Any land in Chatham county is worth more than $4.50 an acre togrow timber on.) We are glad the Hanks Chapel quartet was with us the first Sun day, but sorry no more were out to hear them. We hope they will come at a more auspicious time. A big fishing frolic at Baldwin Mill and plenty to eat. A number of our peopl attended the funeral of Roy Caroll.

C., CHATHAM COUNTY, THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1930 801 l Weevil Control Work Hot, Dry Weather Will Help in Controlling 801 l Weevil Damage, But Damage is Still Going on Although doing damage to our promising corn crop, the recent hot, dry weather is a great help in keep ing down boll weevil infestation. However, farmers should not let up on the fight on the boll weevil. A large emergence of boll weevils in the late spring and early sum mer will make seasonal control difficult, unless the cotton is poisoned. If you have not begun poisoning, do so now. It is still not too late, and a few applications of dust within ,the next sixty days may mean the difference between crop failure and crop success. Some farmers who have been dusting are complaining of damage done by cotton lice. This is natural, as the dust kills all insects but the cotton louse, and thus he has a free hand to work undisturbed by any of his farmer enimies who have been killed by the dust. Dust has no effect on the cotton louse, but if farmers will apply 8 to/ 10 pounds per acre of superfine . sul phur, either alone, or mixed with the dust in the hand gun or row duster, the lice will be destroyed. This sulphur is relatively, inex pensive. N. C. Shiver County Agent $ Memorial Service for Mrs. London On Friday afternoon, July the eleventh, the Winnie Davis Chapter of the U. D.

In sorrow’s darkest hour, her memory is a benediction. Slowly, as her health and strength gave way, she yielded up her many labor. She had fought a brave and triumphant fight. Service« was the end and aim of her life, and she truly served her generation accord ing to the will of God, and we hope to prove our devotion to Mrs. London by continuing the glorious work which she accomplished.

Father, in Thy Gracious keeping, Leave we now, Thy servant sleeping. Mrs. W. B.

Hinton. a Citizen, Spare i ™ The Pheasants Twenty Pheasants Released in Chatham County This Week —Game Warden Hatcher Solicitous for Their Protec tion <» • It is not “Woodman, spare that tree,” this time, but men and boys, spare the pheasants which have been released in the county. Twenty of the beauties have been released this week in pairs in various sec tions of the county, and Mr. Robert Hatcher, game warden is ’ anxious that they shall be permitted to live and reproduce. Nrth Carolina in days gone by had a native pheasant. Fifty years ago one could hear the older men talking of the “drumming” of the big game birds. But the writer, who is sixty, never had' the privilege of hearing that drumming or seeing one of the birds. They were slaughtered. And if the native birds could thus become extinct under the fire of the old flint and steel gun, it is evident that it is im possible to expect to propagate a new population for the woods of the county unless the people absolutely refrain from shooting them. The first time a man sees one in the woods he will be tempted to shoot it. But if he does and that it to be the general procedure, Robert Hatcher would as well have killed and eaten the twenty while he had them in hand. In addition to the twenty re leased, several hundred eggs have been brought to the county for hatching purposes and the chicks will presumably be found in the woods late. Citizens, spare the pheasants. You who read this warn your neighbors, white and black. Os course, the pheasant is protect ed by law and the man who kills one may find himself in trouble.

D» B—it la Cf—l VOLUME 52—NNUMBER 37 Pellagra Now ; Preventable $ Dr. Chapin Warns Pub lic of the Insiduous Approach of Pellagra Milk and Fresh Meats Prevent or Cure “Pellagra,” says Dr. W. B. Chap in, “is a dietary disease, caused by the omission of certain ele ments of food known as vitamines. There are many vitamines, but the ones whose absence cause pellagra are found abundantly in sweet milk and fresh meats.” Continuing, Dr. Chapin says, “pellagra can be in yourself by sore mouth and tongue, the mouth and tongue having the appearance of having been scalded; or from eruptions on the back of the hands and forearms, and by similar eruptions sometimes on feet and legs, chest and back of neck. This eruption is at first like sun burn, later becoming bronzed and finally checkered and cracked like a turtle’s back. The patient will have frequent feelings of weakness, burning in stomach, also burning sometimes in hands and feet. If you have several of these symptoms, you should consult your local pl)y sician.” “Pellagra is not an infections or communicable disease. Accord ingly, you need have no fear of “catching” it from one who does have it. If you will drink as much as two glasses of sweet milk a day and eat fresh meats, such as chicken, fish, mutton, beef, or pork, three to four times a week, you cannot have pellagra. It is well to eat such quantities of fruits and vegetables as you desire. It is not what you eat that gives you pella gra, but what you fail to eat. Eat any kind of bread or anything else you please, provided you drink the milk, a glass a meal at least, and eat the fresh meats. If you recognize the disease in time and heed these directions, there is no reason why you should not get well and stay well. If you die of pellagra it is practically suicide, if what I have said is true. €> Two Cases in County Court Judge Bell held court Monday long enough to dispose of two cases, involving four defendants. Albert McNeill, colored, got 60 cHays on the roads for violent conr duct at the Ellis filling station at Corinth two or three weeks ago. The Ellis store and filling station has been burned since and suspicion is not wanting that McNeill set the building afire, though there is no evidence as yet upon which he can be prosecuted. Mr. Ellis handled him rather severly the day he was misbehaving and it is said that he afterward was heard to threaten that he would get even. A. B. Womble and Son Powers paid the costs in a liquor case and had prayer for judgment continued for two years on the condition of good behavior. It seems they staged a drunken spree at the home of Cal Raines, an old-timey darkey, who was also conditioned for two years. There was no thought that Cal fur nished the liquor. It seems that he has simply been allowing himself to be imposed upon by his white friends, who have taken his place to booze in. # <3 Letting Contracts for School Houses —♦ — Quite a number of strangers were here Tuesday for the open ing of bids by the board of educa tion for the erection of a school building at Siler City and for the addition of two rooms at Moncure. It is the purpose, we believe, to build an eight-room additional build ing at Siler City on the western sidle of the town, though there are those who think an addition to the old building, with less cost, would serve the purpose for the present. <*.— Mrs. Joe Wertz entertained quite a number Tuesday evening in honor of her visiting sister, Mrs. Steed. Mr. J. T. Griffin returned Tues day evening from Fayetteville where he had accompanied Mrs. Griffin to the bedside of her father, Mr. Culbreth, who is very ill. Mrs. Griffin is still with him.
