f BIS PAPER IS READ BY MORE THAN TWELVE THOUSAND PEOPLE EACH WEEK. ADVERTISERS REAP RESULTS FROM PATRONIZING IT. ARE YOU ONE OF THE LUCKY 7 The Chatham Record ESTABLISHED SEPTEMBER 19,1878. jjg. McLEAN WILL NEVER EXPLAIN. The Roxboro Courier published an article entitled “When The ~ J " ers Seeded A Friend” more than four months ago, in hirh it charged Mr. A. W. McLean with being unfaithful to the • tp.ests of the farmers of North Carolina while he was Direc -10 of the War Finance Corporation. tO Mi. McLean has not yet denied any of the charges made by the Courier, for the simple reason, we presume, that the Courier’s larges* were predicated on the public records in Washington, 1 d therefore could not be refuted. 3 Mr. Brooks, of Greensboro, has published scores of testimonials trying to explain away Mr. McLean’s failure, but he has fooled no * fn fact, two letters published by Mr. Brooks prove that the Courier’s charges were, and are true. One letter, from Eugene Meyer, Jr., a director with Mr. Mc- Lean at the time the fateful resolution of May 10, 1920, suspend ing the making of loans to assist agricultural exports, was passed, would indicate that the suspension of activities was merely tem porary, and that “in case of need the work should be resumed.” need came, alright. No one but a fool will say there was no need. Then why didn’t Mr. McLean resume? He was still in Washington, drawing full pay (SIOOO.OO per month.) When coton dropped to 30 cents, 7 cents below the cost of pro duction. it would seem that any business man would have seen the need. When it dropped to 20 cents there was greater need. When it dropped to 10 cents, (and other products had dropped in proportion) there was direst need for the resumption of the Corporation’s activities. But what has happened? When coton dropped to 30 cents, Mr. McLean did nothing. When it dropped to 20 cents, Mr. McLean did nothing. When it dropped to 10 cents, still Mr. McLean did nothing— except to keep on drawing his salary of SIOOO.OO per month. Not one loan did Mr. McLean and his board make in North Carolina from May 10, 1920, to March Ist, 1921, the period of greatest depression. What is the explanation? Mr. McLean was either asleep on his job, or he didn’t care. Now, take the other letter. That from Senator Over-man. That letter shows that there were five members of the board of direc tors when the resolution suspending the making of loans for ag ricultural exports was passed, and that two of them—Myer and Cutcheon—resigned when the other three, including Mr. Mc- Lean, passed the resolution over their heads. Three directors constituted a majority, since the board was composed of only five members. If Mr. McLean had joined with Myer and Cutcheon and voted against the resolution, it could not have passed, and the drastic deflation would not have followed. Has not Mr. Brooks convicted Mr. McLean before all the peo ple? Did not the Greensboro News, an impartial newspaper, say editorially, that Mr. Brooks’ reply did not “fease” the Couriers charges? Every day it becomes more apparent to the voters Why. Mr. McLean has made no defense of his conduct while a Director of the War Finance Corporation, and why he never will. A SURPRISE BIRTHDAY DINNER.

