' rME A VERKAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Entered at the Post Office at Rox- 1 bcro, N. as secor.d-class matter, i Wednesday Sept. 15, 1926. GOOD NEWS FOR THE BOYS AND GIRLS 'We have some {rood news for the t>oys and girls of this County. The p*st spring we decided to form a Boys Com Club, and offered a prist* of fifti dollars t) the bey who would ( fwliitc the most corn on an acre of land. We wanted .fifty members of this club, but failed "to reach our desires, though we are intensely proud of the forty boys who joined, ?nd will soon be gathering and "hav ing their com patch measured. We do not know who will be the lucky boy, but we dp know we are going ( to get more pleasure out oft present ing him with that rponey that e possibly get ooCof^receiving it. And then we are going to print his picture in ? these columns and hold him up as the .big "Corn Bee/' Well 'now, the trood news. As we gave the prize this year to a boy we felt it was our duty to remem ber the girls with our next prize ? offer, and we are going to give trftv dollars to some girl in a Camiihg Club contest. We. have not worked rut the particulars, but we want the | f?irls to know we still, think of then; I ? -r-tbi-.ugli ? w;-. have .passed - the. stage where short dresses and bobbsd lair I cuts much ite with us. . But the boys are riot going ,to b? l??ff. out, for tie People-, Bank ha- | authorized us to offer another pr'-z^ " ?? ? of fifty dollars to the boy wh: raise s I the jiiost com.cn an acre in H) 27. We are delighted to have the pleas ure of 'making' this .announcement, and it is oply anotlte Vvwtenco oi ? the interest t hi bank i> taking in ! tbe welfare of. the boy 5 and girls I <1 this County. We '.have repeatedly ' stated that your b?st friends were | the bankers. aml we again' make that j statement v\ it !. ut ;i,ny fjtftr . f hav- | ?ng to ret iv.rt. ^owr boys and girls. brgin'ip think ' , ? about these prizes, an.'! while it : | n lonp tinvi,* to you, but not to -h? j older ones, bef re you will actually begin work t: > win these prif.es, jt is none too soon to begin laying plan- for X'.-.e work, . -f-. We "Tiave not mentioned it to any d our merchants, or business men. but we h'ipe to interest some of thorn* lo the extent that some one will offer * second and third prize in each of ihese counteets, so that if you do pot win the first yoa strll may he a winner. SAVE- SAVE -SAVE We a'l remember bac!> in 1019 how plentiful money was, and how 'lavish ly we spent it. We spent as though there never euld be another lean year, and for (he past ?several years we have all wi ' hod We ha 1 been more thoughtful an:i ?aved soma of those dollars which, we literally threw away. Agra in. ? it lo ks as if the fa rmer was going to lave, an abundance, for never have crop pros pects been so bright in this .County.. Undoubtedly yoi have plenty of bread stuff, and if you do not have an abundance >f feedstuff for your rtock it will largely be your rwn fault. One of the, best farmers of the C:unty was in our office a few days ago and urged us to say some-^ thing nhirh would ratua tlm fnim. era fccf lo:k. well after saving^? saving ihu f?al> wit*-* nnd ttip rig v.1./ which is growing scf abundantly on ~ ?V?Vy Tarm. this year. He said whilv it was not a* goo?? pea vine, or spy* bean, r clover and timothy, still, it was too g?od to let go to waste, and was far better than paying thirty or forty dollars a ton for hay next spring, much of which was no better than I the crab grass or rag weed. And he was right. One of the big troub les with most of us is, we do not save, and are to^ wasteful?especially when we have the money to waste. \Ve feci that we cculd not bring you better advice than to SAVE! SAVE! BE NEIGHBORLY If you waht to have fricn:U* ycu must be friendly, and if you want to have good neighbors, ycu must be neighborly. Now, Roxboro want/; every man, woman and child in this County to know that Hoxboro is neighborly arr! w .nt> to b2 neighbor to every family in the .County. To show our neighborly spirit a move Is on foot to have every citizen :f the ?G^unty come in on Tuesday, Oc tober ..fifth, and be the guests 4 of the town. The tobacco market will op en on this aay and i: i* hoped, and expected that a large cr:wd will be here, for every farmer is intensely (interested in the opening . of the mai-kets in this belt. Jurt what plan? will be used to entertain .the farmers have not been worked out, but.it is hoped to make a gala day of it, and- every farmer Is expected to ccme, and you may rest assured that you will receive the glad hand. We will tell- you m:re about it in our next issue,, when plans will he move fully ma tured.

This is seen in the failure to vpta m local and in national poli tics. In a matter .f bond issues a large proportion of the people do not v te, and thus many bond? are issued, by municipalities by a ma jority of those who vote, but which in reality are such a minority of the citizens that they scarcely rep resent the real sentiment of the rommunitr. hi loial elections, a? well as iii national e'fcctions, our people are indifferent to -their r<r s"on*:bii:iies. ' But little more than ne-i|f of our. -citizens vited at the Presidential. olcti li'.'Vnd in. a | recent election in Atlanta,1 a city of | 3.10,000 population, only ll.fiOO voted. , Those who stayed away from the ! r-:!ls thus permitted a union-li:bor , Vlement to control the elect in and ; to put into off : 'e many men wh:r do' net represent the best interest* of the city. The result of this is seen in some recent iNsal legislation, on* j the wh ip st-ry as to the outcome | of this failure of Atlanta people to I vote is told in an interesting article j by the president of the Atlanta j ( feamber of Com. frier .'O. 1 The citizen who fails to accept jury duty unless there are providen tial reasons against it, (,r who fails ?o vote, is recreant to his responsi bility to his. fami y, to his city; to his state and to the country.

Facing the farts c- they' -arc I can't understand yrYy it is that the hurch people, especially in the towns and cities where there' Is so much harm d.ne. do not fight the evil r pictures and r.pl- jillo\v any except gOO^picture? to be 'hown. Are they. ristian or j"ust asleep? Seems to me that anybo ly could see th^t- the picture!: and other things that are allowed are carrying the young peo ple to the devil and many times |immaterely. How people, can sit still and see this happen even to their own children is more than I can un derstand. I recall a case now of a fourteen year old room-mate I once had whose mother was dead, she lived ir. a North Carolina town and had at tended picture' shews fr -m a small child. She, like the. boys" and girls spoken . of in the article last week, was influenced by what she saw on the screen. So one day after hav ing seen a picture in which some I one was hanged, and after receiving: some ill treatment from her step mother, she decided to end it all by hahging her-self. And if she had not been hindered she would have take? her life, all because the pic ture suggested it to her as a way cut of her trodbles. These extreme cases, however, are few, compared to the number of lives ruined by the gvil < influnces of the vile picture.', and other amusements that lead people mto paths of Sin* Knowing all this and seeing ?o many going to 'distraction and tci hell H:w carf christian people sit still | and never ni??ke_ any effort to get j the evil nnn^emi'iiLs uot find joplaoo * them wit1v irood things?
