B.—Moncure people and the surrounding community re gretted very much to hear of the death of Mr. E. F. Watkins which oc curred last Saturday afternoon at 4 o’clock. He was somewhere about 60 years of age, but he had been in fail ing health for several years. He was almost blind and for many years had to be conducted by his faithful wife from place to place. Daily she would lead him down town and when each one would greet him, he could tell nearly every time who it was by their voice. Before he became so feeble and be come blind, he would walk down town alcne, leaning oh and feeling his way with his cane. He was a member of the Methodist church and showed his love for his God and church by regular and faith ful attendance upon Sunday school and church services. He was kind and had a cheery word for every one with whom he came in contact. He bore his afflictions patiently and without even a murmur. His confidence, trust and faith in Jesus was shown when he expressed himself by saying at the death of Miss Bernice Womble, a few months ago, that he wished he could exchange places with her. Everything was done for him here upon earth by his loved ones and phy sicians, for his recovery, but he real ized his feeble condition and longed to go to heaven to live with sa viour, Jesus Christ, the great physi cian. Funeral services were held by his pastor, Rev. J. J. Boone, at the Meth odist church last Sunday at four o’- ! clock, being assisted by _ Rev. Mr. ! Blalock, pastor of the Baptist church. ! The body was then taken to the ceme tery at Haywood for interment. He leaves a loving wife and daugh ter, Mrs. O. D. Orrell, and grand child, Barbara Orrell. The esteem in which he was held in the community was shown by the large crowd present and the many floral tributes.

Fine Young Man of Silk Hope , Community Thrown Against a Saw. Siler City, Sept. 7.—One of the most tragic accidents in the history of the county occurred about 2:30 o’clock Friday afternoon when Badis Stock ard Lindley, 28 year old prosperous and well known young man of Silk Hope neighborhood, was instanly kill ed at a saw mill, partly owned by him and located about nine miles north east of this place. Present at the mill with him were four of his friends, all of whom were completely overcome by the horrible sight of witnessing the death of their comrade. Walter Johnson, a partner of Mr. Lindley’s was closest to him and told a vivid story of the accident. .Mr. Lindley was standing on the end of tlje carrier approaching the saw, di recting it with the lever held in his right hand, when the handle of the cant hook, which was fastened in the end of the approaching log, struck him with such force that he pitched for ward into the rapidly revolving saw. His companions rushed foward and as quickly as possible stopped the ma chinery and as soon as aid could be secured removed the lifeless body from the saw. The saw severed the left arm at the elbow, the saw in such a manner as to entirely cut the left shoulder loose fromhis body and theh ripping the skull across the back of his head wide open. The body was removed to his beau tiful home a mile distant, where it was prepared for burial and scores of rel atives and friends came to offer help and smypathy to the two young sis ters, who have made their homes with him since the death of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles G. Lindley sev eral years ago. The funeral service was held Satur day afternoon at South Fork church Siler City R. 2 and was attended by hundreds who as they passed the cas ket bore testimony of their love and esteem of one of the community’s esteemed young men. It was said of him that in his large farming inter ests he was unusually successful. The impressive service was con ducted by Rev. Ed Harris, assisted by A. O. Lindley and Alfred Harris. Surviving are three sisters, Mrs. Herbert Moody of Siler City route 4 and Misses Bergie and Vida Lindley, at home and one brother, Leland Lind ley, of Charlotte. The pall bearers were Woody and Arlie Campbell, Kye Glenn, I. E. and A. A. and Ralph Self.

Lee Harmon left September 1 for. Golds ton, where they will teach in the Goldston High School. We regret very much that our pas tor Rev. J. J. .Boone could not fill his appointment at Mt.

