rnvinth, Nov. 26.—Hugh Buchanan
Won Harrison came near having
accident last Sunday night.
L;, met a “road hog” on the Cary
KVav who ran into them and upset
5 car. even though they had one
t f‘i oti* the pavement when they
"1 together. Hugh was bruised up
ca . u n ,l to go to a doctor but no one
hurt. The. “road hog”
t> r even gninted but just kept on
r f in cr ?o no one knows who he was,
St that he was a two-legged hog
nd probably drunk. .
The Truth folks are fortunate in
-miring the services of Miss Mary
up Utlev as their principal. Miss
if-v ic one of the hard Working, pro
lisive, kind of teachers and we are
glad she is to have the work at
T our community down here in low
er Cape Fear is a live, up and doing,
energetic, prosperous part of the
tsuntv. We have gone to the county
fair three years in succession with
community exhibit and come back
rith the Blue Ribbon each time. We
Ve good farms, some very large in
dustries and good people. We have
modern rural schools and a
s (rood school teachers as you will
{/anywhere in the county, for such
we are proud and duly thankful. But
1$ Saturday night we received the
surprise of our lives when one or two
of our own community people aided
by two or three bunches of outsiders —
out of the county —tanked up on some
of the rottenest smelling liquor we
ever detected on the breath of any in
dividual, stuck a gun in their pocket
and proceeded to make us a call. Their
rudeness and crudeness, became so
flagrant and bold that it was v ith
very great difficulty that a few of the
civilized could refrain from grabbing
up stove pokers and making a general
clean-up. Were it not xor the fact
that any man under the influence of
liquor is a crazy fool and is not re
sponsible for himself, we think the
provocation to the teachers and in
sults to the other women there would
have justified any sane minded man
- possessing any pride at all in using
fists, stove pokers, shoe leather and
the like to clean out such trash.
The day of the Klan is in the past;
we do not think the present organiza
tion will be a permanent thing. But
be that as it may, it is just such
rowdyism as this, the kind that our
law enforcement winks at, that justi
fies the present existence of the hood
ed tribe, and we can think of noth
ing that would be more “soothing”
or “quieting” on a bunch of drunken
rowdies than for a few determined
citizens to step up and deal summarily
and vigorously with them.
There was some petty thieving done,
three motor meters were stolen but
as the ones who made the most fuss
about their missing them were also
drinking and rowdy, it is hard to tell
just what did happen or who was
the thief.
However, the school party program
a good one. The teachers and Bet
terment ladies had gone to much
bauble to make it a success and in
? pite of the rowdyism, about an hour
good, wholesome fun was enjoyed
k all.
The next time w T e have a party or
anything of the kind at the school
h°jse and anyone starts anything,
let ’s see if we can’t find some lawful
[ a y to stop his antics before he
"teaks up the party.
THE NEW AUDITORIUM.

