Republicans Hold Meeting Candidates NfeetTParty Lead ers Friday—Plans for Ac tive Campaign Laid—Will Challenge Democrats to Joint Canvass. ® The Republicans of Chatham held . p e p meeting here Friday that * ally indicated a purpose to contest rlrio'u'ly with the Democrats for k Jf county offices. No public notice ’ S the meeting had been given and L editor of the Record thereby failed to hear all the talks. Each candidate had been called upon for before he came upon the : ne “Senator” Mendenhall was leaking when the writer entered court house auditorium, and he was speaking well. \Ve gathered from the closing remarks of his speech that the Democrats are to be taken to task severely for the burden of taxes in North Carolina and the selling of homes from over the heads of un- ; ortuna te families. Other straws in dicated that to be the way the wind is to blow. For instance, Fred paschal stated that he had heard both Democrats and Republicans say there is no way to reduce taxes, -ince so many of the charges were fixed, as that for instance and sink ing funds, schools, etc. But he was quite sure that it can be done. He cited the experience of Siler City, of which town he was mayor. The auditor had declared that a $2.38 tax rate would be neccessary for the past fiscal year, But the town council had cut the rate to $2.00 and is pulling through. He volun teered his service to speak in the campaign when called upon. On motion of Sheriff Jenkins, Mr. L. L. Wrenn, who is a candidate for commissioner, was made cam paign manager. He is to have the direction of the organization of the county and to plan for the bringing out of a full vote on election day. The candidates pledged themselves ta attend all speakings, unless . pro videntially hindered. There was no backwardness in the expression of a confidence that the party would win in November. It was manifested that they want a joint campaingn* an old-fashioned speaking tour, and it is the declared intention to challenge the Democrats to such a campaign. I’m pressed by the vigor of the expression of intention to make it warm for the Democrats this fall, the writer was interested in Wade Barber’s reaction to the big talk. He simply said he had hear them talk before. Clerk of Court Hatch when told that he would be chal lenged to a joint canvass said he had his answer already for the claim that a change is needed in Chatham County, and that is that we certainly do need a change—we need it like the Washington govern ment. But the sarcasm of the spoken words does not appear in the written, but all who have enjoyed “Hoover prosperity” and have noted the non efficiency of the Washington govern ment are not likely to take the words literally. The fellows had a good time and the Record man assured them that he would give them their share of publicity. Appointments . for speaking by the Republicans is as much news as Democratic appoint ments. peaches will soon BEGIN TO MOVE {Sanford * Express) Within the next week or two the Peach crop will begin to move in a large way. Much of the> crop will be. moved to the Northern markets in the way that the dewberry crop w as handled, by truck. It seems that the fruit is in better shape after being hauled to the market by truck than by rail. Large trucks carry about as much at a load as railroad refrigerator cars, There a good crop of peaches at the " ilkins orchard near Lemon Springs. During the height of the dew berry season trucks passed through Sanford carrying as high as 240 crates. This was as many crates could be put into a refrigerator car. These berries were put into New York quicker than they could ° e shipped to those cities by rail. ® ADMINISTRATOR’S NOTICE Having qualified as administrator 0 . the estate of P. M.

