i The Chatham THE RECORD IS THE PAPER THAT'S IN EV ERY HOME, AND THE f THE RECORD IS READ EVERY WEEK BY AL MOST EVERY BODY THAT'S ANY BODY. ONLY PAPER IN MANY j HOMES. ESTABLISHED SEPT. 19, 1878. PITTSBORO, N. C, CHATHAM CO., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6. 1922 VOL. XLY NO. 9 Record i LIGHTS TURNED ON BIG EPOCH FOR THE OLD TOWN. Tittsboro Has Earnestly Commanded That There be Light.' AND THERE WAS LIGHT. Meeting Saturday Night Largely At tended and Occasion Enjoyed. The Citizens of Pittsboro were much excited and greatly pleased Friday night about 8 o'clock when the long Lked tor lights were turned on in the dwelling houses, churches and court house. This was done to test the wires and wiring. The younger generation were the ones that appeared the most happy, cheering, singing and enjoying the occasion hugely, although the older people, who had been using the pine knot, dip candle and latest the kero sene lamp, were almost as excited and ploased as the younger set, and a good many stood around and grinned and talked about the lights just like they had been used to them all their lives. But it was a great occasion. Pitts boro people are learning fast of the modern helps. They are appreciating the things that they have seen in the cities lights, water and sewerage and they are porud that their old home town has at last made a start to furnish its citizens with some of these modern conveniences. Let us give credit where credit is due. The Record has preached for years the need of modern inprove ments for lights, for homes for people who wished to come here, and at last it has seen part of its wishes ful filled. Not only has this paper preach ed improvements but others have worked hard, gave their time and money towards pulling Pittsbboro out of the rut and making it a live and growing town. Among them are Dan iel L. Bell, and with him Roscoe Far rell, T. W. Hackney, Jeter Griffin and others of the town commissioners, who have put the old town on the map and have given Pittsboro one of the best lighting plants of any town of its size in the State. Mr. Bell, particularly, has worked hard and faithfully to give us these improve ments, and The Record and all of our citizens extend the glad hand to him and his co-workers in their efforts to give us what we have a long time needed. The names of the present men who are town commissioners will go down in history as being the most progressive of any that ever filled the offices in Pittsboro. Now, in order to see Pittsboro grow it is up to the Chamber of Commerce. Get busy, gentlemen, and let those outside of the State know what we have here in the way of electric pow er, at a nominal cost. Pittsboro needs manufacturing plants and unless the Chamber of Commerce -gets down to business and goes after these plants we will never get them. We have the power now. We have the land and we have much of the kind of material that many plants could utilize in their works. Not on ly that we have plenty of good labor and not so very high priced either. The power from which Pittsboro gets its lights is at Lockville, some 12 miles miles south of town and is owned by the Moncure Manufacturing Company. This Company says they are going to give the town all the power it wants as they are building lines now to connect with other plants in the nearby towns, and when these plants are all connected there will be plenty of electricity for all uses at all times. The Celebration. Saturday night was a big night for the old town when the juice from the plant was turned on at about 7:15 o'clock. The streets were made as light as day and everyone with eyes to see saw that Pittsioro's dream had come true. It was a pretty sight; men women, boys and girls wafting the streets, laughing, chatting all happy. Never in the town's history have the citi zens been so satisfied, for the coming in electricity means much to the town. About 8 o'clock a meeting was held in the court house to give thanks to those workers who have done so much for the town. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Daniel Bell; everybody singing that old familiar song: "Praise God From Whom all Blessings Flow." After which prayer was offered by W. E. Allen. A short talk was then made by Mayor Bell, which was followed by a musical program. Mr. Bell then in troduced several gentlemen who made short talks appropriate to the occa sion. Among them were James L. Griffin, W. T. S. Culp, of the Chau tauqua,, W. P. Horton, president of the Chamber of Commerce, W. D. Linton, electrical engineer, R. L. Lindsay, Walter D. Siler, and others. Everybody present enjoyed the oc casion and went away happy in the thought that this old town, whose eyes had grown dim with age, had taken on a new lease of life, had re gained new eyes and was at last com ing in for her share of modern con veniences.

