“No Man Liveth to Himself”
is Text of Cary Farm
Leader
®
T e Recoi'd is reproducing from
tV Nows and Observer the follow
er article from the pen of Dr.
Templeton of Cary, for two or three
reasons. That veteran knows a few
things. He has lived and observed
and knows how to say what he
think*. But it is his observations
on •‘overproduction” that we are
particularly interested in, as they
£t ? 0 nicely in with what The Rec
ord had to say the very day Dr.
Templeton’s article appeared in the
News and Observer. Compare Dr.
Templeton’s views on overproduc
tion with ours as found in the edi
torial of last week, captioned “The
Missing Principle.”
*T have been waiting until every
body had his say about farm mat
ters to lake a flyer at the problem
myself,” said Dr. J. M. Templeton,
of Cary, yesterday. “My text is
from St. Paul, ‘No man liveth to
himself.’
•‘ln this day of mass production
of both raw material and finished
products, ‘conferences,’ ‘live at
home’ and ‘cut acreage’ campaigns
will no more cure our agricultural
ill? than would a mustard plaster
on the big toe cure tuberculosis.
More than 60 years ago the Grange
came preaching ‘live at home’; then
the Alliance and Cotton Growers’
Association took it up; then the
Farmers’ Union rang the changes
on it from the mountains to the
sea. Farm leaders like Colonel
Polk. C. C. Moore and Dr. Alex
ander advocated it unti lthey saw it
was powerless to save agriculture.
“Thus for two generations it has
been urged on the farmers and they
have almost unanimously refused
the advice and our farmers are not.
fools. Now the book farmers, bank-,
ers and time merchants propose to
coerce them by withholding credit,
if they reject such advice. That
means going to Apex where Pat Up
church has been getting from SSO
to S3OO per acre for his little to
bacco crop and telling him he must
plant corn, that if he had a market
for it it might bring him S2O per
acre; or to Cary where Jap Pender
graft makes five bales of cotton
on six acres, depite the boll weevil,
and tell him he must plant wheat
that might sometimes bring him sls
per acre, and if they refuse they
will get neither money or credit.
Next some one will be telling the
doctor to treat malaria with sooth
ing syrup, the carpenter to build
houses out of poke root, the tailer
to make coats out of fig leaves at
the peril of having their credits
cut off.
“If ‘live at home’ is good for
cotton growers why not for grain
raisers? Let’s go up to lowa, have
Governor Hammill set aside a ‘live
at home’ week, tell his people not
to have their wardrobe in the cot
ton belt, to raise flax and make
rayon, keep their money at home.

IA SKETCH OF COL.
,j JIM DAN DORSETT
| We are indebted to the Greens
j boro News for the following in
i teresting sketch of Col. J. D. Dor
| sett, written by his son, Rev. H. G.
Dorsett, who is now famous in
the State as the man who as a
candidate for the Republican nom
ination for U. S. senator has put
the Republican machine in a hole
and seems likely to force upon his
oarty a State primary, contrary to
the usual custom. It grieves Col.
Dorsett’s host of friends to know
! that he is sick and that his long
j and honorable career is drawing to
an end.
The sketch follows:
“It is a great privilege to be
at the bedside of my father, Col.
James Dan Dorsett, at the home of
my sister, Mrs. V. M. Dorsett. He
has perhaps lived as strenuous and
hazardous a life as any man in our
good State at the present time,
which is the reason for writing this
sketch while he is living. He is
now* in his 87lh year, and is the
last survivor of the volunteers of
the most famous company and regi
ment of our great civil war, com*
pany E 26th North Carolina (Gov
ernor Vance’s old regiment). He
is now ill hei’e in 100 yards of
Mathews cross roads where he vol
unteered in 1860 at the age of 17
years. With his company, he was
in skirmishes and in the first bat
tle of New Bern, thence to Rich
mond where they participated in
the seven days’ fight, ‘Where we
put McClellan on the gun boats,
and I had a man killed right by
my side,’ as he states it.
“He was in Pickett’s and Petty
grew’s famous charge at Gettys
burg.. Here his regiment lost over
80 per cent in killed or wounded;
Little Dan Thomas picking the col
ors up after they had been shot
down 16 times and carrying them
almost alone to the rock wall,
when they reached out and pulled
him over, saying that he was too
brave a man to be shot. My father
. came within a few yards of the
breastworks, where he was wounded
in the leg and made prisoner the
last day, July 4 1864. He was
slightly wounded in the arm the
first day’s fighting. Carried pris
oner to New York, he was pa
roled and worked in the enrolling
office out of Raleigh the remainder
of the war. My father was a great
friend of lawyer, John Manning,
making trips together, one furnish
ing the horse the other the buggy.
They bought a carload of salt
about this time.
“My father moved to Florida four
times, twice through the country.
This was before the pioneer days
were over, Florida being sparsely
settled at that time. He ran a mer
cantile business at Apopka City,
traveling practically all over Flor
ida with his goods, which he ex
changed with the Indians and others
for furs and hides. During the
panic of the early 80’s he liquidated
the best he could and came back
and purchased his father’s old home
stead on Hickory mountain in
Chatham county.
“This section on Rocky river is
where his great-grandfather, Fran
cis Dorsett, came and settled in the
17th century. His name is on the
petition in defiance of Governor
Tryon about taxes. His grandfather,
John Dorsett, lived to be 92 years
of age. He was married the second
time after he was 80, having a fam
ily of three children by the second
marriage. When he died the age
between his youngest and oldest
child was 76 years. His father,
Robert Dorsett, had a race track
three-fourths of a mile long on
their land, where they had races
every spring and autumn. These
were participated in by the wealthier
gentry in the ante-bellum days, and
were considered great occasions. My
father’s mother was Miss Sally Per
ry, a noted family in this section
for longevity, numerous relations,
and happy occasions.
“At the close of the war, my
father married Miss Fanny Hack
ney, the daughter of the Rev. Dan
iel Hackney, Grandfather Hackney
was a combination of minister and
statesman, being a member of the
lower house of the legislature sev
eral terms. He lost four sons in
the war.
“My father has lived a life of
temperance, always against liquor
and for prohibition. Wherever my
parents lived they were zealous in
religious work, mother organizing
women’s prayer meetings. They were
always friends of the poorer people.
He has been a friend to all, white
and colored, and all are concerned
about his recovery. One neglected
boy comes every day to see him,
usually with a cast-off bottle of
gathered flowers.
- “This one 'incident. In Florida
there were a great many Italians.
One was left in .a hut .with .an
awful running ,sore. In my father’s
words, ‘Your mother sent four men
with sheets after him.’ She has
told me how she nursed Pat Scand
ing back to health,' without money.,
and' without price, but she believed
he became a Christian.
“I am sorry for the fellow who
imagines I might be a quitter. The
greatest contribution I ask is of
the folks who try to pray, that God
will rule and overrule, and give

