LOCALMENWILL ' APPEAR IN COURT They Are Charged With Hav ing Violated The Fishing I -aw Statute Among those attending court in- the city of Durham next Saturday. 3will be Mess. Hugh Woods. T. J, Hatchett. Joe Moore and Rev. W. P. West, all of whom have been summorited on a charge of violating the state fishing law. The above parties In company with a number of fishermen from other sections had gone out on the Durham lake to fish and according to Rev. W. F. West all the Roxboro citi zens had secured the necessary per mit from Durham authorities to flsh. but had not been required to pay any state fee before going on the lake to flsh. The matter will probably be put to a test in the Durham court and the outcome will be followed closely by Roxboro cltlzeM. It Can't Be Done Early Monday morning the fire j alarm was sounded and Are was dts- ! covered 1ft one of the west end rooms i of the County court house. Quick re- j sponse by the (Ire department and j the liberal use of chemicals exttn- i (rulshed the blaze before very much j damage was done, other than a small j hole being burned In the floor and the walls being somewhat smoked and soiled The Are probably started from a lighted clgaret falling Into a box of waste stored in the room. For several years now an effort has been made to secure a new court house. First the Judge took the matter In hand and had the Commissioners cited before him for contempt, and" the Solicitor was prevailed upon to hold up and see what could be done, and then two or more elections were held, but all to no avail, and now even fate has failed to be of any as sistance.

It , was an unusual hot morning with ; scarcely any breeze and as early a? I seven o'clock the heavy rumbling sound of distant thunder could be heard which clearly indicated the rapid approach of a storm. As the clouds drew hear the whole world seemed almost closed in and the con stant flash of lightning with the deaf ening peals of thunder together with I almost night time darkness presented " a very excitable, though ^interfiling i scene. For something like four min I utes a heavy downpour of hailstones, I many of which were as large as | guinea eggs. &MuMl)H!tltfd with a de ? ? I structive downpour of rain and wind. I Quite a number of small buildings were { razed and hurled from their foundation* and many Toofs were torn from their ' places and hurled through the air. i The path of the storm was less than a mite wide and at this writing we j have-not learned how far west or east it reached. The section around Baynes I Store has reported the most severe ! damage so far. reaching east as far ; as Berea. Most of the wheat crop through I the storm area had been harvested | but was badly beaten in the shock. I The corn and tobacco crop betnjt I small, will come out again where It ) was not completely destroyed. Much destruction to gardens, orchards and the forest, besides the regular field crops, makes the loss heavy and hard to estimate Large trees that had stood the test of other storms, WUIU ? broken down and uprooted. Sixteen ftne fruit trees, many of them being large and strong, were blown and up rooted in one small orchard. Announcement LTi> Th? l^nriny PnMIr Of Rortpro And Vicinity Mr. Eugene Graham Thompson.
