Duke v?. Pitt

business with any Roxboro cltlsen
Saturday -you will have to go to Dur- j
ham to transact that l|istne?a. for
they are all going to attend the great

doubtless be a grfat game, with more

Mr. Steve Dickens last Friday night.
The cause of the wreck has been a
little difficult to determine, but the
best explanation the Lboys could give,
was that something went wrong with
the lights causing the driver to lose
control of the car which left the
road and headed out through, a field

Hard For The Affray; Second
Game Of Season
The classic of school football in
Person County will come ofT Friday.
Fair Day. between Roxboro and Bethel
Hill. The game will be played at
Bethel Hill at 3 p. m., and admission
will be twenty-flve cents.
There are no scores with which to
ompare the teams. Bethel Hill has
won one game from t) lchsville by
20-0. while Roxboro haS lost to the
strong Oxford eleven by a one-sided
score. Scores mean little however,
when these two teams meet as each
team plays against the other as th6ugh
it were the only game of the season.
Coach Parrish nor Heflner have
given any indication of the starting
team, but it Is probable that each will
vtart about the same teams as started
tn the first game.

Genjian Covers Six Miles In Rocket
Propelled Airship; Rises 250 Feet
Frankfort - On - Main. Germany,
Sept. 30,?Fritz von Opel today
made the world's first flight In a
rocket propelled, plane, success
fully covering a distance of six
miles at an altitude of 2S0 feet.
Von Opel's machine made its
landings as well as takeoff by
means of rockets, some of which
acted as brakes And brough him
safely to the ground. ^The air
man suffered a minor accident
before his successful flight. The
hair on the back of his head was
burned off in two failures to rise.
The rocket machine is called
the "Sander Rak One" being nam
ed after its instructor, the engi
neer, Frledrlck Wilhelm Sander
oil Wesermuende. It weighs about
550 pounds, plus a weight of 110
pounds In rockets. It has a wing
spread of 40 feet.
Von Opel's first two failures to
day were attributed to the fail
ure of the batteries which ignite
the rockets.
As a result of Von Opel's suc
cessful flight it W asserted that
catapult contrivances like those
on the new North German Lloyd
line Bremen will soon be outclass
ed by a much lighter rocket ap
paratus.
Von Opel ntade his tests today
with powder rockets, but expects
to adopt a new liquid fuel Inyented
by Sander. L '

down Main Street in the town's car
when with no warnnig whatever, he
found that the car was headed direct1
. ty into one of ,the. big telegraph poles,
and before "any extra steering could
alter its course a severe crash was
experienced, and as a result the Chief
; Is suffering with a fractured rib and
other minor bruises, while his two
fellow passengers were Jonly sliShtly
shaken and bruised. The car was
badly twisted -und otherwise damaged
and Chief Oliver stated that his big
gest regret was the fact that tile
damaged car was the-property of the
city and that he had always tried to
use care and prudence in Its use. and
can hardly account for losing con
trol of It on this occasion, unless it
was the sleepy condition he found
himself in at that time.

Notwithstanding The Rain Many
Farmers Here, Some With
Tobacco And Many Just
Looking On
96,482 POUNDS SOLD
AT AVERAGE OF *14.82
We have never seen more unfav
orable weather for an opening day
than that which prevaljjd here jw
terday. It began ralntft? Monday
Afternoon, continued all fright and all
day yesterday, and Is still rairiing,
this. Wednesday, morning. However,
quite a number, of farmers came In
with tobacco Monday afternoon, and
yesterday morning they continued to
roll in. Regardless of the weather.,
there was a large crowd of farmers In
town, all anxious to see just how
prices were going to start oH. ,
The 'Pioneer Warehouse was on the
draw and got first sele. All of th?
various companies had buyers on
| hand, with several large independent
| firms helping boost things. The Pto
I neer had the largest sale and con
sidering the way things have been go
Ins* on other markets there seemed
to be no reason for tucking tags?In
fact, very few tags were tucked dur
i lng the day. - .
! The total sales at all of the ware
houses amounted to 96.482 pounds,
and averaged $14.82. Comparing yes
.terdai's opening with the opening ?
"v?ar ^igo we find that on Oct. 2; 1928
the market sold 115.808 pounds at an
average of $12.06. showing the sales
were off yesterday In pounds "but with
an average of $2.16 above one year
ago. Of course, the offerings yeater
I day did not represent the true grade
of tobacco for this County, as nearly
j all of It was of an inferior grade, and
It Is freely predicted that when the
[better grades come on the market the
orioe--la eoing to be very satisfactory.
All in all, every one seemed to be
well pleased with the sale, considering
the weather and everything.
Why The Grocer?
Occasionally a customer tells us
that he h^s. to pay his grocery bill*
first. There Is no reason on earth in
such a proposition. Th?s grocer's gro
ceries don't cost him money any
more than our clothing costs urf
money. If you ewe a debt it is just
as binding as any other and should
be paid as promptly. There is no
reason why a man should think any
more of his belly than he does of hL*
back. Pay all your debts promptly as
possible whether dry goods? or gro
ceries.
