WOMAN'S DAY FOR B!G CAROLINA SHOW Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt and Other Leading Woman Invited Septem ber 28th. Charlotte, Sept. 14.—"Woman's Day" at the Made-in-Carolinas Expo sition at Charlotte was designated for September 28, at a meeting here of the Citizenship Committeee of the Charlotte Woman's club, the Citi zens Committee of the Exposition, and the heads of the various Meck lenburg County women's civic and patriotic organization. The idea of "Woman's Day" at the Exposition originated with the Charlotte Wom an's club, and was presented for the club's consideration and commenda tion by Mrs. William T. Shore, pres ident of the club. It was unanimously ^decided to make a luncheon, to be given at the Chamber of Commerce, the biggest feature of the day. To this the women have invited Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, one of the best known women in the United States, who has just returned from an eight months' tour of Europe and South America. Special j invitations have been ex tended Mrs. Edith Vanderbilt, pres ident of the North Carolina State Fair Association; Miss Ida Morrison, sister of Gpv. Cameron Morrison, and Mrs. Thomas G. McLeod, wife of Gov. Thomas G. McLeod of South Caroli na. VANDALS DESTROY MANY SIGNBOARDS Erected By the Business Men Of Oxford.

' ' , ' . , . , ! 77/E OXFORD SCHOOLS There seems to be a lack of } information on the part of some I i^eopie regarding the supervision i of the children who come to the } .^Oxford schools on trucks. It is i time that the primary children get out at 12:30 P. M., but one of the primary teachers r-ernmns at the building until after three o clock in the afternoon especial ly to look after the country children, hr mild weather we require the children to stay out I of doors because nt is best for them, but in cold or rainy weath er the children are supervised in the building. The teachers have done this work conscientiously and cheerfully and the people should know that it is being done. We feel that the country children have helped the Oxford schools and we know that they have been helped by the training w hich they have received here. C. G. CREDLE, Sup. MOONSHINE STILL Officers Bragg and Newton Make a Haul In Oak Hill. While standing at the soldiers j monument at the head of Main street! last Wednsday, Constable Ernest! N. Bragg heard rumblings out among} the hills in Oak Hill township. He! called Deputy Newton in North Gran-} ville and asked him- what caused the} commotion. "Come at once/' said officer New-; ton at the other end of the wire. The officers invaded a heavy body} of woodland in the northern part of j the township, and after dilligenti search located a fifty galloy capacity} still ready to be put into commission j at any moment.

Washington, Sept. 14.—Farmers who have been asked to invest in' methods for producing illuminating { and fuel gas from distillation of ! straw, are warned by the Depart- } ment of* Agriculture to be on their } guard. Tests conducted by depart- i ment chemists for several years ap- i pear to show that destructive distil- { lation of straw or other cellulos ma- ! terial for the production of gas on a ' commercial basis is so far impractic- ! al. Much of the advertised literature i circulated among framers exploiting j various gas producing plans for ru- : ral use have implied that these plans [ have received the endorsement of the I department, and many complaints j have been received. jCOOLIDGE GIVES UP i j A HARDING POLICY j } A special from Washington says: ! } The first of the big Harding policies to go by the board is the great plan for the reorganization of the govern ment departments. It probably will be abandoned by the executive and congress will gladly forget it. This contemplated a general rear angement of the governmental ac tivities, such as the massing of the t war and navy departments under a secretary of national defense, the establishment of department of pub lic welfare that was to take over all educational, health rehabilation and mortality work and might have ab sorbed the prohibition bureau.

