Air Planes for Fourth?

Already plans are underway to
make the forthcoming Fourth Of
July celebration at Rockingham
a memorable one. The idea is to
make this celebration not only
countrywide, but for the sur
rounding sections as well.
The War Department has been
written to. requesting that a
number of airships be sent here
for the occasion. It is hoped to
secure several of these air-birds,
and these combined with the mill
tary features, will make this
Fourth a patriotic day long to be
remembered. And you native
sons who-are away, begin MAX
ing your plans right now to return
for Richmond county's big
Fourth Of July celebration. 1t
will be well worth your while.

Pay Your Pledges.
MIR. Editor:

u & w.
Will you please allow me to
make an appeal through your columns to
the subscribers to the United War Work
Fund who have not paid in their sub
scription2 The pledges provide that all
payments must be made by March 1st,
1919. A great many have paid their
amounts in full: on the other hand, there
are many who have paid in part and many
more who have not paid anything on
their pledges. If those who are still due
will kindly step into MY office and leave
the amount with John w. Porter or my
self it will certainly relieve me of worlds
of trouble and work. My services are
entirely without compensation; am not
even compensated for the postage and
stationery that lis necessary for me TO
use in conducting this work. To make it
necessary for me to call on each of you
personally. and there are hundreds of
them scattered all over the county, would
force quite hardship on me.
Hoping that the above win meet with
hearty response, | am
Very truly yours.

Pays to Advertise.

More and more is the want
column Of the Post Dispatch be
ing resorted to by those who
have lost articles, or who wish
to sell or buy. The Want
department surely possesses a
pulling power. If you don't be.
lieve it, just try it once.
Ben Palmer three weeks ago
inserted a short Want" advt
costing IS cents, advertising for
a mule, and before the paper was
two days old he had been swamp
ed with nearly a hundred mule
offerings.
A lady ir town lost a valuable
cameo brooch three weeks ago,
and a Want" advt in this paper
soon had it restored to her.
Last issue a notice Of watch
being found was inserted, and
before Saturday the colored own
er appeared, and gladly paid the
cost of the notice to get his lost
watch back.
These are merely a few of the
many instances of results OBJ
tanned. What it does for others,
it can do for you.
Mr.. Farmer, have you any par
ticularly fresh eggs, meat or
produce that you would like to
sell direct? If so, why not place
a short Want" advt in the Post
Dispatch and let some desirous
purchaser get in touch with you
direct. Try it.

Build q Building. !"
Build a Building!'

Build a Bullding!"
That's a slogan that will re.
sound throughout the Nation dur.
ing the coming spring and sum
lner. And there's a reason, and
a good one.
No building other than that
which was absolutely necessary
has been done in Rockingham
during the past year. Govern
ment restrictions, made necess-
ary by the war emergency,
practically stopped all construct
ion work. Now these restrictions
have been removed and there
are many reasons why building
plans should be revived and car
RED out as speedily as possible.
The CHIEF reason is the DE
MAND. The editor personally
knows of nearly score Of fam
lies desirous Of renting a home.
And there are doubtless num-
bers of other cases with which
we are not familiar. The crying
need Of our town is HOUSES.
Prospective residents are turned
away from this "best town of all"
simply for lack of a place to live.
This is a crying shame. This is
a condition that should be rene
died. Those of our citizens who
can afford to erect houses for
rent should take the matter in
hand. Our townwill be stagnant
Its growth is at a standstill all
for the want Of houses in which
to live. What say you men Of
means? Here is your opportun-
ity for service to your town and
neighbors as well as a business
investment for yourselves!

R. r. WRECK TO-DAY
Two Box Cars on Rockingham Railroad
Overturned This Morning. Hector

Broken Legs.

A derailment occurred on the
Rockingham Railroad this morn.

box cars to the siding, one empty
and one loaded with fertilizer,
when the derailment occurred
The fertilizer car turned over,
while the empty was showed
crossways the track.
Hector Little and two colored
men, Allie Pemberton and Wal.

cars, and when they telt the cars
leaving the rails they jumped
MIR. Little's left leg, just above
the ankle, was broken, compound
fracture; Pemberton's right leg
below the knee was broken,
while Walter Little sustained a

Pallner-Payne Distributors.

Elsewhere in this issue is an
advertisement of Bevo a very
popular soft drink. The manu-
facture of this drink was curtail-
ed during the war, but restrict
ions have now been removed and
it will be extensively pushed by
the St. Louis factory. The Pal
mer-Payne Co., of Rockingham,
has been made the direct distri-
butors for the St. Louis factory
for Bevo, with jurisdiction of four
counties: Anson, Scotland, Moore
and Richmond.
Another advertisement carried
by the Post-Dispatch is that of
Occo-nee-chee self-rising -four;
Palmer-P Payne also has the distri-
buting agency for Richmond
county for this -four, and it is,
proving so popular that they are
selling on an average Of 200 bar
rels of it a week now. This flour
is home product, being manu-
factured at Durham. 1t well de-
serves its growing popularity.

3Otl1 to Come.

The first unit of the Both divis.
ion is en- route from Brest
France, and should reach New.
port News, Va, by March 4th,
The remainder of the 3Oth will
embark within the next two
weeks, it is reported.
General Pershing has given
out a tentative schedule for EN-
barkation of troops, as follows
in March 212,000: divisions 9th,
3Oth, 85th, 37th and 91st. April
22l, 900: divisions 26th, 83rd, 82nd,
35th and 42nd. May 24S,0OO:
divisions 32nd, 28th, 33rd, 80th,
and 18th. June 100000: divis-
ions seth, Goth, 10Th and 10Th.
From the above it is seen that
nothing is said about the 81st
division the one that Richmond
county is particularly interested
in. It is hardly likely this will
return before July.
The above schedule will bring
practically all the troops home,
except those in the seven regu-
lar army units, by not later than
the middle of August! This
would leave in France, provided
the divisions and their auxiliary
supporting units were maintain
ed at full war strength, approx
imately 100000; it is thoughtthat
that number will certainly be
kept there until peace has been
signed and all danger of German
dirty work is eliminated.
