RECORDETTES
A few days aaro the state naners
and the local papers in Rebeson coun
ty, carried an account of the death of
M. G. McKensie. The editor of this
paper knew him well, and as he read
the account of his death and useful
career, we were carried back a num
ber of years when we sojourned in
Maxton and was associated with Gas
ton McKenzie in the publishing of
The Scottish Chief. He was a typical
Scotchman and true to every virtue.
He served his adopted county well as
a newspaper editor, later becoming
the treasurer of Robeson. It was back
in the years of 1897-98-99 when we
abided in his home and learned to love
his good family, the town of Maxton
and the maiden across the street. Dick,
jsen, r-ercy, May, Meta and "Miss Ida"
were all home folks to us and as kind
and gentle as Scotch folks could be to
an orphan boy and deep into our
hearts is yet the memory of the oleas
ant hours we spent in their home and
in the town. Peace to his ashes.

The editorial staff of some of our
exchanges has its scissors fiend who
clips and uses without credit a trreat
er or less number of items that have
been carried in this paper. Well.there
is an allowance, of considerable lat
itude, as news items become common
property after they have been once
published. But the practidfe of plagi
arism is the primary sense of the term
is a discredit to any newspaper, the
plagiarist gives as original that which
belongs to another and which can be
used without credit only by theft. The
daily papers of North Carolina very
frequently quote our paper and be it
to their everlasting credit, we are giv
en due consideration for its origin a

O
In the home of the editor is what
is now commonly known as a "Radio."
His young son, Gilbert, some few
years ago became enamored with the
"wireless" fever and since that time
has devoted considerable energy to
mastering wavelengths, detector bulbs,
aerials, switches, battery boxes, static,
click keys, diagrams, coils, grounds,
connections, broadcasting, charging,
and a hundred other things with which
we are not m common and the task
of listening to all of these things are
worse than a man who has ust ac
quired his first horseless carriage. It
is true that night after night we lis
ten to Pittsburg, Atlanta, Des Moines,
Schenectady, Detroit, Kansas City,
Chicago, and all of the other "broad
casting" stations, but it is alarming
just what enthusiasm a young fellow
can put in to an infant discovery. He
is proud of the fact that he has the
only one at present in Chatham coun
ty and says he is the pioneer for Sil
er City. We hope, after long suffering
listening to the tecnical terms of this
little apparatus, that we may get
something of value to tell our readers
just what happened. The November
election returns, if nothing else.
RADIO At"tHE FAIR
The secretary of the Chatham Coun
ty Fair, to be held in Siler City on
October 3, 4, 5 and 6, has arranged
with Gilbert Shaw ro nave on exhi
bition during the fou. days, a radio
outfit for the benefit of the many
people who may have never seen one
of the instruments and those who
do not know how the machine is op
erated, or ef its purpo.se cr cons' auc
tion. It is very pr.oable that at many
times during the day, it will te pos
sible to hear the musical conceits,
market repots or other conversation
over it. However, this is not guaran
teed. But whether you hear over it or
not, you will be enabled to get a good
idea of the working condition of these
instruments aud this in itself will be
of benefit to you.
The radio, as is generally known,
is nothing mo.-e or )ecs than a wire
less telephone instrument, upon which
you can hear anything that is being
sent from radio broadcas-ng flattens
anywhere in the United States.
Young Shaw has studied this inven
tion incessantly for several years
and has about mastered us nr.ich of
it as anyone and, will be qualified to
give any explanation that wili be de
manded of him at the Fair.
Evervone should make an effort
to see the instrument, and if -possible
hoar over it. At the .night sessions of
the Fair it will be (more than prob
able f hat the instrument will furnish
amusement for those who are fortu
nate enough to be there in hearing I
concerts m nttsourg, Cincinnati, At
lanta, Kansas City and Louisvile, Ky.