Mr. Henry of the Swepsonville j section and family were down Sun- ' day for a few moments on the . church yard and had lunch, after • which they were to view the old ‘ Thomas homestead on Terrell’s ( Creek, near the home of Mr. P. j E. Thomas. . Mr. G. G. Lutterloh says he went to Mr. Arlindo Johnson’s the . other day but is sorry he went, as the corn and the cotton over there on Hickory Mountain was so far advanced that his own ' looked small and late. j Sunday school precedes church services next Sunday. A good con gregation should hear Brother ' Dailey. ! An account of the big birthday ' also of the League social and a re- • port of the serious illness of Mrs. ' R. H. Lindley were sent in last ‘ week but did not appear in print. We fear Mrs. Lindley’s death will ! appear in this paper. (Ed. Note: The Brown’s Chapel letter on the fourth page of last’s week’s paper has virtually every 1 bit of the news sent in last week 1 by our correspondent. Another ! account of the birthidlay dinner was received, but the two were so nearly identical that we printed only the regular correspondent’s account, though we took the liberty to add the one item in the other that Brother Durham didn’t cover, namely, that the sons furnished lemonade.) Lille Ollie Cole of Winston spent some time here with relatives, Returning home last week ac companied by her grandmother, Mrs. Emma Dark. -—^ Sandy Creek Union Meeting Reorganized —s — being dormant for many years, the Sandy Creek union was reorganized at Hickory Mountain Baptist church last Saturday. Rev. R. H. Weaver gave it a good send-off by preaching the in troductory sermon, from the subject “Faith,” which was well handled ‘ and well received. X. 1 Following this sermon, ' Weaver was elected moderator and N. J. Dark secretary-treasurer. .The program prepared for the occasion was read and approved. Seventeen 1 churches were represented during the sessions. The Saturday afternoon program was greatly enjoyed by all present. ! Rev. J. C. Canipe ably discussed t “How to Secure and Maintain Pur- I ity of Church Life.” Rev. F. C. i Hawkins very interestingly talked » about “What Are the Pressing i Needs of the Sandy Creek Associa s tion.” And we were told, in vivid ; terms, by Rev. 0. A. Keller Why i Every Church Member Should and [ Can Be a Missionary.” This session s was a real treat. > Rev. J. L. Martin brought a t splendid message Sunday morning and caused many to take an inven ■ tory of their Christian living. In i the afternoon Sunday we had a > spledid round-table discussion and > experience meeting conducted by * the moderator. . > The next meeting will be at Cool l Springs church, the fifth Sunday, in . November. Programs will be print ed and distributed and it is hoped that many more churches will be represented. N. J.

C., CHATHAM COUNTY, THURSDAY, JULY 3, 1930. COUNTY CONVENTION IS A JOVIAL AFFAIR A Few Democrats Respond to Call for County Convention Saturday—Democratic Spirits Were High and the Occasion A Jolly One A county Democratic convention is® of little import, since the primary nominates the candidjates and the meeting is only held for the pur pose of choosing delegates to the state convention. Accordingly, only a corporal’s guard of the faithful from the various part of the county was present Saturday. However, the few here were truly representative, and came full of pep and ginger. Chairman Horton of the county executive committee called the' con vention to order and called Wade Barber to the chair. On motion, Mr. Barber was made premanent chair man and T. B. Riggsbee was choosen secretary. On motion a committee composed of Joe Mclver, J. B. Ingle, and W. H. Griffin was'appointed to nomin ate delegates to the state conven tion to be held July 3 at Raleigh. The county is entitled to twenty-two votes in that convention, but no limit was placed on the number of delegates to be choosen, since that convention, like that of the county, i; now mostly a formal affair, merely a talk-fest. While the committee was out Walter Siler made a brief speech, but a most effective one, marked by the uniqueness of the man. That one ten or 15 minute speech if heard by every voter in the county would finish the campaign here in the county. He reviewed the claims of the Republican two years ago as to the superman quality of their candidate, the proclamation from pulpit and stump of his dryness and of his ability to banish poverty, and then reviewed the achievements of the administration. He had heard of only one man in the country being benefitted by the Hoover election. A fellow out in Arkansas went into a hollow log during a big rain storm; the log swelled and he could n’t get out. Hopeless, he reviewed the sins of his life and finally thought of his vote for Hoover and it made him feel so little that he slipped right out of the log and went home. The veteran N. H. Heritage said that he remembered the assassina tion of Lincoln and had watched the administrations since and' that he actually felt that no man had during those years so utterly failed as pre sident as has Hoover. He hadn’t done a thing but appoint commis sions; whenever any matter came up for his attention