TO ALL THE PEOPLE OF CHAT
HAM COUNTY.
Plain Statement of Facts as Made
by Republicans.

A very strange state of affairs ex-
lists in this county, at present, and
we want your attention for a little
while, to make full, fair and plain
statement of facts Honest Democrats
want facts as much as honest Repub-
licans, and, as to county affairs, one
party is as much entitled to facts as
the other So here goes:
ID Two years ago, Mr.. r. H
Hayes in his speeches all around this
county, in his canvass for member
of the House of Representatives
proved, to his own satisfaction, al
least, that Chatham County was in
debt only about $4,000. Since that
time he has sold bonds amounting
to 100000, and still there are I'm.
paid orders outstanding amounting
to more than $4,000, making $751;
600, plus $4,000 for bridges con-
structed, making $4,000, and if we
added the interest on the bonds
which will have to be paid, a grand
total of amount $4,000 appears as
the Indebtedness of the county. Mr..
Hayes says, ooh the bridges had to
be paid for" And so they did, but
Chatham's part paid on them
amounted to only $4,000 in round
numbers.
Now, Mr.. Voter, what do you sup
pose went with the other money?
Only $4,000 county debt two
years ago, and $4,000 spent for
bridges within the last two years,
make $4,000, but we know now that
we owe $4,000 on bonds and s6,-
900 on outstanding county orders,
making $4,000
Mr.. Hayes is the county attorney
and is in a position to know, yet he
has not opened his mouth to inform
hte people where this $4,000 has
gone 1t looks as if he is not going
to open his mouth and tell the peo-
pie where it went.
Sheriff jenkins found that ex-
Sheriff Milliken is short in his ac-
counts with the county more than
$2,500. Milliken came out in a de-
NAL that he is short in his accounts
but said that if all expert would go
through his books and find that he
is short he will make it good to the
county. Well, Mr.. J. Leslie Abbott,
an expert accountant, Democrat,
from Greensboro, came and examin-
ed Milliken's books and found that
Jenkins was correct to cent, in his
charges, and also found, as Mr.. Dor
sett had all along charged. that he
was due about $500 more than Sher-
III Jenkins had charged, on another

If we look into the statistics os

great poverty prevailing in Great
Britain. New York State and Mas

United Kingdom in this. that they
are densely populated industrial
States. If We look into the savings

there are no less than $500 per heaC

Massachusetts savings banks contain
mainly small savings. They hold il

"SHOWERS" PROMISED
The Weather Bureau Hopeful That
Dr0uth Nav Be Broken Interest.
ing Investigation Of Rainfall

This mornings weather dispatch to
the Capital gives more hopeful signs
of rain. "Showers" are predicted
for tonight or tomorrow, and cooler
temperature. 1t appears that a gen.
eral "disturbance" has been in pro-
gress west of the Mississippi Valley
as far as the Rocky Mountains and
considerable rain has fallen. The
general bulletin says: "The West
ern disturbance will move eastward.
accompanied by rains in the Central
Valleys and corn belt Friday, reach
ing the Middle Atlantic and North
Atlantic states during Saturday and
followed by colder weather. "
Prof. William II. Alexander, in
charge of the Baltimore weather
office, has made an interesting inves-
tigation of rain conditions in Septem-
Der since 1871. He found that from
the 22d of the month there were only
twelve times in that period when the
fall was an inch or more. This hap
pened in only nine years.
The mean fall for September is .S5
inches. So far only 2.13 inches
have fallen. Most of this came or
September /, when there was pre-.
cpitation of LIS inches.
Professor Alexander said if the
time of the rainfall should cover 6
| period of twenty-four hours it woulC
have a chance to soak in the soil, bu
if it fell within few minutes i
would probably run off quickly in the
streams and be of little help.
Provided the rain falls slowly,
estimate, said he, THAT only one
fourth of the amount would run off
The amount in gallons over the TWEEN
ty-five square miles from an incl
| fall would be 434, AGA, 600. Thi
would serve for considerable tim
to meet the demand and enable tn
company to fill its reservoirs.

mo and was witnessed by hundreds
ling the route, which was from
CIay street to West, to Church Circle,
n College avenue, to King George,
IN Holland street, to Market Square,
Ia Main street, to Church Circle, to
West street and back to the grounds.
The beautiful horses in the parade
attracted everybody's attention. and
n made a credtable showing in its
entirety Especial credit is due the
hand The Robbins circus carries
one Of the best bands on the road.
This afternoon a performance will be
given on the old circus lot back of
Gqrlners lumber yard, near Clay
street
Countrymen for miles around are
here to see the circus, and grandpa
with little Willie will be there in
large numbers, not to speak of grand
ma and Uncle John, who always go
to take the kids, not because they
want TO see the circus themselves.
Robbins circus carries many features
that are especial attractions, not the
least of which is the great La Belle
Clarke and her dancing horse, Duke,
which is well worth seeing. Added
TO this is the Orton family, who do
everything in the circus line, and
have the unique distinction of being
the only people who play under an
alllinen tent. Their tight-wire act,
and trapeze work is alone well worth
the price Of admission.
Professor Holland has eight i'm
ported German stations which do a
beautiful act. Miss Horton in her
flying perch act, is a wonder and the
CASTILLO Family.iu their triple carry
ing act and horizontal bar work, have
all circus records beaten TO a frazzle.

