The Courier PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY VM. C. HAMMER, EDITOR Asheboro, X. C, August 26, 1!15 Beginning September 1st, County health officer, Dr. F. E. Asbury, will J conduct an anti-typhoid campaign for the extermination of typhoid fever in this county. Full details in this is sue. The treatment is absolutely five and entirely harmless. It is of the utmost importance if you ta.ke the treatment at all that yon meet Dr. Asbury on the firs'; round. Three sep arate injections at regular intervals are required before the treatment is complete. Let's make a determined effort to rid our county of this dreadful dis ease. You can help by meeting the doctor on each of the days and tak ing the treatment. PRACTICAL ROADS Randolph county builds its roads only from 25 to 30 feet wide. These are practical common sense roads. In other words our roads are built from a rod and a half to two rods in width. It is a prodigal waste of land and recklessly heavy maintenance cost to build roads as wide as the ordinary American roadway. Thousands of miles of the best highways of France, Germany and England are but one road wide. A well maintained road way, a rod and a half, about 25 feet, wide is more agreeable to use in the summer especially. The Country Gentleman, a high class publication, devoted to the bet terment of the home, the farm and the country, urges that American roads be built not so wide and that trees be planted for shade along all public highways. GO TO CHURCH A-go-to-church-campaign has been instituted in some quarters. One of the reasons assigned for going to church is to do so in order to be healthy. To quote more a length from one of the articles prepared in a series of articles,: "A man who does not go to church cannot have a healthy mind. A clear conscience is the greatest tonic for the body. No man can have clear con science unless he goes to church. Faith and deep religion can accom plish more than the most renowned physician. No man is happy in fin. True happiness may be found in God. You cannot commune with God unless you go to the house of God. God is the great healer. Let any Christian man deny that he is unhappy when he quits the church. He may be rich ard enjoy himself without stint with the pleasures of this world, but in th final analysis he knows and feels that there is something lacking. Men who have not entered a church in years can't conceal their delight when they get back to the fold. They know they are doing right when they go to church. And there is great satisfaction in do ing what is right. "Therefore, while there are a thou eand and one reasons' why a person should go to church, not the least of these is the reason that going to church makes for a long and happy life on this earth and life eternal in the hereafter. "Be healthy in mind and body! "Go to church Sunday and every Sunday! "Get your neighbor to do likewise! "Help along the splendid go to church movement in this glorious land of ours!" of all 1; w abiding citizens seeir.g to it th.t not only improper methods be prevented in the general elections but in i'.ie prima! k-s, u:e most resource fill place for evils known in our mod ern me. hods cf arriv.rg :-t a.: impress ion of f.ie will of ;he pec pie-. Legal ized primaries have me with public favor and justly so, but un'es. there is an organized effort in every pre cinct to prevent improper methods, there will gradually grow up a con dition of affairs, at least here and there. The best way to prevent vio lations of law is to begin in time, and not wait until after the opportunity has passed, and then cry tire and yell thief as some do who have par ticipated in wrong doing and fail to realize their wishes. Don't all speak t.t once anil say you know who does this way, for there are more than one, and it has occurred every time in the world's history where dishonest men and demagogues have failed in their nefarious schemes to hood wink the people; but in r.ll your lives you never knew the to "take on to" men of this type, and they usually with the toodles who lick their boot? dis appear in the sea of forgetfulness, and are never heard of after their rottenness and demagoguery became fully known. CONSOLIDATION OF DRUG STORES For several years Mr. W. A. Un derwood has operated two drug stores, one in his store building on the south side of Depot street five doo'S east of the railway station, and known as the Standard Drug Company, the compa ny years ago having sold out to Mr. Underwood who has been the sole owner for more than twelve years. The other drug store owned and op erated by Mr. Underwood was known as the Rexall Store and was in Mr. Stedman's building on Fayetteville street at the corner of the Central hotel lot. This store is closed, and the stock is being moved to the Stand ard Drug Store as fast as room can be made on the shelves. There are many toilet articles, sta tionery and many other things of val ue that will be sold at greatly reduc ed prices until September tenth, at which time Mr. Underwood will give up the store on Fayetteville street It is impossible to place all this immense stock in one store and it is necessary to reduce the stock greatly, and to do so a cut in pnees has been made that will make the bargains at tractive. Mr. W. A. Unde-"vood has accepted a position as traveling salesman for the Rexall Company, of Boston, is the reason for closing the Asheboro Rex all Stdre. Mr. James T. Underwood will have entire charge of the consolidated stores, and is assisted by Clyde Cox and Sidney Wood. HIGH POINT ROUTE 2 ITEMS An excellent primary law has been enacted. It is State wide in its ap plication to State officers and to coun ty officers as well except a few coun ties in Western North Carolina are excepted .ind as to a'l except State nominees counties throughout the State like Mecklenburg, Guilford and others having county primary laws heretofore enacted are also excepted from the provisions of the State wide primary. It applies alike to both parties. The law applies to all nominations in Randolph. The Courier gives a full synopsis of the law in this issue, and will in due time publish further and fuller explanation and details as to the provisions of the law. There is an important law enacted by the General Assembly of 1913 which provides adequate punishment for violations of the primary and gen eral election laws. All the good peo ple should unite in an effort to pre vent the use of money or other cor rupt means of influencing voters, or violations of the law in any way. For many years in most precincts in this county Democratic primaries have been held and have been fairly repre sentation of the will of the people, but they have not been what are known as legalized primaries. The Courier has every year celled attention repeatedly to the importance THE DEATH ROLL EDITOR JOE REECE DEAD SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION Joseph Martin Reece, owner and editor of the Greensboro Record, died at his ,home in Greensboro Tuesday morning.
