A Few Words in Regard to Mr. Horton’s Little Pamphlet. W. P. Horton, county manager for A. W. McLean, is sending broadcast over Chatham county a leaflet in which he says that after a “thorough study of the situation and a full an alysis of the principles enunciated and the policies outlined by the dif ferent candidates, I have reached the conclusion that A. W. McLean, of Robeson county, is the proper man to be chosen next governor.” We were not aware that there was a peculiar situation; in fact we had not heard of the enunciation and we did not know that it was necessary to put the principles through a process of chemical labor to analyize them. But he has brought the compound idea into its component parts to con sider them distinctly. Then he pro ceeds to say “I have reached the con clusion’’ which carries its full weight if you will note that the consonantal sound is a capital letter. A great deal is said in the pam phlet about Mr. McLean being a suc cessful farmer and in regard to the speech made by Mr. Bailey in the 1919 legislature when he paid his respects to goats, sheep, jacks and lady jacks, but nowhere are we able to find in that statement of Mr. Horton’s that the Farmers’ Union, as a solid unit, is backing Mr. Bailey for governor of North Carolina. If he has a record for anything that is detrimental against the farmers of North Carolina, then why should Mr. Stone and the organ ization of farmers be giving Mr. Bailey backing ? •Mr. Bailey is fighting the “ma chine” organization in this state. He has intent to lessen the burden upon the shoulders of the farmer, the la borer and the small home owner and he will be the next; governor of North Carolina. Mr. Bailey in a statement on the “hog and ham” propaganda has said: “I have invited my opponent to come out in the open before the people, and discuss these matters face-to-face; but instead of doing this, I have ab solute information that he is sending around circulars throughout the state. I have no means of following up these circulars, as I do not know to whom he sent them. I think it would be far better if he has any criticisms upon my record, to make them in the open forum —where I could meet them: but since he has chosen otherwise, I am forced to the necessity of making this statement; and asking my friends to give it the widest possible '&y. •>. for me, the officers of thd Farmers’ Union in this State heard mv arguments in the Legisla ture of 1920-1921, against the Revalu ation Act; and in the hearing in 1921 there were present at least 500 farm ers, representing 60 counties. They, at any rate, know my position—and they heard my plea for them in the 1921 Legislature, in response to which the County Commissioners were enabled to relieve many land owners from uniust valuations.” Next week The Chatham Record will publish Mr. Bailey’s full statement in reply to Mr. Horton’s pamphlet and we ask our readers to look for it. As to whether Mr. Bailey is a friend to the farmer or not can be found in this statement from Mr. Stone: An Onen Letter to the Public: Mr. McLean’s friends are trying to make it appear that Mr. Bailey’s speech before the Finance Committee of the Legislature of 1919 was direct ed against the interests of the farm-; ers. This is not true. If the farmers had thought that, they would not have j employed him the following year to • fight Revaluation. Neither would 500 j representative farmers from 60 coun ties in North Carolina have employed him six months thereafter to lead the fight for the repeal of this iniquitious Act. It is worthy of note that the crowd that is now fighting Mr. Bailey—circu lating the Hog and Ham letters —is the same crowd that put the Revalu ation over,’and loaded the farm lands and small homes with millions of dol lars of taxes taken from the Coast Line and other railroads. Mr. Oliver, Mr. Barnes and Mr. Grantham were all members of that legislature. Surely Mr. McLean’s friends must give the farmers of North Carolina credit for knowing who IS, and who is NOT, their friend. They are not fools. They know whom to trust; and what is more, they know whom not to trust.. _ R. W. H. STONE, President N. C. Farmers’ Union. Watch The Record next week fo* Mr. Bailey’s statement.

