Looking Back Ten Years The Following Hems Were Taken At Random From The Courier This Issue Ten Years Ago Something New Under The Sun: Last week the officials of the Nor folk Sz Western went over to DUi? ham to confer about the new train between Durham and Lynchburg. As Roxboro produces more revenue for the N. Sz W. than any station on the road save Durham and Lynchburg-the Company showed its respect for Roxboro by asking Mr. J. A. Long to accompany them and be in the meeting. Hie Nor folk & Western Railway Co. is Just a little more considerate of its pa trons than any big corporation with which we have ever had any deal ings, consequently in this instance they acquiesced to the wishes of Roxboro and Durham and will on next Sunday put on this new train. It will leave Durham at 5:15 p. m., passing here at or about 6:05, car rying a chair car with dining ser vice, so that one wanting to go from here to Washington,^Now York or other northern points can leave here Will Play Here Tonight At Planters Warehouse House of David, of Buffalo, N. Y., will play Person County's best picked team at Planter's Warehouse, Roxboro, on Wednesday night, March 7th, at 8 o'clock. The players wear an unusual beard as you see. Those shaveless athletes from the strange House of David religious colony are smashing attendance re cords everywhere, and a banner crowd Is looked for when they appear here. Their beard must spur them on because they have won 22 games out of 25. They have defeated some college and Independent teams. B. B. Knight has picked what he believes to be the best basket ball players in Person County to play this famous bunch of bearded men. . i?v at 6:05, get supper?or dinner, just as you are inclined to call it?and reach New York at 9 a. m., the next morning. We congratulate the N. & W. upon this step and sincerely trust they will find the train a paying propo sition. New Depot for Roxboro: For a< number of years the citizens herei have clamored for a new depot, and every one will admit we need it. During the war the N. & W. asked the citizens to wait until affairs got - pprmal and they would give the town aaBtfim in keeping with its deserts, wb'+legm they are now ready to make this promise good ,in fact have plans drawn and propose to build at or near the present site a station the town will be proud of. Unless some one throws a wrench in the plans this station will be built during the spring and summer, and with the splendid service, which is mentioned elsewhere, and this new station people passing this good town will have a better impression j of us than ever before. Carried to Hospital: Dr. W. A.1 Bradsher carried Mr. J. H. Whitt to the hospital Monday night. Mr. Whitt has been ill for the past sev-1 eral days but his friends hope" he will soon recover. *-?? An Egg Record: From 38 hens during January and February we, got 712 eggs. Since November 1st j we have sold 72 dozen at an average' of 40 cents per dozen. This is what Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Blalock of RteJ 1, have done with their chickens, I and it is easily seen how the chick-j ens are helping on this farm. Noth ing pays a bigger dividend than' the hen, when properly fed and, cared for. j An Old Landmark Gone: The old storage factory on Reams Ave. and Lamarr streets is being torn down. This was one of the first factories built here after the tobacco market was opened and for several years has been vacant. Some time since the building was condemned, hence is being torn down. Modern Cotton Gin: Mr. Burgess, with the Murray Company, has just closed a contract with T. T. Hester & Co. for a modern up-to-date cot ton gin plant with the most mod ern cleaner system in the South. This plant will be erected in Rox boro. Death of Mr. A. M. Stanfield: On last Tuesday morning Mr. A. M. Stanfield o f Brooksdale passed away. He. with his daughter. Miss Anna, had lived at Brooksdale for the past several years, and no one has ever been heard to say a word other than complimentary to this good man. He reached a ripe old age, being 77 years old. Mrs. Nora Featherston is in Le noir visiting her daughter, Mrs. A. A. Kent, who is very ill. Mr. N. Lunsford is attending court in Snow Hill this week. Judge and Mrs. D. W. Bradsher were Durham visitors yesterday. :?O-i ROTARY CLUB HEARS HISTORY OF MEDICINE The Roxboro Rotary club had its regular meeting Thursday night in the Woman's club building and was served a barbecue dinner by the la dies of the Methodist Church. The program was in charge of Dr. B. E. Love, who spoke in his chosen field. In his talk he traced the history of medicine for two thousand years, showing how it has been changed from mystic to science. He stated that medical science first developed