Mr?. R. H. Hayes returned Satur-
j aV from a visit to her brother in
;-) a \-je county. She was accompanied
.rom' Winston by Mrs. 0. W. Hamil
ton and son Billy. Mrs. Hamilton
et urned home Monday but left
p illy with his grandparents Mr.
in d* Mrs. W. M. Eubanks for the
week, and he feels like a big
Billy this week. ,
Colon Pattishall reports ten Bailey
votes coming from one household in
Oakland township. Well, the family
f the editor, counting son, daugh
ters, and son-in-laws, will give the
veal Demoncratic candidate nine
votes, if nothing happens. However,
we are not all in the same house
hold.
Pastor Dailey had snap beans
ready for the table from his garden
the 23d of May. He expects to
gather cucumbers the last of this
week.
Miss Louise Brooks left Tuesday
morning for an extended visit to
her aunt Miss Rica Brooks in Rich
mond, Ya.
Mrs. J. W. Burke of Goldston re
turned Saturday from a week’s visit
to her son in Raleigh.
It is gratifying to report Mrs.
Henry A. London as able to be up.
though confined while up to a wheel
chair. However, she is hoping to be
rolled in that very chair to the court
house Saturday* to cast her vote for
J. W. Bailey for the senate.
Dr. R. L. Caviness, of Coleridge,
and Ed. Phillips, G. H. Andrews,
and C. E. Jones of Bennett, were
Pittsboro visitors Tuesday. They
later journeyed on to Raleigh for
a few T hours visit.
If you believe in rotation in office
you might give heed to the adver
tisement in this paper of the candi
dacy of Mr. Holloway for corpora
tion commissioner.
C. Horton Poe has written that
article you find in another column
with the spirit and grace of a poet.
Much of it is a real prose—poem.
You may expect .other articles from
Mr. Poe.
Jim May and Wilson Burns spent
last week at Wrightsville Beach.
Several of the Pittsboro fellows also
ran down for a week-end visit, in
cluding John Burns, Joe Wirtz,
George May, and others.
Mr. Grady Norwood and family,
of Winston-Salem, are spending the
week with Mr. Norwood’s parents,
Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Norwood of
Baldwin township.
Mrs. F. B. Jones, mother-in-law of
Gordon Kneck, saw her first show
of any kind last Monday night, She
is seventy years of age. She has
lived in Center township the most
of her life. She saw “The Hotten
tots” at the Pilot Theatre and was
astounded by the talking. She in
tends to go again.
Bob Paschal and Mrs. Paschal are
on their annual pilgrimage back
from Fort Worth, Texas to theii
old stamping grounds near Siler
City. A card from Bob indicated
that they had reached Mineral Wells,’
and he directs his paper to be sent
to Siler City. He says he hopes to
find Bailey nominated when he
gets here. Bob is principal of the
biggest high school in Fort Worth.
He has just graduated a class of
402, and graduated a class of 105
in January, making a total for the
year 507. That is some school.
Chatham is assigned $55,832.01
of the equalization funds for schools.
Pretty good, but Roberson gets
more than twice as much.
To indicate that the Record is
making no mistake in trusting the
good citizens it has on its list till
it is convenient for them to pay,
we cite two instances within a week.
Just now Mr. A. E. Cotton, of
Merry Oaks, w 7 ho seldom comes to
town, walked in and paid us five
dollars, sending his subscription
ahead as it had been behind. Mr.
W. T. Suit of Bynum did a similar
thing last week. Now, of course,
we are likely to have some no-ac
count folks, on our list, little, mean
fellows who will not pay when they
can, but we believe there are very
few of them, so few that we should
rather lose their accounts than to
spend so much t-rying to keep upon
a cash basis these hard times. And
if We do spot one of those mean
scamps, we know the people well
enough now to remember him, and
when he is off the list, he will be
off for good, without the spot
eash in advance. Again, we may
lose on some folk who will never
be able to pay, people who are
honest but in hard luck. But, even
then, we shall not lose as much
as it wouki cost these times to
keep upon a cash-in-advance basis.
However, as we trust the folk to
pay when they can, we hope they
will live up to our expectations,
as have the gen .emen named, and
many others. Don’t be little and
mean.
