RANDOLPH’S FERTILITY According to the agriculture census of 1934, Randolph county was placed second in wheat acreage, Iredell coun ty ooming first. In the 1934 records Randolph was next to Davidson in In acreage and production of barley, and in 1934 Randolph lead in the pro duction of wheat. Detailed figures ap pear elsewhere in this issue of The Courier revealing the record for the past two years. It is also an interesting: fact that there are now 911 more farms being worked in the county! than there were five years ago. This condition is ac counted for because of many people who desire to supplement their part time employment in the industries of the county with farming. In a county where the land is fertile and where climatic conditions are most favorable as well, this is an excellent idea. Ran dolph has long been knowrt as a fine place in which to live, not in one way, but in many. Her lands are fertile, her citizens aggressive and her textile industries excellent. Every county cannot boast of such versatile business. Industries are im portant and, as we all know and ap preciate, furnish the ready cash in a community. But, we also know and appreciate the position of the farmer _the backbone of any community. There is one phase of rural life, however, that has been too long neg lected in this county—that of cattle raising. Meats are high and with the vast pasture lands of this county that might be converted into pasturage at little cost, we should turn our thoughts and energy in this direction. Dempsey Barnes, M.D. H. L. Griffin, M. D. Office Over Postoffice ASHEBORO, N. C. PHONES: Office. 334 Residences: Dr. D. Barnes, 333: Residences: Dr. H. L. Griffin, 196 Randolph has, within recent years, greatly improved her stock of cattle, introducing many thoroughbred cattle in several sections of the county. More would pay as would hogs. Pork is high—almost prohibitive on the average table. Breakfast bacon liter ally has wings and Randolph hogs would be a .boon to the fanners who are always in need of ready cash. Now would 'be a good time to . take a look at the future and secure some extra hogs and cows in rural Ran dolph. TALK OF! PEACE Late, since there is active war be tween two foreign countries, there has been even more talk of peace. At times reports scare us lest the war draw our own neutral country into the mesh and many of us have become ardent pacifists. Mark Twain’s two comments on war and peace from “The Mysterious Stranger” have re cently been republished in a comment 1 in The New Republic. His description of war hysteria runs: There has never been a just one, never an honorable one—on the part of the instigator of the war. I can see a million years ahead, and this rule will never change in so many as half a dozen instances. The loud little handful—as usual— will shout for the war. The pulpit will, warily and cautiously, object—at first; the great, big, dull-bulk of the nation will rub its sleepy eyes and try to make out why there should be a war, and will say, earnestly and indignant ly, “It is unjust and dishonorable, and there is no necessity for it.” Then the handful will shout louder. A few fair men on the other side will argue and reason against the war with speech and pen, and at first will have a hearing and be applauded; but it will not last long; those others will outshout them, and presently the an ti-war audiences will thin out and lose popularity. Before long you will see this cur ious thing: the speakers stoned from the platform and free speech stran gled by hordes of furious men who in their secret hearts are still at one with those stoned speakers—as ear lier—but do not dare to say so. And now the whole nation—pulpit and all—will take up the war cry, and shout itself hoarse, and mob any hon est man who ventures to open his mouth; and presently such mouths will cease to open. Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-decep tion. The other document is his famous ‘War Prayer,” written thirty years ago and recently circulated again by ;he Mark Twain Centennial Commit :ee: O Lord our God, helps us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with Dur shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown Permanents— $3.50 to $8.00 SERVICE BEAUTY SHOP PHONE 417 PRESCRIPTIONS CayL e frijJlXl lf W Compounded a RANDOLPH DRUG CO.

Activities Of Interest Around Randolph CCC Encampment By PHILIP HATTON The trip to the State Fair at Ral eigh, long awaited by prize barracks 2 and 3, materialized Saturday when approximately one hundred boys, in three trucks, left here to spend the day at the Capitol city. Captain Brown’s car and the Forester's Chev rolet “pick-up,” carrying the boys’ lunches, were included in the motor cade preceded by a motorcycle! police escort. In camp things were a bit changed for those who remained. The K. P.’s had an easy job of serving the meals and the fellows, knowing that there was plenty of food, were able to eat more leisurely. To Barrack 1 and 4 fell the lot of cutting stove wood and washing windows in the quarters. Their worst fear, that of having to scrub the floors of all the barracks, Was not realized, however. A dance, held in thel Asheboro Ar mory Hall, was attended by several CC’s. The price of admission, as is the case at the majority of the amuse ment places in Asheboro, was greatly reduced for their benefit. With the arrival of the company athletic equipment Saturday, many of the boys were enabled to give vent to much of their excess energy. Foot ball, baseball, and boxing were en gaged in vigorously throughout the week end and several i boys were sore and stiff when they started for work Monday morning. About sixty-five boys are now the proud owners of neat lockers and have discarded their old wooden boxes in which they have kept their belongings since their arrival. These small trunks were ordered by the canteen, issued to those who desired them, and the cost Ramseur Is Busy During Week With Varied Activities (Continued from page 1) shrubs and flowers, and directions for setting bulbs were discussed.

The work in camp the past week has consisted of putting the finishing touches on the combination, tool-house and blacksmith-shop and the laying of rock in all the gutters or drainage ditches at the edges ofl the Company street. The purpose of the latter op eration, being to prevent much of the loose dirt being washed away during heavy rainfall. The recently installed scales in the new tool-house have been I used a lot by the fellows who are in terested in seeing how much weight they have gained while here. Three-fourths of the camp person nel continues to work in the field, cut ting fire wood and erecting barbed wire fences. Dinner is carried to one crew that is working eight miles west of Asheboro, saving time by making it unnecessary fofl them to return to camp at noon.
