best ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA—READ BY FIFTEEN THOUSAND PEOPLE EVERY WEEK—CIRCULATED IN FOUR COUN TIES AND LOCALLY. The Chatham Record ESTABLISHED SEPTEMBER 19,1878. CONVENTION HERE SATURDAY. independent Democrats Wil! Meet in 1 Courthouse at 12 O’clock. in The Chatham Record last week e had an advertisement about a ' a-s meeting called to meet in Pitts- T u T on next Saturday in the court at 12 o’clock. Th* same adver tisement is being carried in this pa ner *We told our readers that as soon ?, ‘ ve learned the true nature of the Meeting we would publish the facts. 1 While we have not had opportunity to talk to Mr. Utley or Mr. Thomas, v e have talked to many other people who appear to be vitally interested ant l j n ' sympathy with the undertak en and state that they will be here for the Convention. If what they all s;av can be relied upon, and we believe it can. there will be a tremendous crowd here for the purpose of lending influence to the gathering. It .appears that the prime motive of t he ( i nvention or mass, meeting is to nominate a full independent ticket to jje voted on in the November elec tion. And that it will represent the independent element of citizenship that is not satisfied with the admin istration of affairs in Chatham coun ty, and want to get new officers, es pecially for the legislature and coun ty commissioners. There seems to be a great dissat isfaction as to the manner in which the recent primary election was con ducted. and many go so far as to say that improper methods were used fey some on the day of voting. It is generally known in the coun tv that there is a great dissatisfac tion, and while a third party or an independent party is not for the best interest of any party, this meeting next Saturday is going, to have a great influence on the political situ ation in Chatham. The ticket nominated next Satur day. if composed of worthy me T '. re gardless of party affiliation, will no doubt be elected. It is "ow up to +he leaders and factions of both parties to brush up and put on Sunday clothes if they would command the attention and respect of the average voter in Chatham.

On last Sunday the children, grand children and great grand children of Mrs. Katherine Mclver gathered at her home one mile south of Corinth, in honor of her 80th birthday. They enjoyed the first big dinner and gen eral family reunion they have had in , a long time.

Mrs. Mc i Iver is well and hearty. * She gets about her home, does her own house . work, enjoys a good joke and is as young as any of us. Anyone really wants to kno\v T why i her son, Squire J.D.Mclver, goes about with a smile on his face—knows ev erybody, always speaks and talks to the ladies, not yet married, but still courting. Just talk a few minutes to his mother and the secret will reyeal itself. She is a fine old lady and we wish her Those of her children at i tending were J. D. Mclver, B. M.

Brickhaven, July 7.—Misses Wilma Buchmanan and Irene Seagroves, of Bonsai, were week end guests here of Mrs. Phyl Harrington. Mr. Clinton Seawell, of the Chejo kee Brick Company, spent the holi day time with relatives in Moore county. The plant closed Thursday af ternoon and began operations today, thus giving the force a few days off. The employees thoroughly enjoyed the time and will no doubt be eager to be back on the job again. Mrs. Hettie Richardson has been in disposed for the past few days but we hope she will soon be out again. Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter and daugh ters, Misses Ora and Nora, of Lynch burg, Va., accompanied by Mr. Clyde Morris, spent from Friday until Sun day here with Mrs. Carpenter’s broth er, Mr. C. H. Thompson. The trip was made on a Jewitt touring cai; and the motorists were very enthusiastic over the splendid North Carolina roads. They say the Virginia roads cannot be compared to them—the odds are all in favor of the Tar Heel state when it comes to the question of roads. We appreciate such expressions but we are too familiar with bad roads to feel boastful and only hope that our* own state and every state in the union may devise ways and means by which all roads may be come good roads —and in speaking of bad roads may be able to say truth fully “them days are gone forever.” Miss Eunice Thompson entertained Saturday evening in honor of her cousins, the Misses Carpenter, of Lynchburg. Delicious cream and cake and fruit were served. Those enjoy ing Miss Thompson’s hospitality were Misses Louise Harrington, Audrey Cross, Claire Eve Mims, Annie and Mary Lee Utley and Messrs Zeb Har rington, Leo Buchanan, Harvey Skip i per, Harvard Mims, Clarence Crutch j field, Jennings Wornble, Pete Sasser, Clyde Morris and Bill Cousins.

