MARSDEN LONDON
BREAKS THIGH BONE
Marsden London, son of Mr. Frank
London of Charlotte, who was visit
ing his uncle, A. H. London, had the
misfortune to break his thigh bone
a few evenings ago while playing
with a football. The youngster was
taken to a Raleigh hospital, where
he will have to lie in bed several
weeks.
Pittsboro seems to have a fatal
ity for Frank. Only last year while
on a visit here he broke his collar
bone.
HIGHWAYS 90 AND 93
Much fine work has been done on
highway 90 since the state took it
over several weeks ago. Good brid
ges have been constructed over all
the smaller streams, or will have
been completed by the end of this
week. Earlier in the year, soon af
ter the decision to take the road over
bv the highway commission, Moore’s
bridge was rebuilt and is now strong
and convenient.
For weeks the cement bridge over
New Hope at Seaforth has been un
der construction and fine headway
has been made upon it. It seems
probable that the great structure
may be completed within a few
weeks. In the meantime, a make-1
shift crossing has been used, one j
however which has readily served the j
traffic.
A big force of hands and trucks 1
have been engaged in top-soiling,
with the result that the job is being
completed this week and a fine road
bed is provided for this short line
to the state capital.
The highway from Pittsboro to
Graham, recently taken over by the
state, has been designated as 93. The
force that has been at work on 90,
it is staetd, will go to 93. Accord
ingly, the spring should see a great
improvement in that important
stretch of road which leads through
the prosperous northwestern section
of the county.
A NOTE OF THANKS
We wish to thank our many good
friends from Brown’s Chapel who so
unmercifully (?) pounded us last
week. We appreciate the intrinsic
value of the goods but even more the
thought and love that prompted the
generous giving. We should like to
mention each friend and each ar
ticle, but the number is too great.
Upon each one we pray God’s bless
ings, both in a temporal and a spiriti
ual way. May we work and pray to
the end that wre may be happy and
successful in the coming year, not
only at Brown’s Chapel but at each
of our churches.
MR. and MRS. C. M. LANCE.
BIRD SEASON OPEN
Hunters this year could not spend
Thanksgiving Day shooting partridge,
hut the season opens today, and it
is probable that the fields and the
woods will resound with many a
shot at the plump birds. But don’t
forget th |t license is required for
hunting except on one’s lands or
landlord’s, and that written permis
sion even when you have license must
he secured before hunting on ano
ther’s lands.
With that condition in the iaw r , no
farmer needs to post his lands. They
are already posted by the terms of
the law. But it will be necessary for
him to see that any trespasser is
prosecuted or the law will be a dead
letter.

TK Chatham Record
Rambling and Scribbling
The Editor Gives an Account of The Towns and People Seen
In Two Days of Subscription Work Last Week
The Record man has been trying
o see Chatham folk on Fridays and
Saturdays for the past three weeks,
)ut they are hard to find anywhere,
the small number of people visiting
my of the Chatham towns during the
lays of the past two months has
been notably small. And when one
passes through the country it is sel
dom that you see a man about the
farm home. Just where the people
are is hard to determine, but the
amount of work evidently done in
dicates that they have been at home
to work. • <
Dropping down from Siler City to
Bear Creek Friday afternoon, we
found very few folks in that good vil
lage, and took advantage of the good
nature of Mr. T. B. Beal, one of the
county’s most faithful and accomo
dating RFD carriers, to ride over
to Bennett that afternoon. There
we found quite a little bunch of farm
ers, but they were Randolphians, for
the Randolph line lies only two miles
distant, and we did not waste breath
upon these out-of-Chatham folk, for
if there is anything that a man needs
it is his oWn county paper and any
thing that he does not specially need
it is the paper from another county.
Though, of course, the native of
Texas, finds great pleasure in the
home paper.
However, we found the business
men of Bennett on the job, and soon
had gathered a nice list. Mr. J. E.
Jones, an intelligent farmer and
business man, started us off; Dr.
Denson, one of the state’s handsom
est physicians followed suit, and
then it was simply a matter of see
ing the rest and enrolling them, all
but two or three who were either
so broke or so pesky that .it would
have been necessary to whip them
to get them to come across, and we
couldn’t afford that as we had on
that new sls suit from Wrenn Bros,
liquidation sale which we have been
advertising the past few weeks. But
the next time the new will probably
be worn off.
Lester Routh, a business young
ster who has recently taken charge
of the case came next. Revs. J. C.
Kidd and E. A. Livingston vill lead
the Record. Mrs. W. W. Brown, one
of the busiest shop keepers, of the
town, joins the land; Mr. J. R.
Brewer, locomotive engineer on the
railroad gives us a check; Ed. S.
Phillips is put on the list as corres
pondent," having got off whe nthe
list was burned. Mr. J. W. Yow had
his joke about Bennett’s having two
preachers and -a Peace and we col
lected a subscription, for it.
Bennett, like other Chatham towns
has had a tough experience the past
three years, but the folk seem in
good heart and are as genial and
kind as on our first visit three years
ago.

