CLEAN UP DAYS August 5th and Ctli Manager Faison Busily Making Separa tions for Festivity Urges Co operation of Citizens WHY NOT HAVE PAVED STREETS? Next Wednesday and Thurs day, Anient t h and tit It. are likely to see scenes of vigorous and determined activity. Clean Up Days are coming and Mana ger Faison announces that he will soon have all preparations made to handle the town's side of the work. Wagons and carts are are being chartered, begged and borrowed. If the individual citizen will do his or her part they may rest as sured that the Clean Up Hay Campaigners will do theirs. Roanoke Rapids has splendid cimnces of becoming one of the 1)PSt (Joking. towll, in tie Statei Hfir natu,.ai advantages are all that could be asked. Cleanliness ami (,rier wiu () lne rest Citizens are asked to clean up their premises and pile all ruh- bishi etc in the alleys back of tnPjr respective residences, Carta wi haul it all away; alleys will ,e c.eaned ,, an(i the entire tmvn will lie PiL.aner, healthier ancj iiapi,jer. After the town is cleaned up. there is one thing more needed tn niap it a,r,,a.t ,,f other ,,ro- passive towns in the State of the same si.e and that is paved sidewalks. Every foot the sj,lewalks in thf business section of the town ouclit to be paved and the sidewalks, say, on Ra- noke Avenue to the corporate Hmito nf thp t(Vvn Hamilton Street from First to Fourth ,(;ra,iedSchool, Jackson St. from Second to Third and First. Se cond, and Third, Streets from Hamilton to Jackson. The cost of putting in these sidewalks would not be prohibitive by any means and we believe the Town Commissioners could put the thing through with very little trouble. We hereby recommend this matter to the attention of the Hoard of Trade as one of the worst needed improvements that con lit he made in the town. To put in the few sidewalks suggest ed would not require the passage of sidewalk bonds. Half of the cost could be raised by direct as sessment of the property improv ed and the balance could be hor- rowed on bonds issued by t ie " Town Commissioners and paid " back out of the regular tax funds of the town. Of course, the tax rate would have to be raised " slightly todo this, but the immense advantages to be derived from the paved sidewalks and the en " hanced value of the property abutting on the sidewalks would certainly amply justify the in crease in the tax rate and we k feel sure the property owners in- " volved would be more than will- " ing to defray their half of the 1 cost. 1 I,et's hear from the Board of 0 Trade. 1 0 For Legislature J I hereby announce myself a candidate for the House of Re presentatives from the county of Halifax, subject to the action of the Democratic Primaries to be held on the (ith day of August.

First National Bank Building Neais Completion and work nn Brick Store liuilding and Hotel at Rose mary being rushed forward. NO SIGNS OF ABATING The era of building activity ushered in with the hceiimiii' ot the work on the new Fit -l Na tional Bank Building ami the Horner building U-tween Mr-;. K. Jenkins and the pre en t I ir t National Bank, shows no signs of abating. As the work on the 1 ii t tional Bank Building and I h dition to the W. D, Tilb-ry I ing nears complet'on, eroui . -u-a.l-lild-I is being broken for a three sinre, two story, brick store building being erected next to the FiiYt National Bank Building. This building is being erected by Messrs. Horner, Wyche, and Long ami will be followed in the near future, we understand with the erection of at least three and possibly four new store buildings between the First National Bank and Mrs. K. Jenkin This prop erty will soon consi-t of one continuous line of stores. In Rosemary the work on the three store, two story, brick store building, on LTuuioke Ave nue, opposite the Rosemary Theatre is being pushed rapidly forward. Long before buildim.1; opera tions now under way are com pleted other building-; will lie started. The addition to the present graded schonl building in Roanoke Rapids and the new graded school , building to erected in Roseman will be be started sometime this fall. A non-resident in Roanoke Rapids is contemplating the erection of ten residences fur rent and it is very probable this winter will see woi that k on these buildings started. Work on Mr. W. L. Long's new residence on Hamilton Ave nue is well under way and this handsome residence will be com pleted early in the fall. The end of the building' bonin is nowhere in sight, and there seems to be no slackening of the demand for store room. Part of the new store building next to the bank has already been leased and there are dozens of applica tions for the other two stores.

TWO CONVICTS ESCAPED FROM STATE FARM Freedom For Earl Cotton and Franklin Mills who Escaped from the State Farm Last Saturday Morning Doesn't Last Long. Only One Day of Liberty. WERE RECAPTURED IN WELDON Earl Cotton, who began a thir ty year sentence in the state Pri- iim on Anril MX 1!-I(U f,,r seeniut degree murder in the case of the killing on November 14. Jims, in the red light district of Raleigh, of Dr. E. W. Smith, a traveling manoi uicnmonu, aim riamum Mills, the Jackson Training school youth who was o.t July 11 sentenced to two years m the State Prison on the charge of robberv on a grand scale in Ra- leigh, made their escapes from the State Prison farm in Halifax county early Saturday morning by cutting with a pair of plyers their way through the wire stock- a' it: i l i i i- ade of the hospital where they were confined on the sick list. After their escape they came to Weldon, where they were cap- tured and returned to the State - I arm at lillery. Cotton was first taken Satur day night by John Rhem and Night Policeman Hughes. Rhem knew Cotton and met him on the . t:o. i rZ w ' r:L r captured and both men are now back in camp, Cotton is a man of about twenty nine years of age. He is six feet and half an inch in height. Mills who at one time traveled under an alias of John Hender- son is a fifteen year old boy.' Both of the men had discarded their convict garbs and looked just like many other men ot or- dinary appearance when they reached Weldon. John Rhem, who is a son o? Capt Rhem, superintendent of the State farm, deserves much credit for the re turn of Cotton to t he State farm. But for his recognition of Cotton perhaps the men would have made goiid their escape. - Roa noke News.