THEN YOU MUST; NOW YOU CANNOT First Want Republicans to Vote Democratic, Then Refuse the Privilege to Them All LONG & BELL MAKE A DEAL Threaten Three Republicans By Demanding They Vote for Democrats. This election business is a funny proposition and it has caused more f than one farmer, laborer and intelli gent countryman to determine to go to the polls on June 7th and vote their convictions, regardless of the “ring” and “machine” influence. We note by the daily papers that the lines are to be tightly drawn; the electoral board and the attorney general have ruled that poll holders and registrars must be on the job and immediately halt any republican that would dare enter the primary and vote for any man that they deem highly important to fill any particular office. Regardless of the fact that a majority of the citizens of North Car olina may confidently believe Bailey is the logical man for governor of this great state they will be prohib ited from voting for him because the franchised citizens may have at some time voted for a radical. This is indeed strange; it takes a turn that was not anticipated in Chat ham county as early as November, 1922,’when it was attempted to compel republicans to vote the democratic ticket. During the year 1922 there were three men who got mixed up in a case about liquor in some way, Messrs Colon and Charlie Johnson and Claud Ellington, Long & Bell, a local law firm entered into an agreement with Walter D. Siler, who was solic itor of the courts in this district, that if he would nol pros these cases that they would have the defendants vote the democratic ticket in the general election. At least in his letter Mr. Bell says so. Now that the two Johnson boys and Ellington were by conviction republicans at heart, they MUST vote the democratic ticket to save them selves from prosecution. Mr. Bell is a town commissioner for the town of Pittsboro, also secretary and treasur er, for the town. Mr. Long, his partner is a practicing attorney in Durham ' •• "1, MARRIAGE POPULAR COUPLE. Miss Elizabeth Chapin Becomes Bride of Mr. Edwin B. Hatch. On Wednesday, May 22. 1924, at the Baptist church in Pittsboro, Miss Elizabeth Chapin-became the bride of Mr. Edwin B. Hatch, both of Pitts-, boro, the ceremony being performed by the pastor of the bride, Rev. R. R. Gordon. The church was beautifully decorat ed, carrying out the old fashioned idea. An arch, banked with flowers was used with the wedding bell. Miss Emily Thompson, first cousin of the bride rendered two selections, “Trau merei,” and “Minuet in G.” Mrs. Chas. Morrow, of Hendersonville, sang two selections, “All for You,” and “For You Alone.” To the strain of the wedding march from Lohengrin, the bridal party en tered. The bride’s only attendant was ,her niece, Miss Miriam Chapin; Mr. I Rhoades Moxtt, was the best man. j Little Miss Sarah Griffin carried the flowers and little Bobbie Hinton car ried the ring. Miss Thompson softly played “Sou venir” during the ceremony. Mendels sohns wedding march was used as a recessional. The bride and groom left immediate ly after the ceremony for Washington and points north for a wedding tour. They will make their home in Pitts boro upon their return. Mrs. Hatch is the daughter of Mrs. H. T. Chapin and she is loved by all who know her for her winning per sonality. strength of character and lovable disposition. She is a lady of strong personality, a leader in social ; affairs and is active in the general welfare of the community. At the present time she is president of the Woman’s Club of Pittsboro, and she has always been active in all things that were for the betterment of her town and commuunity. Mr. Hatch is the son of the late .Artemus Hatch and is well known in Chatham. When he was quite young his mother died and he made his home with his aunt, Mrs. E. A. Mof fitt at Asheboro. For several years he has been a resident of Pittsboro, hav ing been elected manager of the Ash boro Wheelbarrow Co., soon after his coming to Chatham. He is a splendid citizen and is liked by everyone. The Record joins their many friends in wishing them a long and happy life. GEORGE PASCHAL TO SPEAK. Hon. George W. Paschal, a native son of Chatham, having been reared near Siler City, and known to almost everyone in Chatham, will deliver an address at Goldston next Saturday at* 12 o’clock. He will speak again at Bonlee at two o’clock and also in Siler City at four o’clock. Everybody is urged to hear Mr. Paschal speak at one or the other places named. He is now a member of the faculty at Wake Forest college and is a good speaker. -g, f ♦ and is also a candidate for lieutenant governor of North Carolina. Not only was the trade made for these young fellows to Vote the democratic ticket, but later on a member of the law firm wrote one of the defendants and told him that they MUST vote the democratic ticket and that they MUST have their wives'to vote the demo cratic ticket and that all of them should do so without a single scratch. We also call to mind that in the election of governor four years ago that Wilkes county republicans voted almost solidly for one Cam Morrison to the detriment of Bob Page and Max Gardner. Why should they not be privileged to vote in 1924 if they support the democratic ticket? On, consistency thou art a jewel. The “machine” idea of politics is strongly impressed here and it should have a greater impress upon the vot ers of North Carolina in the coming ■ primary. Will you free bom American citizens let a handful of town lawyers, ' bankers and retired office-fed politic ians demand what you shall do and for whom you shall vote, while you 1 pay all the tax, support the govem -1 ment and they take it easy ? If the time was ever at hand for 1 the people as a whole to assert them selves and demand a fair show it is • now. Every qualified citizen, must go to the polls and vote on June 7th without molestation, and not only that they must see that everythiujg is 1 conducted in a regular manner and an honest way. Stand by and demand it. When you go to the polls to vote »and someone approaches you to ques ; tion you as to whom you expect to vote for, be he friend or foe, lam the stuffing out of him and tell him you expect to use your God given right and liberty and vote few whom you please and that it is none of his business. It is stated that money will be used in this campaign and at the election. We hope that some one who may be tendered money will take it and report it to this paper. We will donate the change you get to charity and consign the donor to his just re ward. If you are offered a bribe .please, let ttSAJmnW it. I ■■ I 11l '■—» MISS DRAKE GIVES A SOCIAL.

