When, on April Z, 1865 General Ulys-
ses S. Grant penned and dispatched to
General Robert Z Lee the first of the
historic "effusion of blood notes from
the Randolph House. the federal COM
mander's headquarters at Farmville. the
hosiery had already enjoyed well over
a half-century Of service as tavern, inn
and hotel.
The present owners. Mir. and Mrs.
William H Moore. Jr.. who acquired the
hotel in 1916 have on display for public
inspection extract copies Of a line Of
deeds tracing the ownership backward
from them to 1873 The line began when
trustees for the Town of Farmville decided
three half-acre lots comprising the pres
ent site. to Joseph Mettauer for 81 pounds
and IS shlllings.
Farmville had been laid out only the
year before on land provided by Judith
Randolph from holdings of the pre-emi-
rent pioneer Randolph family The prop
erty transfer was conditioned on the cree
ton of tavern on the site. Thus the
northeast corner of the present North
Main and Second Streets intersection, re-
served for the public interest, continues
to this day to honor that mandate of l63
years ago.
By 1904, the tavern of William A. Nor
ton. erected on the easternmost portion of
the lots. was a thriving proprietorShip.
That original tavern still stands and is the
oldest brick building in Prince Edward
County. Its handsome Colonial symmetry
and graceful pillars remain to please dis
eliminating eyes today. 1t is the rearmost
portion of the present structure and fronts
on Second Street
By l84l. Morton's Tavern had become
known as the Eagle Hotel, with its owners,
George and Sarah Jeffress In 1859, the
site was conveyed to the Farmville Hotel
Corporation, and it was about this time
that the present building, which was
added to and connected with the old tav-
ern. was erected. It's services were offered
the public as The Randolph House"
Colonel Richard Anderson Booker. an
officer in General Lees Army of North
ern Virginia. was the wartime proprietor.
General Lee rested briefly at the hotel
early on the morning Of April just be-
fore his meeting with Secretary of War
John Cabell Breckenridge. Quartelmaster
General A. R. Lawton and Commissary
General l. NJ St. John at the Patrick H.
Jackson home IN Farmville. The three had
spent the night there. Lee then rejoined
his troops across the Appomattox river
in Cumberland County
General Grant arrived in Farnville the
same day about noon and established
headquarters at the Randolph House.

1t is noteworthy to those who like to
look at their maps. that at the end of
the Civil War, the Northern forces held
the Southern positions and the Confeder-
ates held the Northern positions. That's
the way the final battle shaped up.

night ago, Ben Zimmerman, a
farmer and father of four children,
attended an auction and bought a
box of trinkets for ten cents. When
he got home and opened the box
he found an envelope, containing
LOO in bills of small denomina-
ton. An honest man, Zimmerman
went into a huddle with himself,
three times - trying to decide
whether to keep the money or re-
turn it to the administrator of the
estate where the auction was held.
Last week he came to a decision,
returned the money and was paid
$55, which represented the admin
istrator's five percent commission.

able soul said: AT least, his con-

Twins The Winners:
Sox Trading Of
BafteY Backfires;
Wish Thew Had Him

Chicago (ANP) - The Chicago
White Sox, striving to regain their
1859 pennant form and plagued
by catching woes, have repeatedly
sent out a coast-to-coast SOS for
help behind the plate.
With first string Sherman Lol-
lar having approached the age
where he cannot stand up under
full strain the entire season, the
Pale Hose are believed to be really
on the spot. The rockies they have
been banking on have not shown
that they are really ready for the
big leagues.
Yet the Sox kept a dream cat
cher warming the bench for years,
finally traded him off to Wash
ington.
He is Earl Battey, now one of
the top catchers in the American
LCdS uC' 1llC llloI oIlhAB SdNSllCA
for the former Washington Sena-
tors and now the Minnesota Twins.
Battey a was spark plug for that
team almost since arriving in
"DEECEE."
The Sox traded Earl to the Sen
ators following the successful 1859
season, and Manager Cookie Law
agetto quickly made him his No.
l backstop. The move has paid off
in more ways than one. Once
thought to be a weak hitter, Bat
tey has shown he can pound the
ball if given a chance to play reg
ularly. He was a better than .270
hitter last season.
The Sox could really use Battey
now. However, it is doubted that
would give him up now,
and the Sox brass are probably
too embarrassed to ask.

Marriage Again
Faces Breakup

New York (ANP) - The at
tempt by former Dodger catcher
Roy Campanella and his wife Ruth
to patch up a riff that developed
in their marriage some time back
apparently has failed and break
up now seems imminent.
That much seemed evident after
the former National League base
ball star placed paid advertise
ment in the public-notices section
of the New York Times and his
wife reacted swiftly to it. She
commented that Campy is IAN un-
happy man =" who considers
everybody to be wrong but him"
The advertisement which Campy
placed in the Times advised against
any financial commitment which
his wife might make in his name.
1t said: The undersigned will no
longer be responsible for debts
incurred by his wife, Ruth Camp
amelia. Roy Campanella, East Is
land, Glen Cove, Ii.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Campanella
said she hadn't talked to her hus-
band since March 8, when he left
for the Los Angeles Dodgers spring
training camp at Vera Beach, Fla.
Campanella is a special coach for
his old team. She said he came to
the house recently to see the chill
dren but he didn't come inside.
She added that all she wants is a
peaceful settlement. IF he doesn't
want to live with me, why can't
he just sit down with me and
settle it peacefully" she asked.
The Campanellas almost ended
their marriage last August when
Roy filed suit in Mineola Supreme
Court asking custody Of their four
children. However, friends per-
suaded them to think it over for
the sake of the children, and they
did.
Campanella was paralyzed in an
auto accident in January, 1858, but
their marital troubles began before
that.

