County,
ESTABLISHED SEPTEMBER 19, 1878
CONVICTS ORDERED
OUT OFCOAL MINE
Governor Gardner Directs That
Convicts be Withdrawn from
Coal Glen Mine and Em
ployed on State Highways.
professedly, Governor Gard
ner has lived in dread of wak-
up any morning and learn
ini: that lives of state prisoners
i Kt ve been snuffed out at the
Chatham county coal mine,
where 196 negro prisoners
have been employed.
The policy of hiring convicts to
♦he Carolina Coal Company was in
stituted under the McLean adminis
tration. It was stated at the time
t only volunteers would be al
lowed to work in the mine, but some
are wondering how it is that when
there are more white prisoners than
colored ones, there have been only
negroes sent to the mine. Others are
lure that many of the negroes had
had no experience in mine work and
were ignorant of conditions when
they “volunteered.”
So far as The Record is informed
the employment of the prisoners has
been satisfactory to the management
of the mine, but it seems that the
company has not been able to settle
with the State. The resolutions be
low adopted by the State council
<et forth several reasons for the
withdrawal of the prisoners and
among them the fact that pay has
not been prompt, which alone, we
suspect, was a sufficient reason.
The coal company has been as
unfortunate, one way and another,
as any company could be. In fact,
it has been a marvel how it has sur
vived. Yet there is a future for the
company, if the excellent manage
ment can have an even run for its
money for a few years. The mine
has been one of Chatham’s chief in
dustries, and its shutting down would
be a misfortune.
Follows the resolutions of the
council of State:
“Whereas the employment of con
victs in coal mines in North Caro
line is not in harmony with the
policies of this administration; and
“Whereas, it has been the mani
fest desire of the present adminis
tration to effect an arrangement by
which said convicts should be em
ployed in connection with the work
and services of the highway system;
and
“Whereas, it is apparent that close
co-operation can and will be effected
between the state prison board and
the state highw r ay department in se
curing employment for the ever in
creasing prison population, which
population has become one of the
most serious of our economic and
social problems; and
“Whereas, the operation of said
mine by convict labor has not proven
satisfactory or profitable to the State
as evidenced by the fact that the
Carolina Coal Company has been un
able to promptly meet its obligations
to the State as' its indebtedness fell
due; and
“Whereas, the governor and coun
cil of state has by resolution unani
mously indorsed the withdrawal of
the convicts from working in the
mines of the Carolina Coal Company
near Sanford, and the re-employment
of them in some work connected with
the highway commission:
“Therefore, be it resolved, that the
superintendent of the state’s prison
be and he is hereby directed to with
draw the prisoners which have been
heretofore worked in the mine of
the Carolina Coal Company near San
ford, from such employment and to
immediately negotiate with the high
way department for their reemploy
ment in some work connected with
the highway system.”

A NEW PROCESS FOR
SAVING TRUCK CROPS
Something of Interest to Every
Farmer or Dairyman —ln
Fact to Everybody
$
* Andrew Joyner, erstwhile lawyer
and later newspaper *man, now em
ployed in the State Insurance De
partment, has invented a wonderful
process for saving vegetables in edi
ble form for man or beast. Mr. Joy
ner showed the editor of The Record
samples of his product last winter.
By use of his process the culls of
the Irish potato crop, the surplus
of any vegetable, and crops planted
purposely for the processing can be
preserved for man or beast, and on
a large scale helps to secure cheap
food for all animals, particularly in
the winter season.
The following is from a discrip
tive circular sent out by Mr. Joyner,
and as we feel that the success of
his process is of value to our read
ers, we are printing it, even if it
amounts to a free advertisement for
our old friendt. —No one deserves
it more, and if Andrew’s process is
what it seems to be, he has become
a benefactor to the race. Here is
what is said of the scheme:
How to do it! Do what? Why, how
to take the Gamble out of
Farm-Trucks Crops!
Begin now with: Mangel-Wurtzells.
Also called stock beet or cow beet.
Is a very large beet, growing mostly
above ground and all stock eat it
greedily.
Plow the soil deeply, unless fol
lowing Irish potatoes, when tilth is
just right. Fertilize well, and in May,
June or early July plant six mangel
seeds to the foot in two or two and
one-half or three feet rows, later
thinning to ten to fifteen inches, ac
cording so quality of land, which
must be well drained. An acre re
quires from 5 to 6 pounds of seed.
