Rockingham high school forfeited
the basket ball game on Friday after
noon to the Derby Memorial boys by
not showing up. The Rockingham
girls were on hand and sprang a sur
prise, winning their game from the
Derby girls by a 34 to 9 score. The
Derby youngsters expect to play El-
lerbe in Rockingham one day this
week, and are expecting a hard game.
Ellerbe lost to the Durham highs on
Saturday night in the elimination
series for the state "championship in
basket ball, and after winning several
important games over the state they
should outclass the Derby boys.
Her many friends will leaarn with
interest that Mrs. D. B. Johnson, of
the Johnson House, continues to im
prove after being confined to her
home here. She spent Thursday in
Raeford; and was accompanied by
Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. V. C. McKen
zie.
A large crowd was out for the com
munity moving picture show on
Thursday night, at the school audi
torium.
Miss Patty Marks spent the week
end with home folks in Albemarle;
she was accompanied home by Miss
Lucile Eifort of West End, another
one of our popular teachers, and Al
ton Smith of the senior class. Miss
Eifort and Mr. Smith went over to
Charlotte on Saturday, returning on
Sunday; while there Mr. Smith called
on his sister who graduated in high
school here last year, and is now
taking nurses’ training at St. Peter’s
hospital.
Some of the orchard men finished
pruning their peach trees last week,
and now have their trees sprayed.
Others are for behind with their work,
having many acres to plant in peaches.
The suggestion for a Board of Ag
riculture is good and is worthy of
discussion. We are behind some coun
ties in agriculture, and it would
mean some encouragement to the dirt
farmer, and assistance from a Board
would be valuable.
The wood supply is plentiful, on
nearly all farms, but if we raise to
bacco it will be very scarce for home
use in a few years. Some of the
farmers who have a good supply
of wood do not take care of it, while
others get their pine wood from who
ever they can. On one large farm
that was stumped this winter there
was enough wood burnt to last the
people on the farm for several years.
There is probably coal in this section,
but it will be a long time before it
will be developed as a winning region.
For several weeks whiskey appear
ed to be a thing of the past here,
but for several days it has come
back into use; another raid will have
to be made wherever the whiskey is
coming from, it seems to be plentiful.
On Sunday morning, between 2 and 3
o’clock, some young men lost in our
yillage left the highway, passed the
Johnson House, walked into the gar
den following a nice row of collards
until meeting another- fence, they
turned around and knocked down
other posts and ferice. They were
nice enough to b& quiet and waited
to get on the public highway to lose
their suppers. They appeared to be
in a big hurry, for they never stop
ped while on the Johnson property
and were going at a reckless speed.
On Wednesday afternoon a yoi^ig
man from Red Springs on his way
home from Greensboro, running his
Ford at a teriffic speed, left the Jack
son Creek fill and landed in the creek
with his car on top of him. J. C.
Styles, knowing his danger, caught a
car passing and rushed to the scene
expecting to fiind the young man
dead, but found him very much alive
with some ribs broken and several
cuts and bad bruises; he was able
to keep his head out .of the water.
Medical aid was rendered, and a few
hours later his father and the family
physician arrived from Red Springs;
he is now able to be up.
