NEWS GOMES FROM LlfcfiRTT Mr. Editor: F r many years some people in this section have advocated a new county omposed of parts of (Rao dolph, Chatham, Guilford aud Ala mance with tbe court house at Lib. erty. . To get to the court house in Randolph we are compelled to drive 22 miles across the country, or po by rail round Greeusboro and High Point to Asheboro. But new counties are expensive and rreel strife and contention. High Point wants a new county. High Point is only 22 miles from Asheboro, exactly tbe same distance that Liberty n from Asheboro, High Point is three .miles .north of the Raudolph line aid the people o Trinity and New Mtrket towuehip have the b sc facilities of any sec- tion of the oounty to get to the county seas. There is no reason on earth for a new county at High Point, but cer tainly if there is to be a new county is that corner of the count then by al means let us have two more new counties. One for us aud give a conn bouse to tbe citizens of the foui bigcoun iesof Cbatain, Gait ford, Alamance .and Randolph. Then would it not be well to let the people of apper Moore, lower Ru- dolpb, and eastern Chatham have a new oouuty with it county seat at Cheeks Millsr When tbe people in that section and in this and adjoining countieB go t tbe connty seats it takes two days to make the trip there and baok. Lft us have a square deal. It High Point is to have a new county, then let every other tepiriug and ambitious towns nave tbe same, Then again there is agitation for a new county with a court house at Denton. 1 be people of southwest ern Randolph, upper Montgomery, aud the southern pait of Davidson sre all far away from their respective county seats. Tbe truth is, there should be an end to the creatioa of new counties. If High Point's am lit on is to be gratified by taking off a slice of our county, then why not draw and quarter the old cm ty aud divide her up, and blot her out and vipe her iff the map. R. O.
