THE STORY TELLER'S LEAGUE Some time ago the members of the fourth grade of the Asheboro Graded School met and organized "The Story Teller's League." The following offi cers were elected: President, Wm. Underwood; vice-president, Vivian Cranford; and secretary, Mabel Cox. The program committee for the first term is William Hamond, chairman; James Underwood and Ethel John son. These boys and girls spend the time from the afternoon recess until the close of school each Friday in story-telling or having stories read to them. For a while the legends of King Arthur will be used. The aim of this little organization is to promote freedom of speech, use of good language and to accustom the children to speaking to an audience. Every physician in Randolph county has been requested to help in this work and a few from other counties. STOP INSINUATING The Bulletin asks how can Mr. L. C. Phillips make such an array of school figures and then let the important matters of the county's finances go by with a statement of a very few fig ures. Mr. Phillips makes bold state ments because he knows they are true. He quotes all the figures that are nec essary to show the county's indebted ness and what more does The Bulletin want? Why haven't the Republican speakers met Mr. Phillips in joint de bate and shown to the contrary if they think he is mistaken? Why do they make those little in sinuations ? At every appointment in the county he has stood up with the courage of his convictions and has hurled these truths into the faces of Republicans everywhere and invited them to reply, but to this they are as silent as the dead. We know his state ments hurt you. Come out like men in the broad open light of day and: meet the man against whom you cast your little insinuations, and see how you feel when it's over.
