but he was reprieved until August
^ Two hearings already have beheld
in his case and a third is scheduled.
Date for the third hearing has not
yet been set.
Bittings killed T. M. Clayton, white
farmer of Person County. The de
fense contends that Bittings fired
in self defense.
Bittings' wife and children were
heard at the first hearing and gave
testimony which seriously damaged
his chances Tor clemency. Their^tes
timony, in substance, was that Clay
ton did not threaten Bittings j
At the second hearing, defense
atorneys brought witnesses who tes
tified that Clayton was known
be a man of violent temper. One
of the witnesses. Prank Pettiford,
Negro youth, said that Clayton once

Mr. Long Proposes
That Citizens Give
A Day's Labor
July 30th, 1931.
Mr. J. W. Noell, Editor,
The Roxboro Courier,
Dear Mr. Noell:
Like Brother Carlton I hesitate to
write anything for publication, but
it does seem to me this matter is
very necessary and should be done
somehow, our tar and gravel streets
are in a deplorable condition.
They represent quite a large
amount in dollars and on account of
general conditions they are being
allowed to go to waste. A moderate
sum now would place these streets in
good condition and allow them to
be in good shape for this winter.
My suggestion is this: that.every
citizen who is ablebodied, possessing
pride in the town and those who are
patriotic, give one day's labor to a
worthy cause, rebuiding our streets.
There is at present three capable
engineers in our midst and I believe
they can be depended upon to give
a little of their time.
The Town can furnish the ma
terials, the engineers can supervise
the work, and its citizens the labor.
These streets that are full of holes
can be repaired very easily under1
such a method and what is the dif-'
ference?we give the labor and save 1
the taxes.
If such a plan can be perfected,
I will be more than glad to get out
there with a bunch of fellows and
do an honest day's work for the'
good of Roxboro and its future.
It would be just like a picnic and
everybody would enjoy the fun. Let's'
get together and do it, now.
Very truly yours,
E. G. Long.
TOO MUCH GAS
Saturday morning, the week's work
about done, some of the fellows were
sitting around at the Lime-Cola
Bottling Works. One of these gas1
tubes that is used for carbonated
water and ihtlie serving of certain
oter kinds of drinks was sitting close1
by. It had jost been filled with
gas. All at once there was a loudj
explosion. Messrs. Preston Horner.
and Lester Clayton were hurled
against the wall of the building and
hnrt slightly* and, if We can be
lieve all reports, scared a great
deal. All the folks in the Roxboro
Laundry, plant, next door, found
that they had business on the out
side in a hurry. The tube was to
tally destroyed, but no one was in
jured seriously, although Preston
Horner got an injury on the hand
and another one on the face, and|
Mr. Lester Clayton had a quantity
of metal picked out of his face. But
they are getting on all right at this
time. The boys had tried to put
too much gas into that tube.
ROXBORO DELEGATION
VISITS MR. JEFFRES
Prospects Looks Bright For
Completion Of Route 144
At An Earlv Date
STREET PROBLEM AIRED
Last Thursday a delegation com
posed of the following visited Mr.
Jeflress, State Highway Commis
sioner in Raleigh: Mr. Plem. D.
Long, chairman of the board of
County Commissioners; Hon. R. L.
Harris and Messrs. Gordon Hunter,
P. O. Carver, R. A. Burch, Dr. B. A.
Thaxton and Mayor R. B. Dawes.
This delegation was joined by the
chairman of the boaiH of County
Commissioners from Hiftsboro, Mr.
Berry, and several other gentlemen
from Hillsboro, Mr. Ketchum, sec re-'
tary of the Greensboro chamber of
commerce and Mr. Mitchell, secre
tary of Burlington chamber of
commerce.
The first matter considered was
the completion of Route 144 from
Greensboro to Richmond, via Rox
boro. There is a gap of long stand
ing between Route 62 and the bridge
over Hyco just Inside the Person
county line, as well as the broken
link between Roxboro and Virgilina.
This is a through route, which will
save something like thirty miles in
going from Greensboro to Rich
mond, hence the interest being
taken by Greensboro and Burling
ton. Mr. Jeffress was thoroughly
acquainted with this route and gave
the delegation much hope that It
will be completed Just as early as
funds can be found.
The next item taken up was a
road from Hillsboro to Roxboro?
county-seat-to-county-seat?by way
of Hurdle Mills. Hillsboro and Rox
boro are both interested in this road
and it looks as if it would be built
in the near future. Following this
the Roxboro delegation took up
some purely local matter, streets in
the town.
Altogether It was a very satisfac
tory meeting and wo feel that we
are going to see some much needed
roads in the County.

