at the Post Office at Box
N. C., as second-class matter
Wednesday Sept. 30, 1926.
A NECESSITY
We do not believe there will be a
nas, woman or ?child in this good
Coonty who will' suffer for bread
another crop is raised. True,
ne of you may have to ask the
the merchant or the fertilizer
to carry yeu- over before pay
* iag all of your indebtedness, but you
will buckkle down like a man and
make good. But, we do believe the
time has cime when we should ALL
cut down on luxuries, live close to
the shore and put forth our very
best endeavor. And this applies just
as truly to the officials who have the
spending of our tax money as it does
te the individual, but we do insist
that there are certain 'things which
coat money, additional money, which
are not luxuries and one of these is
a County Demonstration Agent.
We are not clamoring for a man
to -come here and teach you haw to
raise tobacco ? you know too much
about this already and raise entirely
too much of it, but we do want a
man to come here and help ypu dis
pose of the surplus you raise on
your farm. We believe, we are al
most persuaded' to say, we know,
the average farm in this County al
lows enough to go to waste every
year to almost support, feed, the
family on tnat tarni. And thai is
what we want a -demonstration agent
fer.
Every farmer in this County knows
there is not a market sufficiently
elastic in Roxboro to take all pro
duce brought in. Just now we ex
pect a car load of salad, turnips,
etc. could be secure! here if there
was a market for it. Of course, the
merchants will buy it, that is the
4rst few baskets brought in, but a
few baskets will glut the market
and the farmer coming in late will
find nj market. Same thing is
tnte as to butter, eggs, hams, or what
not. If you are fortunate enough to
find a market here you will get the
very highest market price, but the
troable is, our market is so limited.
A County Agent, working in con
junction with the State Marketing
Division, would find a market fnr
jut such produce, and he would be
the cmure of many thousands of dol
lar* camming in for stuff which is
allowed to go to waste today.
This is a matter in which every
fanner is interested, and unless you
make it plain to our worthy Board
of County Commissioners that you
desire such an agent, they are not
going to appropriate the money neces
sary to secure such an agent. We
do not say this in criticism of our
Board of Commissioners, for we
know they have twisted and turned in
rnvtry direction to keep from ^increas
ing taxes, but there is tome way
whereby the small sum needed,- enc
thousand dollars, could be hail rnd
?we know if you .will lay the Wat?
tar before them in the right light,
and let them know you want It, it
will be granted.
Will you do it?
From every indication it looks
like the Democratic party is .doing
its utmost to gtve Mr. Coolidge an
other four year term in Washington.
Governor Ai Smith ii hobnobbing
wKh the leaders in ' Chicago, wMeh
means he is launching ftis camptign
trtr Hw nomination in 1928. If the
Democratic party has Nothing bet
ter to offer than Al Smith or Willie
McAdoo they had just as well (jet
eat of business. ~
(?curing this need?
Yes, and Person County needs, tnd
must have, a County Demonstration
A (cent Messrs, Commissioners, won't
you make it possible for as to have
such an agent ?
Like a bull dog, when we take hold |
we never turn lose, and we do not
intend to let up until Person County
is placed in tho ranks of the progres
sive counties with a County Demon
stration Agent. If you want to choke
us off, give us this agent.
Now that Mr. Cameron Morrison
has settled the deficit to the satisfac
tion of at least himself and the
Charlotte Observer let's let it rest
and talk about something mors
pleasant, for instance last Saturday's
foot ball game, when our Baptist
folks cleaned up the University.
\V. B. COLE INDICTED
FOR MURDER j
Jury In the Co>e Trial Are to Come)
From Union County
Richmond County Courthouse,
Rockingham. N. C., Sept. 29 ? A
special venire from Union county will
produce the jury in wh&se hand? will'
rest the fate of W. B. Cole, cotton
mill owner of Rockingham, charged
with the murder of W. W. Ormond,
formerly a friend of the family :ind
at one time A suitor for his daughter's
hand.
Judge T. B. Finley, presiding ovc.
a special term of Richmond superior
court, today directed that 200 venire
men from Union county be Sum
moned to report here Wednesday at
Id o'clock. The order was issued af
ter defense counsel agreed to a mo
tion of Solicitor F. Don Phillips that
a jury be formed from another coun
ty. \
Union county is separated fcjfii
Richmond by Anson, Mortro?T t**.r
county seat, is approximately 50
miles due west of Rockingham,
Two members of the grand jury
that indicted Cole after deliberating
forty fivfc minutes were excuse!.
They were J. B. Gibson, Hamlet, and
W. H. Entwhistle, Rockingham.
Tho latter is related to the defen
dant. 1 :
Cole, -Arho has been in jail since
last August 15 when he shot r.nd
killed Ormond on one of the city's
principal street*, pleaded not guilty
when arraigned on the charge of the
indictment. He had entered the
room while the grand jury was in
session. When, as provided in the
procedure in this state, Cole was re
quested by Solicit3r Phillips to stand
for arraignment, he did so alertly
and answered the solicitor's questions
in firm voice.
The form of his answers waa whis
pered to him by a defense attorney
and to the last question "How will
you be tried?" Cole answered steadi
ly, with a lift of his chin:
"By God and my country." .
"May God send you a true deliver- 1
anee," firmly replied the solicitor.
