For at least 22 years, and possibly
reaching on up to the half century
mark, William Little Steele has vainly-
sought to Kill a deer. It was an am
bition that perhaps even he really had
no idea of attaining, but miracles
sometime happen; and one did hap
pen last Monday. On the annual
deer hunt at Council's, Mr. Steele got
his deer: We haven't learned the
size, but it would by now have assum
ed the size of a steer were it not that
he had a score of companions in camp
to check and double check on him.
Attending the hunt at Council's
thia week from Rockingham were
Henry Wall, D.n Phillips, William
Fielder, Robert Stansill, Wm. H. En

Mr. Steele's deer was not the only
one killed Monday. E. S. Rogerson
also killed a deer, and Walter Lam

THANKSGIVING DAY
Union Serrice ; Preshyteriaa Church.
Dear Mr. Editor: :
; Permit me to say a word about a
matter that concerns the people of
Rockingham and surrounding com
munities. I refer .to1 the-. Midway
mill community, ' - : '
. Perhaps it is generally known that
the Midway mill has been shut down'
for about six months, and that pre
ceding that time the mill was on a
half-time schedule for a year; Under
such conditions it has been a marvel
to many of us - that the" community
has held together,' and that, so far,
cases of real need have1 been so 'few
in number. The fact that the shut-
program Mown came during the ; summer
months has been "of some advantage.
The people had their gardens, no
fuel was necessary, the clothing , bill
was less, and some obtained work for
a few weeks in orchards, on the roads,'
and elsewhere.
But the coming winter, with no
employment in view, threatens need
on a wide scale among the three or
four hundred people of Midway.
Conferences with hem have revealed
the plain fact that, they are at the
end of their resources. Also, they
are very ; emphatic in sayhur that they
do tiot, wish to be - thrown.; on . the
charity of others. -Their plea is for
WORK.: Voicing their plea, ; Mr.;
Editor, .1 appeal .to all Y employers,
merchants, i eontraetdrs, county offi
cials, to give the workers of Midway
a place on the pay roll. In the pre
sent national distress of unemploy
ment, it is reasonable to appeal to
local employers first of all. for re
lief. The people of Midway will
either have to be given work or be
supplied with the necessiteis of. life
from - charitable sources. ; " i

REGIMENT PASSED TODAY
The 69th Coast Artillery, anti
aircraft regiment of 3 50 men and 1 5
officers, passed through Rockingham
this (Thursday), in 83 trucks and
cars and a number of " motorcycles,
en route from the Proving Ground
in Maryland to a new base at Ft.
McClellan, Alabama.' The distance
is 1924 miles; the regiment left
Aberdeen, Maryland, NovJ 13th, and
will reach Fort McClellan Dec. 2nd.
The outfit spent Wednesday night
at Aberdeen, 26 miles northeast of
Rockingham. The huge trucks be
gan, passing through Rockingham this
morning at 7 :20 o'clock, and then
continuously for a couple of hours
the big noise continued. Due to the
fact that work is being done on High
way 1, from the South Carolina Line
to Cheraw, the big trucks were de
toured westward by the Morrison
Bridge, and thence down through An
son into South Carolina."
