THANKS, MR. WILBUR
OLD HEARTS NEED CARE
AMERICANS ARE TALLER
By ARTHUR BRISBANE
Dr. Eckener and his fellow officers
of the big Zepplin hope American
capital will interest itself in the
building of' five airships >for* trans-
Atlantic flights.
A big New York bank is said to
be interested.
All are interested in the develop
ment of aviation. Every useful new
thing helps general prosperity. If
we can’t build the airships our
selves, the next best thing is to
finance them.
Mr. Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., of Gen
eral Motors, and his associates will
sooner or later get into the airplane
field.
McClintic, Marshall—a firm of
Pittsburgh now constructing ready
made steel frames for houses—might
well turn from steel to duralumin to
build all metal dirigibles and frames.
Great demand for automobiles,
keeping aIL plants at, capacity pro
duction, is one proof of prosperity.’
The 5 Northwest and Middle-West
report^go6d -.business.
If we were much more prosperous,
we could hardly stand it. That is
to say, some of us could hardly stand
it. But it is not so with all, unfor
tunately.
In New York, a man, fifty years
old, having vainly sought a job
open to gray hairs, tried to hang
himself from a thirty-story window.
He did not succeed in hanging him
self, but fell and was killed.
Mr. Roy Howard looks before he
leaps and decides not to leap, after
having alcoholic drinks analyzed in
many of New York’s “best” speak
easies.
In eight “high grade” establish
ments his agents purchased liauors j
actually deadly. Only two or three
places out of twenty-eight sold non- j
poisonous whiskies.
And they also were poisonous,'
since alcohol, as fools use it, it [
always a poison.
Something new in modern sur
gery. 1
Dr. Robert Meals, young surgeon
of Hollywood, thought that shock
after surgical operation is caused
by anaesthetics, not by the opera
tion.
To test his theory he removed
his own appendix, lying on the op
erating table propped up, asking the
assistance of a brother surgeon only
in locating the appendix a.id remov
ing adhesions.
A fine display of self-control and
“courage.”
Local anaesthesia was employed,
but could not prevent internal pain.
This operation again raises the
question, “What IS courage?”
It reminds us that not long ago
before anaesthetics were used, ail
operations were accompanied by a
terrible pain.
The clergy said it was a shame to
use anaesthetics because it defeated
the will of God, who desired his
creatures to suffer. That opinion
has been abandoned.
Japan will send to Brazil at least j
1.000 colonists each year.
The Japanse are kind to their
children. No Japanese "ever strikes i
a child. Consequently the children
thrive, and families are big.
Grandchildren of Americans now
living may see an important branch
of Asia established on the continent
south of us. # / i
That is the business of Brazil and j
Japan, not ours.
Mussolini says the Italian press
is perfectly free, but it must not
criticize Fascismo, or his policies, j
Newspapers MAY criticize his vio- j
lin playing if they choose. . j
Mussolini remembers that Na
poleon said, “My government could
not last two weeks if I allowed lib
erty to the press.”
Extraordinary are Mussolini’s
success and good judgment. He j
appears on the page of history, a,
cross between Mohammed and Mar-,
cus Aurelius, and, apart from his as- ;
sertion that liberty is an unimport- J
ant word, we find little to criticize;
in his doings, remembering that if
Italy had not had Mussolini it would
have had anarchy.
CHATHAM MILL HEAD IS
HUNTING IN NORTH WOOD
A. C. King, president of the Chat
ham Mills, Inc. of Pittsboro, has
broken the season’s record in moose
hunting, it was learned here yester
day. He is now on his annual hun
ting trip near Havelock, New Bruns
wick, which is a considerable dis
tance toward the polar regions.
Several days ago Mr. Kluge, who
is W'ell known in Chatham countv
drove into Fredericton. N. 8., with
a large moose head. The specimen
had 28 perfectly formed points, the
antlers measuring 52 inches from tip
to tip, with a web of 14 inches. This
is a New Brunswick record for the
season. The tropbv was taken in the
'•ig Dungarvon district famous for
nioose hunting.—Durham Herald.

