What Good
Does It Do
You to Know
Something? v j
Advertisements in all Papers and
Magazines are all trying to appeal
to the intelligent. Now this one is
for the great majority. Reliable
authority, in fact it was the Draft
Boards during the War, figured out
that the intelligence of the average j
Adult of this Country was that of a
13 year old Child. (Now that is
giving us the best of it because a 13
year old Child is about the smartest
thing we have in this Country), but
the 13 year old Child they referred
to was one who had been raised on (
the milk of human Kindness (which
is mostly Water) and weaned on a
Hard Boiled Egg. You know the
smarter the Man the more dissatis
fied he is, so cheer up, let us be
happy in our ignorance. What do
we care how little we know if we
get what we want? “Bull” Dur
ham needs no Literacy Test, it is
with minority in quality, and with
the majority in usage.
P. S. This last sentence is all that
saved the add.
P. P. S. There will be another piece
here two weeks from now. Look for it.
SIXTY-FIVE YEARS AGO!
In 1860 a blend of tobacco
was bom—“Bull” Durham.
On quality alone it has
won recognition wherever
tobacco is known. It still
offers the public this—more

a lot more money left at the
end of a week's smoking.

an appeal for relief
FOR THE MINE SUFFERERS.
The following telegram received by
Mrs. N. M. Hill, chairman of the lo
cal Red Cross Chapter, is self ex
planatory:
“Mrs. N. M. Hill, A. R. C.,
“Pittsboro, N. C.
“American National Red Cross
request your Chapter giving wide
publication relative to support of
Governor’s request for $35,000.00
mine disaster sufferers. All funds
received should be sent to State
treasurer, J. W. Cunningham,
Sanford, N. C. Send report to
this office showing amount sent. ”
J. Arthur JEFFRIES,
Asst, to Vice-Chairman.
Washington, D. C., May 31, 1925.
Mrs. Hill makes the following ap
peal through The Record, in accord
with the foregoing message:
Pittsboro was the first ttown heard
oi last week to raise a fund for re
lief for the mine sufferers. In a few
hours Mr. D. L. enl with the Ameri
can Legion behind him had SIOO
ready and wanted to know to whom
it should be sent.
Sanford was the first on the ground
with canteen service, and necessities
for the rescue workers. Then General
Bowley with medical corps and
guardsmen from Ft. Bragg. The sol
diers also led by a valiant captain of
artillery worked in the mine and did
service like veterans. Shortly also
General Bowley had field kitchens
brought up from Ft. Bragg and sup
plied solid* and ample food not only
for the army outfit but for all the
miner folks and their families; and
left a week’s supply for the latter
when the camp broke on Sunday as-.
ter the last body had been found.
The ministers from Sanford, Gulf,
Pittsborp and Jonesboro also were
there continuously and miistered to
the bereaved homes and buried the
dead. A number of Salvation Army
| women Were also on the ground on
j errands of mercy And the ladies of
all the officials’ families, McQueens,
j Butlers, and Reeves and many other
were tireless and unceasing in render-
I ing aid and comfort to the workers
| and the mourners alike. Young Mr.
■ Butler with Joe Richardson went in
| the mine after the explosion and
! saved six men, but a second and third
explosion made it of no avail; and tjie
| two heroes themselves were saved on
ly by a miracle.
Truly a pitiful thing was the disas
ter, but afterwards there were many
■'j.eacures that were most inspiring in
the behavior of all the leaders and
the workers alike.
But now the widows and orphans
and dependants of these men who died
|in the discharge of duty must be
cared for, not for a week merely but
some of themffor years. And the sum
of $35,000.00 must be raised accord
ing to a careful and studied estimate
of the Red Cross experts who have
had experience in such things. Mr. J.
V/. Cunningham, a banker of Sanford
has ben appointed treasurer of the
fund. He will disburse every penny
on order of Red Cross officers and
the national organization wil bear all
| the “overhead’ ’expense; and will
! also give $5,000 to the state fund.
| A1 lin Pittsboro who have not al
i I’oady contributed will please give it
|to Mr. D. L. Bell, this week. Every/
j donation will be receipted and ac
knowledged and acounted for in
published reports in a short while.

A HISTORY OF THE OLD
ROCK SPRINGS CHURCH.
On the first Sunday in May, there
was held at the old Rock Springs'
Baptist cemetery, a mile north of
Pittsboro, the annual Memorial ser
vice. There was a large crowd in at
tendance. - y-
The services were conducted by the
pastor of Rock Springs church, Rev.
Z. B. Teel, of East Durham, who
used as his text Gen. 28:10-il6 and
Gen. 31:13. The sermon was very im
pressive and was highly enjoyed by
j all those who heard him. * .
R. E. Cox, a former pastor, was al
so present and made a good talk,
also presenting a sketch of the his
tory of old Rock Springs church,
which was read by the clerk, Mr. P.
T. Farrell, and was much enjoyed.
The sketch is given below for the
benefit of the many readers of this
paper who will be interested ill the
history of the old church:
Rock Springs Church.”
“This church is located two miles
north of Pittsboro in Chatham coun
ty, North Carolina, and it was prob
ably known as the Haw River church
I at first; then by the “Old Fork,” and
finally when it was moved to its pres
ent location, it took the name of
‘Rock Springs.’ It was no doubt, an
arm of the Sandy Creek church, at
j the formation of the Sandy Creek
I Association in 1758, and soon after
ward constituted into an independent
church; consequently it may be con
sidered as the second oldest church
in this association, and Bear Creek
the third. The church records pre
vious to 1817 cannot be found. In 1800
or during the next year, this church
enjoyed an extensive revival of re
i ligion under the ministerial labors of
' Elder George Pope, Elder Elnathan
Davis, we presume, succeeded him in
the ministry at this place.
From 1816 to thr present time, the
following ministers in the order in
which their names occur, have been
the pastors of this church: Elders
Robert T. Daniel, George Brown,
Hezekiah Harman, Thomas D. Arm
strong, William H. Merritt, George W.
Purefoy, Jessie Sowell, and William
Lineberry. The ) deacons have been
Rober{ Ward, Blake Bradley? Stephen
Moore, Richard Webster, Willie B.
Straughan, Ransom C. Poe, Guilford
Petty, Elisha H, Straughan, George
W. Dismukes, tnd C. C. P. Dismukes.
The clerks have been since 1816; Ba
sil Manly, William Lightfoot, V/ .B
Straughan, S. Moore, E. H. Straughan
and Joseph G. Dismukes.
Brother Basil Manly was licens
ed to preach at this church April 25
