C., Augustus Octavius Bacon, United States Senator from Georgia for nearlvi nineteen years and chairman of the ' Foreign Relations Committee since the ascendancy of the Democratic party, March 4, 1913, died Satur day in a hospital here after an ilk ness of ten days. He was the first United States Senator elected by ; direct vote of the people under the! seventeenth constitutional amend-i ment. Though Senator Bacon had been veriously ill with kidney trouble and complications de veloping from i .i hroken rib, his" death was unex-i cted. It came suddenly at '2 o' clock in the afternoon and news of the end fell upon the Senate , as a diock while it was in- executive session. Vice-President Marshall, Sena tors Kern, Overman, Swanson and Saulsbury hurried to the hospital and, after conferring, announced that the funeral would be held Tu esday in the Senate chamber. The Senate will appoint a committee on arrangements Monduy, when cards of invitation will be sent to the President, members of the Cab inet and diplomatic corps on (Mon day. The services will be conduct- ed by the Rev. Forrest G. Pretty-1 man, chaplain of the Senate, assis- ted by an Episcopal rector to be I selected bv the familv Annoim. t. -..-- A.

Speaker Clark appointed as a special committee of the House to toclay it will be necessary to let co-operate with a Senate commit- j the people know it. There are ma tee for the funeral,1 the members of ! nv ways he can do this, but the the Georgia delegation and Repre-; cheapest and by far the most satis sentatives Ferris, Willis, Mann, factory way is to take a decent Payne, Gardner, Anthony, Dyer sl)ace in these columns and tell all and Prouty.

