Itie Sales Last Week Were Good,
With Big Averages, But Offerings
Net so Good.
On account of election day tht^o
wet* only four sales days, but the
breaks were very good, amounting
to 264,817 pounds, which brought
*76,462,51, and average for the en' '-e
sales being $28.49. Considerir*
the quality of the tobacco this
was a most excellent price, in fact
we doubt if there was another mar
j, ."ft in this section can show a bettor
price ,or higher average.
On lust (Friday there was one of
the beat aales of the season, with
heavy sales r|nd (fjite a libdral offering
of inferior grades, the",general
average for the market was
close to $30 00 per hundred. ' j
Again, we want'to remind you;

ROXBOR
MR. S AN-DS SPEAKS.
Saturday Wu Co-Operutive Market,
ins Day In Roxboro.
Last Saturday Mr. Oliver J. Sands'
was advertised to speak In the court
house, with all of the business metn
of the town especially invited to
hear bim. Just how many of the
business men were present we can
not say, but this we can aay, the
court house was packed with people,
and stand'ng>-room all occupied.
Mr. Sands is no great speaker as
far as oratory is cd^icemed, but he
is a plain, level headed business man
and he spoke in a convincing con. i
Verfivtional manner. He was not''
abusive to any one though he did;'
come don{n pretty hard on the contract
breaker. He showed by sta-,
tfttics that the Association had made
millions of dollars, not only for the
members, but for the non-members
as well. He cited statistics show- i
ing that tobacco had sold for more 1 '
than one hundred per cent more during
the time since, the organization j
of-the Assodlaticln than it averaged
previous to that time. I'
Ail in all, it was a strong speech
and we wish every man, and- tppen- '
ially every member of the AssoCia-'
tiot? could have heard it, for we be.
lieve they woulfl have been strengthened
in their Association. }'
El ector C. T. Hall, Mr. R R.;
Patterson and Dr. J. Y. Joyner ad- 1
dressed the meeting, all stressing |
the fact that the Association was,
stronger today than at any time 1
since its organization.

RED CROSS ANNUA*, -ROLL
t ALL.
Armisiic Day, November 11th;,
will mark the opening of the Local
Red Cross Chapters Annual Roll
Call, when canvassers will personaly
visit each home and business
house in the community and give
very one an oportunity' to renew
:heir membership in the organization.
Three hundred members is the
goal that the chapter has set for
this year, and lit is believed that
the work Ithat is being conducted
here will receive adequate support
when the campaign is opened. There
has not been a resident nui'se at
Roxboro for the past two years, bus
the Red C-ress has- repfdS^ntatntes'
x> do special work on several occasions
during the past twelve months.
\mong the activities fostered by the
Red Gross was a class in Home Hygiene
and Care of the Sick conducted
last summer under the direction
ctf one of their nurses. The purpose
of these Courses it to give students
an elementary knowledge of
nursing procedures necessary for
the proper tare of ordinary siokie*s
in the home. it also teaches
the rules of sanitation and hygiene
pertinent to good health including
ncthoda for the care of milk in the
tome, the proper disposal of garbage
ind many other things essential to
I healthy home. Many of our townspeople
toOk advantage of th?.? oIm.
>es arid keenly appreciate the value
>f such instruction.
In addition to the above, their is
at present a Red Cross representative
onthe field working for the
nterest of those of our county who
?re effected with tubta-culosis.
rhis nurse is visiting the schools,
thnrches etc. and giving lectures on
the care 'and preventing of tuburcuosis.
This desease is claiming a
(anger per cent of the pofpulatidn
than any other, and this work is extremely
important, as well as unietreminable
in dollars a,nd cents.
While the above activities are being
carried on here in Roxboro, similar
work is being carried on by the
Red Cross all over the United States.
Hence, we are the more able to appreciate
the great work this organization
is accomplishing through:>u^^Mgg?p*try.
FBjt types of memberships will be
siliAdd this year. They are$50.,
$25, $10; $5; and $1 memberships.
From .each membership only 50 cents
natiinal and intsWstirniol
the Red Cross. The rest of the
money remains here to carry on the
local work of the Red Cross Chapter.
Theratre, from a $10.00 membership,
$9.50 is spent locally, while 50 cts
goes into the National Red Cross
Treasury. With the money which
it receives, the national organization
carries on its' relief work far disasAt

WAS IN CONGRESS PROM THIS
DIS1RU6CT 12 YEARS

In Scotland Neck. Was A Boa1

and Most Loved Citizen.
(By the Associated Press)
- Scotland Neck, Nor. 9.?W. W.
i fCvtch^i, 68 years old, former gwr.
ernor of North Carolina, former
: represestative in cosgrr^ss apd at
, brother of the late Ctaude Kitchi
i.., .Democratic house leader, died
, here today after a long illness,
I William Walton jKitcltbi, 'was ss
merber of a family long prominent
in North Carolina politics and which
i fujaished at yarious times, three
, members of -congress His father,
i Captain William H. Kitchin rep?
i resented the second North Carolina
' district.
Former Governor Kitchen represented
the fifth district in con:
gress ior 12 yeairs prior to elevation
to the chief, executive "position in the
i state.
i ,'Governor jKitchin vuas born at
[ Scotland- Neck October 9, 1866. He
. grj?V>ated fitom Wake Ftorest co*,
lege in 1884 and the next year be.
came editor of the Scotland Neck
, Democrat. Meantime he studied law
I and in 1887 was admitted to the bar
and took up the practice of the legal
profession at Roxboro in 1890.
In 1890 he was chairman of the
Democratic state executive committee
and in 1892 tJas an unsuccess
ful candidate for the state senate.
i On iDecember 22, 1892, he martsedr
: Miss Musette -Satterfield of Roxboco.
I In 1896 Governor Kitchin flashed
I j into the political iemelight in the
I j state whan he was nominated for
i congress from the fifth North Carolina
distinct :igains.t Thorryis Seti
i tie, Republican, who had represeoted
; the district for many years and who
i was considered probably the most
I brilliant member of the North Car'
olifca delegation in congress. A.
young man, without great experiencei
in the political forum he plunged ini
to a series of joint debates with the
. ejjpegienced )c>ldgres?man and hefct
; his own so well that in the Repab.
lican landslide of that year in the
| state, he was the cinly Democrat
eleteted to ttongress, unsdating the
man considered the wheel-horse of
, the Republican party in tne state.
| "From that time until 1908 he ccn
tjnued to represent his district in congress.
In the memorable Charlotte- coo^
. vention oft he state DemSfiratic party
In 1908 he was a candidate for the
nomination for governor against the
late Lock Craig of Ashville and
Ashley Home. Craig was backed
by United Stptes Senator Simmons
and the neutral forces were backing
; Home.
The convention was deadlocked for
|; niajny days. Finally when the deadlock
was broken Kitchin emerged the
.: candidate and won easily.
In 1912 Kitchen das a candidate
[ for the (nomination for the Uuited
States senate against Senator F. M.
> Simmons. This was the first year
.; in which a primary was held. After
a warm three cornered race between
. Kitchin, -Simmons and Walter Clark,
! tljen chief justice of the state su;|-pTeme
court, Senator Simmons was
j nominated.
i Mr. Hitch in retired from politics
. 1 nnd did not actively seek office
I thereafter.
. j (Thus at the aye of 46, when most
' | men in |mhJ.>c life are just beginning
i their career he retired to private life
. and resumed the ptrtactice of law.
> He was a momber 'jf thefifctn at)
