The highway from Moncure to Moore’s Bridge is almost impassable. They pretend to scrape this road twice a year and when.it is scraped, rocks and sticks and everything is left in the road which makes it worse. Roads should be made better before new ones are made. READY TO BACK CHATHAM Counties to West Pushing Forward Work on Raleigh-Pittsboro-Lex ington Highway Following a map showing the di rectness of the route from Raleigh through Pittsboro, Siler City, Frank linviiie, and Asheboro to Lexington and points farther west, C. H. Julian, | secretary of the highway association,j presents the interesting and perti nent information given below: “Only 1 automobile out of 10,000 t coming West from Raleigh passes ‘through Chatham county. Why is 1 this ? The Raleigh Chamber of Commerce recently published a map showing the territory within 100 miles of Ra i igh. Pittsboro was not to be found on this map, neither was there a road shown passing through hath am county. Why was this?

Mr. Hubert Cross who for several years has been working for the Caro lina Power and Light Co., at Buck- Horn, has been promoted, he is not at Method. Our sympathy is with the family and Mr. T. J. Harrington, our friend and neighbor of Brick Haven who continues ill at Sanatorium. He is one of the most liked and respected men of the community. His presence and loyal support is being missed in the church and many other places. We hope he may soon be much im proved. Among the sick are Mrs. T. F. Cross and Mrs. Pollard. Messrs. T. Y.

The old fair site has g been abandoned and is to be sold for j residence or business sites and the s fair authorities seem to be inclined j to select the site citicised by the citi zen mentioned, who says: “The people of Chatham have al -1 ways been liberal in their patronage of the State Fair, and for this reason s are interested in its new location. To those who have charge, of the matter, we would ~ respectfully sug gest: • . ' That the Fair grounds, if possible, should be located on a railroad, so as to be easily accessible: j They should be located in a thoroughly respectable neighborhood. And we look with considerable dis ; favor upon any location in East Ra ' leigh, in the Duke’s Corner, Rock Quarry neighborhood. Good people , would hesitate, if not positively de [' cline to carry their families to any such section.” MEETING OF THE AMER ICAN LEGION AUXILIARY The American Legion Auxiliary Unit of Chatham Post No. 57, held • its June meeting, at the residence of • Mrs. J.

FARRELL, Secretary-Pro-Tem. ■' ' | COSTLY DOPE Floyd Sutphin Drives Wildly After Taking Doped Drink in Pitts- rXi boro—Home from Hospital U Floyd Sutphin, a youth of the New Salem community in northwest Chatham is a wiser, if not healthier, boy after his unusual experience . Wednesday morning of last week. The . youngster, according to the report from Sanford, admitted that he had taken a doped drink at Pittsboro early that morning. He went tearing into Sanford at a 60-mile clip, it is estimated; didn’t hold up at all but rushed right through town till he reached the railroad where he drove his Chevrolet’s nose undo: a stand- ** ing freight car, wedging the automo bile and himself so firmly under the - ■"* box car that when the smashing/ of the hind wheels and axle with a sfedge ~** hammer had, failed to lower the car - 2:3 sufficiently to allow the car with its ■ - *• driver to be withdrawn, the box car itself had to be jacked up. ' The youth seemed to be in a bad state and was rushed to Scott’s, hos pital, but, fortunately, it was found ~ that his injuries were not serious, though painful. He has been brought home and the report Monday was that H he was doing very well, though not yet well. * - A Sanford dispatch says; “The boy was first observed mak ing 60- miles down . Hawkins avenue. - He is reported to have hit one-car and narrowly missed others,, at the - ind of the street, his speed would not allow him to turn into either of the ' - L two intersecting streets. He-ran over > the curbing and securely wedged the - Chevrolet under the freight car. All ‘ but the engine of the Chevrolet was' , demolished. NEW ELAM NEWS Due to the continued drouth crops are looking very poor throughout this z section, as they are in most places.™ / i Cotton hasn’t come up in many places. . Some of our farmers are plowing up *' t their cotton and planting corn. ... / 5 I certainly agree with the editor a- , ‘ j> bout the extravagance of the coun- ' i ty with the poor prospect we have, j for crops this year. All expense pos . sible should be avoided, and not make v the taxes any higher than is al>3o - lutely necessary. All others have al-_. ; ways had the advantage of the farm \ ers. The farmer must labor to make anything and ; who does nothing seta the price , what the farmer has for market. Sq I say if possible (and I am sure .it .is) lower the taxes instead o£„raise ['them. /( - I Misses Omita and Edna Hatley en-' , tertained a host of their friends at' 1 / ' , the hospitable home of their parents 2 •Mr. and Mrs. J.