ScMe-riMES -me lazy TRYAIG TO 6CT AWAY FR.OA A LITTLE EASY WORK?. 7K RECORDETTES Man came in our office during the past week and asked us to say some thing about neighbors borrowing his paper. We told him we had talked about it on former occasions, but he insisted that we say something more. This man said he had subscribed for the paper because ne liked it, and he wanted to read it, but many times be fore he had finished with it, the folks next door sent over and got it, and that was the last of it. Mutter of fact he said, folks ousrht to uav for the paper if they intend to read it, but' my neighbor is a good fellow and I, just naturally regret to tell him he! can't have it. Recently a man came in the office and talked about what we j had in the paper, and we remarked didnt know you were getting the paper now." No, says he. I don't but one of my tenants gets it and I read it every week, and when I finish with it, we sent it to our son who is iiow in South Carolina, and he sents it to to his sister in West Virginia. Well,, folks, you see there are four famil ies reading this favorite, family mag azine each year at the low cost of only one subscription just $1.50. Is n i air : o Our good friend and fellow oublish- er, Herman Steele, of The Lillinglon paper, the Harnett County News, has published our comment in a recent is sue, relative to the snakes in Chat ham, particularly the county seat. Mr. Steele says as "brother Shaw is a tee totaler, we are prepared to e-ive cre dence to this story. We suggest that the town council of Pittsboro give some sober thought to the reptilian menace." 'Zall right now, friend Steele the town fathers have stenne.-l Hmvn .in 11000 volt current of electricity to the proper proportions and now the wiu cow ii i& as wen, ii not oetter, ugnt- ed as some of the larerer towns in North Carolina Dunn for instance- and the snakes are blinded to a fault. o It so happens sometimes that ev erybody knows your business before you learn it yourself. Our landlord recently almost rented the house we are exiting in, because the busy bod ies had moved us back to Pittsboro.

Thomas, who spent the most of the summer at home on ac count of the strike, has returned to Raleigh, where he has begun his work as engineer on the Norfolk & South ern. Rev. J. J. Boone preached another most excellent sermon at Mt. Zion last Sunday. Every sermon he preach es we think is the best. Mrs. N. B. Gunter visited her dau ghter in Sanford, a day or two this week. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Thomas spent a few days in Raeligh last week. The people in this community are "busy as can be trying to get the cotton out before it rains. They have a nne opportunity, for the weather j has been beautiful for those who have cotton. Mrs. W. B. Harper entertained a number of her friends at an old time quilting at her home last Thursday. All enjoyed the quilting, but the most enjoyable of all was the sumptuous dinner served. We had everything im aginable to eat, even to 'possum and taters. It has been a long time since there has been a quilting in this com munity and it brought back pleasant memories to the older ones who had attended them when they were young. Some present had never attended a quilting before. All departed late in the afternoon wishing that Mrs. Harper would have another quilting soon. HE LIVES AT HOME ALRIGHT. Mr. J. N. Johnson, who lives down on route 5, Siler City, is a farmer that is not afraid of the high cost of living, nor the prospects of any advanced prices. He is one of those fellows who raises his own meat, corn, beans, potatoes, chickens, etc He keeps a cow, and m fact he is not de-j pendant upon the merchant for any thing except a little coffee and sugar, once in awhile, and he could do with out the coffee, and he raises a suffic ient amount of sorghum for his syrup, and could get his "sweetnin' " that way. No he does not come to town to buy, except wearing apparrel. Wheni to sell.

