who is attending a regular common or
high school, we will give a six

•m,l W'Mio Bo«tian constituted the
characters in the play and there is
not a set of high school students
anvwhere in Chatham county that
could have rendered a more desira
able performance than they did.
The play, one with a moral, showed
clearly the results of madness, jeal
ousy and suspicion and _ that Truth,
Honesty and Principle will prevail m
the end. It had a lovely ending in
the fourth act and all were pleased at
the presentation.
The play lasted for more than an
hour and a half and the editor or

PATH ACROSS THE HILL.
Splendid Three Act Drama Giv
en by Truth School.
It was the pleasure of the editor
to visit Truth school on last Saturday
night and witness a three act drama
“The Path Across the Hill,” by the
students of that school.
The presentation was splendid and
the management deserves all the
praise that they received. It was a
good play, and thoroughly demon
strated the fact that “love is strong
er than hate” from start to finish.
The characters were represented by
Avery Ausley, Armond Stephens, Ar
thur Stephens, Delmas O’Connell,
Robert Cotten, Esther Ausley, Orlan
Mull, Emma Stephens, Cleo Cotten,
and Clara Cotten.
Each and everyone of them play
ed their parts well and we thoroughly
enjoyed being with our friends in that
section.
Snap judgment for a short talk was
conferred upon us but we managed
to kill enough time between the first
and second act to accommodate the
players and we rather enjoyed it, ev
en if we were not expecting the honor.
There was only one thing to mar
the excellency of the evening, and
j that came from two or three hyenas,
in the form of young men, said to
live over in the edge of Harnett
county, when they gave the infernal
poisoned liquor in their system an op
portunity to show themselves as low
and base, as ungentlemanly and un
chivalrous as any human inn-rate
, could, but the action of Mr. T. A.
! Ausley, one of the committeemen and
deputv sheriff, H. A. Harrington, soon
J proved to the young devils that they
would not tolerate such conduct.
Any young man that would leave
his home county, go to an adjoining
! community, among decent, law abid
ing people reflect upon their cit
izenshin as these young apes did,
would be far better off breaking rock
1 the county roads.
This incident certainly was an ob
: ject lesson why every mother and
'father should use every means at their
hand to put liquor out of reach of
the young men of this state.
•J A man that will manufacture such
stuff, to make young men violate ev
j cry principle of society is too mean
hell and the devil would not have
i-'H-m then why should we tolerate
him?
Great fear at the commotion and a
high state of nervousness, has put
..one attendant-in bfd since -hat time.
; We cannot exculpate of a breach
,! of right on a score like this and we
yet think that these young rascals
s should he made to nay the peraltv.
The Truth school is taught by Miss
Mary Lee Utley and Miss Orlan
i Mull, and they are to be highly
| nraised for t v e accomplishment they
l have made. The deportment of the
j students and of local neonle in the
’ , audience was of the highest order,
and we are proud of the progress
that Truth school has made. It is to
j j be hoped that the committeemen can
; keep them in their positions.

ROBBED A CAR.
Two or three weeks ago a car, con
etaining two or three negroes, was
wrecked on the road between Pitts
; boro and Moncure. One or all of them
robbed the car of everything they
could take away. It was thought that
the wrecked car had been stolen. They
got possession of another car and
went to Goldsboro where officers at
tempted to arrest them. They made
their escape and went back to Ral
eigh, where they were placed under
arrest. Sheriff Blair was notified and
Saturday morning he and deputy
! C. T. Desern went to Raleigh and
brought them back and lodged them
in jail. They will be tried at the
M&y term of court.
The three negroes brought here
were Henry Fletcher, Rex Rogers and
Roy Rogers, the three claiming Apex
as their home. The fourth man
brought along was wanted at Car
thage and was taken there Monday
by officer Desern. This man, who is
also colored, is charged with stealing ,
sveral cars in Moore county.

POPULAR COUPLE MARRIED.
(Special Correspondence.)
Durham, March 14.—A young man
arose very early on the morning of
March 13th, and no one has been able
to tell whether he slept any the night
before or not, but when questioned at
the breakfast table he said that he
was “going off that day to pay his {
income tax.”
When he motored back to Durham
about four o’clock in the afternoon, he
brought a pretty bride with him.
At the parsonage of the First Bap- !
tist church in Pittsboro, N. C., by the
pastor, Rev. R. R. Gordon, Miss
Flonnie Goodwin was happily mar
ried to Mr. Claude M. Bland, a young
business man of Durham. He is the
son of Mr. Wm. Bland, of near Merry
Oaks, and his bride is the accomplish
ed daughter of Mr .and Mrs. Walter
Goodwin, of Chatham county.

