Iv,'n who in March last robbed the
nostoffiee here of $34,000 in Liberty
Lid and war saving stamps does
not talley with the fact?.
The account in the times states
ti at the robbers captured between
on the night of April 2; that the
otrhraan was baund and gagged;
ur rbp robbers captured between!
0 noo and $30,000 war saving
stanVps and Liberty bonds; that the
detectives found the two automobiles
deserted near Asheville.
The facts in the case are: The Ox
ford postoffice was robbed in March
and not on April 2, as the Times sta
tes" the watchman was not bound
and gagged as the Times stated; the
amount secured by the robbers was
$34.000 ; the car was abandoned at
Lvnchburg, Va., and not at Asheville.
"There is something remarkably
strange about the New York Times'
account of the robbery here. It is
a well known fact that the robbers
have looted 18 postoffices in the last
five years, all of them being of the
same type of vaults and safes as the
Oxford office. It is presumed that
the thieves worked in the factory
where this particular style of vaults
and safes were made.
The strange part of the narrative
is that the robbers should have been
captured in Brooklyn after robbing
the bank at Oxford Furnace. New Jer
sey,, a town the same size as Oxford,
N. C., and that the postoffice at that
place' was built the same year the
postoffice here was built. There is
little doubt that the same gang rob
bed both offices.
The following account from the
New York Times is interesting:
"Eight men and one 'woman, charg
ed with complicity in the robbery of
the Post Office at Oxford Furnace,
X C, on the night of April 2 last
were arrested yesterday afternoon in
a raid on a house in Sands Street,
Brooklyn, between Adams and Pearl

THE LAST HOURS OF .
MR. HOWARD DORSEY
WERE AS HE WISHED
He Said That He Hoped To Pass
Away Without a Struggle.
, Quite a number of the Granville
county veterans were in the Union
Station in Raleigh last week . when
Mr. Howard Dorsey died suddenly,
an account of which appeared in all
of the papers at, the time.
On their arrival in Raleigh, the
veterans had one hour at their dis
posal before the train pulled.out for
Fayetteville. Mr. Dorsey and Mr. "B.
I. Breedlove, who were close- friends
and enjoyed the confidence' of . each
other, decided to take a walk to the
capital square. On their. tfai: tp the
square Mr. Dorsey purchased a bag of
peanuts,, and while seated on a bench
in the square, feeding the peanuts to
the squirrels,. Mr. Dorsey placed his
nana to nis side and remarked to Mr.
Breedlove that he hoped that when
the Master called for him he would
pass away quietly. - ir.
on leaving the sauare for the
station Mr. Dorsey and Mr. Breed
love took tne shortest route. In
speaking of the incident Mr. Breed
love said that he believes that if
they had taken a longer route that
possibly Mr. Dorsey would have died
oetore . reaching the station. Mr.
Breedlove said that Mr. Dorsey did
not complain at all while he was with
him; that as soon as they reached the
station Mr. Dorsey took a seat, and
Mr. Breedlove passed through the
back door, and while standing under
the shed some one came out and told
him that Mr. Dorsey was dead. '
Mr. Breedlove returned to the room
and found Mr. Dorsey in the seat
where he left him only a minute be
fore. He was in an upright posi
tion with his head slightly bowed
forward,, and life was extinct 1
Mr. Dorsey wore a neat new vete
ran's uniform. Mr Breedlove said
that it reminded him of the battle
fields when they picked Mr. Dorsey
up and carried him from the station.

ton. ; This road is two and six-tenths
! (2.6) miles longer than the road hv
35 j Fairport but that part of the Wilton
6 road in Granville County is m much
better condition than the otherne
and the two bridges on this road are
both in reasonably good condition. I
saw Mr. B. T. Green at Franklinton
who is secretary of the township road
board and he promised to put their
road in condition. The Granville
County people also promised to put
their end of the road in good shape.
Everyone agreed that the Vance
County officials would not do any
thing on the three miles of the road
through Vance County. For these
reasons I think it better to make the
tour; over the road by Wilton."
Bullock's Endorsement.
The following is the letter of Mr.
Harvey Bullock, of Oxford, to Mr. B.
T. Green, Franklinton:
"Since inspecting the two routes
between Franklinton and Oxford I
am of the opinion that the road by
Wilton is the proper one to be used
in making the tor of the Bankhead
Highway. I, am recommending to
Col. Cameron that he use this road.
