CROWELL's TOWN EXCITED.
Threats of Bombing and Race Riot
Stir Town of Roxboro.

Rox5oro, the home OF Mr.. II. l..
Crowell, for years citizen of Mon
ice, is in an uproar over threats
against lives of prominent men and
property The following dispatch
from Durham tells the story:
Durham, Oct. 14.-The town of
Roxboro. county seat of Person coun-
ty, is in almost frenzy of excite
ment as the result of a series OF
anonymous letters in which the lives
and property of several negroes and
number of prominent citizens have
been threatened The letters, SINH
lar in design and each undoubtedly
written upon the same typewriter,
are signed "Roxboro, Person County
Mob"
The latest letter, received by j. H..
Carver, president of the Person coun-
ty fair, in progress at Roxboro this
week, says the buildings on the fair
grounds will be blown up ii negroes
are permitted to enter the grounds on
days when white people attend. Mr..
Carver has not placed a ban on negro
patrons and as result the attend
ance at the fair is lower than at any
time in its history.
One night last week house occu-
pied by an aged negro woman, who
failed to heed the warning sent in a
letter signed by "Roxboro, Person
County Mob" was dynamited The
windows and doors were blown out.
The negress was not injured.

DOPERS INFEST ASHEVILLE
One Man Declared He Had Been TAX
ing Shots for Sixteen years.

Asheville has been confronted dur
ing the past few days with startling
revelations of conditions among us
ers OF drugs and opiates, which re-
yealed conditions almost beyond be-
lief. For some cause the officers find
in their raids, which have resulted in
the arrest OF about so adicts, that
dopers from many sections of the
country have been congregating in
Ashevjlle and have formed a sort of
"dopers' club where they meet to
get the shots.
At hearings held yesterday IL of
the men and women were released
on condition that they leave the city
in "a hours, the officers holding that
tho defendants were not rightfully
Asheville's problems and therefore
this city should not take the goats
part in looking after them.
One of the men, "Red' Houston,
who says he is from Texas, was
found to be literally covered with
sore spots, which he said were caus-
ed by the pushing of the needle in his
body in taking the dope He said
that he had not slept in sixteen years.
just dozed from the effects of the
dope and had been a raving maniac
when the dope died out of him and
he could get no more.

NEGRO RUNNING FOR SENATE
W. Ashbie Hawkins. Negro, Enlivens
tho Campaign In Maryland.
(From the Baltimore SUM-


The campaign of W. Ashbie Haw-
kins. independent colored candidate
for United States senator, has reach
ed the point where the keen interest
of both democrats and republican
politicians is engaged. Last week
Hawkins was quietly campaigning on
the Eastern shore among the people
of his race, and the understanding
Is that he will spend considerable
time in the counties. His fight it
is said. is to extend to every section
where negroes are numerous.
This means that Hawkins candi-
dacy has become what most OF the
democratic as well as republican po-
liticians had little idea II would be
"a serious and sustained effort. IL
also means that for the first time
since direct election of United States
senators was instituted, a negro is
making a real fight among his people
for their support for senator. II Is
the first time in the whole country,
as we'll as in Maryland More than
that Hawkins candidacy probably Is
the first serious fight by negro for
his peoples support for senator. eth

or under the system of election by
legislatures, since the reconstruction

Whereas. this victory was accom-

gallant lads. and the armistice was a
surcease to. the agony of suspense of
all the fathers and mothers. wives
and sweathearts in this country
whose boys were in danger. il should
be forever marked in our annals as
a day of rejoicing.
Now, therefore, I. John c. Skies.

Under Republicans the Sheriff
Fears For Safety of Farm Banks
For This Reason He Is Opposing John Parfer His Per-
sonal Friend--Harding Fought the Farm Bank Act
Opposed in Republican Platform

tor Harding. that | am not OPP
posed TO practical measure which
does not 20 too far in fixing upon
the government "A function that is
paternally socialistic. am trying TO
learn from members of this body the
real reasons, however, for passing a
measure of this kind. | will not as
sumo TO say that conditions in Ohio
are altogether like those of other
states in the Union, but | believe i
state absolute truth when say there
is no more need for a measure of
this kind for the agriculturalist OF
the state of Ohio than for the gov
eminent to step in and take charge
of all our industrial and productive
affairs i'm that state"
Naturally. like the sheriff. one can
not help but experience grave fears
for this act under a republican ad-
ministration, especially when its
nominee for president was outspoken
in his opposition to its passage Nor
is republican opposition to the farm
loan bank confined to Senator Hard
ing. The platform of the republican
party for 1916 contained this refer
ence TO the act: I'VE favor an effec-
tive system of rural credits as APP
posed TO the ineffective law proposed
by the present democratic admins
tration. The fee that may be exact
ed is no smaller thar would be or Is
exacted by any well-organized pri-
vate company. The costs of exam
lining titles and recovering debts will
not be reduced. while the system can
not operate in Texas nor in other
states whose laws do not meet the
requirements fixed by the federal
farm loan board. The act has not
tempted to solve basic troubles. Nor
is II serviceable to tenants"
But the act has operated success
fully in Texas. II has reduced the
interest on mortgages from 16 to
per cent; and II has loaned hundreds
of Texans money for the purchase Of
land. Among some of the other ben
efits gained by farmers under this
democratic loan system are: One
hundred and twenty-five thousand
and three loans. totaling S346.616.-
ufl, Hidut III luitt years tNlSttuCt VI
system; loans made on basis )f 5 n
per cent, without commission; dent
authorized at end of "a years without
necessity for renewal or danger OF
foreclosure; placed landless men on
their own land. about - per cent of
the borrowers having heen tenants:
enabled farm borrower to obtain
money at lower interest than can
great corporations; lowe ed, stabil-
lied and made more uniform inter-
est rates on farm loans generally;
and has rescued the small farmer
from the mercy of the loan shark
and the credit pawn5rokcr
The democratic party has teen
the friend of the farmer; under
democratic administration the south
ern farmers have enjoyed tEeir first
real era of prosperity; and for these,
and many other reasons Sheriff Grif-
fifth is working for the election of the
man whom he fought in the primary
even though his republican opponent
is a personal friend
