A few words from Carolina school and Sun day school. The school is nroeressine- nicelv There is a good attendance and the music department is now in oDera tion. The teachers, Misses Justice and Mann, spent the week-end in San- lord. Mr. W. H. Gilmore is in Raleigh on business. Last Sunday we were fortunate in having Dr. J. D. Gregg, who made one of the best speeches ever heard at Carolina. It was taken from the Sunday school lesson. Luke 10:25-37 He expressed beautifully the good Sa maritan who helped the fallen, while the priest and Levites passed him bv He said we need no go back three or tour thousand years to find priests and Levites, they were here now ever ready to pass the needy and fallen without aiding or lifting them up; to help them to be better, instead they will push them into the mire deeper. His speech was very forceful from beginning to end and held the attention of the crowd all through. We hope to have Dr. Gregg again real soon to give us another sermon, for it was a real sermon to the lis teners. The committee is arranging and getting on nicely with their plans for the Christmas tree which will be on December 25, at one o'clock. Let everybody come and see old Santa Claus. With best wishes for the editor of The Record and Herald. RURAL. NEWS FROM OAKLAND SECTION. Moncure Route 2, Dec. 11. J. R.

Editor Chatham Record: I appre ciate a little space in your valuable columns to defend the Country schools as best I can, though I feel incompe tent to the task. I notice in last week's Record that Student offers for safeguard and pro tection for little children turned out of school early. The wonderful play things they have in town. No, we don't have them, and don't need them in the country, but we have about the happiest children you ever saw. I suppose Student must be in High school or college, taking a special course in the Home Department for raising children. I reckon he is about to attain to professor. We fathers and mothers of 50 and 60 years of age, appear to know but little how to raise children, and the very idea of Student presuming to dictate to us; counseling us. Some people seem to think that country people have mighty little sense, and if we vote ourselves under the town schools, I would think they were about right. Country mothers: If your husband should die and leave you with 6 or 8 children, aged from 6 to 16 years of age, could you afford to pay half as much again taxes as you are now paying? And send your children to school for 8 or 9 months? Could vou provide food and raiment ? How many fathers could do this ? If you stop your children before school is out, they make no grade, hence it is necessary for them to go over the same grade again. Why don t the country want to con solidate with town schrools ? Because of wickedness in town; because, like everything else, schools cost us more when we go to town and we cannot get the benefit of a full term. Hence another hardship on the country. Why ? Because we don't want to rob the country of all her best resources to improve, build up and civilize the country. We need to help the coun try to a better equilization of finance. Relieve us first of financial oppres sion, to help improve our schools. 1 praise our legislative bodies and school authorities for having given us the advantages of schools in the coun try about our homes. Term of school in the country is long enough for any boy with common sense and energy to make a man, to get a good education. No, Student, the day is not passed for country schools upon the hill top." Thanks to God, I be- leve the day is dawning for better ones in the countrv. We are to blame ourselves for not having had better schools than they have been. We appeal to our legislative bodv to help the country financially. We appeal to our honorable Boards of Education and to our county superin tendent of public instruction. Help . us to maintain our schools in the coun try and soon our waste and vacant ands, that are now the homes of wild animals, and hoot owls, in their stead will be nice homes filled with happv children, singing "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow." Will vou help us ? J. W. WOMBLE. CHATHAM ALUMNI TO MEET. Special to The Record. Chapel Hill, December 12.

Occurred at His Home in Bennett on Tuesday of Last Week. Albert D Phillips wis born on the 19th day of August, l842, and died on the 6th day of December, 1922; aged eighty years, three months, thirteen days. His passing followed an illness of pneumonia of only five days, and burial was in the Bennett cemetery, followig the funeral ser vice in the Bennett EjSaptist church, conducted by the pastfcr, Rev. J C. Kidd, and words of prWse from his close friend, Rev. G. ft. Underwood of the Christian church. While the deceased 4as enjoying a reasonable degree of Kpalth, he had ALBERT D. PHILLIPS. been on a slight decline for a short while. Albert D., and N. F. Phillips were the only sons of Laban Phillips, who himself lived to be eighty-lour years old. The surviving brother N. F., is now eighty-four years old, and arrived at the bedside of his brother just a few minutes after the spirit nad departed. A. D Phillips' help-meet was Sarah Campbell, who died in 1910, at the age of about sixty-nine years, while the family lived at Coats, in Harnett county. Albert Phillips was the father of seven children, two of whom died in tender years; a daughter Cora, who married J. J. Smith, died in Durham July 5th, 1922. Children now living are J. Rufus Phillips, at Sanford, Mat thew L. Phillips, at Bonlee, Mrs. Ad die Hunter, at Durham, Mrs. Pearl Oidham, at Goldston and Rd. S. Phil lips at Bennett, with whom the de ceased had made his home for some years. All of the children except Mrs. Hunter, of Durham, and a number of grand children atttended the funer al. He leaves 5 children, 29 grand children and 46 great grand children, besides many other relatives in Chat ham, Moore and Randolph counties. In his early days he united with Bear Creek Baptist church and re mained a member there till about ten years ago when he united with the church at Bennett On account of defective hearing Albert was disqualified for regular service in the war of 1861, but per i'ormed duty in looking out for shirk ers. He earned his living as a shoe maker which trade he followed up to the time of his passing. Mr. Phillips was a man of some what unusual size, weighing about 250 pounds and standing 6 feet and 4 inches high, quite in contrast to his surviving brother, N. F., and it was this difference that caused the deceas ed to style himself "Long Shanks" during his correspondence to the newspapers in Chatham and suround ing counties. And it was through this channel that the writer became acquainted with Mr. Phillips who was one of The Siler City Grit's most faithful and loyal county correspondents, and he had probably been a correspondent for every paper that has been pub lished in Chatham county. He was a man who read and informed himself on the questions of the day, and what was of more significance to the local papers he knew what line of writing was of interest to the readers of his community One outstanding feature of his letters was that he made it known that he lined up with the law of the land and that he respected and honored things religious, for he frequently took offenders to task for breaches of civil and moral standards of conduct From a copy of The Grit of Oct ober 17, 1918, carrying an historical and industrial write-up of Bennett and community, we take the follow ing paragraphs: "In his span of years 'Long Shanks' has never served as a witness nor as a juror and has never been in at tendance upon a session of court. For fifty-two years he has voted, having never missed an opportunity." "While living at Ramseur some years ago he won a prize offered by The Randolph Bulletin for being the best correspondent for a period of three months. The prize was the bet IU1IVC V ill iv&iiuvipii wmijt Mr. Phillips served the turkey at a big dinner to his friends and later sent the naked drum sticks to his closest rival "Long Jack,'' which was sent express collect." The writer will ever hold in mem ory the close relationship between Mr. Phillips and himself and bids the surviving members of his family to think on the life of this man, whose thought and influence was toward higher things. P. H. ELKINS. (The present editor of The Herald can but say amen to the beautiful tribute paid by Mr. Elkins. We had known Mr. Phillips only a short time, but of sufficient duration to know that he was a fearless man of powerful influence for good. A man with many admirable traits of character and de voted to every semblance of right and justice. He feared and loved God and was generous to a thought for his fel lowman . What more could be said ? LOOK AT YOUR LABEL ' ::.f PROCEEDINGS OF CHAPTER. The Winnie Davis Chapter of the U. D. C, held its November meeting at the home of Mrs. R. P. Johnson with Mrs. Victor R.