Miss Lida Mims and Herman Mims students at Lowes Grove Farm Life school, near Durham, spent the week end here with relatives. We are very glad that Salter Ut ley a. who .hasJaleaaqidtefls several days, is able to be out again. Mrs. B. M. Dickens, little Geneva Marks, little Dan Marks and Mrs. Thomp son were also on the sick list this wek. We hope all will soon be well and strong again. Well, the Chautauqua has come and gone and the program was a good one instructive, entertaining, uplift ing and inspiring. It is impossible to attend a chautauqua and not feel ben efitted by doing so. The strong fea ture of the chautauqua is patriotism and this was stressed especially in the splendid lecture, and it seems that no one could hear these and not have a desire to become a better eitizen a better man or woman. They sound the clarion call to the best and leave one indeed with the determination to try "making dreams come true." The chautauqua is indeed "a canvas cov ered temple of joy and inspiration" and here's hoping that it will be with us again next year. The Sunday school exercises at Buckhorn church were much enjoy ed. The crowd was a record-breaking one. In fact, it seemed more like an "old home" day, so niany people were present. The program was very in teresting. All especially enjoyed the talk by Mr. John Luther on Sunday school. Mr. Luther is a man who prac tices the things he preaches, and one never tires of his views on the Chris tian life. He literally lives the adage that "It is not a question of how long one lives, but how wisely and how well, and his words always carry weight and strike deep into the hearts of his hearers. It was indeed a good day with good music, interesting talks and an abundance of good things to eat. THE DAY OF RETRIBUTION. On Monday night, September 25th, a shortage of about $180 was discov- ered by postmaster Junius Wren of Siler City. The matter was reported to policeman Harris and deputy sher iff Crutchfield and within a few hours Oscar Teer, who had been under sus picion; was arersted, his room search ed and the whole amount of money recovered, Teer confessing the theft. Federal officers from Raleigh were notified and after a preliminary hear ing before U. S. Commissioner Reece, he was bound over to Federal court and being unable to give bond, Teer was taken to Raleigh on Wednesday. AT SANDY BRANCH.

Editor Chatham Record: In ac cordance with a promise I made you before I left Pittsboro for a visit with my son, J. W. Griffin and family, of Elwood, Indiana, will write you a few lines relative to my trip. First, my train from Lynchburg, Va., to Cincinnati, Ohio, was delayed on account of a train of coal cars be ing upset on the main line, and I ar rived at Elwood six hours behind schedule time, but found my son and grand daughter, Helen, at the train to meet me. Elwood is in the midst of a very prosperous farming community where corn an tomatoes are the main crops. These crops, together with hoe and cattle raising, makes prosperous bus iness conditions in this city and ad- Ueining citi8ws Anderson, the coun ty seat of Madison, and Alexandria are only a few miles away. Commer cial tomato growing in Upton and Madison counties is carried on in a large way. Twelve large caning fac tories are necessary to take care of the crop. None of these factories are over fiften miles from Elwood. Some of these packing houses have the ca pacity of packing or canning twenty thousand cans per day. Most of these factories are now running day and night, as the crop is now at its best, but will continue until frost. These tomatoes are sold to packers at $10. per ton. Sometimes as high as twen ty tons are produced from a single acre of ground, so you can see that good crops of of this fruit is a paying proposition. It seems as if enough to matoes are canned here to supply the world. We drove to Anderson, the county seat of Madison, which is some 20 miles away. This is a manufacturing city of about 20,000 population. We were well entertained at the home of relatives of my son's family. On Fri day, Sept. 9, we drove to LaFayette, Ind. Here is located Purdue Univer sity, one of the best vocational schools in the West. Graduates in engineer iner. electrical or civil, command good positions as well as good salaries. At this place is also locatea tne State soldiers home, situated on a hill just west of the Wabash river, which makes a splendid location for drainage and sewerage. Five miles north from the home, and along the banks of the Wabash, is what is known as the Tippecanoe battle ground where, in 1811, a bat tle was fought betwen the Indians and Americans, and the road leading along the river banks is called Te cumsey's Trail as he was head of the Indian tribe at that time. However, ! he was not in the fighting of this I particular battle. An Indian who was trying to wrest the leadership from Tecumsev. at that time had charge. He sent a small band of his men to engage the Americans and instruct ed them when the fighting began to fall back and draw the white men in to the Indian lines, but the white men did not fall for this piece of strategy. They fell back west of an elevation and went into camp in a ravine for the night. Early next morning the Indians, intending to surprise the white men, made a charge but were met by the white men who took charge of the elevated position and won a complete victory after losing 47 men, who were buried in a trench on the elevated spot where now stands a fine marble monument to the mem- ory Gf those gallant soldiers who 1 - . . t j.l l 1- i. ; iougnt so vaiiantiy unuer sucn wms cicumstnaces.