Siler City Hotel Man Attacked Sun day Morning. Siler City. April 28.—About four o’clock Sunday morning three men entered the Hadley hotel at Siler City through the lobby, which is left open at night, and went directly to the room of F. M. Hadley, the owner and proprietor, knocked at his door and asked to be shown to a room for the remainder of the night. When Mr. Hadley in good faith opened the door one of the men drew a gnu on him and demanded his money. They were j told that all that he had was in ! pocket of his pants lying near the I door on a chair. Then the three rob- j hers seized, and after striking their! victim several times over the head with the butt of their pistols, made a quiclr get away. The trousers, minus the $lO. or sl2. they contained were found during the day east of town but nothing more has been heard of the men. ■ i —i i Mr. Johnnie Seignor, of Myersdale, Penn., is spending sometime with his uncle, Mr. W. C. Siegnor in Siler City. PITTSBORO, N. C., CHATHAM COUNTY, THURSDAY, MAY 1,1924. THREE FOR COMMISSIONER. Good Men Drafted by Citizens of Chatham County. William F. Rto 3, of Pittsboro, J. J. Hackney, of M JT ure and L. B. Hes ter, of Goldst* oT are three men that have been dr.*<|* d by the voters of Chatham cou o-’ for commissioners. After much p so lasion on the part of hundreds of v; fcrs, these men have consented to the primary. It is useles . X|>r The Chatham Rec ord to make attempt to introduce these gentle & to its readers, be cause they L too well known .Mr. Bland is a s ,of Mr. Mont Bland, of* Pittsboro, a t*} was reared in Center township. I .* sis known all over the county. Mr. Hester is equally as well known throughout the county and more especially in Gulf, Bear Creek and Matthews townships, where he has transacted business with many, many people. Mr. Hackney, over in Haw River township, is konwn by ev erybody that is old enough to krow anybody. He has lived in Matthews township and is widely known in Siler City and throughout that township. In fact he is well known everywhere in Chatham. All three of the gentlemen by close application of means at hand and un told energy and industry have made a success for themselves and accu > mulated in the world’s goods, and they are splendidly qualified for the office of county commissioner. There is no argument to the fact that Chatham at this particular time needs a purely business administra , tion. The county is in debt more than a million dollars and there must be some means of settling up and at the same time make the tax rate as low as possible. The farmers and tax pay ers in general want some relief. We are presenting these gentlemen with the full support of The Chatham Record and we highly commend them to the voters of Chatham as three men who will make a record as com missioners of which you will be justly proud.- There are only three commission ers to be elected and, therefore, we ask you to vote for Bland, Hester and i Hackney. BRICKHAVEN NEWS EVENTS. Brickhaven,' April 28.-—Mr. J. A. Mims and children, Howard and Claire Eve, spent Sunday in Durham with Mrs. Mims who is a patient at a hos i pital there. Friends are very glad to learn that Mrs. Mines is getting on very watt indeed, and eipScti tn twf ; able to return home before so very long. Mr. Grady Truelove of the Chero kee Brick Co., was a week end vis » itor with relatives at Bonsai. Messrs J H. Overby, N. T. Overby and R. H. Overby were called to Mc- Cullers to be at the bedside of their mother who has been very ill for several days. The Overby boys, as they are familiarly termed, are general favorites here with old and young, and we are very glad to know that Mrs. Overby is somewhat improved. The attendance at Sunday school was very gratifying last Sunday—al most pne hundred per cent. The spec ial collection for the Near East Re lief fund was good also. We have a very good school and we are proud of the interest that is being manifested, but we need a division of classes, end especially do we need a wide awake teacher for the adult class. We have the material all right, but it is rather difficult to get those who can really do things, to serve. Several from here motored to Ral eigh Saturday and stayed over for the play, “So this is London,” at the State Theater. The play is an English- American comedy, depicting the gen uine American and his family in the famous English capital, and is clean and wholesome from start to finish. So many plays and pictures leave a bad taste in one’s mouth, so to speak, that it is a relief and a real pleas ure to attend a play that is free from all vulgarity. When one mentions the fact that so many plays and moving pictures tend to be immoral, the ans j wer is that the people demand those things, and that the shows and con certs would not be patronized were , they otherwise. Can this be true? Has society lowered its standard to this degree? We hardly think so, yet it might be well to think on these things. NEWS NOTES BROWN’S CHAPEL. Pittsboro, Rt. 2, April 28.—We are glad to learn that Mr. J. A. Marshall who is at a Sanford hospital, is im proving. Mr and Mrs. Boyd Hargrove, spent the week end with Mr. J. J. Thomas.

