Local News and Gossip of Interest
From Bennett Way.
Bennett, Sept. 24.—The Standard
Oil Co., has put their plant here into
operation. Ed. Johnson, of Siler City,
has charge of the plant and will move
to Bennett in a short time.
W. C. Brewer is installing plat
form scales at his gin here. A suction
system has also been installed.
Merchants are getting in their Fall
goods, trade is good and the old town
; seems to be on a boom. Farmers are
not near so blue as a month ago.
Dr. H. A. Denson and wife, Mr.
Arthur Bartlett made a business trip
to Raleigh and to Cary last week.
Mr. W. J. Tally, former supt. of
the B. & W. Ry., now holding a re
sponsible position on a railroad at
New Holland, N. C., made a
visit to Benentt last Friday.
The children and relatives of John
M. Scott surprised him on his 68th
birthday, last Tuesday. He had forgot
ten his aniversary until the day. Ev
eryone present enjoyed the day and
the big dinner. Mr. Scott was the
first policeman the town had when
first organized.
Mr. Sidney Smith has come to stay
. awhile with his sister, Mrs. Mandy
Smith. Mr. Smith is in feeble health
and is unable to walk by himself.
The cotton gin of W. C. Brewer
started up Monday and a great deal
of cotton is coming in. The local mark
et is paying 29 cents today.
A call has been extended by the
Baptist church here to Rev. J. C.
Kidd to preach two Sundays each
month. Plans have bene formulated to
remodel the church and to add Sun
day school rooms.
Mrs. C. R. Scotten was called to
Asheboro last Friday to be at the
bedside of her father, Mr. John Da
| vis, who had a stroke of paralysis.
A short time ago, a horse belonging
to Madison Phillips got desperately
sick, and Mr. Phillips sent for Dr.
j Sears for medical aid. In due time
: the Doctor arrived and at once gave
| the suffering animal a heavy hypo
dermic shot and the horse dozed off
in peaceful slumber. “Now,” said Dr.
Sears, “you fellows have a job on
your hands, when this horse wakes
up he will “run away.” Sure enough
that very thing took place. With a
sudden bound the horse darted away
at airplane speed, paying no attention
to roads, fields, fences, hog pens or
hen house, tearing everything away
as he went. Three days later the
horse was found, it is said, in a
swamp near Jonesboro, eating whor
tleberry bushes.
Now, one sequel to this is that Dr.
Denson has been to Siler City three
times to see Dr. Sears to get some
of this medicine to use on some fel
lows he knows about Bennett. Dr.
Denson says he wants to see them
“git up and git.”
Billy Brown says he wants it tried
on him for his rheumatic stiffness,
but he wants to see it tried on Moses
Welch first to see how it works.

ROUNDING UP AUTO FOLKS.
M. C. Nichols, representing the
state, was in Chatham county last
week loking up folks who have neg
lected to buy license tags from North
Carolina or otherwise not living up
to the regulations as required by the
laws of North Carolina.
M. C. Norwood, of Bonlee, W. T.
Wright, D. B. Nooe and Bun Bynum,
of Pittsboro were called before a
magistrate and let off on payment for
the licenses and the costs in the case.
A. C. Ray and L. A. Nooe, came be
fore Mr. Nichols and acknowledged
not having proper license plates. This
being done voluntarily, they were re
quired to purchase plates without
having a hearing on the matter.
All those who have not yet gotten
license tags, or have bought them for
the wrong make of cars, or any other
violation of the auto laws, should
get the matter straightened out, as
representatives of the state are now
checking up all cars, and it will save
you trouble and expense to have the
matter corect.

PITTSBORO, N. C., CHATHAM COUNTY, THURSDAY, SEPTEMI Lit 27, 1923.
SCHOOL INFORMATION THAT IS OF MUCH VALUE TO EV JftONE
Prof. Reid Thompson has prepared for publication the foil |ig table,
showing the property valuation, the school deficit, the tax for the
county and tax rate for county schools in several counties in F ,h Carolina. 1
By studying the table you will find that the rate for county s J§bls in Chat
ham is only 45 cents, while it is much higher in most of thr there
being but three counties lower than that of Chatham.
Then,too, the school deficit is shown to be only $20,000 in Chatham, while 1
a sum much larger is against nearly every otheU county. The property val
uation, as well, is only $15,000,000.00 in Chatham and it is much higher in
a majority of the counties. Study the following table well:

TRAINING SCHOOL FOR
SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS
Training Schools Will be Conducted in
Fayetteville and Jonesboro.
Last year a very successful Train
ing School for Sunday school workers
was conducted in Hay Street Method
ist church, at Fayetteville, in which
more than two hundred workers were
enrolled. This year it is proposed to
have two such schools in the Fayette
ville district, and all Sunday school
officers and teachers in the district,
are invited to attend the school most
accessible to them. One of these t
schools will be conducted in Hay
street church, beginning on Sunday
night, October 7th, at 7:30 o clock,
and closing on the Friday night fol
lowing. The other school will be con
ducted in Jonesboro the week follow
ing.
The courses of study with instruct
ors for the Fayeteville school are as
follows:
1. “Sunday school and Organiza
tion and Administration,” Prof. J. M.
Ormand, Trinity College, Instructor.
2. “Pupil Study,” Prof. B. G.
Childs, Randolph-Macon College, In
st ructo it*
3. “Beginner Organization and Ad
ministration,” Mrs. C. L. VanNoppen,
Greensboro, Instructor.
4. “Primary Lesson Materials and
Teaching,” Miss Georgia Keene, Con
ference Elementary Superintendent,
Instructor.
5. “Junior Organization and Ad
ministration,” Miss Virginia Jenkins,
Elementary superintendent of the
Western North Carolina Conference,
Instructor.
The same courses will be given in
Jonesborp, and with one or two ex
ceptions the instructors will be the
same.
These schools are intended for all
Sunday school officers and teachers,
for young people seventeen years of
age or over who desire to equip them
selves for efficient service in the Sun
day school and in other organizations
of the church, and for the duties of
parent-hopdi and for parents who wish
toj study fiie problem of training and
HJirSurilH34h& religious life of children.
The school will be held under the
management of Mr. L. L. Gobbel,
Sunday school secretary of the North
Carolina Conference. He has been
very fortunate in selecting his facul
ty. All the instructors are on the ac
credited list of the Sunday School
Board, and are especially qualified for
the work they are to do. This means
that those who attend either school
will receive instruction from teachers
who have become specialists in the
subjects they are teaching.
While these schools are conducted
under the management of the Meth
odist church workers, all Sunday
schools are invited to attend and make
use of all the opportunities afforded.
The instruction will be equal value to
all Sunday school workers.

grounds.
Inasmuch as all the school children
in the county will be admitted free on
this date, there will be a tremendous
crowd to hear Mr. McLean. Provided
, the weather is good, the Fair will have
an extra large attendance on that
date.
Mr. McLean is a good speaker and
is recognized for his oratorical abil
ity. He will easily entertain all who
hear him, yet we doubt the advisabil
ity of having a prospective candidate
to speak on an occasion like this. He
is not qualified in agricultural pur
suits, he does not know the things
that the farmers of Chatham have
learned by hard work and honest toil,
and will not meet the demands that
are exacted by an Agricultural Fair.
It would have been far more wise
to have had Dr. Clarence Poe, or some
of the leaders in agricultural lines
on the occassion of the Fair.
We welcome Mr. McLean, neverthe
less, to one of the best counties in
North Carolina.

boosters and stand squarely behind

City. For the past two years, the Cor

won a prize on a joint exhibit. Is there

us to get busy, so to speak.
