ESTABLISHED SEPTEMBER 19,1878 TODAY MEN MADE OF METAL THE GENEROSITY OF NA TURE. PLANT IDLE? CERTAINLY. A GOOD ITALIAN LAW. j R. J. Wenslev. inventor of a me chanical man that unveiled a statue of George Washington, believes that men made of metal will liberate us from industrial slavery, as Washing ton liberated us from European ty ranny. Workers need r.ot fear that me tallic “robots’’ will ruin the labor market. Long ago mechanical men and women made their appearance in machinery of all kinds, driven by steam and electricity. One machine does the knitting for ten thousand women, one locomotive pulls the load of a thousand stage coaches, repiac- j ing 1000 drivers. The perfected machine will not be an imitation man standing up right on two legs. That position man achieved to iook out over high grass for enemies and prey, in the I beginning, and to look up at the ] stars later. Mechanical men can. be only an interesting curiosity, not! an industrial success. Science im proves on nature ar.d does not imi-; tate it, the ultimate flying, machine without bird wings or methods will j prove that. From a big orange tree in South ern California the Riverside Cham-; ber of Commerce sends 126 oranges : to as many newspaper editors. The j tree is one of two imported from i Brazil by the United States Depart- i ment of Agriculture. Those two; trees are the father and mother of all the “Washington naval trees” that make up greta groves in South ern California. Similarly, a few cherry trees,' brought by Lucuilus from his wars i in Asia, are the ancestors of mil- \ lions of cherry Dees that small Amer- ; ican boys ciimb every year. Such 1 are the wealth and generosity of. Nature. Mr. Rogers at Muscle Shoals in spects with his mournful cowboy eye a $150,000,000 plant built by the . people to produce nitrogen to sup ply cheap fertilizer for farmers and explosives in case of war. Mr. Rogers remarks that such a; plant lying idle is enlightening. If means that the Government isn’t i quite ready to deliver the plant over j to the power trust. And until the power trust gets it,! that trust won’t let anybody else j use the Muscle Shoals plant. Thanks to Mussolini’s common sen- j sea new law compels merchants in j Italy to mark prices plainly and stick ! to the prices. That wi!l increase i foreign buying, especially by Ameri-; cans, who do not like to pay double I or devote half an hour to bargaining; over a trifle. Merchants in Italy won’t like it, j but their business and prosperity will j increase. Machinery will be devised eventu- j ally to do the so-called back break-1 ing farm work that proud United: States citizens, no longer will do. But nothing should be done too suddenly, unless ;the Government is willing to precipitate hard times over a wide area. Newspapers tell of a baby “dead ten times.” Ten times in its short five weeks of life the baby’s heart stopped beating in a struggle against pleuro-pneumonia. Ten tines it wasj revived and it probably will live. The J doctors did wonders. There is just a line about the mother. Still weak, following the baby’s birth, she gave her blood in transfusion to save her baby’s life. Her name is Mrs. G. E. Almstead, and what she did ten million mothers would do, gladly. ' MRS. W4LTER D. SILER Whereas it has pleased our heaven ly Father to call unto Himself our friend and co-worker, Mrs. Walter D. Siler, therefore, be it resdlved: 1.