diamrock Trio gave a concert ir

THANKSGIVING DAY
RAINY. DISAGREEABLE
\
Many People go to Chapel Hill to Wit
ness Foot Ball Game.
Thanksgiving day opened up cloudy
with a light sprinkle of mist. It was
like many other Thanksgiving days
that have passed. About nine o’clock
automobiles began to- pass through
Pittsboro headed for Chapel Hill, the
occupants expecting a big time at
the old University town.
Up to noon it was guessed that
at least 500 cars had passed through
the town. Some of these cars came
from as far south as Wadesboro,
Rockingham, Laurinburg, Hamlet and
even from South Carolina. At the
piair hotel more than 40 strangers
took their Thanksgiving dinner and
the cases were filled to overflowing.
In the afternoon the town was as
lonesome looking as an old maid
without a beau.
' The mist kept falling and now and
then the rain wquld come, and the
roads began to get slick. By five o’-
1 clock the people who had gone to
1 Chapel Hill to watch the foot ball
game between the University of North
Carolina and Virginia, began to
turn to their homes.
Cars, from two to a dozen, follow
ed each other and Pittsboro people
• stood out in the rain-in-their rain
coats _a.nd under and in
their porches, watching the hundreds
of cars as they passed through.
At the corner of West and Fayette
-1 ville streets, there became a jam of
; cars. Two or three near accidents
• occurred there. Several cars ran into
• the ditch and could not get out. An
; other car came along, and by some
! menas, in trying to pass, both turned
i completely across the street, thereby
; ! blocking the passwav. In five min
utes 25 cars or more were jammed
. into the jam. They could go neither
forward or backward.
Along about this time it began to
rain sure enough. The street was mud
dy as red mud could make it, and
; there were mad people stretched out
1 j in their cars for about 200 yards. Fi
nally the ditched car was pulled out
by helpers of other cars, the one
across the street was righted, and the
muddy cars and people went their
way. (
Religious services were held in the
Baptist church at night, but the
{ weather was so unfavorable not many
( attended.
Appoint a Welfare Officer.
The county commissioners are to be
commended for having appointed a
welfare officer at their meeting on
; last Monday. Mr. G. H. Lawrence of
Chapel Hill, is the man who will have
charge of the work until June of next
year. Mr. Lawrence is a young man
well qualified to handle the work and
wants the cooperation of all concern
ed. He is taking a course in welfare
work at the University and will
be located in Chapel Hill until the
close of the session. All matters de
manding 7 the attention of Mr. Law
rence can be sent to Chapel Hill, or
reported to one of the local officers
who will communicate with him.
The full report of the commis
sioners will be published next week.
SOME GUESS WORK.
Last Thursday at least 500 cars
passed through Pittsboro headed for
Chapel Hill. These cars averaged four
to the car. That would make two
thousand people that passed through
here. It cost these 2,000 people an
average of $4 each. Here’s SB,OOO
spent for foot ball that would have
helped several thousand orphans to
get good winter clothing. The above
is only a small part of the guess
work. Thousands went to Chapel Hill
from other directions. It is said by
those there that 18,000 people at
tended the game. Yet people com
plain of hard times. The old saying
still holds good: “A fool and his mon
ey is soon parted.”
ORPHANAGE COLLECTIONS.
; The different orphanages have re
ceived a pretty good collection during
Thanksgiving from the different
churches in Pittsboro.
From the Baptist church the sum
of $212.50 was taken up for the
•Baptist orphanage at Thomasville.
The offering at the Presbyterian
church amounted to s7o*oo. The Pres
byterian, Methodist and Episcopal
churches assess their members for
the orphanages, but an offering was
taken at the Methodist church in
Pittsboro Sunday which amounted t«l
about $17.00.
The churches from the rural sec
tions have not been heard from.
More Evidence of Thrift.
Mr. H. H. Hackney keeps on im
proving his new barber shop. He has
rrcently put in another chair and has
emploved a first class barber who will
be with him on Saturdays. This will
prevent much waiting by his custo
mers as heretofore. By the addition of
another chair, Mr. Hackney will be
able to take care of his increasing
patronage in a more satisfactory man
ner. „
Too Late Last Week.
We recived a newsy letter last week
from Niagara in Moore county, but
as it was of a personal and local na
ture, it is too old for this paper. We
regret that it was delayed.
PITTSBORO, N. C., CHATHAM COUNTY, THURSDAY DECEMBER 6, 1923.
SANFORD WINS EASTERN
CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL
Defeats New Bern Last Saturday—
Play Charlotte at Chapel Hill.
The Frazier boys and Oliver carried
the glory of Sanford to the top of
the Eastern Carolina struggle last
Friday when the three powerful backs
led the orange jerseyed ci-ew to a 33
to 6 victory over the black clad men
from New Bern. -, ’ T ' ' ‘
Sanford scored in every quarter of
the game. Nothing came out of Crav
en county that was able to stop the
drive and the smash of the splendid
trio behind the Orange line. There was
nothing behind the New Bern for
wards to match the attack.
New Bern put a good team on the
field and Sanford got the breaks. But
combined with the breaks that went
to the Orange team with with re
markable completeness the Lee county
crew added vigor of attack and de
fense and a watchfulness of play that
would have given them the victory
without a break.
Statistics show that the teams were
far more evenly matched than the one
sided score would indicate. Both teams
made nine first downs. Sanford.tried
four forward passes and completed
three of them. New Bern let loose two
passes. Two were completed, seven
were grounded and one .was inter
cepted. V,..- / 7 / V
•'The game was played in Raleigh.
Both E. Frazier and H. Frazier
are Chatham boys, having been reared
near Gulf, and therefore a part of the
honor of the splendid playing in this
game belongs over here.
On Saturday the Monroe team was
defeated in Monroe by Charlotte, giv
ing the Charlotte team the champion
ship of the Western District. This
championship team will play the cham
pionship team from Sanford in Chapel
Hill on next Saturday, deciding the
team that shall have the state honor
championship. We are pulling for
Sanford. Sanford must win and San
ford will win.

A DESPERATE CLOCKADER
IS SHOT BY AN OFGICER-
Alton Prince, Tom Crouch and Augus
ta Judd Lodged in Jail.
Tuesday Alton Prince, Tom Crouch
and Augusta Judd, all colored, were
lodged in Chatham county jail, charg
ed with illicit distilling. They were
found over in Cape Fear township
busy at work at a still when sheriff
Blair and deputies C. T. Desem, Lacy
Johnson and two men from Wake
county surprised the trio.
The three men were brought to
| Pittsboro and two of them, Tom
Crouch and Augusta Judd, were be
. fore Squire Jno. R. Blair, who sent
. them on to jail in default of a thous
and dollar bond. Prince was not ready
. for trial so the Squire put him under
. a bond of $1,500. which he failed to
> give and he, too, went to jail.
When the officers went to arrest
these liquor makers Prince pulled his
» gun and would have shot deputy De
'7 sem, but the deputy was too quick
3 for him and he shot Prince in the
leg, making a flesh wound. The ne
. gro was taken to Dr. Palmer who ex
. amined the wound and pronounced it
not a serious one. ,
s After Prince found out that the of
ficers had the “dead wood” on him
’ he threw his revolver into the creek,
j. Prince is said to be a “chip off the
_ old block,” his father before him,
having been in court several times
j for making liquor in the past, and is
_ probably making it now.
At any rate the three makers of
bootleg liquor will be very apt to
tl spend their Christmas in jail and
e probably several months on the roads
sometime soon. At least Prince will
as he has three charges against him,
„ one for distilling, one for carrying
concealed weapons and for resisting
an officer. 4
» The time has COme when the 6f
} fleers of Chatham county must have
_ the undivided moral support of all
_ law-abiding citizens. Had the deputy
sheriff in this raid been killed there
J j probably would have been a nect tie
party in the forming. It would have
. been too late. One wrong does not
7 correct another. The thing to do now
r Is to give your influence to the en
j forcemenfc-ef the law, and there will
jbe no tragedy. 7
There has been entirely too much
quibbling in the past. There must be
’ cooperation and unless the officers get
j it they have a hard road to travel.
These Prince negroes have given no
. little trouble in their community and
they have been a source of constant
’ annoyance to the good people in Cape
, Fear. They should be put where they
* cannot offend further. t .

MOVING DAY IN OUR VILLAGE.
Monday Mr. John Bums and family
moved to one of the London houses on
Masonic street. Mrs. Charlie Young
moved from Nooe street to the house
vacated by Mr. Bums and Mr. Cecil
Lindley and family moved to the house

People, a vacant house in Pittsboro
would be a thing of beauty and a
forever.
