BAILEY TO COME TO CHATHAM.
Hon. Josiah W. Bailey will speak
in the court house at Pittsboro on
Tuesday, May 13th at 12:30 o’clock.
This is* the second day of the May
court and there should be a large
crowd here to hear the next governor
speak. Mr. Bailey’s time will be well
aken up in speaking dates from this
time until the primary, and this will
probably be his only visit to Chat
ham and every farmer and laboring
man should not fshl to hear him
speak.
Fe will go to Siler City on the
night of the 13th and speak again at
8 u clock. If you cannot hear him at
Pittsboro, be sure to go to Siler City.
It will be well worth your time to
hear him in both places. He has many
things to tell you that you will want
to hear.
Without question of a doubt Mr.
Bailey will be the next nominee of the
Democrats in North Carolina for gov
ernor. He is already the favorite can
didate and he is gaining ground every
day. 'l he newspapers all over the state
are giving accounts of his strength
and every one will want to hear him.
You want to know just what kind of
governor he expects to be and the on
ly way to get the truth of it is
him personally.
Keep the date in mind and be sure
to be in to Pittsboro at 12:30 o’clock
on Tuesday, May 13th and in Siler
City at 8 o’clock on the same date.
Heis one of the best orators in North
Carolina and has the interest of the
farmer and small home owner at
heart a r d after he is elected in No
vember he will look after our welfare
as no other man will do.

TELL IT IN MOURNFUL TONES.
Some of the would-be in
the rank and file of the democratic
party appear to be somewhat wrought
up because the republicans, in conven
tion assembled in Pittsboro a few days
ago, saw fit to speak well of the
Chatham Record. They are telling it
in mournful tones that the paper has
been endorsed by the republicans.
Sakes, alive, you old has-beens are
away behind the times. Why every
progressive democrat in this whole
section has also endorsed the Chatham
Record. In fact “everybody’s doing it.”
Here and there will be found a dis
gruntled politician, a man who has
been mixed up in crime and got his
name in the paper, or a “friend of the
family” that is not so enthusiastic
over the editor, yet they even admit
that The Chatham Record is the best
weekly paper in the state.
As for our part we regard the opin
ion of the individuals who paid us
compliments in the republican con
vention, just as highly as an individ
ual outside of the convention, be he
republican or democrat. We are mak
ing every effort to publish a paper
in the interest of the masses—a real
newspaper carrying the news each
week, and we do not mince words
about what we have to say, either.
If it is news you will always find it
in the Chatham Record.
Count on us to continue in the same
style we begun three years ago ard
if you like the Chatham Record we
are proud of it. If you don’t like it
maybe you will quit reading your
neighbor’s paper each week and sub
scribe for a paper you do like.
KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.
The enactment of a state law in '
Oregon requiring that kindness to |
animals be taught in all public schools i
from fifteen minutes to half an hour (
each week is attracting nation-wide j
attention.
F. Rivers Barnwell, Field worker
of the American Education Society,
enclosed a statement from S. M. N.
Marrs, State Superintendent of Edu
catioon, Austin, Texas, to the school
children of Texas as follows:
“I take pleasure in directing your
attention to the fact that education
in its broadest sense includes the
training of the individuals in order
that good character may be the main
result. We cannot have good charac
ter unless we observe the “Golden
Rule” ai d the observance oi the
“Golden Rule” should be made broad
enough in its application to include
animals as well as people. •
“To this end I wish to endorse the
teaching of humane treatment of ani
mals as a means of instilling into
minds of children proper regard for
feeling for others. If we car. h-v-* +v,„
conception that the word “OTHERS”
includes all animal life we will have
taken a long step toward world peace,
for the individual who has this feeling
a ’d will apply the “Golden Rule” will
not be found advocating harsh treat
ment of individuals. It is the function
of schools to make this contribution
to education and the organization
local societies which have for their
purpose the protection of animals and
children will contribute w- largely
to the uplift of social conditions.
Some men are so steeped in ineffi
ciency that they are blind tfc ability
illUigiviy in othcx .
NEED OF LEADERSHIP.
The party politicians have pretty
thoroughly stripped the voter of his
independence and his courage.
1 Glenn Frank has concealed the ideal
i president and describes him in “The
; Man Who Should be President” in
1 the January Century.
He says; “The next president should
be a man of courage, should live in
tellectually and morally enough above
: the battles of politics to enable him to
* think and to act with the requisit
realism and courage.