TT“=“ Chatham Record Chills and Fever ! Attack Occupants Os Glass Houses j Will Hayes Has First Attack I But Tells Another Chapter | of Bedtime Story of “What j Happened ,to Sinclair o*l J: Boodle. ! WASHINGTON IS STUNNED i * ! Hoover Reported m Lead of Low den for Republican j Nomination j OTHER NEWS OF INTEREST By WILLIAM P. HELM, Jr., Washington Correspondent of The Chatham Record WASHINGTON. March 19.—Last i week was hard on those who live in glass houses. In some of these man . sions here in Washington, unwanted i exposure caused political malaria, at j tended by shivers, shakes, fever, pal j sy, partial paralysis of the tongue and near-apoplexy. In others the maiady was less severe, but they are stiil thawing out distinguished feet 1 and telling- the patients to “take ; this.” !• It all started with a series of fits l on Capitol Hill in which young. Mr. Will Hays, lat P of the Post Office Department but now professional fix ;er for Hollywood, played the lead ing. though uncomfortable, role. Mr. j Hays, short of statue, dapper of dress, long of jowl but only middling i satisfactory of speech, came down from New York to tell th e Senate 1 Teapot dome committee another in- j stalhnent of his bedtime story en i titled, “What Happened to the Sin | clair Oii Boodle.” j It was Mr. Hays’ third or fourth ; —cr maybe his fifth—chapter. It i : seems that Mr. Hays was chairman of the Republican National Commit- j tee back in 1920. After Harding’s J i election he became Postmaster Gen- ! feral. Still later, along in 1923, as- j i ter he had been crowned Czar of jail the Movies (not counting, of! i course, the piggish independents) i Mr. Hays was constantly annoyed by i i the treasurer of the Republican Na . tional Committee about a few hun dred thousands in unpaid committee debts. Fred Upham, the treasurer, now dead, rode Mr. Hays pretty hard, it appears, to get money, and Mr. Hays ooligingly hustled around where the money was to be got and got it. Among those places was the head quarters of Harry F. Sinclair of Tea pot Dome fame, though at the time j Teapot Dome was unexposed. From i Sinclair to Hays ther P passed some I $260,000 in Liberty bonds, j Now Mr. Hays even then was fam ; iliar with his onions. He seemed i to have sensed that it would never jdo to say right out in public that j any such chunk of money came as j a donation from his oily friend. So ! Mr. Hays set about touching it up | a bit here and there so as to stifle j the smell and kill the bad taste. He ■ hustled a batch of those bonds total-' j ing $50,000 down to Uncle Andy Mel- j | lon, telling Uncle Andy to keep them j | a bit and that he (Hays) would be ! down soon and explain all about it. j Uncle Andy put them aside, con j tinued clipping his coupons and he ! ! promptly forgot about them. The j j next day Uncle Andy counted them j | and put them hack in th P safe. Soon j | Mr, Hays came down to Washington. I “Uncle Andy,” he said in substance, j “I sent you $50,000 in Liberties. ’ “So you did, my boy,” said Uncle Andy. “Well,” said Mr. Hays quick ly, “it wasn’t anv gift. I want your check for $50,000 as a contribution to the committee to help pay off the back debt.” “But I don’t understand,” said Un cle Andy. “Perfectly obvious,” re plied the Movie Czar. “I gave you \ $50,000 of Sinclair’s bonds. You j give me your check for 50,000. It costs you nothing, you understand. Then I take your check and credit you with a $50,00 contribution to the committee. You get all the glory—cheap. And the world will* never know the bonds were Harry’s.” Well, after holding his nos P for a time. Uncle Andy shooed Mr. Hays and his bonds out of the treasury, opened the windows, sat down and wrote out his check for thesum of $50,000 for the committed with out any rebate. H p was out the money, but his conscience was clear and the record was straight, j Mr. Hays also unfolded the same fragrant plan to the Hon. William M. Butler, chairman of the committee, though the amount sought of Butier was $25,000. Mr. Butler, too, had a Mellon conscience and didn’t make the swap. There appeal's some evi dence, as well, that somethinp- of the kind was put up to John T. Pratt now dead, of Standard Oil millions. Mr. Pratt’s papers show that he sent his check for $25,000 to the com mittee. Now these are reasonably large amounts, hut Hays forgot to testify | about then: in his previous appear i ances on Capitol Hill. Last week I he did tell about them, under vigor ous prodding of the committee. The effect was much the same as if he had unexpectedly turned loose a large and vigorous polecat in the flood tide of achievement. Political Washington was stunned. Mellon and Butler took the stand and cleared their skirts of mud, tho it still is a bit vauge as to why they said nothing of the business for more PITTSBORO, N.

