He accompanied Mr. Obie Har mon of Chapel Hill to the Sana torium and on returning after night fall, the car had to veer to avoid some girls walking in the road and when it was straightening out into the road again it hit the un lighted car parked on the side of the highway, turning over. Mr. Glenn was the more seriously hurt, being cut in several places about the head and face and other wise bruised up. Mr. Harmon had his shoulders slightly hurt. The former was taken to the hospital, where a dozen stitches patched up the cuts. A phone message told the story to Mr. Glenn’s widowed moth er. She and Miss Gordie Harmon, a sister of Mr. Harmon, went down Monday morning. Mr. Harmon had returned on the bus. Mr. Glenn will be in the hospi tal several days. However, it is gratifying to know that his injur ies are not deemed serious or of a permanent character. $ * * Bear Creek News * * *************** Rev. L. M. Chaffin, who has serv ed the Goldston circuit for Jthe past four years, has gone to the Mag nolia circuit, in the Wilmington district. Rev. Chaffin was the first pastor to serve four years, since J. C. Humble, who served this dis trict in 1901-04. He joined the North Carolina Conference at Fay etteville in 1887, when Bishop J. S. Key presided. Mr. Chaffin has many friends who will regret to see him leave. Rev. M. D. McLamb, of the Mag nolia circuit, has been assigned to the Goldston circuit. Rev. Mr. Mc- Lamb joined the N. C. conference in 1923 at Elizabeth City and was ordained as an elder in 1927. » He served his four year period at the Magnolia circuit. Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Coggins and family of Hallison were Sunday vis itors at W. A. Coggins. T. B. Beal attended the North Carolina conference at Henderson Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Mon day. The 1931 conference goes to Jar Vis Memorial at Greenville. Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Poe and son, Russell, attended the old fiddlers’ convention at Liberty Saturday night. W. A. Coggins is on the sick last. Has something like kidney colic. THREE NEW PREACHERS FOR CHATHAM CHARGES <§> Bishop, Mouzon, probably mind ful of the difficult times, made comparatively few changes among the Methodist ministers of the N. C. Conference. On’v 71 relocations were made, but three of them hap pened to be in Chatham county. Mr. Chaffin goes from Goldston circuit to Magnolia, and M. D. McLamb comes to Goldston; A. E. Brown goes from the Haw River circuit to Robersonville, and L. A. Tilley comes to Haw River (Bynum) ; Rufus Brad ley goes from Siler City to La- Grange. and F. B. Peele comes to Siler City. The Record regrets the going of the former pastors but we’comes the new. Others in whom readers of the Record are interested from nativity or recent service in this county, are: G. W. Perry to the first church to Elizabeth City; Rev. C. M. Lance to Swan Quarters; E. C. Durham, another Chathamite, to Clinton; O. I» Hinson to the Cal vary church, Durham; J. A. Dailey back to Pittsboro, the only former one to return. PIITSBOPO PASTOR RETURNS To My Churches and Friends: As your humble servant in the Lord and a friend of his fellowman, I am happy to have been returned to the Pittsboro circuit to begin the pastorate of the third year in your midst. The past years we have journeyed together, to be sure, were beset with many difficulties, mingled with 'the joy of service, but let us look to the future hopefully and long that we may be of greater service to one another and in the causes that be dead to us all alike. Thus I bespeak your cordial con cern, as I likewise shall endeavor to share your burdens. Now, hav ing come to know each other bet ter, we should covet the best gifts with which to serve, in the noblest wav possible, our common humanity. J.

Atwater who died a few weeks ago unexpectedly in Vir ginia while on a visit, died at a Winston-Salem hospital, after a long period of ill-health, last Thursday. The burial was at Mt. Pleasant Methodist church, Baldwin township, Friday. Dr. S. B. Turrentine, presi dent of Greensboro College, and a long-time friend, assisted in the funeral services. Mr. Atwater spent part of his active life in Winston-Salem. In recent years he has lived at the old home place in Chatham, but for several years has been incapacitated for work of any kind. He was a good citizen and a man of much dependability in his prime. He leaves a widow, two sons and a daughter. Mr. Atwater was 72 years of age. <£ JEFFERSON DAVIS HIGHWAY DINNER A notable feature of the recent general convention of the U. D. C. at Asheville was the Jefferson Dav is Highway Dinner, which was held chiefly under the auspice of Mrs. John H. Anderson, and at which there were 300 diners. A jtable 33 feet long in the hall carried a model of the highway, i showing all the towns through which it passes, iilso the ten-mile markers, and various beautifications by plant ing of trees or shrubbery. As the visitors passed along b' r the mina ture highway souvenirs were offer ed from each town. Mrs. Anderson also recited the most interesting bits of history of the various sections through which the highway wends. The dinner was proclaimed as a very successful feature of the great convention. <g> A Generous Contribution We are beginning to receive con tributions for the help of the suf fering and starving children in China and we wish to thank each and every contributor. We appreci ate their contributions whether they are large or small; and we feel that our people could not contri bute to a more deserving cause. There is one contribution, however, which we wish to make special men tion of since it represents a gift of love and self-denial similar to the widow’s mite which Christ so highly commended in the Bible; and which has inspired me and which I feel wi 1 inspire every good citizen of our County to contribute to this most worthy and urgent cause as liberally as he is able. It is a gift of. fifty cents by an old -lady of eighty seven years who is an inmate of our County Home, but who is there not because she squandered or wasted her time or her means, but because she spent her active days as- a teacher in the eshool room training the youth of our state when teaching was not a profitable oc cupation but one of love and sac rifice.

