ESTABLISHED SEPTEMBER 19,1878 DISTRICT MEETING OF WOMAN’S CLUBS IS HELD AT SILER CITY Eight Months School Term Endorsed Insist Upon Australian Ballot —— Behind Kellogg-Briand Treaty A Busy and Successful Meeting. (M'yrtle Ellen Laßarr in Greensboro News) Today A REAL KING THE RIGHT ANSWER LADY ASTOR RETURNS ' AMERICAN ENGLISH. By ARTHUR BRISBANE King Zogu, of Albania, pulled down the flag of the republic and made himself king. A stalwart Alba nian of the old kind that used to chase travelers with bear hounds, Zogu has modern ways, with a neat little moustache, clipped on . both sides in the modern fashion, and more medals than Marshal Eoch ev er had. ; —. Some asked will Zogu 'be a real king. But no more doubt. He arrested 200 conspirators against his throne, hanged eleven and will j probably hang more. The answer by President Cool idge and Secretary Kellogg to the Franeo-British plan for a naval agreement notifies Europeans, none too soon, that this is an inde pendent country, not a British or a French dominion. It is refreshing and reassuring to read in the plainest kind of English that the United States cannot con sent to proposals which would leave the door wide open to unlimited buil ding of certain types of ships of ai 1 highly efficient combatant value (to France and England), and would im pose restrictions only on those types peculiarly suitable to American needs. This nation should now build whatever it NEEDS. Cruisers, sub marines and airplanes, especially the last two. “We have the money,” as Britain used to say, and should outbuild France and Britain combined. Lady Astor, born in Virginia, busy now in the House of Commons, returns to the United States saying: “The women of the world are or ganizing for peace.” They have al ways been organizing for peace, and manufacturing sons for war. American talking movies seen and heard in England, arouse enthusi asm and prediction that the silent picture is doomed. British critics suggest that Ameri can actors should cultivate Oxford accent. They don’t like our brand of English. Perhaps the talking movies will teach them to like the American language, just as they have been taught by our silent movies to like American clothes and some other things. Alcoholic drinks under prohibition are various. In the South “white mule,” powerful alcohol made of corn, is popular. In the Middle West needed beer is drunk by workmen. It is “legal” beer, originally containing no alco hol, but brought up to a high alco holic percentage by “needling” it with alcohol, procured by redistill ing denatured alcohol bought at gas oline stations. New York City speakeasies, sur rounding newspaper and other plants, sell “smoke,” a deadly al cohol with a little ether added to give the cloudy, “smoke” effect. This drink is well described As follows; “Three shots and you know nothing until next day.” Doctors in'-New York discuss “How to fight old age.” Dr. Vincent says doctors “concen trate on old people after they are ill; instead of keeping them well,” Luigi Cornaro solved his problem starting at forty, when given Up to die by doctors. He lived to one hun dred and tWo, mounting his horse without assistance at 95, and wrote to the Pope: “I had to live to be ninety years old to know that the world is beautiful.” He limited his diet to twelve ounces of solid food and fourteen ounces of solid food and fourteen ounces of light Italian wine per day. Think how long he might have lived if he had eliminated the fourteen ounces of wine and substituted four teen ounces of eiood, pure, healthy, sparkling ice water.

"The Chatham Record Siler City, Oct. 13. —Resolutions indorsing the national and state fed erations and the eight months school term and pledging a redou’oied effort for the state legislative program this year were passed at the annual meet ing of the Bth district of the North Carolina Federation of' Women’s clubs here today. The passage of the resolution in dorsing the general and state feder ations by the Bth district is of wide interest in club circles, for it was at the meeting in Zebulon last fall that this district had a hectic time when a group of delegates headed by some of the Raleigh women considerably criticised the policies of the general * federation, especially its legislative i program. There was not a whisper ( of opposition to the resolution today when it was presented ,by Mrs. Tom Bost, sweetheart of the state federa tion. .. The resolutions came a.t.thc close of a very successful meeting during which Mrs. Thomas O’Berry, Golds boro, president of the North Caro lina Federation of Women's clubs, made the principal-address.* Mts. O’- Berry reviewed the accomplishments of the past year: and outlined the work for the coming year. The fed eration has an ambitious and far reaching program and club women throughout the state are organizing with the determination of carrying jt out in full. Musical numbers gave a pleasant variety to the district meeting. From 1 to 2 o’clock a splendid picnic din ner was served in the basement pf First Methodist church, where the meeting was held. Mrs. W. J. Brog den, of Durham, chairman of dis trict, was unable to appear on the program on account of illness in her family. * . The meeting next year will be held at Apex, which was chosen on ac count of its central location. Tempt ing invitations were offered by the Durham Woman’s club and the Wen dell Woman’s club. * The meeting opened with the read ing of the club women’s collect, Mrs. Wade Hadle'y, president of the host ess club at Siler City, made a charm ing welcome talk. Response was by Mrs. Clarence* Ghamblee of“ Zebulon, district president. This was follow ed by a violin solo by Miss Gertrude Robbins, blind violinist of this place. Mrs. Brown, president