REP^JpICAN CONVENTION.
Elecf d elegates And Pass Reso
l ons—Favor Coolidge.
TV county republican
cop tion convened in the court
ho in Pittsboro last Monday and a
number of republicans were
I&fSnt. all the townships being rep
resented.
One outstanding feature of the
convention was the fact that they en
dorsed president Coolidge in his ef
fort to suppress crookedness and ras
cality in national affairs, regardless
of political affiiliation, and while the
republicans are regarded here as be
ing in the minority, it is indeed com
mendable that they would endorse the
j action of their chief executive.
| Ex-Sheriff J. J. Jenkins was elected
chairman of the convention and C.
jV. Tally secretary. Upon dill call it
was found that the party was well
represented in the assembly, and on
motion it was carried that the chair
man confer with the various dele
gates from the townships and appoint
delegates to the state convention to
be held in Raleigh on Tuesday, the
j 18th, and the following delegates and
i alternates were elected :
i Delegates—J. J. Jenkins, DeWitt
I Smith, C. V. Tally, L. P. Dixon, J.
E. Bryan. Dr. J. D. Gregg, M. H.
; Woodv, N. F. Barber, Manly Barber,
J. C. Fesmire, G. G. Lutterloh, W. H.
Burke, James H. Alexander, M. E.
Mann, C. D. Wilkie and Henry B.
JoDGS
j Alternates—F. M. Barber, C. C.
Brewer. H. R. Stedman, G. M. Clark,
F. M. Holleman, J. R. Bright, J. R.
Matthews, Ernest Brewer, R. J. Hor
ton, W. D. Bums, I. H. Hearne, N. R.
Brierht, J. C. Hammond and S. W.
Willett.
Dr. W. B. Chapin offered his res
ignation as chairman of the Executive
i Committee. The same was refused,
and he was requested to serve until
next regular county convention, and
he agreed to do so.
Several paners were read by the
chairman and everyone present en
joyed them, as well as the entire pro
ceedings of the convention.
Mr. J. E. Bryan, Dr. J. D. Gregg,
G. D. Bailey and sheriff J. J. Jen
kins and others made interesting
talks. Mr. Bryan was in his charac
teristic mood and greatly entertained
the convention with his wit and hu
mor and sound doctrine of the repub
lican party. The Record highly ap
preciates the tribute that he paid our
paper.
Dr. Gregg, L. P. Dixon and N. F.
Barber were appointed as a resolution
committee, and the following resolu
tions were submitted and unanimously
adonted by the convention :
We, the republicans of Chatham
county, in convention assembled, do
endorse the National Republican Ad
ministration. We deplore the untimely
death of that great statesman, War
ren G. Harding. We congratulate the
people of the United States on hav
ing that great man, Calvin Coolidge,
who picked up the great ship of state
where Warren G. Harding laid it
down, and is directing it through the
greatest era of prosperity the world
has ever known. We commend presi
dent Coolidge on his uncompromising
position of showing no quarter to
crooks, but demanding punishment of
the guiltv whether they be democrats
or republicans. We condemn the prac
tice of United States senators, who
standing under the immunity of the
Constitution, for making wholesale
partisan charges against citizens of
the United States, and then not being
able to prove those charges under the
investigations.
Be it further resolved, that the del
egates from Chatham coynty t>e in
structed to cast their votes in the
State convention for Calvin Coolidge
for President.
Be it resolved, That the delegates
from Chatham countv be instructed to
cast th*nr votes in the state reunbli
can convention for Hon. G. D. Bailey
of conn tv. the nomination
for attorney general.
1 Be it resolved, That the republi
cans, of Chatham county, hold a con
vention in Pittsboro on -Saturday,
May 3rd, 1924, for the purpose of
i nominating county candidates, the
j electron of a county executive com
l mittee and any other business that
may come before it. It is also sug
j gested that Hon. George B. Lock
| wood, or senator James A. Watson,
or some other man of national repute
be invited to address that convention.
Respectfullv submitted,

