THE RECORD IS THE PU'ER THAT'S IN EV ERY HOME, AND THE; ONLY PAPER IN MAA HOM ES. The CHATHAM THE RECORD IS READ EVERY WEEK BY AL MOST EVERY BODY THAT'S ANY BODY. ESTABLISHED SEPT. 19, 1878. PTTTSBORO, N. C, CHATHAM CO.. FRIDAY, JUNE 16. 1922 VOL. XLIY NO. 45 Record CHATHAM TO THE FRONT. Thousand Faints and Owners to Be Consulted in County. Chatham has won out ahead of forty mid-state counties be fore the Farm Tenacy Commis sion appointed by the State Board of Agriculture. This com mission consists of B. F. Brown of the State Bureau of Markets, Clarence Poe and C. C. Wright, representing the Board, C. C. Taylor, of the State College of Agriculture and Engineering and Dr. E. C. Branson, of the State University. A thousand farms of owners and tenants will be studied by field workers in Chatham, Edg comb and Madison, around 350 in a typical township or two in each of the three counties. The surveys will begin in a few days. The expense is borne by the State and Federal Departments of Agriculture, the State A. & E. College and the University. They cost the counties nothing. There are 23 million idle acres and 117 thousand landless, home less farmers in North Caorlina. In Chatham there are 332 thous and idle acres and 700 landless, homeless white farmres. This State and Chatham coun ty need more home-owning far mers and our waste land needs to be brought into profitable use. How to help men to own farms is what this Farm Ownership Commission is trying to find out ; how successful farmers succeed ; how hard working, long-headed tenants have become farm own ers in the last 20 years, why the others have failed and so on and on these are some of the things that are to be studied and reported to the next legislature it January. Seventeen States have passed laws concerning State -aid to farmers. If this State considers such laws, our legislature will need to know what the facts are in represent ative counties. Messrs. Gibbons, Dickey and Branson laid the matter before the county commissioners and the board of education last week and spent the rest of the day getting the advice of leading cit izens, gathering up county maps and information, and in general getting ready for the field trips of the surveyors. We are passing on this item of news to our readers so that they may understand what is propos ed, what these field workers are doing in the county during the three summer months, and why they are asking so many ques tions as they move from home to home. They are trying to put Chat ham to the front on the map for that will be the result if our farmes are willing to give these gentlemen from the State University the information they are seeking from each farmer. Nobody need hesitate to ans wer any question they ask. No blank filled out by anybody will oe given to the public in the committee report. What is want ed is the averages for the coun ty and we want the best pos sible averages for Chatham. We know well enough that Chatham is the best county in mid-state Carolina, but it will be worth something to us for ev erybody else to know it. Six other counties want this survey, and if our farmers do not want it they have only toi turn a coir! shoulder to Messrs. Dickey and Gibbons and they will promptly begin work in some other county. We needn't have it if we don't want it. Do we want it? The editor thinks we do. What do other people think about it ? Please let us hear from you in regard to it. Revival at Goldston. Rev. Jonas Barclay, who has been preaching once a month at Goldston since last December,be gan a series of revival meetings there the third Sunday in May, continuing one week. .

