Bennett, Sept. 28.—The Graded
school opened today with the largest
enrollment in its history. There
were twenty-five high school stu

grade studies with the prospects of
ihere being thirty-five. It takes an
average of only thirty to secure a
high school and we feel that this high
school department will be established
here this year. There was the larg

opening than ever before. Prof. R.
L. Forester presided over the meeting.

“America,” Scripture reading by Rev.

' Brick Haven, Sept. 28.—Quite a
! number from here motored to Sanford
. f° r the picture “The Ten Command
‘ ments,” which was presented at the
Wanda Theatre Monday, Tuesday and
■ Wednesday of last week. This picture
should be seen by every individual. It
seems that one should get a closer
conception of the rewards of right
living where one views the heart
breaking scenes that follow the|
breaking of the commandments. We;
wonder if there would be such a small
attendance at Sunday school, or so
many vacant pews at church services,
if people everywhere could see and
understand the lessons taught by this
great picture.
Mrs. O. C. Kennedy was quite suc
cessful in collecting contributions for
the Red Cross last week. She wishes
each contributor to know that she ap
preciates the willingness with which
the call was met. Mrs. Kennedy at-,
tended the Red Cross meeting at Ra
leigh last Friday.
Messrs. W. J. Hannon, J. C. Sea
well, and Misses Cecil and Geneva
Seawell, after spending the week-end
j with home folks near Carthage, has
returned to their work here.
Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Harrington an
nounces the arrival of little Miss
Marian Lawrence, on Monday, Sep
tember 21. We are very glad to hear
the little lady is in our midst.
Miss Frances Thompson, who has
recently undergone an operation for ]
appendicitis at Mary Elizabeth Hos- i
pital, expects to return to her home,
here Wednesday.
Cnee again it has been demorfttrat-!
ed that the farmers of, this and the [
surrounding communities are very j
i careless and indifferent concerning
| their individual welfare. The county J
i demonstrator, we understand, and i
| also the president - of the Chatham i
! County Fair, were scheduled to speak;
at the Brick Haven school building
Friday evening - fn the interest of the
farmers Imagine the chagrin and dis
appointment of the visitors when only
two farmers attended the meeting.
Again we would like to ask why
farmers are so indifferent. Even tho
some of them may feel that the
county has enough expense without
having the demonstrator, the majority
think that the agricultural interests
of the county are bettered by the
services of a man who should have
the welfare of the farmer at heart, it
seems it would be wisdom on the part
of the minority to reap the benefit of
such service. There is no person so
well versed in any line of work or in
any profession that can add to his
knowledge of his vocation, and the ,
farmer is no exception to the rule.
We make these statements not from a
critical view-point, for we realize the
futility of criticism, but it does seem
that the conditions are pathetic. We
hope that when the speaking is
planned again that a group es en
thusiastic, wide-awake farmers will
be on hand, eager for any advice or
information which the demonstrator
may have for the agricultural folk of
his territory.
“On to the State Fatr” is the slo
gan one hears now. Big folk, little
folk, and, in f*ct> everybody is look
ing eagerly forSrard to Fair Week.
Pupils are picking cotton after school
hours and running efrands to earn
money “to go to the Fair on.” Even
the busy housewives, With more work
to be done than one person can pos
sibly accomplish are breaking Cotton
picking records. The latter, though,
are moved to do this extra work more
for compassion for the farmers who
cannot get help to harvest the wast
ing crops than from the desire to at
tend the fair. Anyway, may this be
the best fair yet, and may every
youngster’s dreams, and those of the
grown-ups too, of a gala day. come
true. t

Sandy Creek Association
The Sandy Creek Baptist Associa
tion meets v *' week, near Staley,
at Sandy Creek church. But this is
not the historic Sandy Creek from
which the old association takes its
name. That church, we are informed,
doesn’t now belong to the Sandy
Creek association. But steps should
be taken to get it back into the his
toric body. The Sandy Creek associa
tion is one of the oldest religious or
ganizations in North Carolina. A
century and a half ago it embraced
the larger part of central North Car
olina. - Mr. Victor R. Johnson, of
Pittsboro, is the efficient moderator
and Mr. Darrell Teague clerk.
Wake Forest Beats U. N. C.
Pittsboro folk whether interested in
football games or not could but be
convinced that a great many folk are.
Scores of cars whizzed through the
town Saturday afternoon, speeding
toward Chapel Hill, where was sche
duled to be played the first epochal
’ game of the season. Wake Forest
was to be pitted against Carolina.
The fact that Wake Forest had won
the championship last season added
additional interest to the initial
game of this season. It was esti
mated that 8,000 people were there
for the game. Anyway, the writer
has never seen more cars in Chapel
Hill at one time than he saw Satur
day afternoon. The game itself was
hard-fought. The teams were well
matched. It was not till the last
quarter of the game that a point was
made, and then Wake Forest won six
points and started the season off with
victory over her supposedly strong
est contendant for the season’s
championship. J

and Benjie Nash, an 8-year old, who
was going to show us all how to pick
cotton, started in at 2:30 one after
noon and picked enough to make a
bale of cotton—(s-pound bale.)
Never have the cotton fields down
this way been whiter. Dry weather
has hurt the crop, but not nearly so
much as the wet weather did last year.
