Our challenge to the Sim
mons partisans to answer the
editorial of last week stands.
We double-dare them to un
dertake it.
$
Pittsboro needs police serv
ice at night worse than in the
day. There is never any mis
behavior to count here during
the day. On the other hand,
thieves break through and
steal at night and booze-kill
ers get in their work. A po
liceman on the job last Friday
night might have found a
booze bunch in a place of
business. Particulars can be
given interested officials.
$
Well, Pittsboro is still a
borough and a very small
one. The census shows a
population of 675, a gain of
91 in ten years. A very small
gain, but consider the quality
of it! But really, Pittsboro
has grown more than that.
The trouble is that the build
ing has been largely done just
beyond the town limits. For
instance, the silk mill group
of residences is out of town.
<s>
If there is a single Chatham
county candidate who voted
for Hoover two years ago, it
is only fair that the people
know it. Also, it will not hurt
any candidate to stop his
pussy-footing on the Bailey-
Simmons contest. The editor
of the Record is himself not
a pussy-footer and would pre
fer to vote for an outright
Simmons man who has the
courage to say he is, than for
a weakling who keeps his
opinions covered, whether he
is for the one or the other
of the senatorial candidates.
A difference in opinion on
such a matter is not vital, but
the q'uality of the candidate
is. But being for a
certain candidate does not
necessarily mean that one is
to become offensive in his sup
port of his favorite. We sim
ply like people who are un
afraid, who run for office un
der their true colors, and if
beaten bear defeat with a
real grace.
<g>
The observance of Easter,
like that of Christmas, we
fear, fails to convey to more
than a few the real signifi
cance of the event celebrated.
If Jesus rose from the dead,
only one other event outranks
it, and that is his ascension.
But whether he actually rose
from the dead or not, an
event, however, which is more
thoroughly established by di
rect and worthy testimony
than almost any other event
the time, the story of the
life, death, ascension, and
doctrines of Jesus has done
more to regenerate society
than all other things com
bined. Suppose these things
were fiction, what a glorious
fiction it would be! We of
our day may think the world
is wicked, but to one who re
cently waded through Taci
tus’ story of the corruption
of Rome just at the Jesus
epoch the leavening power of
the Gospel is more evident
than ever. Our hopes of
equity, justice, love, and peace
in this world and happiness
in the next all revolve around
the Gospel story of him who
died and rose again and then
ascended before the eyes of
men who vouched for their
story with their lives. Yet how
little significance have these
marvelous events to many of
us! Even the great Unitarian
preacher and writer Dr. Ab
bott declared that there is no
event of ancient history more
adequately vouched for than
the resurrection of Jesus. The
Gospel has wrought it won
ders, but if the real signifi
cance of the resurrection and
the ascension were actually
recognized by the people of
this generation, we should
more highly regard the teach
ings of the Sermon on the
■ Mount, and might expect a
more rapid righting of the
wrongs that make this world
a place of woe to so many of
-its teeming millions.
The folly of North Caro
lina’s educational tax policies
cannot be better illustrated
than by the fact that hun
dreds and thousands of school
children are having the shel
ters sold from over their
heads to pay school taxes.

It looks at this writing if
Judge Parker has very little
chance of being confirmed as
a member of the supreme
court. North Carolina Repub
licans may blame the Republi
cans of the States in which
the negro vote is necessary to
maintain Republican domi
nancy. Southern Democrats
havej as a rule, done their
best to get his confirmation
through. Senator Overman is
still fighting for the North
Carolina Republican even
when the judicial committee
have turned him down by a
vote of ten to six.
It is now against the law
fish, and every citizen has an
opportunity to show the qual
ity of his citizenship. The
order against fishing during
the breeding season is intend
ed for the public good and
especially for the benefit of
fishermen themselves. If you
are a genuine sportsman, you
have no better way to show
it than by the strict observ
ance of the law against fish
ing during this breeding sea
son. What one often deems
an unimportant matter speaks
volumes as to the real quality
of the man and citizen. Straws
show the direction of the
wind, and your attitude to
ward this restriction in fishing
will as clearly show the char
acter of vour citizenship.

All right. If nobody takes
any steps to have the mem
bers of the board of educa
tion chosen, or recommended,
by the people, the Record
does not want to hear any
complaints against the men
who shall be appointed by the
legislature upon the endorse
ment of one or two Demo
cratic leaders. By following
the suggestion of the Record,
within four years the board
of education will have the en
dorsement of the voters, and
the people may feel that they
are more directly in control
of school affairs. On the con
trary, ten years from now
they can still be kicking about
the management of county
school affairs by a clique.
Even if the very same men
are recommended by the peo
ple as by the few individuals
who otherwise will choose the
members of the board, who in
turn choose the county super
intendent, both the people
and the school officials should
feel the better in knowing
that the schools are managed
by men who have the endorse
ment of the voters and tax
payers.