POLITICAL POT BEGINS TO BOlt. When we first began to prepare copy for this issue of the Record everything- was quiet along political lines, but Monday and Tuesday things began to liven up. In case Mr. B. D. Thrailkill’s announce ment for sheriff, and later th P an nouncements of Dr. J. D. Edwards, ! of Siler City, for the House of Rep- j resentatives, and of Mr. D. E. Mur chsion, of Gulf, for Register of 1 Deeds. Ther P are three good men ! representing three quarters of the county. Mr. W. T. Johnson had already made announcement in the Siler City paper of his purpose to be a candidate for sheriff, and had ! been enthusiatsic in his expectations, j It begins to look as if there will i be something doing politically. The ; Republicans, too, ar P not entirely i asleep, ar.d may be preparing to i make a strenuous campaign. If A1 Smith should be nominated, ; the campaign in the whole state will be a notable one, and not lacking lin some of th p old-time heat of an election year. A NEW AND BETTER WAY TO STEAL CHICKENS FOUND! Stevens Point, Wis., March 21— John Pilska has an inventive turn in mind. He had his eye on the chicken house of Thomas Winkler, and so he betook himself thereto with one long- heated rod. The chick en house had an aperture on the level with th P roost inside. It was large enough to allow' chicken eg ress. Pilska introduced the rod, and when the chickens put their cold claws on it for the sake of its warmth, he withdrew th a rod and poured the chiqkens hr to a sack. Pilska was caught with about one hundred pounds of chicken and is under SSOO bond. 1 than four years. As for Hays, he j sputtered and expostulated and ! shouted and stood up and was or ered to sit down and he sat down. Adept though he unquestionably is in th P use of language all his ex | plainings sounded sour to the com i mittee and the committee didn’t hes ! itate to say so. The chairman, Sen- I ator Walsh, also asked questions of I attempting- to bribe officials and | altogether it was a most pleasant four or five hours for everyone con cerned except Walsh and his crowd. Nobody seems to know where the next eruption is coming from. Many, many persons are decidedly nervous. The committee is still on the job and there may or may not be fur ther disclosures. This was the main development of the week, though not the only one. Edward P. Costigan of the Tarriff Commission with whose stride the whole blooming administration has been out of step for years, wrote, his resignation to the President and a ripsnorting letter to Senator Rob inson telling how th ft administration had wickedly continued its tariff iniquities after he, Costigan, had j so plainly pointed out their error. Senator Borah got a letter of the Semi-Black Hand sort from bandit Sandino of Nicarauga notifying him flatly that Sandino simply couldn’t be responsible for American lives in his bailiwick so long as the ma rines hung around. Moose Leader James J. Davis, the efficient Secre tary of Labor, wrote a piece for a Washington paper pooh-poohing talk about millions of unemployed work ers. And the Senate coal committee uncorked a red-hot report about the alleged villainies of Pennsylvania soft-cOal operators. * Ned McLean’s Washington paper sent its star political reporter out with instructions to get the vote, actual, perspective and honed for, of leaders in the strength was 414 and Lowden’s about 250. It will take 545 to nominate. They say the Hoover managers are still grate ful. Clarence Buck, Lowden’s managre, blew into Washington and out again, sighing’ blissfully and hopefully, j Dawes continued to suck away at j his misshapen l pipe and said nothing, j but Washington wiseacres inclined more and more to the opinion that he may be the man of destiny at Kansas City. The best news, like desseri, comes last. Congress is fixing to adjourn May 16, if possible. Eastern Section Will Plant Trees i Demonstration in Reforesta tion by Planting of Trees, on Big Scale Planned. RALEIGH, March lI.