OBSERVATIONS ON THE WAY
W. J. Budd Writes an Interesting Let
ter of Trip.
Kaufman Texas, August 4, 1922
Editor Herald: Like other old farm
ers.who have spent their span of life
practically in Chatham county, and
when they take a trip, like to tell
their experiences through the colums
of your paper, so I crave your indul
gence and the indulgence of your
readers while Tf relate the observations
tftaX were mfne on my way to Kauf
man Texas.
Leaving Siler City at 2:42 p.m.
W ednesday, July 26th. I arrived at
Kaufman Tex. Friday at 8:42 p. m.
Coming by the way of Greensboro,
Atlanta, Birmingham, Memphis, Lit
tle Rock and Dallas. Being no artist
1 could not feast upon the kaleidscopic
panaroma that flitted by my window
ii i i . .
as me express rusneci on, westward
Ho: nor could I muse with philoso
phic depths of mentality upon whys
and wherefores of the upheavels of
the terrain. However when I surround
ed the foot hills of the Appalachian
Mountains, Anniston Ala., I could not
help musing that same mountain chain
crept on northward through N. C. W.
Va., and finally found its origin on
one ot the thousand ot the St. Lawren
ce islands while English civilization
developed on the Seaboard.
When I passed through Atlanta, I
remembered Henry W. Grady and I
said to myself, if that great soul could
be privileged again to utter forth the
sentiments of his intellect, he could
again make another speech on the
"New South".
In Birmingham, I saw thousands of
coke ovens sputtering and boiling out
pig iron with human ingenuity hat
spanned continents, cabled oceans and
plowed the turbluent waves to carry
on the comerce of the world.
At Memphis our coaches crept
acros the great Father of waters.
The porter opened up the observation
so I could see the biggest river on the
North American continent. In fancy
I lived in the past. I was looking or.
the waters of the struggles of Mar
quette, and Joliet; De Soto and La
Salle. To the North I looked towards
the origin of Canada; I looked to the
south where it feeds the Gulf of Mex
a new moon hung low in the heavens
and I mused how that on just such s
night in an eddy on this river slept
Evangeline while her much sought
lover, Gabriel, went from her foreve:
Many such nights by this very stream
stalwart youths wooed dusky maidens
before the advent of Europeans
and musing, I could hear the love
songs of the negros on the plantation
in the days before civilization drench
ed the South with her own blood.
I slept through Arkansas the joke1
of the west. In Little Rock I sawthe
State House, a beautiful building ir?
a beautiful town. All the following
morning I traversed North-East Tex
as which has no allurements save tc.
one who desires to hide. But near
noon I left the rough lands and be
gan in the prairie country. It was
then I noticed a vast improvement
in farming. Great fields of cotton, as
for as the eye could see, stretched out
on either side of the road. At inter
vals, well builded farm houses sur
rounded by two room tenant houses
which are relics of by-gone days. WeL
built and well kept highways follow
the railroad. On these pikes are con
stant streams of motor vehicles pas
senger and freight. Because in Texas
jitney lines and truck transfer com
panies ply between towns of fiftj'
miles distance. "John Henry" has car
ried Texas by a landslide, but during
a day one will see practically everj
American make of car and some for
eign models. When Texas was crowd
ed out of the cowboy saddle, she flop
ped into a Ford, or some other motoi
vehicle. A horse and buggy are rare.
I stopped for awhile in Dallas, th
metropolis of the southwest. Here or.
the banks of the Trinity river where
three score and ten years ago, Red
men shot buff aloes, live population of
more than two hundred thousand peo
ple. And town dudes shoot craps an?
pool in thirty one story buildings.
Here also is the home of that great
Baptist preacher, George W. Truett.
I am now with my two sons and
having a good time except for the
heat. It Ts Rot and dry here. But by
sitting on a cake of ice near an elec
tric fan, eating water melon, I am
keeping fairly comfortable.
With best wishes for my old Chat
ham friends, I am
Yours very truly,

IN MEMORIAM.
Published by Request.
On Sunday, July 26, 1922, God
in his infinite wisdom saw fit to call
to his eternal home the spirit of our
beloved friend and relative, Harold
Jones, aged about z years, wno died
at a hospital in Sanford during an
operation. We feel that a true and
earnest friend has departed from our
midst. Therefore since earthly ties
are broken, let us not murmur, but
meekly bow to the will of our Father.
His young life was bright and happy,
and he numbered his friends by the
score. He was ever ready to lend a
helping hand to anyone who was in
trouble in any way. Although we
deeply miss his presence among us,
we should not grieve but bow in hum
ble submission to Him who doeth all
things well. He has left a kind and
devoted father, mother and brother,
and we weep with them in their sad
bereavement and may they hear the
voice of Jesus saying "My grace is
sufficient" and may we bow in humil
ity to Him who gives life and who
takes it away, and may He in mercy
bind up the broken hearts of his
loved ones and sustain them in this
hour of sorrow.
"'Tis finished, all is finished,
The flight with death and sin;
Throw open wide the golden gates
And let the visitors in."
A RELATIVE.
Mrs. Matilda Paschal, Oldesl Person
in Chatham County, is Bfead.
. i i
Mrs. Matilda Paschal, Chatham
county's oldest citizen, died at her
home near Siler City, on Tuesday
morning, August Sth, 1922, at about
9 o'clock, following an illness which
was the result of her sustaining a
broken leg several weeks before.
Mrs. Paschal, who had been a wo
man of unusual health, would have
been 100 years old on the 17th day
of March, 1923, and it was the great
desire of her multitude of friends and
relatives that she would at least live
to round out the century mark.
Shd was born in Siler City and had
never resided elsewhere. Last year
she voted for the first time, being car
ried to the voting precinct in an au
tomobile. Mrs Paschal possibly had the largest
number of living descendants of any
woman in the United States, there
being eight children, 50 grand-children,
57 great-grand-children, and two
great-great-grand children, a total of