COTTON CO-OPS
FORM SUPPLY CO.
! For Co-Operative Purchases of
Seeds and Fertilizers
or Members
Raleigh, Oct 22.—With the issu
ing this week of a charter for the
Cotton Growers Supply Company, U.
B. Blalock, General manager of the
North •.Carolina Cotton Growers Co
operative association, makes the fol
lowing announcement: ,
“The Growers Supply Co.
is a subsidiary corporation of the
Cotton Growers Co-operative asso
ciation.
“Its character gives the corpora
tion very wide latitude but it is the
purpose of the organization at pres
et only to engage in the handling
of improved cotton seed and other
field seeds, commercial fertilizers,
and fertilizer materials for tne mem
bers of the association only.
■’ “A certain amount of the reserve *
funds of the cotton association, not i
to exceed one hundred thousand dol- i
lars will be set aside for this sub
sidiary as capital stock.
“Seeds, fertilizers, and fertilizer
materials will be handled only on .a
cash basis.
“The directors and the manage
ment t of the Association, have been i
of the opinion that for quite some
time that they should engage in oth- L
er activities for the benefit of their
members besides that of handling j
cotton for the members of the asso- ;
ciation. For some years past other <
cotton co-operative associations, 1
either through subsidiary or through <
Farm Bureau organizations, have ]
been handling Held seeds, fertilizers, ]
and fertilizer materials, and other <
merchandise in a very manner for <
their membership. The Alabama ]
Cotton association has been remark- <
ably successful along this line and
handled over one hundred thousand t
tons of fertilizer the past season. j
“The combined purchasing power (
of our membership gives us an ad- }
vantage that we feel we should cap- t
italize on. t
“The first step in the promotion (
of co-operative cotton marketing is (
the introduction of improved cotton t
seed, thereby producing a better <
qualit of cotton than that grown by }
the average cotton producer. We f
are already assured that our first I
season’s business in the handling of I
improevd or pedigreed seeds will 1
amount to several thousands of bu- £
shels. In fact, one order for 10,- g
000 bushels of pedigreed cotton seed y
has been placed with one of the r
South’s best known seed breeders.” j

PITTSBORO, N. C., CHATHAM COUNTY, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1. 1928
E L SHIPMAN’S RALEIGH LETTER
By M. L. SHIPMAN
t Raleigh, Oct. 29.-—The local Dem
i ocracy scored heavily in the appear
ance of former Congressman C’yde
R. Hoey, of Shelby, at the Cay audi
torium on Friday evening following
the big anti-Smith meeting
ed by Senator F. M. Simmons tba
night previous. These two outstand
i ing representatives. ol their \esPec
| tive groups, into' which the State
has degenerated since the
Houston convention, were warmly
, received ?md sppnsers for each \v ere
apparently pleased with visibly re
sults. Since starting out early in
the campaign Mr. Hoey, democratic
electpr at large for the State, has
made more than forty .speeches in
North Carolina and six •in other
states. The Raleigh speech was the
second delivered by Senator Sim
mons against the candidacy of Gov
ernor Smith.
Mr. Hoey, acknowledged leader of
the Smith forces in North Carolina,
has been in wide demand fjr speech
es in this and other state-*. That
he proved to be a magnet to at
tract the voters into the City audi
torium was seen in the capacity
crowd which greeted him on Friday
evening. His masterful defense of
the accredited representative in the
State, fully sustained the claim chat
he is making the strongest speech
of the campaign for Gov. Smith in
North Carolina. The Shelby orator's
Raleigh audience followed him close
ly and many who heard his brilliant
address later referred to him as a
second Aycock. The Hoey’s speech
here heartened local democrats, as
nothing else has done during the
present campaign. The visits of Gov
Smith and his running mate, Sena
tor Robinson, did no more to spur
democrats to action in this seething
political center than has the good
old democratic doctrine Clyde Hoey
preached in the auditorium here on
Friday evening. From the regular
democratic view point, there was no
thing left of the charges the oppo
sition has been directing agninst Al
Smith when Hoey had fini died his
speech. It is considered the strong
est defense of democracy and the
things for which it stands that has
been heard in Raleigh since the
visit of speaker Champ Clark years
and years ago, and marks a reaction
that will enable Wake county dem
ocrats to re-establish their normal
ascendency.