..ook up young C. L. Powers, who is
coming home from school, for he
and his brother, J. E., are both teach
ing, and the young fellows deserve
credit. Their father said he had no
education, and was doing the best
for the boys, as he felt the need of
it., The family will have the Record.
And yonder is Harper’s Cross Roads,
a community we had often heard
mentioned but had never seen until
Fat afternoon. Mr. D. H. Ellis, one
>f. the two merchants of the village,
vas found to be a most genial gen
leman, and came across with a
full year’s subscription. Mr. F. Y.
Moon, the other merchant, also will
have the Record. Here we met the
two fine crescents, Misses Leola and
Lillian, who will one day shine in
full splendor, when more than one
youth will be Moon-struck.
Harper’s Cross Roads is probably
one of the oldest communities, in
that part of the county, and probably
one of the very oldest in the county.
Some one should dig into the history
of the community and let tis have
something of it in the Record. >
Time forbade stopping at the vari
ous prosperous farm homes on the
road, the thing that "We should like
to do in every part of the county,
and here we are back in Bear Creek
at night fall, when Mr. Beal, telling
us that the village boasts no hotel or
boarding house, kindly takes us in
charge for the night, after we had
patronized Mr. Joe Dunn’s case, only
to find Mrs. Beal with supper on the
table for two.
It was a pleasant evening in the
Beal home. Mr. and Mrs. Beal are
hospitable to the core, and a good
oak fire, and a radio with any kind of
entertainment on tap, made the eve
ning all the more pleasant. The one
child, little Florence, each night
hears a Santa Claus story over the
radio that; attunes her for the old
gentleman’s visit only a little more
than three weeks from now.
With morning we greet Mr. and
Mrs. Emerson, Mrs. Fitts and Mr. and
Mrs. Brooks, Postmaster G. C. Phil
lips, and divers others during the day !

Among those we did see were those
staunch citizens, A, F. Willett, B.
F. Wilkie, N. D. Hilliard, R. L. Phil
lips, R. N. Boyd and J. W. Loyd. j
Over there that day was Mr. Will j
D. Thomas, of Durham, a native of
the community who has lived in the
tobacco city for the last few years,
and when it was seen that few would
come to the village that day we
jumped in with him and came home.
NEW HILL ITEMS
Last Sunday was an ideal day and
the birthday dinner given Mrs. Bet
tie Thomas was a success in every
respect. Early Sunday morning rel
atives and friends began to arrive
some who had not visited the home
in quite a while, and not only was
the house full of guests, but the spa
cious oak grove was thronged with
people. The hostess on her 74th
birthday anniversary received the
callers in a cordial manner. The
many useful and appropriate gifts
were placed in her room. Mrs. Tho

