THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1937
No one knows now whether
Person County will remain in
the dry column or will move
j into the wet column. As things
now stand, Person County has
] voted dry. The majority was
22 votes and the “wets” do not
believe that this majority is
I enough for the “drys” to stand
upon until the votes are re
counted.
The term wet is being used
to apply to those who are in
favor of control stores and the
term dry applies to those who
are against the stores.
A recount has been demanded
and this demand will be grant
ed by the board of elections.
Whether the result will remain
the same will be determined at
this recount.
There seems to be more in
terest in the result of the elec
tion now than there was in the
election. Many people who had
said little about it before the
29th. are now saying plenty.
We have an idea that this
election is not over, but
whether the “drys” will be on
top when everything is over or
; not cannot be accurately predict
ed.
Saturday, July 3rd., has been
designated as Safety Parade
Pay and Trade With Sajety
! Day in Roxboro. Captain Jim
| Lynch and his Magic Safety car
will be in Roxboro and a safe
ty demonstration will be given.
There will also be a big safety
parade and the merchants of
Boxboro will have hundreds of
bargains for the large crowd of
shoppers who are expected
here.
Safety Parade Day has been
a big occasion in many cities
in the United States. Thousands- -
of people have gathered to see
the parade and now Roxboro ,
> out the extra add
ed attraction of a big bargain
day.
\ The Chamber of Commerce is
1 behind the movement ahd
1 ariany “mferenants are Tending'
their cooperation one hundred
per ceflt. f
people of this territory "
are invited to come to Roxboro
Saturday and see the parade
I and visit the stores. You are in
! for a real treat in many ways.
This paper joins with scores
of Roxboro people in demand
| ing that the police department
of this city make every effort
to discover the cause of the
death of about ten dogs in Rox
boro on Wednesday and to find
out if possible who was res
ponsible for this.
It is thought that poison
was scattered over the entire
section of Roxboro. It is known
that the dogs ate something
j that caused their death. Val
uable dogs are now dead. Dogs
that were pets are dead - But -
a child might have picked up
the food that the poison was on
! and children might be dead
! today as a result.
This is the second time that
• this has happened in Roxboro
1 in. the last six months. It’s a
! very dangerous happening and
it’s up to the police force of
! this city to start to work. If any
1 person put out as much poison
| as was evidently put out there
’ must be some evidence left be
! hind and that evidence should
! be sifted down.
I
| Hail, the farmer’s fear at this
i time of the year visited Person
r County Wednesday. It was one
of the hardest hail storms for
thh season that is remembered.
Some places were hard hit and
as usual the storm cut a path
across one section of the coun
ty. It is too late to re-plant and
farmers who were hit can only
look at the damage, unless they
Jbad insurance.
