The community or road trustees are to bufld the bridges. Stone piers are i Z Ka - .. he laid on and to be erected, the beams laid on and then the floor with railing. Bridges built in this way will be cheap and very strong and permanent. In this issue of The Courier we pub lish statistics showing the result of a decade of education work in North Carolina, by A. S. Brower, Statistical Secretary, State Board of Education. Mr. Brower is a son of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Brower, formerly of this county, but now of Concord, Cabarrus, coun ty, and is a grandson of the late Al fred Brower, of Brower's Mills, who tor many years represented Randolph in the General Assembly. . . - The commerce of the United States is practically destroyed with Europe an countries. To illustrate our total imports from Germany in June last amounted to but $1,827,889, as com pared with almost $15,000,000 in June, 1914. Our exports to Germany in June last shrunk to the absurdly negligible amount of $1,767, as com pared with $16,678,846 the June pre vious. Even from Mr. Roosevelt's point of view a commercial embargo could scarcely impress Gremany as a severe form of reprisal. No industry is so important as ag riculture. In fact no other industry in North Carolina is half so import ant. The effort to systematically ad vertise the vast possibilities, agricul turally and otherwise, of the State, is most commendable. The newspapers been 1 some more than others, have rloinu- much in urn-ins: the fanners not oniy u hum, u.-hc, v more cattle, sheep, hogs, horses and mules. This State is so well adopted to farming and stock raising that it is a grave mistake not to raise all our grain, cattle, hogs, and stock. We should let our wonderful advantage in producing grain forage and e- , mcr DC Known so xnai lanncrs aim . iiih i". I stock ra sers from other States will B , loc-.n e" Mr. J. M.

This statement? ve did not accept at the time as truJ)utU"v VvJi'" upon investigation we belne '-.the statement is correct. 'Farmers see the. necessity for raising more horses and ' ' k . I . j mules. "' ''-""i'V11 "'n V I 1 an unprecedented demand for hors es and miller and prices are stcp.dily rising in value. More attention will be Riven to raising colls in the future than in thj past. It is not neccs.-ary to have a .-tock farm to raise colts. Every farmer should have one or move breed mares r.nd rai:;c rolts fverv year. There is mrney in it, y can be raised and eared for. on every l.irm. A liEALTH OFFICER NECESSARY Every one admits the great value of a county farm demonstrator who teaches farming oy (4iowin;j ho'. We see the benefit resulting by im proved farming on every hand. Two blades of grass are made to grow here one grew before. More grain is grown, more live stock are raised and country life is improving in every neighborhood. Yet the preservation of the health and ' lives of the people is of much more importance than improved meth ods of farming. Twelve counties in North Carolina have whole-time health officer, placing North Carolina at the head of all-the States in-this regard. Oth er counties have half-time health of ficers whe are doing much for the public health aad welfare, . i .With the advantage of free public H iii liJr srhool adanveveincreasing interest in P.uolic education,, there- iegject of proper, observation, of Jhe laws of health and sanitation. ... -Troper knowledge and information ;ould prevent, the.

