SOLD Now that a demand for poultry has ! been established here, and ample mar ] keflns? facilities have been established. 1 we see no reason why this profitable ? project should not become one of the leading industries on the farms : of .person County. Yesterday a fourth i sale of this kind was held here and more than 2.000 pounds was sold for | a little more than $500. These poul I try sales, coming as they do. in the summer time is a material help to those who have a tew old hens or friers to offer. The unusual busy period probably accounts for the short sale of Tuesday, as compared with some of the former sales. It doen't cost so much to raise a few extra chickens, besides it is a safe means of bridging over the close Summer season without having to ask your grocer to charge every pound of sugar you might want to buy. Lets raise more poultry. Preachers Challenge Lawyers For Game The preachers of Roxboro and vi cinity have issued a challenge to the lawyers for a game of base ball, the proceeds to go towards placing Re ligious Biographies in the public school libraries Should the lawyers accept, and we take it they will, the public has something in store which will afford many laughs.

' ? 1 j i Success In Kentucky Taken As Indication Of Possible Revolt Next Year DEMOCRAT MAJORITY 1.000 Washington. June 2.? Democrats ; staged a great comeback In the Third Kentucky District Saturday. A Re publican majority of 4.000 In Novem ber was overturned and former Con gressman, John W. More, has a ma jority of around 1,000. It is the most Important political event since the i Inauguration of Hoover. Congressman-elect Roark, who | swept the district In the Hoover land 1 slide of November, /died in April. The Republicans conducted a strenouous campaign to elect his successor. The Democrats did not go to sleep. The j moral effect of a Victory was recogniz ed by leaders of both parties. Shotue's Statement. "The popular revolt among voters who see already the betrayal of Re publican pledges in the 1928 campaign indicated in the widespread condem nation of the pending tariff bill," de clared Joquett Shouse. chairman of the executive committee of the Demo j era tic National Committee and dlrec 1 tor of the national headquarters In Washington, in a statefhent to the country tonight. "The result clearly shows the dis satisfaction of the people with the half-hearted and dilatory manner in which Mr. Hoover and the Congress have treated farm relief." said Con- I gressman Joseph W. Byrns. of Ten nessee. chairman of the Democratic Congressional Committee. These were not perfunctory state ments by the Democratic leaders. 1 Therf Is clearly In the making, ac cording to political observers, the 1 boasts of a political revolt. It 'Is now a. question of leadership, and the** ob servers say that the leadership will 1 not be lacking. The Republicans , have failed to provide any popular j leadership and there Is an opportun- j Ity for the Democrats, according to i students of political conditions, to sweep the- country in the next Con gressional elections. 0 . ?

MORE TIME GIVEN - j OIE OPERATOR FOR WATCHING JURORS Harry F. Sinclair's Sentence Of Six Months Upheld By Siiprnni? Court NOW SERVING SENTENCE Washington. June 3. ? Harry F. Sin clair, multi-mtllonaire oil magnate, must remain a prisoner in the District of Columbia jail at least six months longer, the Supreme Court ruled to day in upholding his sentence for Jury shadowing. He has already served one month of a three-month sentence for con tempt of the Senate, a charge result ing from his refusal to answer ques tions in the public lands committee'* Inve'syiitton of the Teapot Dome oil lease scandal. The" n?w "sentence of six months Is for contempt of court and grew out <^f Sinclair's Jury shadowing activi ties during his trial with former sec retary of Interior Pall on a charge ot conspiracy to defraud the government. The two sentences together would keep Sinclair In Jail nine months, leaving eleht Still to be served. It is understood, however, that he can de mand immediate commitment to serve the second sentence and thus serve concurrently the last two months of his first sentence and the first two months of his second. Six Months. This would cut down the total time served by two months and good be haviour would reduce It five days a month or approximately one month more. Thus, he probably will not re main in Jail more than six months. Tills would leave him free to resume active direction of his vast business before Christmas. Besides upholding Sinclair's corvlc tlon for Jury shadowing, the Supreme Court decreed that two of hUf co-de fendents in the Jury shadowing case must pay the penalties Imposed by the trial court and that a third co defendartt shall be allowed to go un punished. Henry Mason Day. one of Sinclair's lieutenants, must serve four months in Jail, and W. Sherman Burns, a pri vate detective, must pay a 11.000 fine. William J. Burns, founder of , the famous Burns Detective Agency and father of W. Sherman, waa sen tenced to 15 days by the lower court, but the Supreme Court nullified this setnence.

'' ' ? Heaw Rains Reduce Tcbacco Prospect* Klnston. June 4 ? Heavy damage to the tobacco crop In this part of the State has resulted from excessive rainfall of the past three weeks. Reports from various sources today indicated the yield would be reduced i 40 to 50 per cent. Experts said these I estimates were exaggerated but ad i mitted the harvest promises to be con j ' id?rably smaller than last year's. The | acreage is about equal to that of 1928. 1 The soil is soaked to a depth or | manv inches. Already soggy, it failed ! ti rbsorb yesterday's rain and water stood dei"> between the rows in many fields. Yesterday's downpour in the southern and eastern portions of the | belt undoubtedly ot off millions of pounds of the weed. The outlook for the cotton yield Is j even poorer than for tobacco.
