Mrs Cvrus Allred, -by error of the
equalization board, were disposed of
at this meeting.
It was ordered by the board <hdt

ment for five acres of land listed in
the name of J. C. Kearns, colored, and
sold under that name for non-payment

Prominent Jurist Will Speak At
Baptist Church At 11:00
O’clock Service
Baptist Church Is
Yet Without Minister
Well Known Preachers And Lay
men Have Spoken Since
Former Pastor’s Departure
The Asheboro Baptist church will
bring a speaker of wide interest to
Asheboro on Sunday morning, Novem
ber 10th when Judge Johnson J. Hayes
appears in the pulpit of that church.
For several weeks, the supply com
mittee from this church has endeav
ored to secure Judge Hayes for a ser
vice in the absence of a regular pas
tor for the church.
Judge Hayes, for many years hold
ing a position on the bench of the
federal courts of North Carolina, is
well known for his stand for prohibi
tion and temperance. Whether or not
this will be his topic for Sunday, the
Judge has not announced, but suffice
it to say that he will be the speak
er at this 11:00 a. m. service in the
Baptist church. Many people in this
county who heard his talks during the
fight for prohibition in the state, will
embrace the opportunity to hear the
Judge on this occasion.
From time to time, since Dr. Stev
ens left for his new pastorate, the
Baptist church has been filling the
pulpit with interesting speakers and
ministers of note. Last Sunday, at
both the morning and evening ser
vices, Rev. N. M. Harrison of High
Point college, was the guest minister.
The Sunday before, Judge Wayland
Cooke, of Greensboro, was the speaker
at the morning service and made a
broadly interesting talk. Prior to that
time, Rev. Mr. Harrison had preach
ed for this congregation and is con
sidered a general favorite with the
local group.
Dr. Herman Stevens pastor the
Asheboro Baptist church, resigned
around two months ago and accepted
the pastorate of Orcutt Avenue Bap
tist church in Newport News, Va.,.
where he and his family have recent
ly gone. This! leaves the pulpit of the
be equipped and acceptable wk serve
the local church. No announcement
from the committee comes at present
concerning filling the pulpit, but they
issue an invitation to the people of
Asheboro to hear Judge Hayes on
Sunday morning.
County Farm Debt
Adjustment Group
In Beneficial Meet
The Randolph County Farm Debt
Adjustment Committee met Friday at
the local rehabilitation office in Ashe*
boro, with B. M. Brower, chairman,
presiding. All members were present
except Bruce Craven, of Trinity. D,
W. McPherson, district representative,

this district, which is composed of
Guilford and Randolph counties. Mr,
Little, Federal Loan Bank contact man
was also present.
In addition to the thirty three ad
justments reported, at the last meet
ing, which meant a savings of more
than five thousand dollars to Randolph
farmers, other cases were considered,
and it is the hope and belief of the
committee that further, and efficient
service can be rendered the farmers
of this section. Miss Bullard finds
that many of those who have had as
sistance, have taken advantage of the
opportunities and have raised and
conserved much food. She further re
ports evidences of good citizenship,
which is on the up grade in her dis
trict and predicts progress in the Fed

gram. In this both Mr. McPhersou
and Mr. Anderson concur.
