THE POTATOES GET LARGER. Sad Death of Two Children Other Local News of Corinth. Corinth, Oct. 30. Mrs. R. S. Ash worth, of Varina, is spending some time at Corinth while her father, Mr. T. H. Buchanan is sick. All this newspaper talk about Chat ham's big sweet potatoes is not all talk. Wake county, Lee county and all the other counties will have to iome again or else they lose the prize mon ey for the biggest potato. We even have our good friend, Prof. K. P. Johnson, of Pittsboro, beat on ' big" sweet potatoes. For on last Thursday (too late for the Fair) the Buekhom "bunch" dug potatoes, and brought in one well proportioned potato that weighed just 9 pounds. Thev dug 8 out of the patch that would make more than a bushel. No, we are not advertising seed po tatoes or slipo for next year's mark et. Who's next? On last Thursday Robert Goodwin, the two year-old son of C. N. God win passed away. The little r'e'bw had been ski: for sometime with stom ach troab'e. Mr. and Mrs. Goodw.n have iJie si-jrj-e sympathy of us all in their loss an- hieavenic-nt. Then on the me day we heard of the sad and untimely death of the year old daughter cf Carl Du.-.r, near Coaxbury. The little girl fell into an old web. M.T4. D.er hurried nut and went down the well and got Ivor oit but the child was drowned in ?;ote of the mother s her -ic elort.s 1o sae its life. Last Saturday night the Corinth school teachers pulled off a successful and profitable Hallowe'en party. .Af ter a spooky-looking ghost drill by the pupils and some music, Miss. Morris brought out about 6 tempting "tea cakes, (we call them cookies,) each cake with two strings tied to it, just the same length. Then the little girls and boys paired off and at a given signal, each contestant put the end of the string in his or her mouth and began to "take in." And the one that got to the tea cake first got the prize. Some fun it was esepcially when Jim Dickens and Avery Ausley both reached their cake at the same time, bumbed noses, grabbed the one cake with their teeth and broke it in two for a tie. One little girl reached out with her tongue and "took in" string, just like a calf reaching out for a nubbin. No wonder women can talk when they gorw lp with tongues ;ike that. Mr. T. H. Buchanan is uite sick," as a result, of a bruise or rising on his hand becoming i rected. Roy Buchanan Is at home for a week from his woik in Raleigh, while his father is unable to ;e out. Mr. J. A. Jones and Miss Gertrude Yearby, of Raleigh, spent the week end with friends at Buekhom. The Cross school opened last Mon day with Mrs. D. A. Dark as teacher, but the Truth school is still without a teacher. OIL LAMP CAUSES EXCITEMENT. Other Local News of Interest From Oakland Township. Moncure, Rt. 2, Oct. 30. Miss Lu cile Thomas, who is going to school at Sanford, spent the week-end with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Thomas. Henry Harward, who is working in Raleigh, spent the week-end with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Har ward. Miss Inez Blake, of Pittsboro, spent the week-end with Miss Emma Lee Knight. Mrs. A. B. Gunter, Percy and Les sie Gunter spent Saturday in San ford shopping. J. R. Knight, of Raleigh, spent Sunday with his parents. Friday night in the home of W. B. Knight a very exciting event took place. The family retired early and about two hours later Mrs. Knight's brother, who is with them now, was awakened by cartridges firing in the room. He got up and the whole cor ner of the room seemed to be in a flame. There were about twenty-five cartridges nearby and all were fired. They soon extinguished the fire, and the only damage done was a few min or things that were on the dresser. The fire is supposed to have gotten its start from an oil lamp that it was thought had been put out before re tiring. KNITTING MILL TO OPERATE. After having shut down since last March, the hosiery mill in Siler City will begin operations this week. The owner, Mr. L. L. Wrenn, has leased the mill to E. C. Stone, of East Durham, who operates a chain of mills in this section of the state. J. R. Jordan, a former superintend ent will return here with his family Wednesday and will again be asso ciated with the mill. The announcement will be received with interest as this enterprise will employ about two score hands and thus give employment to a number of girls who have been idle since last Spring. The output of the mill at the time of its closing was 1250 dozen pairs of half hose per week. DE'aTH OF MR. BRYAN. David Bryan died at his home in the o;iv wno coition nn Mondav nieht.

We are running an independent paper and making an effort to be fair to everyone.

For the benefit of all those who would like to know correctly, we are publishing the ticket in full this week of both the democrats and repub licans. Democratic.

