"SHORT-CHANGER" COMES TO GRIEF Benme Botewell Goes to Halifax Jail Under Fire Hundred Collar Bond (or Shcrt Changing Local Merchants. Woman Companion Under One Hun dred Dollar Bond for Intimidating Witness. OTHER CASES IN RECORDER'S COURT Arraigned in Recorder's Court on last Tuesday morning charged with defrauding two local mer chants and attempting to defraud another by short changing opera tions, Bennie Bosewell was plac ed under five hundred dollar bond. Witnesses testified to the ingenfous plan used by the defen dant defrauding them, consisting of an initial purchase of a small amount, generally fifteen to twenty five cents, the tender in payment of a ten dollar bill, the subsequent proffer by the "custo mer" of the correct amount of change with the request for a five dollar bill in exchange for the small change given him by the clerk, the actual defrauding taking place with the abstraction of the five dollar bill so given and the request for the return of the original ten dollar bill, leaving the seller minus five dollars. It worked at the Roanoke Hardware Company and the grocery store of S. C. Cook, according to testi mony, but did not work at Tay or-Matthews Company and J. C. Smith's garage. Bosewell was accompanied by a female companion, giving her name as Macey Bosewell, and claiming to be his wife. Local authorities are inclined to be sceptical as to this. There was no direct evidence against Macey Bosewell and she was released, to be later arrested and placed under one hundred dollar bund on a charge of attempting intimi dation of lvey skew, one of the witnesses against Bosewell. This bail was furnished. Bosewell's parents reside in Portsmouth, Va., and informa tion reaching the authorities here is to the effect that they are responsible people in that city. Bail for Bosewell was furnished by his mother on Tuesday, but whether" Bosewell has yet been released is unknown. He is wanted on a similar charge in Enfield ' and Halifax and may have been rearrested on warrants issued in those towns. The police are informed that he is al so wanted in several other towns. Other cases disposed of during the week are as follows: Lewood Simmons, skipping board bill, was allowed to pay the bill and the costs and was dis charged. Russell House, riding a bicycle after dark without light or . bell, paid $1.00 and costs. Joe Riddle paid $15.00 and costs on a charge of being drunk and disorderly. R. F. Burt and Charlie Sadler, charged by W. G. Gibson with the larceny from hirn of $70.00, were released on account of in sufficient evidence. Democratic Voters Precinct Meetings Meetings of the Democratic voters of Roanoke Rapids Town ahip will be held on Saturday, April 8, 1922, at 2:00 P.

Long, Chairman Precinct No. 1 s W. J. Norwood, Chairman Precinct No. 2 A Friend In Need When you have done your best apd yet conditions prevent you from accomplishing your object it is wonderful to know that you have a friend or friends who stand ready to lend a helping hand. Evidence of their willing ness to help, when there is need, is being continually brought to the attention of the StafT at the State Sanatorium. A few months ago a young man in one of our larger cities was told that he had tuberculosis and that unless he secured proper treatment at once the trouble would grow steadily and speodily worse and he would die. The man was the head of. a family and he had not saved suf ficient funds to take treatment at an expensive sanatorium. He did, however, have enough to pay the cost of board and treat ment at the State Sanatorium for a few months. The young man was admitted, placed under treatment and was making splen did progress on the road to re covery when he exhausted his resources. This was a very critical period in this man's life. He was looking well and feeling well and with a few more months of treatment he would be well lhe btate, however, requires that all patients at the Sanator ium shall pay a certain amount toward their maintenance and it looked as if the man would have to return home before his treat ment was complete. His employer, who is head of a large corporation, learned of his condition and gave an opportun tunity to his fellow employees to assist financially. Hivery em ployee connected with the cor poration from watchman to gen eral superintendent gave cheer ! 11 1 YI . A 1 iuny ana sunicient lunds were secured to continue treatment for as long as the physician in charge recommended. This means not only that the man's life will be saved but when he returns home he will not be a menace to his family and friends. The benefit of Sanatorium treatment is therefore many fold. Nature has a way of elimina ting the unfit and unless we bring.up reserves in the way of fresh air, gooa food and proper medical attention to assist na ture the fight is sure to be de cided in ,favur f the enemy tuberculosis. The case mention ed here is just one among many. At this time there are 26 patients at the State Sanajorium who are having their expenses paid by friends or organizations of var ious kinds. The major portion of this number receive free treatment as a result of funds secured by the sale of Tubercu losis Christmas Seals last Decem ber. p. R. H. S. To Play Norfolk Saturday At 3:30 next Saturday after noon the Roanoke Rapids High School ivill play the South Nor folk team on the Rosemary dia mond. A Rood game is promised. The team has been changed some and, while the team has been playing in hard luck, there is promise of a material improvement from now on, so everybody come out and see the boys get started in a winning stride.

