Pennant to Be Given to Sunday School Most Largely Represented. One feature of the approaching Chatham County Sunday School Con-' vention at Hanks Chapel Christian church, three miles east of Pittsboro, Saturday and Sunday, July 28 and 29, will be the presentation of a beauti ful pennant, 18x36 inches, to the Sun-. day school having present the largest number of represetatives over six-' teen years of age, according to the number of miles traveled. The num-' ber of representatives from a given 1 Sunday school will be multiplied by number of miles from that church to the convention church and the school having the largest total will receive the pennant. The Sunday school with which the convention is held and any other school within one mile will not compete for the pennant There will be a roll call of town ship, when a record will be made of the number of Sunday schools repres ented from each township, as well as ■ the number from each school, and the ! number of pastors, superintendents and teachers present. < The county and township Sunday ! school association officers who are i promoting plans for the Convention are: County President, Mr. C. E. Dun can; County Secretary, Mrs. Henry I. Stone; Township Presidents: Jas. Pike, M. M. Cox, G. C. Phillips, C. W. Womble, A. C. Ray, M. H. Woody, N. J. Dark, S. W. Willette. These officers are requesting the cooperation of all pastors, superiten dents and other Sunday school lead ers in the effort to make the conven tion a success. The two out-of-county speakers on the convention program will be Mr. D. W. Sims, general superintendent of North Carolina Sunday School Asso ciation, and Miss Flora Davis, Assist ant Superintendent. Both Mr. Sims and Miss Davis are well trained and experienced Sunday school workers. With these two outside speakers and the splendid local talent, the county officers feel that an interesting pro gram is assured. SPECIAL SESSION EXPECTED. General Assembly Failed to Make Ap propriation for Prison. Possibility of a special session of the General Assembly for an entirely unexpected, purpose, looamUM* yester day when it was announced that a member of the staff of the State Audi tor had discovered that the 1923 Gen eral Assembly while placing the State Prison on an appropriation basis, fail ed to make any appropriation to cov er maintenance of the institution. Those State officials who would spe culate on the possibility last night ranged in expression from assurance that nothing save an act of the legis lature can cure the defect to equal assurance that the bill, which requir ed an appropriation to function, fail ed of itself when the appropriation was not furnished. Attorney General J. E. Manning was out of town last night and As sistant Attorney General Frank Nash could not be reached. The Governor, it is understood, leaned toward the be lief that a special session would be necessary. “It jwas a plain case of oversight that no appropriation was made for the Prison, but I am unable to fix the responsibility until I have time to ex amine the records of my committee in Raleigh,” declared Walter Murphy, chairman of the joint appropriations committee over the telephone last night. “I recall distinctly that the bill was initiated by the committee of One Hundred of which I am a member and I also recall that the bill was discussed before my committee in the General Assembly and passed unani mously,” said Mr. Murphy tonight. “I was under the impression that Mr. Pou had the bill passed and I can not understand why no bill was intro duced making the appropriation or why this institution was not includ ed in the general appropriation bill, unless it was due to the fact that the bill appears to have passed during the rush of the last days of the session.” “I think a special session will be necessary unless members of the Council of State and the directors of the prison will become responsible for the necessary funds,” he concluded. BASEBALL. Pittsboro went to Fuquay Springs last Saturday to play the ball team of that place. A large crowd was in attendance to watch Pittsboro win from Fuquay, which they did to the tune of 7 to 9. The feature of the game was the hitting of the two Wil- • liams boys—Ben and Herbert. Fuquay will come to Pittsboro next' Thursday, July 26, to play team here, j Let’s give