost of its droppings. Unnice, did you say, to mention it? My dear reader, it's not half as nasty to mention it as is the stuff lots of Union county folks are pouring down their throats nowadays. There seems to be no more "good" whiskey. Mon roe enquirer.

Ray, Attorney. apl5 ON THE GORNER NEW COTTON MILL. Company Organized in Siler City Week. Last Leading citizens of Siler City have formed a stock company with Mr. L..F. Hilton, of Magno lia, Miss., to erect a $200,000 cotton mill in Siler City within the next few weeks. The location has not been de cided upon, but several sites are in view and the most desirable will be selected for the mill. The mill will be modern in every particular and designed to appeal to the better class o f workers and retain regular, com petent employees. Mr. L F. Hilton, of Magnolia, Mississippi, who by the way is an old North Carolina man, came here through the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce to look the town and people over and decide, after a full investigation, whether this is a good field in which to in vest a large amount of capital. He came with an open mind, for be had several other propositions from towns much larger than Siler City, to be guided by the treat ment and encouragement he may receive before arriving at a definite decision. After consultation with the Sec retary of the Chamber of Com merce and other men of the town that were interested in this char acter of development a meeting was held in the Chamber of Com merce rooms last Friday night when most of the business men of the little city gave their full endorse ment of the plan laid out by Mr. Hilton. Mr. Hi'ton stated that it was his aspiration to eventually have a $500,000.00 mill but at the present time advocated the ex penditure of about half that amount on an up-to-date mill, mill village, grounds, and to have the most modern machinery, ap pliances, working conditions, ex ce lent living conditions for his employe es, and other things that go to m ke mill life equal to the best. This we understand would include playground equipment for the. chudrn, water and sewerage! for the homes, bathing pools and j medical attention to the employees It is figured that this amount will erect and equip a mill of 10, 000 to 15 000 spindles and the necessary number of looms or weaving machines at the present time and as necessity arises the capacity will be increased to at least 25,000 spindles and other equipment. In other words this is only the beginning of a mam moth milling institution. Mr. Hi'tcn having to go away Saturday morning naturally want ed to know if the people were wil ling to raise the necessary amount to meet his and quick work had to badone, therefore our enter prising men with the. aid of the Chamber of Commerce got bu9y next morning and had subscribed (with what Mr. Hilton agreed to put in) $200,000.00. We under- stand that about $50,000 00 more is to be raised for emergency pur poses and there is little question but what that will be or is raised by the time we go to press. It is figured that building oper ations will commence within the next 60 days and be completed and in operation within a few months. If the Chamber of Commerce is able to get in touch with and in terest men of means of the town and surrounding country to the extent of hundreds of thousands of dollars it goes without saying that it should be liberally supported that more enterprises can be in terested and commence oprratons here. Mr. Hilton is a thoroughly ex perienced mill man and comes to Siler City well recommended He and tha editor of this paper have had considerable correspon. dence during the past several months and we know he is a man of splendid intelligence and LONESOME?

Mrs. FLORENCE BELLAIRE 200 Montague St,. m24c Brooklyn,. N Y. Death of Mrs. Gilmore Mrs. Sue Gilmore, wife of T. H, Gilmore, died at the home of her son, Walter Gilmore. near Moncure, Februry 23rd, of hart dropsy. She was born in Chat ham county in 1852, being 69 vears and 7 months of age. While her suffering was great she bore them well until the end. She was laid to rest at Asbury the next day, D. A. Mann con ducting the funeral services. She is survived by her husband and six children W. L., C. W. and Walter, of Moncure, route 1 ; D. C. Gilmore, Dunn; E. R. Gil more, Clinton, and Mrs. Mary E. Pate, Fayetteville. Four pre ceded her to the grave. While it is sad for our loved ones to part and leave us, yet it is God's will, for all flesh is grass and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass with ereth and the flower thereof fall eth awav. but the word of Hod endureth forever. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. A. S. FOUSHEE. For the Senate and House Mr. Editor: Since A. C. Ray refuses to run for solicitor and he has been placed on.the ticket as representative in the legisla ture, I feei that he will fill the place well, and Victor Johnson for senator. I know cf no young or old man that has trade a deeper impression on me, with the ac quaintance I have had with Mr. Ray. As a lawyer, I believe him to be too godly to stoop to or be little himself tc fight the rights of men or law for money. Jas. L. Griffin is as fine a clerk as we ever had, but if he has Christianity enough to humble himself let him come down for a cripple man and as good and as noble a christian as ever walked in old Chatham I say let us unanimously elect C. C. Hamlet, it' he will accept. I am sure no men could fill the place of our good sheriff and: reg istrer of deeds better than the present incumbents. Hadley township has never, in my memory, had a part as com missioner, and with the good people of Hadley we would sug gest the name of Zeb JL.. Dark be voted for in the next primary. He is a young man of good busi ness qualifications and of Chris tian character, and will make a fine commissioner. HENRY F. DURHAM. Roscoe, N. C. n ii Another Cotton Mill. Our neighbor town, Goldston, is preparing to erect a cotton mill at a early date, using the power that will be developed at Tyson's Mill, told about in this paper last week. All the stock has not been subscribed for the mill, but it is understood that it is almost a certainty, and we congratulate that town upon its acquisition. Play At Bonlee. Bonlee High School will present 1 a play "Captain Racket," in the ' school auditorium Saturday even- ! ing, March 11th, at eight o'clock. Admission 15 and 25 cents. Pro ceeds for the benefit of the school. will add to the life and develop ment of Siler City. It is useless to comment upon the advantages of this new in dustry in this city as all will readily understand that it meas ures growth and development that Siler City is bound to en dure. Confidence and Respect THE FARMERS' BANK Pittsboro, N. C. S. S. Association. Detail arrangements for the annual convention of the North Carolina Sunday School Assoc, i ation which assembles in Char lotte, April 11-12-13, are w-11 under way, according to cqm muuication received from D.

Commissioner of Revenue Watts says that the law permits him to grant extensions of tin.e to taxpayers for filing income tax returns from March 15th in cases of sickness, absence, or other disability, or whenever in his judgment good cause exists for such extension. The law re quires interest at the rate of six per cent per annum from March to the time of payment to be paid where extensions are granted. Extensions will be granted upon application where lawful cause is shown, but in all cases the in terest required by law will be collected. J. P. COULTER CO.