Law rence and Marks Brothers have bought several million feet of timber in Lee county. They will put in a planer and several mills on the land and begin cutting immediately. Mrs. R. L. Wilson and family are visiting Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Clark. Bathing at Buckhorn Beach has begun. Mr. L. F. Rollins and family, of Fuquay Springs, spent the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Rollins One day last week Mr. T. A. Aus ley dug up $30.70 in nickles and dimes beside an old styamp in his cot ton patch. All were dated before the Civil War. About a year ago, Mr. Ausley found $25.00 in nickles and dimes in this same patch. Mrs. S. A. Gunter, of Lee county is visiting her nephews, J. D., and B. M. Mclver. Misses Lula and Reffie Mims, of Bonsai and Miss Alta Tudor visited Miss Carrie Lee Cross Sunday. Well, the unusua lhappened yester day. Sunday, all day and no rain. Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Curry and fam ily, of Raleigh, spent the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Nash at Buckhorn. The real news this week is the story of the travels of Mr. Lonnie Mims' new Ford. Mr. Lonnie went out to his garage last Wednesday morning and found his car gone, and no clue as to who had it. It was tracked as far as Merry Oaks and lost. Bills were struck and sent out to nearby towns; a trail was picked up at Duncan and followed to Lil Iington. The car was finally found hid out in the woods near Mamers, in Harnett county, on Thursday night. Someone had noticed the thief in his bare feet, covering up the wheel tracks where it had left the road. He got an officer and they watched the car over night, thinking it was a boot legger's outfit. No one came for the car that night, so they took it to San ford and found from the newspaper ad that it was Mr. Mim's car. The man who covered up the car tracks was recognized by someone, and now it de velops that the same man and one or two other suspicious parties had been seen abou tCorinth several times shortly before the car was stolen. The guilty parties in this case should he handled severely. It has been only few weeks since at least one of them was released on payment of a nne from exactly the same offense. With this class of individuals known to be at large in our community, no one's car is safe. The government is sending nearly all of the notorious Kelly bunch of auto thieves to prison and now 4he county should do the same in this case. We all know of the custom of tell ing our friends in that genuine hospi table way, to "come and see us any time, our latch string is always out." Well, it so happened that this partic ular Ford had been cleaned up, filled with gas and the key left in the switch that is. the latch key was out. but then ask Miss Grace Mims i for any further particulars, as to who it was intended for.

Did you ever see a one-legged ball player. Well, there was one played here last Friday with the West Dur ham team, and he was a wonder, tie was catcher for his team, and dont worry! He caught all right. It was like throwing a ball into a barrel, it made no difference to him whether the ball was in one foot or ten he got it. Sometimes he would catch it stand ing on one foot, and sometimes he was down on his stomach, but he d stop the ball, just the same. When his time come the ball, every one present was full of curiosity to know what he was eroing to do. They soon found out. He was put out on first, but the next time he was at the bat he made first mnnine or hopping on one foot. He was then relieved from running further, and his suDsxituie umue w. 1.. Durham scored. Wi main blaviner was behind the bat, and it was fine. His name was Blackman, but ne piayeu wmuc. boro' fans certainly enjoyed it.

On last Friday, the Pittsboro base ball team took the West Durham bunch of ball tossers down to "the meadow" and gave them a decisive licking, the score being six to one Even then the team was crippled by the absence of Buckner, the star short stop, and Herbert and Ben Williams, members of our snappy outfield. The game was rather slow but needless to say, was pleasing to local fans. The locals began scoring in the second inning. Palmer singled, took third on Clegg's single and scored on Avent's error. Two bases on bails and another error netted two more runs in the third. Two singles and a stolen base gave the vistiors their only run in the fifth The feature of the game was the playing of R. Blackman, Durham's catcher. Blackman, who had only one leg, was the life of his team. He made one of their four hits, which resulted in their only run. He was heartily applauded for his fine work. Aside from Blackman, Avent's fielding featured Durham's play. Tommy Hamlet, as usual, and Pal mer, led the hitting for Pittsboro, the former with a double and a triple, and the latter with three singles. The box score follows: 1 West Durham.

Negro Found Dead. A negro youth, who appeared to be 15 or 16 years old, was found dead alongside of the track of the Sea board, a mile south of Merry Oaks early Monday morning. Sheriff Blair was notified and he went over to iook at the corpse. The left side of the negroe's head and face were mashed in and one of his hands was badly mashed, the lit tle finger being entirely cut off and was found lying inside tne ran. The suDDosition is that he was eith er hoboeing and was jerked off the train or was asleep on the track when the train hit him. He was a stranger around that sec tion. the only idenitfication being in a letter iouna in nis pocK.es uirecteu . . . 1 . , 1 X. JZ i 1 to Earl Mattock, Kinston, N. C, from Philadelphia, dated last November. The Sheriff summoned a jury and held an inquest over the dead man Thev returned a verdict of unknown causes. A negro mail clerk, running from Greensboro to Morehead is under arrest for robbing the mails. He is charged with stealing over $5,000. The nesrro. Will Davis, who assaulted a young white woman near High Point last week, was taken to Raleigh and locked up in the penitentiary for safe keeping. He would have been lynched.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Brown, Mr. and Mrs. M. Yow, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Brown and others attended the Memorial services at the Cole ridge Baptist church . The Bennett Chnsitan Sun day school held its annual Chil dren's Day services on the top of Carraway mountains, six miles north of Ashboro, and the fifty-five from the school had a gloriuos time. Carraway moun tain is only a hill 750 feet high, but that , puts one up where the air is cool and refreshing. This mountain, with 450 acres around belongs to Mr. A. N. Routh, father of our Bennett millers. Rae and Walter .Routh. Another son, B. C, formerly of Bennett, lves near the foot of Carraway mountain. Knowing our Sunday school s intention to visit the mountain, Mr. A. N. Routh and his son, B. C, had put a table and seats for our comfort, and after our religious service, im pressed with the eternal hills of God, we "set to" and fed the in ner man. Somewhere between 75 and 150 years ago the top of Carra way mountain was under culti vation, and there still stands the huge stone fence, surround ing some ten acres, and that is covered with tall, spreading oaks and pines all of the reforest kind. The ascending road is about one mile and has to be made on "low" but we all sot there. We are going back again, mayoe, on the comme 4th of July. HENRY DURBIN. ORAN A.

