H e a r D About T o w N Now Is a good time to visit the poet office; the floor has been oiled, cob webs all brushed down, in fact it is spick and span. Reason: Inspector ex pected. ? ? ? We kinder believe it would be a good idea to make application to the PWA, or maybe it should be the WPA, for an airport and an armory for Roxboro. Of course, we have no earth ly use for either, as we do not have any soldier boys, neither any flying machined, but the government seems to be looking with favor on these two propositions, and not at all in fa vor of more worth while propositions. About two years since the town put quite a bit of money in what was sup posed to be a swimming pool, with the understanding that it would be com pleted by government money from some of the many alphabetical set ups, but the cement hole in the ground is all there is to show for it. Yes, let's try for an airport. ? ? ? The 1930 census gave Roxboro a population of 3657, but judging by the number of children on the school grounds Tuesday there must be at least twice that number now, or else the families must average about 16.3 per family. Roxboro has been discriminated against in the way of opening of the tobacco market, this market opening two weeks after neighboring markets opened; the result has been hereto fore that many loads of tobacco which should have been sold on this market went to said neighboring markets. Well, well bet you a ginger cake there! will not be so many this season, that is, unless the price gets better. o BARJRED The Post Office Department contin-j ues its efforts to prevent sweepstakes operators in Canada, Cuba and Ire land from operating in this county. Last week 128 were banned from the mails under a fraud order. o IT DOESN'T At 20 we don't care what the world thinks of us; at 30 we worry /ibout what it thinks of us; at 40 we discover it doesn't think of us. ?

Three Fighters Who Will Appear On Next Card Here JIMMY PATTISALL TOMMIE BARTON J. P. MORGAN, JR. Here are three good reasons why you should plan to be at the next boxing card to be presented here on Sep tember 27th. Pattisall will meet Campbell. He is welterweight champion of Virginia amateurs and has made an excellent record in the ring. Conqueror of Oakley on July 4, Pattisall will make his second appearance here on 27th. Morgan and Barton, both of whom have fought here before, and who have impressed their audiences with good fighting will also fight here on the same card, Morgan meeting Tommy Sea well of Ca-V&l, and Barton meeting Malcolm Umstead of this city. Pattisall To FightCampbell In Main Bout On Sept. 27th Conqueror Of Oakley To Meet Duke Campbell, Who Won From Cox In Last Event The headliner for the boxing event to be staged at the Winstead Ware house here on Friday night, Septem ber 27, at 9:00 P. M. will be between Jimmy Pattisall, 142 pound fighter of Danville, Va., and Duke Campbell, 140, of Durham. They will engage in five two-minute rounds. Pattisall has appeared here before when he knocked out Clyde "Jack" Oakley in the first moments of the first round on July Fourth. Campbell made his first appearance here when he won from Fred Cox of Danville in the main event of the last fight. Both fighters have impressed audiences with their fighting and it is felt that this fight will be well worth seeing. Other bouts scheduled for the same card include Malcolm Umstead, 152 pounds of Roxboro vs Tommie Barton, 148 pounds, of Danville; Thomas Sea well, 132 pounds, of Ca-Vel, N. C., vs J. P. Morgan, Jr., 126 pounds, of Danville; Thomas Rigley, 110 pounds, of Danville vs Charlie Atkins, 108 pounds, of Danville; and one colored bout between "Snake-Eye" Tharpe vs "Dee" Amos of Durham. These fight ers weigh 158 and 156 pounds respect ively, and should put up a good scrap, as fans who have seen Amos, a new comer to the ring here, say that he will be a match for the mighty Snake-Eye. Readers will note that this card pre sents many newcomers to the Roxboro arena, and it is felt that this will be one of the best cards ever presented j for the enjoyment of local fans. Ad mission will be: general admission 25c; ringside, 25c. n JALONG NEWS Miss Inez Pur pear is spending sev eral weeks in Danville, Va? where she is finishing a beauty course.

"Gone but not forgotten." By her friend, Miss Maggie Saunders. X. HOW THE CONSTITUTION GREW The Constitution was not intended to be a rigid body of law, but a broad statement of democratic principles and a set of rules for the application of those principles. For as long as the Legislative, Executive and Judicial branches of the Federal Government adhered to those principles and were guided by those rules, they were given almost a free hand to do anything that changing circumstances and con ditions might require to be done. If at any time it seemed desirable to change the rules, the Constitution it self provided a method of amendment. The growth of the Constitution, to keep pace with the growth of the Na tion and the changing times, has, how-ever, been accomplished not as much by changing the rules as by sur cessive interpretations of the rules by the Supreme Court. There have been only eleven amendments to the Con stitution in the 144 years since the a doption of the first ten, which con stituted the Bill of Rights. But through the decisions of the Supreme Court, the principles which were stated only in broad, general terms by the fram ers lof the Constitution, have been clarified and applied, almost from the beginning, in new ways to meet new situations. The great body of consti tutional law comprised in the decis ions of the Supreme Court has be come as much a part of the Constitu tion as the original document itself. It has been developed into something living, flexible, adaptable to every so cial and economic change in human affairs; yet not once, either by amend ment or by interpretation, have the fundamental principles laid down in the Constitution been abandoned. The growth of the Constitution be gan with the advent of John Marshall as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, in 1801. In the 34 years throughout which Marshall presided over the Ju Next Week: The Gn dicial branch of the Federal Govern ment, hardly a phase of the Consti tution did not come before the Court for interpretation. John Marshall's de cisions pointed the way to keep the Constitution abreast of the time with out sacrificing the principles of de mocracy. Marshall first seized upon the pos sibilities inherent in the clause giv ing Congress power to regulate com merce, between the states. His succes sors, following his lead, have made it possible by their decisions, to expand the powers of the Federal Govern ment in pace with social and ecnom ic evolution. No provision of the Con stitution has been more zealously scrutinized than this one, as both con gress and the Executive have con stantly sought to broaden the pow ers of the Federal Government. Up on the rather slender thread of "com merce among the several states" hangs a weight of Federal powers that would have snapped any less elastic provis ion. Through the bold exercise of its right to decide what the Constitution means, the Supreme Court has made the Constitution reflect the solid con victions of the people, throughtout all the transformations brought about by forces of which the framers of the Constitution never dreamed. The in evitable result of steam and electrictity applied in railroads, telegraph and telephone, was to unify the Nation, and to give the Federal Government steadily increasing importance as com pared with the individual states. "Hie great function of the Supreme Court has been to determine how far the Federal Government might exercise its powers to meet conditions thrust upon it by such physical unification, without infringing unduly upon the rights reserved to the states. ?wth of Nationalism BEREA NEWS Mr. Clifton Mangum Is still confin ed to his bed but his physician says his condition Is some improved.
