Heretofore the school children went
to the old wooden school building,
which stood upon the hill in the north

on the streets on the way to school
was a pleasing sight. ;
Now that all has been changed. In
stead they go to the western end of
town, where they go to school in a
beautiful brick building which is per- i
fectly comfortable and safe to both
pupils and teachers.

ROBERT FARRELL DEAD.
ATE SUPPER WITH AUNT
Meets a Tragis Ending on New Hope
Creek Last Sunday Night.
Mr. Rob Farrell was in Pittsboro
last Saturday and he ate supper at
the home of his aunt, Mrs. R. T. Mann
who lives near Pittsboro. He started
home shortly after dark, after he had
been plead with by loved ones to re
main over night. When he reached
New Hope Creek at Seaforth, he was
thrown over the bridge and so badly
injured that he died early Sunday
morning in a hospital in Raleigh, to
which place he was taken imediate
ly after.
This paper has been unable to learn
the particulars. It is said that four
young men driving a Ford car met
Mr. Farrell on the bridge and that a
collision took place, while Mr. Farrell
was driving in a buggy, the car is
said to be without lights. Mr. Frank
Gilmore met the horse drawing the
buggy a few feet from the bridge and
dash board and the cushion across the
caught him. The lines were over the
dash board and the cushion acros the
foot board. He states that there was
no damage to the buggy or the horse.
It is said that the young men claim
to have struck the buggy with such
force that he was thrown over the
bridge, falling many feet below and
received the fatal injuries.
The young men we are told, were
named Lasater, Holt, Sauls and Hearn.
All of them are supposed to have been
well acquainted with Mr. Farrell, it
is said. It is stated from Mr. Mann’s
home that Mr. Farrell had a
sum of money when he left, no
one knows how much. He gave Mr.
Mann five ten dollar bills in payment
for a cow, leaving a large roll in his
pocket. The Record learns that no
money was found on his person.
The matter is to be investigated to
ascertain as to whether Mr. Farrell
met with foul play or not and if so,
who may have been guilty of the
crime.
A warrant has been issued for the
four yfcung men and they will be giv
i en a hearing when apprehended.
Mr. Farrell was a son of Mr. Fran
i ces Farrell, who now lives near Caro
lina school house on the Goldston road
and he leaves besides his father, a
wife and ten children. The oldest of
l the children is less than 17 years dd
and the youngest is only two months
old. It is a sad occurrence and has sad
dened many hearts. Mr. Rob Farrell
was a splendid young man, just in the
prime of life and one who was ad
mired and respected by many people
! in Chatham county.
The funeral was held _at Hanks
! Chapel church east of Pittsboro on
Monday afternoon and it was largely
i attended, being conducted by Rev. Mr.
! Carden, the pastor. The floral tributes
and the large number present attested
the high esteem in which Mr. Far
rell was held. *