“The service such a president could
render would help us break the paral
ysis that has fallen upon American
. politics. He would help us reinvest
the political process with reality.
* There is nothing more certain than
that representative government is
doomed unless we do away with anon
ymous blackmail which our democracy
practices on its political leadership,
with the result that courage gives way
to cowardice and statesmanship turns
politician.” § t m
THE MACHINE IN CHATHAM.
The Raleigh Times.
[ “Ten for Bailey/' announces The
1 Chatham Record in a headline over
‘ the following communication:
Editor Chatham Record: —
* We guarantee you ten votes
for Bailey, Sheriff Blair and
: C. C. Poe and anyone else that
i your valuable paper may endorse.
Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Bland.
There’s a prophet—a paper pro
phet at that who has met with consid
i erable honor in his own country. We
1 don’t know Mr. and Mrs. Bland; but
any couple who can deliver ten votes
as ordered have our respect. And a
newspaper editor who has only to say
the word; he’s the stuff, isn’t he?
It really looks as if the Machine in
Chatham were a Country Campbell or
a Babcock press.
I Missed your guess agin, Coffin, we
1 manipulate our affairs in Chatham
with a Cranston drum cylinder, and
it is some “machine.”
■ ■ —i ■
LOTS OF ’EM FOR BAILEY.
1 If our friend Coffin, of the Raleigh
. Times, could take a glance at our cor
f respondence, he wouid be more jubi
lant than ever over our Cransio.i drum
I cylinder in Chatham. In every mail
jwe are receiving letters from folks
{who assert themselves for Bailey. In
| many instances there are whole fam
■ ilies, like Mr. and Mrs. Bland, who
say they are for Bailey for governor, i
Mr. J. N. Hackney, of Rt. 1, Pitts
boro, says he is for Bailey and adds:
“Also have eight in family who are
for Bailey,” and states further that
he is in accord with The Record at
all times.
A letter from a friend in Moncure
gives the names of ten or more for
Bailey.
W. J. Stephenson at Corinth writes
an enthusiastic letter and says he is
for Bailey, and states further, “that
he likes The Record very much, and
it is easily the best paper I have ever
taken or read.’ ’
S. P. Teague, R.F.D. Siler City, al
so sends in names of half a dozen or
more who will support Bailey, and
many other splendid, useful men, are
whooping them up for Bailey.
As we promised not to use the
names of those sending in we are not
doing so £xcer>t in cases where there
was no objection.

HELPED TO LAY THE FOUNDA
TION FOR THIS DAY IN NORTH
CAROLINA.
Catawba News-Enterprise.
The men who fought for the edu
cation of the masses of North Car
olina 25 or 30 years ago, were laying
the foundation to make possible the
educational and industrial progress
we now have and will have for the
future. *
In 1897 when the writer (at that
time State Superintendent of Public
Instmction) undertook to use and did
use the press of the State as it Jiad
not been used before in the interest
of public education, there were many
who stood aloof in the State, many
who had no sort of patience with the
idea of making a stand worth while
for the education of all the children
of the State.
It was a time when it took courage
to stand for a real progressive for
ward movement in public education
—because public education was not a
popular thing at that time with many
of the people of the state.
There was one young man in Ral
eigh who at that time had the mor
al courage and the boldness to join
hands with the movement for better,
opportunties for the great mass of
the children of the State.
He was editor of The Bibical Re
corder, the official organ of the great
Baptists hosts of North Carolina. He
was advised that it was not the part
of expediency or wisdom to join
hands with the movement to improve
the public schools at that time.
But this young man had a vision
of the day we now enjoy and realiz
ed that the only hope for the uplift
of North Carolina, was through the
education and the elevation of the
masses of the people in the public
schools.
This young man and the writer had
the boldness to offer and fight for a
bill to appropriate from the State
treasury one hundred thousand dol
lars for the public schools —an ab
surd thing to think of doing by some
of the educational leaders of that
day—and something that was entire
ly out of the question with many of
the political leaders of that day.
When the bill was considered by the
educational committee it had two
friends to speak for it—the young
man of Raleigh and the writer. This
young man did not falter in his ef
forts until the bill was enacted into
law, and has not failed in other ef
forts to this good hour to do what
he could for the uplift of the child
hood of this State—and the name of
that young man is Josiah William
j Bailey—a candidate for Governor of
North Carolina.
