Diphtheria Case
At Bethel Hill
Fourteen Year Old Girl Said
To Be 111 With Disease.
Seventh diphtheria case in Person
county since last Fall has been re
ported to the Person Health depart
ment from the Bethel Hill section,
it was announced yesterday. The
new r victim is said to be a fourteen
year old girl, student in Bethel Hill
school, w’ho is not seriously ill and
has for private physician a Dr.
Bohannon, of Virgilina, Va. Name
of the girl was not released by the
Department because of a technicali
ty, failure to get permission for so
doing from her parents.
The other six cases of diphtheria
here in the past few months occur
red mostly before the Christmas hol
idays and there were two deaths,
both small children. Bethel Hill
case reported yesterday is second
case for the season in the Bethel
Hill community and the fact that
two cases have occurred there is
taken as an indication that the com
munity has had few immunizations.
In order to cope with the diph
theria situation the Health Depart
ment maintains a clinic on Monday
afternoons from two to four o'clock
and on "Saturday mornings from
nine to twelve noon and it is urged
that all persons who have not had
immunizations, particularly young
children, take steps to receive shots
at once. At least two injections are
required for prevention of diphtheria.

Tom Pulliam Os Hyco Section
Has Been Missine Since
January 26th.
Members of his family, together
with the Sheriff and Roxboro police,
are on the lookout for Tom Pulliam,
76, Negro resident of Person county
on the farm of Mrs. Betty Lou
Hester. The aged Negro, who disap
peared on the night of Saturday,
January 26, was last seen standing
by the roadside near the Hester
farm about ten miles from Roxboro
on highway fifty-seven close to Hy
co river.
Sons of Pulliam came to Roxboro
Monday to notify Sheriff M. T.
Clayton. Police Chief George C.
Robinson and others of his disap
pearance. An intensive search was
begun at once and is being con
tiued, accordig to Sheriff Clayton,
who visited the Hester farm again
yesterday morning and came back
after a fruitless search in which
forty to fifty citizens assisted.
Many of these citizens are continu
ing the lookout and covering a wide
range of territory.
Pulliam, who walks with a stick,
weighs about 140 pounds, is of me
dium brown complexion and when
last seen was wearing a blue over
all suit and black hat. It is re
ported that he came to Roxboro on
the afternoon of Saturday, January
26, talked to one of his sons. Joe
Pulliam, here about three o’clock
that afternoon, told him he was
going 4 bqme t«y-*£e Hestejp-farm by
bus and left on one about six-thirty
o'clock that night.
Driver for the bus, which runs
between here and Danville, report
ed he put the aged Negro off at
the highway close to the Hester
farm and another driver, operating
a bus from Danville to Roxboro, said
he saw Pulliam standing near the
same spot but on other side of
the highway about fifteen minutes
later, that Pulliam attempted to
stop this bus which was headed to
ward Roxboro. This driver also as
serted he did not stop to pick Pul
liam up, the reasons being that the
bus was full and Pulliam was on
the wrong side of the highway, t
No reason is known by his family
as to why Pulliam might have
wanted to return to Roxboro, but
they do know this was the last time
he was seen, about seven o’clock
that night. The missing man has
recently not been in good health
and his family fears he may have
become ill and wandered off, pos
sibly to die from over exposure. He
lived with a married daughter, Mrs.
Martha Pulliam Lawson.
It is reported he had a fainting
spell last October w’hile on a visit j
tq Roxboro. He is said to have had
between thirty and forty dollars
on him at time he disappeared.
His wife is dead. Sons and daugh
ters, each of whom wishes to be
notified in case any clus are devel
oped are, Ralph, of the Rueben
Jackson farm, West, Fountain and
Joe, of the Louis Wagstaff farm,
and Jack, of Bridgeport, Conn. Mrs.
Lawson, of the Hester farm, Mrs.
Helen P. Pulliam, of highway 149,
three miles from Roxboro, and Mrs.
Mary P. Rogers, of Norristown,
Penn. No informatidn has been re
ceived from the Bridgeport son or
the Norristown daughter, neither
one of whom has been notified that
their father is missing, but it is
not believed by the family here
that he is in either of these out of
State towns.
Persons who have any information
whatsoever about the missing man
are requested to report to Sheriff
Clayton or Chief Robinson at once.

Is There New
Beer Firm Here?
Ls there a new bottling company
or beer distributor in Roxboro?
; That is the question which is being

ered some equipment from a Greens
boro wholesale house. Hie Greens
boro firm has the order, but cannot
find its tnan here or the business
with which he is connected. One j
item ordered was a crate hauler.
Representative from Greensboro
was a Mr. Jones, according to W.
Wallace Woods, of the Chamber, of
Commerce and the order was taken
for the B. and T. Bottling company, j
Roxboro. Persons having any in
formation are requested to notify
Mr. Woods, who does not under
stand how a new business could
come to Roxboro without his knowl- :
edge. A check of the Sheriff's office. !
so he says, reveals no new permit;
issued for the sale of beer.

NUMBER 19
Local Education Board Sends
Telegrams To State Board.
Closing Time Also In
volved.
Expected to be either settled or
I else stirred up to a further degree
in Raleigh this afternoon is matter
of payment of back salaries to school
1 teachers, an issue in which the Per
son County Board of education lias
apparently taken the lead by going
■ on record as being in favor of pay
ment of teacher salaries delayed by
weeks of closed schools due to
muddy roads. ,
Tlie issue is to be thrashed out
today in a session of the State Board
of education to which the Person
board has dispatched strong tele*
grams of protest over the unfair
' ness oi expecting teachers to con
tinue to live without pay. Also incor
porated in the person messages is
j a statement showing that schools
i cannot be expected to operate much
j beyond May 20, in a farming county
such as this one is,
Gathered in Raleigh today ar<s
superintendents and leaders in
schools from twenty-eight counties
leading from Wake to the west, and
all faced with the same problems
'of payments and closing dates, but
; it is believed that the Person tele
grams which were sent yesterday
after a Tuesday night emergency
session of the local board, were
among the first, if not the only mes
sages dispatched in the State.
Tlie telegrams, each identical in
; wording, were sent to Lt. Gov. L. Y.
(Stag! Bnllentine, chairman of tlj£
State board, to Comptroller Paul
.' Reid and to State Superintendent
Clyde Erwin, who is also secretary to
the board, it was revealed by Person
Superintendent R B. Griffin, who
was in Raleigh this morning for a
nine-thirty conference with the
1 above named officials.
Text of the telegrams is as follows:
“Person schools closed five to ‘
j eighteen days due to road conditions.
Request teachers be paid for time
lost through no fault of their own.
Teaching after May 20, too late for
this farming county. Saturday teach
jing lias not proved satisfactory.”
Signers of the messages are E.
E. Bradsher, Sr., chairman, Dr,
John Fitzgerald, Clyde T. Satter-'
Held, Robert L. Hester and Claud*
i T. Hall.
Mr. Griffin yesterday in comment
| ing on the situation said that in
some counties the loss of teaching
days has been as high as twenty
six. A neighboring county included
in the twenty-eight at the confer
ence is Caswell, where the superin
tendent is Holland McSwain. The
| payment issue revolves around the
fact that under present laws teach
ers must teach as many as twenty
consecutive days in each school
month before they can be paid.
The matter was at first discussed
in the Courier-Times several weeka
| ago after it was discovered that
some county teachers have received
no salary checks since the middle of
December. Relief through loans td
teachers is being offered by Peoples
; bank. Equally strong protests hava
come from the Greensboro Daily
News and from Durham county
teachers, but it is believed that th«
situation was first brought to publlo
attention in Person county.
