THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSO. foreign Advertising Representative. Wednesday, September 26, 1934 BEWARE OF SMOOTH TONGUE ARTISTS The Roxboro tobacco market; opened yesterday and with the com ing of the opening came also the smooth tongue artists who will ply their best efforts to seperate you: from your hard earned money; not- ] withstanding there is every indica- I tion that the farmer is going to get a profit for his labor this year, it' is of great importance that he make every dollar do a dollar's duty. A large majority of the farmers, as well as white collar men, laborers' and, .professional men, to say noth ing bf the newspaper folks, are in debt, and it behooves every one to do his utmost to relieve the situa tion by paying something on these debts. Especially do we want to warn our farmer friends, and their good wives, to beware of the agent who calls trying to sell them some thing for which they possibly have little or no need; remember, these slick tongue artists are professionals in their lines and they could al most persuade the dead that they needed a new suit of clothes. The article they will present to you may be all right, but remember, these things can usually be bought for less money at your- own nearby country store, for it costs money to travel over the country making ' a sale here and there. We rejoice with the farmer in his prosperity, for we know the past few years have been hard on him and his family; the good wife has hardly known what it was to have a new dress, or a new fall hat ?and every woman, either in town or country, wants above all things j a fashionable hat to wear when she goes to ehutch, or makes a trip to; town, and the old man has worn j that same old suit until it is as thin that the winds have little re gird for it, while the children have had to go barefoot until the winter was almost gone, if not all, of the Winter. Yes, we know these things and we would not for a moment in sist on you taking all of your mon-' ey and trying to square all of your accounts, for you and yours are en titled to some of the luxuries, and no one will cbndemn you for giving your families some of thei things mentioned; but 'please doi not let the shark who has no inter-1 est in you other than to fleece you gut of your money get any of it. : o STRIKE SETTLED Such was the news that came over the wires Monday, and in set tling the strike every one was man ifestly pleased, "While the strike has been called dtf and many work ers back at their accustomed tasks, the matter is still to be ' threshed out, and no one can claim a Vic tory, for ? no one knows Just what the results will be. The President will name tfiree boards which will take In toe* consideration the ques tions in dispute, namely the stretch out, hours and wages and the pow ers of bargaining. These matters we are perfectly willing to leave in the hands of the boards to be ap pointed by the President, for we believe he will name men, possibly some women, who will have the In terest of both capital and labor at heart. It ended as all knew It would eventually end, by arbrltatlon, and that Is the only way such matters can end, but the trouble was, -why strike before making an effort for peaceful settlement? It did no one any good, but on the contrary every. one lost by it; the manufacturer lost from the close because while * ?? the mills were noj running there were no profits, and the laborer lost millions In wages. May it be a long , time before?we see "such a foolish proposition again. ? With the tobacco market opened, no major football games to be played "here, what have we to look forward to? Yesterday was a red letter day for Baxborn,- for notwithstanding * every house was practically full of tobacco the buyers never let up for a minute, and the farmers were al most to a man satisfied with prices. It can no longer be said the Rox boro buyers are not interested in our market, they are and you may feel safe in entrusting your tobacco to them. Roxboro has four big warehouses and every one is managed by folks you know, have known practically all your life, home-folks, and they are all interested In not simply what they can get out of the busi ness on account of commissions, but they are your friends and want to help you. ?o And again wr say, SELL YOUR TOBACCO IN ROXBORO. NEW JERSEY l'O CHARGE HAUPTMANN WITH MUR DER OF LINDBERGH BABY (Continued from first page) mann probably will not be started 'until next week. When asked what charges will be preferred In the state which has jurisdiction over the abduction and (death of the baby, Wilentz turned | to Colonel H. Norman Schwarzkopf, superintendent of the state police. They conferred a minute. Then Schwarzkopf said: "Kidnapping and murder." Hurries Case. District Attorney Samuel Foley, of the Bronx, hurried his case be fore the grand jury, calling nine witnesses at