Fortunate it is, that if there be
doubting Thomasses as to this re
cord, there is living today at Lum
berton, Hon. Stephen A. Mclntyre a
Democrat of Democrats, as to his De
mocracy, and he will bear living tes
timony as to the truthfulness of this
record. He is the Democratic Senator
who lead the fight for the turning of
the tide in North Carolina for the up
lift of the childhood of the State.
Notwithstanding this record there
be those who say that they oppose
Bailey because they have fears for
the progress of North Cartdina —a
man who did so much to make possi
ble the progress we have made in
North Carolina.
His voice was heard in highways
and the by ways of this State to lead
the childhood of that State out of the
wilderness of ignorance, when the
voices of many of those who now op
pose him were as silent as a tomb.
He spoke for those who could not
speak for themselves.
There may be some who are sin
cere in their fears of what Bailey
will do and what he will not do—but
there is no young man or young wo
man, no child in the cradle, no child
yet unborn who needs to fear that if
Bailey is made governor that he
will fail to do that which he believes
is best for them. He has the courage
to do so.

WITH THE PEOPLE |'
nss ™ v“
Editor Chatham Record: —
I have been serving in this county
for two years. I have lived in Pitts- I
boro during the past eight months, (
six months of this time I have been j
actively engaged as principal of the i
negro public school. My presence here |
is not accidental but designed and;
urged by a recognized necessity. This J
is a promising field for educational
work among negroes. They need
awakening and inspiration. They need
this more or less everywhere. It is
too largely true that our schools are
not accomplishing the good of which j
they are capable and for which they i
are intended. Education is a very*in- |
elusive term. It is comprehensive. It
is not mere book learning. It embraces
the whole system of training that
makes for life, better life, higher life,
nobler life, purer life, sweeter life.
Education is the development of pow
er. Power is the ability to do. This is
!*- the work of our school and this is the
work to which teachers should dedi
cate themselves.
But I am now chiefly concerned
about the negro schools and negro ed
ucation. How can these be made ef
fective in achieving the end of their
creation? I have found in Chatham
county the same conditions that I
have found everywhere. If the negro
school is to be made an asset and a
blessing to the community it must
have the sympathetic interest of the
white people of the community. Hap
pily this- is not difficult to secure.
Rightly approved the white people
! will join hands with the progressive
negroes in making their schools what
they should be. I have found it so in
Chatham county. I have found it so
in Pittsboro. I have been cordially’
received by them. I have been kindly
treated. I have received words of en
! couragement on every side. Many of
' them —most of them, perhaps—are
l deeply appreciative of the significance
i to their own lives of the kind of life
! that is lived by the negroes who dwell
among them, who work in their
homes, who cook their food, who nurse
, their children and who do their gen
i eral housework. They cannot be in
! different to the sanitary habits of
these people who constitute so large
, a part of the community. The health
and happiness of the whole people
are endangered or safeguarded just
in proportion as the physical condition
of the negro population is lifted and
purified. And likewise the moral tone
of the community is lifted or lowered
in proportion as the moral tone of the
negro life is lifted or lowered. If the
lower strata is elevated, all above it
go up. Here is the glorious work of
the negro school. Here is an inviting
field for the missionary work of the
whites. I am fearful that the spirit
of segregation has worked an aloof
ness that has proven an effectual bar
rier to the cooperative energies of
the two races. We have been forced
so far apart that we do not know
each other as we should. If the white
people would help, the colored people
must know them. They must know
them in their church life, in their
school life, in their home life. The
white people fix the standards of our
civilization. They mould ard direct
sentiment. They are the basis and
stay of our Christian enterprises. They
can transmute these into the lives of
the negro just ir so far as they can
reach and teach them. There be
ro fear of “social equality.” That is
the bugbear of the politician. We may
labor together for good; we mav se:ve
a common cause; we may strive for
the same end; each bowling in its sep
arate orbit, held in place by
centripetal and centrifugal forces of
our great social system.
I have felt to write these thoughts
in the hope of doing some good. My
c-tnv ir» Pittsboro has been pleasant
and informing. The spirit of the peo
ple is fine. The school officials, both
county and district, are earnest, ca
pable, and show much interest in ne-.
gro education. T may not have ac
complished all that I so much desir
ed. My enthusiasm may not have met
the spirited response among my ow~
people that I hoped, but I am not
discouraged. In these golden autumn
years of a long life of service. I still
feel fit amd ready for the bugle note
of battle. I am still fresh ■f’or the
season of service. Cutting and clear
ing* plowing and planting; se°d time \
and harvest; sowing and reaping—all
seasons for service.