The number who gave Senator
Simmons, long considered the most
noted democrat in North Carolina an
a leader in the United States Senate,
the glad hand here on Thursday ev
ening is variously estimated at be
tween 3,000 and 4,000. In a plain,
straight forward way the Senator
outlined his position in opposing the
election of Governor Alfred Smith
to the presidency.
The political wheel is now running
in high gear and will spin faster and
faster as election day approaches.
Leaders in both the Smith and anli-
Smith camps express confidence in
the result on Tuesday of next week.
The republicans are observing the
activities of the two groups of dem
ocrats, now engaged in throv/ing
nigger into the faces of one an
other, with evident satisfaction and
they claim that they expect to poll
300,0000 republican votes in the an-
Droaching election. They have not
become agitated to any visible ex
tent during the campaign. While
making the pretention of trying to
«’ect their State ticket the drive tor
Hoover,is the main objective.
Chairman Mull, of the democratic
committee, feels that a reaction dur
ing the past week pressages a com
fortable majority in the State for
Gov, Smith and a big load for the
State ticket. Bqt .there is to be ro
let up in the in ;ensive drive inau
gurated weeks ago until the last
ballot has been cast on the 6th of
November. A heavy registration is
reported from every county in the
State and a tremendously large vote
is predicted. Mr. Mull expects the
democratic party to profit by the
presence of the new voter now mill
tantly fighting for its success at the
noils. Hundreds of speaktis are on
the bustlings this week, while
cinct workers are expected to give
good accounts of themselves.
W. L. Knight, assistant manager
of the anti-Smith democratic head
quarters here, says he is entirely sat
isfied with the progress of the cam
paign last week and has a heavy of
who will remain in the
field until the conclusion of the con
test. W. F. Evans, former solicitor

fired his last gun in the "Open forum
in* a political combat the;;.'like of
which has not been witnessed in the
Sfcate since the “white_ supremacy”
battles in 1898 and 1900. : ■*'
Straw votes may not mean a great
deal in hectic political campaigns
like the present one, but the “post
card” election of the Literary Digest
is attracting more than usual atten
tion in this part of the country, es
pecially since published results ob
tained by that magazine give Hoov
er a lead of several thousand votes
in North Carolina and over a mil
lion in the 48 states of the American
Union. Returns from the 6th and
semi-final week show that the re
publican candidate is maintaining
the lead taken by him in the early
voting, with notable increases in
North Carolina and a number of oth
er states. Governor Smith leads on
ly in Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi
and South Carolina. The total vote
in all of the 48 states, including last
week’s poll, stands: Hoover. 1,717.-
041; Smith, 971,356. Notwithstand
ing straw vote estimates and Wall
Street odds on Hoover the democracy
or North Carolina and the country
is making an intensive drive for
Governor Smith and predict that his
vote on November 6th will duplicate
the Wilson surprise of 1916 when
Chas. E. Hughes Tetired on che night
of the election as president of the
United States and waked up the
“morning after” still a private citi
zen.

THREE BIG GUNS
HEARD IN COUNTY
General Cox, O. Max Gardner,
And Cam. Morison Make
Telling Pleas for Smith.
Confusion in the dates of ex-Gov
ernor Morrison caused a disappoint
ment in his failing to fill the ap
pointment made for him here Tues
day of last week, but the error caus
ed Chatham people to get an oppor
tunity to hear Gen. Albert Cox who
was substituted for Governor Mor
rison.