—(AP) Eastern North Carolina is to have a demonstration of reforestation by the planting of trees on. a large scale. ’ ‘..j aj•'>/■> ' France gave to the world an ex* J ample of reforestation by artificial planting of the maritime pine which reclaimed whole province from drift ing sand dunes t otimber-proaucing forests. The late George Vanderbilt planted great tracts of forests in western North Carolina more than a score of years ago from which thou sands of feet of lumber are being cut. Now- eastern North Carolina jumps in the spotlight. Arrangements have just been completed between H. C. Btican, Ab erdeen, manager of a great tract oi land in Moore county, belonging to Eldridge Johnson, New York and Sandhill property owner, and the forestry division of the state depart ment of conservation and develop ment for the propagation of a mil lion pine trees for reforestation over a period of years. This forest planting project is said to be the largest individual program of its kind to be proposed in the state since the beginning of the Vanderbilt forest at Bilt more, near Asheville. According- to compilations of the forestry division of the state de partment, the million trees should set at least 1,000 acres of Land since a general average of between. 800 and 1000 seedlings is considered suf ficient for the planting of one acre. The principal variety cf the pine that will be propagated for the ! Moore county planting proposition is the longleaf, supplemented by loblolly and slash. Reforestation on a large scale is being practiced or started in North Carolina by some of the large lum ber companies and timber using firms some of which have establish ed their own nurseries, but no in dividual in recent years, aceordtcg- to the records of the department, has undertaken such a large planting pro gram as that planned on the John- j son property. GOLDSTON ITEMS Professor J. H. Moore is expecting to attend the Teachers' Assembly, at Raleigh, Friday and Saturday. . The school attendance was very j good list month, ar.d too, there was I only five tardies, three in the high school and two in the grades. There are thirty-seven pupils ex pecting to have a perfect attendance record. It is worth while to strive ! at the end of school. This is a fine j record. It is, worth while to tsrive for excellency in everything, includ ing punctuality, attendance and school work in general. The following pupils won the hon or roll for last month: First grade—Martha Ann Gaines, Mary Lois Harris, Geneva Welch, Frank Paschal, Harry Womble, Nan-! cy Ellis. Third grade—Claude Chaffin. Mr. John Wiley Garner, a student 1 at Kings College, Bristol, Tenn,, J spent a few days here last week ior J a few days rest after the spring term j examinations. Messrs. L. B. Hester, Wade Gold- * ston, and Orvis Stinson, of the Uni versity of N. C., are at home this week after the spring term exami nations. Miss Iva Dozier, the music teach er, left Tuesday to visit a friend at Star. She will return Thursday and will meet her music class Friday in stead of Thursday. Misses Bumice ..and Mary Womble Elkins have returned home after spending three week* with their aynt at Elizabethtown. Misses Verna Stout and Margaret Watson, eighth grade girls, gave a most enjoyable party to a large number of their friends at the for mer’s home Saturday evening. The color scheme for the eve- i ning was green and red, represent ing St. Patrick j We are glad to report that Mr. A. B. Jenkins, near here, who has been ill with pneumonia, is much better. Mr. Jenkins has been in ill health for some time and the famliy was right uneasy about him. The following children have > beer at home: Misuses Ruth, Il& aad Jewel Jenkins, Mrs. T. B. Blalock and Mrs. G. A. Knight, all of ' Winston- Salem. * ... > A The O. E. S. held their regular meeting- last Tuesday evening for the purpose of electing new officers for the ensuing year, The .officers will be instated sometime in the * near future. Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Wombl P enjoy ed having their children for dinner last Thursday. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Bailey Womble, of Sanford, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Elkins, Goldston, Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Hes ter, Mr. and Mrs. A. B, Womble, Goldston. It was regretted that Mr. Hugh Goldston, of Elizabethtown, couldn’t be here. i Kansas City, after checking up on (hotel rooms, reports it wU! be able |to accommodate ail the guests and the elephant’s trunks.