A REMINDER TO HUNTERS —«> — Editor Record: We all understand that in addi tion to license hunters must have permits from landowners for each day of hunting on another’s land. No land owner cherishes the idea of others’ shooting birds or any thing else on land without his consent,, and every hunter should bear this in mind and show enough respect for himse'f and the land owner to avoid this offense. There are few landowners who will not give consent for a rea sonable amount of hunting on their lands if properly approached. Game wardens should look after these points as well as the matter of li cense. It is their duty. Respectfully, L. C. JOHNSON. Bynum, Nov. 18. i Pou Gets a Record Majority! n Fourth —<s> —' (News and Observer) Congressman Edward W.

Dr. Thrailkill had practice denti stry for quite a number of years at Royston, Ga., and a few weeks ago came home sick, but it was not generally known that his ill ness was serious. He had been to Pittsboro once -or twice since his return.

The funeral was held at Eben nezer Methodist church Sunday af ternoon, the services being con ducted by Pastor A. E. Brown of that church, assisted* by Rev. R. R. Gordon of Pittsboro, and Rev. Mr. Mills, pastor of Bell’s Baptist church. Dr. Thrailkill was a fine young man, and many friends here and n Georgia lament his untimely death. He had never married. He leaves four brothers and three sisters, namely, Messrs. Bun, Trudie, Frank, and N. J. Thrai kill, Miss Alpha Thrailkill, and Mes dames R. W. Seymour and M. L.

F. D. Rentas in Great jfcpHE el TVrtfciM VOLUME 52—NUMBER - ■ ■ ! ———■■— Superior Courts Settle 15,732 Cases 1929-30 Raleigh, Nov. 24. —Superior Courts in the 100 North Carolina counties disposed of 16,810 criminal cases during the fall term of 1928 and and the spring term of 1929 and 15,732 cases during -the fall term of 1929 and the spring term of 1930, according to the biennial report just issued by Attorney General D. G. Brummitt, whose office is required to consolidate this criminal informa tion. The report of 1928-29 shows that of the 16,810 cases dispossed of, 10,422 were of whites, 6,321 ne groes, 65 Indians and two corpora tions, and that 15,848 were males and 960 females. Os the total, 11,- 946 were convicted, 1,888 acquitte, 2,883 nolle prossed and 93 other wise disposed of. The 1929-30 re port shows that of the 15,732 cases, 9,770 were whites, 5,904 negroes, 56 Indians and two corporations, and that 14,794 were ma’es and 936 fe males. Os the total, 10,948 were convicted, 1,980 were acquitted, 2,- 733 nolle prossed and 71 other wise disposed of. North Carolina’s departments and institutions and agencies, with few exceptions, are asking for main tenance appropriations in excess of those , given by the 1929 General Assembly for the next biennium in their appearances before the Advis ory Budget Commission which ended its hearings, lasting a week, an Mon day of this week. This commission goes over and pares down the re quests and recommends appropria tions to the next General Assembly. Its recommendations will have “eco nomy” as the key word, to meet the reduced revenues due to the business depression. The 28 State institutions are ask ing for about $6,000,000 for per manent improvements, as compared with more than $11,000,000 asked and less than two million granted in 1929. The commission may hpld its figures to $500,000. Complete figures on the State offices in the recent election, gather ed by R. C. Maxwell, secretary of the State Board of elections, com pletes but not official, show that for United States Senate, Josiah W. Bailey received 323,824 votes and Geoi’ge M. Pritchard 209,990 votes, Bailey’s majority, 113,834; for State Treasurer, Nathan O’Berry, 330.833, and L G. Greer, 195,592. O’Berry majority, 135,241,; for Corporation Commissioners, full term, George P. Pe l, 331, 296, and J. T. Prevett, 195,382, Pell’s majority, 135,914; for unexpired term Staley Winborne, 330,377, and B. C. Campbell, 195, 430, Winborne’s majority, 134,947. Mr. Bailey’s vote ran about 7,000 behind that of others on the Demo cratic ticket, and Mr. Pritchard’s nearly 14,000 ahead of the others on the Republican ticket, resulting in Mr. Bailey’s majority running be hind the rest of the State ticket 21,000 or 22,000 votes. The referendum authorizing the General .Assembly to issue a second two million dollars in bonds as a 'fund to lend to World War Veterans *for purchase of homes was carried by a good majority, while the three amendments to the constitution were 7 ost, although complete returns are not yet in. Governor Gardner has declined to call an extraordinary session of the General Assembly in December, as requested in a petition presented by the N. C. Tax Relief Association, on the ground that it would in terfere with preparations for the regular session in January and would result in two sessions, with out adequate, organized prepara tion for either. “I have reached the conclusion that it would not be wise nor in the interest of the public welfare to call the General As sembly into extraordinary session in December, and therefore cannot comp’y with the request made in the petition,” Governor Gardner stated. Fai'ure of the Central Bank and Trust Co., Ashevi le, a $31,000,- 000 institution, last week and the sympathetic failures of several other smaller banks in Asheville, Bilt more, Hendersonville, Waynesville and other places, is not a reflection of conditions in general in the State, but as an aftermath of the boom conditions, inflation of real estate values and high financing car ried on some three years ago by high-ptessure operators after the Flordia boom, is the belief of John Mitchell, chief State bank examiner. Mr. Mitchell warnes against hys teria on the part of the people of the State, a condition which often results in a “run” that few banks can withstand. Announce ment of the Wachovia Bank and Trust Co. that a million or more dollars was available and that it would pay all depositors who sought to withdraw is believed to have helped allay fears in Asheville and vicinity. State Republican headquarters spent almost $2,000 more than did Democratic headquarters in the re . cent campaign, according to state- I ments filed with the Secretary of jState. i Democratic Chairman O. M. Mull reported that his headquarters spent in operation and in funds to county , organizations a total of $15,812.83 and that he has a balance of SBO.
