CLAIRBONE HOLMES DROWNED.
Clairbone Holmes, son of Mr.* and
Mrs. Oren Holmes, of Durham, was
drowned in Tar River at Louisburg,
Sunday afternoon and was buried
Monday in Maplewood cemetery.
1 Monday’s Durham Herald has the
following account of the drowning:
According to information received
here, young Holmes, who was 17 years
of age, went in swimming in the riv
er near Louisburg in company with
another boy by the name of Williams
but whose place of residence is not
known and other small boys. While
in the water Holmes probably in a
spirit of adventure and to deciding
to test his ability os a swimmer,
concluded to go into deeper water. He
; swam out into water which is said
to be 20 or 25 feet deep where he
became frightened. He was not a
good swimmer, it was stated, and
went under. Young Williams went
to his rescue and attempted to save
him but in the struggle of the
drowning boy for life. Williams found
that he would be unable to save him,
and seeing that both of them were
in danger of drowning the former
gave up the attempt in order to save
himself, it was stated, Holmes went
down the third time while Williams
is said to have gone under the water
twice in his effort to save the drown
ed youth.
Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Hall and Mr.
H. H. Hackney, of Pittsboro, attend

PITTSBORO, N. C., CHATHAM COUNTY, THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1924.
THE ADVENTISTS MEETING.
Tented City in Charlotte Composed of
Men and Women of Two Carolinas.
The Seventh-Day Adventists are in
camp in Charlotte and will continue
in annual session until August 31st.
The membership, or rather delegates
are there from both North and South
Carolina. The main tent is pitched on
a beautiful hill, surrounded by 84-
family tents and tents for the young
peoples’ meetings, reading tents and
a mammoth tent that houises the
records of the secretary, having
been moved from headquarters for
the purpose and convenience of the
representatives there.
It was the pleasure of the editor
to spend about an hour there on last
Sunday in company with Mr. and Mrs.
Henry F. Pike, who are there from
Siler City. To describe the enthusiasm
that it gives one to come into con
tact with these good people is impos
sible in words. The methodical, rev
erent manner and attitude that per
meates the whole atmosphere; the
brotherly love and friendship is won
derful, and on every hand are the
strictest evidence that these people
love their church and are ardent in
their worship.
The camp is laid out with care and
the arrangement was perfect even
to the smallest detail. Water was
piped to the grounds and a reservoir
of ice cold water was on hand; the
living tents are so arranged that all
the comforts of a home can be had,
everyone nicely floored and are as
correct as a household, many of them
being adorned with flowers and th<r
many little nieces of handiwork that
beautify and please.
It would enthuse anv church work
er to visit these Godly atmosphere
and see the true worship that is ren*
dred by the Adventists.

Mr. Ray Cross, of Raleigkh, spent

Mrs. C. W. Cross.
We had a surprise last Saturday
morning down here at Buckhorn, and
this morning we are better off by hav
ing been relieved of one more “lik
ker factory” and at least one, but
likely two of its operators, proprie
tors and promoters. Deputy Bernard
Rosser slipped in all alone from no
body seems to know where, came by
the plant, passed on up the road and
into the woods and in less than 5
minutes, shooting was heard. Then in
10 minutes more Bernard came
marching back down the road-in pos
session of one colored individual, Les
ter Cofield, from over near Merry
Siding. The deputy had made his raid
single handed and caught. his man
with the goods on him. Later in the
day Mr. Rosser secured help, came
quietly back, cut up the outfit and
must have turned out a big batch of
beer or liquor, judging only by the
high smell of the water that comes
down the little branch across the road
we have to travel many times a day.
We deplore the uncalled for and
uninvited entry of politics into oui
school problem down here. Let’s for
get about politics and questionable
policies long enough to go to the
polls on September Bth and vote for
the thing that means the most for
the education of our children.

We witnessed a good, spicy game

Sunday morning when Lacy Par
tridge went down to operate the flat
at Avents Ferry he found the flat on
the Lee county side, tipped up, one
end of a truck in it, and the other
end of the truck under water. It was
learned that about 11 o’clock p. m.,
Saturday four parties (two men and
two women) some of them at least,
under the influence of liquor, had run
their car into the river but in some
way got 6ut alive, leaving a partly
filled jug of liquor and .a letter con
taining a protested check signed by
M. B. McKay drawn on the Page
Trust Company, but paid by the
Bank of Goldston. The truck was from
a piano firm in Goldston and bore
license number 90902.
Mr. J. D. Mclver and his brother
Marvin, went down Sunday morning
to investigate the wreck. Two men
could be seen from a distance but
when Mr. Mclver crossed over to
the wreck the men disappeared and
could not be identified. A wrecking
car from Sanford came down to clear
up the mess but this did not in any
way reveal the identity of the four
individuals.
This midnight prowling around by
both men and women at and near the
ferry is not an uncommon thing by
any means. Our good people who live
near there and have their homes at
this place, and who are trying to rear
their families in a decent atmosphere,
say they are tired of such rot and will
find some way to stop it In the past
anything our people have set about
to do they have found some way to
gain their end.

MOTOR TRIP TO WRIGHTSVILLE.
News Notes of Interest About People
You Know Around Brickhaven.
Brickhaven, August 25.—Mr. and
Mrs. O. C. Kennedy and Miss Ruth
Kennedy will return home tomorrow
from a two weeks stay at Washing
ton, Atlantic City, and other northern
points.
Mr. W. A. Griffin, accompanied by
Mr. S. W. Womble, of Lockville, Mr.
Stroud, of Sanford, and several other
sportsmen, will go to Columbus coun
ty tomorrow for a week of fox hunt
ing. We wish for them a successful,
happy time on the chase, even if
there is a tinge of envy, mingled with
the wish, for what could be more
pleasant than being on a chase. Just
to think of such takes one back to
the memory of the thrilling tales of
life in the old south when the colonies
were young and fox hunting a chief
diversion.
Messrs Grady Truelove, Salter Ut
ley, W. A. Griffin and Miss Annie
Utley returned Tuesday from a short
motor trip to Wrightsville Beach.
They were accompanied on the return
trip by Miss Mary Lee Utley, who
has been visiting her uncle, Mr. A. H.
Marks, of Acme. To one who has
i never visited that section of the state,
we may say that such a trip will be
worth while. Perhaps a most surprise
[ ing thing will be the wide stretches of
waste land along the route. Sometimes
it would seem we would go miles and
miles without seeing a home—just
, white sand a few scattering scrubby
trees and low undergrowth. It seem
ed a veritable no man’s land—lonely
and desolate. As a general thing, too,
with the exception of those between
Fayetteville and Broadway, the crops
were very poor, almost a complete
failure, due to the heavy rains. There
were acres of both cotton and corn
that had no cultivation whatever.
Another thing, too, that strikes one
as being quite a handicap to the city
of Wilmington is the fact that one
has to pay to cross the ferry into the
city. There are two up-to-date, com
fortable “ferry boats” that render the
crossing absolutely safe. The new
“Menantic” can accommodate eighteen
cars, but it does seem that the coun
. ty and city could devise a plan by
which the toll gate could be abolished.
Wilmington is a beautiful city, and
is destined to become the largest in
the state—an honor it held until a
few years ago, when Charlotte with
its thousands of boosters, carried off
the palm, and which is now held by
Winston-Salem. Wilmington is proud
of its historical back ground and
, well it may be, but perhaps its great
, est pride is that it was one time the
home of Woodrow Wilson—that
, matchless patriot and friend of hu
manity.
Mrs. Cora Boovey and daughters,
