Have You Registered?

The town of Rockingham is to
hold an election on Tuesday,
April 18th, to decide whether the
children will have a chance for a
high school education or not. The
issue is as to whether 100000 in
bonds shall be voted with which
to build and equip high school
building.
The registration is an entirely
new one. The pooks opened last
Monday morning, with H. L.
Guthrie as Registrar, and the
first person to register was A. G..
Corpening, with w. Steele Low
dermilk as second. The books
will close at sundown April End.
Every man and woman in town
who is eligible for registration
should register without fail.
Above all things, remember that
this is a NEW registration, and
you must have your name re-
corded if you want to vote.

No Bridge Yet.

The paper stated three weeks 20
that a bin had been drawn enabl-
ing Anson and Richmond counties
to issue $4,000 in bonds, each, for
building a toll bridge across the
Pee Dee river. But the bill was
never introduced in the Legisla-
ture, and for this reason; it was
felt that under the new state road
law hard surface road will be
built between Wadesboro and Rock
ingham, and it was deemed best
not to build a bridge until it was
certain just what route the new
road will take.
1t is fully two miles shorter to
Wadesboro by way of Pee Dee sta
ton than the present road; and
since a hard surface road will cost
over $4,000 a mile, it is seen that
a matter of something like 100000
would possibly be saved by the
shorter road And this might have
some bearing on the road construc-
ton. Therefore it was felt best to
leave off the bridge matter until
the road has been decided upon.
The present ferry is serving in a
very satisfactory manner.

urged to clean up and place the
debris in front of their premises
SO these trucks can haul it away.
Rockingham as a whole is
cleaner than the average town
in the State, but that is not suf-
fcient-the town should be in
the one hundred per cent class.
Let everyone take an interest in
this cleanup movement and CO
operate to the end that Rocking
ham-the best town of all-may
be regarded as the CLEANFST
town of all. Altogether fer the
Cleanup Days.
The following notice regarding
the Cleanup Days has been

day, Thursday, and Friday, have been set

all rubbish and trash, and are asking the
citizens to cooperate with them by get
ting busy and putting all trash of every
description in the streets in front oftheir
property, in order that the trucks can
pick it up and carry it away.

BLoCKADERS CAUGHT
White Man and ColOred Caught at Still
Wednesday Night. Tried Today
Befne Hamlet Recorder and Sent to
Roads for Two Years Each. White
Man Puts Up $1,000 Cash Bond
for Appeal. Negro Unable o Give
Bond and is in Jail.

Federal Prohibition officers
(four) and Sheriff Mcdonald,
Chief Braswell and deputies
broke up a big still and bagged
their game Wednesday night.
About 1890 the officers, ten in
number, surrounded the still
near Gum Swamp, about 9 miles
from Hamlet, in Marks Creek
township. When the Sheriff ap-
preached the still, the two oper.
ators ran. But they ran into
waiting arms and were caught.
One proved to be a white man
named Graham Moss, lives in
Scotland county, and the other a
negro, Henry Beatty. The still
was of 200 gallons capacity and
18 gallons of whiskey were found.
The two prisoners were
brought to Jail at Rockingham
Wednesday night, and this,
Thursday morning, carried to
Hamlet where they were convict
ed before Recor Ger Leigh. He
sentenced each to two years on
the roads. Both men gave notice
of appeal. The white man stated
that he had funds in the bank at
Wagram, and so he was allowed
to 60 to Wagram in a car this
afternoon, handcuffed, with Off
GERS in order to get the required
$1,000 cash bond. The negro
Beatty is in Jail here at Rocking
ham unable to raise a $1,000
bond.

thing about new brooms." Well
everybody knows that new
brooms do sweep clean, therefore
common sense says when you
need a new broom, get it. They
cost more than they used to, but
they do Just, as good work as
ever" Maybe it would be better
to get a vacuum cleaner instead
of a new broom; change our
utensils entirely. They tell me
that vacuum cleaners will take
all the dirt off the pictures on
the walls, all the CRIME off the
curtains that shut out Gods sun
shine, all the ghostly accumula-
tions that lurk in dark closets.
A good one might remove the
ashes and tin cans out of back
yards and utterly destroy the
loose papers and filth on our
streets. Full directions for use
are written down and any one
with average common sense can
learn how to use one and even
the slender hands of "the weaker
sex" can guide one.
Have you read Leonard Mer-

unwilling to avail himself of his

freely and lovingly offered. In
his time of failure and disappoint-
ment he became sore and ugly
