Corinth, March 23. —Mrs. D. A.
Clark spent Sunday at Star, visiting
her daughter, Mrs. W. A. Allen.
Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Horton spent
Sunday visiting relatives at Chalybe
ate Springs.
Mi. A. M. Pollard, who was very
sick for a few days last week, is
much beter.
If you ask Mr. Joseph Dickens how
he is getting along he always says,
“not much,” but we always note that
he is up and about as well as any
man for his age.
They say that one day last week
someone sat picking a banjo, and
all at once Mr. Lonnie Mims jump
ed up and went thru some fancy steps
that would do credit to a profession
al buck and wing dancer.
One day last week Ed Marks who
operates a store at Corinth missed
1 some money and merchandise from
his store. On looking around he found
j where some one had gained entrance
! into his store by crawling through a
■ window. A few hours later evidence
came in from someone that a quan
tity of nickels and dimes and cigars
had been displayed by a 16-year old
boy of the neighborhood. Armed with
this and other convincing evidence,
Ed and a friend drove down to the
boy’s home. The father and brother
; in-law of the boy came out with rocks
and pitch forks, so the story goes,
and were very abusive. Did not wait
for Ed to say that if he could get
| his goods and money back that would
end the trouble. Ed then got papers
out for the parties arrest. Then it
seems that the father woke up and
offered apologies, but a preliminary
trial was ordered anyway. When time
came for the trial the boy had disap-'
neared, and so the unfortunate mat
ter stands.
Mrs. W. H. Mims,- who was killed
jin the awful motor accident near
Sanford Sunday, was a sister of Mrs.
L. H. Mims, of Corinth. This acci
dent was not the result of the reck
lessness of anyone as they were all
j highly respected, law abiding citi
zens.

ESTABLISHING MOVIE SHOW.
, Pittsboro, unique in not having a
moving picture show, is to lose that
distinction, and that soon. Messrs
Moffitt and Phillips, of the Asheboro
Wheelbarrow Company, have already
secured a room for such an enter
(prise, have ordered the screen, chairs,
and even engaged the pictures.
The show will occupy the building
near the court house, recently occu
pied by Lanius Brothers and form
erly the home of The Chatham Rec
ord. The building is being renovated
for the purpose.
The first show will be Harold Bell
Wright’s “The Mine With an Iron
Door.” The day for the opening can
not yet be set, but will be within
three weeks, if nothing happens.
Mr. Moffitt says that there will be
a name contest held, a free season
ticket to go to the person whose
suggestion for a name,is accepted. So
get on your thinking caps.

