A hostess of Jacob Rlls once asked
him how, when he was only a re
porter. he had so reported the crimes
of lower New York as to arouse the
city to reform the shocking conditions
there. The philanthropic reporter
hesitated, gave one or two possible
reasons, then added, "And then, you
know, J am a Christian, and when a
Christian sees a wrong he must do
his utmost to right that wrong." j
If this attitude were possessed by
all Christians it would change the en-*
tire aspect of thtS nation's life.

Prominent Democratic leaders at

This man. to whom the world look

mendous financial problems growing
out of the Worii War. is regarded by
Senator Carter Class of Virginia and
others as the one outstanding Dem
ocrat to whom the party pain turn.
"He is a man of unquestioned ability
and accomplishment," says the Sena
tor.
Mr. Young and Oen. Dawes took up
the debt question In 1924, going to.
London wpthout any official status.
In Mr. -Young's brain was _born- th?
basic idea of the so-called Dawes Plan
? called so because Oen. Dawes was
the presiding member of the Repar
ations Commission. Mr. Younij. pre
siding over the most recent negoti
ations. with' J. P. Morgan and Thomas
W. Lamont as associates, cleaned up.
in leSs than four months, the biggest
and most complicated financial en
tanglements In the history of the
world.
This m^n of the hour Is the pro
duct of a New York farm who edu
cated himself. Born at Van Hornes
ville. in Herkimer County. N. Y? he
worked on his father's farm as a boy,
driving in the cows from the pasture,
milking them and doing the morning
and evening chores.
Later he guided a plow behind a
team of horses, helped with the har
vesting and did other forms of farm
work When he had time, he at
tended school, and later worked his
way through the law course at Bos
ton Unliferttty, completing a three
year coi*se In. two years while earn
ing enough for his keep by tutoring.
In 1908 he was already on the
path to success, though only two years
out or college, and married MISs
Josephine Sheldon Edmonds of South
bridge, Mass. Five children were
born out of the marriage and four
are living.
Mow Mr. Young is Chairman of
the Board of the General Electric j
Company and Chairman of the Board
of the Radio Corporation of America.
He has engaged In many public ac
tivities, and won many honors the
world over. Through It ail his love
for farm life has not abated.
For Mr. Young, after moving to
New York In 1913 and finding that
his business often called him to
Schenectady, bought his father's old
farm not far the scene of his business
activities. ? He and his family live on
the farm when he Is able to get away
from his many duties in New York
and Europe.

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. No, It Just can't be did. '

Buildings Razed And Unroofed;
Trees Blown Down; Hail Aid
Rain In Torrents
CROPS BADLY DAMAGED
The South "side of Person county
! was visited last Saturday morning
| with probably the most violent hail,
I wind and rain storm in the memory
| of the County's oldest residents. 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.
