The Courier PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY WM. C. HAMMER, EDITOR Ashebtro, N. C, September 9, 1915. Every citizen should work to build up Asheboro, should work to build up both town and county. Any people who really want it can develop a most excellent social life in the country. Good roads and Ford automobiles have made Randolph one big neigh borhood. The Ford is the machine in use everywhere and Randolph will soon have a good system of roads. Good roads not only help the farmer to haul by wagon ar' team but they help the fellow who has an auto as well. getting on the map Randolph county has been on the map educationally for years, but aft er a good roads campaign of twenty vears the old county is just begin ning to get to appreciate good roads Tho mineral resources of the county hnve not vet been made known. Th splendid opportunities on every hand have not been made known. The fact that this section of th State has one of the best climates on earth has not been noised abroad. We reed a vigorous advertising r,..!n-n to let the neople of the North and the Northwest know that ihia is. indeed, a rroinised Land What we have has not been made known. This can be done only by an advertising campaign. It will take time, and some brains mill Vifive to be mixed with the plan People are not coming to live with us unless they are invited, and ine must be invited not only in such wav as to make them feel that they ae welcome, but that they can live on the fat of the land if properly tnlorl There is no reason why there should not be a large and fcteady stream of settlers turned this way. GREATEST WHEAT CROP The greatest wheat crop in history- was raised this year. The yield is un nrecedented, and will cause disap tointment to a horde of speculators who would greatly profit by reason of the war. The total world crop of 1915 wheat is now estimated by American and English agricultural officials at 518, 500,000 quarters, which equals 248, 000,000,000 pounds or 129,625,000 tons, as against 456,500,000 quarters in 1914. A quarter is 480 pounds. Based in the inquiries of the Lon don, Grain, Seed and Oil Reporter, accepted by the London Statist as authorative, the wheat yield of the principal countries this season, as compared with last, is as follows, in quarters: 1914 1915 United States 111,400,000 120,700,000 Russia 101,000,000 115,000,000 India 39,300,000 47,900,000 France 39,200,000 35,000,000 Canada 20,000,000 28,000,000 Italy 21,150,000 23,000,000 Argentina 22,000,000 22,000,000 Hungary 16,500,000 20,500,000 Germany 18,300,000 20,000.000 Spain 14,500,000 16,000,000 Roumania 5,800,000 12,800,000 Australasia 3,800,000 12,000,000 British Isles 8,100,000 8,500,000 Austria 7,500,000 7,500,000 Bulgaria 5,700,000 6,500,000 The figures for France show a de cline because they do not include the yield in the ten rorthern provinces in the hands of the Germans, who planted and are harvesting the crops there themselves and sending the sur plus, if any, to Berlin. The figures for Austria include Bosnia and Herzegovina, and those for Hungary ir.clude Slavonia and Croatia. The London Statist says that Can ada, India and Australia can more than supply Britain's wheat needs this fall. The Canr.dir.n wheat sur plus will be across the ocean by Oc tober, and the Australian will be there by next January. The wheat surpluses of the different nations are estimated as follows, in quarters: United States 45,500,000 Russia and Roumania .... 40,000,000 Canada 18,000,000 Argentina 13,000,000 India 8,000,000 Australasia 7,000,000 Spain 1,500,000 North Africa 1,000,000 COMMISSIONERS' PROCEEDINGS The board of county commissioners of Randolph- county met in regular session in the court house Monday morning and transacted business as follows: C.

Wood Cash Clothing Company DANIELS HAS DONE THINGS Winston-Salem Sentinel. I It may be said of Josephus Panic 's. j as was said of Grover Cleveland, that j we can "love him for the enemies he j has made." j He Las incurred the opposition cf j Hearst, and of the armament ring, j He is r.ot acceptable to the cliques ef official Washington. In a paper contributed by James C. Hemphill to the North Americrn Rp-: view seme statements are made as to ! what Secretary Daniels has done. 1 Beginning with the assertion that! the Secretary has "done things," Mr. 1 Hemphill refers to the recommenda tion of Mr. Daniels that Congress make provision for the construction of twenty-six submarines at a cost of $16,260,000, and for the building of five dreadnaughts at a cost of four teen million dollars each. Congress acted on his advice. Under Mr. Daniels' administration there is an increase of 244 per cent, in the number of mines, and these ad ditional mines have been manufactur ed at a government station at a saving of $178,750. The stock of torpedoes has been increased 90 per cent. He has saved the government $150,000 in the cost of manufacturing powder. If Mr. Daniels had Flayed into the hands of the men who manufacture armor plate i nd powder, he would not have been 'attacked by Hearst and his other enemies. This government has an honest man at the head of the navy. And he is wise enough to disregard the attacks which are instigated by malice. At least, he does not permit tbem to worry him.
