after blood-poisoning Anally over
whelmed his courageous resistance.
?-JPhe'cabinet member died at Waiter
Reed Ifoapttal. where last Wednesday
Tie underwent an emergency 'operation
lor appendicitis? Since then- he had
wavered! seldom conscious.
He was unconscious throughout the
day and hope had been abandoned
hourse before death occurred at 8:37
p. m
Attending physicians were surprls-'
?ed, in view of Mr. Good'* 63 years, by
' the vitality which enabled him to sur
vive so long while Infection permeated
his system. Several times this even
ing it was thought he had taken* his
last breath, but the doctors bent over
htm and discerned a faint "life.
Just before lapsing into the Anal
unconsciousness, the Secretary of War
had turned to one of his physicians
and said feebly:
"I have "Sever lost a fight jn my
life, and I am not going to lose this
one." .
Toward the end opiates and oxy
geil were -administered regularly to
ease his pain and re-enfore his
strength. The stubborn determination
to live persisted, but weakness from
poisoned blood slowly ov^rcakne his
tenacity. " ? >

also were at the hospital tonight.
President Hoover was among the first
to learn of the passing. He and .Mrs.

Our first quarterly conference will be !
.held at Oak Grove next Sunday motp
ing. following the preaching servicc at
the eleven o'clock hour. Since the |
quarterly conference will be held on
Sunday morning 1 think It best to omit
the Sacrament until our next regular
preaching servloe and I also think ;
It best -not to haV^'dlnoer on the
. grounds. This applies not only to
Oak. Orovc. but to any cbnrch on the
charge, where we may have 'a Sun
day confrcnece. at the only service for
the day. In each instance I am sure
representatives of other churches of
the charge wll find a cordial welcome
into the homes of the church enter

Blocked Sales During
The Past Several Days
Roxboro Market Had Biggest
Sales Last Week For
This Season
SOLD 760.912 LBS. AV. $24.72
At the beginning of the season the
warehousemen and the buyers set the
goal tjf this year (or ten million
pounds, and now It looks as If this
mark will be passed easily, as Just
about half way has already been met.
Last .week was the biggest week the
market has .had this-"season, belting
760.912 pouafis -for $188,164.94. averag
ing, for the week?and Friday's sales
were included when a large portion of
the tobacco offered was so soft that
the buyers could hardly handle It?
(34.72. Considering Friday's sale this
was decidedly the .bast week of-the
seaosn. and the prices were highly!
satisfactory." In fact very few markets
reporting, have made such ? showing
The season's sates have been 3.543.800
pounds, for $742JS1.43. averaging Jot
the entire season $21.66 .
In comparison with one year ago to.
this date the market Is considerably
ahead, both?In price and pounds. One
year ago the market sold, during the
week nearly 500,000 pounds at an
average of $21.12. This season the
Sales were fifty per cent more and j
the price about twenty per cent high -
er. ...
It Is most gratifying to' everv one
the manner in which the farmer?1
have been standing by their home |
market, and they realise that-there is
no real reason why they should not1
patronize the home market and thus j
help build up the County, the town j
and every business entrprlse in the ]
County by dealing with their oWn
friends and home folks.

The American Red Cross is not sim
ply a local organization, but it takes
in the world whenever any -part of it
is In distress. The? npopie of the South
have estpecial cause to. be proud qf It
and It? work. On April 25. 1929, a
series of .small but violent torandoes
Interspersed with hailstorms, left a
trail of death, Injury and devastation
"7>f such serious proportions that the
American Red Cross was asked to pro
vide relief.
On Aprlf 30, Governor' Hardman
broadcast over, the radio a gen
eral appeal for contributions based on
the best available estimates of the
great tosses* that had been incurred
and. at the same time, announced
that The American National Red
Cross would administer the relief fund.
Every Red Crocs Chapter in the South
Atlantic SUM* was directed to aocept
contributions for -the relief of the
tornado .sufferers but* Itobably be
cause many of the Chapters had just
completed their campaigns for the
StrattWMWm Flood Relief Fund, ttip
total collections amounted to only *31.
?02 89. To this the National Organ
ization added- a contribution of $10,
?47 0? in order to meet the,, needs of
the situation in Georgia add South
Carolina, arising from Jhls aeries of
destructive storms.
The statistical table putvldeir the to
talled Information by which the finan
cial statement Can' be Interpreted. In
brief, the figures ?how that 1.233 per
?tons were given emergency relief m
the form of food, clothing, shelter or
medical care and 304 families received
rehabilitation aid. Klghty-one dwell
ings and 52 other buildings were com
pletely rebuilt by the Red Cross and
38 homes and X other buildings re
