THE CHATHAM RECORD, PITTSBORO, . C. INDEPENDENT IN POLITICS Established in 1878 by H. A. London. Entered at Pittsboro, N. C, as Second Class mail matter by an Act of Congress. SUBSCRIPTION One Year .$1.50 Advertisements 25c per inch Net. Foreign Advertisi lg Re THE AMERICAN PRESS esentative SOCIATION Published by COLIN G. SHAW Editor and Owner. Chas. A. Brown Manager Friday May 19, 1922 EVERYBODY REGISTER. Saturday will be the last day in which unregistered men and women of Chatham county, legally entitled to registration, may perfect their qualifications to participate in the primary to be held on Saturday, June 3rd and the final elections during the year. It is the final day, too, for the reg istration of candidates for the county offices. The primary to be held on June 3rd, is one of the most important to Chatham county that has ever been held. It is one that every man, wo man and child is interested in. It will determine the future of Chatham and means more than the average citi zen has taken tim eto consider. Next week and the week after, we hope to outline some of the more im portant reasons why you should vote in this primary ;we haven't the room this week. But folks, listen, hear me! Don't forget to register and be in position to exercise your privilege as a voter and let me talk to you next week. Get right. Every citizen, in whatever town, precinct or community in this county, should bear in mind the obvious fact that government in a democracy is essentially what the masses of the people make it. If it is good, it is because the peo ple make it so by their votes; if it is bad, the responsibility rests upon none other than the voter. Popular government, in other words, is good, bad or indifferent in exact accordance with the will of the masses constituting it; and the only means by which the people can exer cise their constitutional right of self government is xr them to qualify for the ballot in accoi dance with the law, then go to the polls on election day AND VOTE! The ballot box is the only depend able safeguard asrainst bad eovern- ment. By the same token, the exercise of the elective franchise is not only a privilege belonging to American cit izens but it is the highest and most sacred duty of citizenship. Exercise that duty. REGISTER and VOTE. well as anybody, unless it is his own family. I know him to be a Christian gentleman in every re spect and Chatham county could not send a better man to the leg islature than C. A. Snipes. He is capable, qualified in every par ticular and will represent us in an admirable manner. C. B. SMITH. Chapel Hill, N. C, -Rouet No. 1. You can raise children or you can rear them. Either is correct, but when the Legislature is in session it raises taxes, but man, the people do the rearing. Henry Ford has placed an order for 10,000,000 nuts. Which may mean that we will be missing some of our friends soon. Carolina Banner. Didn't know before that the editor of the Banner belonged ot that class. If one wants to practice law, one must qualify by passing certain ex aminations, but if one wants the 'privilege of making the laws or exe cuting the laws, all one has to do is to hand out the high temperature at mosphere to the voters. The women folks have invaded al most every sphere that was once up on a time man's exclusive privilege. We note from the Greensboro News of Friday, May 12th, an account of a championship tilt between baseball clubs at Wilson, N. C, that the coach in that game was none other than Mrs. N. B. Mann, a former resident of Siler City. Certainly silly zo go over the coun ty and try to make the women folks believe that if they register that it will be necessary to serve on the jury. Don't believe it. It is not true. Wo men are not eligible to jury duty in North Carolina, but it is a duty you owe your children, brothers, fathers or any kinsfolks to register and vote. Don't be misguided. There are many misleading things that vou mav hear Your main dutv is to REGISTER and VOTE. Henry Ford has been trying some time to get the Muscle Shoals in Al abama, and 'Congress has been hag gling over the proposition ever so long. Congress ought to let him have what he wants. A man that has sense enough to make fertilizer out of the employs 60,000 people, has sense enough to make fertilizer ou tof the Shoals project. Net only giving em ployment to 60,000 people but his em ployees have to work only five days a week and get S6.00 a day for their labor. Wi ise- wtner wise Stolen Paragraphs Localized by the Editor to Tease His Friends Endurin' a campaign political boss es raise a big holler to keep up their standin' in the party. O The distress signal will be plain ly visible after the June Primary. O An undesirable neighbor is one who borrows your home-made butter and pays it back in oleo. O An egotist easily obeys auto laws he's used to blowing his own horn. 0 An interesting man is one who lis tens while you talk about yourself. O Love your wife like you do yourself and divorce will not' be so common. O Prohibition laws do not keep an old hen and biddies from destroying your spring onion patch. O Don't try to get even with your enemy, keep ahead of him. O - A man and his wife both have words, but the woman uses hers. O Lots of folks would stage around the court house for jury duty if they would pass the evidence around. O What's the use when you hear 'em say, "the half has never been told," let them tell it. O The man with the largest library usually has the least time to read. O - It was a wise man who anticipated the opportunities 'made possible by the automobile sufficiently to enter into the undertaking business. O All is well that ends well.