A BOT OLB BAY IN CHATHAM 9 YEARS AGO Even Climate Improves—Sixfold Increase in Cape Fear Township Values. Corinth Sept. 8. —The nights are becoming frosty and here it is only Sept. 7. Nine years ago this week your correspondent first set foot on Chat ham county soil and ori that day the mercury stood at 110 in the shade. So we can truthfully say that Chatham county temperature has improved along with its good people, splendid farms and great industries and the taxable value of property of all kinds in Cape Fear township has increased about sixfold or 600 per cent in that time and is still increasing. Can any other Chatham community truth fully lay claim to such distinction. The last thing that we would inten tionally do as a correspondent would be to falsely accuse anyone of a crime or misdemeanor. From the “correc : tion” in last week’s issue we felt such i we had made such a mistake and set about to get the facts, acknowledge our error and offer apologies. We interviewed some five parties whose i integrityiis 'never questioned and were , amazed to find that as one party re , marked, “what was said in the article ’ was not half of what could and should , have been said.” But as this all took place in Lee county and is a job for a ; Lee county grand jury rather than a Chatham county newspaper, there is : nothing to be gained by giving it any more publicity. The Carolina Power and Light Com , pany boys are soon to start another big stock selling campaign. Some 65 of them from all over North and South Carolina will conduct their op ening conference and enjoy a barbe cue dinner on next Tuesday at the Cape Fear Steam Plant. Sunday was preaching day at Buck horn church. Mr. Piland has only two more services before he completes an- I other year of good work with us and goes to conference. His effort Sun day was rewarded by the addition of one new member by conversion. Miss Lois Tutor, a splendid young lady and about 16 summers, joined the church and was baptized into full member ship. We would like to say here that the arrangements for running the school truck to Moncure for high school pu- I pils have been completed. The truck' will start at Truth, follow the main j road around to Corinth, and out by - Delmas O’Connell will be, the driver. Delmas is a good trust-» worthy boy, and will undertake the work in order to gain a chance for, himself and others living near to go , to high school. I Today is election day on the pro- | posed school consolidation. We hope the returns will be completed tonight i in time to be printed in this week’s Record. At any rate we trust. the people will all be interested enough in schools to VOTE one way or the ! other. The ball game at Gulf, with Buck -1 horn, was a close one. The score was at first given out as 7 to 8 in favor j of Gulf but we are informed that the L umpire became “conscience stricken” shortly after the game and had the | score corrected to 8 to 7 in favor of , Buckhom. Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Ashworth of I Fuquay Springs spent Sunday with ’ Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Buchannon. ' ( Messrs Ray Cross and Roy Buch hanan of Raleigh spent Sunday at , their homes in Corinth.

Crissman Present At Funeral of Rev. C. E. Crissman and C. R. Sorrell. Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Crissman of this community attended the funeral of Revs. C. E. Crissman and C. R. Sor rell of Greensboro Saturday. Mr. Crissman was buried in that city, but the body of Mr. Sorrell was sent to Missouri to be buried in the home cemetery by his wife. As related elsewhere in this paper the two preachers were killed in a collision at a crossing just above Lib erty, in sight of Macedonia church at which place they were holding a meet ing. Mr. J. K. .Crissman is confident that his brother and Mr Sorrell were so absorbed in conversation that they were not even aware that they were crossing the railroad. Rev. C. E. Crissman was a native - of Surrey county, but had lived in. High Point many years. He had vis ited his brother near Pittsboro and a year or so ago preached here at the Baptist church. Mr. Sorrell was a native of Wake county, but was pastor of May’s Chap el, this county, during his college day? at Wake Forest. Much smypathy is felt for Mr. J. IL Crissman in the tragic loss of his brother. _ _ , . CHATHAM COUNTY MAN BEATEN BY NEGROES Weldon Dixon of Siler City Re* ported Victim of Chapel Hill Affair. Chapel Hill, Sept 6.—According to a statement issued to police here to day by Geddy Fields, who lives a mile from here on the Pittsboro road, the white man assaulted in the af fray on the Chapel Hill-Carrboro road Monday night is Weldon Dixon, of Siler City. Fields statement that Dixon is alive but seriously injured, suffering from a fractured skull clears up what was at first thought to be a murder mystery. Dixon, according to Fields, came to Chapel Hill Monday night to buy some wearing apparel, but finding all the stores here closed, went on to Carr boro. As he passed the corner of Ab ram’s store, just before reaching Carr boro, he jostled into a negro woman. She made some insulting remarks, in* sinuating that he was trying to knock her down. Without stopping he told her to go to hell. He saw her pick up a rock, but believing that she would do no harm, paid no attention and went on. He had not gone far before he was struck on the head by a rock, whether thrown by a woman or not he could not say, and the ne 'gress began shouting, “Kill him! Kill him!” Dixon, wanting to get into the white section, began to run and a crowd of negroes attracted by the shouting gave chase, firing at him. Ex- , cited and afraid of mob violence, Dix on not heeding where he was going, ran into _ a fence. Here the negroes caught him, beat him up severely and left him on the ground unconscious, sometime later he regained concious ness, and, without full possession of his senses, wandered around finding himself on the road to Pittsboro be fore he came to his right senses. He i made his way to Fields’ bouse where i he was carried to Siler City for med ical attention. MONCURE NEWS. Two Tots Celebrate Birthday—Other Items of Interest. .
