Happenings In The
Jamesville School
The Jamesville Senior class had
a very enjoyable trip to Chapel Hill
Saturday, Sept. 20. After attending
the football game, the class motor
ed to Raleigh for supper. While in
Raleigh the seniors visited the for
mer Jamesville graduates who are
in school there.
The seniors recently organized a
social club. The name of the club
is Entre Nous. The purpose of this
club is for each member and their
teacher, Mrs. Hyman, to become ac
quainted with the different parents
of the class. The club will meet once
a month. This month it will meet
with Arthur Wallace Lilley.
The ninth grade entertained Fri
day morning with a very interesting
program featuring Dr. Askem. Those
failing to answer their questions
thereby gaining a place on the pro
gram were: Murray G. Davis, Mil
dred Moore, Frances Coltrain, JJer
nice Gardner, Clifford Corey, Ann
Modlin and Ben Lilley.
The third year home economics
girls feel very proud of their sewing
room for which they just completed
new curtains.
Tlie tenth grade boys and girls
have selected a ways and means
committee to begin planning and
raising money for the junior-senior
banquet. They have started early
so they will be able to give the sen
iors and visitors the best banquet
they have ever attended. We hope
them great success.
The faculty is planning to give a
play, "Mama's Baby Boy," October

Dixon Erected Mill on Cane Creek,1i
1753; Same Mill and Same Build
ing: in Use Today . . .
Reading between the lines in his
tory books would be fun. Try it by
turning to page 661 in volume I of
Ashe's History of North Carolina.
Near the bottom of the page this (
sentence is written, "On the night of j
the 22nd the British army lay at Dix- ]
on's Mills, on Cane Creek, in Cha-!
tham County/' This was one of the |
several stops made by Cornwallis
between the Guilford Battleground
and Wilmington.
The mill mentioned is standing to-1
day and is operated by a direct de- j
scendant of Simon Dixon, who es-1
tablished it in 1753. A few miles1
south of Burlington, this Cane Creek j
mill is located at Snow Camp. Any
one who wishes to read between theJ
lines in Ashe's history should stop '?
and ask for Mr T. M. Williams, the
miller. He is a very pleasant and
obliging man who is approaching his
diamond jubilee birthday. You will
hear the story of Cornwallis' thking
Simon Dixon's rock house for head
quarters. To protect his life it was
necessary for him to escape to a dis
tant refuge. Mrs. Dixon left her
home in British possession and plan
ned to stay with neighbors. Soon she
mn-jud her pipe and tobacco. When
she returned for it, guards had been
placed at the doors, with orders that
no one should disturb Cornwallis.
She was determined to enter her
home. The guard was equally deter
mined that she should not. The com
motion outside the door was heard
by the British General, who came to
the door. It was her home and he
permitted her to find her pipe and
tobacco.
For additional reading between
the lines, call on Mr. J. G. Pike,
whom you will find busy on his
farm at the age of 80; but you will

We are expecting a large crowd to

of new members this year.

Travel Light On
Way To The Army
Selective Service registrants en
route to Army induction centers
should "travel light." taking nothing
but essentials so as to avoid incon
venience to themselves and to the
armed forces. Brigadier General J.
Van B Metts. State Director of Se
lective Service, cautioned today
One small bag should be sufficient
to carry the things a selectee needs
until he is given his equipment by
the Army, the director declared. He
said:
never guess his years correctly. He
will ti ll you of Cornwallis' driving
70 eattle to Cane Creek and killing
them in an open field near the old
Cane Creek Friends' Church The
beeves were taken into the church,
and ax marks were left on the
benches. These were erased some
time ago by the burning of the origi
nal church.
The greatest tragedy was after the
passing of Cornwallis' army and the
return of the family. Soldiers had
been silk with typli.u.i ,
Simon contracted the disease and
du d His widow lived on until 1793.
"If you Wish, take a small bag with
a few clean clothes, a few handker
chiefs, socks, soap, towel, and other
necessary toilet articles. These are
not essential, for you will be isued
necessa^ equipment by the Army,
but they may come in handy should
there be any delay in your induction.
"Leave jewelry, large sums of
money, and other valuables at home,
for they may be easily lost. If pos
sible, take a little spending money
for such needs as you may have be
fore your first pay-day. Take some
postal cards or stationery and
stamps, a fountain pen, and an inex
pensive watch if you have them."
Selectees were warned by Direc
tor Metts to leave automobiles and
motorcycles at home. Commanding
officers will tell the men on their
posts if they may have these vehi
cles and the soldiers will then have
an opportunity to get them from
their homes, he pointed out. Unnec
essary articles taken to induction!
centers must be returned to his home i
by the selectee at his own expense i
or otherwise disposed of. Director
Metts said. j