Clinton Seawell and Wayland Han non spent the week-end with rela tives in Moore county. Mr. Griffin, of the Boylan Ranch, Harold Mims and Russell Overby, who were on the sick list last week, are out again, we are glad to learn. Mumps is about' to become an epi demic in our little village. Not many people have had it so far, but the fact that it is here gives the result of an epidemic. The attendance at Sunday school suffers greatly. There was quite a bit of excitement here one day last week when a large Shepherd dog, suffering from rabies, appeared on the scene, but thanks to an unselfish neighbor and the phone, the children and pets of the com munity were saved. With the excep tion of a trained Shepherd belonging to B. M. Dickens, which had to be killed. Mr. Dickens is to be commend ed for his promptness in getting rid of his dog. If everyone, under like conditions, would act as wisely, there would be fewer dangerous dogs at large, and less expense too. Mr. Dick ens, himself for fear that he too was infected, went to Raleigh for an ex amination, but luckily the Pasteur treatment was not necessary. Another day for special observance, June 14th, Flag Day. It would be fitting and for most of us, instruct ive at least, to know the rules govern ing the use and care of our National colors. Our Flag shuold be as dear to us during peace times as it is in times of war and distress. E. V. Lawrence is very busy mov ing his saw mill over to Lee county, where he proposes to begin cutting on a large tract of timber which he re cently purchased.

The house which was burned on west Salisbury street last week, was Srobably one of the oldest in Pitts oro. A lady of this place, who is ap proaching 80 years, knew the place in her younger days, and says it was used as a boarding house probably before she was born. She thinks the house at least 100 years old, and may be older. Walter Johnson, the present owner, was making arrangements to have the house remodeled, but the fire did it for him. It is not known how the fire originated and probably will never be. It has been suggested that probably a cigarette from a gambler's hand, carelessly thrown, may have done the work.

There isn't such a large force there. but what is there seem to be doing a great deal of work. It will probably be some time in the early part of next year before the bridge is turne dover to travel. The road from Pittsboro to Bynum is one of the finest top soiled roads in the state, and it is a delight to ride over it. When this bridge has been completed, the three miles of road from the Chatham line to cnap- el Hill will have been completed, and there will be no better road to be found anywhere. 666 cures Bilious Fever. I NEWS FROM SILK HOPE. Rain and Plenty of Grass Per- sonal Notes. Siler City, Rt. 4., June 10. After a week of rain, the farm ers are very busy with general green ; hope they will be the win ners, and with hard work and plenty of sunshine, I think they will. Harvest time is on with us all and there is plenty of hard work to it. Some of the oats and wheat are very good, while oth er fields are not filled, but have plenty of straw. We understand that tobacco worms have already made their appearance. This is rather early and tobacco grow ers will look out or else they will chew up more of the weed than there will be left to sell. We are glad to welcome Miss Susie Perry back in our midst, after being in school in Elon, the past session, where she grad uated. Also glad to know that Miss Margie Perry is improving after an operation for appendi citis. Hope she wil soon be able to come. She too, graduated this year at Elon. Mr. Worth Woody, after a visit of several days with his father, M. H. Woody, has ac cepted a positioji in Washington, D. C, and has gone to begin at once. Mr. Hertford Self is also in Washington at work. Mr. Henry Straughan has been unable to work for over two weeks with rheumatism.