COLORED SCHOOL CLOSES
The Pittsboro colored school
closed its six, months term Friday.
R. E. Lowe of Reidsville has been
principal. He was assisted by two
women teacher, which were evi
dently too few, as the enrollment
was 157, and the actual average
attendance 134. The school has one
year of high school work. The at
tendance average is fine. Principal
Lowe has elicted more than the
usual interest by introducing tennis
and by showing interest in the ball
and other games. The teachers
bought the tennis outfit themselves
and allowed the pupils to use their
rackets. Th sohool seems to have
been well conducted and the teach
ers deserve credit for their eqorts.
Principal Lowe is a bachelor of sci

Mr. Editor:
North Carolina, through all its

$25,000,000 in interest everyy ear.
But let us come a little closer
home. I offered to take the tax
list in Allbright township for s4l
and didn’t get the job. They have
been paying Bert Phillips in Bear
Creek township S2OO, when a wom
an with a first grade certificate
would have taken it for fifty.
If I had the power I should stop
every public school in North Caro
lina for one year and catch up. I
see now why Chase and Gaines
are leaving the State. We ought
to run the schools and the roads
on just half what it is now cost
ing. When I was young we seldom
had a murder case and would try
the case in two days. No\# how
long does it take?

vember, 1852, died March 16, 1930.
He was well known throughout this
section, having served forty years as
justice of the peace. And he was a
man who liked peace. He settled
more quarrels than any man of the
community. He was the kind of
man that wanted every one to be
a good citizen.
He was taken ill February 15.
On the seventeenth he was carried
to the Wesley Hospital .at Greens
boro. where he was nu”sed most of
the time by his granddaughter, Miss
Argie Stinson. His wife and two
daughters, Mesdames Stinson and
Cheek, went with him.
He was operated upon Saturday
morning morning, March 15, and
died the next morning. His body
was brought that afternoon to the
home of Mr. W. H. Hill at Gulf,
where it remained until the fun
eral, which was conducted by Rev.
John Harris of Rockwell, assisted
by Rev. E. W. Byerly, of Bonlee.
It is said that the crowd attending
the funeral services was the largest
ever seen at the church. ______
He leaves to mourn his departure,
his wife, Mrs. Augusta Tally, and
six children, namely, H. A. Tally,
of Jonesboro, Mrs. J. B. Stinson of
Goldston, J. D. Tally of Mebane,
Mrs. G. M. Phillips of Bennett, Mrs.
J. C. Cheek of Rockwell, and S. A.

His nephews were pall bearers
and his granddaughters flower girls.
He was laid to rest in Gulf Bap

