J at the time and after eating his dinner
j he came on *to town with a load and
in a few minute after reaching Pitts
! boro news came that his house was
burned to the ground.
The dwelling was a frame structure
two stories and containing six or eight
rooms. All of Mr. and Mrs. • Petty[s
clothing, household and kitchen furni
ture was destroyed. It is thought the
j fire started from a defective flue,
j The house was recently remodeled
' four rooms being added. The build
ing was valued at $3,000 and only two
or three days before the fire a friend
suggested to Mr. Petty that he have
his home which he did* for
$1,500. There was no one at home at
the time of the fire and nothing was
saved.
Mr. Petty is a hard-working farmer,
and the loss of his home falls heavi
ily on him. He and his wife have the
sympathy of this entire community.

PITTSBORO, N. C., CHATHAM COUNTY, THURSDAY, MAY 24,1923. ‘
A BIG DAY AT NEW ELAM.
Memorial Services Held on Saturday
May 19th—Large Attendance.
On last Saturday it was the pleas
ure of the editor to attend Memorial
services at New Elam Christian
church in the lower edge of Cape Fear
township, five miles northeast of Mon
cure. The day was an ideal one for
such an occasion and there were many
people there to participate in the ev
ent. It was our first trip to that im
mediate section and we met many old
; friends and made scores of new ones
—the kind of people that make- £
good county. Good, substantial, whole
souled Christian folks. We felt an
atmosphere all day of genuine hospi
tality, good fellowship* and it was an
inspiration to us. It was an event
that gave us much pleasure and we
shall remember it for the years to
come. Not only that but it is an ex
pressed will that we shall see those
people more often in the future than
we have in the past. *
Dinner was served at 12 o’clock an<$ y
there were any tables anywhere
in Chatham county that was graced
with any more and a greater variety
of splendid rations. Every conceiv
able dish of substantial food as well
as numerous delicacies were in*«bund
f ance and the vast throng of people
, never make an impression with it. It
i really seemed to be more there after
dinner had been served than before.
We were at the table of Mrs. Alice
Webster, but we sauntered around
through the grove as an observer and
on every hand there was an elegant
display of the very best of eats.
The people of New Elam were gen
erous, kind and noble in their attention
, to themselves and particularly so to
the stranger within the gates and no
one could possibly leave without real
izing that it was a treat to mingle
with them.
The ceremonies incident to the oc
casion were impressive and of an in
spiring nature and Mrs. G. L. Mann,
Mrs. G. F. Carr and Mrs. Cora Jones
received their just praise for -the
splendid training of teh children. The
music was the best the editor ever
heard. There is no choir anywhere
that can excel them. Mrs. G. F. Carr
was at the organ, and Mr. A. G. Mann
led the choir, while the loved and hon
ored superintendent, W. A. Drake,
was master of ceremonies.
The morning service was taken up
exclusively by the children and with
the decoration of the graves. After
the children finished their recitations,
songs and dialogues, the beautiful
mound of flowers were taken by them
to the cemetery and deposited on the
graves to the strains of music by the
choir that was indeed beautiful. Mr.
J. D. Mclver offered up a prayer and
the dinner was then served.
In the afternoon speeches were
made by the pastor, Rev. B. J. How
ard, the editor of the Record, Mr. J.
C. Luther, of New Hill, Mr. Terrill B.
Beal, of Bear Creek, Mr. Joe Mclver,
of Buckhom and Mr. William Jeffries.
The talks were short but impres
-1 sive and to the point. Through the
entirety, both in the morning and af
ternoon, the most, careful attention
was given to the exercises and the
; speeches.
After opening the program with an
* address of welcome, the superintend
ent asked for Memorials and several
were read, including a memorandum
of the deaths since the last memorial
service as follows: v
Little Ruby Hearne, daughter of
Norman and Nannie Hearne, Octo
, ber 21, 1922.

and Daisy Thomas, November 27,
1922.

ley Mann, April 4, 1923.

inger, April 21, 1923.

PAINTING AN OLD HOUSE.
The House of Beverly Mann Built 118
\ Years Ago.
There is situated on the north side
of Haw River, about three miles
west of Bynum, the pretty home of
Mr. Beverly Mann. This house was
built 118 years ago and descendants
of the original Mann family are still
living in it.and today it is in a good
state of preservation.
This tract of land on which this old
residence stands was given to Mr.
Mann’s grandfather by King George
of England. Thera is also another
tract nearby the deed of which is sign
ea'by the Governor of North Carolina
and is dated in 1780. Mr. Mann’s fa
ther was born in an old log house
vdthin 50 yards of the present home.
The Mann’s were a long lived people,
the present owner of this old mansion
being past 80 years.
Back in those days Mr. . Mann’s
mother is quoted as saying that when
people went to preaching they took
their guns along with them, mostly for
protection, and to kill deer or any
wild game which was then plentiful.
There has come over’ this country
since those old days many changes.
Back there the country was not as
thickly settled as in these modem
days. Indians stalked abroad, wild
animals were plentiful and when
young ladies went to church they
thought nothing of pulling off their
shoes and taking them in their hands
and yacking them along until they
nearly reached the old log house
church and put them on. Catch a
young lady today going to church with
her Shoes! in her hand and she would
falL dead, especially if there was a
young man in sight. .
Mr. W. H. Overacre is painting this
old time residence of Mr. Mann’s and.
the old house is taking on the appear
ance of youth, the same as some of
our old ladies trying to look young
again by using powder and p&int.
These old homes bring back many
fond recollections to the people who
were living in the long ago.

