SUBSCRIPTION RATES : Om jm -$2.M Six matat $-S Tart SMfliki 75 JOB WORK A SPECIALTY The New York Times will double the size and capacity of its various departments in the course of the next few months by the erection of an eleven story building adjoining its pres ent building. It is planned to provide printing units, each of eight pages capacity, that may be coupled together to produce papers of any desired size. There probably will be sixty four of these units, which may be employed to produce . simul taneously 64 eight-page papers, 32 sixteen-page papers, 21 twenty-four page papers, 16 thirty two page paper?, 12 forty-page papers and, oi course, sucn in termediate sizes as may be re quired. The croduction capacity of this machinery may seem almost fabulous to the reader. For ex ample, if the Times printed only an eight-page newspaper it could turn out more than 40,000 copies a minute, or almost two and one- halt million copies an hour. Even a forty-page newspaper could be printed at the rate of 8,000 a minute.'or half a million anhour. The mind can har dly grasp the wonderfulness of such machin ery. When the writer edited The Grit at Siler City 13 years ago, he printed on an old George Washington lever hand press with a speed of some 250 anJhe went to fill the communion hour. We later graduated to a Country Campbell of 600 per hour, and then when we came to Rockingham we advanced ajstep further with a Babcock of 2000 per hour. And we thought this was moving some. But just think of machinery that can turn 'em out faster than you can even think ! A merry row is going on be tween Bladen and Columbus i Counties as to what route the Charlotte to Wilmington high way shall take. The Bladen folks insist that some 15 or 20 miles will be saved by following the Seaboard through that county, even though some of the swamps will have to be traversed. But the Columbus county folks are moving heaven and earth to have it routed by way of White- vjlle. Here is a sample of the bro therlv love, as "flung" by the Bladen Journal last week: "The News Reporter of Whiteviliesays that the highway if run through Bladen, wouldn't go near a town "entitled to the title." Well, we don't think tourists from the up country would care to go 20 miles out of the way for anything that Chad-, bourn and Wliiteville has to show them." E. C. Brooks announced eek that a chapter on the ican flag will be added to art book on civil govern to be taught in the North A Sanford woman, Mrs. Joe M. Thomas, aged 47, was knocked down and robbed oi $1200 in cash last Saturday night. 4ahe and her husband had saved un $1200 with which they were going to begin building a home on Mon day. They had counted the money and she had put it in a sack and tied it in her stocking and then went out to see that -the chickens were safe for the night when an unknown robber knocked her down, seized the sack of money and fled. He has not yet been captured. They live one mile east of Sanford. Good moral in this keep your money in a bank; dangerous to carry such sums arouriu1 with you, or even to keep it hid in your house. Best way to handle money anyway is by the use of checks. In this connection we might mention an item that appeared in the daily press a few days ago to the effect that Chicago bur glars and other crooks enjoyed a good year in that city in 1921, their loot being estimated at $3,974,326. Of this sum $636,887 was CASH. Keep your money in a bank, or a Building and Loan association. The South Carolina Legislature convened Tuesday, 10th, at Col umbia. The Wagram Mercantile Com pany, of Wagram, was on Dec. 30th adjudged bankrupt. The creditors will meet inLaurinburg 13th at 2:30. Lottie Pickford, sister of Mary, was married at Los Angeles Sat urday night to Alan Forrest, a movie actor. Mary was matron of honor, and Jack Pickford gave her away. Ten Elders of the Seventh Re formed church at Grand Rapids, Michigan, were poisoned at the morning service Sunday when they drank varnish that had been poured into a communion cup in the belief that it sacra mental wine. The church had been repaired and in the store room where the sacramental wine is kept in a jug several jugs of varnish used in the re-decorating had been stored. One of the church officials mistook a jug of varnish for a jug of wine when cup. The ten Elders were the first to drink the communion wine, and as each one drank he collapsed to the floor, until all ten were unconscious. They were rushed to a hospital, and two ot them are still in a critical condition. Dreary Sunday. With temperature around the freezing point most of the day and a drizzling rain falling, Rock inghom experienced its first real "freeze" of the winter last Sun day. Water on trees, shrubbery, house-tops and wires froze, form ing myriads of icicles. A slow drizzle fell during the day, but the weather moderated Sunday night and rain fell in str jnger force so that all signs of the freeze had vanished by Monday morning. But the overcast skies andlicy scenery were such that attendance at religious services were cut down considerably, and people generally kept indoors. Former Editor Here. i p. Scott Poole, editor of the Hoke County Journal at Raeford, was in Rockingham Tuesday shaking hands with friends. Mr. Poole lived here in 1903 and 1904, editing the old Anglo-Saxon, and from here going to Raeford where he established "Facts and Fig ures" later changing it to the Journal. PUSH ROCKINGHAM WARD.