All those planning to go are asked to be at the school building by 8:30 in the morn ing. There will be means of trans portation for all. Remember anyone who may care to join us is cordially invited to do so. Miss Eunice Thompson is spending ! a while with relatives in Lynchburg,*? ! Va. ‘ - t j The Christian Endeavor meeting Sunday evening was a very enthusias ; tic one. A large crowd was present and all seemed willing to take part in the program. Plans were made to I send a representative to the Richmond convention which will be held July ! 10-14. J ! Quite a number from here spent i the Fourth at Fuquay Springs and stayed over for the Ku Klux parade j in the evening. From all reports the 1 ! K. K. Iv. program was a very thrill- i ing one. The address was exception- ! ally fine, and seems to have made a j very deep impression upon the unusu- ; ally large crowd. Regardless of criti- 1 cism and the mistakes that any or- ! ganization or any individual is liable * i to make, the spirit of the Klan .is un- doubtedlv a commendable one, but why, may we ask, have conditions ! reached the point when men cannot I come out in the open, for law and order—when in order to stand for the right, men must do so secretly? This statement is not intended to commend or criticise, but it • does 1 seem that conditions must be in a | deplorable state if the enemy of' right cannot be dealt with openly. Miss Lida .Mims, of Raleigh, was recently married to Mr. George How ard Ferguson, of Danville, Va. The bride is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. C.

BROWN EYES PIGS MAKE PROFITABLE GAIN. A— ..... red a Balanced Ration om Farm of R. C. Dixon, Near Bonlee. Editor Record:—Mr. R. C.. Dixon is pleased with the results of a feeding j demonstration he has just finished. I Mr. Dixon attended a meeting of i the farmers’ evening class at Bonlee j High School, where Mr. W. W. Shay, of the Extension Service at Raleigh, talked to the farmers about hog rais j ing. Mr. Shay stated that an eight | weeks old pig when fed balanced ra tion, containing some animal protein, [ like fish meal, could be made to put on gains at the rate of a pound and a | quarter per day until he weighed two hundred pounds. I Mr. Dixon had four pure bred Du j roc Jersey Shoats from Mr. R. M. Gor- I rell’s 1000-pound aviator boar, and i since there was not much demand at i the time for pigs, he decided to try . out the proposition and see for him ! self what could be done. The result l was the pigs did better than Mr. Shay said they would do and gained a pound and a half a day for one hun dred days. The demonstration started March 3, j 1924. Mr. Dixon, with the assistance j of Mr. P. H. Nance, teacher of ag riculture of Bonlee high school, weigh ed the pigs, mixed a ration of corn meal, fish meal, wheat shorts and shelled corn to suit the size of the pigs. On June 13th the pigs were killed | and sold on the Siler City market and showed gains as follows: Weight of the pigs (live weight) at the end of the feeding period: Pig No. 1, 208 pounds; pig No. 2, 223 pounds; pig No. 3, 197 pounds; pig No. 4, 192 pounds. Total weight of four pigs 820 pounds. At beginning of feeding period period weights were as follows: Pig No. 1, 55 pounds; pig No. 2, 58 pounds; pig No. 3, 53 pounds and pig No. 4, 52 pounds. Total weight of four pigs at beginning 218 pounds. Gain in live weight 602 pounds. The pigs dressed 658 pounds,* which was 801% of the live weight. The returns on 658 pounds of pork at 15clb was $98.70. Feeding cost, 153 pounds fish meal. $4.97; 605 pounds corn meal $12.10 126 pounds shorts, $3.15 and 884 pounds of com $17.68, or a total of $37.90, leaving a return above the total cost of $60.80. These pigs gained 602 pounds live weight and dressed 80% of live weight, 80% of 602 pounds—4Bl.6 pounds, (5) 15c. is $72.24, less cost of feeding $37.90, leaves a balance of $34.34 to pay for the labor of feed ing the pigs and marketing them. A FALSE REPORT. It has come to our attention that certain irresponsible parties have been circulating reports to the effect that in the recent primary election, at Oakland precinct, minors, non-res idents and other parties not entitled to vote, were permitted to vote. We take this method of saying that such reports are absolutely false, as none except those under the law clearly entitled, were permitted to vote. This July the sth, 1924. C. M.
