Will Discusss The Query on Railway Labor Boards. Chapel Hill, Nov. 27. The query for the high school debates for the iiresent school year has been dcided on. It ii: Resolved, that Congress should, pro vide for enforcement of the decisions of ti e railway labor board." ls is the eleventh year of the high school debating union, which was or ganized by the Dialectic and Phil anthropic Societies at the University. Last winter sixty schools which had their preliminary contests sent teams; numbering 240 debaters, to Chapel Hill to enter the final round for the Aycock Memorial cup. Every secondary and high school in North Carolina is invited to become a member of the Union and partici ple in the state-wide debate. Every school that enters will be grouped in a triangle with the others, each school putting out two teams, one or the affirmative and one on the nega tive. Every school which wins both ot its debates is entitled to send its team to Chapel Hill for the final day. THE CARE OF THE TEETH. According to the decision of the judges, the following composition or, the care of the teeth, was the best submitted by the pupils of the sixth and seventh' grades. Mrs Hayes tells us that the judges did not know the names of the authors when judging and they were at a loss to de c: e oa the best for a time all of I - ere good, but finally selected. owing one, written by Miss Nannie Lanius : "When we are just a few months ol I, there comes a set of teeth, call ed temporary teeth. There are twentj in the first set, and the last of them ear about the end of the second year. The first teeth begin to fall out when a child is about six years old, t : soma remain until it is twelve or oider. T ie second set is the permanent teeth; there are thirty-two of these permanent teeth the last of them, the wisdom tooth, may not come un til between the ages of seventeen or twenty-fieve We should take good care of these, because after they are gone, we will have no more. Neglect of the teeth produces many bad effects. The odor from an unclean mouth is a most unpleasant thing to other people. A neglected tooth is the gate way through which our worst germ enemies may gain entrance. The enamel is the protection of the teeth; as this is easy to break, we should be very careful not to bite ev erything hard. The teeth should be washed at least twice each day, morn ing and night, if not more. The tooth brush should not be too large, and the bristles should be of a medium hardness and shaped so that they will get between the teeth. Both sides, and t e top of the teeth should be thor - ly brushed. It is better to brush n and up from the gums to the cutting edge, instead of crosswise, be- c e the bristles do not get m oe t een the teeth when the brushing is fi ished; luke-warm water should be taken into the mouth and forced be tween and around the teeth several ti nes. This is as important as the use of the tooth brush. This tooth hould take from three to five ites. If you have no tooth paste, plain water and brush will be bet ter than nothing." The Seeing Eye. How do you visualize , our job? The story of the three stonecutters leaves nothing of wisdom to be said. They were working on a stone. A stranger asked the first what he was doing. 'Tin working for $7.50 a day," lie replied. "And you?" the stranger p : the second. "I'm cutting the stone," growled the laborer. When the question was put to the third h no-cutter, he answered, "I'm build ing a cathedral." The Christian Regis ter (Boston).

Utile & Pay Highest Market Price for kkens, Ducks, Eggs, Rabbits and All Kinds of Little & r HIS MIND IS COMPLETELY GONE D. A. Moore Placed in Jail For Safe Keeping Last Tuesday Night. One of the saddest cases we have heard of for sometime was that, nf TV A Moore, an aged citizen, who lives on moncure Kt. Z, near Gum Springs Baptist church. His mind had become deranged and to such an extent that he had become dangerous, and on Tuesday night, Nov. 28th, he was lo cated on the Bynum road by Sheriff .-31 air ana several others. It was with much difficulty that he was subdued and hound, so that he could be placed in jan. Duriner th smffl with 1V1V AfnvD he inflicted several knife wounds on the hand of both sheriff Blair and chief ot police Fred Nooe. In fact Mr. Kiddle, Mr. Bland and all those en gaged in effort to subdue Mr. Moore suffered more or less, because of the supreme strength of the man and his deranged mind. Mr. Moore told the officers he had important business in New York and did not want to be interfered with as he was then on his way there. He was told he could go by rail and when they attempted to intercept him, the trou ble began. He was finally bound by his legs, tripped and his knife taken away from him and placed in the iail. pending his being placed m an insti tution. Mr. Moore has been a useful and good citizen, he has many friends in Chatham, who will be pained to hear of his misfortune. Since the 23rd day of April, 1921, when the body of his son, John W. Moore, was brought back from France, and buried in the Ghim Springs Baptist church cemetery, on Sunday, the 24th, he has been af- :ected m his mind and gradually grew vorse until during the past week, his :ase become aggravated. The body of his son was shipped to Hoboken, N. J., and for some rea- on was greatly delayed m reaching Chatham county, and during the try ing days of waiting, Mr. Moore be came very nervous and fretted over the delay. Since that time it has been l distress to his mind, hence his raa lia at the present for wanting to go bo New York to make investigations. His son was a member of Co. H., 120th Infantry, 30th division and was tilled m the front line trenches in he World War, and his body was the rirst to be brought back from the battle fields of France, all of these hings tending to inflame the mind of a good man and a splendid neighbor. MAGISTRATE'S COURT. Last Friday was a big day in mag istrate court cit ies in Pittsboro, when Squire J. R. Blair had before him ;he case of J. H. Holt, who had in fected Lossie Wilson, colored, for tem porary larceny of a mule. It seems hat Wilson had taken the mule from Mr. Holt's stables and had kept the animal for two nights and nearly two days. The case was hard fought by the defendant's attorneys, but Justice Blair thought that there was sufficient evidence to bind Wilson over to the Tanuary court, which he did, putting him under a $200 bond. Another case that attracted some attention Saturday was that of Ralph lston, colored, charged with forging iiree checks on the Farmers Bark. W. P. Horton and Wade Barber, the negro's attorneys, worked hard for their client, but Squire Blair bound him over to court under a $300 bond. Another case was tried last Monday when Shed Wilson was up before Mr. Blair, charged with keeping whisky Lor sale. Shed had been suspicioned tor sometime that he was dealing in 'iquor and last Sunday night the sher iff and deputies hid themselves in the bushes near the Haughton place, just west of Pittsboro, when they saw him anter the house; they raided the place and found nearly three gallons of corn whisky, funnels, bottles, etc. Wilson was arrested, taken before the Squire and was bound over for his appearance Monday morning at 10 o'clock. Shed had too much liquor on hand and Justice Blair bound him over to January term of court under a $500 bond. o- Was It Coincidence?

