I Roxboro Has Already Sold
This Year More Than En
tire Sales In 1943.
I Boost for the Roxboro market,
which has as of today sold over
six and a half million pounds in
the 1945-46 season, was given here
last week by Traynham T. Mitchell,
warehouseman and Rotarian, who
spoke at his club at Hotel Roxboro
Thursday night and cited figures
to show that the Roxboro mart has
increased its sales in five years
from three million to eight million
pounds, with even brighter prospects
I for the current year.
Sales for the last two days of last
week, Thursday and Friday, on the
basis of a report received this
morning, reached 436,704 pounds at
an average of 546.80, one of highest
for the season, while average for the
season is shown to be $43 31 for
; 6,600,000 pounds.
| Discussing the Roxboro market,
i Mr. Mitchell said Thursday night
j that the total this year may go tc
nine or fen million dollars, which
I he thinks, is quite a contrast to 3,-
1 430,000 pounds at $16.75, reported
i here in 1940. The climb in 1941
| was 3,980,000 pounds at S3O, while
iin 1942, figures stood at 4,996,000
i at $41.31.
i Next jump, in 1943, saw 6,576,000
| pounds at $42.90. The speaker also
; drew interesting parallels between
I the increase in the weed crop grown
j here and sold here and asserted
I that if the sales growth of the
j next five years could keep step with
j the sales increase of the past five
| years, the future is indeed bright
He indicated that the sales increase
stands at about iorty-five percent
i over what it was five years ago.
Mr. Mitchell, who spoke briefly,
did not go into all of the reasons
for tlie good growth ot file Roxboro
j mart, but he did say that more and
| more of Person tobacco and of to
( bacco from counties
must be drawn to the local mart,
j Presiding at the club was Dr. John
j Fitzgerald, president. Tabled un
til next time was a motion to change
I time of meeting of the club.

Washington, Nov. ■— The Camp

! time, Maj. Gen. Norman T. Kirk,
the army's surgeon general, has no
tified Sen. Josiah W. Bailey.
Kirk informed Bailey that with
the end of the war, the need for
army hospital facilities has dimin
ished rapidly and that in anticipa
tion of this, he had a detailed study
made of all army hospitals in rela

Against Law To
Shoot Firecrackers
In City Limits
Chief of Police George C. Robin
son. stated last week that it was
against, the law to shoot firecrackers
in the city limits or, Roxboro or to
have them in your possession.
Robinson issued this warning in
view of the fact that firecrackers
were being sold near the city and
that there had already been several
violations of law.
H.e also stated that more than a
dozen people had been arrested so
far for shooting the firecrackers and
that ijolice were under orders to ar
lest any violators of the town law.
A majority of the arrests were
made Halloween night when kids
, around the city took the night off
! lor celebrations of one kind or the
other.
i A mistaken idea, said Robinson,
, was the one that you could shoot
t firecrackers in the city limits if you;
j j were on your own property.

Rise In Milk
Prices Forecast
Raleigh.—Charles F. Cates, of
Mebane, president of the North Car
olina Milk Producers association j
and a member of the state board of I
agriculture, said here today that j
“there is going to be a general in-!
crease in the price of milk next 1
year.” o $:
Cates said that “with the loss of
government feed subsidies to the
dairy farmer next spring, and the
increased cost of labor, I fail to see
how we can have anything but an
increase in the price of fluid milk.”
The price of butter will greatly
increase, he said, because of the re
cent withdrawal of subsidies on
butter.
The labor shortage affecting the
dairy industry probably will con-!
tlnfie, he said, because “few of the!
men coming back from the armed
forces are going back to the farm.
They are looking for easier and
more remunerative jobs."

spider, thrips, and aphids with DDT

Person Ledder In
House NotTo Run
R. P. Burns, of this city, for three
terms Person representative in the
General Assembly, Raleigh, an
nounced this morning that he will
not again be a candidate for this
position, his decision being based
upon tlie fact that his brother, A.
M. Burns, Jr., has been designated
as Clerk of Superior Court.
In making announcement of his
decision not to seek the office of
representative, Mr. Burns says he
is leaving the legislature because of
a sense of propriety, feeling that
both he and his brother should not
thus be in service of the county at
the same time.
Included in the R. P. Burns state
ment, published below, is a state
ment of appreciation for support
given to him by the public, a tri
bute to the late R. A. Bullock, clerk
of the court and a word of appre
ciation over the selection of A. M.
Burns, Jr., as the new clerk, an
appointment made by Judge Leo
Carr, of Burlington.
The R. P. Burns statement reads: I

R. B. Dawes does a lot of hunting but he never kills any birds.
A few years ago he came to see me and asked if I ever hunted any.
I told him that I was not hunting much. Then he asked if he could
borrow my gun which was much lighter than the one he had. If
I wasn't going to use the gun and did not mind lending it he would
certainly appreciate it end would see to lt that I got a few birds in
return for 'the favor, if he killed any.
That was three years ago and I haven't even had any bird gravy
much less any bird meat. However, I understand that there are
plenty of birds this year and I also think that he has a few shells.
I know that Dawes has not killed any for the past three years or I
would have got some but this year will be different.

! Duke Professor
Creates Word
London.—A new word—“genocide"
s— has made its appearance in the
! indictment of the German war crim- j
1 Inals by the united nations, and the j
London Times says that the word j
was coined by Professor Raphael•
Lemkin of Duke university at Dur- j
ham. N C.
Count three of the indictment of
the 24 Germans reads in part that:
the defendants “conducted deliber-j
ate and systematic genocide, viz.,,
the extermination of racial and na
tional groups, against the civilian j
population of certain occupied coun
tries." Because the word “genocide"
is unknown to current lexicons, the ;
I drafters of tlie indictment felt it
ecessary to explain after the "viz.."
the content of the specified crime.
The word is coined from the Greek
"genos." meaning race or clan, and !
obtains its lethal import from tlie |
use ot the Latinderived suffix
“cide."
