second C.M Matter.
THURSDAY. March 29, 190G,
It strikes us that it is rather ear
ly for candidates to begin their cam
paigns for a convention which some'
thins like six months off. What is
the use to rush the campaign? Will
it not be on time, anyway.
Randolph county under the
administration of a prudent
wise
and
honest and capable board of county
commissioners has never since their
installment in office had a coucty
order sold below par. The present
board of county commissioners have
conducted the affairs of the county
so well that the public hasj;faith
and confidence in the credit of the
countv. and we believe the time is
at hand when the county should
have a new court house and jail.
Tr is said bv th SO who ought to
know that there is an organized
.pft'nrt to be made to place Marion
Butler in charge of the republican
forces in this State. It is to be
done in this way, by advancing the
argument that the Rollius-Holton
Blackburn forces who are now in
charge of affairs are so engaged in
quarrels and dissensions that it is
suicidal to permit either faction of
the pieseut leadership to remain in
control and that the present dis
graceful state of affairs can be made
no worse than at present and that it
is necessary to have a m;t3ter hand,
a foxy, crafty, shrewd, calculating
and unscrupulous loader in charge.
Thev think they have all these in
Marion Butler. If present plans of
certain men in and out of the State
do not miscarry Marion Butler will
be in full charge of the party lead
ership in this State within the next
few months, but there are those who
say that Republicans are not that
foolish.
The Slow Mail Service in This Section.
There is much complaint in dif
fereut parts of the county about the
date the C'ol'hier reaches its sub
scribers. The papers put in the
Asheboro postoflice on Wednesday
night reach subscribers on Randle
man, R F D route No. 2 ou Friday
and sometimes on Saturday. Sub
scribers living three miles from
Asheboro get the paper three days
af ter it is mailed. We learn that
conditions are the same on route No.
1 from Raiidleman. The .mail to
Central Falls is sent out by the R F
D carrier on route No 2 from Ran
dlenian and we have reliable infor
mation that the Courier is received
by subscribers at the Central Falls
postoflice a day later than the pat
rons on the R F D route. It is some
times on Monday before the patrons
of the Central Falls oflice get
their Couriers.
We do not believe the R F D car
rier is to blame for this delay. JThe
subscribers at Randleman and at all
places and on all routes should re
ceive their Couriers on every Thurs
day and we intend to see 'to it that
each and every subscriber gets the
Courier an Jthat day or know the
reason why.
Labor Trouble at High Point.
There is to be a lockout at High
Point on next Monday. On last
Saturday when the employees at the
thirty furniture factories in High
Point were paid, notice was given
that members of the labor unions
would not be employed after April
2nd. This was done evidently to
force the members out of the labor
organization. It ha resulted in the
opposite course. It is said that
more than 500 laborers have joined
the labor unions this week in High
Toint. The manufacturers have the
privilege to employ persons of their
choice but is it right that they
should refuse to employ members or
Jion-members of labor unions any
more than they Bhould refuse to em
ploy members of any particular sect
or creed?