AAftrtftA nn "oooooooo The bird law came in last Wed- nesday on schedule time and you teggms on display. Hunting birds i great sport but if you will go in style it takes a lot of fixings. It don't take i..inf;n m k , C ItUllWUli O U1V l. W A1U WUV J OW m;lfeel so much more important if the ! ieiiows see you passing aiong ai j rigged out and a high priced pointer following you. Me and bill Watson went out for a little while Saturday afternoon but didn't have extra luck. Of course we don't have jary land of our own and have no lease. Most of the land about here is leased to these Northern hunters, but we slipped out about town here and supposed there was no objection. I have been look ing for some of these pot hunters to ' Set mto trouble and they; ought to When Land is leased, it don't make any difference who has the lease eith er, other folks have no business slip ping around and hunting and scat tering the birds. It is a strange fact, but the truth, that some folks who dont ordinarily make a practice of stealing, will deliberately hunt where they have no right or permission. We all made a round over across the river the other day and while we didn't find any game to amount to anything, we ran on where there had been a blockade still going. There was nothing left except a strong smell and a furnace place. This all goes to show that the business is still going on notwithstanding public sen timent is against it. Some folks will risk anything on earth , to make money easy and there is plenty of folks in this county who will shield the fellows who are slipping about making liquor and selling the rotten stuff to our men and boys here in town. Aside from argument wheth er folks ought to be able to get lick er, if they want it, it is against the law, just like horse stealing and house breaking, and law must be upheld or there will be a worse condition of af airs in this country than we have ever seen or heard tell of. When any man gets to the place he don't and won't resnpct the law. it is a micrhtv erood Pa to let him make a change of lo- cation and be quick about it. One law breaker in a community can do more harm than five good men can build up. Whether branch walking is a good idea or not, it is getting time that everybody who wants to see law up held to see that none of this block ading business is carried on in their community or on their land. A good thing to be thankful for next Thurs- day is that we have as good a com munity as you can find anywhere and that more and more, our people are disposed to respect and uphold the laws of our country. J. W. Harrison, Goldston, N. C, writes this paper and craves space enough for him to extend thanks to the many white people for their pat ronage of their Fair, recently held in Siler Citv. Among other things he that the colored people of chat ham county, "feel that they live in the mecca of the world, where man is a man, regardless of color or condition; if he is willing to toil in his own j vineyard. We would be glad to men- tion all who helped us so diligently, jbut time and space would forbid. We 'want to mention especially Mr. J. B. i johnstun, who stood by us and took i pride in the business.

Country Schools Should Not Consoli date With Town Schools. It is a custom in towns to let little children out of school an hour or more before larger children are dismissed lown children can go to their homes but where are our little 6, 7 and 8 year old country children, with al their childish curiosities to see every thing, ino one to see aiter them, they will go where we don't want them, while they are waiting for the larger ennaren; tney may be run over by cars; they may be with idle street loafers who poison the air with gos sip, vulgarity and cursing. It is claimed that 90 per cent of our erreat men came from the country: went to school in the country. We have no more country people alter children are put m town schools. Country Deo pie can't go to school more than five or six months at most. Hence the wis J r a a 1 aom or our dtate laws, gives us about 6 months school, and provided, it we want more, we can vote it on ourselves not someone else put it on us. Why vote a special tax when we can t use it .' If we stop school be iore tne a or y montns is out. we don't make the grade, but have to enter the same grade the following year, at the same time paying for 8 or months school paying bonded debts for fine school buildings in the towns. The country must take its hat on to the town and ask, "what will you have boss. The country can f outvote the town. We are free now, but will be in bondage when we go in town. Your special high tax will continue when you have no children in school. We have fine school laws now. Keep our children at home until thev complete the 7th grade, then we can send them to high school, rent room and board them at about home cost, and when they are through have no more expense of high tax. We had better put up a school building in the country and consoli date three or four districts, so one teacher will not have more than 2 or three grades to teach; run a school of months without bonded debt, or special tax. This is next best to what we now have. We can hold our schools just as they are now. J. W. WOMBLE. PLEASANT EVENING SPENT. Dr. R. M. Farrell had quite a nice time at his home here Tuesday even ing when his Sunday school class, of ficers and teachers of the Methodist Sunday school were nicely banquetted.