“I am proud of the Chatham Re
cord under your able management. It
is just the kind of paper that suits,'
especially the rural people, as it giv
es the news from church neighbor
hoods. So many of the places and
people spoken of were familiar to me
in childhood and early manhood; I
trace relationship to many, and am
proud of the fact that I am a native
of old Chatham county.
“I congratulate you on the stand
you take on prohibition. Go on with
the good fight of faith, and give the
moonshiners no rest nor place until
there is not a filthy still in all the
country.’*

We visited the county home, found
17 inmates, 11 white and six colored.
We thoroughly inspected the build

to be in excellent condition. The in
mates are furnished with clean clothes
and are required to take frequent
baths; so that their personal sanitary
condition is at all times very good.
-Dinner was served while wev were
there, and we find that the inmates
are supplied with an abundant quan
tity of good, substantial food. This
county home is modem in every de
tail and is a credit to Chatham coun
ty. We also wish to commend Mr. J.
W. Johnson, the superintendent, for
his excellent management of the same.
A committee of siv from our body
visited the county convict camp. They
found thirteen prisoners there, 17
mules and one horse. The committee
personally questioned and interview

is in the’best condition of any stock
used in similar work that they havs
ever seen. The committee reported

condition and they commend the sup
erintendent, Mr. J. W. Harmon, for
his good management of the camp,

MEMORIAL SERVICE AT BEULAH
n in.■i ■— «
A Splendid Occasion That Was Well
Attended Last Sunday.
It was thp pleasure of the editor
to be present at the memorial ser
vice held at Beulah Baptist church
last Sunday, located in the edge of
Randolph county. This being our first
visit to that section, we were more ob
servant than otherwise and we found
that this church was located ideally,'
had a membership of faithful and
constant people and learned that it
was one of the most active churches
in the Association.
In the morning Mr. W. H. Strick
land, a former pastor, now located in
Greensboro, preached the sermon, fol
lowing which the sacrament of the
Lord’s supper was observed. The con
gregation then marched to the ceme
tery and every grave was decorated
with wreaths and bouquets of beauti
ful flowers, following a prayer by the
editor. ' "
In the afternoon the church was
packed to overflowing and Mr. J. C.
B. Muse was presented to the con
gregation by the pastor, Rev. A. G.
Lassiter. He made a splendid talk
and one that was greatly enjoyed by
all. Mr. Lassiter then introduced th6
editor, Colin G. Shaw, who spoke to
them on the Obligations of the Pres
ent Time and the Necessity for Right
eous Living. Mr. Ed. S. Phillips was .
then presented and he made a short
and interesting talk.
. There were more people there than
could have gotten in two churches the
size of Beulah and that building is a
well arranged, spacious one at that.
Dinner was served on the ground and
there was an abundance of good
eats. The grove was literally covered
with every choice variety of good
cooking that can be found anywhere.
This church is just over the line in
Randolph and is considered a Chat
ham church as the entire membership
is practically in Chatham. The pas
tor stated that it was an active church
—one of the best in the Association,
and expressed himself to the editor
as being hjgbiy qjgaegfi with the work
he bas among • ood people..
We were gfllf-renew acquaint
ance with many old friends and. to
make new- ones and we hope to visit
among them again.
Memorial Services.
Rarely has there been witnessed a
more beautiful memorial service in
this community than that held at
Moon Chapel Sunday afternoon. The
address, which was peculiarly fitted
and choice in diction, was made by
Rev. J. G. Clark, pastor of the first
Baptist church, of High Point, after
which the large audience gathered in*
the cemetery and covered the graves
with a profusion of lovely flowers.
NOTIFY VETERANS’ BUREAU.
Physicians Treating Ex-Service Men
Asked to Make Report.
There has came to th eattention of
the Sub-Division office, United States
Veterans’ Bureau, Raleigh, N. C., a
few isolated cases in which physicians
scattered over eastern North Carolina
have been treating former service men
for months without bringing such cas
ps to the attention of United States
Veterans’ Bureau.
The purpose of this article is to
bring to the attention of physicians of
‘Eastern North Carolina certain pertin
ent provisions of the new Veterans'
Relief Act which presumes* the ser
vice connection of the Tubercular and
Neuro Psychiatric disabilities arising
within three years from date of dis
charge and disabling the ex-soldier as
much as ten percent in degree, when
such facts are presented to the Vet- ,
erans’ Bureau by a licensed phvsi
cain. Physicians who bring such
cases to the attention of the Veterans’
Bureau will be conferring a great fa
vor, not only upon the Veterans’ Bu
reau, but also upon those unfortunate
ones whose expenses may be met by
the Veterans’ Bureau.
