GO-OP MANAGEMENT
FOUR MEMBERS OF THE
OFFICE FORCE RESIGN
Mr. H. \V. Winstead, Manager Co-op
i Warehouse, and Mesa. J. J.
Wlnstfad. K. C. Wagstaff
and T. P. Featherston
Resign.
For some time it has been an open
J secret that there was dissatisfaction
i - in the management of the CoOp Asi
sociation warehouse here. Just what
caused this feeling we know not, but
matter came to a head on last
f/f1 Wednesday when Mr. H. W. Winstead,
warehouse manager,, and Mess. J. J.
! Winstead, K. C. Wagstaff and T. P.
Featherston handed in thlir resignaF
tiona..
Mr. Claud T. Hall, director for this
iscrict, told us tne resignations had
been accepted and a manager would
be named in a very short time, Mr.
Featherston has reconsidered the matter
and accepted a contract for the
coming year with the Co-ops, while
the other two vacancies will not be
filled, as he thinks the force will be
hble to handle the crop without any
more help. Mr. Hall further stated
that these changes would mean a
saving of six thousand dollars to the
Association members of the County.
] We know nothing about the Co-Op
management, but we do know that
' Mr. Hall has started on the right Toad
when he began cutting down expenses.
Now, if the Association wiH adopt
this" rule all over the three States,
and will cut out this secrecy to what
salaries they pay they will have gone
a longways towards regaining the
members.

"THF. COVERED WAGON."
"The Covered Wagon" is the greatest
achievement in motion picture history.
Several hundred mounted ijten
actually risked their lives in the buf-l
' ~ falo hunt, which br absolutely genuine
from start to finish. Judge Brown
says it is the greatest picture ever!
produced, and told us when we had
i. an opportunitv to see it, not to miss'
mkixThe
Pr.t.. i
Wy frreflt expense to bring civs picture.1
p-. to Roxboro and we hope they will
?'v have a packed house at every performance,
In fact they will have to have
such "houses or lose money on the
proposition. Let's show our appreeia
tion for the spirit they display in
bringing the best pictures obtainable
, ?dor just as soon as some ilotable
picture is serened and given to the
jriyiuju vHey neg*otiaiions ior
bringing it to Roxboro.
"The Covered Wagon" is coming
July 2nd, 3rd and 4th, and you wart!
to remember the dates. Don't miss it.
