MILLION POUNDS RBSTJEW DAYS V X ON -MEM BERS ASK CHANCE TO SIGN First Advance By Co-ops Almost Stops A pother "Steal" Of Crop Delivery of more than a million pounds of tobacco to "* cooperative warehouses in the South Carolina belt during the first few days after "the season's opening met a cash ad vance of sixty-five per cent of bank ers' valuation on the 1925 crop and the result is that hundreds of non members are appealing to tha anso | ciation for up opportunity to "sigp ' up" before they put any more of the weed on the market. - Turning of tags on several auc tion floors dV^lng the past week was almost epidemic. The boasted ave rage on the auction floors during the first three days the markets were opened 'has dwindled three to four cents in the light of figures compiled by warehousemen and made public in the Monday papers. It is not, however, the purpose of the association at this time to re * open the books. * As is now general ly known, the tenant farmer is en abled to deliver his tobacco to the association under the provisions of the landlord's contract. This pro cedure has been followed more du ring the opening days of the sesion than ever before in the history of the association. : "? Summing up the situation - in the S>uth Carolina belt a few days af t?r the markets had opened, tftr Florence (S. C.) News-Review had the following to say: "One of the most encouraging features of the opening of the South; Qaroltnn fcbbaico market was the strong pace set by the cooperative marketing association. In advanc ing to members (SB per eent UPON THE BASIS OF PRICES EQUALLY AS H|GH AS iLAlST YEAR, the association thrPw a bomb-shell into the tobacco camp * . It was hailed with delight by members cf the asso ciation and received as an indica tion of the strength of the organi zation." The significant thing about the high advance made possible this year to association members is, in the opinion of everybody, the degree of confidence which the Federal government and the great financial institution"! have in the tobacco asso ciation. The sixty-five per cent ad vance is the highest ever made b\* an agency of the government in as sisting to finance the marketing cf a crop of tobacco. Striking,- also, is the readily per ceptible increase in the amount of the advance made on all grade* of tobacco since the organization cf the association, a factor which indicates to students of the marketing rob lem that the chances of another "steal" of a tobacco crop arc grad ually disappearing. "The first advance made this year," according to a statement "just made at association headquarter* in Ral eigh "is a greater payment at the time of delivery of tobacco than the total payment of any Five years' average on the auction floor, exclud ing. of course the war years." "The association has made pro gress," the statement adds, we are beginning the 1925 season under the tnost favorable circumstances. We have settled for the crops of i922 and 1923 ami we have paid to our member* 75 per cent of bankers' valuation^ on all grades received by the association and we have mode aettlement on 14 grades of the 1924 crop. "This progress h* been made, and this confidence of government agencies and great banking infttitn tions has been inspired, with only one-third of the tobacco. What will the sssooiatioh be able to do when the deliveries are increased, as they be, to fifty per cent?" |j o JRO ts ROXBORO cotton Mills Saturday "there was a jrame en TTr Hoxbqftr; bo^s Mrtt-i club, i o asy victory for ths s, the- score being K.tc UNION SERVICE AT ST MARK'S The Bonds of Friendship Between Roxboro and Durham More Strongly Strengthened iFor the second time in the past two months the tie that binds hearts in Christian lave, and " neighborly good feeling, w? strengthened on Sunday last, when, upon cordial in vitation; St. Phillip's church vetted choir, of this city, again visited St. Mark's Episcopal church, in Roxboro, and furnished the music for the last union meeting held in that town for this summer season. These meet ings, of the various denominations of Roxboro, held every Sunday eve ning, rotating from one church to another, have been very interesting and productive of much good. The people have expressed themselves as having enjoyed every one of them. The meetings have brought the peo ple into a closer fellowship, and more friendly relations, with each other and with the people of Dur ham. St. Mark's church, last Sunday evening, like at the former service four weeks ago, was crowded to the vestibule, and with many on the out side unable to obtain entranee into the beautiful little stone church, un der the spreading oak trees. As on the former occasion, the full choir of St. Phillip's church, thia city, was unable to go over, but those who did go on this occasion fully sustained the reputation of of this splendid choir, and furnished delightful renditions of hymns, chants and solos. Those who mctored over from Dur ham, at the "end