a small brick house was built, but on
account of some defect in the wall it
became unsafe and was torn down.
In 1835 another brick building was ter advertising medium than ever be

The first jail stood where Colonel
McAlister's brick store stood. It was
destroyed by a colored man whos pur
pose was to burn loose the staples
that chained him to the floor and make
his escape. In this, however, he fail
ed. The present jail was built about
the year 1851.
About fifty-five years ago, while
Asheboro was still a small village, a
plank road extending from Salem to
Fayetteville was constructed, running
through this town. On this road ran
the stage coach, .which at that time
was the moat rapid means of travel
ing. When the stage coach was about
two miles from town the bugle would
be blown to let the people who kept
boarding houses know it was coming,
in order that they might prepare for
passengers. As the bugle rang out
with wild echoes among the hills an
nouncing the approach of the mail, all
the town was astir; there was a lull
in business; some stood in doorways,
while others looked from windows to
see the passengers and to hear the
first break of news, and also to catch
a glimpse of the marvelous vehicle
of transportation. The toll house
stood where Dr. W. J. Moore now
lives. There the horses were exchang
ed for fresh ones, and the journey
was continued.
In the year 1776 there were two
churches. At that time there were
two academies; male and female, con
ducted by Mr. and Mrs. Colton. The
former was located where Mr. Arm-
field now lives. The latter where the
present school building now stands.
Dr. and Mrs. Colton were splendid
teachers, and prepared the students
for college. They were well drilled
in English, and one of the things they
were compelled to do, was to parse
all of "Paradise Lost." They were
also carefully trained in mathematics
and science. All who entered college
from this school were considered
among the best grammarians and
mathematicians.
In the year 1889 the High Point,
Asheboro & Southern Railroad was
completed to this place. Since the
completion of this rialroad, tremen
dous strides have been made, despite
the difficulties that had to be encoun
tered. The town immediately set
about to build a new depot, which
stood for many years; in fact until
the present one was built. This be
came necessary on account of the in
crease of transportation. We have
two railroads, the Southern and the
Norfolk-Southern; with twelve pas
senger trans arriving and leaving
daily except Sunday.
About forty-five years ago the main
industries were a cowbell, buggy and
blacksmith (.hop, and several general
stores. Asheboro now has one of the
most magnificent court houses in the
State. It was built in the year 1908,
the plans being drawn by the archi
tects Wheeler, Runge and Dickey, with
J. R. Owen as builder. The first
court was held in July 1909. The
walks surrounding it are paved and
the grassy lawn is well kept. In front
of the building stands a Confederate
monument, erected in 1911, under the
auspices of the Daughters of Con-

This is a remedy that every family
should be provided with, and especial

of the pain and suffering that must be
endured when medicine must be sent
for or before relief can be obtained.
This remedy is thoroughly reliable.

federacy. On the west side are the
neat law buildings. All of which helps
to make the place look very attractive.
We now have two banks; the Bank
of Randolph, and the First National
Bank; Building and Loan Associa
tion; three chair factories; The Ran
dolph, the Piedmont and Ashebcro
Chair Compcny. The Randolph Chair
factory is the largest double cane fac
tory in the South. We have three
roller mills; the Asheboro Roller
Mills and Southern-Crown Milling
Company. The Southern and Crown
were consolidated a few yeari ago.
A hosiery mill, the Acme Hosiery
Mills, a large number of progressive
merchants, electric lights, a fire com
pany, two newspapers; The Courier,
and the Randolph Bulletin, two gar
ages, five livery and sales stables,
and a wheelbarrow factory. We have
good roads extending in all directions,
good doctors; up-to-date hotels and
cafes, and many accommodating peo
ple. Cement walks are on all the
principal streets. The population has
increased' from about two hundred in
the year 1876 to about twenty-five
hundred; the last census having been
taken in 1910.
Our school building is one of the
best in the state, and our school ia
second to none. When the term of
1914-15 opened, there were enrolled
about 530 pupils one-fourth of the
town. The average attendance for
the year has been around 95 per cent.
When the Woman's Club completes
their work on the grounds, we will
have one of the prettiest school
grounds in the state.
Thus as Mr. J. A. Blair said in his
history of Randolph county, written
in the year 1890:
"Amid the circling hills of pine,
where the golden light of day first
breaks upon the dew-gemmed hills;
where the tremulous light of evening
lingers on the crest of lovely moun
tain pines, without a boom, without a
puff, without even asuming an air of
greatness, with more merit than
praise, Asheboro has stood one hun
dred years the home of beauty and
culture and intelligence. Her talent
has honored the state. The virtue of
her people has shed a living lustre
upon the age. Before her toil the
forest has retreated. Homes of art
and industry have extended, and her
blossoming borders are crowned:
With meadows and orchards and
homes and farms,
Where Nature has lavished ineffable
charms."' - - '