His letters will not be copies of bulletin boards, nor will they contain the usu al gush nd slush and fulsome praise f mediocre politic-ans and so called statesmen who make it a point to get f ? "'" " j to prrnt in one way or another, and I forever and eternally building fences to stay in or get in, Mr. Plummer has served far beyond his apprenticeship. The Greensboro Daily Record aptly says, and has made a reputation for honesty in his work and for idealism in the profess ion. Mr. Plummer was born and reared in Randolph and most of his young manrood was spent in Asheboro where he obtained his early education. His father was Mr. W. A. Plummer, who was for some years superintendent of the Asheboro Furniture Company. Mr. W. F. Plummer who used to clerk for Mr. W. J. Scarboro, now a Salis bury banker, is a brother of the young newspaper man. SEND THE CHILDREN TO SCHOOL The time is at hand for the begin ning of the schools and every effort should be made to place every child possible in school and keep them there every day during the term.' Our public school terms are short and the equipment in buildings, appa ratus and teachers inadequate for the needs of the pupils. This makes it imperative that we make use of the facilities with a view of giving the children the best possible advantages for an education. It has been wisely suggested that it would be well to call meetings so that plans may be made to get as mucn- hcnefit as possible from every scnooi. Not only should the building and ,.;,,;,, nf cm.i,; aj v. done to entertain, instinct and en lighten the adults of the community. Meetings should be held and the peo ple given a chance to understand each 'B couM b; remlere(, an(1 the , . . . . . . . pe0pc inspired and entertained. These ' . , , , Ci . i meetings would benefit the school as well as the people of the community. In thfs way the influence of the gchol will help build the community as it trains the young people and serves adults of the neighborhood. .3 ROADS NEEDED t a X r !A gp:i)lemanvlioVravers much ov er the county sue-jrests tne building of two important improved roads. one leading off to the left from the Franklinville road at the Simmons place four miles from Asheboro and runnint? by Free's school house and through Cedar Falls and on to Gray's Chapel and thenee to Linoberry sta tion and hy Red Cross to the county line at Julian, a;id connecting at Ju lian with the new road front Greens- linvn v!n lit, v. KtnW to Hie vn.nl t 1!rown,g Cro's8 Roa(ls from Asho boro vi.n through Franklinville ani Ramsevr to the Chatham line. This proposed road would not have I more than four per cent, grade any where except at Cedar Falls, and that can be made four per cent, grade by going around the hill. Little grading would be necessary excevt to round up the old road, and the surfacing material " is at hand. No road in the county can be built at so small a cost. Another road needed is a good hard surfaced road from the Moore county lin one mile below Brower's Mills to Asheboro via Erect and direct to Asheboro by way of Flower Hill and J. M. Allen's and A. C. Cox's and thence to Asheboro either the old Cox road or by the Col. Jesse D. Cox place, now owned by K. LvWinningham and up Richland Creek to the Wm. Henly place and thence to the county seat Tkis ai would test moie that the Cedar Falls-Gray's Chapel road. The present read could not be followed nit ! t where. tVp large, iuils.,.are(-buti- good Jocation w ith light ' grades could be obtained , at reasonable, expense. .This road would afford an opportu nity , for many large farmers to mar ket their crops. A. sufficient amount bf.mpney can po. doubt be raised by the citizens liv ing along these two proposed roads to .supplement an amount appropriat ed by the county to complete these two important highways. ., ., THOUGHTLESS REPUBLICANS The Wilmington Star calls attention to how thoughtless Republicans were when -in power as compared with their wonderful capacity to think since they were relegated to back seats. The Star says that is strange how many things thoughtless Republicans did not think about and do when they were in power and had a chance to think. When they were in power they made washerwomen of our noble tars and humiliated the men on our war ships by making them go to the wash tub and do their own laundry work. They asked us to respect the uniform of our boys who were serving in the army and the navy, but they did not have to ask as to do it. We think the uniform is a badge of honor, with us, in this case, the clothes proclaim the man. However, the Republicans never thought of installing laundries on our warships so they could do in a hurry and it much less cost what the men on the ships had to do for themselves Republicans neglected a duty and had no idea of efficiency. They have let Secretary Daniels put it all Over them. The Democratic Secretary has decided that the bluejackets can be employed to greater advantage than to be re quired to do drudgery and mess around like a lot of women. He is going to have laundries installed on the battleships and other vessels of the navy. This will be the blow that will al most kill the lantern-jawed libellants who have been putting mouth on Sec retary Daniels and putting dirt on him in print. They will have to crawl .n and ask to be kicked. EAT CORN BREAD AND GRAHAM BREAD Most