SENTIMENT GROWING I IN FAVOR OF COUNTY OWNING HOSPITAL Brantwooti Is Well Equipped and Ad j nnrably Located For the Work. , Since the adaption of a resolution : some time ago by the Granville Coun : ty Medical Society to own and operate I ^ hospital, the people of Oxford and ; the county have awaken to the im i portance of such a step. The simple i statement that people in the early i stages of sickness should go to a cen j tral point in search of advice and ! medical treatment, instead of the i doctors going to the country to see ! sick people, made a profound im pression upon the mind of thinking I people. An incident occurred here this i week that well illustrates the impor I tance of the county owning Brant iwood Hospital; namedy, viz: A man I who lives about 20 miles from Ox I ford was taken sick fifteen days ago. I The only medicine he had was a box i of pink pills, in which he placed im plicit faith, but he grew worse from day to day and finally sent for the i doctor. The doctor drove out to see! him and found that he had "gallop-; ing consumption o?f the bowels." It is i pointed out that if the sick man had [ called at Brantwood Hospital fifteen { days ago, when he was first taken: sick, he would be a well man today; ; but the delay will no doubt cost him his life. } It is also pointed out that the doc-! tor charges $20 every time he goes! out into the country to see this sick' man. If this sick man had called at; Brantwood Hospital fifteen days ago i to consult a doctor the charge would ! have been only $2. There are many reasons why the county should purchase Brantwood Hospital and operate it. There is plenty of room on the back side of the farm to establish colony houses for tubercular patients, and run it in conjunction with the hospital. If the county owned the hospital, all doctors of the county would be af filiated with it. Patients would call there to see them, and if necessary: they would %e entered there for treat- j ment. Under this plan the hospital would j berate a cleaning house for sickness. I The doctors would be in closer touch i with each other and there would be a; free exchange of opinions regarding { diseases. It is often necessary for; doctors to enter into consultation, and the patient would not only have; the benefit of the combined and ac-} cumulated wisdom and knowledge of; all the doctors of the county, but the { knowledge of experts who would be; affiliated with and in close touch: with the powerful organization ofj medical and scientific men. ! OXFORD VISITED BY OFFICIALS OF S. A. L. RAILWAY j Five Private Cars Make a Short Stop} On Tour Of Inspection Of Line. High officials of the Seaboard Air! Line Railway spent several hours j here yesterday inspecting the rail-j roads property in the city. The spec- ; ial cars in which the officials were! traveling left shortly after noon for Henderson, Durham, and other points in North Carolina and Virginia which they will visit on their tour of in spection. The Seaboard expects to do a heavy ; business this fall and winter, and the { distinguished party which stopped here in examining the road bed and equipment preparatory to the rush season. Among the officials in the party were M. H. Cahill, operating! vice-president and general manager; I B. C. Prince, freight traffic manager; j J. E. O'Brien, chief motive power! and equipment; L. L. Knight, general} auditor; D. N. Bacot, assistant gen eral manager; W. D. Faucette, chief engineer; C. E. Hix superintendent i transportation; G. V. Peyton, general superintendent; C. C.

Soil, eadHy culti vated; clear og wilt. Sea Dr. E. 9^ WHITE. - 9f-14-2t paid fME POt/URT FARM Coiulucied By R. M. Blackwell Brother Of County Agent Biack weH. A visit to the chicken farm on Mr. Charles W. Bryan's place, on the Ox ford-Creedmoor road, 6 miles south of Oxford, will convince any one that chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys thrive in Granville county. When Mr. R. M. Blackwell, of South Carolina, took charge of Mr. Bryan's farm one year ago as super intendent, the first thing he did was to put the fowls to work. From a small beginning one year ago with a pair of white leghorn chicks, a pair of white Pekin ducks, turkeys and geese he now has on hand more than 1000 fowls, to §ay nothing of the large number sold during the year. All of this has been accomplished at spare moments and in addition to his superintendency of the large farm. It is an interesting sight to see the fowls gather at a common center at the call of Mr. Blackwell at feeding time. Mr. Blackwell is an experienced poultryman; he knows how to select eggs for setting; how to doctor fowls when sick; he requires them to scratch for a living, and when he finds a fat lazy fowl he consigns him to the pot. Granville County's greatest need is more men of Mr. Blackwell's type. CO-OP HEAR SENATOR SMITH AT HENDERSON The Distinguished Senator From South Carolina Made a Rousing Speech. Approximately 2000 farmers inj Henderson yesterday heard Senator Ellison Durant Smith, of South Caro- } lina, discuss co-operative marketing and declare that in spite of efforts made to destroy condifence in the or ganization, the work of the associa tion will go forward and not back-i ward. Senator Smith, one of the organiz-i ers of the senate farm bloc, made an I appeal for continued unity among! farmers, lauding their determination i to stand together and declaring that' the association is gaining weight and prestige. Many Gfanville county farmers and tobacconists of Oxford went over to Henderson yesterday to heart Sena-j tor Smith. The verdict is that it, was a powerful appeal for cdopera-t live marketing. PROWLING NEGROES Enter Homes Along the National Highway and Frighten People. A couple of families living on the National Highway just north of the corporate limits were badly frigh tened by prowling negroes last Wed nesday evening. While the members of one of/the families were assembled in the back of the house they heard onme one In the front hallway, and upon investigation found a colored man who deliberately turned the door knob and entered the house. Only the mother and her children were p-esent, and when they saw the black imp they screamed, and when neighbors responded they saw two two negro men depart from the pre mises. About a half of a mile further up the Highway a lady and her son, who were alone in the house had a simi lar experience. At this residence the two men entered the front door with out knocking, and when they saw the lady they asked for a drink of water. Neither one of these two families had a gun or a pistol by which they could dfend themselves. One tf the ladies purchased a double barreled shot gun yesterday and declared that she knows how to us it to good ef fect. , HARDING NOMINATOR BACKS COOL1DGE Senator Willis, of Ohio, ,who pre sented the name of Warren G.