Mr. P. J. Fergoson, a native of
Ireland, who was rather badly
crushed in the Carolina Coal mine
three months ago, is out of 'he
hospital and was here Mondaj,
though by no means in sturdy
health. Mr. Fergoson has been in
America about 36 years.
Mrs. J. W. Hunt spent the week
- :.d with Mrs. Wright in Raleigh.
Mr. James Cordon has a job with
tie highway commission and has
headquarters at Troy. He was
home Sunday. .. . A .
A large part of the county had
: a fine rain last Thursday, but hail
i accompanied the rain in some sec
tions, doing more l or less damage
to growing crops. The southwestern
1 part of the county is very dry.
Miss Cammie Hamlet and Mary
Dell .Whitaker are visiting Mrs. i.
P. Straughan in Durham, and
Georgia Brewer has been visiting
her aunts in Durham.
Be sure to read all in this paper
about poisoning the weevil and
. side-dressing corn and cotton. Let’s
have a real crop in Chatham this
year.
Miss Sankie Perry has returned
home from Watts hospital, where
she underwent a successful opera
tion for appendicitis.
Little Edwin Brown Hatch, the
youngests child of Mr. and Mrs.
E. B. Hatch, has been in Watts
Hospital for treatment for colitis.
Mr. Lee Powell and sister Miss
Camilla, home for the week-end,
gave an informal dance Saturday
evening to a number of their
young friends. Miss Camilla, who has
been w T ith the Simmons campaign
folk in Raleigh, will probably be
home after this week, and Lee will
be home from the University.
Miss Azile Hill is at Watts Hos
pital for treatment.
Miss Lillie Hill of Spray spent
last week with her mother, Mrs.
N. M. Hill.
Mrs. T. K. Duncan, who joined
her husband at Campti, La., re
cently has had an opportunity to
see what a Louisiana flood can do.
However, Campti is on the side of
Red River less subject to overflow.
The flood seems to be confined to
the Red River. Below Alexandria
the levees are built with a view to
Mississippi floods and will probably
hold the Red River flood, which
can escape down the broad and
unflooded Mississippi. But the
counties on the north of the river
between Shreveport and Alexandria
are catching the worst flood they
have had in many years . Ten
thousand people have been driven
from their homes right across the
river from Campti, where Mrs.
Duncan is located.
Miss Pearl Johnson, missionary to
China, will sail for America on
June 22, and is supposed to land at
San Francisco on July 11. She has
been a missionary in China for
14 years. She was home on vacation
in 1922. She is a sister of Mr.
Victor R. Johnson, candidate for
membership in the House of Repre
sentatives.

Dixie's Corn Yields
Rival Nation s Best
The Corn Belt, long famed for
its economical corn production, is
in danger of losing some of its . ;
laurels.
i
For instance, a Dixie farmer, i
W. Y. Thrash, of Walnut Grove,,
Miss., might well contest the honor I
of producing the highest yield of
corn during 1929. In an official
contest his average yield on a 3-
acre field was 150.52 bushels of
shelled corn an acre. In making
this exceptional record. Thrash
rnade liberal use of fertilizers.
He side-dressed twice with Chilean
nitrate of soda during the season, !
using 200 pounds an acre at each i
application.
A striking illustration in eco
nomic crop production was fur
nished by another southern grow
er, Paul Simmons. IS-year-old boy
of Plant City, Fla., who won the
4-H Club corn contest of that
state. He produced corn at a net
cost of kS cents a bushel. His yield
on a one-acre plot was 111 bushels.
The only fertilizer young Simmons
used was 200 pounds of Chilean
nitrate, which was applied as a
side-dressing when the corn was
knee-high.
Pioneer Fertilizer
Used for IGO Years
Four generations of American farm
ers have used commercial fertilizers
to improve their crop production. The
first of the inorganic fertilizers used
in this country was nitrate of soda.
now 7 widely known as Chilean nitrate.
This product occurs as a natural de
posit only in the barren rainless pla
teau of northern Chile. It was intro
duced into the United States in 1830.
at a time when only lime and marl of
the inorganic substances now used
for farm purposes w r ere known to the
pioneer farmers.