he straightway appoints a commission. But Victor Johnson, in his talk, begged to cor- j rect Mr. Heritage. He had seen in the Literary Digest that Mr. Hoover had done one thing without appoint ing a commission—he had tossed the first ball at the opening of the baseball season. One speaker noted that there is an undertaker on the county ticket and' thought it appro priate, as it is time to bury the defunct Republican party here m the county. „ All the candidates present and a goodly' number of the others were called out for talks and all responded happily—sa many of them that we shall not name them. Captain Heri tage was the nestor of the speakers and Robert Gotten the youngest. He had never before attended* a county convention. He is a youth of promise, hailing from Buckhorn and labeled as future legislative timber by the Duke of that bailiwick, though it seems an incongruity for the former Simmons manager for the county to be the duke of any bailiwick. Yes; the Duke himself spoke and is as cheerful as if his candidate had not got beaten. In fact, the general feeling was aptly expressed by Harry Norwood, who said that individual choice had ended with the primary and that now it is a general pull of all for the party s success. If there is any soreness because of primary results there was no evidence of it, either among Sim mons supporters or in the defeated county candidates. Mr. Ingle from Albright and Mr. Craven from Merry Oaks, strong Republican precincts, indicated that the party has a fight before it; that the Repub licans are priming for a vigorous effort. Mr. Ingle thus spoke to prevent ever-confidence, as such a state of mind is dangerous. * After the various talks, all to the point and many of them witty at the expense of Republicans, but good natured, the committeemen from the various townships met and chose Wade Barber as chairman of the county executive committee to succeed W. P. Horton, who is the nominee for the senate. Follows a list of the delegates appointed to the state convention. Some of them may not even have (hear of their selection as the con vention came the day before the » Miss Mettie Eubanks Died Tuesday Noon v Miss Mettie Eubanks, sister of Mr. W. M. Eubanks, died at the home of Mr. Wm. Sturdivant Tues day afternoon and was buried at Mt. Pleasant church, Baldwin town ship, Wednesday afternoon, Pas tor Brown of Bynum conducting the funeral services. She was attended during hex ill ness largely by a brother who has hospital experience gained during his twenty-years meanderings in the earth and who happened to be in the home county. 2Up to three weeks ago Miss Eubanks had been at the James Norwood homestead, occupied by Mr. Dollar. This had been her home, she having long lived with Mr. Norwood. Probably a more extended ac count of her life will appear later. Time nad circumstances prevent a full account this time. A WORD TO THE WISE Poison for 801 l Weevil to Be Ef fective Must Be Begun at Once —Boll Weevil Infestation Wide spread Over Entire County. * * * Facing the heaviest boll weevil infestation ever known in this county, Chatham farmers must begin control measures for the boll weevil if they expect to make a cotton crop this year. The time for the pre square mop has in most sections of the county passed. It is time now either to begin to dusting or mopping ctftton for those weevils who .are killihg squares. Do not delay; it is safe to say that there is at least a fifteen percent infestation all over the country at least; poisoning should begin before a ten per cent infestation is reached. As to the merits of the dusting or mopping method, we will not attempt to say. Sufficient to say that one of these methods should be used, and continued through the year. If it is desired to mop, remember the I-I-I mixture (one pound of calcium arsenate, one gallon of water and one gallon of cheap mollases). For the dust | method, 3 to 4 pounds per acre per application is sufficient. If rain occurs either mopping or dusting within 24 hours, repeat the application. By continuing to poi son up to and through the time that the lower bolls are opening, we feel convinced that a satis factory crop of cotton can be made. * C. C. Hamlet, who went off with a crew selling Literary Digest sub scriptions, after helping work Char lotte, Greenville, and Atlanta, has returned. He uofnd that too many of the folk already had a maga zine. Lee Powell, who also went, is still in the game and has gone to Birmingham. ■ . ■ Mr. Geddie Fields, here Tuesday, says that he has shut down the Pilot theatre till times, got better. While he does not have much hope of saving for himself the f.ine building he erected here last he says that whoever gets it will wish to continue the moving picture. He has discontinued the show he had for colored people at Graham also. While the opera tion of the theatre at this time cannot be profitable, it concerns Pittsboro that the equipment be kept in the building for more favorable times. Record is published; but out of the whole number there will probably have beetl a fair attendance at Raleigh. Delegates. James L. Griffin, J. M. J. D. Mclver, O. J. Peterson, Dr. J. D.