Court hi Session Dftmag, Suit foi* Death Nrbito in Cumnock Mine Takes Up First Two Days. t A week’s term of court for the trial of criminal cases is in session. Judge Nunn, of New Bern, is pre siding, Miss Speight is present as j stenographer. | The court was engaged Monday (and Tuesday in the trial of a suit ior $20,000 entered by Irene Street a £ . administrator for the death of Mr. Street, who was killed bv an ac cident in the Erskine Ramsay Coal mine at Cumnock last August. Street was injured while he was assisting in erecting a projection against the crumbling of the ceiling in the mine. A piece of ston P or slate fell upon him. j A. A. F. Sea well and Siler and j Berber represented the mine and ! Horton and Bell the plaintiff. The j argument, which was an able one, devolved about the question of lia bil :ty, chiefly as to whether Street wa s himself guilty of that degree of negligence which would exculpate the defendant company. The case had not ended when the last copy was sent to the print er. This case was brought over from the docket set for the former week of court and had delayed the trial of cases docketed for this week at the same date as the docketing of the cases for week before last. Moncure News Items l Miss Virginia Cathell, who is a j teacher at the Methodist orphanage, j Raleigh, spent last week-end at home | | with her parents, Dr. and Mrs. J. E. ; Cathell. Mrs. J. E. Cathell spent one day! last week at Raleigh. Mrs, Newton Moore of Bynum l spent last week-end with Miss Stella ■ Womble. Mrs. H. D. Strickland spent sev--j eral days at Sanford last week. Mrs. J. L. Andrews, a member of i the faculty of Moncure school, re ceived a telegram this morning, Mon day, of her father’s sudden death at High Point. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. j Andrews left immediately for High j Point. j Mrs, H. G. Self was leader of the « | Epworth League last Sunday even- I ing at 7:15 o'clock. He made a! splendid talk on Love Your Ene-i I mies. | 1 The- revival at - the Methodist j church closed last Frdiay evening, j I Rev. M, O. Farrar of Clinton, as sisted the pastor, Rev. C. M. Lance. Rev. Mr. Farrar did the preaching and preached som p able sermons. He made a favorable impression in this J community and his services were all { greatly appreciated. Mrs- Willie Barringer of Penn sylvania, is visiting her step moth er. Mrs. Mary Barringer. Dollar Day in Moncure went off with a. vim. In spite of the rain and the cold there was a large crowd in town and .‘both merchants and customers seemed pleased. Ail the merchants report large sales. Even though the inimitable Joe Mclver auctioned off hundreds of pairs of } shoes to the highest bidder, tJhe people seemed to catch th P spirit! >cf the day the shoes were bid off j jat $1 even. Mr. E. E. Walden, un- i j dertaker and furniture dealer and j one of the leading promoters of the ' occasion said that even though he; sold a good many chairs, etc. at less j than cost, he was satisfied that the j day was well worth its cost to the j town in the way of advertising. All merchants though they made sacri fices seemed well pleased with the day. Mr. W. W. Stedman states that j he made som p real estate transfers | last week. Mr. J. M. Ketchie of j High Point was down Tuesday clos- j ing up all necessary papers in the j transfer of the R. J. Yates maple springs tract which was purchased from G. Moody Womble. Mr. Ket chie is a successful merchant for merly of Greensboro, now of High j j Point. He plans to improve and de velop this nice property on concrete highway No. 50, just 1-2 mile west of Merry Oaks. We bespeak for him a warm welcome into our com munity. ( FARMERS MAKE THINGS GROW IN BARREN ICELAND Reykjavik, Iceland, Mar. 21.—Ra-1 tional cultivation of the land is now! a national slogan in Iceland, while j formerly there was little cultivation I of th P soil. Land reclamation has gone on for five years in the sur roundings of Reykjavik. Bogs have been changed into green meadows, and all kinds of agricultural experiments have been undertaken, some with gfreat suc cess. Things that Icelanders them selves had sworn would never be able to grow, thrive wonderfully well. YES, WE HAVE NO HORSE RADISH! Chicago, 111., March 21.