FLAYS THE BAD CONDUCT.
Corinth News and Locals That
Will Interest Record Folks.
Corinth, March 17.—Mrs. C. W.
Cross returned Saturday from a
weeks visit jyith her daughter, Mrs.
A. E. Rollins, at TDuncan. Mrs. Rol
lins came home with her mother and
will remain for a few days visit at
Corinth.
Mr. T. H. Buchanan spent Sunday
visiting his mother at the home of
his brother-in-law, Mr. Merriman Har
rington near Holly Springs.
Mr. and Mrs, R. L. Wilson, of
Broadway, spent Sunday with Mr.
and Mrs. D. A. Clark.
The smiling countenance of W, R.
Cranford, now of Lillington was a
welcome presence in our community
Saturday and Sunday.
One day last week the Norfok
Southern passenger daily from Ral
eigh to Charlotte pulled into Corinth
without a conductor, porter or a brake
man. The engineer and fireman were
the whole show. The usual crowd
about the depot had got wise to the
fact that something was wrong by
the way Wayhe Horton was laughing
and taking down train orders. The
engineer pulled up his train and
wanted to know why in the
deuce Horton pulled the block down
on him. Horton told him to go find
his conductor and he would know
why. But this is the joke, there was
no conductor to be found, no brake
man and not even the porter. Horton
then told the engineer to just sit
auiet and not rock the boat for about
40 minutes and the rain crew that
he had lost would be along. The en
gineer had got crossed up in signals
at Duncan, pulled out and left his
crew. He even made two stops be
tween Duncan and Cormth to pick
up passengers and yet did not miss
his crew. So he had to wait until they
caught up with him. by coming over
land from Duncan to Corinth in a
flivver.
An incident occurred over at
Truth last Saturday night that is an
outrage on any decent community.
Some folks may think that such
things should be hushed up but we
don’t think so, for that would be en
couragement to a couple of drunken
boys by the name of Cooper from
Wilburn, to come back again and turn
a public school entertainment into a
near riot.
The school house was packed full
of people and a very interesting plal'
was about half concluded, when these
two boys from an outside commun
ity, with their bellies full of rotten
rum and their pockets full of rocks
(not coin) became so disorderly that
the school committeemen could do
nothing with them and had to call on
: a deputy sheriff to put them out. By
the time the deputy searched them
and relieved them of their “deadly
weapons” the people in the audience
were geting panicky. But the sheiff
backed by a bunch of determined cit
izens, finally got them outside and
the play went on to a good finish.
This is not the first time of late
that a bunch of drunks from an out
side community have broken into a
public school entertainment. We
think that the law governing such
misdemeanors should be impartially
and vigorously enforced. But until the
prevailing attitude against signing a
warrant for the arrest of such offend
ers is changed it will be hard to do
this. We believe that the good people
of this community have had enough
of this drunken behavior at school en
tertainments and that some way will
be found to adequately care for such
unwelcome visitors in the future.
DEATH OF MRS. ROBERSON.
Mrs. Julia Roberson, widow of the
late John Roberson, died at her home
on route 3, Pittsboro, last Sunday, and
the funeral services and burial were

ig also pastor at Gum Springs,
where the deceased held her member
ship, conducted the funeral rites, be
ing assisted by Rev. J. J. Boone, of
Pittsboro, who is also pastor at Chat
ham church. Mrs. Roberson had been
a member of Gum Springs Baptist
church for 66 years, but her husband
was buried at Chatham Methodist
church cemetery , and her remains
were laid to rest beside his body. She
joined Gum Springs when but 14
years of age, and she never changed
her membership to any other church.
THE MONTH OF MARCH.
March has been a had month, not
only have there been shipwrecks at
sea, in which many lives were lost,
but on land and in mines there have
been fearful loss of life. In one mine
in Utah 175 men, who had left happy
homes a few hours before, had their
lives snuffed out by an explosion.
That’s not all. Winter was about
gone and everybody feeling good when
two big snowstorms and strong, high
winds shattered the nerves of many
neople and caused thousands of dol
lars o fdamage. March should learn
how to behave herself.

A man who can’t keep his mind on
his business never has to worry about
it very long.