Last Sunday, while cool and frosty, was an ideal time for the celebration of the 69th birthday of Mrs. J. A. Thomas, who lives just six miles east of Pittsboro, on R. F. D. No. L The splendid home was filled with neie-h- bors and friends from early morning until late in afternoon. True South ern hospitality reigned throughout the day, and all were glad to wish this good woman well on this occasion. Promptly at 12 o'clock the 150 or more people gathered at a table un der the spreading oak trees in the front yard and there partook of the cnoicest oi cooKing. there were all kinds of cakes and delicacies, and meats in every variety and stvle. even to 'possum and potatoes. The table furnished all with ample sufficiency ana tnere were lelt an abundance Mrs Thomas is the mother of 15 children, ten of whom are living and of this number nine were - present. There are forty grand children and two great grand children. b ollowmg are the names of the chil dren present, and their address: Mrs. Addie Webster, New Hill Rt. Is Mrs. W. A. Drake, New Hill Rt. Mrs. R. F. Sturdivant, New Hill Rt. I; Ben W. Thomas, Henderson, (Ben was unable to be present); Mrs. U. Hatiey, Pittsboro Kt. 1; G. N. Thomas, Pittsboro Rt. 1; J. C. (Sam) ihomas, Pittsboro Rt. 1; Mrs. L. D. Hatiey, Pittsboro Rt. 1; D. L. Thomas, ittsboro Rt. 1; Mrs. J. Jeter Hatiey, Bynum; and Mrs. Gordon Copeland, ApeXfKt. 4. Mrs. Ihomas was 69 years old on Saturday, Nov. 25th, and the cele bration wa sheld on the following day. She is in the best of health and is not considered much beyond fifty from her appearance and activities. She has reared a noble set of children all of whom are proud of their mother, and her stalwart christian disposition should be an incentive to her grand children to live righteous lives. It is pleasant to be in the home, to hear the sweet singing of the young folks, and imbibe some of the true spirit of devotion and love. Perhaps the oldest person present was Mrs. Wjll Moore, who is in her 86th year. She is a sister of the late A. Thomas, husoand of the good woman, who celebrated her birth day Sunday. Mrs. Moore is very active and possesses all her faculties to a re markable degree. Mrs. Thomas received many useful and pretty presents during the day. all of which gladdened her heart and for which she was indeed appreciative. For the past several years this gathering has taken place, and each year it is looked forward to as a very happy occasion. The bonds of kinship and friendliness are strengthened and the separations each tlnw grows -more acute, and is only tolerated with the fond hope that on the following year, there shall be gathered together again all the loved ones and their friends. POSTOFFICE RECEIPTS. Since postmaster Johnson has taker charge of the Pittsboro postoffice, the receipts in the office have been grad ually climbing. The receipts for the month of October were $3,306, th( largest ever received in the office, anc !;he month of Novembei-, it is thought, will go over $4,000. This is something remarkable fo? a town the size of Pittsboro, with but few manufacturing plants within ite borders, but it shows that the olc; town is making headway and is slow ly growing. When the new mail route is opened up from Durham through Pittsboro tc Siler City, things will be moving i little faster. From what we can lear thert is a chance of havirg this route established at an early date. The postohice inspector here last week was favoraoly impressed with the propo sition, and Mr. J. S. Wrenn has anoth er letter from Mr. Simmons, in which he says that the matter is being push ed by the postoffice department. There is every reason to believe that the route will be established at no distant date. Peculiar Currency. Cow dry shells are still used as money In the East Indies, Slam, and on the west coast of Africa, at the rate of one-two hundredth of a penny esich. The teeth of the sperm whales are used as money In Fiji, the white ones being of greater value than the colored variety ; while among the South Sea Islands red feathers and at tractive kinds of stones pass muster us currency. First Death Among Pilgrims. The first death amon? the Pilgrims after their arrival on the coast of America was that of Mrs. William Bradford, wife of the later governor of the Plymouth colony. Before a site had been selected for a settle ment and while the Mayflower was yet riding at anchor in Cape-Cod bay, Mrs. Bradford fell Into the sea and was drowned. 666 Cures Malarie, Chills and Fever, Dengue or Bilious Fever.