PUTTING THE MISSING
PRINCIPLE INTO ITS
RIGHTFUL PLACE
OF OPERATION
By JUNIUS DURHAM
There predominates in every
move of the present day agitation
for farm relief, for better wages
and shorter hours in labor, and
for steadier employment one cen
tral idea, CO-OPERATION, now
recognized as an absolute essential
to permanent financial success for
any class. Yet, with all their zeal,
few advocates of group co-opera
tion seem to realize the wonderful
opportunities of bringing greater
wealth, comfort, and happiness, not
to a mere group within the pop
ulation, but to all people who are
willing to assume an honest posi
tion in the commercial and social
order of the nation, by extending
this idea of oc-operation to include
all, farmers, all other laboring
classes, business men, and all others
honestly interested in the better
welfare of humanity into one gi
gantic organization, democratically,
but efficiently, directed. As Peter
son has asserted many times, there
is something radically wrong with
any economic system which allows
many millions to lack decent food,
clothing, comfortable homes, med
ical attention, proper means of rec
reation, etc., amidst the great cry
of over-production, when by an ef
ficiently organized means of eco
nomical distribution , every one
might easily enjoy the comorts and
leisure now available to* only a
few.
The missing economic principle
is evidently to be found in the
intelligent direction and distribu
tion of labor, and in the efficient
distribution of the products of la
bor, to the advantage of both the
producer and the consumer. This,
I believe, can best be accomplished
by thorough organization as sug
gested above; but in order to facili
tate clearness in my explanation
of how, in my opinion, most ef
fective results might be secured
along these lines, I shall proceed
as follows:
I WOULD CONFIDENTLY GUAR
ANTEE THAT, if I were given
the privilege of putting my plan
of relief into operation, to have
% reasonable „ sum. .qL . monev with
which to finance the organization,
and to select these men whom I
should desire to aid in its manage
ment, BY THE END OF THE
THIRD YEAR AFTER THE CRE
ATION AND FINANCING OF THIS
ORGANIZATION, THERE WOULD
BE NO SERIOUS PROBLEMS AS
TO AGRICULTURE, POVERTY
WAGES, UNEMPLOYMENT, or
BUSINESS. Furthermore, there
would be laid a foundation for fu
ture prosperity so firm as to make
it difficult, or practically impossible,
for such periods of depression to
ever occur again, so long as the
organization remained under intel
ligent control. BUT HOW?
I admit that doing this would
not be a task easily accomplished,
that much indeed would depend
upon those selected to aid me in
the direction of the work. Their
qualities of character, ability, and
experience would have to comply
with certain definite standards.
In addition to the need of cap
able executives, the program must
bfe financed. I believe that thirtv
million dollars ($30,000,000).
would be sufficient for the pur
pose, and it certainly would be a
very reasonable sum, for it is equal
only to the capital of the recently
organized cotton co-operative mar
keting association which dis de
signed for the aid of cotton farm
ers alone, while the purpose of
the other is to place the entire
nation upon a sound economic ba
sis. Also, that sum would average
only about twenty-five cents (25c)
for each person in the United
States.
But it should hardly be necessary
to argue as to the reasonableness
of that amount to be used in so
great an undertaking. On the
contrary, it is quite possible that
the majority of my readers will be
skeptical as to the possibility of
any noticeable results being achiev
ed with so small an amount. It
would indeed require the greatest
and wisest of economy in financial
expenditures.
But to the point: After the se
lection of those executives of the
organization who should work under
my direct supervision, a campaign
would be directed to enlist as many
members as possible from every
conceivable class in agriculture,
labor, industry, or business, in
structing them as to th/- purpose
and intended work. Thi? would be
an entirely democratic and liberal
association, for at any time, by the
wishes of the majojrity of the
membership, any director might be
replaced. . The work should be per
formed, not by attempted force,
but by most efficient distribution
.of labor, by encouraging greatest
efficiency in all phases of- ’produc
tion, whether agricultural or indus
trial, and, most,, important of all,
to aid in .the wisest possible dis
tribution of every product so that
little of anything would be wasted
as long as any one were in need
of that particular thing. In all this
we should strive to decrease the
■average number of hours of labor

STUNT NIGHT
A Lively Time at Pittsboro School
Auditorium Last Friday' Evening
—Sfuhfs Real^PerToFmahces:
No it wasn’t like the “Naval
Disarmament Conference” being
held in the city of London. This
was a “wang” of a success. A very
unique and keen program was plan
ned for “Stunt Night,” which was
held in the Pittsboro high school
auditorium, last Friday night.
It was one of the kind of social
functions when you ask how Uncle
Joe and Aunt Mary are getting
along. The program was enjoyed in .
spite of the fact that you were
informed that Aunt Mary was very
sick with a terrible cold.
“Damrosch” (Mrs. W. P. Horton)
conducted his orchestra with a
great deal of skill and ability. Even
Rudy Vallee would have envied the
i personal touch which was shown
by Damrosch’s Tin-Pan band when
they played I might be wrong but
I think you are wonderful.” This
number was requested by Mr. X
to be played for Miss Z.
Amos and Andy were there “in
person” and were “regusted” that
they did not receive the prize.
Each teacher had her grade put
on an original stunt, and the orig
inality brought out in the program
was quite a success. Every grade
in the School took part in this
interesting program, including the
“Dignified Seniors,” who walked
away with first prize. They were
presented with a beautiful picture
of “Baby Ray”—l beg your par
don, it was a picture of “Baby
Stuart.”
The sixth graders captured the
prize for the grammar grades. They
received a “Medicine Chest” filled
with good old caster oil.
It was one of the best programs
that the Pittsboro school has ever
had. “Sunt Night” was sponsored
by the P. T. A. Much credit should
be given to Miss Agnes McDonald
and Miss Margaret Wren who had
charge of the program. “I might
be wrong but I think Stunt Night
was wonderful,” and I hope we
will have it every year.
