SOCIATION Published by COLIN G. SHAW Editor and Owner. Chas. A. Brown Manager Friday April 28, 1922 THE HOUR OF DISTRESS There remains no longer any question of doubt but that Chat ham county people are passing through their hour of distress. They have just and reasonable cause to be alarmed they are alarmed, and as the water seeks its level and the eagle soars to heights for ambition, just so have they determined to rub out and retrieve from the old man ner of things. The time is oppor tune and advantage will be tak en in the primary to be, held in June to express the wishes of the common people of the coun ty. From time to time there will be the usual chaff to discredit, and be circulated by the big bosses and political healers that we are in jeopardy; that the Re publicans are pursuing us and that unless we look to the old liners, who have carried the door mat from the back porch to the front veranda, and the money lenders and changers, we are doomed ; the lack of hon or for a prophet save within his own country, and all the var ious and sundry schemes and pedal proclivities that can be used to deceive the voter and lead him astray, but they are alert and not so subject to de ception as they once were. Now, listen, voters! Your op portunity is at hand. Depend upon your own knowledge, in stinct, mother wit, or whatever you may choose to call it, go to the polls in the coming primary and vote for the candidates that alone will bring redemption and reform to Chatham county. Do your duty! Remember also, that this pa per is not against any man for personal reasons. We want to see the affairs of the county conducted strictly upon a Dem ocratic basis, that "Of the Peo ple, By the People and For the People." Now if all you good wo men will go to the polls and vote and take your husbands and sweethearts with you, then we can accomplish that which we undertake and this paper is de pending upon the splendid citi zenship in the rural sections of Chatham county to do their du ty. Will you meet the test? We need less blockaders and liquor peddlers and we need to have them convicted when ta ken into custody and we must consider these things when we go to vote. In this paper is to be found a statement from the County Commis sioners, justifying the expenditure of one thousand dollars for extra clerk hire for James L. Griffin, as clerk of the superior court of Chatham coun ty. We have not had the opportunity to look up the laws referred to in the communication, but we are in clined, to believe that so far as the discretion allowed them is concerned, was passed by Mr. Ray at a later date than that for which they have paid the extra clerk hire. It has come to the attention of the editor that it is being said that this publication was influenced by Victor Johnson. We want to disabuse the mind of anyone to this effect. The editor of this pa per is alone responsible for its publi caion. Furhermor it was not an at tack upon the Commissioners, but it is a matter of record in the court house and we expect to criticise any action or commend" any act of any public official at any time. It is a duty a newspaper owes its patrons to do so. As for its being misleading and inaccurate we will determine that more minutely in our next paper. TAX PAYERS' MONEY. SOME FROSTY MORNINGS. What Another Correspondent Thinks Personal Mention. New Hill, April 25. Mrs. Bettie Goodwin and Milford Goodwin spent the week-end with her brother, Lew is Poole, at Bonsai. Mrs. Nonie Drake, Mrs. Addie Webster and Mrs. Annie Hatley spent Sunday with their mother, Mrs. J. A. Thomas. Britt Gatlin visited Floy Sturdi- vant Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Lasater and Mrs. Bettie Auman spent Sunday with their father, Mr. William Stone, near Merry Oaks. Miss Hilda Lasater is spending sev eral davs in Durham with her sister, Mrs. Ed Woody. What do the tax payers think of the $1009 bonus given Mr. Jas. L. Griffin by the County Commission ers? Very little, I guess. All that I have heard express themselves dto. If people want to give it, it is al right, but I say do not rob the tax payers to give to a person who does not need such help, but then maybe we all can go to the County Home. We'll be more up to date than the majority of the homes of those who are taxed to death to build it. I hope that the office seekers wfll not forget the promises they made the soldier boys when they were en training for camp. Surely it is not true that Mr. Griffin is to run against Victor Johnson. I do not see how he could. While Mr. Griffin was in his office a part of 1918 and 1919, Victor Johnson was