When a light frost occurs is time
to harvest them, though in some cli
mates they need not be housed.
Andrew Joyner, box 721, Raleigh,
has perfected a process at very small
cost which will process all roots, cab
bages, etc., for poultry, pigs, calves
and cows, making them available for
use every day in the year for human
and animal life.
His ideal vegetable combination is
turnips, ibeets, cabbage, Irish and
sweet potatoes, thereby taking culls
out of the market and gambling out
of farming by putting a small fac
tory on every farm, and a large
factory in every fjhrm district or
town. Mixed with corn meal, cotton
seed meal, wheat bran, and cotton
seed hulls in proper proportions, the
finest dairy feed possible at little
cost, is available on every farm, and
omitting cotton meal and hulls, noth
ing better can be prepared for pigs,
calves, poultry, sheep, etc.
Get seed and plant stock beet now.
Follow later with turnips in 2 % feet
rows, twice the land in beets. They
make an ideal combination and an
immense tonnage.
Rev. C. T. Bland Memorial
Next Sunday morning at the regu
lar service at St. Bartholomews
church, the rector will ask for a
special collection on account of a
suitable memorial to Rev. Mr. Bland,
a former rector at Pittsboro many
vears ago. While he was rector Mr.
Bland did a notable work in estab
lishing a Mission at Sanford. A
group of ladies were organized there
and they bought a large lot and
erected a building, where the Caro
lina Hotel now stands. It was a
flourishing mission for many years.
Finally the lot was sold at a profit
and the church moved to a less de
sirable location in east Sanford.
About six years ago still another lot
was secured on Steele street near the
high school building. Two years ago
a new church was started. The new
building is over 50 per cent com
pleted, with about $5,000 yet re
quired to finish the building. The
memorial to Mr. Bland will be in
the form of a stained glass window
of moderate cost, which will add
very much to the beauty of the
church. It is hoped that all the ac
quaintances and friends of Mr. Bland
will wish to share in honoring this
saintlv man who sojourned here for
a while and was one of the most be
loved ministers who ever lived in
Pittsboro. Contributions to the
memorial may be placed in the col
lection next Sunday, or may be given
to Mrs. N. M. Hill, or to Mr. Will
L. London.

Several have said that our town
ship Sunday school convention held
Saturday at Emmaus was the best
we have ever held. Good reports
were received from three of the four
schools and a good crowd was in
attendance from those three schools,
including the pastor of each church.
Helpful talks were given by the min
isters and the other speakers. It
seems that the service should be of
real value to the schools represented.
Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Johnson gave
an ice cream party Saturday night
in honor of the tenth birthday of
their little daughter, Lucille. Mr. and
Mrs. G. G. Lutterloh were responsi
ble for this in memory of some kind
deeds toward them by little Lucille
sometime ago. A large crowd was
present and everybody seemed to en
joy the occasion. Cream and cake
in abundance, many beautiful flow
ers, string music, vocal quartets, to
gether with the association of friends
made the evening a memorable one.
We were glad to have several* back
in Sunday school last- Sunday who
have been missing for some time for*
various reasons.
We were glad to have the follow
ing old members of the school with
us: Mr. J. L. Mann of Burlington,
Mrs. Walter Ray of Durham, and
her husband, who, however, was never
a member of the school.
Only 100 gallons of milk a day
have been assured for the milk route,
where 155 was expected. However,
the amount will, it is hoped, be in
creased later. Sour cream sellers are
somewhat discouraged over recent
tests and will probably consider try
ing the milk route. However, it goes
against the grain with some to have
to do so much work on Sunday as
will be required in selling milk in
stead of cream. The Bible promises
that those who trust Him and do His
will shall not suffer. Even if lots
of crops are suffering, will he fail?
We have had lots of rain, but for
tunately no bad stofm.'
Mr. W. W. Lutterloh has the brag
field of corn, eight acres that is very
promising.
Mrs. W. E. Dark and little Maxine
are spending a few days with the
former’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. N.
Justice, while Mr. Dark is in Chicago
on business.
