A map of Rapides (now familiar
ly known to the most of us as
Roanoke Rapids) has been unearth
ed by one of the city’s foremost
collectors. The document is reput
ed to have been made (drawn by
hand) in 1827, one hundred and
thirteen years ago. It shows the
estates, Rapides, Weldon, railroad,
the old canal, the river. This col
lector said that the map should by
all means belong to the city of
Roanoke Rapids, but that the man
who owns it is not inclined to sell.
In Sunday School class the the
ory of relativity came up. Frank
Hawley said that such theories
would cause institutions like that
at Dix Hill to increase in great
numbers.
Heard one of the policemen say
the other day that no one ever
gave them a good word. He said
that when their names were men
tioned it was “That so and so
cop” in tones that tell as much as
the spoken words. Well, the po
licemen are doing a job that not
many of us would do for love or
money. Their work is in the public
eye at all times, yet it is dismissed
With a glance. Not many of those
who would belittle the officers
have had heart to heart talks with
them, I venture to say. For when
one does talk to them, he finds
them congenial fellows, with the in
terest of his fellowman at heart.
—o—
in my ooservations nere and
there it seems that the man who
tries to impress as being the big
gest is after all the least; and that
the man who belittles his own ef
forts is the greatest among all.
You know some of us live and
live and live . . . never to learn
what it is all about. The sadness
connected with this truth is that
we never try to learn same.
Chief Dobbins said last week that
the snow would not be so much
trouble to move if there were a
number of people who needec’ their
yards or lots filled up.
There is something about a
■’steam’' sfeovel. Men from all walks
of life have taken a bit of their
time, valuable or invaluable, to
pause and watch the shovel on the
new Crew building at its job. And
we wonder if more of that "some
thing” would not make men’s lives
happier and longer.
I staked Ned Manning if people
like Dr. Richardson, who was guest
minister at the Presbyterian
Church last Sunday, were ever con
fronted with the question of what
the future holds, if they are wor
ried about their jobs, about their
success. Ned said, “No. Such men
are beyond the worries of the av
erage man.” If being a great man
would bring a cessation to worry
ing about coal bills, doing the job
correctly, keeping up the social
front, I would that I were a great
man.
An archery class is in process of
getting started at the local high
school. It is under the direction of
Nathan Reynolds. And who knows,
With world-wide conditions as they
are, such practice may come in
handy—what with odr running out
of powder and lead at some future
critical moment.
Mr. Wyehe, was telling of stop
ping at the Cherokee Reservation
and purchasing a bow and arrow
for a small iboy. That reservation
is another tl ing everyone should
put on his “must see” list. It is 1
the North Carolinian’s best chance
to see the real American, that peo
ple we stole our land from.

Clinic For
Northampton
Co. Children
\
About 115 pupils from the schools
of Northampton County were X
rayed for tuberculosis at the Roa
noke Rapids Hospital Wednesday
of this week. Reports on the pic
tures will be in the hands of the
Northampton County Health De
partment in about three weeks, it
is said.
The children were brought to the
hospital as a result of tuberculin
tests given last November, the chil
dren receiving positive reactions
being examined further for the
-
Wednesday of this week was set
for the colored children of North
ampton, but the snow necessitated
a postponement of plans.
The clinic was in charge of Dr.
Parker, Northampton County
health officer. He was assisted by
technicians from the state sanito
rium, Harold Satterthwaite and
Harry Timoerlake, the latter for
merly of Northampton County.
County nurses, Misses Idell Buchan
and Hilda Cavlness, assisted in the
clinic also.
In an interview Miss Buchan said
that 115 positive reactions among
the total number of children *h the
schools of the county is about an
average percentage. She said that
no one is able to predict the num
ber that will have tuberculosis out
of a group of children who react
to the tuberculin tests.

LAND BROS.
FIRE IN
VIRGINIA
Land Brothers, who operate a
Jewelry store in this city and Em
poria, Virginia, suffered consider
able loss because of a fire at their
third store in Front Royal, Virginia,
early Monday morning.
The blaze was said to be at
tributed to fumes collecting in a
boiler of the furnace in the build
ing they occupy in the Virginia
town. The fire started about two
o’clock Monday morning. Estimat
ed loss will not exceed $1,000, ac
cording to Wyche Land, junior
partner of the firm and manager of
the city store. The most valuable
stock carried by the store was
locked up in a fireproof safe, it is
said. /
Land Brothers established their
Front Royal, Virginia, store about
two years ago. It is managed by
S. E. Rainey, who formerly worked
for the company in Emporia and
Roanoke Rapids. The store is a
gain doing business as usual, after
replenishing their stock and re
pairing damage done to fixtures,
young Land said today.