C. N. GUNTER IN CHATHAM.
Speaks to a Large Congregation at
Zion A.M.E. Church at Haywood
The above well known negro edu
cator has been engaged for work in
Chatham county during the ensuing
school year. He will have eharze 0
the negro school at Haywood. This
1 t 511 1 .
scnooi win occupy a large iour room
Rosenwald building located on the
.National highway.
Prof. Gunter comes to Chatham
under the highest recommendations
and it will be his purpose not only
to conduct an efficient school under its
present organization, but to eniarere
and develop it into a Countv Teacher
1 raining and Industrial School simi
liar to the one he organized at Meth
od, Wake county, and which is now
aoing a spienoid woric lor the ne
groes of that county. Hunter founded
that school and was its principal for
eight years, ip to 1917, when he re
signed to enter the war work. He
was assigned to a responsible position
in the JNorfoHc Wavy yard under Sec
retary Jasephus Daniels, which he oc
cupied until displaced by the ehange
m National Administration. He imme
diately returned to his home state and
re-entered the educational field, be
ing appointed director of the Summer
bchool for Rockingham county, teach
ing in Wake during the fall and win
ter.
Prof. Hunter addressed a large
gathering of his race after the morn
ing service last Sunday, particularly
stressing the fine opportunity now
presented the negroes, not only for
literary education, but for industrial
training as well. He urged the negroes
that they must help themselves to
the point of sacrifice. - They can get
help in enlarging their school only
as they give practical evidence of a
disposition to help themselves. He in
sured them of the kindly interest
of the white people m their advance
ment along these lines. They will give
aditional help m proportion as we
show that we deserve such heln. Thev
cannot help unless we are willing to
help them in helping us.
ihe address produced a profound
impression and .. the general, unani
mous response was cheering. It is the
gurpose of the school committee to
egin at once to raise $1000 to be paid
into the county treasury to assist in
enlarging the school at Haywood
Into a county training and industrial
school. In this effort they will seek
the entire citizenship of Chatham
county, as far as it can be reached.
The associate editor of The Record
knows Charles N. Hunter well, having
known him in his boyhood days, and
he has always been an honest, straight
forward negro, working for the best
interest of his race. He is well educat
ed and has many friends in his home
county of Wake. The colored people
of Chatham would do well to listen
and take his advice.

Mr. S. P. Teague was in our Siler
City office on Friday of last week and
showed us a! letter he had received
from the sheriff, acknowlegeing re
ceipt ofhis remittance for 1922 tax.
Mr. Teague sent this in on the 15th.
Wo envs that if evervone would pay
their tax as soon as the sheriff getsJ
the books, it would save the county
many thousands of dollars each year,
both in interest and discount.
SIDE STREET GOSSIP.
By Joe Foreman.
-(g)-
-g-
Ddwn at the store the other morn
ing, Bill Watson was tellincr of a fam
ily row that was over in his part of
me town. He never called any names
but all knew who he was meaning- Hp
ioia me not to say anything about it as
it was not general newsandhe honed
it wouio not get out. Bill said he knew
the whole town would be on it and I
thought as much with the headway
it had, with Bill going about telling
it. come tnings snouia be put to a
stop but it never occurred to me that
Bill was the man to straighten that
crowd out and 1 am thinking that it
is not half as bad as he has put it. It
always was stransre to me that somp
ioiks can't ever see anything but the
bad in others. Most of the time, there
is absolutely no foundation, to the
tales you hear about folks. Many a
man or woman has been deliberately
iieu tuuut anu ineir cnaracter m the
commuity damaged all on account of
some busy body telling something,
and some honest people takinc it as
the truth. It has been my observation
that when somebody has some thine
to tell very confidential of course
and with the understanding that you
are not to repeat it. you will do we
to pass him up and that right now,
j. no cnances are, mat mere is no
foundation for truth in it. There is
so muchgood and so many good things
we can tell about our town and our
neighbors that it is a poor come-off
to be telling the bad especially when
nineteen times out of twenty, it is
a. lie lu uejnn wiin.
This is no worse and a whole sieht
better off, than most places I know of
and if there is anybody here who don't
like our folks' anyway and can't see
the good in their neighbors, I for one,
wouw De giad to see them moving out.
When it comes to real, genuine. Dure
blood American stock, we have it and
there is no better place on earth to
live than right here. Most any of us,
have been guilty of miners we oucrht
to be ashamed of if we are not and
it is no use to try to dig up and stir
up something about our neighbors.
The gossiper is almost always the
one who has something to cover up
a good rule is to steer shy of him. The
Pot can't call the Kettle black and it
is a mighty good rule to put down as
a lie, what you hear told that might
damage a neighbor. Don't beleive any
tmng you near and not half what you
see and you won't miss the mark very
far.

AT THE HOME OF MRS. SILER.
The seventy-second birthday of
Mrs. H. H. Siler was .fittingly cele
brated September 24th at her home
northeast of town by the gathering
of scores of her friends and rela
tives laden with bountifully filled
baskets which they unloaded upon a
long table underneath the native oaks
which surround the country home of
this good woman. An outstanding
feature of the dinner, which was one
of the most sumptuous seen in this
section, was a beautifully decorated
cake bearing 72 tiny candles in rose
bud holders with "L.M.S. 1850-1822"
done in pink lettering on the white
icing.
Rev. Richard S. Fountain invoked
divine blessing upon the occasion and
spoke words of appreciation of Mrs.
Siler and her life as did also P. H.
Elkins and R. D. Smith, the last two
referring in their remarks to the use
fulness and influence of the late H.
H. Siler, who during his day was one
of the county's foremost teachers.