Pick Willie Davis
& YuSfrzemSki To
Be Top Rockies

st. Petersburg, Fla. (ANP) -
AS spring training ended last week
and the various major league
teams headed North to start the
1861 baseball season, two young
outfielders were selected as the
leading candidates for this years
rookie-of-the-year honors in their
respective leagues.
They are Willie Davis of the
Los Angeles Dodgers, a fleet,
slick-fielding outfielder, and Carl
Yastrzemski of the Boston Red
Sox, also an outfielder.
The two were chosen from among
several promising rockies in the
training camps who seemed des-
tined to make the majors by the
Associated Press.
Davis is perhaps the more spec
tacular of the two because of his
great speed. He stole 35 bases in
1859 while batting 1856 to top the
California League with Reno, and
SO more in a split season with
Spokane of the Pacific Coast and
the Dodgers. He batted .346 with
Spokane to win the coast batting
title.
Yastrzemski batted .377 with
Raleigh in the Carolina League in
1859 and .339 with Minneapolis of
the American Association last
year.
Ironically, Yastrzemski, who is
a white player, received a 500, 900
bonus to sign with the Red Sox,
whereas Davis cost the Dodgers
a meager $1,000.
Davis, the National Lacquer, has
been praised highly by Eddie
Stanky of the st. Louis Cardinals,
keen judge of talent. According
to Stanky, Davis can't miss.
Hes one of the best looking
young outfielders I've seen in a
long time. He has everything ex-
cept power and he may develop
that" said Stanky.
Former Red Sox batting ace Ted
Williams called Yastrzemsld a ma
tural.

For Lost Tifle
BY LOUISE THOMAS

New York (ANP) - Benny
kid Paret Of Cuba, who was
dethroned recently as welterweight
champion by Emile Griffith Of New
York has indicated that he viii ex-
ercise his contractual right to a
return match.
Griffith, a pre-fight underdog,
battled Paret fiercely through II
rounds before unleashing two de-
vastating punches that stopped the
Cuban in his tracks in the 18th
round. The clean knockout by Grif-
fifth was the first suffered by Paret
in 46 pro bouts.
The victory brought the 22-year-
old Griffith the welterweight
champion, a goal upon which he
had set his sights early in his
career.
The defeat left Paret, who won
the title from Don Jordan on May
27, 1860, dazed and shaken but still
not convinced that Griffith is his
master.
Interviewed after the fight, Par
ct said he would like to tangle with
Griffith again, pointing out that
their title fight contract called for
a return bout within 80 days.
Meanwhile, Griffith was receiv-
ing adulation and praise by a close
circle of friends. A member of the
choir of st. James Missionary
church here, Griffith took the
prayers of the congregation into
the ring with him against Paret.
Afterwards, the Rev. Joseph D.
Albert, the pastor, praised him as
fine family man and a very meek
person with the heart Of a baby"
Griffith has been a member of the
church since he arrived here from
the Virgin Islands in 1850.

Charlie Sifford To
Play In His First
Dixie Tournament

Greensboro, N. c. (ANP) -
Shut out of a number Of other
Dixie tournaments, particularly in
the Louisiana Florida area, Negro
golfer Charlie Sifford, one Of the
nations top money winners, will
tee off in the Greater Greensboro
Open Golf tournament, April 13-
16, and become the first of his race
to compete in a PGA co-sponsored
tournament south of the Mason
Dixon Line.
The hard-driving Sifford got the
green light from the Greensboro
tournament recently, after the
board of directors passed resolu-
ton declaring that neither creed,
color nor race would be the basis
for rejecting an applicant to play
in the Open.
1st In Greensboro Tourney
While Sifford will be the first
Negro to play in the ego, break
ing race barriers in golf is not
new to him. He cracked the ice in
a number of other tournaments
leading up to this one. During a
winter tour of the westcoast, he
also was one of the nations most
successful golfers, finishing con-
sistently in the money. He won the
San Diego Open back in 1857.
National Negro Champion
Sifford's acceptance for the ego
was confirmed by Nose Kiser Jr.,
general tournament chairman, who
said: I'VE received an official en-
try blank from Sifford and he is
an approved PGA tournament
player"
Actually, the tournament was
extending a courtesy to Sifford as
a fellow Carolinian. A native Of
Charlotte, Sifford started his car
eer there at the age of 10 as a
caddie.
Sifford is a five time national
Negro champion, winning in 1858,