But suppose you had ordered a pre scription from your druggist, one that had been written after careful diag nosis by your physician. It might in volve a poison, safe and useful, if in the amount ordered by the physician, but fatal, if twice as much were sent. You could not exchange that it would be too late. This accuracy means the mainte nance of a highly trained personne' of pharmacists. You get the result at a minimum cost. The druggist could not give the public this service un less it were for the support the pub lic gives in patronizing the druggist by buying other things he has to sell. COTTON TO DEC. FIRST.

Enumerated into classes, the liter ary department garnered in thejneat sum of $30.; the civics department $42.30; the health department, $41.; and the music department $34.90.

Last Saturdav nicht nr pnrlv Sun day morning, about 3 o'clock, Logan in. womDie, who lives on the corner of West and Favetteville awakened by the odor of smoke. He arose ana Began a search to find from whence it came. On entering his din ing room from the Darlor he fnnnd the smoke was so dense that he shut the door and went to another door where he found his ch ina clospt Vmr-n- ing rapidly, the blaze extending near ly 10 me cemng. me blaze was soon put out and the damae-e was small The supposition is that mice carried matcnes to the closet and there they became ignited. It was a narrow es cape: ten minutes mnrp nnH Mi- Wtyi ble would have been without a house. About ten years ago, Mr. Womble lost his dwelling, a larp-p-twn-stnrv building, on the same lot.

By Joe Foreman. o o 00000000 o o oooooooo Dear Editor: It is no fault of mine that VOU did not nrinf: anv fines in last week. I sent the sheet in on schedule time and it appears that it is some rotten service on the part of the mail or somebody. It was just some ideas about Thanksgiving which don't amount to much at best. None of us are over-thankful as I have seen and verv few ston lnno- fnmicrf (n know just what a lot we have, that we aon t deserve. From now till after Christmas, I am going to be pretty busy as I have nromised tn heln thom down at the store with the Christmas rush, lhe days are getting so short that vou meet vourself e-oinc tn din ner if you don't get out before sun up. I won't be writing anything for publication for the next two or three weeks. If you and your readers want any more of the sort of things that have come out in the Side Street Gossip, I shall take it up again. There is no need of sending in any "best wishes" and so forth now. You won't have chance to handle such mat ters until you get a Christmas pres ent for all around and then it will take you another week or ten days to collect your wits and investigate your finances. After all I am think ing that about 96.4 per cent of this Christmas business is all bosh. We have come to the place where we mi-s the whole spirit of the day and sea son. Any way I will be letting you hear from me. As usual, yours hurriedly, JOSEPH. P FOREMAN. THE BAPTIST PASTOR POUNDED. Rev R R Gordon, pastor of the First Baptist church of Pittsboro, was given quite a surprise one night last week when several of our citizens, members of the congregation, entered his home on Fayetteville street with bags of flour, coffee, meat, lard and many other articles too numerous to mention Mr. Gordon was so taken aback at the arrival of the donators that he could hardly find words to express his deep appreciation of the kindness At present the pastor is occupying the Moore residence but in a short time the Baptist congregation will either buy or build a manse for the preacher. It is understood that nego tiations are under way for the home place of Mr. Dock Ellington, who con templates leaving Pittsboro, to make his home with a daughter. . . - THE DIFFERENCE. o What do you think of this? The postal receipts for Sanford during the month of November, 1922, were $1795.50, according to the Sanford papers. The postal receipts for the same month for Pittsboro, were $3,144.00. The last census gave San ford a population of 3000 and Pitts boro 584. Sanford has many manufac turing plants while Pittsboro has only two planing mills and one oil mill to show up its greatness.