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS
The Gem Theater Puts on a Good
Picture, Everyone Should See.
Probably there was never a better
picture brought to Siler City than
that secured by Mr. Roberts for the
Gem Theater next Friday and Sat
urday nights. It is full of interest
from tne very first reel and will be
enjoyed by all who are privileged to
see it.
"Where is my Wandering Boy To
night" has attracted a great deal of
interest wherever it has been shown,
and those who fail to see it here will
possibly regret it.
The admission has been made at
25c. and 35c. while at every other
place it has been produced, the charge
has never been so low, in most in
stances being more than $1.00.
In speaking of the production in
New York, the Evening Journal said:
"The picture has been well produced.
Exciting jail delivery and attendant
heroism on part of boy is highly ef
fective; photography notable; pic
ture possesses dignity, interest and in
telligent production."
ABOUT THE WORMS.
Dear Mr. Shaw: I noticed Mr. Cot
ton's statement in regard to a strange
worm which was eating up the leaves
of certain trees. I wrote the State En
tomologist for authorative informa
tion and sent him a speenmen. He
stated that it was an ordinary worm
of the caterpillar type that happened
to appear this year in abnormal num
bers, as insects often do. He stated
further it was not harful to crops and
there would be another generation In
September, but not likely so numer
ous. Moncure, Aug. 9, W,W.STEDMAN

Her husband, Richard Paschal, was

It is mighty fine to take a vacation
when a fellow needs it, but it is my
opinion that it is the change of dis
position rather than a different loca
tion that most of us need. I have been
rusticating up here in the wilds of
Western North Carolina for more
than two weeks, and I haTe had a
very fine time but I was just raying
today for all of this, it don't beat be
ing up on the river down home about
corn shucking time. It has been my
observation that it is nut the hot
weather that is the trouble with lots
of folks but they just naturally re
sent having to work to make a living.
It is a great pity that some mens'
families or friends refuse to support
them all of the time. I have no ob
jection to taking a little recieation
once and awhile we need i- and most
folks don't get enough any way, but
this business of thinking you must
run off somewhere to get poorly cook
ed rations and hard oeds to sleep on
just so you can keep up with some of
your high speed neighbors, is all bosh.
It would do a sight more good in the
way of recreation and not cost near so
much in time and money to just cake
the family out for a day or two in
some quiet place and enjoy yourself
and get a new view point of life.
There is no use trying to keep up with
high speeders as long as taxes come
due in November and other things
sooner, and you have only so much to
meet it all and you know that there
is no likelihood of any body dieing oft
and leaving you a fortune to throw
away. The crowd that was up here
lastwfifik claim that they had a mighty
big time and I will say that I cer
tainly enjoyed having them but I
won't be suprised if some of them will
have a bad taste in their mouth when
the first of the month comes 'round.
Very few of these automobiles will
run on reputation alone and none of
these hotels are in the business for
fun.
I will be coming back to town short
ly. The rest of them, can stay as long
as they want . I miss seeing the folks
around the store and am anxious to
know what is going on. After all, the
pleasure we get out of life is just
what we put in it. If we spend most
of our time fault finding and seeing
just how disagreeable we can be those
with whom we are most intimately
associated, it will be no wonder that
we will be taking a vacation. The
chances are that we will be ordevou
away, and not by the doctor either
It is a good thing that the "season"
as they call it don't last more than
six months of the year for if it did
we would not get even half done the
tasks assigned us. As for me I am
glad that there is work to be done
and that the American people take
a pride in doing things really worth
while. As I was saying, vacations are
all right but recreation is better unless
you can get both at once. The old
saying "Work while you work and
play while while you play" has not
yet been improved upon and I am al
ways glad for folks to get a little
time off once and awhile.

WILSON BURNS INJURED.
While working on the lower part
of the new bridge, now being built
over Haw River, at Haw River Sta
tion, Wilson Burns, was seriously in
jured on Friday. An axe was dropped
from above and it struck Mr. Burns
in the head, passing through the
skull and into the brain.
He was taken to a hospital in Bur
lington where treatment was given
him. It is thought he will pull through
alright, but at present he is paralyzed
on one side from the effects of the
injury.
Wilson is well known here where
he was raised, and much sympathy is
extended to his parents and other reU
atives in Chatham.