—The price of horseradish has advanced 300 per cent to 27 cents a pound as one of th p results of the Miss issippi floods. The Illinois Cham ber of Commerce reports whole coun ties of horseradish wiped out. Wild horseradish, which has a fearful kick, is being substituted in the boiled beef industry. ADVERTISING IS PROFITABLE. VOLUME SO, NUMBER 27. Will Demonstrate > The Value of Lime J ) Four Farmers to Make Effec tual Tests—Poultry Car to fee Loaded—Farmers install Hydraulic Ram—Soy Beans Delayed. Chatha mcounty farmers will be given an opportunity to study the effects of lime on crop growth, the effects of the turning under of soy beans on the succeeding growth of corn, etc., through the location of four demonstration plots by the Agent this week. The men who are conducting these demonstrations in cooperation with the Agent and the Agronomy Department of State Col lege, are Mr. J. W, Johnson, supt. of the countuy home, Mr. H. C. Clegg, Jr., Moncure R. F. D., Mr. G. L. Bynum, Moncure, R. F. D., and Mr. N. J. Dark, Siler City, R. F. D. The plan of these demonstrations is as follows: One half acr p of land is accurately measured, and then is sub-divided into four one-eighth acre plots. The whole plot is to be seeded in soy beans, but the two middl p one-eighth acre plots will re ceive a treatment of five hundred pounds of lime. The soy beans on one of these middle plots will be turned under this fall, and will be I followed in corn next spring. The ; soy beans on the other limed plot j will be cut for hay, and the yield measured. On the two unlimed j plots, the soy beans on one of the j plots will also be turned under to j be flolowed in corn, while the hay i will be cut and measured on the oth | cr. Thus v/e will be able to compare | the effects of lime on the meausured I yield of soy beans, as compared with ; soy beans unlimd, and we will also j be able tp compare the yeild of corn ; following soy beans turned under on ! plots which have been limed, as I compared with soy beans unlimed, | and we will als obe able to determine j the comparison of corn yield follow i ing beans which have been cut for hay, and that which has been turned under. There seems to be in gener al, a deficiency of organic matter or humus on most of our soils, and this nitrogen and humus can be very cheaply supplied through the us- of ! legumes like Lespedeza and soy ! beans, turned under in the soil. The Agent held four poultry cull-- | ing demonstrations at th P farms of | Mr. O. B. Mann, John Goodwin, M. : K. Jones and A. T. Ward this week, l and loaded a cooperative shipment of 3000 pounds of poultry at Pitts boro Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. A total of about 25 farmers participated in this co operative shipment, and the largest check went to Mr. O. B. Mann, who sold sixty dollars worth of poultry. Mr. Lee Copeland and Mr. R. W. Hackney are installing a hydraulic ram which will supply water to three farm homes in their community. The agent, in company with Mr. A. T. Holman, Extension Rural Engi neer, assisted in the installation of this ram, and also assisted Mr. Har vey Andrew, of Snow Camp, N. C., in making a survey for the installa tion of one of these rams on his farm in the near future. 1 Two weeks ago, the Agent sent in i a cooperative order for 800 bushels lof soy beans, and received a wire j the next dav stating that the order | was being filled. Nautrally suppos i ing that the car was being- loaded at | once, this car was advertised to be | unloaded at Pittsboro last week, and j farmers were also notified of this by the Agent. However, after the let ters were sent in, and the advertise ment made, the Agent received a let ter statnig that the bean® were not jto be loaded until sometime during I the week of March 12. If they are j loaded promptly, they should j Pittsboro during the week of March' 119. This explanation is being made V by the Agent, in view of the fact that a number of farmers hav P come to town, at considerable expense, only to find that* the car has not ar j rived, and it is hoped that this will explain the failure of the car to ar rive. However, it is expected that the car will be unloaded sometime thsi week. Soy beans are scarce x this year, and efforts have been made since the first of the year te obtain this car. N. C.
