MAY BUY ELECTRIC PLANTS. Carolina Light and Power Company Takes Options on Property. For several weeks the Carolina Light and Power Company has had an option on the plants of the Sand hill Power Company and also on that at Lockville of the Moncure Manufac turing Company. These options take first opportunity of a sale, provided certain conditions are met, regarding franchises, deeds, titles, etc. However, up to Friday night when we discussed the matter with an of ficial of the Carolina Light and Pow er Co., no deal had been made furth er than the option. It would be a decided advantage to both Siler City and Pittsboro to see that conditions are made so that the deal could be put through, as well as Franklinville, Ramseur, Liberty and. all the other towns using cur rent from one or the other of these plants. If we understand the matter cor rectly the Carolina Power Co., is wil ling at any time to close a deal, pro vided the conditions are met. Yet they are not making any effort to take over any property for less than what it is worth, neither do they want to pay more for property than its mone tary value. There is no instance on record where a municipal owned plant paid its way. It is always best to let a corporation to handle the power ques tion. There should be no quibbling on the part of Pittsboro at least. We are now at the season of the year that low water may knock us out of cur rent and we have installed much ma chinery in the town that is pro pelled by electricity. Many firms would suffer a hardship were the plant to close for even a part time* Siler City needs the better current as well and it will certainly be prof itable to both towns to make every ! effort to close a deal before the dry ! weather sets in. The Record has positive knowledge j that no deal has been made to last i Friday and we hope that no one will ; be misled into the idea that the pur j chase has been made and lose valu able time waiting for the change, when they could become active and assist in putting over a deal.

PITTSBORO, N. C., CHATHAM COUNTY, THURSDAY, JUNE 26,1924. .v&Sh to: ggiIiiSBEBiwBBBBgBSgSiSBBBS«gBB!iBBgSBwaaag&: : . : Sgjs>:-»S8Sl nli ' Hfl ONE OF CHATHAM’S MOST LOVED i AND WIDELY KNOWN OLD COUPLE L ; (Written by a grandson.) < ; To the various readers of the Chat ’ ham Record and their many staunch . friends also, the above photograph i of such faithful and staunch Chat -5 hamites will afford pleasure and in— r terest and is of people familiar to ' more than one generation. They are ’ amon gthe oldest of our citizens, hav , ing lived their time honored ages of 80 and 88 respectively. They bear testimony to the longevity of life and ! peaceful contentment you can live in [ our healthful and bountiful county _ Do we think often enough of its re ’ markable people and of Chatham’s many natural blessings toward good [ living? With it’s abundance of water power, pure water to drink, ample timber, it’s fertile soil that produces the fine vegetables and fruits for us, and Chatham’s unusually good amount , of rare game of many kinds, coal and ore and other resources, all of ! which are such assets that contribute ' to the welfare of mankind. Let us ’ not forget these native Chathamites . of ours that we know possess natur ' al qualities for straightforwardness 1 and congenial nature and a generous hospitality that knows no limit, which, ' if we will reflect, is a characteristic ' of Chatham folks to a great extent. In the picture we have Esquire ; Robert M. Burns and Mi's. Robert M. Bums. To thus mention elsewhere j many there are who would have them happily in mind as component parts ; of Pittsboro itself, so to speak, it may be said, for widely distributed are . their hosts of friends and long ago ’ acquaintances. In the picture we have a most . unique happening of long time sub i scribers to the CHATHAM RECORD. Mrs Burns is reading the RECORD and Mr. Bums is hearing the news This was taken entirely unknown to ; either of them ,until the picture came through <the mail one day sometime ' ago from El Paso, Texts, with greet ’ ings and well wishes from a former 1 guest. Mrs. Burns is reading to Mr. Bums ; political news probably of some graft ing steam roller type of politician that has been causing the tax rate to go up excessively. That being the ; cause, it is a safe guess that ’Squire ’ has just expressed his frank opinion of him and his advocated political policy. However they were proceeding with other news also at the time this j [ was snapped, you may note. ’Squire Bums is keen for politics and has al ways been one of the Democratic par ty’s stalwart supporters “thereof.” In this picture we have also the historical dramatic fact of the Con federate soldier, and the beloved wife companion and helpmate, actual actors in the scene of supreme tragedy that commanded the audience of Christen dom. We of this speedy age do not sometimes grasp without a second look what the Confederate soldier re ally signifies. She is silvery grey at 80 and this grand old man at 88 are the incarnate survivors of an experience with Lee and Jackson that almost broke the nineteenth century in twain for half the world. Our grand old man and Confederate veteran, when in his youthful years and in prime of life, marched off to war in 1860 to defend his beloved county of Chatham, his State and last but not least his fel low countrymen against the oppress or of the South. He was artilleryman and in several battles he stood brave ly and faithfully by the cannon, lis tened to its powerful thunderous roar,- speaking for the South, as it pealed forth blazing volley after volley. And he stood mid the smoke and glory re plenishing its fill of shot and shell at Manassas! At Seven Pines! and other historic and similar places that have a direct bearing on the fame of a nation. When by fate Stonewall Jackson was accidentally killed at Chancellors ville, and then being overwhelmed in equipment and arms and in numbers of soldiers, but in these only however, for in the words of Gen. Lee, the Con federates were “outfought never”. Our Confederate shared with hfe comrades, saw and suffered the desolate loss, and that which followed thereafter from Sherman. Having done the best he could, which is all an yman can do, c Y . *«• - ■-» , f v i x !