Well, of Franklinton, .will come iorrow to spend a few days here £L;;h her sister, Mrs. O. C. Kennedy. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Overby and children returned f from Charlotte Friday. They Fere accompanied home by Misses Dorothy and Bennie Honey cutt and Mildred Freeman. Mrs. Hetfcie Richardson left, last Wednesday for a visit with relatives at Zebulon. Mrs. H. T. Johnson, after a two week’s stay with relatives here re turned to her home at Morrisville Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Lonnie Smith, of Apex, spent a short while here at the home of Mrs. Kennedy recently. Mr. Cliff Mims, of Raleigh, was the week end guest of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Mims. Miss Nell Yarborough, of Sanford, has been on a short visit here to her sister, Mrs. C. H. Thompson. And next Friday, May 30th, is Dec oration Day. On that day we honor our dead heroes by putting flowers on the graves of our fallen soldier boys— not only those of the War between the States, but we also honor those of the late gigaqtic struggle. Perhaps it might be interesting to our readers to know that the first gen eral observance of Memorial Day was in 1868. The idea originated in Co lumbus, Miss., in the Spring of 1866, and from this local memorial obser vance sprang our national Decoration Day, as we have it today. The north ern states celebrate May 30th. North and South Carolina May 10, (Stone wall Jackson, the great southern chieftain, died on that day. Several southern states observe April 26, in commemoration of Johnstons surrender at Durham station, while others cele brate June 3rd, the birthday of Jef ferson Davis. With the thinning line of old veter ans, and the new fine of young ones, standing side by side* this day is indeed an impressive one. There is little chance that Decoration Day will ever cease to be celebrated, for it is im possible to forget our heroic dead, those who made the supreme sacri fice, and too, we should not forget to honor out heroic living, those who faced the horrors of war—not only on the great battle fields of active con flict; but also | tary-Jitfe imeamp—“A great cause and a great sacrifice march on hand in hand.” And when we think of the dead and the living thus united a greater love and a deeper patriotism swells in our hearts, as the poet says: “In the fervor of Thanksgiving We keep Memorial Day.” NEWSY LETTER FROM MONCURE Moncure, May 26.—Dr. J.

Bennett, May 26.—While farmers throughout this section are late plant ing cotton, corn', tobacco, etc. Crops are beginning to start off nicely and they look good. Bennett has always been blessed with enough to live on. Better farming is being done than ever and the farmers are using more improved methods in preparing their land. Cotton is being*planted through out this section this year and with good seasons there will be a larger yield than ever before. About fifty cars of fertilizer was purchased by the farmers in this section. The wheat and oat crops are looking fine. The editor of The Chatham Record was through here last Friday and spoke highly of our little gorwing town. Os course we are proud of Ben nett and the residents are doing all -they can to develop our little town. We have the most industrious farmers to be found anywhere, and all' we need to do is to study our needs more closely and unite on everything that will pertain to the betterment for farmers as well a sthe industries. We can make this section one of the most ideal; we have the soil that will pro duce anything. Bennett will always make something on her farms if any one section makes anything. Mr. W. A.
