Miss Neva Pipkin, of Durham, spent , week with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Pipkin, at Truth. We have usually been able to track the Red Roadster around over various parts of four counties every week end but Avery Ausley says this last it got over in the Truth com lity and broke down, and could not find the way back or at least some thing happened over there to delay it the greater part of the week-end. Boy Scouts, remember that we war.t to have a bunch of at least 12 to go camping at Lakeview in August, ar.d no one can go who does not pass the test for a tenderfoot Scout. Be on hand next Saturday at Corinth pre pared to pass the test. Mrs. Walter Bryan and daughter, Hilda Belle, and Vivian, of Tampa, Fla., are spending a few weeks visit ing Mr. and Mrs. T. V.

A l k. 1 V. 11 . V i . 1 HUM 1.11 MU quate church building, well kept and with a Sunday school, we find a pro gressive home-owning people. The same thing is true in other counties. It seems that one of the greatest as sets in a community is the church, and the more active the people be come in the church, the more progres sive the community. Where the church shows signs of neglect and few at tend, we can find a backward, non progressive community. Interest in the church indicates community prosper ity. Another interesting fact that comes Chatham farmers. Newspapers and periodicals are rare, instead of the rule. The farmers are cutting them selves off from the outside world, and the experience of others in failing to take papers and magazines. Not only are papers a valuable economic asset to the farmers,' but equally as valuable in making rural life more whole some and satisfving to old and young. j A home with papers and magazines invariablv indicates a home where the young as well as the old are in . T . 1 I 1 1.1 f terested in the home and the farm. One of the reasons for lack of inter est in papers in some communities in Chatham is the fact that the daily alwavs arrives a day late. A paper is old when it arrives. This kills the in terest in it. This condition ought to be remedied. Chatham has some as fine people as 'and countv in the U.

Betterment Social Party at Lakeview Other Brickhaven News. Brickhaven, July 11. Mrs. G. W. I Harrington, a former resident here, 1 A 1? TT . A A A f put wno now lives m narnett county, is visiting relatives nere. Mr. Albert Mims, of Yemassee, S. C, who is spending a two weeks va cation with his parents, has been quite ill, but hopes to be able to re turn to his work the latter part of this week. Mr. E. V. Lawrence is suffering from a slight attack of paralysis, but is slowly regaining the use of his right hand and arm. His friends are delighted to learn that he is getting on so nicelv. Mr. Russell Overby, who is a pa tient at Rex hospital, continues to im prove and expects to return home within a few weeks. The Betterment Association cleared quite a tidy sum Saturday evening, even though the inclement weather made it necessary that the 'lawn fete' be given indoors. Those present seem ed to enjoy both the eats and games. Misses Louise Harrington, Kuth Kennedy, Frances Thompson, Annie Hilda and Mary Lee Utley were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Nash at a picnic conducted at Lakeview last Friday. The host said that the picnic was for" the little folk, but the 'big' folks who were fortunate enough to be among the guests want to as sure both host and hostess that they know how to make others happy and the beauty of it is that they exercise the art. Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Kennedy, little Ruth Kennedy, and Mr. Hannon spent Sunday with relatives at Carthage. Mr. W. A. Griffin, of the Boylan Ranch has returned from a visit to his mother at Durham. Brickhaven folks were somewhat scattered on last Tuesday, some were at Lakeview, and some were at Buckhorn, while others spent the Glo- rious Fourth at Sanford. All reported a very pleasant day. Mr. and Mrs. Riddle, of Raleigh, spent the 4th with Mi and Mrs. B. M. Dickens. Coteon blooms are everywhere now and have ceased to be a novelty. Wa- termelons are here too. Farm work is not so pushing and some say that it really seems that the "good old summer time has come at last. , Miss Nell Yarborough t was here Saturday night for the lawn fete Miss Audrey Cross spent the week- en,rtrth ?

THINK OF OTHERS I took special notice of two young men the other morning, driving along one of our streets in a ear, and their demeanor was worthy of a great re gard. They showed good horse sense, for they were travelling so slow that passers-by would not be choked to death by dirt and dust. It is astonish ing to see how little respect some people have for others. The people who live in this town breathe more dirt than they do pure air. If every body would drive slow while coming into town or going out, and if our people' here would do the same, it would be a thousand times better for all of us. Some folks regard the auto laws no more than Hottentots. see people rushing along in cars just as if the whole creation would be hurled into eternity unless they saved the day by destroying every body in their way to bring relief. Most people are not half so important as they think they are. There is nothing that you and I make so many blunders about, and the world so few. as the actual amount of our import ance. There are families living here who can not keep, a decent house for the dirt kicked up right before their doors by automobiles. Whereas, on the other hand, if people would slow down to a very moderate pace it would not be half so bad. I saw a bunch of joy riders the other day dashing around the corner at a break neck speed, throwing up a cloud of dust for others to gulp down their throats. The words of Josh Billings came into my mind at once, "Young man, keep still, you have time enough yet to make a fool of yourself." Give a fellow an automobile and he will kill somebody, give him an airship and he will break his own neck. I don't expect the man who rides in an automobile to pay much attention to me, it has a kind of elevating influ ence; he feels himself above such folks as I am. But if all of us would learn more of the art of being HUMAN, how much better off would this wretched world be! Jesus Christ tried hard to teach men this art, but they would not hear Him through and killed him before He could finish the story. He never rode in an auto mobile, and never had a change of raiment to His name. He never lived in a house by the side of the road to be a friend to man, but He walked with them, He talked with them, and died right between two miserable human souls . And had these two robbers been filchers of filthy lucre, and been living now, it is likely they would have gone to some sanatarium for a rest. C. O. SMALL $100,000,000 FOR ROADS Approximately $100,000,000 will be spent for good road construction throughout the country during the fiscal year which began July 1. This wil lbe brought about by the continu ation of federal aid for roads under recent authorization of an appropri ation of almost fifty million dollars for distribution among the several states. Under the conditions of the aid each state must match the sum allotted it. It is estimated that the $190,000, 000 appropriated will result in the construction of more than 25,000 mlies of road, which added to the 46,000 miles that are expected to re sult from previous federal appropria tions, make a total of 71,000 miles, or nearly 40 per cent of the estimated 180,000 miles of good roads on the I system 01 tne leueiai tuu waus now being outlined. The average cost per mile of all types of road constructed with federal aid has been $17,120, of which 43 per cent has been the cost to the government. The new legislation, however, reduces the maximum par ticipation on the part of the gov ernment from $20,000 to $16,250 per mile for the first fiscal year, and $15,000 thereafter. The appropria tions are to be used on construction of a connected system of primary, or interstate, and secondary or mter eottnty, roads. The apportionment made for North Carolina for the fiscal year by the federal government is $1,139,556.00. Fred Burgess, son of Adolphus Bur gess, of New Hope township, was killed in Greensboro last Thursday by the premature explosion of a dynam ite cap. He was buried at Bethel j church, near his old home last Sat urday. He was 25 years olid. DEATH OF MISS SMITH, DURHAM News Notes and Personals From The Bennett Section. Bennett, July 10.

The cultivation of the fraternal spirit has much to do with the suc cess of a local comunity. Where the population is limited the indifference or selfishness of a sin gle individual exerts a depressing ef fect upon others, and this attitude of pessimism in time peremates the whole community. Men and women who really desire to advance the inter ests of themselves and their neigh bors find it difficult to work to advan tage when disaffected ones are con tinualy throwing a wet blanket over every new project that is proposed. Investigation and discussion are both commendable and desirable, but pessimistic remarks and pulling back in the community harness are on a par with a balky horse.