Mrs. O. D. Mcßane of Greenville
called to see her sister, Mrs. F. R.
Henderson Sunday.
Mr. Jim Crutchfield of Burlington
spent Sunday here with his brother,
Mr. I. E. Crutchfield.
Mr. Van Perry of Burlington called
on his mother, Mrs. Ann Perry,
Sunday afternoon.
Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Hamlet visited
slr. and Mrs. G. P. Whitaker Sunday
to see the latter’s sister and her new
baby girl. 1 *
Mr. Frank Perry who has a job
hauling near Washington spends the
week-ends at home.
Mrs. J. T. Wright accidentally fell
from the porch and crippled herself,
but not permanently, we hope.
Mrs. P. A. Thomas failed because
of sickness to have her fine boy out
to show Sunday.
We must not forget to mention
the kindness of the good ladies who
filled the long table at Emmaus with
so sumptuous a dinner.
It was quite a surprise to Mr. J.
F. Boudlin’s family to have 22 rela
tives from Randolph drive up Sunday
week with a big dinner for all.
Great Crowd at
Centennial Meet
It is estimated that near 2000
people attended the Centennial cele
bration at Gum Springs Baptist
church Sunday. M. C. Horton Poe of
Durham, historian for the occasion
delivered a forty-minute speech in
which he set forth the chief points
in the history of the old church. It
was organized in July 1829. The
second session of the Sunday school
convention of the Sandy Creek Asso
ciation was held there in 1860. The
first Sunday school at Gum Springs
was organized in 1867, with J. S.
Laster superintendent. Moncure and
Flat Springs churches are daughters
of this old church. The lives and
work of various pastors and leaders
were told, and the audience would
gladly have heard more.
Pastor Caudill preached on “Home-
Coming,” here and in, heaven. Din
ner followed. A table 60 feet lon«‘
was loaded with good things. All
had an abundance. The noon hour
was spent in greeting old friends
and making new ones.
The noon hour was followed by
good music and a stirring address
by Mr. Matthews of Sanford.
It was universally declared a
great day. A collection of $37 was
gladly contributed to pay for the
painting of the church, which was
done last week.

ATTEMPT^WILL BE
OPPOSED BY STATE
State Desires Entire Divorce of
Road from Southern—A. L.
Brooks Outspoken Against
Move
A new crisis has arisen in
the State’s long fight to undo
the error of a score of years
ago when the old Cape Fear
and Yadkin Valley Railroad
was dissevered at Sanford, the
Atlantic Coast Line securing
the lower half and the South
ern the upper half. The inten
tion of the State to have in this
line the foundation of an east
and west line independent of
the competing north and south
system was thus thwarted, and
persistent efforts have been
made to have the decree legal
izing the division of the road
declared void, and the fight
has not yet been given over.
The clipping below, from The
Greensboro News of Saturday, tells
what the new plan of the Southern
is, but it is meeting strong opposi
tion. A. L. Brooks, the Greensboro
attorney who has so long led in the
fight, has declared his hostility to the
plan, and the State and the city of
Greensboro will continue the fight.
Says The News:
"The Southern Railway System t
sometime next month will appear be
fore Judge E. Yates Webb, federal
court, western district of North Car
olina, and ask that the Atlantic and
Yadkin railroad receivership be set
aside and that the railroad, running
between Mount Airy and Sanford, be
turned back to the Atlantic and Yad
kin corporation to be operated in
dependent of the Southern system.
“Reorganization of the A. and Y.
corporation perfected at a meet
ing of the stockholders and directors
held here yesterday. H. W. Miller,
vice president in charge of operations
of the Southern system, was present
for the meeting. The Southern owns
the majority of the Atlantic and Yad
kin stock.
Julian Price, president of the Jef
ferson Standard Life Insurance Com
pany, was elected president of the
corporation by the directors, while
the stockholders elected Julius Cone,
J. E. Latham, Clarence Watkins, all
of this city, and A. E. Smith, of
Mount Airy, directors. There remains
one vacancy on the board to be
filled.
“Here is the story in brief: If
Judge Webb dismisses the receiver
ship the Atlantic and Yadkin will be
operated as a competitive line to the
Southern under the direct super
vision of Julian Price, who served
the Southern Railway for about 20
years before entering the insurance
business.”