CLYDE OLDHaA/I DEAD
* Mr. Clyde Oldham, a fine young
hian of the Antioch section, died
Friday after an illness of only 36
hours.
Mr. Oldham was employed for two
years at the Bynum factory. Last
spring he went back to his father’s
farm near antioch church on Gold
ston road, to take charge of the
farm, as his father was feeble. He
made a good crop but, having gath
ered it, went back to Bynum and
took a night job at the factory. Last
Wednesday night he was stricken
with a pain that almost bent him
double. He was hurried to Dr. Chap
in who gave morphine. Mr. W. R.
Oldham, his brother, who lives at
Pittsboro, was summoned and the af
flicted young man was taken to the
former’s home, where he continued
to excruciating pain. On Thursday
afternoon Dr. /Palmer of Gulf was
summoned to consult with Dr. Chap
in, and as a consequence the yunog
man was taken to a Sanford hospital,
where it was discovered that in ad
dition to the pain which still kept
him drawn almost double, he was
suffering from a leaking heart, that
forbade an operation. Moreover, the
Sanford physician was sure that he
had only a 'short while to live, which
opinion was confirmed by the young
man’s death on Friday afternoon.
Burial preparations were immedi
ately begun on Saturday the
body was laid to rest in the church
yard at Anitoch. The funeral ser- j
vices were conducted by Pastor Car
den of the Antioch church, assisted
by Rev. R. R. Gordon. A great
throng ul liicpds an.i lelativcs were
present to pay their last respects.
The deceased is a son of Mr. A.
H. Oldham. .He leaves besides his
parents a young wife but no chil
dren. Jhe wife was still at the farm
when the husband became ill.
Iwo brothers and four sisters sur
vice, Messrs. W. R. Oldham of Pitts
boro and S. E., of High Point, and
Mesdames Robt. Hearne and Sam
Dowd of Baldwin township, and
Misses Jeannie and Margarett.
Fortunately, the young man had
an insurance policy of SIOOO, the
next premium on which was payable
within a week.
Much sympatlhy is felt for the
stricken family.
TO DISPLAY NEW FORD
Pittsboro will get its first full de
scription of the new line of Ford
automobiles, tomorrow.
A public reception to be held by
local dealers is part of the national
introduction of the new Ford models.
In thousands of communities all over
the United States tomorrow, Dec. 2,
this new line of moderate-priced
light automobiles will be introduced
to millions of people.
The doors of the showrooms are
to be opened promptly at 7 o’clock
a. m. and attendants will be on hand
throughout the remainder of the day
to explain the new and interesting
features of the car which is expect
ed to make a new chapter in auto
motive history.
The new Ford cars are said to be
the product of several years of study j
and planning by Henry Ford and his!
engineers in the great Ford labora
tories at Dearbord. Mr. Ford him
self has announced that “there is
nothing quite like the , new Ford
car” and has stated that it will prove
just as great a pioneer in the pres
ent field of low price light cars of
quality as the famour Model T was
a pioneer in its field for more than
nineteen years.
Among the visitors to the recep
tion tomorrow will be many officials,
executives of business, civic and pro
fessional organizations and other
leaders in the life of the community,
who have been specially invited.
Local dealers have been notified
by Ford officials at Detroit that the
factories throughout the country are
now preparing to produce the new
cars in numbers exceeding even the
tremendous production records ach
ieved in the manufacture of the Mod
el T line.
Company officials at Detroit also
repeated their early announcement
that production of the new Ford line
will not make the Model T line ob
solete. The manufacture of the new
parts for Model T replacements will
continue to be-an important factor
of the Ford plants as long as any
of the Model T cars are still in op
eration, the local dealers were ad
vised. Because of this policy, pres
ent owners of Model T Ford cars,
will be able to keep their cars in
perfect order as long as those cars
remain in commission.

An Interesting Account of Na
tional Education 1 Week
At Cullowhee
By MARY DELL BYNUM
i The National Education Associa
tion tiio bureau of Education,
Washington, suggested that the na
tion observe the week from Novem
ber 7th to 13th, as National Educa

Monday—Health Day f ,
Tuesday—Home anid School Day
Wednesday—Know Ycur School

Thursday School Opportunity

Friday—Armistice and Citizenship -

Saturday—Community Day
Sunday—God and Country Day.
This outline was carried out to
the fullest extent at the Cullowhee
State Normal school. Each day pro
grams were given appropriate to the
topic suggested for that day, though
j Wednesday, “Knew Your School
Day” and Sunday, “God and Coun
try Day” were the most outstand
ing ones for all people concerned—
the community, the Normal students,
the Training school pupils, and the
teachers.
On Wednesday, “Know Your
School Day” all the parents had Been
invited to visit the school. As they
arrived about 1:30 o’clock they were
met by the practice teachers of the
j Normal School and shown to the
J rooms they wished to visit. There
I they found exhibits of the childrens’
I work in all their school subjects, and
j at each exhibit was a pupil to ex
plain the “why and how” of every
! piece of work. After discussing the
, work and progress of the children
every one went to the auditorium
where a most Interesting program
was given by the graded school pu
pils. From the auditorium the pa
rents were shown to the home eco
nomics room where a delightful so
cial hour for the parents and teach
ers followed. Delicious refreshments
were servegl and the “grown-ups”
had a general good time together,
i On Sunday “God and Country

most inspiring. His subject was “Are-
You Really Convinced?”
On the whole, Education Week has
been very beneficial to the com Jiu
nity and to the Normal Students of”
Cullowhee.
TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS:
It seems so difficult to see our
subscribers that we are having pre
pared a letter to send to those whose
time has expired or is expiring. Since
our plant was burned it is imprac
ticable to carry the dates of expira
tion on the labels, as they are type
written. Hence, a letter is neces
sary to give the information. We
hope that every subscriber who re
ceives one of these notes will re
spond promptly. If four hundred
subscribers who should renew be
tween now and January 1, do so, we
shall be enabled to come out in good
shape for the <year, despite the hard
times and the loss of the plant by
fire. Also we trust that a number of
those who can spare the cash will
send in the money for two years, as
this will better enable us to start
out the new year with favorable
prospects. Already today four sub
scribers have paid for the paper
right in the office, and that means
we have had an opportunity to
straighten our dates and have the
money without cost of collection.
_ Send or come and do your part
toward overcoming the great loss
suffered by the paper in the fire the
early part of the year.
WANTED—Every member of the
Woman’s Club of Pittsboro to be
present at the December meeting to
be held Wednesday afternoon, Dec.
7th at 3:30 p m. in the club room.
CARD OF THANKS

sympathy and helpfulness toward us
in ou rsore bereavement.