I have been enjoying my stay in Indiana and have met many good people while here, and friendships have been made that I shall not soon forget. My visit is now about out and I am thinking of my return to the old North State of which I am, and which above all others, I love best. Good bye. J. D. GRIFFIN. Elwood, Ind., September22, 1922. Miss Mollie Brown, of Selma, has been here on a visit to Mrs. Roscoe Ferrell. , - - SIDE STREET GOSSIP. By Joe Foreman. -g- -- There is just no use talking it has not rained in these parts for more than two weeks and evervbodv and everything has about dried up. The turnips that I almost broke my back fixing for, have not half come un and the fall potatoes that I planted, have done no good. It looks like a mighty slim chance for anything to eat at our house this fall. The dust has been so bad, where they have been tearing up the roads this summer, that you can hardly tell which way to go when you get out. It is hard on anybody, but a man like me who has had a touch of hay fever most all his life anyway, it just lays out. Speaking of diseases, it always has been strange to me that folks have to have so much pain and suffering in the world. For instance you take me. I don't suppose that I have had a well day in thirty years, and I am not by myself. Of course I know there is a lot of people who complain when there is nothing much the matter with them. Bill Watson is always setting about telling how bad off he was the night before and what mis ery he has in his shoulder right then, but I have observed that when there is somewhere to go he is never too bad off to go especially if somebody else will foot the expenses. It is a whole sight easier to complain and get out of a lot of hard work some times, than to buck up, shoulder re sponsibility and do your bit in this world. There are plenty of folks in this town that could be taken oft with some of their imiginary ills and never be missed, except by those who have had to listen to their complaining all these years and wait on them. There is a lot of misery and trouble in this life and we all have to have our share, and it is mighty hard for some of us to get along without a little complain ing but if you have to complain, tell the doctor he gets pay for listening to your tale of woe, or is supposed to and the world don't care so much after all where your pains are located. As soon as it gets time of year for frost, possums, simmons and such, I will be getting better of my hay fev er and we will all feel a littis more like doing something. I will be glad to see all the fall work over and a fellow have a little time to get out and see the neighbors. I am glad that corn shuckings and such have not gone plumb out of style for it gives some of us the best chance to get good square meals and at the same time find out what is going on in the com munity. I don t have enough corn to make a regular shucking but I do en joy getting out and miss having to milk and doing up the night work at home once in a while. "Youl never hear much complaining from Bill or any of the rest when there is plenty of good things to eat around. DOINGS AROUND MONCURE. Moncure, Oct. 2. The Radcliffe Chautauqua left Moncure last Satur day morning for Pittsboro, after giv ing three days of pleasure and amuse ment and leaving many good thoughts for the people of Moncure. It will be at Brickhaven next year, so near to Moncure, that anyone who wishes to go can easily attend Last Saturday evening a birthday party was given in honor of Miss Katherine Hackney. Many of her friends were present and they spent an enjoyable evening. She received many nice presents. Dr. Williams, of Jonesboro, who was pastor of the Moncure Baptist church at one time, died last Monday and was buried at Jonesboro last Tuesday. He was 62 years of age and was a well read man as well as a good preacher. He died from the effects of the Flu. Mr. Frank Money died in the hospit al at Raleigh last Friday and was buried at Haywood cemetery last Sunday afternoon. He was injured in a railroad accident a few years ago and never fully recovered from the injury. Mr. J. L. Womble has completed his new store and postoffice building and has moved into it. Misses Blanche Williams and Stella Ray, of Durham, spent the day in Moncure last Sunday. School opened today in the new school building with good enrollment, The teachers for this year are H. G. Self, of Siler City, high school work; Mrs. W. W. Stedman, of Moncure, 6th and 7th grades; Mrs. H. G. Self, of Siler City, 3rd, 4th and 5th grade work; Miss Reda Umstead, Stem, N. C, 1st and 2nd grade work; There will be no school tomorrow, in order that the children may attend the Chat ham County Fair in Siler City. Wednesday morning, Oct. 4th, will be the main opening of the school. All the parents of the school are in vited to attend and Prof. W. R. Thompson is invited to make a talk at that time. The new school building is about completed and everything is so nice and convenient. There has been 850 auditorium seats bought from the Academy of Music in Raleigh, for the auditorium. THE RUEBOTTOM RIFLE. It will be remembered that some time ago we made inquiry about the Simon Ruebottom rifle. We learn that it is now in the possession of Mr. J. F. Gilliland, on Bennett Rt. 1, he having bought it at the sale of his father, some 12 years ago. Mr. Gilli land is the oldest son of the late Squire Joseph A. Gilliland. The rifle will be on exhibition at the Fair this week, included in the Bennett collec tion. Be sure to see it. Is Margaret Sick? Mr. John W. Hill will soon have Margaret Lane in condition to be used while new surface is being built on the main street to Depot. Hillsboro corrsepondent to Alamance Observer.