marching foot sore and tired on the battle fields of France, sleeping anywhere he could, eating as a servant what rations were given him and drawing very small pay. I say give the soldiers a bonus, and if the soldiers want an office, let's all vote for them. Long live the present editor to fight the evils of today, especially the liquor traffic. Mrs. ADDIE WEBSTER. Boy Scouts School Closed Death of A Ford Personals. Corinth, April 25. For the last four mornings the temperature has been dangerously near the freezing point. Sunday night it dropped to 34, just two degrees above freezing, but planted crops and gardens suffered and possibly some fruit but the dam age does not seem to be serious, the foliage on fruit trees protected fruit very much. Boy scouts will please remember be on hand next Saturday afternoon at Brickhaven at 3 o'clock. We will complete our organization, as we now have the required 24 members for a troop. Boys wanting uniforms, or any other Scout equipment please have their lists ready. We will vdo scout work for an hour and then have a game of baseball. Mr. Allen at this time will be on his annual vacation and will not be wit hus. R. L. Wilson and family, of Broad way, spent Sunday with D. A. Clark and family. The Truth school closed a success ful term last Friday. Miss Herring, principal and Miss Dewar, assistant, are two splendid teachers and have done a good years' work in the com munity. We should like to see them back again next year, unless Cupid has called them to other fields of greater usefulness. Altho Mr. Allen will be away on next picture night, Mr. May will be on hand at Brickhaven and show the pictures, while music, games,, etc., will be in the hands of a local com mittee. Let all Corinthians be on hand at Brickhaven. If this work is to con tinue during the summer the attend ance must be kept up, otherwise it wil ble discontinued, as it was last summer.. Mrs. C R. Dixon, of Cedar Rock, is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. N. Dickens. J. E. Dickens and Mrs. C. R. Dixon spent Sunday with Mrs. O. S. Dix on at Siler City. S. W. Harrington and family vis ited over Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. M. I. Ellis at Bonlee. Last Sunday was preaching day at Buckhorn church and all enjoyed Mr. Piland's sermon very much indeed. You have heard it said that gaso lene and whiskey don't mix. Well, that may be true, but over at the steep, white oak hill this morning there is the remains of quite a mix-, ture piled up in a heap, some 100 feet below the road.

It only seats 60 people. Pittsboro's theatre, in the minds of its inhabitants, does not hold a single person. Poor old Fatty Arbuckle! Not sat isfied with trying him three times for the death of a woman, they have barred his films from the public. "Be sure your sins will find you out." They are doing a little of everyth ing mean out west. They have been gone and tarred an editor of a news paper. Nobody is safe these days. No not one, but then that was out west. The Republicans in Congress say they will pass the bonus bill at this session. Now if they care to do the right thing let them pass a bonus bill also for the tax-payer. All will then be serene and happy. Brief Items of Interest Selected For Busy Readers.

It was said in Raleigh Tuesday by a New Yorker that in less than a year gasolene would be selling for less than 10 cents a gallon. A new formula called "tryoxalene" will take the place of gasolene . A seaplane recently traveled from Palm Beach, Fla., to New York in 9 hours and 56 minutes, a distance of 1,210 miles. That's getting over the ground some. It would take a good walker to go 50 miles in 10 hours. Why not? A clergyman in Califor nia defends courting in church. Well, is a church not one of the best! places in the world to court in? How many of us have not met our "best girl" at the church door and escorted her home. Very few, we guess. A Pennsylvania weather prophet says that the summer of 1922 will be the coldest since 1879. Beginning Ap ril 15th, and continuing until the last of August we will have cold winds, sleet, rain and snow. Let 'er come. We can stand almost anything. We are used to red dust crowing roosters, politicians, office seekers, tin Lizzies, bonuses, Republican Con gresses, and every other thing imag inable. If other people can stand the cold summer we hope to pull up in the rear a close second. And an Ala mance county man says we are to have a drier summer than last; that the dirt daubers are building close to the ground this year. "Let the wild world wag as it will, we'll be gay and happy still."