Ashcraft, since was stricken and I came to the desk he so long had occupied as editor of The Enquirer. For weeks after the har ness, by a trick of fate, had been thrown across my shoulders, few sub scribers would pay their subscriptions fo ra whole year. "Lemme have the paper for four months," was said with an air that plainly showed that was as long as they thought I would last These same subscribers are now com ing with a whole year's subscription, saying, '"We like your paper." Ana they'll never know how much I love them for it. Folks, there's a world of difference between a subscriber and an adver tiser to a newspaper man. The for mer takes the paper because he likes it the latter uses it because of more or less necessity to reach the people to help him sell goods. A case in point : A number of years ago the Hin- quirer and one of its best paying ad vertisers had a disagreement Been so long ago I don't remember which was right both, I guess as is usual in a controverssy. Anyway the adver tiser pouted for two or three weeks. So did The Enquirer. At last we got together. Said the advertiser: "Boys? I need your paper. Clegg and 1 were quick to see the opportunity, and told him, "You've nothing on us we need you." And tor a quarter ot a century it was CI egg's and my pleasure to see the Belk Brothers Dr. John M. and Henrv grow into merchant princes thev have become in the Carolinas. And the owners of the Enquirer will always look back with pleasure to the days when tvo Union county boys orphans at first with little money and tew triends, opened a small store on the mam street 01 Monroe, and by hard work and fair dealing have succeeded in amassing an honorable fortune. IMPRESSED WITH SILER LETTER Mr. Editor: I enjoyed reading Mr. John Haywood Siler's letter in lest week's Herald. I like it because it breathes the true Christian spirit of unselfishness and devotion to every cause that is good, pure and clean. If onlv we had enough men of this type, we might rest assured that both our churches and country wouia ne saved from the hands of political trix ters and hypocritical demagogues of all kinds. But, Mr. Editor, we must admit that most of us are so tied up with the foolish and perishing things of the world, that we have but little time to give to the more important things of the Christian life. W. T. DORSETT. TO PREACH AT SANDY BRANCH. Rev. 0. B. Mitchell will preach at Sandy Branch Baptist church next Sunday, November 5th at 11 o'clock in the" morning.

They call them husking bees now days, so I learn, but when I was a boy it was corn shucking, and corn shuckings they were, I am telling you. Everybody was invited for miles around and everybody, came and the corn was all shucked ;and everything cleaned up before we went home. Them shucking suppers can never be usually a sneep kiiibu arm men me women folks had punkin pies and such by the stack. It took some ra- tions but everything was plentiful any way and there was -always a big crowd. Alter supper was over, we cleaned up the lot arid had the old time square dance, andiiafter midnight after the girls got hmne, we would take a 'possm hunt irthe wind was right. It seems that yodng folks now don't take much to the way it was carried on in them days. Automobiles and such make most folks lazy any way. Girls nowdays would not think of walking four or five miles home after a big corn shucking frolic. And frolics they were in my time. They don't have anything of that sort these days. Maybe the young folks have just as big a time but it is certain they have nothing on .the old timers. I am just back from up on the river where I went to be at Jim Young's shucking. I havent missed one of Jims shuckings since he begUn farming for himself just before he was married. Jim has a good crop. Of course he has not done so much of the work but he has good help and the boys are putting head as well as muscleinto the farm work. Jim is willing to learn abetter way to do a thing but after all you can't discount experience. It is some times a hard master but it is thro' experience that we get most we learn. You can tell some folks never to put a plow in ground too wet but they have to rassle with clods about three years before they know when the ground is too wet. We are all more or less hard headed and it takes a club with knots on it to get leally simple things to sink in. All this is true with farming for I have been all along there but when it comes to politics everything is dif ferent. Experience or precedent don't count. They just blaze away and if they hit it is all right. If they fail they can only fail. There has been lit le electioneering done around here so iar as 1 nave seen or neara. 1 have gotten but one cigar and that from a fellow who isn't running for any thing this year. I suppose they are beating around in the bushes to be sure that none of the good men and true and women too you know are in hiding. Just one more week and the tale will be told. Some of the crowd will be left out but it is noth ing more than they are "expecting I suppose.. All the office seekers can't get the jobs. There isn't enough to go 'round. BUILDINGS GOING UP. Wrenn Gilmore is having erected a five-room house on Nooe street, and B. M. Poe a six-room bungalow on west street. Brick are now being haul ed for the erection of a filling sta tion to be built on the comer of west street and the court house square, near the old blacksmith shop. It will be owned by Dr. W. B. Chapin and Walter Johnson, and will be up-to-date. The capacity of the tank will be 8000 gallons and a pipe line will be run from the depot. Water for use at the station will be pumped from the creek. Pittsboro is moving along. JITNEY TO RALEIGH. A gentleman from Merry Oaks, whose name we were unable to learn, was in Pittsboro on Monday with his jitney truck. He is contemplating put ting on a jitney line either form San ford by the way of Pittsboro, or di rect from Pittsboro to Haleigh and return. We did not learn how soon the line would be in operation, but we believe it would be a paying investment.The truck is quite a large one and will seat 12 or 15 people. WHO CAN TELL US ? There has been returned to the Secretary of the Chatham County Fair two letters, containing checks for premiums, one addressed to E. Farlow, Siler City, Route 5 and the other to Mrs. C. H. Welch, Siler City. If these parties will call at our office or send in their correct address, the checks will be promptly forwarded to them. Anyone knowing the correct address of either of the parties named will please let us know. The editor spent last Friday at his home town, Fayetteville, N. C. We were received with open arms and we were delighted to see the march of progress this good city is making. ORGANIZE A BETTERMENT. Sixth and Seventh Grades Organize a Society Local News.
