Sunday school reorganized at Buck
Horn Methodist church IVfarch 21,
with Robert Cotten as Superintend

teens. For once we hope age will
forget to criticize youth, and uphold
the hands of a boy who has shoul-
SO great a responsibility.
Mothers and fathers, see that your
children are in Sunday school some
where, encourage them by going
yourselves. Bring them up in the
way they should go and when they
are old they will not depart.

A report of the year’?
read by the secretary, LIHs Margaret
Wombie. This department has stu
died American Music during the year,
taking up pioneer music. An or
chestra has been formed, and dif
ferent musical entertainments have
been secured through this depart
ment.
It was decided to present a very
full and complete musical diction
ary in six volumes, to the school
library. This set of books is very
highly endorsed and recommended and
will be a wonderful aid in musical
programs in *the future.
At the close of the business meet
ing a'vpfcal solo was rendered by
Miss Emily Taylor, accompanied by
Mrs. Victor Johnson.
The Department has been ably
beaded by its Chairman, Mrs. D. L.

Capt. Durham Owns a Stradivarius
* . • /*' * - - - - - - '
In view of the .number of old
violins being reported recently in the
state press, it is interesting to note
that Chatham is not without a Strad
ivarius, and one that its owner claims
can compete with any reported in age
or condition. It belongs to Capt. W.
S. Durham, of Siler City, who says
that the inscription on the back of
the old and valuable instrument
reads: “Antonitus Stradivarius Cre
monifit Faciebat Anno 1716.” But
somehow that inscription, if report
ed correctly, looks “different.” If
genuine, the instrument is 210 years
old, and is probably one of the earli
er creations of the noted violin mak
er of Cremona. The Latin is appar
ently mixed, and the tense not the
usual. Capt. Durham wonders what
the instrument is worth. If genuine,
there is no question that it is ex
ceedingly valuable, that is, if it has
the tonal values of the usual Stradi
varius.
Colored Teachers Last Meeting
The last Reading Circle meeting of
the colored Teachers met at the Pub
lic school in Pittsboro on Friday,
March 26. The day was very in
clement at the time the teachers
should have been leaving their homes
and as many had to come long dis
tances, consequently it was a little
late before a sufficient number gath
ered for the opening.
A good working number having
gathered, Rev. Roberts conducted the
opening exercises and Prof. Thomp
son .then proceeded to outline the
five chapters of book and teacb e ?«
discuss the methods arid -.their ways
of presenting subject matter. ;
Dinner was served by the . com
munity mothers and the teachers of
the school which was voted a treat,,
in the way of refreshments.
As most of the reading done in life
is silent reading, that was stressed
but not to the detriment of oral read
ing. I
It was generally conceded that the
j most practical suggestion .got. from
the book from the writer’s stand
point is to teach the most we can in
the time given to the average child
in the rural districts, use the methods
and devices that will stimulate a de
sire to read and like Kipling’s “Baa,
Baa, Black Sheep,” cause the child
to want to read all the books in the
world.

LIQUOR, GUNS AND WOMEN
\
Sunday a very deplorable, thing
took place in front of the colored Con
gregational church at Haywood.
The Knights Os Pythians and the
Court of Colanthe, both fraternal and
insurance organizations, had assem
bled at the church for their yearly
Thanksgiving and annual sermon.
Immediately after the writer had
responded to the welcome address
on behalf of the Colanthekns and
given out some information from
the insurance office in regards to
Safety’ First, the sound of a pistol
fired in rapid succession broke the
solemnity of the occasion.
Os course, as natural, everyone ran
to see—some even jumped from win
dows, being barred at the door by
the swords of the Knights—(but the
Knights couldn’t resist to see them
selves and took those swords down).
0. Crßbnds a N. C. negro - —awd
Harts Corbett, S. C., were the parties
involved. It seems that Harts lives
in C. C.’s house and had failed to
pay his rent. When he called for
collection, the wife took offence and
claims that the landlord was'not re
spectful in his remarks to her.
Harts works for the Carolina Power
and Light Co. He proceeded to
the avowed purpose of getting C. C.
with his gun, which he did.
.* Breaking up, for a time, the meet
ing, threw a good woman into fits,
and caused some inore nervous at
tahk up Sunday and she and he came
to church Sunday it is understood for
tacks. The real folks here do wish
that something be done to punish
such base offenders of the law. How
can we raise up good citizens out
of our boys and girls when such per
sons are allowed in the community.
Harts Was arrested by the Sir
Knights. Officers Wicker was quick
ly on the scefie and escorted him and
his madam to the county seat, to
see what the county hotel looked like.
