JAMES J On Tuesday morning October 16th. | just as the fcun was coming up from t behind the eastern hills the spirit ( of Geo. R. James took its eternal j flight to the world beyond. j Mr. James -ws born Feb. 1 , 1849, ^ making him .74 years and eight t months old. His wag a long and use- . ful life. He leaves behind to mourn his death a devoted wife and nine children, his children are as follows: 1 Misses Ida and Callie James, Mrs. Geo. C. Foushee, Mrs. L. E. Long, ' Mrs. D. S. BrdoksA W. G. James and I. L. James. nil of thio 1 C. Yi'.~ Federick of Greensboro and W- R. James of WinstoiW3alem. j He was a devoted husband and father, always looking well after welfare of his devoted wife and chit? dren, and to knpw him was to love J him. Although he lived a very quiet* life, it was a useful life, always rebdy to assist .friends and loved ones in arty way he possibly could. So often have we been to his borne and find him sitting in his corner by the fireside rertding. and deeply interested in his Bible, which at all times was kept near his chair. Its mighty hard for dear wife, sone, aftd daughters to give him up, how- i ever it comes to all alike, and aH of i us must pass through this trying ordeal, but the most comforting thought . is, that as the family decreases here it increases up yonder. j The funeral services were conducted the following day at the home by Rev. B. C. Thompson, rtjasasted by Revs. B. T. Hurley and W. 0. Sample, and he was laid away# in the ] Boxboro cemetery amidst a large host of friends and relatives. o??

There have recently appeared sev;ral articles in the Raleigh newspapers about the Dreyer tuberculosis taecine. No anouncement was made lrrectly from this laboratory and lone was intended, but our labora:ory is a public institution and we indeavor to answer all reasonable ' nquiries to the best of our ability. In reply to the questions of a reportir we made the simple statement ,hat the work was still in the experemntal stage and that as yet it had ' 10 news value. To our great surmise the reporter thought differently ind gave the interview a prominent place in the paper. The purpose of this letter is to re- ! iffirm the statement that no cure for uberculosis has yet been found. Any 1 scientific'' statement emanating frotn he Oxford University Medical School leserves attention and it may be that ;he Dreyer vaccine may eventually prove of value, bufc it will take a ong time to determine this point* Very respectfully yours, C. A. SHORE, Director, SJtate Laboratory af Hygiene. At request of Dr. W. T. Long C. H. O. OFF FOR CONFERENCE. The Methodist Conference will meqt in Elizabeth City this morning, and the Methodist ministers of this town are attending, namely: Rev. J. B. Hurley, pastor of the Edgar Long Memorial; Rev. B. C. Thompson, of Concord Circuit, and Rev. -B T. Hurley, of Brof>ksdale C5rcuit. None of these, save Rev. J. B. Hurley, have been on thehr charges the four years allotted and it is earnestly desired, and expected they will be returned to their present fields, but it i* lamentable that our good friend, Rev. J. B. Hurley's time has come for a change. We know we voice the fortl i no- A# tVia a?l!*n * '>*? ??J ? munity. when we say we part with him with real sorrow. He is a good man, a Godly man, and a strong preacher. He has done a (treat work here, and while his labors Were for only the short space of four years, his (rood work will lire long after his body haa ceased to be. We lowe Brother Hurley, and we hope the Biahop will be kind to him and locate him close by, so that we may see and hear him often. SUNDAY SERVICES AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

The members of the American Legion, Lester Blackweli Poat, gave a smoker to the members and some invited friend* on last Monday night It whs a delightful affair,' attended by the largest number of members who have been present at any time during the year. Speeches, smoking and general merry-making was the order, and every one present enjoyed '.he evening. Being a social affair no business was supposed to come before the meeting, but the suggestion wab made that it was time for the boys to begin thinking about that hut, the boys showed great enthusiasm over) the nroippT and a " ?? I pointed to see about securing a lot and proceeding at once to the erection of the hut. They propose to build a but out of native rock, secured here at home, and the boys present agreed that many of them could use their teams to haul in rock and sand, thereby lessening the cost of the hut. We do not believe the business men and other friends of these boys will allow them to do this all alone, but that a goodly sum can, and will, be raised right here in Roxboroefor this splendid purpose. In connection with the hut, they propose to maintain a rest room for the ladies ana children of the County when they come to town. A place where the mothers can leave their children when they come in on a shopping expedition, leave them with a competent person in chargfe ajid feel they win be cared for. At the proper time doubtless the boys will call on ' i, Ik STRUM?SCOGGINS. N' On last Sunday Mr. O. B. Strum and Miss Msttie Scogglns motored to South Boston, Va., and were married. Rev.

J... . f ' . lonri $1.5 Jovember 14th 1923 PUBLIC ADVISED TO SEE " GRIFFITH PICTURE EARLY. The local engagement of D. W. Griffith's wander spectacle "Way Down East" which comes to the PIINOHSS THEATRE for a stay of two days beginning Nov. 22-23, night is expected to be one of the greatest successes this city has ever seen. It may seem a little unusual but this paper knows enough in advance tbout' "Way Dowfn East" to advise that you all lovers of the best in motion pictures sec this production at the earliest opportunity because the record of "Way Down East" in every city where it has played is that it has done "turn-away" box office business. , From all reliable sources of information it is manifest that Griffith has outdone "himself in "Way Down r-ast." He has taken a simple story of a phase of New England life that is all but too swiftly passing faom view and employed its plain people with their quaint characters and their rugged sense of the honest and the human and unfolded a series of adI ventures and restraints which ' Hamline the ever troubled path of love. As ' Mr. Griffith himself likes to put it I "Way Down East" is a tale of love and lovers in a frame of such exquisite charm and pastoral beauty the most captious of critics have said many of its scenes are worthy to hang in the best art galleries of tfce world. Rising up from its charm and its humors in colorful contrast it rushes to a climax in the powerful ice jam and the breaking up of the floe on the river which combines every element of stirring drama and becomes at once the most astounding and remarkable scene ever seen within" a playhouse in all times. Remember the dates Nov. 22-23rd. Matinee each day at. 3:00 P. M. Evenings each day at 7:15-9:16 P. M. Admissions '25c and 50c.