Garner Lays Low Price To Tariff Washington, June 28—(UP) Unfavorable conditions in the cot ton market showed little sign of im provement, House Democratic Leader Garner, of Texas, said to day in a statement in which he at tributed cotton’s depressed price in part of the high rates of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Bill. Retalitory policies being adopted by foreign consumers against the new tariff have resulted in a steady decrease in foreign orders for American cotton, Garner said. In the first five months of 1922, cotton exports <leclined 20 per cent in anticipation of the new tariff, he added. Under normal con ditions American cotton exports constitute 50 per cent of the crop and the price has for years been governed* by the foreign mar ket, the Democratic leader ex plained. The tariff has virtually placed an embargo on manufactured products of foreign countires form erly exchanged or American cot ton, he said. - - —<o ■ *************** * * Bear Creek News * *• * *************** Mr. and Mrs. O.

Six’ young men left Saturday on a semi-camp ing tour, returned Tuesday, and were full of the story of . sight® seen. They are Raymond and Clye A vent, John Thomas, Marion Har mon, Johnnie Permenter, ‘-and Claiborne Harmon. They spent Sat urday . night in the woods beyond Suffolk, Va., spreading their blank ets on old mother earth. Sunday morning early they were in Nor folk, where they* visited the Avent boys’ aunt, Mrs. Allison, for a shout time. Sunday, we fear, didn’t af~ ford them much religious develop ment. They spent that night capp ing on the beach. » ■ 1 Monday they finished their sight seeing, including a visit to the U. S. S. Houston, one of the greatest cruisers afloat, and Monday night in the Norths Carolina woods agapx After a very cheap trip,, in which pork and beans, light bread, ; their own brew of coffee and their • own frying of eggs and bacon furnished the principal part of * the menu* they had the misfortune of bav ing their tin-lizzie go back on them at Oxford, where they had to leave it for repairs and hitch-hike their way home.- But it *is no wondei that the said tin-lizzie flunked on them, as they fed her on burnt oil throughout the journey. When they would buy gasoline they -begged toe used oil, carrying a two gallon: jug of it and liten-ally keeping her drenched with it. They patronized the hotels for face-washings and towels, which were thrown in free. “HERE COMES ARABELLA” PROVES TO BE GREAT HIT ; -,-/V . * If the people had known just how good the play being produced would have been a large crowd.®ut by home talent would proven t*e»e Tuesday evening despite hard times. It was simply \ fine, and the profusion of costumes, fumiahea by Wayne Sewell, of Atlanta,* undar whose auspieea as represented by Miss Buasel the play was presented, was astonishing. For instance, a dozen Tittle girls were dressed tor one scene in robin redbreast cos tumes. The dozen young ladies, or more, taking part, had frequent changes of costume. . ~ • It is surprising how Miss Bussel could train so many in so directions in the few days she been here. There were three W and each was full of action. It woul3 be invidious to cite any particular one as excelling, since all did so well, but the lead ing parts, taken by Miss Mary Deli Bynum and Mr. Lester Farrell, re quired much more work and it, their artisty had been no greater than that of others, to equal the i others in so extensive parts would , have been an achievement. But i Miss Bynum really starred as Ara ; bella, while Lester carried his role : exceedingly well. Roland. Glenn. I made a fine old man, looking the ; part and acting it. Misses Louise ■ Petty and Juanita Overacre played l the two old women successfuny. I But just note the cast as published l last week and say each one did well ; and you have it. In addition, there , were numerous chorus girls and the : tots whose names were not carried irin the cast. . The play, given for the benefit -of the Legion Auxiliary, hardly i proved a financial success, but was 5 the best thing the writer has seen * in Pittsboro in the way of drama, > the great pictures occasionally , shown being b'qired. It deserved greater patronage. I