in Egypt, and gave ex amples of how superstitious people were. He explained that the An cient Greeks were the first to sep arate science and religion, but that with the decline of Greece science' also declined. The medical pro ; fession of today he stated was vast ; ly improved from the medical pro fession of yesterday. He pointed out that four hundred years ago the average life of an individual was eight yeras, whereas today it is fifty years. He also pointed out how science of today had to a large extent eliminated suffering and sub stituted good health. It was clearly seen from his remarks the great de velopment of science and the possi bility of its future development. His talk was exceedingly instructive and very interesting. ! A. E. Pye of Greensboro was the guest of the club. Chief Executive Urges j Hiring of More People at 'Purchasing Wages' ' (Continued from first page) there was none after the President! spoke that the three-day meeting of J code authorities in Washisgton will consider first and foremost the ques tion of shortening hours and rais ing wages. As if amplifying Mr. Roosevelt's j own words. Senator Wagner (D. N. Y.), heod of the National Labor Board, later told the gathering that "it is essential that most code wages be revised." Already unofficial estimates have been made that 30 per cent?per haps more?of the industries repre sented are in a position to re-em ploy more men and pay them more. The central theme will be?how? The actual work of discussing code revision was made the task of night meetings of the various groups, but Mr. Roosevelt had clearly outlined, meanwhile, the ends in view. The Chief Executive devoted most of his address to NRA despite the fact that it lacked only a day of being the anniversary of the tumul tous time when he took the oath. Not Going Back. He did, however, sketch briefly the reasons why he has led the American people away from the deeply-rutted roads traveled by other regimes, and was solemnly ear nest in declaring: "One thing is certain: We are not going back either to the old condi tions or to the old methods." As for the recovery unit itself, the President told his audience: "You have set up representative gov ernment in industry. You are earrying it on without' violation of the Constitutional or] parliamentary system to which the United States has been accustomed.) "The aim of this whole effort is to restore our rich domestic market' by raising its vast consuming ca pacity." Mr. Roosevelt explained why he had stressed reemployment and higher pay by reminding his listen-; ers "We must remember that the bulk of the market for American industry is among the 90 per cent of our people who live on. wages' and salaries, and only 10 per cent1 of that market is among people who] live on profits alone." No Room to Hesitate. "No one," he said, "is opposed to sensible and reasonable profits, but the morality of the case is that a great segment of our people are in actual distress, and that as between profits first and humanity after wards, we have no room for hesi tation. . . , "It is worth while keeping in the front of our heads the thought that the people in this country whose incomes are less than $2000 a year buy more than two-thirds of all thej goods sold here. . . . 'Every examination I make, and) all the Information I receive lead! me to the inescapable conclusion ? that we now must consider imme diate cooperation to secure increase in wages and shortening of hours. I am confident that your delibera tions will lead you also to this con clusion." ^ Assurances to some uneasy employ ers who fear any blanket reduction of hours and a boost for pay rolls was given by Mr. Roosevelt when he said: "I never have believed that we[ should violently impose flat arbi trary and abrupt changes on the economic structure, but we never theless can work together in arriv ing at a common objective." o REV. PROCTOR IS SPEAKER AT KIWANIS MEET! Featured by a most interesting talk by Rev. C. K. Proctor of the] Oxford Orphanage the Klwanls] Club held one of the biggest and: best meetings last Monday night j since its organization a few months ago.

Rev. Creasy Proctor gave a brief but interesting resume of the work as carried on by the institu tion of which he is head, the Oxford Orphanage. He brought home to the Kiwanis club that this institu tion was doing one of the biggest works of any like Institution in the state. Not only that but he" cited some very instructive figures which emphasized more than anything the fact that the caring for three hun dred and seventy-five children is a man-sized job. -O ] NOTICE OF SALE Under and by virtue of a decree of the Superior Court of Person County in the special proceeding entitled "B.
