26th. The open season begins in
Montgomery county also on the 25th,
ending Feb. 18th, begins in Moore
county on Nov. Goth, ending March
1st, and began in Scotland county
Nov. 18th, and ends March 1st.

and therefore the farmers best

it follows that there SHOULD NOT
BE A SINGLE PARTRIDGE killed
in Richmond county this season.
Save the birds. They are your
friends, and will repay you for all
the trouble and cost you may go to
in order to protect them from the
hunters. The pleasure of few who
enjoy hunting is nothing compared
with the very heart-blood interests
of our farmers. By all means keep
hunters from your lands and PRO

Richmond County :
New Store.

The Rose chain of 5, 10 & .25c
stores is to come to Rockingham.
The company has rented the
store building in the Hinson
Block that was formerly occupied
by Saleeby, and the place is be-
ing reftted and prepared for oc-
cupancy. The store will likely
be opened Dec. 3rd.
This will make IL stores the
company has, these being in Hen
derson, Roxboro, Lenoir, Laurin-

H. S. Bruin is temporarily in

The store will specialize princi-
pally in Xmas toys and novel,
ties for the first month, and then
develop more extensively their

1t now looks like the total cot
ton crop for the South for 1921
will be 100000 bales, and for
Richmond county about $4,000.
The Government figures issued
Monday for amount of cotton gin
ned to Nov. 14th showed 7,270,575
bales for the South, and 12,208
for Richmond county.
The 12,208 for this county is
1853 for the two weeks period, as
compared with 1868 ginned in
the previous two weeks. There
is really no cotton in the fields
now, and what remains to be gin
ned are odd lots; however, it is
probable that these will run the
total crop for the county to a.
round $4,000.

On last Monday afternoon
Sheriff Mcdonald, and deputies
Reynolds and Key captured the
two men as they were at work
putting up a still. The place was
in a deep gully about 400 yards
from Eb. Ellerbe's house, in Black

large wooden box, with copper
bottom and would hold 125 gal.
Ions. 200 gallons of beer was on
hand, ready for a run, and the
outfit would likely have been
fired up that night. Eb's lament
was IF had only listened to my

situation with many a violator of
the law; if such would heed their
wives, they would seldom get in