people eat too much, and es pecially too much meat. No wonder meats are high, for they constitute the principal article of diet especially at the hotels and eating houses every where you go. Few vegetables are served and when served, it is so sparingly that, they amount to little in the make up of the meal. We heard little when we were chil dren of graham bread for the rea son that the flour in those days was ground in buhr mills and was more wholesome than the white flour we have in these "degenerate" days. And again most families had corn bread twice a day, and some of them in the days that followed the Civil War at com bread three times daily, sometimes having biscuit for break fast. The salt rising "loaf bread" in those days was a rarity, and the corn-pone when cooked in the old way in an ov en, by the fire place was superior bread, but nothing was better . than corn bread baked in the skillet or ov en, cooked crisp and brown, with prints of the fingers on it; and crack ling bread cooked in this way was par excellence, to use an expression of the day, aptly expressing its su periority. L Com bread has mot been so popular of late years, because it has been claimed that it produced pellegra, but that theory has been exploded for row it is pretty generally conceded that the eating of cora bread has nothing to do with producing pellagra. Some of the best medical authorities claim that pellagra is due to the bite of bed bugs. Others claim that lack of nu bilious diet is the cause, but no one now claims that hot biscuit made from white flour is a popular diet for any one to eat. When wheat bread is eaten it should be made from graham flour, other wise whole wheat flour. Another ax title some other time will be written for this paper giving reasons for the use of corn bread. From time to time The Courier will publish simple household recipes for preparing simple plain foods. These recipes will be gathered from the best obtainable sources for the bene fit cf housewives. The series of services will begin at the Baptist church Sunday 21. The public is 'dially invited. Rev. L. R. Piuette, of Charlotte will do the preaching. Come one, come all. Yours to serve, R. E. POWELL, Pastor. I will open a Meat Market on Main Street at the Winalow Market Place, Saturday, September 18th and would appreciate your trade. SAM PHILLIPS. 11,11 i" fnf .1 THEKOTjROLI,, Death of Little Fred Lackfy Last Wednesday, the" little' son' of Mr.'and Mrs: Dolph Lackey, of Staley, unfortunately fell into a bucket of boiling water and was burned so se riously that he died Thursday. ISAAC E. SHEFFIELD DEAD Mr. Isaac E. Sheffield, of near Spies, Moore county, died Sunday the 12th inst. and was buried at his home place on Sunday afternoon. The funeral services were conduct ed by Rev. Midget, of Hemp, pastor of Elise circuit, M. .E. church. Mr. Sheffield was never married. His age was 79 years. He learned early in life how to make money and save it. His estate is estimated to be worth thirty thousand dollars. He was a miller, having owned and op erated four grist mills. He also owned much land was a successful farmer. As age advanced he sold three of his mills and with other accu mulations invested largely in interest bearing bonds. It is believed he was a large depositor in a Greensboro bank. For many years he has lived by himself, prepared his own meals and felt perfectly at home, not caring for any of the luxuries of the day. He preferred friends call to see Mm and showed his hospitality to them in his simple life. ' No will has been found. He is survived by three brothers and two sisters: Mr. H. C. Sheffield, of Spies, Mr. Elijah Shef field, of Eagle Springs, and Mr. Na than Sheffield, of near Randleman. Mrs. Jane Brewer and Sarah Shef field, of Spies, all of whom were pres ent at the funeral TRINITY MAN AT CITY POINT, VA Mr. Georsre F. Foutz, of Trinity, who went to City Point, Va., several months ago to work as a carpenter, is not much pleased with the "Point" and is to return home in the next few- days. Mr. Foutz, who is a well known young man, member of the Trinity Coucil of the Junior Order and an ex perienced carpenter, writes to a friend in Trinity as follows: 'I got $5.00 a day for my work at the DuPont dorks and the money would look good and big in Trinity, but it is not enough to pay a man to live in the bad place when he could be in Trinity. There are about 2.",- 000 men at work here, all making the explosive known as gun powder, and it is said that one bale of cotton a minute is used, which would just about use un in a year all the cotton raised in North Carolina. It might be all right except that the evil in fluences are enough to drown out ev erything else,' saloon and all kinds of dens of vice thick as they can stand, and every known influence of evil to drag men down to hell. It is no de cent place for any man who th:nks anvthine of himself and of his family, and any other Randolph citizens who are thinking of coming here, hai set ter get the notion out of their heads." TO WORK ROADS The roads of Randolph should he placed in tip top condition. A call should be issued for all .'able bodied citizens to get to work the- roads for two days this fall. These two days should be devoted to workine the public highways in the county and in placing them in bet ter condition. NOTICE OF LAND SALE UNDER ., .