the first day's session. Among these was Dr. John F. Con don?th? "Jafsie" who paid over the $50,000 ransom as Lindbergh's intermediary. "We presented the case," Foley said, "as completely as we could, but it is not yet coordinated, and can not be until we hear the testi mony of important witnesses, in cluding Colonel Henry Breckinridge (the Lindbergh attorney) and Colo nel Lindbergh."" Foley's Evidence. Building up his case of extortion against Hauptmann, Foley laid this evidence before the grand Jurors: The testimony of Dr. Condon that he paid the money over; his partial identification of Hauptmann as the recipient. The identification by John Per rone, the taxicab driver who says Hauptmann gave him a dollar to deliver a note to Condon's home? one of the ransom notes. Testimony of Walter Lyle and John Lyons, filling station attend ants who identified Hauptmann as the man who paid for gasoline with one of the ransom bills. Foley has also summoned hand writing experts who have identl fled Hauptmann's writing as that on the ransom notes. An impetus to the search for ac complices of Hauptmann was gievn with' the disclosure in Washington that Department of Justice agents were seeking to provi that Isadore Fisch?Hauptmann's friend ) who went to Germany and died sudden ly?was present in a Bronx ceme tery the night "Jafsie" paicL the ransom. I | The evidence in the possession of the federal agents, it was known, strongly hinted at such a possibility. One Of County'#. Best Schools It was my pleasure Friday to spend the .day at one of Person County's best schools, and as I stood upon the steps of this splen did building the thought presented Itself to me that doubtless there were many people In the county who did not know of the fine work htat is being done there.

Miss Helen Graves of Leasburg Is principal and has been for years and is assisted by flne corps of teachers. Miss Graves taught in the old building and planned this new building. She is a consecrated wo man and most excellent teacher and feel sure many hundreds of girls and boys recall their school days under her guidance with pleasure [ and pride. Situated nearby Is the commun | ity house, built by state funds, un der Miss Graves' direction, supple mented by other funds.

Lunsford; Trustee OXFORD LED OLD BECT Oxford, Sept. 26.?Prices on the better grades of , tobicco offered on the Oxford tobacco market sky rocketed Friday and the reopening Monday after the week-end holiday found prices firm on all grades, lugs selling exceedingly high. The word is getting noised about that Oxford has led the belt in prices for several days and new patrons are coming daily, many of them from distant tobacco-growing coun ties. Sales began without a block in any of the six large warehouses, which have a daily selling capa city of more than 500,000 pounds. Two full sets of buyers represent ing all the manufacturers and ex porters of tobacco and a number of independent buyers bid spiritedly' daily and keep prices highest In Ox ford. The bulk of the offerings to date have been ground primings, but a greater volume of leaves from the middle of the plant appeared on market this week and this type of tobacco ts easily bringing from 1*6 to $80 the hundred. The average for the entire market the past week when 1,767,574 pounds was sold, was near $27.00 the hundred. Oxford Is the only market In the Middle Belt which oflei^^fevern ment grading'service. Pawners rae confident this I4 helpful In getting higher prices for their tobacco. GEN. JOHNSON RESIGNS CHIEF OF RECOVERY UNIT] (Continued from first page) It never .before was accepted. To day, f rthe recovery leader revealed his reasons in some measure for giving up his job, pointing to press-f ing. private work. Now Superfluous. Johnson, in his letter, called the President's attention to' the fact! that the NRA was being reorganised and tinder the scheduled ceojganK zation set-up, }ie felt,his own job was superfluous. He assured1 the Chief Executive that he would" have his (Johnson's) continued friend ship, and that shquld he be called on again to serve the New Deal, he would be ready to do so. President Roosevelt, In accepting Johnson's resignation, said he felt the NRA had fulfilled its first phase of usefulness, and that the time had come for revision. At the same time, it was made plain that this reor ganization will come in the very near futfire, perhaps within the next few days. It was Indicated at the same time that the President plans within the next few days, after he arrives In Washington tomorrow, to see Johnson and have a talk with him concerning the NRA. Johnson, before going out of of fice on October 15, will make Si final report to the President, and It was obvious from the letters mak ing the resignation and acceptance plain today that this report will to some extent chart the course of the big recovery unit In the fuutre.