A Suggestion We were surprised, yes, and a mused, to note on our way down to the office yesterday morning one of the show windows of one of our large merchants filled with merchandise and show cards car rying the notice 4 'Special Sale and Big Reductions" on a certain line of merchandise. During the past few days there have been hardly a man from the country and very few of the town people on the streets, yet this merchant seemed to tmnk lfc onlv necessary to place thls calxl in Uie window and people would fall over themselves trying to get to this Special Sale. 5? Now, if he really has bargins and wants - to - have; asSpeckF" ale we would suggest to,him that his metli od would have been all right and proper some fifty years ago, but i . i i. How about your subscription to The Courier ? Just send us a dol lar and all will be well. 9 O ' 0 o o o -'i'r. - w o o o radsher & Co. a O o oooOOCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOQOOO . She Got The Garters: : A vounff lad.v liviiur not Ivry iiuui llclc uumg auxiic oiiv- nino- in town Inst week.- dromfeil in one of the stores and said ; to one of the gentlemen clerks: "It is my. desire to obtained , pair of circular elastic appendages capable of being contractedfb expanded by means of oscillating burnished steel appliances that sparkle like particles of gold-leaf set with Alaska diamonds, aid which are utilized for keeping jiti positieh the habiliments of the extremities which innate delicacy forbids me to mention. " - -The -clerk just had time enough to hand out a pair of gartere and then fainted. f , - J;-. Why Not? i Along about this time of the year nearly every merchant lias some goods which he desires to jnove, as the season for them, is about over, v The space is more valuable than the goods as he will soon be receiving new spring stock. Why not have a "clefii-up-sale"? A page or half pagejhi The Courier would move nearly all of this stock thus giving ypu ready cash to help discount sprig bills, besides riding yourself pf a lot of odds and ends which de- preciates every day you carry them. Think about it ouriihd man will help you. Some Weather. The weather for the past week. has been in keeping with me promise of the ground hog. On Thursday night itvbeganjcMMl and whea the early risers ventur, ed out Friday morning they found the ground covered with a good coat of snow. All day Fri day it continued to snowT, finally turning to hail. The depth of the snow is estimated all the way from four to eight inches, proba bly five or six inches being about correct, with biting cold ever since. Sold Three Curings For $829. Notwithstanding the decline in prices Mr. T. S. Stone who farms on one of Mr. Joe H. Carvers farms, about three miles east of town, has been getting some mighty fine prices. He had a oad on the market Tuesday which averaged him a little over $30 a hundred. Not a bad price, was it? He sold three curings which netted him $829.00. This was a good sale, but Mr. Stone is a good farmer and understands the art of raising good tobacco. Small Attendance From Person. There was a small attendance from this section to Durham last week to visit the fair. But we suppose they were not after at tracting outsiders as no effort was made,; save through their own city papers, to encourage such. Durham is a good town and they have most excellent papers, but if they wish outsider to attend affairs oithis kind they will have to let the people know it. Stockholders Meeting Posponed. The annual stockholders meet ing of the Bank of Roxboro which was called for last Saturday" has been postponed until next Satur day February, 21, 1914. The meeting being posponed on ac count of bad weather which pre vented a good many holding stock being present. ' ; Why Certainly. The Raleigh News and Obser ver hopes that rex-Governor Bob o Glenn rwill not decline appoint inent to the Boundary i Commis sion. !ln which hope, we feel sure, Senator Overman joins niost heartily. Ex.',- Be Patient and Considerate ' We know of no one who de serves more consideration than the Rural Carriers just at this time. The weather is fierce, the roads terrible and many," patrons without mercy or consideration. If they are late, remember the roads and the patient. If you have letters to mail be sure and put stamps on your letters and do not place coins in the box with your letteis, for if you do and they take them out which they are not required to do, it is neces sary for them to take off their gloves 'and expose their hands, which are necessarily almost froz en anyway. - The carriers, as a rule from this office are just as obliging and painstaking as can be found any where and they deserve your best' consideration. It Pays To Advertise In The Courier. Last fall while attending the Richmond fair a gentleman from another County lost a watch charm.- After returning home he sent ' a '-little- Want Ad to The Courier and inserted it one time. Last week the charm was found and returned to our office. Read what he says about it: (- "inclosed please find money order for $2 as a reward for the finding of the charm lost in Rich mond and advertised for in the Roxboro Courier. I can never speak too highly in praising the advertising section of The Rox boro Courie&'V - V JThejCourier is -read 'by almost everybody in this'County and if yo have anything to sell or want to buy anything place an ad in our columns and watch results. Serious Charge Against a Citi zen of Creedmoor. Durham. Creedmoor, a small town near Durham, is stirred more than, it has been in many years over a sensation leaking out. According to a signed state ment by Mayor S. H. Rogers and also signed by witnesses, 'Dr. J. F. Sanderford, postmaster and president of the Creedmoor bank and a leading physician, was caught peeping in Mrs. Samuel F. Bullock's window at midnight on February 10th. Mrs. Bullock screamed and her husband's brother living across the street chased Dr. Sanderford shooting twice. He went under the Star warehouse and a large party of citizens followed with guns. He was brought out and a demand that he leave town has been made. v Mrs. Bullock is the wife of a prominent British-American tobecco buyer in China. Express Rates. 'The new express rates which' became effective Februury 1 have started another howl. It seems that ths public was led to believe that the revision would be "down ward" and now . the practical workings of the new rate reveal plunges upward and downward; Patrons of the express" companies who have felt the effect of the new rate say that the revision was "downward on little packages un der fifty pounds (the parcel post limitation) while it was "upward'? on larger packages. . . The express companies may be ftrasted to look out for themselves. -Lexington Davidsonian. What Thomasville Wants, ; " Wanled-Men of niarriagcable age to locate' in Thomasville.

"Why that is a picture of President Wilson and Mr. - Dani-, .els and it was-taken as they stoopj together in a box at the Army and Navy football game last falL " ! "Indeed, and who is Mr. Dani- els?" ''Mr. Daniels,"- was the reply, "is the owner of this pa- per." "And does he own many of them?" "No, this is the only paper Mr. Daniels owns." "Has he owned it long?" 4 'Yes, a great . many y ears." , The traveling man paused a mo ment as if weighing the impart of the information that he had ob tained and then went on: "And by the way Mr. Daniels has been a Senator a great many years too, hasn't he?" The news was then' broken to the anxious seeker for truth as quietly as coujd be under all the circumstances and the incident was subsequently used ; to incline the president of The: NewsT4 and Observer Publishing .
