I THE AME%I?AN RRESSASSOCIATION 1
Roxboro, N. C., Jane 11th 1924
A REMINDER.
In another column will be found an
article beaded "A Reminder," from
Mr. Sam P. Jones. He is calling upon
the American Legion boys to erect a
monument or memorial to the boys
who made the supreme sacrifice. We
heartily agree with Mr. Jones, but
there are many ways whereby a
memorial may be erected. Too many
get the idea that the oniy way to erect
a memorial la to erect a monument.
This is an error," and we are strong-!
tj of the opinion that too much mon"
ey is wasted in monuments which
right be put to some useful purpose
and at the same time be just as truly
a memorial. The Legion boys are
making an effort to erect here a building
which is to be a memorial to all
of the boys who failed to return, and
in this we are in hearty sympathy.
The building will be of material worth
to the living and will be just as much
ij- a memorial as if that amount of money
had been invested in a monument
> reaching up towards the skies.
The building will probably be called
the Lester Blackwell building and
win have a tablet in a . pr9mineht
place giving the name of every soldier
boy who made that supreme sacrifice,
and why will that not be truly a
memorial to the hoys whom we all
love to honor. Yes, we agree with
Mr. Jones and sincerely hope tho
Legion will go ahffad* and push to
completion this work they are now
; - engaged in.
THE PRIMARY.
IFor weeks the. two candidates for
rthe nomination of Governor .have been
speaking to the citizens of the State,
going into almost every county m the
State, though neither of the candidates
visited this county. While the
fight was good natured in this County,
both sides left no stone unturned
which might help his candidate. The
lawyers of the town lined up almost
olid for McLean, but the vote in the
town was close, only a difference of
about twenty two in favor of McLean.
In the country districts the farmers
voted for Bailey, two of the precincts
fairing him every vote cast. This was
not unexpected, as Bailey promised
KV'. t
relief from the unjust taxes they
arc now paying on lands, while McLean
made no promises.
Of course, the nomination' is equii
Talent to an election, and the program
as outlined will probably be
carried out in the incoming administration.
There is little prospect of
any reduction in taxes, and little hope
for an increase in funds for the country
schools. The time will come when
every child shall have an equal chance,
hut that time has not arrived and it
is silly to try to fool yourself in the
matter.
HH&'jSv "l ift . "
Dr. B. A. Thaxton is young in the
political game but judging bv the
? vote for Bailey in this County he is
from* to have to be reckoned with in
?r' fa tore elections. He was chnirmnr,
^?f the Bailey campaign and was on
hfei job.

A CALL TO PATRIOTISM.
Mr. Ai.'red fL Stearns, Principal of
~ Pbiflipl) Academy, Ar.dover, Mass.,
in the course of a letter to the editor
of .this paper, says:
g*i". "1 rmmul In'lp fvadhnrUiui. in >uiiiB
,'r. hiofc-minded and patriotic Ameri;an
mrmmmmrnmmm.
citizens today to fight for their conn- j t
try, is a greater and more serious one i
even than that which we heard dnr- 1
ing the War." I
This -view expressed by one of the
leading educators of the country is
unquestionably true. There is a call
to patriotism today greater than was j
the call to patriotism during the War. ,
When President Wilson called the j
nation to arms on the specific state
ment that Germany was making war ,
upon us, he stirred the patriotism of ,
the whole country; but the dangers j
then were not so great as are the
dangers of today. Then the danger j
was from an outside enemy. Today ;
the danger is from enemies at home. ,
These enemies are the men and wo- >
men who are viotiating the laws of }
the land, and thus doing their utmost (
to pull down the American flag and ,
trample it in the mire, and the radical
elements in and out of Congress ;
who by their teachings are destroy- "
ing conqdence in our Constitution. (
Radical politicians, weak-minded par- ,
Ior-Bolshevists, male and female,
"long-haired men and short-haired ,
women" as they have been called, and
radical labor leaders, are combining .
under a flag of destruction to our
Government.
Any man who attempted the physi- .
cal act of hauling down and tramp- (
ling the American flag during the (
War would have been regarded as fit
vuijr iui lire in uig aquau. uui iuubj |
men of high degree and men of low ,
degree, men of wealth and men of (
poverty, men of education and "men
without education, are hauling dc.va']
the American flag and trampling it |
beneath their feet, in effect spitting
upon it as a thing of contempt. They .
are de%pising the thing for which the .
American flag stands, viz. obedience .
to law, and the high and holy purpose
to recognize that Old Glory !
stands for patriotism and not for the
breaking of every law which is con- |
trary to the wish of the individual ,
man who desires to disregard it.
It is, indeed, true that the danger j
which now confronts this country is
greater than the danger of destruction
by the German armies, for the t'
country is now being stabbed in the
back by men who have professed loy- 1
alty to it. And these men are preaching
lawlessness. They are telling
their friends, even the school boys of
the day, that violation of law is a
thing of which to be proud as indicating
a man's independence of spirit <
and his refusal to obey any law which' ]
does not suit his own convenience j i
This spirit it growing 50 rapidly, and,!
has been developing for so many |'
years, that the men and women of (
this-country who I3ve this land, who,1
want td see it saved .from ruin1, need I
to Ve aroused to a new ?ense of pa jJ
triotiem. And patriotismmeans a-.i
irnmg other things obedience to law -jt
and the -upholding of laws so long as 1
they are on the statute books. It ]
means also that the man who violate 1
our laws must be regarded exactly \
as the slacker or the deserter in war i
times would be regarded by his .com- j
rades in arms as well as by-all pa- <
triotic people. u
Let us have a new call to patriotism, j
a new awakening to the dangers ]
which face us as a nation through the ]
breaking down- of lay^-Manufactur- i

On Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock, ^
at the home of her parents, in the

families and a few intimate friends, j
Miss Inez Boyd became the bride of (
Mr. Joseph Robert Ellen of Battleboro^
N. C. , ^
As Mrs. Clarence Boyd, at the
piano, began the strains of Loh'engtin's
Wedding March the bridal
party,' descending the stairs, entered
the living room and took their places
before an improvised altar of clema-|
tis and daisies backed with ferns and I
lighted by candles. First, came Rev.
L. V. Coggins. pastor of the bride, I
who took his place just back of the
altsr. Next^entered the groom on *the~f

Sister Eliza Csrver before her mar- PS

md was born in Halifax county, Va_ |gj
Sept. 27, 1840, and waa married to g
rhomas Jefferson Carver of Person gg
:ounty March 5, 1882. To this union H
were born 9 children, 7 of whom are ^

W. Clayton of Roxboro. There are 20 [
grandchildren and 5 great grandchil- |
iren. Thomas J. Carver, the husband, |
died about 25 years ago.
Sister Carver was converted and I
pined the Methodist Episcopal Church, tj
South, early in life. She loved her Eg
church and was an exemplary Chris- jg
tian. She was hopeful and cheerful, g
bearing her suffering with a smile g
that she might comfort others. She B
let her light shine, and her pathway H
will shine more and more unto the |b
perfect day. Four yean ago Siste? g
Carver had a fall breaking a limb, g
from which she suffered much, and IB
in account 01 which she was deprived ,g
>f church privileges. She was always 'S
jlad to have her pastor visit her and (5
to engage in conversation that tends B
to enlarge spiritual life and strength- g
en character.
On Thursday, May 22, she quietly ?
breathed her last and went home to g
be forever with the Lord. She came ?
to the end like ripening grain. On Ej
May 23rd the funeral was conducted g
by her pastor, assisted by Rev. J. B. g
Hurley, and Rev. R. E. White of the g
Baptist church, and was laid to rest g
In the cemetery at Roxboro. "Her g
grandsons acted as pall bearers: B
Gordon Carver of Durham, Arthur, Pj
Willie and Marvin Carver of Rouge- B
nont, James Carver and Winfrey g
Clayton of Roxboro. ?
May the good Lord watch over and a
:omfort all she so tenderly loved and ?
left behind, and may all meet where B
there will be no parting,

FROM ALLEXSVTLLE. g
Well, our primary of June 7th is jg
5ver. I shall not call it a Democratic s
primary for it is no longer such, or 3
it least it was not such at AUensville. '9
ind I was in Roxboro yesterday and 3
the jfcod people of that place were
iisffusted with the way it was car- jj|
rjea out. ii nepuoacans are aaowea n
:o vote freely like they were at Al- 2
ensville Saturday then a primary is, \i
mnecessary for it does not* express
he wish of the Democratic party. I ho
laye the greatest respect for the R.^- scj
lublican who is a Republican for what r0l
lis party stands for but it is very
mju^j/and unfair for them to dictate th,
is to who the Democrat shall vote tj,,
for in the fall. Now bear in mind.
:ur Republican judfre did net approve
)f this prcceedure or take any part n0
n same, and if the Republicans had ^
listened to him things 'would have ^
coked very different, instead of Melrin
Long being eleven votes behind he ^
would have been ahead. I have tried ^
.o make a clean fight for Mr. Long,
without any dictation from him or ^
any one else. I have not tried to. hurt
the feeling3 of any one or used the pe
name of any one running for sheriff, ^
except Mr. Cothran-.% and was forced
to do this by his own supporters. I p
have no ill will whatever towards Mr.
Cothran, so far as I know or have
ever heard he js a perfect gentleman
end if had gotten the nomination I **
should have supported him whole
heartedly, in fact all the men who t c
were in the running were supposed
to be gentlemen and worthy of all
the Democratic support they could
get.?Poor Richard.
