PITTSBORO, N.C., CHATHAM CO., FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1922 VOL. XLIY NO. 37 Chatham nm TALE OF 3 DEPUTIES They Found Still, the Worm, the Cap But No Blockader With apologies to the author of the Little Rea Hen. Once upon a time three deputy sheriffs went out into the woods to see what they could find. They walked about naif a mile and came upon signs of a recent run an improvised turnace, ashes still warm, and a batdi of fresh slops but not m all that land could they see the outfit. Knowing in their minds that it must be near, they reasoned among themselves as to who should go out and find the kettle. The tat slim deputy said, "I won't." The short, chunky dep uty said, "I won't." The big deputy said, I will then," and he did. He ran thru the woods, scratched up the leaves, looked under the brush piles until he found the kettle. Then they reasoned among themselves as to who should find the cap. Slim said, "I won't." The big deputy said, "I got the kettle so I won't." But Shorty said, "I will then," and he did. He ran thru the woods, scratched up the leaves, looked undr the brush piles until he found the cap. Again they reasoned among themselves as to who should find the W'rm. The big deputy said, "Not I. I got the kettle." Shorty said, "Not L I got the cap." But Slim said, "I will then." And he did. He then ran thru the bushes, scratched up the leaves, looked under the brush piles until he found the worm. Then these three deputies jour neyea to the tjity where the high chief of all the deputies reigns to lay at his feet the spoils of the conquest and receive their re ward. The High Chief there upon asked, "Which one of my valiant men captured this out fit7" Th big deputy said, "I did," and displayed the kettle. Slim said, "I did," and displayed the cap. Shorty said, "I did," and displayed the worm. The High Chief then asked "Who destroyea the liquor?" and they all with one accord an swered, "I did." Then the High Chief asked, "Who captured the blockader?" For a time no word was spoken, then Slim, Shorty and the big deputy all spoke with one voice, "We ran thru the woods, we scratched up the leaves, we look ed under the brush piles, but no blockader could we find in all that land." Then the High Chief said, "My valiant men, you have done good work, but you must do better. Catch the blockader!" The big deputy said, 'Alo, Chier! Next time I shall first catch the blockader then find the kettle." Shorty said, "Alo, Chief! Next time I shall first catch the block ader and then find the cap." Slim said, "Alo, Chief! NText time I shall first catch the block ader and then find the worm." And the High Chief locked ud the still, the cap and worm in his vault to await the judgment d?y and charged his valiant deputies to let no grass grow under their feet as long as the woods were full of blockaders. X.Y.Z. They took the High Chief at his word and went out Tuesday morning and brought in two white men, besides the still, cap and worm. Ed.