General Cox began by paying tri
bute to the valor of Chatham soldier
boys with whom he was associated
in the world war, and recalled his
associations with Chatham people
while Judge. His speech was sound
and effective. He was introduced
by. Mr. J. L. Griffin, who made an
eloquent talk of a few minutes him
self for the democratic ticket.
On Wednesday evening, Max Gard
ner, North Carolina’s next governor,
delivered an address at Siler City
to a large and appreciative audience
discussing matters of importance in
both the state and national campaign.
Confusion as tQ the time of Gov
ernor Morrison’s speech Monday cut
down the crowd very much, yet be
fore he was through the court house
was comfortably filled. The first
Report of the time was 11 o’clock,
Monday, but later it was set for two
o’clock. However, Mr. Morrison
came with the expectation of speak
ing at 11 a. m. and some of the
neople were expecting it at thpu
hour. He began with very few
present, except the high school pu
pils. who had been permitted to conr
to* hear the noted orator.
His speech was a characteristic
Morrison effort, and was only need
ed to be heard by all the disaffec"
ed democrats in the county to have
assured the usual democratic maic
ity. Applause was frequent. Hi~
arguments for Smith were unanswer
able. It was worth a fifty miie ride
to hear him, and the audience hated
for him to quit.
Has Hated Catholic
1 For Many Years
Aged Lady Doesn’t Like Rec
ord’s Stand For Smith But
Writes a Folksy Letter.
I have been a reader of The Chat
ham Record all of its life, and have
enjoyed it. My husband was an ex-
Democrat and lam the same. When
you came out for that Roman Cath
olic, Anti-Prohibitionist, Al Smith
for President of these United States,
I first couldn’t tolerate that, hnd we
talked about stopping The Record,
but as the subscription had so near
ly expired, we decided not to stop
it, so you need not send another co
py to Miss Virginia Burns.
I enjoyed Mrs. London’s account
of the old-time Pittsboro
that I have been hearing of all my
life. But I did not enjoy her “ex
plosion” of October 4th. I would
like very much to know where she
gets her authority for eulogizing Al
Smith and Tammany Hall as she did.
We have the Encyclopoedia Brittani
ca, twenty-nine volumes, and the de
scriptions of Tammany are very dif
ferent from Mrs. London’s. We have
also Ridpath’s History of the World,
nine volumes, and what it tells of
the Roman Catholics of old is aw
ful to read; and the pictures of peo
pie being tortured by fire to make
them Roman Catholics.
And Maria Monk, an escaped nun
from a convent—l saw a lady very
lately that has read Maria Monk, and
she said she would get the book for
me to read. I think Mrs. London
must have forgotten the terriole
tragedy in Raleigh in 1889, when a
Roman Catholic priest committed an
unspeakable crime, was tried m
court, and his slimy-tongued lawyer
cleared him, and placed all ot the
blame on the innocent young girl.
I don’t know how her father kept
from .killing that priest. I have
heard that Mrs. London wrote her
a letter of condolence. I have hat
ed the name of Roman Catholic ever
since I was a little child. One of the
first songs I ever knew was “The Ro
mish Lady” that I learned when I
was six years old. It was a young
girl who was raised a Roman Catho
lic and refused to be one. Her mo
ther and all of her friends tried ev
ery way to persuade her to remain
a Roman Catholic and offered her
the finest kind of jewelry. But ( no,
she stood firm and steadfast to her
faith in her Bible, and, horror of nor-1
rors, she was burned at the stake, [
and while being -tortured by fire she
sang praises to God. That song
made a lasting impression on the
mind of a little child.
I enjoyed reading about old Cou
sin Martha Burns. Surely her youth
has been renewed like the eagle’s.
She and I have the same name and
both are widows of Confederate vet
erans. I wish I could see her once
more, haven’t seen her since 1875,
but used to see a lot of her when ;I
was growing up, and well remember
what a pretty, nice young lady she
was.
~ I haven’t written a word abour
prohibition. I could write on and
on but maybe I have written too
much already. You may publish
this if you choose to.
