Prominent Caswell County
Resident Dies After Being
Struck By Automobile
FUNERAL AT HOME
THURSDAY AT 2:30 P. M.
Leasburg, Oct. 9.?Samuel P.
Newman, one of Caswell county's
oldest and best known citizens died
at Memorial hospital, Danville, Va?
this morning at t o'clock from a
fractured skull which he deceived
when he jumped ihto the path of
an automobile in front of his hojpe
here.
Twenty minutes after he was ad
mitted to .the hospital, Mr. Newman,
who was nearing his 74th birthday,
succumbed to a bad fracture of the
skull.
J. E. McFarland, who operates a
filling station near the Newman
home and who was an eye-witness
to the accident drove the injured
man to Yanceyvllle in the same car
that struck him and there he was
transferred to an ambulance and
rushed to the hospital.
Guy Tripp, a prominent resident
of Washington. N. C., was driving
the car that struck Mr. Newman. He
stopped and assisted in every way
possible, but said that he was too
nervous to operate the car further,
and Mr. McFarland offered to assist.
Got Out of Truck.
According to ar. eye-witness view
of the accident, Mr. Newman and a
Negro boy, Walter Elliott, about 16
years of age, left the store which the
former operates in Leasburg in a
truck loaded with gravel. The boy
was driving the truck and stopped
in fntet of the Newman home about
100 yards from the store and was
headed towards Yanceyvllle. Mr.
Newman got out of the truck and
picked up a rock with which to
scotch the wheel of the truck. He
walked in front of the truck start
ing for the driveway on the oppo
site side of the road when fJDt.
Tripp, headed towards Yanceyville,
sounded his horn. This seemed to
confuse the aged man and he walk
ed directly into the right fender of
the automobile and was knocked to
the tar and gravel pavement..
Mr. Trip, who Is about 60 years
old. was cited to appear in Yancey
ville this afternoon for preliminary
hearing regarding the accident.
Mr. Newman was one of Oaswell
county's nlost prominent ditlzens.
He was born about two miles from
Leasburg and for 18 years was con-,
nected with the tobacco market in
Danville. He has been a merchant
in Leasburg for the' past 19 years
and was a consistent member of the
Methodist church here.
His widow, Mrs. Elizabeth New
man, was Miss Elizabeth Chandler

Theft Discovered On Mrihday
Morning At Opening Time;
Loss About $400
On Monday morning when Mr.
A, 8. Hassan's store on Depot Street
was opened for business, the glass In
the front1 door was shattered. Sens
ing that something was amiss an
investigation was started and it was
soon learned that during the night
someone or a party of people had
broken into the store and made off
with a quantity of goods consisting
mostly of wearing apparel. Mr.
Hassan estimated his loss at around
$400, although a quantity of goods
was found at the back door, which,
apparently, it had been the Inten
tion of the theieves to take, but
something either scared them off be
fore it was taken out or they
couldn't carry it. At any rate It
Hassan. No clues as to the iden

TO A 0 TO 0 TIE
The Roxboro High Football Team
met the South Boston High aggre
gation on the local field Monday
and they battled to a 0-0 tie. Hie
local team, composed mostly of in
experienced players, had suffered
defeat at the hands of Reidsville

scoreless tie, since it was the first
time that South Boston had failed
to come out on the long end of the
score in several years of playing
with Roxboro. Coach Heffner and
his boys will, no doubt, give the
fans something worthwhile this

Mesdames Morgan And Barn
well Have Beautiful Flower
, Gardens
One of the most prosperous, yea,
and Intelligent communities to be
found anywhere is that section in
and around the Prospent Hill high
school In Caswell county. It was
our pleasure to visit this commun
1 ity recently and we were amazed
,at the wonderful progress made the
past few years; many beautiful new
bungalows line the road on Route
14, and we have never seen such a
profusion of beautiful flowers. If
you want to see something beyond
description make a visit to Mrs. W.
R. Morgan and also to Mrs. C. v.
Barnwell, and if you have any love
I fori the beautiful you will be more
I than repaid for your trouble. Mr.s
Morgan has about 100 of the most
beautiful.dahlias we have ever seen;
in fact, we did not think it could
be equaled anywhere, but she told
us be sure and sy the flower^
garden of her nelce. ,We drove over
to the home of Mrs. C. V. Barnwell,
and shd has in her garden 65 Varie
ties?and she can name every one
of them, which beggared descrip
tion. We were glad we, were not
called upcfc to gay whloh of these
gardens would be entitled to rank
as first.
Any community which takes such
an interest In flowers is Just natur
: ally bound to be cultured and re
fined. for the love of the beautiful
is a sfgn which can not be disputed

Averagir For. Everything Gn
The Floors Monday Was"
Above $35.00 Mark
SEASON'S AVERAGE
TO DATE IS $30.14
Notwithstanding the heavy break
here Monday the market averaged
above $35.00 for everything on all
of the floors, and the farmers were
jubilant over their sales. The total
sales Monday were over 150,000
pounds and. as stated above, passed
the $35.00 ljigh average.
Take the market as a whole and
the average for the season has been
$30.14?and we have seen no market
which has done better for the sea
son's- sale. For many years_ this
market ted the entire belt, but since
the 1932 crop, when it was almost
a complete failure, we have been
sliding and others have been leading,
but unless all signs fail the Rox
boro market is coiping into its own
and this year will be right up at
the front.
One reason for the market's low
average in repent years has been,
the fact that the farmers of this
county, many of them, have hauled
off their better grades and sold the
common on their home market, but
we are glad to say this year they are
bringing their best grades here, for
they are receiving jhe best price on
all grades.
You will find no better warehouse
men, no more active buyers, all pull-,
?ing together for your interest, than
you will find right here on your-'
home market, jind there is no .bet-_
ter place to sell than on the Rox

HOUSE ON AC
TIVE LIST AGAIN
Plans Are To Rush The Building
To Completion
The Community House, started
: some months since, and then, for
various reasons, apparently aban
doned, is once more the scene of
feverish activity, thus adorning the
caps of the PERA and of the Wo
mans' Club's efficient leader, Mrs.
S. B. Davis, with another feather.
For there has been no more inter
ested party in the finishing of a
community center than Mrs. Davis
has been, and it has largely been
her efforts in behalf of the com
munity house with the cooperation
of the PERA and other organiza
tions that have brought the plans
thus far on their way to completion.
The whole town will look forward" to
the day of decldatory ceremonies in