The Chatham county electoral board met in Pittsboro on Saturday, April 19th, and appointed the registrars for the primary and for the general election to be held in November. 1 The Chatham Record should have had these appointments last week, I and we solicited Mr Fletcher C. Mann, * a member of the board, and he stated that the board had not been called ! together because the republican mem ! her could not be located. Again on •] Monday a representative of# The | Chatham Record sought Mr. Mann ' and he assigned the same excuse, and we were left under the impression that the board had not held its meet i ing. The list appeared in a Siler City j paper on Friday and Mr. Mann was I again . consulted and he states that the list was made up in Siler City | and brought to Pittsboro without his ; knowledge. This is another indication of how the political machine works. A list of registrars and judges of election is made up, passed and published with out so much as the knowledge of one of the members of the board. Just why there should have been a disposition to keep this information out of The Chatham Record is not known, but our readers can always ; depend on The Record to get infor- I mation that is of any value. We may be delayed at times but in the long run our readers shall have it. The list below is composed of two ! democrats and one republican. The ; registrar is a democrat and the first named of the judges is a democrat, the last named being a republican. If you are not already registered it is your duty to see the registrar in your district and register at once. If you are registered and have moved to another precinct since registering, it will be necessary for you to get a transfer to your present voting pre cinct. The registration books will be open ed at the several precincts on next . Saturday, May 3rd, and will be open for four successive Saturdays, May 3, May 10, May 17 and May 24. Satur day, May 31st will be challenge day. as also the day of the primary and on election day. You may be registered or transferr ed on any day other than Saturday that you can get in communication with the registrar.

Marshall of the Browns Chapel community, ac companied his neighbor Mr. Cullen , Whitaker to Sanford for the purpose of assisting in the loading of some machinery on a truck. When they were about four miles south of Mon cure the Ford roadster in which they were riding, blew out a tire and being on a sharp curve at the time, mak ing fairly good speed, it turned over two times before coming to a stop. Mr. Marshall was precipitated into the wind shield, breaking it and go ing on through it, while Mr. Whitaker was thrown through the rear of the car as it turned the first time, the steering wheel preventing his being thrown forward, as he was driving. The men were badly bruised and in jured, and while the car pinned Mr. Whitaker beneath it, he was hurt the least, sustaining a fractured wrist and bruises about the body. Mr. Marshall is severely injured but not necessarily seriously unless com plications set in. He has six ribs brok en, four of them being tom from the bone; a long, ugly gash on his and a bad bruise in his stomach. He is 62 years old but is strong and vigorous for his age and he has many friends who are anxious for his com plete recovery. Mrs. Whitaker is at the bedside of her husband and his children have been with him almost every day at a hospital in Sanford. Mr. Whitaker is also confined in the hospital. OLD SOLDIERS REUNION JUNE. Our good friend, Col. J. Dan Dor sett, of Siler City, calls our attention to the fact that the old soldiers will hold their annual reunion in Memphis, Tenn., on June 4th, sth and 6th. The old fellows are thinning down and there will be but few that will go from Chatham county this year, per haps three or four. Special rates will be given on all the railroads and it will not cost a great deal to send them, and the county commissioners should bear the expense of those who would like to go. We hope they will do this. It is a courtesy that the old soldiers de serve and they should have every con sideration in their declining years. ■i • —i On a Short Visit Here. Mr. W. Clyde Bums, of Bennetts ville, S. C., paid The Record office a short visit Monday. He returned to his home Monday afternoon.

McLEAN DOES NOT ANSWER More than Four Weeks Since Let ter Was Written. It has been exactly 29 days since the editor of The Record wrote Mr. McLean, asking him whether or not he was using passes on the Atlantic Coast ine railway and on The South ern railway, or any others, and he has failed to reply. Is it right for a candidate for gov ernor to accept favors from the rail roads? If Mr. Mcean is riding on passes on any railroad, it necessarily - places him under obligations to those corporations. It does seem if it were not true that Mr. McLean is using passes, that he would deny it, doesn’t it? The letter was mailed in one of our printed envelopes, with return ad dress and inasmuch as it has not been returned to The Record, we feel ab solutely sure that he received it. So that our readers will know ex actly our intent in the matter, we are publishing again the letter that we wrote to Mr. McLean, as follows: Pittsboro, N. C., April 2, 1924. Hon. A. W. McLean, Lumberton, N. C. Dear Mr. McLean:- It has come to my attention that you use a pass on both the Atlantic Coast Line railway and on the Southern railway, and it is also intimated that perhaps you have passes over other railroads. Please advise me if this is correct and the names of the roads over which you have free transportation. If you are not using pass.es over any railroad and have used them pre vious to this date please advise me when you relinquished them. I shall thank you for a prompt reply. Yours verv truly, COLIN G.