them a rousing reception. \ Remember Pittsboro has lost only two! games this season. Our boys will need your encouragement as the Fu quay aggregation is coming here to j win the game—if they can. The Siler City ball team !e «" - i day for Albemarle where they play two days. All Asked to Attend. We are requested to say that the church grounds and the cemetery at Gum Springs Baptist church will be cleaned off on Friday, July 27th. Ev eryone in the community and anyone who may wish to do so are asked to be present and assist in the work. LOOK AT YOUR LABEL PITTSBORO, N. C., CHATHAM COUNTY, THURSDAY, JULY 19,1923. FINE WATER SYSTEM. The Commissioners Have Installed a New Pumping Station. The county commissioners have in installed in the court house a fine water system, not only for the coun ty officers and citizens generally, but in case of fire to the court house and jail and nearby buildings, j Out at the pumphouse in the rear , of the court house a big tank that i will hold 10,000 gallons of water, has , been placed near the pump and is con i nected with pipes from the pump. An | electric motor does the work at the pump, the old hand pump having been done away with. A guage on the Mg tank tells how much pressure there is. The pressure, as it stands now, is about 40 pounds to the inch, but if a stronger pressure is needed, a screw is turned and in a few minutes 200 pounds can be raised, which with hose attached, will throw water over the tallest building in Pitce boro. In other words, the new pump and tank is a regular fire fighter as well as furnish ing water for the court house. New pipes have been run all over' the building for the use of closets and drinking purposes. Down in the hall- | way of the court house is a recepta- , cle for drinking water. On the inside i§ a place for the ice and it requires ' only a few pounds of ice daily to keep the water cool which is a saving of j ice in itself. When you want a drink of water you turn a screw and the i water spurts out a few inches above drinker putting his mouth down and gets his fill of water without torch ing his lips to anything. I The county commissioners deserve the thanks of the people of the coun ty, many of them having business to attend to in the court house, and the people of Pittsboro especially, because when several hundred feet of hose are attached to this tank it gives the town a protection from fire. t NEW HILL NEWS.

DR. BRYAN PLEASES AUDIENCE. New Hill, July 16.—We considered ourselves fortunate in having Dr. Bun Bryan, a member of the faculty of i Wake Forest college, and a former Chatham county man, to address us at Bonsai-New Hill school building on the evening of July 13. | Dr. Bryan is indeed an able speak er. He held his audience exceptional ly well* In an unusually tactful man ner he impressed the importance of an education to boy or girl and es pecially did he emphasize the import ance of having a firm foundation upon which to build an education. He illustrated this by the Wool worth building, of New York City. A building 57 stories high, whose foun dation rests upon rock, for which the builders had to dig one hundred feet in the earth. This was especially timely, as the lack of a firm founda tion seems to be the missing link in modern education, so to speak. It was indeed a splendid address. Doubtless any audience would have shown the same interest, however, we as Chatham county people, claim a larger appreciation of Dr. Bryan be cause we consider him one of Chat ham’s truly great sons, NEW HOPE WINS. Merry Oaks, July 14.—New Hope added another victory when they trounced Hanks Chapel team 28 to 4. Dwight Webster, the New Hope pitch ing ace, was in perfect form after the first inning, and held the visitors at his mercy throughout the rest of the game. Hanks Chapel used three pitch ers in order to stop the slugging. White started in the bix and fared badly for five innings. Farrell was called in and soon knocked out. At water finished the game. Jones made [ a sensational catch in left field in the ! first frame for New Hope. The field- \ ing of the entire New Hope team was good. A FEW NEW DOCTORS. The State Board of Examiners have granted license to ninety-three new doctors in North Carolina, sixty-five on written examination and twenty eight by endorsement of credentials.

