his return
evening tx-Governor Kitchen
was met at the station by a large
deligation of citizens of the town
and county. Mayor Winstead,
on behalf of the town and county,
delivered a short address of interested in
warmx welcome and expressed
the of the citizenship at having
at home. Governor
Kitchen replied feelingly and
heartily, but left a doubt in the
minds of his hearers about his
remaining here permaenently,
much as he would dke tostay. The
fact that this county gave him
its vote almost to a man is
sufficient evidence that Mr.
Kitchen is very close to the peo
ple. Mrs. Kitchen and family
had proceded the Governor
home several days ago and they
are equally popular and as heprti-
ly weicom.ed as he. It is earnes
tly hoped by everybody here
that they will make Roxboro
their home.

Marrying at the Mill.
(From The Sanford Express.)
The Moore County News says
that Carthage has an institution
which is a marriage producer in
the shape of a hosiery mill. The
Bismarck Hosiery Mill has been
doing business in Carthage three
years and during that time 21
young ladies among its employers
ha ve married. We need a hosiery
mill of this kind in Sanford.
While some of our young ladies
are marrying off, it looks like it
will take an enterprise of this
kind to keep others from living
the life of a spinster.

Tne demand for photo plays is practically unlimited.
The big film manufacturers are “moving heaven and earth”
in their attempts to get enough good plots to supply the
ever increasing demand. They are offering $100, and more,
for single scenarios, or written ideas.
Nearly all the big fiim companies, the buyers of photo
plays, are located in or near New York City. Being right on
the spot, and knowing at all times just what sort of plots are
wanted by the producers, ouf Sales Dep^tment has a trem
endous advantage over agencies s it iated in distant cities.
We haye received many letters from the big film man