The editor ran up to
Chapel Hill Friday and
thought to catch Oscar Coffin
teaching his young journalists
how to shoot, but his class
had just been dismissed and
he was writing an editorial
for the Greensboro News. We
really did not know that he
was one of the editorial
writers of that paper till that
day, and it will be interesting
to try to spot his contribu
tions. But if we failed to get
the benefit of observing his
class work, we had the pleas
ure of testing the first dinner
cooked on Mrs. Coffin’s new
electric range, and if that one
is a sample of the output of
the new range, we shall ex
pect that husband of Mrs.
Coffin’s to get fat, if good
eats can make him so. Mrs.
Coffin* was getting off with
the playmakers, for she is one
of the actors in that group.
Wilson, the fine 15-year-old
son, told us that he likes
Latin, and his dad thereupon
considered that the Record
man would have more respect
for the intellect of the family,
but as we saw that Mrs. Coffin
is responsible for the Latinity
of her son, we can hardly see
how our respect for that boy’s
calibre is to help “OJ” very
much. Mr. and Mrs. Coffin
dropped us at the home of
Louis Graves, who has been
lying up with lumbago, but
we were glad to find him less
afflicted than we feared. The
Record man delights in the
I friendship of those two fine
families. They are friends
vorth having.

Any tax reduction propa
ganda that do not include agi
tation for reduction of all sal
aries to a level more nearly
confirming to the incomes of j
the majority of tax payers j
are not to be greatly acclaim
ed. Shifting taxes from one
shoulder to the other is not a
sufficient relief. It should al- j
ways be borne in mind that
a state salary is a sure thing,
that the income is certain, re- t
quiring neither capital nor
initiative to earn it. When,
those who fix salaries com- j
pare them with the incomes
of the more successful busi-j
ness men, lawyers, physicians,
business managers, etc., they
should bear in mind that more
men with apparently as fair
prospects have failed to make
more than a mere living in
these very vocations than have
prospered, and that scarcely
another could thus thrive in
any of them without reducing
the income of the more suc
cessful. The element of risk
and the necessity for initia
tive are almost totally lacking
in the case of a public salary.
Living is cheaper now, or
should be if a family knows
how to live on a fair income,
and there is no equitable rea
son under the sun why one
citizen should be oppressed to
make life over-easy for an
other.

SIMMONS VOTED FOR RASKOB
—<s>
(Greenbsoro Daily Record Editorial
April 15, 1930.
Senator F. M. Simmons has been
voicing anew his opposition to John
J. Raskob as chairman of the Dem
ocratic National Committee, the
latest statements being timed, ap
parently, so as to have the great
est influence in the senatorial race
in North Carolina, where charges
have been made—without any basis
in fact—that Simmons’ opponent, J.
W. Bailey, is the representative of
Raskob.
Well, let’s see about this Sim
mons’ opposition to Mr. Raskob.
When the latter was named chair
man of the committee on July 12,
1928, Senator Simmons was a mem
ber, having been re-elected only a
few weeks before. He did not ap
pear at the meeting which elected
Raskob, but sent his secretary,
Frank Hampton, who had with him
the Simmons proxy. When Gover
nor Smith expressed his preference
for Raskob, the committee took a
vote and, according to press dis
patches of that time, elected Ras
kob without a dissenting voice. In
other words, Hampton as the repre
sentative of Simmons voted to elect
Raskob to bead the Democratic na
tional committee. The senator has
never voiced, so far as newspaper
reports show, any criticism of Mr.
Hampton for his action.
All of this may not be very im
portant, but we may as well keep
history straight. Simmons is play
ing the Raskobb issue to the limit
so it may be just as well to let the
voters know that Mr. Simmons,
through his proxy, helped to elect
Raskob to the post he now holds.
Death of W. J. Williams
Mr. W. J. Williams of Baldwin
township died Saturday morning at
2:20 O’clock, after an illness of
several months. He was about
seventy years of age.
The burial was at Mt. Gilead
Baptist church, Sunday afternoon
at three o’clock, Rev. R. R. Gordon
conducting the funeral services.
Mr. Williams was a very fine
citizen and numbered many friends
among his broad acquaintance. He
had been married twice. His first
wife was a Miss Abernathy, to
whom were born six children, name
ly, Messrs. James, Ed, Curt, Carl,
and Colie, and a daughter married,
but husband not known to the
writer.
His second wife was Miss Sallie
Herndon, who survives her husband.
To this marriage four children were
born, Ben, Aggie, Bettie, and Wal
ter, all at home.
Mr. Williams was sorely afflicted
for months before his death, but
bore his affliction with much
patience and Christian grace.
He was a member of Mt. Gilead
Baptist church for many years.

Adults Contract
Children's Diseases
Adults can, and do, contract
many children’s diseases. And, usu
ally, they suffer from them much
more than children do. For in
stance, many adults contract worms,
an ailment usually associated with
children. Sometimes they suffer in
tensely and take expensive medical
treatments, without realizing that
worms are the cause of their trou
bles. Yet, the symptoms are the
same as in children, loss of appe
tite and weight, grinding the teeth
and restless sleep, itching of the
nose and anus, and abdominal pains.
And, the same medicine that surely
and harmlessly expels round and
pin worms from children will do
the same for adults—White’s Cream j
Vermifuge, which you can get at
Pittsboro Drug Co. —Adv
