CHATHAM FAIR IN OCTOBER WHAT IS STRANGE THING Mr. W. C. York, Manager; Mrs. Elkins, Secretary Again The directors of The Chatham County Fair Association have re-elect ed Mr. W. C. York, of Asheboro to again manage the fair this year and Mrs. Elkins as secretary. Under the Management of these splendid exe cutives last year the Fair association made some money above all expenses for the first time in it.s history. The selection to have them as managers again is indeed a wise one. It has been decided to hold the Chatham on October 7,8, 9 and 10, the week preceding the Greens boro fair. Mr. York has already contracted with amusement companies for the season and he has made a se lection that will merit the approval of the general public. Preparations are in store for the improvement of every feature of the Fair in Chatham and the year 1924 will surpass any thing that has ever been held in the county. Action has already been started to get up the premium list and it will be distributed at an early date. It is hoped that every farmer in- Chatham county will begin now to make prepa rations to have an exhibit of sv.me character at the fair this fall. f7ant your crop, raise your hogs, cows and chickens with this in view. Chatham already has an enviable reputation with adjoining counties in this par ticular and let’s show them we can excel in everything. The directors for this season are a splendid lot of men, there beirg on the board Messrs E. K. Jordan, J. D. Gregg, Ernest Brewer, C. L. Brower, Jacob Dixon, O. A. Clapp and N. J. Dark. Mr. John S. Teague is the president. With these men in charge and Mrs. Elkins as secretary and Mr. York manager, there can be no possi bility of failure and the Fair for this year will go down in history as the best ever held in any, small county in the state.

OUR MEANING MISCONSTRUED Last week we had something to say in regard to the amount of money that had been lost in the mails that ( had been sent to us on subscription. Some seemed to think that we had a direct thrust at the postoffice in Pitts boro. Let us disabuse your mind folks, of any such intention. A great deal of money and other remittances have been lost in the mails addressed to us, but it came from various offices in North Carolina and never reached our office. Therefore no office or any single individual was in mind. If we had any idea tto.t the particular office in Pittsboro was the entire blame * we would not make a charge in vague terms because it is not our way of doing business. The postal service should be secure, nevertheless it is not advisable to send money through the mail. It is always best to get a money order or send a check. FAIL—BAIL—JAIL Judge John R. Blair had before him Wednesday, the 20th, one fi’om Parker, a gentleman of color, charged with transporting liquor and operat ing a car while intoxicated. The judge, in preliminary trial, put Tom mie under S3OO bond in case and fail ing to give it he now reposes in Hotel J. Burns where he will probably wait until the May term of court. Parker was arrested by policeman W. M. Holmes, of the Phoenix force, near that plant, and brought here for trial. Besides the car a gallon of liquor was captured. WILL DONATE TO CHARITY Mr. S. Berman, of Chapel Hill, who recently sold out his stock of merchandise to a Norfolk concern, has been advised that he cannot give away the automobile he advertised before selling out, without making himself liable under the law. Mr. Berman will sell the car, a new Ford touring, for only $250 and he will divide the money equally between Chatham and Orange counties to be directed to charity. Mr. Berman is doing this to square himself with his large list of patrons. Anyone wanting a good car at a low rate should see him at once. DEATH MR. ADD CLARK.

Wake Forest, Feb. 24. —The unique record of Robert Lee Paschal, a na tive of North Carolina and a graduate of Wake Forest college, is set iorth in a quarter-column news story, topped by the picture of the man, appearing in The Dallas, Tex., News, of Janu ary 23. For 30 years Mr. Paschal has been connected with the Fort Worth, Texas schools. Mr. Paschal has grad uated 2,500 children from his school during his long service, says the story in the Texas paper. He is a twin brother of Dr. G. W. Paschal, exam iner and professor of Greek at Wake Forest. The story in the Dallas paper says: “Mr. Paschal was president of the Texas State Teachers Association in 1914, when the convention was held in Houston, and since that time has been prominent in its activities. “He was bom in Chatham county, near Siler City, N. C., July 7, 1869. He attended country school and Mount Vernon Academy, and thence went to Wake Forest College, Wake Forest, N. C., where he completed the four year course for his bachelor of arts degree in three years. Mr. Paschal has a twin brother who is now pro fessor of Greek in this school. “In September, 1892, Mr. Paschal came to Texas and assisted in the organization of Simmons College at Abilene and taught in the school a year and a half. Mr. Paschal came to Fort Worth in January, 1894, and was made principal of the' Fifth Ward school and remained in that capacity for twelve years. In 1906 he was named principal of the old Fort Worth high school at Jennings avenue and Daggert street, which since has burn ed. He has served as principal since that time. “Byway of celebrating his anni versary Tuesday, Mr. Paschal put in a hard day of work.” Mr. Paschal is well remembered in ! Chatham county. He is the son of the i late R. B. Paeschal and Matilda Pas- I chal, and was born at the old home stead about two and a half miles south west of Siler City. Mrs. Matilda Paschal, his mother, died on the Bth day of August, 1922, after a short illness, resulting form a 1 fall and and an injury. She was in her 100th year and would have celebrated that anniversary on the following March had she lived. Robert Lee Paschal is a brother to Mr. J. R. Paschal,. father of attorney Fred Paschal at Siler City, and who lives at the old homestead near Siler City. He was also a brother of Mrs. Mary (Stephen) Brewer of Pittsboro, mother of Mrs. Jacob Thompson, and who died during the year 1922. Mr. John T. Paschal another broth er, died at his home in Goldston just a few days ago. Mr. Paschal came from a family of sturdy, honest, energetic people and his many friends and relatives in Chatham county are not surprised to learn of his progress in his adopted home in Texas.

It took its owner, Wilbur Clark, to ride one day last week, right down thru one of the main streets of Corinth. Dogs, chick ens, pigs, people, and all gave the racer the whole road, but the little I flivver would not be outdone so at a convenient point in the road, it made a lunge at a good sized pig pen close by. It went right on thru, posts and ail, splintered it up and laid it fiat, scared the pigs so they broke out and left the place; puffed, and chugged a few times, backed out and came quietly back down the street: Ntrone hurt but with Wilbur somewhat scared and much the wiser as to what his racer could do when it got on a tear.