of the Ra leigh Woman’s club, read a letter from Miss Annie Louise Evans, of Raleigh, who is district chairman of music. She urged the club women of the district to encourage the use of and appreciation for good music in the home, the church, and the club. One of the most interesting things taken up by M'rs. O’Berry was an out-line of the plans for using the $5,000 prize to be used for a child health clinic in the State. The prize was a visarded to North Carolina at the national convention last summer which was held at San Antonio, Tex. It was offered to the state doing the best work in submitting health sur veys. The best survey submitted was sent in bv the Raleigh Woman’s club for Wake county. It was complet ed largely through the efforts of Mrs. T. L. Layfield, of Raleigh, who was presented to the meeting yester day. , . , The speaker called upon the club women to study so that they can go to the polls as informed, intelligent citizens this fall. She pointed out that the federation is not indorsing any candidate, but that it does en courage women to study the record* of their candidates. The legislative program of the state federation was gone into care fully by the state president. She explained that the plan this year is to concentrate on the bills that the women have been trying to get thru the legislature for the past several years. Chief emphasis will be plac ed on the Australian ballot. Mrs. O’Berry made a plea for the women to let their congressmen know that they are solidly behind the Kellogg-Briand peace treaty. She thought it strange that there has arisen any opposition to the treaty. She stated that* some has arisen and that it will have to be mot , when the treaty comes up in Congress ear ly in Dec&nh6r. , The afternoon session opened with a vocal duet by Mesdames J. Q. Sea well and E. T. Noel, of Siler City, Mrs. Junius Wren played the piano accompanimen tand Miss Gertrude accompaniment and Miss Gertrude Mrs. Chamblee made her report of the work she has done during her first term as district president. This told of four clubs in the district that have club homes. These are Siler City, Varina, Durham and Raleigh. During the year, all hut one of the clubs in the district subscribed to the Sallie Southall Cotton loan fund. One new club was organized and others are in* prospect. The new club ; is the Woman’s club of Garner. Mrs. T. K. Banks is president. Mrs. Tom Bost, of Raleigh, who is publicity- chairman for the state fed ■ eration and secretary at general headquarters, discussed ways that : club women can help their work. For the very first time, M'rs. > Palmer Jerman, of Raleigh, missed a district meeting. She sent her re • grets. A message was also read from Miss Susan Iden, of Raleigh, who is PITTSBORO, N, C., CHATHAM COUNTY. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1927 DYER PROMISES NEGRO FULL VOTE Missouri Republican Congress man Predicts End of White Supremacy. Extracts of a campaign speech de livered on September 23 in his home* district> in St. Louis, in whcih Con gressmah L. C. Dyer, republican, promises the Negro ful) suffrage and predicts the end of Southern white supremacy with the election of Hoover are being distributed *.y tbc Democratic State headquarters. The quoted- extracts'! follow: “There are powerful and influeh’- tiia people who are ready to demand of Congress a* un early session, laws ? with ample appropriations ttm -.vr i make these two ahfehdiaerits (giving the Negro equal suffrage) effective. JuFt as the people who through Con gress placed them into’the Constitu tion, as they did the '■ Eighteenth Amendment. My faith is such that I believe we will see the day, and that not very far off when th 3 Fed eral Government 1 will, by virtue of Congressional acts, place enforce ment officers in the Southern States charged wiih enforcing these ten amendments and give the Negroes their rights as citizens, as guaran teed by the Constitution. President Coolidge in one of his rnessu'3£ rec ommended that the Federal Govern ment take charge of s elections in tnese States. % “On November 6 that great engi neer-politician, Hoover, with the votes of the prohibitionists and those swayed because of the religious ques tion in the South, will drive such a thick wedge through the heart of the Solid South and their white su premacy slogan that it will flow up their whole unconstitutional pro gram. “After the Solid South has been blown to pieces by Engineer Hoover, our next President, that will be the finish of the nullificationists of the South who have for sixty years vio lated and prevented the enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. Then Congress will enact enforcement laws that will give millions of Negroes their con stitutional rights as citizens and place them On an equality with other races.” UNCLE WILLIAM LEE DEAD “Uncle” William Lee dipd on last Thursday at his home on Sheriff Milliken’s place. He was about 75 years of age, and had been with the Sheriff for 33 years. He was one of the most highly esteemed color ed citiens of the county. 1 The bur ial took place Sunday. IRON BRIDGES BEING ERECTED Chatham county, it Seems, should have had without price the iron bridges replaced by concrete at Lockville, across the Haw at Hay wood, and at Seaforth on New Hope, as the new bridges were necessary only because of benefit to through travel. But the State Highway Com mission claimed them, but it sold them to the county at such a price that it was almost the same as be ing given them. I SIOO,OOOO bought all three of the bridges, which are furnishing spans for quite a number of smaller streams on the county roads. Thus the bridge problem will soon be lar gely solved for Chatham for many years. district chairman of conservation.
