I 5 V 1 4 I "V V It 1 l 1 1 1 1 fliSIL&iw WEDNESDAY, Dec. 13th, 1911. ISAACS. LONDON, - - Editor 'TltE white population of Chat ham county is 14,958; the colored Is 7,668; and the total is 22,635. The white population tor iyuu was 15,573; colored 8,339; total 23,912. This shows a loss since 1900 of 615 white and 671 color ed, but this is accounted for by the fact that the formation of the new county of Lee cut off a good slice of Chatham. The total population of North Carolina in 1910 as to color was divided as follows: White, 1,500. 513: negro, 597,843; all other per sons (Indians, Chinese and Jap anese) 7,931, The figures for 1900 were: White, 1,263,503; neg ro, 624,469; all others, 5.738. For 1890 they were: White, 1,055,382; negro, 561.018; all others, 1,549. The negro popu lation constituted 31.6 per cent of the total population of the State in 1910, as against S3 per cent in 1900 and 347 per cent in 1890. appropriate words and great feel ing.

Under the editorship of Josephus Daniels, it stands today a paper feared by its enemies and loved by its friends. It has no half-way ground. And though strictly a partizan paper, it still is ever found on the side of mor ality fighting without let for the cause of progress, both mater ially and morally. 'The friends it has, and their adoption tried, are bound to it with hoops of steel.' We wish for it continued prosperity. Christmas Goods Display! We furnish your eyery need: The Census Bureau's cotton report issued Friday shows that Georgia, North Carolina and Sou th Carolina have ginned thus far this year more cotton than ever before was grown within their borders.

Editor Grit:- Sunday nisrht. Dec. 3rd. "One day nearer Heaven". Bro. Kmnaman. Henry and my self left Bonlee this morning at at 11 we landed at Tv sons' Creek where a large crowd had gathered to hold a Thanksgiving service. Soon after arriving we had hold of the hand of Bro. L. Moon the hearty handshake, the irentle look of the eyes, and a few pleasant words caused us at once to feel free and glad to be with them. We had the pleasure of shaking the band of many warm friends while there. Western Chatham was at one time called "the dark corner', but find her wide awake and work ing for the Master. Truly I be- leve the best people on eartn are there; they are on to their job and know no such word as fail. learned that they had not prac ticed for the occasion, but the exercises were simply gran a. Am glad that my life has been spared to be with them this day. I feel that many who were there are tonight 'one day nearer Hea ven, and with Bro. Moon to lead them and that body of Christian people to follow, God being their helper, lost souls will De saved. I am proud of Bro. Moon; may God lead him. After services we drove over to Sister Lydia McManus' for dinner. We never enjoyed a din ner more. Truly she is one of the greatest women on earth, She has been a widow for 20 years ; was left a poor widow with 5 sons and 2 daughters, the oldest son being only 17. Three of them are now graduates and men , of influence, one a preacher, one a doctor and one a dentist. The en tire family are Christians, church workers and leaders in mission ary societies. Not only this, but she raised another orphan boy who died at the age of 21; and that snot all, she has another orphan child in her home now 11 years old. This is one of the brightest little girls I ever saw, and her recitation at the Thanks giving service today was next thing to an angel. Truly God loves the widows and orphans. And that's not all. She has built a large country home and barn, ana the farm looks prosperous. And here I wish to say a word for her son, Lonnie; he is still single and has stood by his v id- owed mother all these years, God bless him, and I know He will. We went from here to Hickory Grove, where we found Rev. L. P. Soots preaching to a house and a nan full of people. Here we found as much genuine heartfelt religion as in any place we have ever visited. We were with them last fall in a revival meeting there in the Jr. lodge, and have never witnessed a sweeter meet ing. 14 souls saved, 9 baptized, ana uoa s people revived, and He is still leading them. I learn tooay that they will organize a Baptist church there the 3rd Sunday with about 30 members. They are a poor people, need your assistance; also your pray ers. Help them, please; they are a decided people and worthy. Very truly yours, Isaac H. Dunlap. Our splendid line of Holiday Goods is now open for inspection. Call upon us early and make your selections.

Editor Grit:- Thursday (Thanksgiving day) was red letter day in the history of Hope Methodist Protestant church. A large congregation gathered there and beginning at ten o'clock was held one of the very best Thanksgiving services ever held at Bonlee. It was one of the occasions where the Spirit of God is manifest on every side. At ten p.m. services were opened with songs, and prayer by var ious ones. Next was an an nouncement of the occasion by that genial and consecraeed Christian gentleman, Mr. I. H. Dunlap. Following- this were several recitations by the child ren of the Sabbath school, which were by far the grandest the writer has ever had the privilege ot listening to. The children were at their best and made a lasting impression on the large audience. Truly the Spirit ' of trod was in their souls and many were the eyes that werebedimm ed with tears at the conclusion of their recitations and songs. A pleasing feature of the exer- cises was the presenting of a Testament to each child who parbcipated m the exercises by U h. Kmnaman. Superinten .iSth school. "r m t EPnce was made by Mr. I. H.