GLADYS LEA, SOPRANO, SINGS HERE APRIL 18 Miss Gladys Lea, of Danville, Va., a young soprano of wonder ful promise will sing at High School Auditorium on Tuesday evening, April lath. Miss Lea is a protege and student of Ma dame Calve, the famous Metro politan prima donna, and expects to accompany Madame Calve to Europe this summer and study under her for some time. That the community is fortu- nate in being able to have Miss Lea is evidenced by what the critics have said of some of her recent concerts. "Her voice is a natural soprano of rare quality. She employs it intelligently and effectively. " Musical Courier. "Miss Lea more than fulfilled expectations. She achieved a genuine triumph. She earned approval for the artistic quality of her hearers. Miss Lea simply captured a critical and discrimi nating Bethlehem audience." Bethlehem Times. "She showed thorough training and a developed power of inter pretation. Her charming soprano gave her hearers delight and a sense of immense potentiality." -Fullerton Waldo, Philadelphia ublic Ledger. "Dr. J. Fred Wolle, creator and conductor of the Bach Choir, gave an enjoyable organ recital last evening at Lehigh Univer sity assisted by Gladys Lea, so prano. It was Miss Lea's first appearance and she displayed most excellent qualities as a vo calist and concert performer." Bethlehem Globe. A song recital by Miss Gladys Lea is a refreshing breeze from her native Southland, fascinating in the Negro Spirituals, but not ess charming m the Folk Songs, Chansons, and Old English Bal- ads. Nature has given her youth, voice and intelligence; but the greatest of these is intelli gence; but Training has added flexibility, enunciation and poise. She is only at the beginning; but with her personality dominant, above the mere technicalities of the vocal art, I predict a career of distinction. 1 Fred Wolle, Conductor of Bach Choir. Bethlehem, Pa, Oct 13, 1919. ' North Carolina Imports Too Much Food and Feed North Carolina imported in 19113 food and feed products of a value more than $235,000,000, ac cording to figures which have just been compiled from census reports under the direction of E, u Branson, head of the Depart ment of Rural Economics of the University of North Carolina, The average prices of food pro duction in 1920 were higher than at the present time, but even at that the recent conservative esti mate by John Paul Lucas that North Carolina was sending out of the state not less than $100, 000,000 a year for these products is shown to be ultra-conservative In fact, Lucas states frankly that he is a "piker" when comes to estimating how foolish the farmers of North Carolina have been in their agricultural policy. The University News Letter of April 3rd is featuring the "Live-at-Home" campaign and Dr. Branson is quoting in his pre sentation of the present situation in North Carolina with regard to the production of food and feed stuffs from studies and investi gations by Prof. F. S. Hobbs and Miss H. R. Smedes. In referring to the position of North Carolina as fourth in the value of our field crops, the state ment is made that "we have con fused crop wealth with agricul tural wealth because crop farm ing is so nearly universal with us. We are not the fourth larg est producer of agricultural wealth, because as a livestock state we are one of the poorest developed in the entire Union. Only about one-fourth of our new farm wealth created each year comes from the sale of live stock and livestock products. The status of the eastern half of North Carolina, the great tenant, cash-crop, area, as a livestock region is pitiful." It is shown that while there has been something accomplished in the way of breed improvement in North Carolina, the state is really no better off in the matter of livestock production than it was in 1910, at which time it was 75 per cent below the level of even a lightly stocked farm area. One third of our farmers eat no butter and drink no milk, and of course are providing no milk for their growing children, be cause they have no milk cows. owa with fewer farmers has four times as many cows and these are of better.quality. Less than half the farmers