Well, says the edi tor, "I hardly know, there are so many things that need attention and the time is so short until the primary that we hardly know what to do. We intend to have some real interesting reading the last week before the pri mary. In fact, we intend to answer a few of the lies that have been circu lated around over Chatham and deal v.-'Hi the important matters that the voters should consider. During that week we will mail out something like 3000 papers all over Chatham and we want a the people to read it." "I think," says the visitor "that you should ten them what not to do instead of telling them what not to do Takes too much space md the read ers of this Favorite Family Maga zine would tire of reading the long editorials, it would be too much likt listening to an old office-holder tell ing how radical a real, honest-to-goodness an editor democrat has be come. Then, too, it would take scientific research to distinguish the difference anyway, and this editor is not a scientist. A real, smart man like Dr. W. L. Poteat, of Wake Forest Col lege, can't get by with scienitfic ideas. Some of his own denomina tion, the Baptists, in North' Carolina, are now making an atetmpt o 'an him (not preserve) because of h:s ad vanced and well taken ideas on re ligious matters. Well, anyway, some men do and some men don't, but conditions do not end here some go to the land of feathers when they die, and some don't. Some are supposed tc go to a place where feathers would sizzle and curl up like June bugs in an elec tric arc light around the town head quarters of the most prominent boot legger. Some say it is the fault of the individual and others claim it is fate. Men are bigger thain bees but they DONT make honey. Some men say grace at the table and say stronger things in the stable after the cow steps on his foot. Some men do, some don't. We say don't. We note our contemporary, The Chatham Record, speaks of Apex's newest industry, the soap factory. Yes, Brother Shaw, we may not know how to make "moonshine,' but we are learning, how to make "SUN SHINE." Come over and let us show you. Apex Journal. We contemplate an investigation of your industry soon, and if it is all we believe it is, we shall do as the colored folks in their song festivals, we'll start a "doubling" machine over here and turn out "Star Bright" and "vie" with vou folk: . ABOUT OUR GOOD ROADS. Post Dispatch Editor Surprised at Our Progress. Rockingham Post-Dispatch. Had anyone predicted ten years ago that in such a short time Chat ham county would have as good gravel roads as could be found in the state, he would have been laugh ed at. But such is the case. The highway running from the Orange county line to the Lee county iine, through Pittsboro, is as perfect a graved road as can be found anv- where. And a road built by township and private funds from Goldston north through Bonlee to Siler City is the best stretch of gravel road this writer has ever seen; this latter road is through a clay country and yet is so perfectly graveled and" bedded that a hardwood floor surface could hard ly be smoother. This road runs with in two miles of Mt. Vernon Springs, and is tapped by a two-mile spur of the same caliber. A state highway is now being built from Siler City to Pittsboro, of gravel and will be completed within a month; this will be a part of a main artery running east and west, through Chatham, thus splitting the county in four directions. Old Chatham has awakened, and the network of real roads will make this fine old county heard from. SHILOH AND BENNETT GAME. Personal and Local Matters terest to our Readers. of In- SNIPES IS ALRIGHT.
