Office of Superintendent
Laurinburg, N. C., Jan. 2, 1922.
We, the members of the Board of
Education of Scotland County, hav
ing known G. H. Russell for 25 years,
during five years of which time he
was County Superintendent of schools
of this county, welcome the opportuni
ty to endorse his candidacy for the
Solicitorship of this District. We
feel that the progress of the schools
in this county is due as much to his
efforts as to any other one man. His
enthusiastic public spirit while super
intendent was contagious, and the
movements he started are still gather
ing momentum. Absolutely unselfish,
he has never spared himself, his tal
ents nor money where public cause
was concerned. We still rely on his
professional advice, both pedagogical
and legal, even though other public
service has called him from this office.
So it gives us pleasure, personally
and officially, to say we believe in
G. H. Russell.

To the Democratic Voters of the 13th
Judicial District:
We, the undersigned members of
the Scotland County Bar, commend
the candidacy of Mr. Gilbert H. Rus
sell, of Scotland County, in the Demo
cratic primary to be held next June
for the nomination as the Democratic
candidate for Solicitor of the
Thirteenth Judicial District.
We have known Mr. Russell well
for many years as man, citizen and
lawyer. We know him to be a man
of exemplary character and a citizen
who has always taken a lively interest
in all public questions affecting the
life of the community and who has
contributed great assistance to the
cause of righteousness and good gov
ernment. He has, in the past, served
the public in every able and accepta
ble manner as County Superintendent
of Schools and as Register of Deeds
of Scotland County for several terms.
He ranks high in the profession and
is an able, painstaking, forceful and
fearless lawyer. He has always been
a loyal member of the Democratic
party and has helped to win many
hard fought battles for the party’s
ideals. If he is nominated we know
he will wage a valiant fight for the
party’s success in the district and if
elected will make a forceful, faithful
and very useful public servant.
Respectively,
WALTER H. NEAL, .

This weather feels good after near
ly a week of rain and snow. Streams
were swollen here last week by the
heavy rain, and a large number of
the school children were out of school,
not being able to cross the streams.
Many springs came up out of the
ground to dry up later and make
other springs stronger. During the
drought here people did not suffer
for water. If the wells and pumps
failed there were springs that still
flowed pure water, although branches
were dry or about dry.
Rev. R. G. Matheson continues to
improve slowly, although he is yet
confined to his room.
If the weather continues good there
will be a large crowd out for the
community moving pictures o n
Thursday evening.
Kivett Stuart, the little son of Mr.
and Mrs. Ira Stuart, who had the
misfortune to dislocate his hip some
*
time ago while playing basket ball
at the Derby Memorial school, is able
to be out again.
Mrs. E. J. Woodley and son, Frank
lin Bethune, have come home from
Highsmith hospital at Fayetteville.
Born to Mr. and Mrs. Earle Mon
roe, a son—Feb. 17th.
W. T. Wiggins, who recently sold
his interest in a farm here, has gone
to his old home in Bertie county,
where he will continue farming.
Miss Bindil Thomas, who holds a
position in High Point, is at home
for a few days.
The Derby Memorial school boys
continued their winning streak in
basket ball last week by defeating
Zion 54 to 0. They play Rockingham
on Friday at the Derby school and if
they win, and Rockingham wins from
Ellerbe, there will be other games to
be played to decide the champion
ship of Richmond county. Ellerbe has
a fast team, but at the first of the
season only defeated Derby by five
points, with Poole, one of Derby’s
forwards, out of the game. Ellerbe
had put out a foot ball team and had
played a few basket ball games prior
to the ^ beginning of the Richmond
county championship. Ellerbe has
not lost a game and the Derby boys
played them a close game; they won
from Fayetteville on last Friday by
the score of 22 to 14, and are yoting
to be in the race for a while in* the
state championship.
Rain has thrown farmers behind
with their work. On some farms
near here there are as many as 75
acres to be set in peaches before
spring.

The most neglected phase of south