of the state grow sweet potatoes or family use and a much small er .lumber grow Itish potatoes. We import more wheat than we produce and one-half of the far mers in the state in 1920 pro duced no hay or forage for their work-stock. "The simple truth," says Pro fessor Hobbs, "is that thousands of our farmers do not begin to feed their family and livestock. eople on these farms live on short rations, especially in lean years. Their diet is ill-balanced and insufficient. They are un dernourished, their children badly fed and their physical de velopment stunted." Farm people should be the best fed of all people. They should and could have a well balanced diet, with just a little attention to food production. Every farm in our state should feed itself first. Our farmers would produce surpluses for sale in our towns and cities if only our towns and cities would settle the local market problem for home-raised food and feed sup plies. Instead the people of North Carolina spend 235 million dollars a year for imported food and feed supplies. Neglecting home-raised food crops and buy ing farm supplies of this sort with cotton and tobacco money is a hopeless way of getting rich and getting on and up in the world. We have tried it for 70 years and we ought to know by this time." 4 When the boll weevil comes, we'll produce our own food sup plies or we'll go hungry in North Carolina. It is Hobson's choice." the Simultaneous revival services are being held in the Churches of the community and a splendid interest is being shown. Rev. R. D. Stephenson, of Norfolk, is conducting the services in the Roanoke Rapids Baptist Church. Rev. E. L. Flar .;f Wilson, is the spe '. . , at the Presby to: lanCh.. Rev. R. H. Broom, the pastor, is preach ing at the Methodist Church. In the Episcopal Church services are held in the homes and four days during the week in the Church. Next week services will be held morning and night in the Church by Rev. Lewis N. Taylor. In the Methodist Church in Rosemary, Rev. E. N. Harri son the pastor, is holding the ser vices and at the Baptist Church, Rev. Fred N. Day, of Winston Salem, is preaching. The at tendance has been very gratify ing and it is hoped that the peo ple of the community will avai themselves of the opportunities that are offered them to licit their spiritual life. POWELLTOVVN ITEMS Miss Sallie Parsons spent the C. week-end at Hobgood, N. visiting friends. Misses Emma Dunn and Helen Powell went to Weldon Friday afternoon. Miss Annie Cherry made a visit to South Rosemary School Tuesday. Miss Georgia Thoroughgood spent Sunday at Vaughan, N. C. Don't forget the debate Friday night at South Rosemary School. Mrs. J. E. Pearson has been 11 this past week. The pupils of Miss Thorough- good's toom enjoyed a picnic down on Rhea Creek Saturday. Those that enjoyed this occasion were Richard Brown, Lewis Johnson, Edward Rhea, Mattie Hudson, Helen Pearson, Lelia Williams, Alice Harrison, Susie Massey, Luther lvey, Gladys vey, Grady Pearson, Sam Brown, Julia Griffin, Ethel Cooke, Mabel Rook, Edna Tickle, Lily Edmund- son. Facts About Fliea Flies reproduce very rapidly a new generation being produced every ten days at summer temperature. A female fly lays on an average 120 eggs every ten days, thus we may have count ess millions coming from a single fly during one season. Allowing 28S0 flies to the ounce it has been estimated that the total product of a single fly in 40 days will be 810 lbs. of flies pro vided only one half of them ive. Hence the logical time to swat the fly is early spring. Let's cooperate in the clean up move ment and kill as many flies as possible by destroying the breed ing places, and by swatting the early fly. The fly is the spreader of filth and disease, and is an enemy to man, let's get in a few good swats and prevent millions more this summer. CARD OF THANKS We wish to take this oppor tunity of expressing our sincere thanks to those friends and neighbors whose sympathy and assistance were so freely given during the illness and death of our son, R. L. Bishop, Jr. Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Bishop Rosemary Business Men to Clean Up Mr. R. D.