BUILD A HOME NOWI THE ROAD MEETING. k Quite a Representative Gathering As sembled at Court House Thursday A meeting for the promotion of the interests of Chatham county and the other central counties of the State was held in the court house in Pitts boro last Thursday. The people of the county turned out en masse and this congregation was swelled by rep resentative delegations from Durham, Orangey Lee and Granville counties. Many prominent men of this section of the State were present. The primary object of the meeting was to forward the interest of Chat ham in the hard-surfaced highway connecting Sanford and the counties to the norths Hon. W. P. Horton was , presiding officer. Mayor A. C. Ray, of Pittsboro, of . sered the address of welcome and . pointed out that this route (No. 75) , was the most direct in the linking of [ the north and south by highway. Daniel L. Bell followed and suggest _ ed the organization of an association . to assist in the fight for the preier , ence of route 75. over route 50. 1 Sen. Jas. L. Griffin, of Pittsboro, i stressed the point that Chatham had L not a foot of hard-surface within her . border and urged that she put up a I fight for her just share of the $65,- 000,000 to be expended on good roads - in the State. Mr. Griffin's address '> was followed by a short talk by Mr. W. S. Roberson, mayor of Chapel * Hill, in which he assured the people r of this county that they had the full support of Orange. ! Mr. E. D. Nall, a prominent busi j ness man of Sanford, emphasized the { fact that route 75 would open up a I way to the University of North Caro [ lina for people from all parts of the ' State and expressed Lee county’s hearty co-operation in the promotion of this route. Dr. J. M. Manning, mayor of Dur ’ ham, left the atmosphere filled with j good humor that his wit brought to ; the audience. Dr. Manning is a na ’ tive of Chatham and was delighted ; with his first trip here in 35 years and | endorsed the views advocated by ’ Messrs. Ray and Bell. He flayed the wire pulling politicians of Raleigh to J a finish. , Judge A W Graham, of Oxford, stat ’ ed that the people of Raleigh wanted ’ route 50 or nothing and after assert . ing that the people of Chatham coun ■ ty were of a breed of fighters and ‘ the backbone of the~-“figft tinge st” , j State in the union, beseeched them j to rally round the standard of route 75 and fight to the last ditch, j; Hon. Walter D. Siler, former so • licitor of the 4th judicial district, made an inspiring talk, lauding the county and pleading that the citize. s . of this vicinity put up the battle of j their lives for the hard-surfaced high j way that would open up to others this God’s gardent spot. Mr. Daniel L. Bell presented the plan of an organization to be known as “Highway No. 75 Association.” The plan was adopted and a commit tee consisting of E. D. Nall, W. S. Robinson, A. H. Powell, Jas. L. Griffin I and M. E. Newsome, was appointed tp make a report on the adopted plan. While the committee was deliberat ing on the plan Mr. Siler suggested that Maj. McLendon, of Durham, make an informal address. He com plied with an eloquent appeal for the construction of route 75 which, he stated, formed the only practical and logical route fror the connection of the north and south by highway and at the same time offered the most eco nomical and direct way. The committee made its report fav oring the forming of an organization to be known as “Highway No. 75 As sociation” with Daniel L. Bell as pre sident, W. A. Crabtree, of Sanford, vice-president, and C. B. Griffin, of Chapel Hill, as secretary and treasur er. The report was unanimously adopted and the meeting was closed by the reading, by Mr. Bell, of the following resolutions; “Be it resolved by the Highway No. 75 Association: First, That we do most heartily endorse and approve the proposition to build a hard-sur faced road from the northern limits of the town of Pittsboro to the Lee county line and thence to Sanford. “Second, That we do respectfully urge Hon. John Sprunt Hill, District Highway Commissioner, to let the con tract for the construction of this high way immediately.” Spent Day at Lakeview.

BUILD A BOMBNOW! SIX CASES TYPHOID FEVERr Eleven Cases in Two Families—Warm ing is Given. Raleigh, July 16.—Six cases of ty phoid fever among the members of one family in Union county and five cases among the children of a Cleve land county family reported to ♦he State Board of Health, has called forth a warning from the board that the typhoid season is just beginning, and that every precaution against this preventable disease should be taken during July, August and September, when illness from this cause reaches its peak. In both instances of family epide mics the disease has attacked children. Union county family is one of negroes with the youngest of the sick children a baby of three years, and the eldest a boy of sixteen. The Cleveland coun ty family is a while one with the youngest victim six years of age and the eldest 17 years. Experience of the health officials has demonstrated that annually the tphoid rate, both case and death, ris es with the warm weather and the in crease of house flies, considered the greatest factor in the transmission of germs of typhoid and other intestin al diseases. Each year for the past ten years the typhoid rate has been consistently lowered in North Carolina until last year the total number of deaths for the first time since accur ate statistics have been kept, drop ped under 300, being 298.
