THE COtfRIER — THE COURIER Leads in Both News and Circulation PRINCIPLES, NOT MEN $2.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE Asheboro, North Carolina, Thursday, February 5, 1925 E a - NUMBER 9 SOLD A "f IN _ Road Supervisor. ssiacetajw The Randolph comity hqard of commissioners in regular meeting in the court house Monday with an members present sold bonds in the amount of *500,000 to Henry D. land lsey ahd Company, Inc., of New York, at a premium of *6,195. There were fifteen bidders for the bonds and the premiums offered ranged from *625 up to that paid by the suc cessful bidders. The .bonds bear inter est at the rate of four and three-quar ter per cent from t%e date of issue, February 1st, 1925. They will be issued in denominations of *1,000, interest , payable semi-annually on April 1st and October lit of each year, and will ' mature serially fifty bonds each year beginning in 1951 and fifty bonds thereafter each year until the whole series has matured. These bonds, according to the ad vertisement asking for bids, are known as funding bonds and are for the purpose it is said for taking up outstanding short term notes. The amount of the short term notes outstanding according to the auditor’s statement of December 1st, 1924, amounted to *447,793.75, including general county funds, bond interest fund, general and special school funds, • and other notes. Of this amount £85,000 is in the form of a loan to s’ State for the purpose of build big Route No. 76 from Asheboro to the Chatham county line. The State contracted to pay this back at the end of a year from the date- of the loan. It is not known whether it is the in tention of the commissioners to imme diately takq up this loan out of the proceeds of the bond issue or whether the holders of the notes will surren der same. At any rate, should all the out standing notes be taken up there is still- * matter of something over fifty thousand dollars left, which would seem to be an increase in the net in debtedness of the county in this amount. And this is in the face of a surplus in all funds of *55,086.09 as of the auditor’s statement of Dec. 1, 1924, which audit was accepted as cor rect by the incoming Republican ad ministration.

Raleigh, February 2.—Some one has said that a legislature is often times a body of men surrounded by much talk. So far, the General As sembly of 1926 has not contracted that habit and the State has reason able right to be proud of the person nel of her legislative body. The mem bers seem to be dead in earnest about doing the job they were sent here to put across in a perfectly proper way and are not disposed to let any “jok ers” get by. In both branches the legislative wheels go ’round with lit tle lost motion, or loss of time. The legislative grind is now on, some 400 bills having been dropped into the hopper and started on the journey to committee pigeon holes, or to the office of the Secretary of State—“Enrolled and Ratified.” While many will emerge fresh and clean as when the trip was begun, there’s go ing to be a goodly number so badly worn, kicked, abused, cruelly treated that their own dear “daddies” will not recognise the poor things when they meet ’em face to face on the Assembly floor. In his second message to the Gener al Assembly on Friday the Governor reiterated his determination to re vise the fiscal policy of the State and invited the cooperation of the mem bers in getting proposed new machin ery into action. He asks for a law providing an executive budget system which would provide continuous sup ervision of all the institutions and agencies of the State, to the end that the appropriations made by the Gen eral Assembly may be kept within bounds and expended as directed. Un der the budget system, covering the period July 1st to June 30, all reve nues actually collected during that period would be applicable to that fiscal year and all appropriations and other expenditures actually disbursed during the same period would be ap plicable to that period only. The Governor told the legislators that he would prepare and submit to them a bill embldying the provisions which he feeIs that the budget system out lined in hla message should contain and it is a safe bet that he will get exactly what he wants in this re BpMti ; ' '.$".3 y* The Governor places himself on record as squarely opposed to the is sue of more Hum $26,600,000 for all this year. He suggests $20, for roads, $3,600,000 for per DISASTROUS FIRE IN WAGGER STORE Fire Sunday Morning: Caused Damage of Thousands—Loss Fully Covered. Fire thought to have originated From a cigarette or cigar 'stub thrown imong some waste paper under a ta ble in the rear of the store caused *a iamage to the stock of the Wagger Clothing Company in the Lewis build ing on the south side of Depot street, in Asheboro, early Sunday morning amounting to approximately $15,000, and damage to the building of prob ably $2,000. The fire was discovered Sunday morning about 3 o’clock by Robert Bunch and Pearl Osborne who saw smoke issuing from the store building. Mr. Osborne immediately went up stairs in the building and waked up Mr. Wagger and Mr. Morgan, who roomed above the store while Mr. Bunch turned in the alarm. The fire was by that time burning briskly. The fire department immediately re sponded and was on the job in a re markably quick time considering the hour of the alarm. The blaze evidently from the con dition of the -part damaged started under the work table about six or eight feet in front of the stove in the back part of the store. At this point a quantity of large envelopes for wrapping hats were stacked. A hole about three feet square was burned at this place. The fire then spread to clothing and shoe counters arid racks and on toward the ceiling. Water used in extinguishing the blaze caused quite a lot of damage, although a number of racks of cloth ing and shelves of goods were burn ed. The stock of goods in the store at the time is estimated as being worth from $30,000 to $35,000, with $23,000 insurance on the stock and $500 on the fixtures. Mr. Wagger was in the midst of a large sale which was started last Friday and had quite a large stock of goods on hand. The Wagger Clothing Company, owned by I. D. Wagger and Sarah Wagger, had been in operation in Asheboro for about six years and has been doing a good business.