The one hundred and sixty-fourth session of the Sandy Creek Baptist Association which met with Rocky River church from Thursday through Sunday, was perhaps the most large ly attended in many years. All the old officers were re-elected Victor John son, moderator; J. Q. Seawell, clerk; Connely Smith, It was decided to hold the next meeting at Moncure at the same time as it has heretofore been held, on the first Thursday before the first Sunday in October. On Thursday the opening sermon was preached by C. E. Boyd, of Sax- apahaw, following devotional exer cises by John C. Kidd. Following this the officers were elected, a letter of Rocky River church of a historical nature was read and adjournment was had for dinner. In the afternoon H. F. Way conduct ed devotional exercise, committees were appointed and reports heard on missions. For state by I. P. Frazier; home by W. M. Gilmore and foreign by R. P. 'Johnson. In addition to mis cellaneous business O. B. Mitchell dis cussed Christian literature. On Friday morning John E. Ays- cue conducted the opening eercises, being followed by W. H. H. Lawhon, G. C. Phillips and R. F. Paschal on Association Missions and Christian Education, respectively. After miscel- aneous business, adjournment for din ner followed. In the afternoon L. C. Lee opened the meeting with prayer and was fol- owed by H. F. Seawell, W. T. Hurst, H. W. Williams, Mrs. J. U. Gunter, Mrs. C. N. Bray on Sunday schools, orphanage and woman's work, respect ively. Saturday, both morning and alter- noon was taken up with discusions on prayer meetings, Christian Cit izenship, Sabbath Observance, Minis ter's Relief, Young Peoples Societies, Prohibition and miscellaneous mat ters. Those speaking were O. A. Kel ler, C. C. Poe, R. H. Dixon, F. M. Gardner, O. B. Mitchell, D. B. Teague, R. S. Fountain, C. C. Jones and J. S. Wrenn. On Sunday morning after Sunday school was held an address on Sun day school work was made by E. L. Middleton and a sermon preached by Walter M. Gilmore. In the afternoon G. E. Lineberry made an address. The meeting was full of spirit, the attendance above the average and much business of importance to the Baptist denomination was transact ed. . n MILK COWS, PASTURES, ETC. j Cow For Every Farm, Pasture for Ev ery Cow, Fence for Every Pasture. (C. R. Hudson, State Ex. Service.) Milk is not only an economic food but it is the only food that contains all the elements necessary to sustain life and build the body. No child has ever yet been arised without milk from some source, and since sixty per cent of all children grown in America are raised on cow's milk it is highly important that we have an adequate supply. Dr. McCollum, one of our best nu trition experts says that the people who have achieved, who have become large, strong, vigorous people, who have reduced their infant mortality, who have the best trades in the world, who have an appreciation of art, lit erature and music, and who are pro gressive in science, and in every ac tivity of the human intellect, are the people who have used milk and its products liberally. It is known, therefore, that we should have a more abundant supply of milk. This can be had in a measure by buying more milk cows, and espec ially by saving the heifer calves and taking care of them. The caution here is to observe first, to get pastures for this increased live stock. Right now is the time to plant fall sown pas tures. Every farmer who needs pas tures, and a large per centage of them have one at present, should not over look this important feature of diver sified farming. Write to your Agricultural Exten sion Service at Raleigh, for informa tion as to seed mixtures, details of planting and other things connected with the matter. o Miss Hannah Hobby, aged about 72 years, mother of Thomas Hobby who lives near Bynum, died at her home near Mt. Pleasant church Wednesday of last week and was buried at Mt. Pleasant cemetery. She was an up right Ghristian lady and had many friends who will regret to hear of her death.