'An Old Man Sits And Ponders" Were The Words Written
By A Correspondent Of One Of Our State
Dailies Last Week
Now let us take you back Into
the flies of history and get the
story of that man's life.
Imagine that you are in the
court-room of the Person County
Courthouse on the day of April 18.
1894. In the judge's seat is the
presiding officer. Judge George A.
Shuford. At the prosecutor's desk
sits Capt. E. S. Parker. Solicitor,
and Victor S. Bryant. On the other
side, at the defendant's desk sits
Aubrey L. Brooks and Wra. D. Mer=*
ritt, 'two young lawyers Just (ju^ofl
college. Mr. Brooks having received
his license to practice law at the
August examination of the previous
year and Mr. Merritt having re
ceived his at the. February meeting
o fthe same year. 1894. The defend
ants in this case are Messrs. Logan
Meadows and Jasper Roberson. The
charge Is murder In the flrst degree.
Here Is the Story:
In 1889 Logan Meadows appeared
before the bar of Justice In Person
County Indicted for larceny and was
sentenced to the State Penitentiary
for a period of five year? At the
fall term of 1893 he was arraigned
before the same court for a similar
offense. The trial of this action
was postponed on account of the
absence of some of the state's wit
nesses. In the meantime, the court
ordered that the defendant. Logan
Meadows, be placed In the custody
of the Sheriff of Durham County
for trial on a "graver offense." on
the 31st of January, 1894. he, with
Jasper Roberson. was still In the
Person County Jatf. This day was a
dark and cloudy Sunday,
Mr. Willis Royster, the Jailer,
went to feed his proteges that morn
ling. After he had been In the jail
for a few minutes, his wife, who was
iln the jailer's house nearby, heard
'a cry from the Jail. Going to Inves
tigate she found her. husband dead
| on the floor of the Jail and these
.two men. Meadows and Roberson,
I gone. Sheriff Jim Carver was sum
moned. Hastily he organized a
I searching party and the man hunt
was on. On reconstructing the cir
cumstances of the killing It was
[thought that the two men, who
I were confined in the same cell, had [
. asked the jailer to open the door ;
for some reason and had then pro
ceeded to knock him down, killing ?
him, and taking1 his keys for their
get-away.
The search -for these men finally
culminated in their Capture. It Is
sgld'that they were found lying up
In a brush pile not so far away from
the town. That is the story as It
[was told there In the court that
day. On the following day. April '
. 19, the Jury took the case under ad
visement On April 24 they pro- :
fessed to the court that they were !
unable to agree on a verdict, and
.they were dismissed. The prisoners
were ordered remanded to Jail and
[court adjourned until the next, cr
fall, Msslon. Sometime between the
spring and fall there was what has
Jheen termed a "Jail-delivery," and
I these two got away again
I Now the drama moves at a
swifter pace. Roberson was never
.recaptured. Meadows was Anally '
apprehended. As the State depend
ed on the aestfmony of Roberson for
ja conviction, the defense rflnally 1
agreed to plead guilty to a charge 1

Berlin, July 31.?President Paul

Medical bulletins from the bed

RICH IN ROMANCE
Plot Of "Rothschild," New Arliss
Film, Boasts Four Distinct Types
Of Devotion
Four types of love are depicted In
"The House of Rothschild." George
Arliss' first starring vehicle under
his new contract with Joseph M.
Schenck and Darryl F. Zanuck's 20th
Century picture company, which
plays at Princess Theatre, South
Boston. Va? Thursday and Friday,
Aug. 2-3rd, matinee 3: Kit rfght 7:30
and 9:15.
There is, first of all, the devotion
of the Rothschilds to each other?
the loyalty and unity which was
the secret of the family's sensation
al rise to wealth and (ame.
Then there Is the love of Nathan
Rothschild, and his wife Hannah,
portrayed Ly George Arliss and his
wife, Florence Arliss.
For those who demand a taste of
sweet, young romance, there Is the
love between Julie, Nathan's beau
tiful daughter, played by Loretta
Young, and Fltzroy, Wellington's
dashing aide, portrayed by Robert
Young.
Another powerful form of devo
tion is exemplified In the patriotism
of Nathan, whose love of England
leads to the placing of the entire
Rothschild fortune In the war
against Napoleon.
The film, which Introduces the
leading historical figures of the per
iod, was directed by Alfred Werker,
assisted by Maude T. Howell, from
a script prepared by Nunnally John
son.