REVIEW OF GOVERNOR’S
ECONOMICAL PROGRAM.
Securing Needed Information
for Budget Committee to
Be Appointed at Early
Date.
Raleigh Times, March 25.
■ “Day by day in every way” Gover
nor McLean is advancing his econo
my program.
The latest development along this
line is memorandum No. 4 of the
Budget Bureau, issued by His Ex
cellency today as director of the bud
get. The memorandum is the first
step towards putting into effect the
law enacted by the recent session of
the General Assembly to require per
sons who are able, to bear the ex
pense of their care and treatment in
such institutions as the State Hos
pital and the School for the Deaf and
Blind.
Mr. McLean issued memorandum
No. 3 of the Budget Bureau Tuesday
afternoon. It directs the heads of the
various institutions and departments
to sumit to him by April 20 classified
statements of salaries paid subordi
-1 nate employes. The information is
requested for the Salary and Wage
Commission, the fife members of
which Mr. McLean said he would ap
point in the near future.
Wake Body’s Powers.
The act to establish the Salary
Commission gives it power to regu
: lace the pay of subordinate employes
of the government. The members of
the commission are to be named by
I the goverior on or before April 1.
! Memorandums Nos. 1 and 2of the
I Budget Bureau came out last week.
Ore provided for putting into effect
the law tc prohibit the private use
cf aott■moliles and institutions to se
cure automobile supplies Irjm the
State Highway Commission garages, j
I instead of buying such supplies inde- j
pendently at retail prices. The other ;
was designed to better the? purchasing j
systems of the numerous state agen- j
cies. It ordered the appointment of j
official purchasing agents and the ap- j
proval or disapproval of all vouchers
by the proper authorities before they
are issued.
Aside from all this, the governor i
has requested Secretary of State W.
N. Everett to furnish him with sta
tistics concerning the amount of
! printing done at his direction.
New Memorandum.
Memorandum No. 4, issued today, is
directed to the executive officers and
directors of the State Hospitals at
Morganton, Raleigh, Goldsboro, Cas
well Training School, State Home and
Industrial School, Morrison Training
School, School so rthe Deaf and Blind j
and the Tuberculosis Sanatorium.’
“The directors of the budget re
quests that, within the next sixty
days, each of the above named insti
tutions make careful investigation as
to the dependency of eacji patient, pu
pil and inmate, in each, institution
and ascertain which are financially
able, in I 'their own right, or through
others who are legally liable, to pay
for these dependent patients, pupils
and inmates,” reads the memoran
dum.
Attention is called to the new law
to require each patient to bear their
own expense.
“This act,” contiues the memoran
dum, “specifically provides that the
patient, pupil or inmate, or his parent
(whether father or mother), guar
dian, trustee or other person legally
responsible for the patient’s mainte
nance, shall pay monthly, the whole
or such portion of the cost incurred
in the care of the patient, pupil or
inmate, as they are able to pay.
The full powers and duties of the
board of directors and trustees of the
above institutions are set forth in
the act and there is sufficient legal
machinery to enforce the rights of
the state against all persons solvent
and liable.”
No Assistant Yet.
His Excellency has not yet appoint
ed the assistant director of the bud
get, but Carl K. Hill, of the auditor’s
office is assisting him in the work
of the newly-established bureau.
The information requested of the
Secretary of State relative to the
number of copies of the laws printed
and distributed is desired for the
purpose of decreasing the State’s
printing bill, if possible. Expenses
along this line will have to be cut
somewhere in order to come within
the printing appropriation, which has
been lowered from approximately
$191,000 a year to $150,0000.

!lish the Salary and Wage Commission

COURT PROCEEDINGS.
Very few cases were tried during
last week’s court. In fact, Judge
Bond quit Friday at noon ,and as
, three long cases consumed practi
j cally the first four days, there wasn’t
, much time left for the trial of pther
| cases.
! The jury which, at the time The
j Record went to press last week, had
j the case of Edmon Snipes vs. The
I Atlantic Bridge Co., could not agree.
| One man held out for an award of
$2500,- -whiifr eleven voted for s7s‘o.
At nopn Thursday, Attorney Horton,
representing Snipes ,agreed to accept
the award of the $750 rather than f
i have a new trial. Snipes sued for
$25,000 for injuries received while
the Company was building the Rocky
River bridge.
George Eubanks won over Tommie
DeGraffenreidt, in a case of the own
ership of a mule.
In the case of E. E. Walden J. {
K. Barnes, .administrators vs. The;
Puoenix Public Utility Company and j
The Carolina Power & Light Co. for |
damages for the death of Leon H. j
Chestnut ,the jury, decided in every |
! point against the Phoenix Public Util
j ity Co., the Carolina Light & Power
j Co., having been released from the
action as being responsible. The jury
awarded damages to the extent of
$6,500. Expert witnesses in the .case
were Drs. Cathell, C. L. Scott, T. C.
Kerns, W. B. Chapin.
The case of W. M. Scott vs. N. &
S. R. R. Co., for.-fire damages, was
compromised, Scott receiving $170.00.
W. B. Wilson in a similiar suit or
case received $125. Also, in a second
case, Scott was awarded $55,00.
In a case of Rollins vs. Truelove it
was adjudged that neither owed the
other.
There will be a regular meeting of

"THE NEW SALARY BILL. f
In giving the Record a list -of-' the
pew laws affecting Chatham cefinty
directly, Representative Barber inad
vertently omitted the county officer
salary bill but reported it to us
this week, lest some one should think
the omission intentional. The bill
was introduced at the request
of the county commissioners who
wirfhed to be relieved of the respon
sigility of making allowances for
uepuues and clerk hire, and the pres
ent dost of help was the basis upon
which the salaries were figured.
The sheriff’s salary has been $2,000
with an allowance of $2,300. for as
