ESTABLISHED SEPT. 19, 1878. PITTSBORO. N. C, CHATHAM CO.. FRIDAY, AUGUST 4. 1922 VOL. XLIV NO. 52 UHATI SEWERAGE, WATER, STREETS. Matter Shaping Itself Into Desired Form for Improvements. The town commiesinoers ' of Siler City had an important meeting on Saturday night. At the meeting was L. V. Edwards, a civil engineer from Winstno-Salem, regarding some feas ible water and sewer system for the" town of Siler Ctiy. The big question of cost was dis cussed at length. Cost, however, de pending upon two questions: source of water supply and length , of sewer lines. The secretary of Chamber of com merce had been working on plans ancl sometime ago submitted to the mem bers of the board a rough plan, cost ing an amount within easy reach of the municipality. The board of commissioners want ing to verify these figures thought it best to secure the services of an engineer, so Mr. Edwards came by re quest of Mr. Johnstun, to present his plans and back it up with necessary information. Mr. Edwards stated that he first would have to know exactly the length of both water an sewer lines as well as the proposed water supply before he could give an accurate figure as to approximate cost. He, however, rave an outline of about what the town could do with $60,000 to $80,000. The board, of course, took no actior, but first decided to learn the actual flow of the largest springs near by with the idea of combining them all in one central pool and pumping to an elevated stand pipe. Necessary steps were taken along this line, and if it is learned the quantity of spring wtaer can be secured it is only a question of a short time until work will begin, for the sentiment of the people, as well as the board, is to put the water and sewer system in such quantity as a specific cost will allow. It is the intention of the board of commissioners to do what they do, to do well, even if every foot or street is not reached at the present time. Mr. Gregson and Mr. Johnstun have been devoting, a good deal of time and thought, to the subject and too much praise cannot be given them for their efforts in behalf of so worthy a cause. The people should back them and the commissioners up in this good work. It means everything to Siler City, and in fact, it is a forward move that not only develops the town, but has its influence on the county. We hope to be able to announce in a few weeks that concrete steps are ta'cen that will make this most im poitant improvement a sure go. CONTRACT FOR NEW BUILDING. Siler City to Erect New Hundred Thousand Dollar School. The school board of Siler City in session last Wednesday arterooon. awarded the contract for a new school building for Siler City, the success ful bid.ieis being the Chatham Con struction Company, of the town. Bids were received from a number of contractors, the lowest bid being 870,625. Together with an additional amount to be raised for modern equipment, and otherwise adding to the original plans, will make the new building cost approximately one hundred thousand dollars. A beautiful new location has re cently been purchased by the local board of education and as soon a.c material can be placed, work will be commenced on the structure. The nev. building will be loctaed in an entire ly new section of the town, although centrally situated, and inasmuch as the place has no name at this time this paper takes occasion to call it "School Park," and we believe it is an adaptable one.. The replacing of the wooden build ing heretofore used, is but an indi cation of the continued forward stride of Siler City. NEWS FROM ANTIOCH SECTION. Cumnock, Route 1, July 30. Mrs. W. R.

In the face of our many economic and industrial troubles the following paragraphs taken from a report of a Convention of Episcopalians at Chi cago are sufficient: "A fundamental change in the spir it and working of our social and in dustrial life is necessary to restore the world to peace and order." "The fundamental change proposed can only be effected, according to the declaration, by accepting as the basis of all our relations the principal of co-operation in service for the com mon good, in place of unrestricted competition for private or sectional advantage." Think and wish as we may, the fact is undeniable that we are face to face with a big change in our political-economic life, and the sooner we realize it the better it wlil be for us. OBSERVER.

More Than Two Hundred People En joy a Splendid Occasion. Sunday, July -80th, 1922, will long be remembered by those who were fortunate to be at the home of Mr. Robert F. Sturdivant, in New Hope township, at the reunion of the Stur divant and Thomas families. The clans were gathered there from the four corners of ..North Carolina, and there were a total of more than two hundred people, all directly or in directly related to the late J. A. Thomas or the late Robert Sturdivant. Folks came from as far away as Wil mington; they were there from Dur ham, Bynum, Carrboro and various and sundry sections in Chatham coun ty. It was a pleasant day for the editor and the joyful time spenf'tberg will ever be a delightful reminder of a splendid people, a beautiful home, and a'l that go to make life real and earn est. Among the nieces, nephews, cous ins and the children, as well fls grand children, there are some mostexeol lent singers, and the day was one of song both before the dinner and af terwards. Sacred music was all that was rendered, but never a church choir attained tHe sweetness of voice or more perfect harmnoy of nots, be they ever so well trained. Those young men and ladies could make the welkin ring and it was a delight to hear them. In the forenoon the great throng of people, were entertained by plaasjng talks by Mr. R. Farrar, of Apex, Rev. B. J. Howard, of Chapel Hill, Rev. J. W. Autry, of Carrboro and others. Finally, upon; being insisted to dp so, the editor persecuted them with a few broken remarks. In the 4arge, shady yard, there had been erected a table some forty jof fifty foot long and it was loaded down with viands from noe to the other, fit to tempt a king. An abundance of friend chicken, good old North Caro lina ham, beef, mutton, and in fact all kinds of meatp, pastries, pies, cus tards, cakes and a variety of canned, fruits, pickles, and everything tha would cause a hungry man to em barass himself. Immediately followirg the dinner, the young folks repaired to the parlor where singing was again commenced, the older folks gathered around in the cars and shady places, and every one enjoyed a splendid day of secal! in tercourse. Ye editor longs for another trip to mat good section ot Chatham, ar.d it will not take a great deal of persuad-f ing to get us to accept an invitation DOWN AT CAROLINA.

