But it has far more fol lowers than books, magazines, the the ater or any other medium you might suggest.” “Consequently the movies are not a, private enterprise but a public insti- j tution. The producers keenly feel their responsibility and for the last year have concentrated on ways and means to elevate the screen both intellect ually and morally.” Among the productions for the com ing season, Mr. Zukor lists “The Pur ple Highway,” “The Law of the Law less,” “Hollywood,” “Salomy Jane,”; “Lawful Larceny,” “Bluebeard’s Eigh th Wife,” “The Silent Partner,” “To The Last Man,” “The Cheat,” “Bug gies of Red Gap,” “The Marriage Ma ker,” “Zada,” and “Woman Proof” as the seasons up until November 1.

If anyone knows any» thing of the folks she wants to hear from The Record will be glad to have it, or it can be mailed to Mr. Olds,or the writer of the letter. Here is the letter: Col. Fred A. Olds, Hon. Sir: —Your name has been given to me for an assistance on ob taining all necessary information I am seeking for. Seventy-two years ago my mother was taken and brought to this state. She /was living near a town called Pittsboro, a place called Chat ham, I suppose a county. She was then 12 years of age; at the time she was living with a man named Joe Thomas, whose wife was named Chris tine. There were two children when she left them, George a boy and An nie, a little baby girl. Her mother was taken away from her, Mahala was her name, 84 years of age. Mahala’s mother was named Lidda. She remembers her mother did live with a family by the name of Avings, but iwas sent away from there but not very far off, but she did not learn the name of her last owner. Ma hala’s father was named Handy and he lived with a family named Cox. There were four Thomas brothers— Joe, Baxter, Luther and John. Their neighbors at that time was a family named John Warmack, Alvis Avings and George Avings. If there were any more children borne by Lida after Ma hala left her, I would be more than glad to trace them up, even if there is one in the state of North Caro lina. I have been informed that you are historical and are able tp give account of many years passt(k, I am not exn|a|h|giipl%ear of Han dy or living at this time but perhaps some of their de scendants. If by any cause you can not give me no information concerning them please consult some one that has lived in Chatham and Pittsboro, one that is passed eighty years. Please remember I am seeking rel atives of Mahala Walters who was brought from North Carolina about the year 1841. Please see stamps for reply. Yours eagerly waiting reply, TOBYTHA BRANTLEY, Wrightsville, Ga., Rt. 2, Box 57. P. S. —Please give me some history of the Thomas brothers. What became of them and their children; also the Coxes, the Avings, the Warmacks. DEATH OF MRS. HATCH. Mrs. Martha Hatch, widow of the late Lamey Hatch, passed into etern ity at the home of her daughter, Mrs. R. B. Lineberry, at Winton, Tuesday of last week, aged about 74 years. Her death followed an illness of five /weeks from paralysis. Mrs. Hatch was well known in Pitts boro where she resided nearly all of her life up to about three years ago, when she left to live with some of her children. . Before moving to Pittsboro she made her home at the Hatch farm, about a mile from town. It seemed hard for her to give up the old home place and time and again she, with her daughter, Mrs. Eva Lineberry, would go out there and spend the sum mer. Even during last June the two spent several weeks there together. Following their return to Colerain, where Mrs. Hatch’s daughter was then living, later moving to Winton, this good woman was stricken with paraly sis and never fully recovered, suffer ing three strokes before the end came. For five week Mrs. Hatch lay helpless not being able to move her body, and her daughter and friends at Winton did all that love and sympathy could do to relive her of pain and worry. She passed away fully conscious of the nearing end, although she was not able to speak or raise a hand. Her remains were brought to Pitts boro Wednesday, August 22nd, and were immediately taken to Hanks cemetery, where she was laid to rest. The funeral was conducted by Rev. R. R| Gordon, assisted by Rev. Jonas Barclay, amidst many sorrowing rel atives, her children and kinsfolk. Mrs. Hatch leaves two sons, Robert, of Gainesville, Ga., and Mack, of Char lotte, and two daughters, Mrs. G. R. ; Underwood, of Bennett, Mrs. R. B. Lineberry, of Winton and many other relatives to mourn their loss. Relatives from Burlington, Pleas-; ant Garden, Ramseur and other towns were here to attend the funeral. Truly, it can be said that that a good mother and a good friend will be ! missed. WHO KNOWS JONES? In the postoffice at Siler City is a letter mailed from Elon College and f addressed to W. S.