S MEET Delegates Elected to the State Con vention at Raleigh Last Saturday the Democrats of Chatham met at the court house in Pittsboro for the pur pose of selecting delegates to the State Democratic convention, which meets in Raleigh, Thurs day, April 20th. There were quite a number in attendance. The following del egates were chosen: p J. W. Griffin, S. D. Gilmore, J. R. Milliken, R. M, Connell, A. D. Farrell, C. T. Desern. Wade Barber, A. G. Thomas, J. M. Gar ner, W. E. Brooks, C. H. Lut terloh, J. T Wright, John R. Blair, J. W. Thrift, W. L. John son, J. B. Harris, Will F. Bland (Hanks Chapel). Too Bad It seems to us that when a man wants to work and make money for himself that he should be en couraged in his efforts. Here were two men, eager to work. eager to make money, eager to hem their fellowmen forget all their troubles and make more, are ruthlessly pounced upon by the officers of the law and their hard facor and dreams of wealth are nipped in the bud. Deputy Sheriff C.T.Desern and posse slipped out into the sticks about a mile northwest of town Tuesday morning and broke up two men's workshop and ar rested them. They also brought along an 80 gallon galvanized still, copper cap and worm and destroyed a lot of beer, probably 500 gallons. It is said 14 bushels of meal were used in ir aking the beer. These two 'shiners had never made a "run" and had just began to boil the water in the kettle preparatory to getting down to good (?) honest labor. Mr. Shiner, it s too Dad. An Opportunity Next week Stroud & Hubbard, the largest sho1 dealers in Lee, Harnett or Chatham counties, located in Sanford. will have an expert from Dr. Scholl's institu tion to give free and expert ad vice on the conditions of the feet. This firm is bringing this expert to Sanford at great expense to offer his services absolutely free to an v one in Chatham, Harnett or Lee counties that may desire to consult him. If you have nunions, corns, ingrowing nails, fallen arches or suffer from foot trouble of any character, be sure to take the opportunity to see this representative. Read the ad. in another column of this firm in Sanford. Building Dams A little bird flew into The Rec ord office one day this week and whispered a bright piece of news. It was to the effect that an over seer of roads for the past twelve years in Baldwin township, must have an idea of going into elec trical business. Or rather, it is said, he is building dams across the Union mountain road that have the appearance of catching water enough to run an electric plant. That overseer should come to Center township and take les sons how to build roads. Watch your label. after your interest a call. Be convinced ON THE CORNER DEMOCK. Wise-Oth erwise Stolen Paragraphs Localized by the Editor to Tease His Friends There was something that all of us wanted the soldier boys to do for us in '17-'18, Is there any thing that we can do for them now? One time twelve bottles made i a case, now one flask makes five cases in superior court, seven is bastard measure and does not count.' j If you own your own home I there is no landlord to quarrel i with. The more horse power there is in the motor, the less horse sense there may be in the ariver. Greatest objection to radio is they are all party lines. Boys follow a brass band any timeand girls dress like a band. Nothing left out of the put and take game but the take. A bigamist has made the nlea that he was crezy because he married so many women. He must have been. The only people satisfied with theii lot are those that own them in town on the shady side of the street. Hope the miners do not get in a hole by coming out of one. Didn't use to pay much atten tion to a drunken man, now we stop long enough to wonder where he got it. 55959 Yes, money talks and at some elections it tries to orown the voice of the people. 99999 . The little Pittsboro boy who said, mama, I wish we had school on Saturday, too, will make his mark. 99999 Some men would kiss their wives oftener if they kept then mouth shut long enough. Church Services Rf ligious services will be held at St. Bartholomew Episcopal church on Easter Sunday as fol lows: 8 a. m. Holy communion. 11 a. m. Morr ing prayer and ser mon. 7:30 p. m Evening pray er and sermon. Good Friday (tcday) 10:30 a.m. Endorse Fitts Several good citizens have been recommended thru your paper, and while I have nothing against them I feel that with the tre mendous responsibility now placed on our county commis sioners, the comparatively huge sums of money to be expended by them for the benefit of the people of the county and with the absolute necessity that the money be spent wisely, that we not only have good, honest men, but that we have men of exper ience and ability. Our County Commissioners are the guardians of the people of our county and we want them to be able to get the worth of our money and not to expend it lav ishly. I want the people in the Democratic primaries to support Mr. C. B. Pittts of Bear Creek, who to my mind, has shown that he is capable and has shown his ability not only in his private business, but also as County Commissioner for some years prior to the last election. I do not know of a man in the County better qualified to pass on the question of how the county's money shall be spent than Chas. B. Fitts. If he will accept the nomination lets go to the primary and vote for him. Democratic Voter. Watch your label. DJR.J.

Josephs is too well known to the people of Lee, Harnett, Moore and Chatham counties to need an introduction. As mana ger and part owner of the Stein Bros, store in the past he has luilt up a large personal follow ing, and as a business man he ranks among the leaders of San- ford. He is identified with a number of the business estab lishments of the county, and I takes part in every movement looking to the advancement of j this section.

CHANCE FOR CHATHAM. Now to Get a Standard Grade High School if Worked for Right. An epoch was marked in the educational development of North Carolina when, Saturday after noon, the State Board of Educa tion appropriated $54,850 to aid in establishing standard four year high schools in rural dis tricts in counties which have not had such schools heretofore, thus assuring a standard high school for every county in North Carolina. At the close of the last school year there were 28 counties in the State in which there was not a high school of standard grade. All of these 28 counties will be enabled to maintain such a school through the action of the Board of Education, and in addition there will be established 15 other high s?hc ols in tkrn 1 viral districts of counties which have not here tofore had a high school of stand ard grade outside of the towns of these counties. It is regrettable to note that heretofore Ceatbam has not had a high school of Standard Grade. The appropriation has been made and we must now nave it. The possibility is for all the present nigh schools in the county we trust that such measures will be adopted as to secure the privi lege of having them. Want to Adopt a Baby? Do you want to adopt a baby boy anywhere from 2 to 8 months old? Or would you prefer tak ing one from 2 to 14 years old? Or would you like to adopt a girl 12 years old? If so, write to John J. Phoenix, state superin tendent, Greensboro, N, C, for particulars. To Deliver Address Dr. W L. Poteat, president of Wake Fcrest College, will deliv er the annual literary address at the Pittsboro high school on Mon day, May 8th, at 11 o'clock. Rev. Dr. Moss, pastor of the Presbyterian church at Chapel Hill, will preach the annual ser mon Sunday night, May 7.

Teague was in our office Saturday with a sam ple of oats from a six-acre field, just heading out and some splendid looking clover. He says that everything is in good prospects on his place, the bees are .making honey, plenty of old meat and corn in the crib, hens and ducks laying and the eaters are few. We expect to diminish some of those good things soon. Kill 'em Now. "Oh, every fly that skips out swatters Will have five million sons and daughters, And countless first and second cousins; Of aunts and uncles, scores and dozens, And fifty seven billion nieces; So knock the blamed thing all to pieces." Miss Pearl Foushee spent the week-end with Miss Katherine Johnson.
