Mr. DeWitt Rogers, who lived
about seven miles south of town,
died on last Thursday. r It seems
that while he had been complain

seriously ill, and while walking
around in the yard he died almost
suddenly. Mr. Rogers was easily

the August term of court haying
been apprehended by by the offi
cers of the county with his auto
mobile loaded with ten cases of
whiskey containing four anda
half gallons each. The automo
bile was found on June 8 where
it had been left by Andrews! by
the side of the road. On the f ok
lowing day, Andrews surrender-
ed. His story of the case; .was
that he had gone to visit a Mrs.
I. V. Slaughter near Roxboro at
her request. On the road he: en-
countered a party whose autdn)0:
bile had broken down. Oneof
the men in the car requested tfrat
he, AndrewSt give thm relief
ine extent or transporting, cne Ten
cases of whiskey wliich they were
carrying, some distance down the
road and place it in the bushes at
a designated spot. This he did,
having a sympathetic feeling ' for
men in distress. He said he had
never seen the men before, nor
has he seen them since. It was in
the performance of this service,
that the officers of, the law ap
proached. Thereupon he desert
ed his car and waited in hiding
while the officers seized it. The
next day, realizing his offense, he
surrendered.
Gen. Royster Leads.
Gen. B. S. Royster opened the
case, reading the petition for the
pardon of Andrews, based on the
ground that the act was committ
ed without any gain to himself,
tlM the sentence was passed un
der misapprehension of the court,
that Andrews has been sufficiently
punished, for the additional rea
son of ill health of the defendent
now in jail. He was supported
by L. M. Carlton, attorney of
Roxboro; R. P. Reade, of Dur
ham, and Victor S. Bryant, of
Durham.
Introduced by Mr. Everett,
who was directing the forces of
the opposition, Rev. J. J. Boone,
of Roxboro described Andrews as
a stumbling block in the way ot
moral uplift in Person county. He
i claimed that ninety per cent, of
the people of Person are in sym
pathy with the liquor traffic and
charged that certain ministers of
the county not only are "not op
posed to it but drink with their
church members.
... Rev. M. Warren, who appear
ed for Andrews, and who gave
him a good reputation, arose : to
persoral privilege on: this. .He
did not wish to be included in the
list of drinking preachers. -Mr.
R. P. Reade, an attorney
of Durham, formerly of Person
countv, also did not .like the: tone
of Mr. . Boone's remarks about
Person and had declared that they
i weie ' 'untrue . and slander''
"when Governor Craig . called him
tq task,1 insisting "that I he;cduld
Life," and we are sure that every
one who heard this gem went
home determined that his home,
be it a mansion or a losr cabin.
should look better and hav3 more
beautiful surroundings. The en
tire County is under obligations
to Judge CasseU for spending this
day with us. He was followed by
short addresses from several of
the Countymen who showed their
love for their County by their re
marks. After the speaking the'
crowd marched to the grove of
Mr. H. C. Barnett on the .north
ern part of town, where they were
given a lunch consisting, of ;Brmis-
wictstew, ham sandwichesivieih
nade," etc. And while the' crowd
was enormous j everybody was
served until they had a sufficiency,
and after the white people had
been served and left the table the
colored people, numbering about
one tnousana, were invited to
come up and partake, and as Rev.
John Ray said to us, "Bless Gaw
they could not eat it all."
A brass band from Danville
made music for the oceasion and
added very much to the pleasures
of the day. After dinner there
were some ball games at the fair
grounds. Two games were played
by the Semora and Roxboro teams,
both games being won by the Irlox-
i
boro boys.
Sure enough it was a great day
and many will refer for months',
to the day spent in Roxboro on
that day. The merchants bought
thousands of tickets to the "mov
ies" which were distributed by
them, and this alone was worth
the worries of the day to many
who do not have the pleasure of
visiting such things every day.
Notwithstanding such a crowd
there was not a single arrest for
disorder during the day, in fact
we did not see a single person who
seemed to be under the -influence
of liquor. '
The town thoroughly enjoyed
having the people from the coun
try as their guests and many were
the complimentary remarks which
weheard from the guests concern
ing the pleasures of the day.
Moved to Fuquay Springs,
Mr. J. I). K. Richmond and
family left last week for Fuquay
Springs where they will make
their home. Mr. Richmond is the
buyer on this market for the A,
T. Co. Mr. and Mrs. Richmond
will be missed; as they, are pro
minent in both church ; and social
affairs.