• V ♦ * our old Confederate had to» set out on foot to accomplish the task of getting away back home in Chat ham from Fort Delaware. In his long walk, there set out with him his mess mate, “Mac.” the late Rev. James E. White, of Wake. Both completing 1 the journey but only after a strenuous i hardship requiring weeks. Today Mr. Burns and Mrs. Burns ! are successful Inn keepers of a wide ! and interesting experience. ’Squire I Burns is also one of our valuable Justices of Peace,* being renowned for having tied the matrimonial knots often and has probably made as many people happy as anybody in the coun ty. He still has a supply of ready and witty jokes, can recall events and dates as though they were the pres ent. Those he relates as to the late Gov. Zebulon B. Vance are especially humorous and interesting as well, hav ing carried Vance thru this county on his horse and buggy in his memor able campaign for Governor. M4fc<®amsYfc still energetic and ac tive for her age, and possesses that chief characteristic of a Southerner, in her love for fair play, the foun dation of which is justice. During the war of the sixties she actually wove the cloth that she sewed into uniform wearing apparel then presented it complete to the Confederate army that it was so badly in need of. Now her way of cooking fried chicken, hot waffles, light bread, partridges, good coffee and other good foods has caus ed many persons to travel in his vehicle and over the railroad to Pitts boro to get something really good to eat. Even to this very day, her reci pes compare favorably in their seasoning and delicious flavor of fine preparation with the best anywhere, those that eat at the tables she sets say. She is a remarkable and compe tent woman and it may be well said they are beloved by many and are a wonderful old couple in many ways. i— i CAUGHT IN ACT VIOLATING LAW Several Men Taken at Buckhorn Ac count Net Fishin*. Four or five years ago the legisla ture passed a law prohibiting fishing in Haw river or its tributaries in Haw river township with nets, sein ing or dynamite. Many people who went to Buckhorn from other sections of-the state, went there to catch fish, no matter what method they used, provided they got the fish. They would slip nets into the creeks emptying in to the river at night and before day they would be taken up. Dynamite was used and many fish were destroy ed. Then crowds came to Buckhorn, not only to fish, but to drink and carouse around, cursing and doing all kinds of stunts, so much so that the citizens who lived in the immediate vicinity became tired of it. They sent to Wilmington for a man to come to Buckhorn and §top the midnight disturbances. He came and got on the job. It did not take many moons before several of the net fish ers were in the toils of the law. The men were taken to Raleigh and tried before a magistrate who fined them S2O each and the costs. Several warrants are out for oth ers who, if they are not careful, will soon feel the strong arm of the law. The citizens around Buckhorn say they are tired of these sleep disturb ers and they are going to put an and to it. WE DON’T KNOW WHY. We note that many of the cities and smaller towns in North Carolina are carrying out the purposes or the law and advertising the financial state ment of the several towns. We don’t know why Pittsboro does not do this, but it would be nice for the tax payers to know just how their money is being spent. There is no question whatever but that the administration of affairs in Pittsboro is as good as any town in North Carolina and far superior to most of them, yet folks* just natur ally want to know where we stand. A statement of our financial condi tion and a budget published would make us all feel pretty good. ’iSpIEE ARE PRIZE WINNERS. £ is Lena Coley Best, Followed by Charlie Brooks and C. Hough. Joe Snyder has decided that Miss jllena Coley, Rt. 4, Jonesboro, won the llix months free subscription to The Chatham Record, because she answer ed correct all the way through and her letter was the best from the point of arrangement and construction. He recommends to us that Charlie Brooks at Rt. 1, Ore Hill, be given a sub scription too, and that Clarence Hough, Goldston, N. C., sent in a very creditable letter. So we are go ing to give a six months subscription to Charley as well as Miss Coley and also give a three months subscrip tion to Clarence. A singular circumstance about Miss Coley and Charley Brooks is the fact that their letters were recived in the same mail, they were postmarked at the same time and they are both 20 years old. Clarence Hough says that they take The Record but that there are ten in the family,.and when all have finish ed with it, the old riddle is verified: “First white, then black and then red all over” The answer to the word was MUSH and is reversed below to show how it now looks, using the same letters we had on the 12th: IMU s h >i There were 81 answers received to r the puzzle and 20 of these were abso- j ■ lutely correct, both as to the rules • and the correct word. The winning! : answers were given on condition of 3 neatness and general arrangement, Os the 81 received, seven did not cer -3 tify that they had received no help; s ten addressed the letter to The Chat s ham Record instead of to Joe Snyder; J four did not say whether a member of • the family was receiving The Record ; or not. There were twenty-three out r of the 81 that stated that The Record ■ ■ did not go to any member of the I family and a sample copy is being 1 l mailed to each’ of them this week. j We are proud of the interest that i is being taken in our puzzle depart r ment and we hope to make it even ■ more interesting in the future. l In the next issue of The Record ■ another puzzle will be printed and we want our friends- to watch* for it. : ENJOYABLE SOCIAL EVENT. } ■ ■ ■— ■■ ’ Mr. and Mrs. Lee Harmon Entertain ’ ed at Home of Mrs. J.