of a perfect day," Were of the choir ? Mrs. J. M. Man ning. organist; Mrs P N. Constable. violinist; Mrs. W. W. Card, Mrs. Felix Markham, P. N. Constable, F. M. Bennett, C. W. Teague and W. R. Brown. Members of the congregation and fricwdn of? thenchoir who also aom oosed the Durham visitors were Mrs. C. W. Tiague, and Miss Margaret Teague; Mr. and Mrs. K. C. Teague; Mrs. C-. M. Herndon; Mrs. F. W. Behnett, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Young er; Mr and Mrs. James A. Robinson and Victor Moore. The music rendered by the vest ed choir was wry inspiring, and the sermon by the rector, Rev. I.iily crop, was most helpful. His theme was upon the passage of scripture. Rev. S-20: "Behold I stand at the door and knock." God doesn't force men to serve Him. He enters the hearts of those only that cpen the door from within. There was an exhortation to accept Christ more abundantly and spread the gospel of 'ove and good will among our fel low men. At the conclusion of the sen-ices 'here was a. season of Rood fellow ship and exchange -of greetings among the congregation and the visitors, wherein' new friendships were made and old acquaintance re -towed. A pleasing: surprise was af forded the Durham party, after the greeting at the church, when Mrs K. Bberman invitd the choir and their friends to her beautiful home, near the church, and served them bounljfuU^. -a lovely buffet luncheon, complete aAd delightfully satisfying in alt of its unique and refreshing appointments. Mrs. Ebcrman's ~rac i:us hospitality, together with the other ladies and gentlemen of St Mark's membership, who assisted her. will long be remembered as one of the most pleasing events of visits to Roxboro. On the 24th of August, Rev. Bot ram Brown, of Tarboro, will begin a Week's mission, or revival in St. Mark's church, Roxboro. The peo ple there have a rare treat in store. Mr. Brown is one of the outstand ing clergymen in the Episcopal church in North Carolina; a man of deep piety, great learning in the scriptures, and has traveled exten sively. His sermon^ will be in spirations. Roxboro will be blessed by his visit and ministrations. ? Dur ham Herald.

This wm one of Die fargc^ meetings the Association has had ir some time, and. from all appearanco pnuch interest is being manifested pa the Association in this ? County . SIXTEEN PATIENTS H5T_ WILL AFFECT HfCW ' Want Of SuAcient Ma stakes Action Neteiwy, Says Superintendent ? Sanatorium, Aug, 15? (By the sociated Frees:) ? Sixteen pati all suffering from tuberculosis ii rlou* stages, have been req leave the state sanatorium; the treatment of the disease temtxr 1 if possible and if not at the: earliest possible date a. ward. Within the next Ave or months, 18 or 20 Other patients a similar condition be se with the notices to leave. This r~t icy, adopted ?>y the board of trus tees bcause of the lack of neei sary buildings, beds and main nance funds, was ordered pat i' effect within two months by a m?? ing of the b-ahl held here on Jul t 7. Specifically, the board decided that all patients who had been ;it the institution 18 months or longtr must be required to leave la order 'o make room for ether patients.. 1 The 38 patients who will be a t fected by the policy during the next five months will go to varion* parts of the state. Those who have fatto ilies and friends able to pay for. their support will go to private in stitutions, those with homes but without funds to afford private san atoria will return to their jhomes. those without funds or homes will be returned to the home . ounlles where they will be placed 1iy tVe ?nunty hemes if the counties htrrr no tubercular institutions lit whicjj ?o areat them. Som% of these pa rents are bedridden, some cfyUi ire able to be about for a li -wriod each da?; * gtr them have tuberculosis in' n ' stags >f development which presents lit tle hope of a cure. D?ath. with goot^ treatment may n>t summon I them for years; deeth, without good treatment ,may visit them within a shcrt period. In practically every ?a?c% the disease has made such progress that a total cure is ;e srarded as tloro to impossible. All I I f them to live must have rest? hy far the greatest factor in the I treatment of the white plarue. ? "The feeling of the board, av erted Dr. P. P. McCain, superin tendent of the institution speaking for the board of trustees, "is one of extreme regret that any such ruling became necessary, but, in the face of conditions, it was felt to be the best criurse when the good of all was considered." MRS. TODD ENTER TAINED CIRCLE NO. 2. On Thursday afternoon Mrs. N. J. Todd entertained Circle No. 2 of the W. M. U. of Mill Creek Church. The subject for the afternoon was, "Home Missions, " from which ar. in teresting program was rendered, many subjects being discussed un der the leadership of Mrs. N. J. Todd. After the study hour the guests were invited into the dining room where a delicious course of cak^ and punch was served. ? T.