A SURPRISE PARTY
Monthly Social AT ST. Martins Church
A Social That's Different
pleases

The monthly social of st. Martins
Ladies' Aid Society was unusually
we'll attended last night. The Sunday
school hall, where the gathering took
place, was most fittirgly decorated,
and the tempting dainties on the
table gave evidence of the skillful
hostess, Mrs. NJ. M. Smith.
No wonder that the pastor, Rev.
f. II. Klemme, could not hide his sur
prise when he entered the hall and
noticed not only the unusually nice
spread, and neatly decorated room,
but above all the great number of
parishioners present. 1t surely was
to be "a social that's different. y
And such it was, viz: A surprise
party in honor of the pastor and wife.
1t was given jointly by the Ladies'
Aid Society and the Helpers League.
The surprise, however, reached its
highest pitch when Mrs. Smith, with
appropriate words, presented an en-
velope to the pastor in behalf of the
two above named societies. Rev.
Klemme followed with a response,
in which he voiced his heartfelt CRATE
fulness for all appreciation shown.
Mr. Herman Holden, assisted by the
League members, rendered cheering
musical numbers, and all were happy
that they had succeeded in pleasantly
surprising their pastor and his wife,

WORST DR0UTH IN 40 YEARS
Maryland Weather Man Saws Rains
Since June Have Done Little.

Prof. William H. Alexander, section
director of the Weather Bureau, in
which the Annapolis section is in
cluded, said the other day he believed
the present drouth is the most serious
and protracted Maryland has exper-
fenced in the last forty years, in spite
of the fact that occasional rains have
/ fallen.
This drouth has lasted from the
middle of June, says Professor Alex
ander, and what rains have fallen
have been of such a character that
they did little good. The heavy show
er of September i, when more than
an inch and half of rain fell in
thirty-five minutes, did practically
nothing to relieve the water scarcity,
as the storm was entirely local and
fell so rapidly that the ground had
little opportunity to absorb it.
All of the precipitation in June
was in the early part of the month,
the total having been $50 inches.
After about the middle of the month,
however, there was practically no
rainfall, and this period Professor
Alexander looks upon as the begin
ming of the drouth. July was an ex-
ceptionally dry month, the total pre-
cipitation having been .95 of an
inch. August was also dryer than
usual, only 1.37 inches having fall
en-. This precipitation was scattered
throughout both months, and at no
time, said Mr.. Alexander. was the
rainfall so marked that it did any
good.
The rainfall so far for September
has been 2.1S inches, the shower on
the first day of the month contribut-
ing the larger part of the water to
this record. The drouth is being
severely felt in Western and Southern
Maryland, Mr.. Alexander said, the
cooperative observers of the Wealth
er Bureau reporting that the water
scarcity throughout those sections
of the State has assumed alarming
proportions. On the other hand, the
Eastern Shore and Delaware have
had an abundance of rain, which came
at times when it was often unwel-
come.
Speaking of the theory in which
Water Engineer Quick believes, that
this drouth is of the sort that occurs
every eleven years, Professor Alex
ander said:
'It is belief that these dry periods
occur in cycles and that the sunspots,
which are noticed every eleven years,
have something to do with it. This
theory, however, is too vague to base
predictions upon it. Professor Bige-
low, one of the Weather Bureau
meteorologist is, and Sir Norman Lock
yer, the English astronomer and
meteroloigst, believe that the occur
renee of the spots on the sun affect
the weather. Edward Bruckner, a
German meteologist, declares that
the fluctuation in the quantity of rain.
fall occurs about every thirty-fve
years.
The fact to determine is whether
or not this is a sunspot year. In
1899, eleven years ago, there was
no protracted drouth, the report of
the Maryland Weather Service show
ing that the longest was of twenty
days duration in October, when .13
of an inch fall. In 1888 there was
fifteen days drouth in May, with
precipitation of .O5, and twenty
days of dry weather in June, only
% failing"

"CHUCK CONNORS" KICKS

At the time, "the people, as
Chuck calls them, were warned if

THE BIG CROWD BACK
Husky Veterans OF Last Year Struggles
Appear In Football Toys AT The
Naval Academy

With over fifty candidates for the
team on the gridiron, all in football
togs, Worden Field at the Naval
Academy assumed a business-like
appearance yesterday afternoon, when
the coaches started their work in
preparation for the big inter-service
struggle at Franklin Field, Philadel-
phia, over two months from now.
All of the vets of last years strug-
giles were there, and the coaches put
them back to the rudimentay stunts
which will be necessary to drill into
them along with the plebe candidates
the changes required by the new rules.
The work consisted for the most
part of practicing starts, receiving
kicks and getting away long forward
passes. Indeed from the attention
which has been devoted to this part of
the game by Field Coach Wheaton
and the other teachers, it would seem
that real open play with variations of
the forward pass are to play import
ant parts in the style of game during
the coming weeks of the season.
Wheaton took charge of the candi-
dates for line positions, among whom
were Elmer, the big husky who
played back of the line most of last
year, but who will be tried out as
running mate for Cobb at end. Lee
Carey. the Maryland lad, has been
taken from the line squad and is
being tried for a backfield job.
Several sets of backs are tried to-
gether in starting and getting down
the field and around staked ends
and after this work there was some
signal drill in which what might
be called the first team with Red
Erwin at the pivotal position, was
watched with interest.
This bunch was composed of the
following veterans of last year:
Cobb and Hamilton, ends; Loftin and
King, tackles; Wakeman and Wright,
guards Weems, center; Dalton and
Clay, halves, and Austin, full.
