Did you ever stop to think what a healthy place Pittsboro is? Did you ever stop and think that, with a little money spent, that hundreds of people who go elsewhere for pleasure, could be induced to come to Pittsboro and spend the summer or winter? Suppose some of the monied men here were to open up a pleasure resort on Rob erson creek, and make a nice place of it. Did you ever stop to think how many people, who are going to Lakeview, would come here if only to spend a day boat riding, fishing or bathing? There is a fine location near town which could be used as a resort of this kind, and for a few thousand dollars spent there, this place could be put in fine shape. Who will be the first man in Pitts boro to be willing to help build a place of this kind and who will be second ? Many* little villages in this state have just such a resort as we have in our mind’s eye, and they are not only paying the owners but are great help to the towns. Let’s build a summer resort.

There is a lit tle 11-year old negro boy living in Siler City that is destined to wind up in the penitentiary some day if his youthful career is not checked. His name is Buck Headen and he is a pretty bad boy for his age. For some act he committed he was sent to the colored orphan asylum at Goldsboro about ten days ago. He stayed at the orphanage just three days before he ran away and went back to Siler City. Last Wednesday he stole a horse, and not being satis fied he stole another one. He was ar- 1 rested and admitted the stealing. Prof. 1 Thompson now has the problem on his hands to dispose of the little fel low in a manner that he can do no more mischief. Meeting of Chapter. The Winnie Davis Chapter of the United Daughters, of the Confederacy will meet with Misses Julia and Effie Lambeth Friday of next (week, Aug ust 24th, at 4:30 in the afternoon. All are asked to bring their contribu tions for the bazaar to this meeting, i The treasurer urges all those who have not paid their dues to send the same to her before the meeting if possible. Many being in arrears has prevented the fulfillment of all our pledges up to this time, THE WILLI, TODD SHOWS. In Pittsboro F i Whole Week and Religious R als in Progress. We went, v and we heard just what we went K . see, hear and feel. Mr. Todd gave the “force” some passes and all of us went on Monday night. The William Todd vaudeville and combination shows reached Pittsboro on Sunday afternoon and pitched tent on the Record lot immediately. We are not responsible, however, in any manner for this aggregation being located on the lot, because they se cured the location without our con sent or our knowledge. The only redeeming features that were to the program we witnessed was a moving picture reel of a Western plot and the performance of a few trained dogs. The balance of the pro gram was not conducive to the best morals or interest of Pittsboro, or to any town. This is not berating the Todd Shows, at that, as it is prob ably good or better than some w# have witnessed. When a municipality allows a show of this type to present its program in the center of its population to a mixed audience it is lowering its standard and will reap a harvest of sorrow as a result of its Influence. An act from a stage by a character representing a negro comedian, asso ciated with a white child, does not bring about safe and sound principles among the town folks. Neither does an almost nude wo man enhance the character or virtue of womankind. It lowers the concep tion of the better principles among the young, excites animal pasion and pro duces a yield of sorrow to loved ones and suffers evil influences to the churches. This week there is a revival on at Mt.. Zion Methodist church, Rock Spring Baptist church and a union ser vice being conducted at Mt. Pleasant Methodist church, of all the churches on Bynum circuit, and perhaps .oth ers, and it is indeed unfortunate that this influence should have gained ad mission into the midst of the best ef forts to do good. Only the determin ed work of those who love God can prevail against it. A few paltry dollars for a license tax and rental for a location is very poor pay for the diseased Condition in which a town is left, following a cheap show and the assembling on common ground of mixed races and folks of various clan, sect or creed. Towns that fail to patronize chau tauquas, or to generously support their churches, then flock to a tented show, fail to inherit necessary prog ress and the time is opportune for Pittsboro to take stock.

Chatham superior court was in ses sion all last week for the trial of civil cases only. Only two cases were tried. The first of these being Joe Beal against the Carolina Coal Company, of Cumnock. Some months ago Beal had one of j his hands blown off by dynamite while I in the employ of the Carolina Coal Co., and he brought suit of $.50,000. The jury gave him $5,000. The attorney for Beal was W. P. Horton, and for the defendant Com pany were Bynum, Hobgood and Alderman, of Greensboro; Seawell and Pittman, of Sanford, and Siler and Barber, of Pittsboro. The second case was that of W. G. Fields against Harold White. This case was tried a year ago, on several issues, and the defendant lost. He was required to pay the plaintiff $4,000. The same case came up last week, but on new issues, and for four days up to nine o’clock Saturday night, the judge, lawyers and witnesses sweated and fumed trying to keep cool up in the hot old court room. The case was finally settled when the jury gave Mr. Fields SB,OOO. There were nearly as many lawyers in the case as there were witnesses. Messrs A. C. Ray, Long & Bell, of Pittsboro, Seawell & Pittman, of Sanford, and Brawley, of Durham, appeared for the plaintiff and Messrs Simms & Shepherd, of Raleigh, and Siler & Bar ber, and W. P. Horton, of Pittsboro, for the defendant. Fields was suing White for $16,- 000 in a lumber deal, which took place some two years or more ago. Judg ment for SB,OOO at this court, gives Fields a total of $12,000. A MOORE COUNTY LETTER. Niagara, Aug.

PAYING i’IFTI r IDEND. Mr. Fred W. Bynum, -airing ham, N. C., is now paying 'V.i dividend to the depositors of iank of Merry Oaks. As receiver for the bank, Mr. Bynum has already made four payments and this will probably be the last payment, making a total of 62 h per cent of the total. Mr. Bynum is anxious to reach ev ery one of the depositors and if any may have changed their address since fthe last payment, it would be a good idea to communicate with him at Rockingham.