Game Of Ball ('remised, but ? ? e of the most delightful after ttons we have spent in i long while on last Thursday when the Ikoro Rotary Club was enter by the Oxford Rotary Club, rd has long been noted for its uty. for its hospitalicy and as an ational center, bat on last Thurs evening we saw thenv put to eupreme test ? a base ball game, fought to the finish, and a deciding; (am# at fhat. Any town, any set of nien v.'ho can play a losing came nnd mvrr for a moment lo.?e their tem per can stand up and go ahead, siid that is just what Oxford did. A. bout two weeks ago the Oxford Club came over here and fought oat the first game, which, owing to ,-omc bad breaks caused by bad xTmnds, was lost to Roxboro Really, it was not because Roxboro had the better team, but simply on :>cccunt if unfortunate breaks, that re won the first game. Immediate ly a challenge was accepted for the >eeond game, and the boys were not it ajl sure, but ? , well, honestly, wu ? believe that Oxford bunch just ^ wanted to make our boys feel good, and began by playing along with hem, but they carried their hospi tality "too ' far, and our boys got jHCh a lead that it was impossible to catch up, the score being 29 to 5. m favor of Roxboro. [. Well, Oxford can not play ball. &ut whetv it craoes to entertaining they are .right there with the goods, no town on earth ? big territory, used advisedly, can excell them, ?jt is a good town, a beautiful town Kefth. the .very best of f .->1 k < axiL fevVipn Roxboro tires tf this scribe to P>xfotd he is going, and ask them to take him in, even as a hired man. ? VISITING MINISTER , 1TERE I. AST srsrvvv La9t Sunday morning Rev. Shir-' ley of Williamstown, N. C., occupied the rulpit at the Roxboro Biptist Church, using as his text John 3-31: 'He that cometh from above i 3 above all".

He was | accompanied by Mrs. Shirley, and Roxborc hepes he will conn way again. MAJ. H"' -;i)OX WILL ADDRESS BAKACA CLASS Maj. L. P. McLendon of Durham] will address the Baptist Baraca Class in the Baptist church here next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. Maj. McLendon is well known in this Oounty and has a strong following. The public generally is invited to hear this' address. There will be no service in the church at the evening hour. BALL GAME THURSDAY On_ next Thursday evening, Aug. 20th, at 4 o'clock, the Durham Ro tary Club will cross bats with the Roxboro Rotarians. The Roxborc cHub has been very successful in their games, having defeated Ox ford twice, but the boys are ju.'t a little uneasy about the outcome of tomorrow's game, for Durham ha* a large membership of Rotary which gives them a wide margin -front which to select. However, Ed Hill and Earl Bradsher, the Roxboro bat tery, say they , have the medicine nnd will send the Durham Rotarians home wiser, but probably a wee bit sadder. Ladies are invited ts the ??me.