There were abuot 70 of j the attendants, besides some older ' iolks that went in four large trucks, in addition to several cars, and the trip was certainly an idea! one, noth ing happening to mar the occasion. The writer heard some of the older ones who attended, say that they en joyed the trip better than any they had ever taken before. Our Sunday school is still growing. We have over 100 on the roll. There is some sickness in our neigh borhood. Mrs Marshal Oldham is very sick and the family of Mr. Dolphus Fields all have colds.

Chapin last Friday afternoon to Miss Pearl John son, a returned Missionary from Shanghai, China, by the Missionary Society of the Baptist church of ; Pittsboro, members of other Mission ary Societies of town being invited guests. Miss Johrson toid of her work in China, although hard, in some re spects, was very pleasant. Many i questions were asked her by some of the ladies present, Miss Johnson ans wering them in a most satisfactory way, During the reception Mi,cs Johnson produced some Chinese records, which were played on an Edison talking machine. While no one could under stand the words of the Chinese songs, all seemed to enjoy the strange sound ing music.

Cotten, of Merry Oaks, writ ing to the News and Observer, says that there is a kind of worm about an Inch and a half long (not the army type) that is literally eating the leaves off most of the trees, especially the oaks and black jacks in that sec t.ion. Alone- with these warms eoes a kind of bus: that is almost as large as a fresh hatched partridge.

Emblematical of the mustard seed planted long ago by the Master of the world, the branches of the tree ana democratic hae only fua meaning oi partyism, hut tney carry no such thought at all. Following the gospel of redemption and salvation. Chris! gave the world the gospel of better moral and social standards, a health- ier atmosphere of Hying and making of an aftldy Kingdom where peace should reign supreme. From this we get the idea of the simple life free trom disorder and strife, due to the grasping predatory wealth and things that satisfy not. There are just as many vagrant rich as vagrant poor, and maybe many more. Neither would contribute a thing to the welfare and happiness of the world, but would be alike consumers of what others pro duced. The driving from the temple of Jehovah the traders who had Dollut e and usurped its holy purpose is a nne illustration of the temple of the human body which must be eliminat- ed from the desires of mercenary greed or it too will be destroy dx like :M prototype. Socialization means the creation am development of a feeling that binds members into a group in such a way as to make them a unit. It also carries a meaning of something like this: a better distribution of that which belongs really to all people. Just now socializing our education to a movment that is sweeping the coun try, for we see at last the masse ; must be trained for the best service they are to render the state, society, and nation. Upon this we stand or lab Our western civilization must accent the foreigner who comes among us ac ! an adopted child whose welfare wc j are to insure by justice and humanitj ! and training for our civilization. The ( fact can no longer be escaped; our ne ' gleet to make him fit into our great" social structure may cause our down fall. All of us must be brought to the highest plane of spiritual and physic j al adustment not for ourselves, bu. for the good ofall. t;-., nf tuis RnrCau7n(r 'mt vi "good will," the very words the her ... . ... ' . aids of glory sang loi.g ago. Right now as you all knpw this country i; in a terrible state of unrest. No man't mind is contented with his condition. Our president has shown a splendid spirit of broad mindness, patience anc. courtesy, and national dignity in deal ing with the situations. Whether the man who labors acts foolishly or wist at times, it is forever true that there is a relationship between men who give employment and men who work fo, wages No employer deserves much hu man sympathy, who is not willing to treat those who labor for him as fel low-workers in a spirit of friendship, and with an un:easink desiw for their welfare. If this socializing influence is stiflee; iT j r .;tr,i;.ot; i, 11,0 late class separation which is likely to be one of our pitfalls. The past shows that where capitalism predomi nates, society is destroyed, and vice, crime, and immorality will be the in evitable result. Some way, I say must be foud to harmonize these con flicting forces. Wealth gives way to materialism, and materialism is like breaking the commandment in setting up a false god. There is to much of e j feeling" yet and not enough fo the we- -feeling" and the we group '. I One remedy is that business must I be for social service and not for profit lor individual gain only. Business must do justice to call men,- and tax ation must fall where the burden ! should go. There seems to be decay , along some well defined lines, the 1 family, government, religion, and morals. The family once furnished the means of binding selfish human na ture and social obligations; now it has lost its power to save. In government we discover a falling away from the 1 right ideals of patriotism; self inter est, demagogism, and class interests predominate too much. No politics, not founded upon real love of country as a whole, and not in sections, is worthy of admiration. The foundation of all democracy is fraternity, and like Christianity, it is the hope of the world. All great ideals must represent society and not perfect individuals. No man can live in an atmosphere of hate without absorbing some of its qual ities. We must all think in terms of good will, mutual srvice, and see the others do likewise. The Fathers ot tne early church had some well delineated ideas of the most Christian form of fraternity and communal service to each other. They regarded wealth for wealth's sake a great crme.