ANOTHER SUGGESTION.
The Record this week is offering an
other suggestion. This one is some-.
thing you can hardly-fail to take no-.
tice. , , .
Why not some of our home talent
get up a play or a minstrel troupe
and give an exhibition _ in the new
school auditorium, which will be
thrown open to the public in a few
weeks. The money so raised could
go to improve the grounds.
This is only a suggestion. You
need not pay any attention to it if you
don’t wish to.
Some Changes in Residence.
Several of the citizens of Pittsboro
and nearby are moving this week. Mr.
Joe Moore moved from the old Jack
son farm, near town, to his old home.
Mr. W. A. Ellington has broken up
housekeeping and will go to live with
his daughter, Miss Veva Ellington, in
Raleigh. His daughter, Miss Lois, will
board with Mrs. C. A. Brown.
PITTSBORO, N. C., CHATHAM COUNTY, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1923.
EDITOR SHAW INDICTED
UNDER A PEACE //ARRANT
O
Witnesses Are Introduced For Purpose of His Char
acter on False Testimo j
On Tuesday, September 25th, there a warrant served on Co
lin G. Shaw, editor of The Record, io by Cornelia Mills, a ne
gro woman, who had worked the lands of the editor during the ’
past summer. The warrant was made returnable before his honor, J
Ilamp L. Stone, of Siler City, on Saturday, September 29th. The
negro woman was represented by Wade Barber, Walter Siler and
W. P. Horton, and Hon. A. C. Ray appeared for Mr. Shaw.
On Monday of the week before, the editor had a warrant issued
before Squire Blair, of Pittsboro, charging a negro man, John
Watson, a companion of old Cornelia, for stealing corn. The negro
was bound over to court and gave bond. The warrant against the
editor was a retaliative one by the Mills woman, she having made
affidavit that the editor had threatened to kill her and that she
was afraid that he had the ability to carry out the threat,
j Competent evidence was introduced at the hearing to prove that
l no such threats had been made and many good, true men of Chat
j h am county, many oMhem officers of the law, testified that the,
whole negro Mills set were of low ebb and recognized as of bad
character. It was acknowledged by the negro woman herself that j
her whole crowd had stolen corn from the lands of Colin G. Shaw. \
Mr. Shaw was ordered by the Justice under a peace bond of SIOO
and to pay the costs in the case, an appeal from which decision
was taken to the superior court at the October term.
The negro woman during her testimony also said that the said
j Colin G. Shaw had made an improper suggestion to her. On cross
i examination she stated that she had gotten authority from her at
i torneys to make this indictment. While this was not relative nor
i competent evidence, it was heard in full to ascertain the signifi
! cance of the charge.
I This is the first warrant ever served on the editor of this paper.
He has never had to become subject to such a thing before, and as'
j a citizen of North he emphatically denies that any
' threat was ever made toward this old woman and the whole mat
ter is a frame-up and untrue from its inception. It is inconceiv-!
able that such a preposterous charge should be made against him
■ as to immoral conduct.
H it is true, as this negro harlot has said, that she gained per
mission from her attorneys, or anyone else, from folks who pre
! to be intelligent and law abiding, and would countenance
i su y l . an a . mer ©ly to blacken a man’s name because of hatred or
unfriendliness, then we rise up to say it is high time sure enough
to not let ma find out.” No man is safe and no one can feel the
same degree of safety in his attempt to live righteously.
connects the name of Colin G. Shaw with wrong:
with a filthy negro wench or any other immoral woman, is a dirty, [
cowardly liar and a henchman for any such characters, a stool
Pu” 6 ? n or aido^s a nurturer of pests that inflict hatred upon 1
the hearts of those who would serve God. We do not know the indi-*
I vidual tnat presumed to frame this dirty work, we do not pretend j
to know. We would like to know! It would be a satisfaction to us to
iu Co j Porate name rogue’s gallery and mingle it among!
the depraved, low characters of the universe. Whoever he may be 1
he has cloaked himself behind a statute for safety to his love-lady j
-as well as for his own foul, germ-eaten carcass, and it takes all the
, Vlta u ce that the hu . man frame can endure to resist the outrage. I
We have lived our lives as pure as we could, we have presented
ourselves to the people of Chatham county in a manner that we are 1
proud of> We have hundreds of friends in Chatham who will resent
thl *L * J?P e . of citizenship. They constitute the high 1
court of public opinion and we leave our fate in their hands, and ‘
, content with the verdict they may render against the depraved
culprit responsible for it, whomsoever he may be.
A NEAR ACCIDENT.
i What came near being a serious
accident occurred at the corner of
| West and Fayeteville streets Satur
day afternoon, when a car driven by
John Scurlock turned over.
Mr. Tom Carroll had rented the car
to look over a farm near town and
was accompanied by a colored man
employed by him, and’ when making
the curve at the corner the car was
going at such a high rate of speed
the driver could not manage it. The
rear of the car skidded, blowing out
a tire and causing it to precipitate,
breaking the wind shield, destroying
the top and doing other damage to
the car. Mr. Carroll suffered many
bruises and lacerations of the flesh
but no serious hurt. The others were
uninjured.
A few minutes after the acident
the two colored men were arrested,
charged with transporting liquor, as
several empty bottles that had con
tained liquor were found in the car.
, Mr. Carroll stated that no one of the;
two had any liquor and the men were
released.
REVIVAL SERVICES.
The revival services, which were t
conducted by Rev. R. R. Gordon at the
Baptist church in Pittsboro all last
week, beginning on Wednesday of the |
, week before, closed last Saturday
j night. There were thirteen conver
' sions, tefi of whom were baptized at
the Club pond near town last Sunday.
There have been received in the
church by letter three members, mak
ing sixteen to be received during the
meeting. All together, there has been
22 additions since Mr. Gordon became
the pastor of the church, some ten
months ago.
REDUCED TO $7,000.
In last week’s Record was an arti
cle giving the schol deficits of the dif
ferent counties of the State. The de
ficit in Chatham county was given at
$20,000. It has been found through
mistakes in the collection of back tax
es that the deficit only amounts to
$7,000. Chatham county makes as good
showing in school affairs as any coun
ty in the State.
NEW ORDINANCES.
The town commissioners of Pitts
boro have passed two ordinances, one
( allowing the policeman to kill any dog
that has been bitten by a mad dog. 1
I making it a misdemeanor for an own- !
j er of a dog that has been bitten by a 1
mad dog to refrain from killing him, ’
upon the penalty of a fine of fifty dol- |
lars. The policeman is empowered
| with authority to enter upon the pre
| mises of anyone that may have a dog
j that has been bitten and kill the dog,
and the cost of killing and dispensing
1 with the dog shall be at the expense
| of the owner. j
] The other ordinance requires that
all dogs in the town of Pittsboro be
kept in confinement for a period of
sixty days. Any person in the town
who knowingly allows his dog or any
dog under his control to run at large
on the streets shall be fined fifty dol
lars, and the policeman has the right
to kill any such dog when found on
the streets or in the town of Pittsboro.
Both ordinances were ratified on
the 25th day of September and are in
effect from the date of their ratifica
tion.
These are good ordinances and will
serve a splendid purpose. Those who
! own valuable dogs will profit by keep- :
ing them up and those who have on- j
ly worthless curs will be saved the
painful necessity of killing them. A
policeman will do the job promptly.
It will destroy the dogs that are of
no value to anyone and save those
that are of certain worth. ,
GET THE FARMER.
Now is the ‘time to get the Pro
gressive Farmer and The Southern 1
Planter with the Record for a small
sum of money. Every progressive far
mer wants to keep abreast of the 1
times and do so he must know what
others are doing to get ahead. You
can learn these things from a good,
reliable farm paper. Send us a remit
tance of $2.00 and we will send the
Record, The Progressive Farmer and
The Southern Planter. If you are al-,
ready a subscriber to The Record your
time will be extended one year.
A dollar is now worth a million
marks, but the marks aren’t worth
anything.—Philadelphia Inquirer.

MISSES THE RECORD BADLY.
In a letter from our good friend S.
J. Harmon, in Sanford, he says that
“I feel so disappointed this Friday
night as I failed to get my Chatham
Record, and I can’t understand why
I do not get it regularly. Sometimes;
it comes on Thursday, then on Friday
and again it reaches me on Saturday.
I always look forward to the coming !
of the Record. I am just as anxious
as I used to be to get a letter from '
my sweetheart, and when I miss a
copy I feel despondent.”
We regret these,delays in the pa
per and we always make every effort
possible to avoid them. The paper is
mailed in Pittsboro every Wednesday
and should reach all of our subscrib
ers not later than Saturday. Even
those that live in distant states. We
hope to get this delay remedied.
This complimentary message from
Mr. Harmon makes us feel good and
we appreciate it, along with many
others that we receive almost every
week. I

since it would have been at no addi

want to go on to high school. There

school. Our county superintendent en
tirely upon his own initiative, with
out any request or solicitation from
anyone first proposed to give us this

a high school education? Or can it be
possible that the parents of smaller
children object along with single in

a high school education? We sincere
