The By naoipn A RANDOLPH COUNTY PAPER FOR RANDOLPH COUNTY PEOPLE. VOL. 7. NO. 3. ASHEBORO, N. C, THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1911. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR LJJLo THE PRESIDENT ISSUES STATEMENT. When he arrived at his sum mer home at Beverly, Mass. President Taf t gave out the fol lowing statement relative to the passage of the Canadian Recip rocity law: "That I am very much pleas ed with the passage of the Ca nadian reciprocity bill through both houses of Congress goes without saying. I believe and hope it will be followed by simi lar action by the Dominion Par liament. In my judgment, the going into effect of the agree ment will .mark a new epoch in the relations between the United States and Canada and it will tend to a marked increase in the trade between the two countries which will be in every way ben eficial to both. "I hope the credit that belongs to Secretary Knox and his spec ial assistants of the State De partment in the negotiating and framing of the pact and their lucid explanation and defence, of its terms, will not be withheld. "In a sense, the bill passed was a non-partisan measure, though the Republicans who vot ed for it, probably did so on one economic theory and the Demo crats who voted for it on another. "I should be wanting in straight-forward speaking, how ever, if I did not freely acknow ledge the credit that belongs to the Democratic majority in the House and the Democratic mi nority in the Senate for their w?fegtenLuppor t of the m eas ure, in an earnest arid sincere desire to secure its passage. Without this, reciprocity would have been impossible. It would not have been difficult for them to fasten upon the bill amend ments affecting the tariff gener ally in such a way as to embar rass the Executive and to make it doubtful whether he could sign the bill, and yet to claim popular approval for their sup- port of reciprocity in its' defeat. In other words, the Democrats did not ply polities' in the collo quial sense in which those words are used, but they followed the dictates of a higher policy. "We Republicans who have earnestly sought reciprocity and some of whose votes were neces sary to the passage of the bill may properly enjoy mutual felici tations on a work well done. To those who opposed the bill, on the ground that it will do harm to the farmers, we can only say that we who have supported the passage of the bill look forward to the test of the actual opera tion of the reciprocity agree ment to disprove their prophe cies and to allay their fears. The satisfaction that actual experi ence in its working will give, we confidently hope, will secure its permanence. In a decade its benefits will contribute much to a greater United States and a greater Canada." ATLANTIC COAST INVENTORS.

Mrs. Viola, Cox a Former Resident of Randolph Suddenly Passes Away In a Far-Off Western State. The following account of the death of Mrs. Viola Cox, once a resident of Randolph, was clip ped from a Kansas newspaper of recent date and will be of interest to many of the relatives of the deceased: A demise of unusual sadness, surprise and grief is that of Mrs. Viola Cox, wife of Mr. Mahlon Cox, at her home in East Endora after a brief illness of only three days. Dissolution occurred at 12 o'clock last Sunday. Mrs. Cox died of septic poison ing, due to child birth. Dr. Keith of Lawrence, was called to assist Dr. Schellack and Dr. Woodard, but all that medical skill and willing hands could do was of no avail. Short funeral service was con ducted from , the house at 10 o'clock, and from Friends church in Hesper Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock, and was attended by a very large concourse of mourn ers. The body was laid to rest in the cemetery near Hesper. She leaves a father and mother, 3 sisters, a busband, a step daughter and a large circle of friends to mourn her untimely taking away. Viola May Rush, daughter of James and Luzena Rush, was born near Asheboro, Randolph county, North Carolina, April 19, 1878. While still a child she moved vvifvh her parents to James town, Guilford county, North Carolina, where she grew to womanhood. While living there she became a member of Deep River Monthly Meeting of Friends, in which society she was a faithful and valued mem ber until the Lord called her home. While living at James tovvn she entered the Prepara tive . Department of Guilford College and spent three years of industrious pains-taking study in that institution, making a record that was a credit to her self and all who knew her.- . In the fore part of the year 1902, sho left the scenes of her childhood and came to Kansas to live for. a time with an uncle, William Davis, who resided near Hesper. There she remained for nearly four years, winning her way into the hearts and homes of vail she met. During this period she was a constant attender of the Hesper Meeting of Friends and took an active interest in all that concerned the church and its work. Almost constantly during this period she gave her services as a teacher in the Sunday School and a leader in the Christian Endeavor; and though her soul has now depart ed, yet her life still lingers in the lives of the living; and that sweet and gentle spirit, which so quietly moved among the daily scenes of the home and the com munity, will ever lend its uplift ing influences to generations vet unborn. In July, 1906, Viola returned to her home and loved ones in Carolina, remaining there until the following April, 1907, when the family moved to Hesper, Kansas. She was united in mar riage to Mahlon Cox of Eudora, Kansas. The marriage vows were taken at the home, and in the presence of Rev. John D. Mills at Kansas City on January 12, 1910; and the two hearts that were there united, had lived in perfect harmony until death sep arated them. REPORT OF GRAND JURY. To His Honor F. A.

July 19th, To fight the threatened outbreak of the Southern Pine Beetle, a bark boring insect which caused enormous damage to healthy liv ing timber in the Virginias in the early 90's and which has re cently been reported in different sections of the South, a Forest Insect Field Station has been es tablished here by the Bureau of Entomolgy of the United States Department of Agriculture. It is feared that unless meas ures are taken for the control of this insect it will cause the loss of millions of dollars worth of pine and the station has been established here for the purpose of securing first hand informa tion and for giving direct free instruction to timber owners on the most economical and effectual methods of controlling the beetle. The Bureau's experts have dis covered methods by which the beetle can be controlled in some cases by the profitable utiliza tion of the infected timber and in all cases at a moderate direct expense. Timber owners should communicate either with the Station here or the Bureau at I Washington. Recognizing the importance of concerted action and that the danger is common to the whole South, the Southern Railway is endeavoring to call the attention of timber owners throughout the South to the activity of the Bu reau in this matter, in the be lief that its interest is identical V ...7 a3.f.. 'with theirs. Some Wonderful Old People. Margaret E. Sangster, writing of youth and old age in the Au gust Woman's Home Companion says: "Oliver Wendell Holmes, who retained youth in its sparkling efflorescence to the very end; Ed ward Everett Hale, whose benig nant wisdom and humor never suffered the slightest diminution; Julia Ward Howe, as exquisite in age as she had been charming in youth; Rebecca Harding Davis, i strong, cultured and sincere through all the years till the last one came, are fine examples of the imperishable vitality of youth beneath the mask of age. There are plenty of people on the stage still, living and wonting and serving in the ranks, but they need no mention. As they look in the mirror, Time, peeping over their shoulders, gives them a glance of friendly greeting Time, the immortal, always young, always old, always going forward." Escaped WIfh His Life. "Twenty-one years ago I faced an awful death," writes, H. J3. Martin, Port Harrelson, S. C. "Doctors said I had con sumption and the dreadful cough I had looked like it, sure enough. I tried everything, I could hear of, for my cough, and was under the treatment of the best doctor in Georgetown, S. C. for a year, but could get no relief. A fiiend adv.sed me to try Dr. Kings New Discovery. 1 did so, and was completely cured. I feel that I owe mv life to this great :hr eau nd lung cure."

TO COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION The committee on Programme for the County Sunday School Convention to be held in Ashe boro, August 17th and 18th, have secured Rev. A. G. Dixon, of High Point, as one of the speakers. Mr Dixon attended the International Convention in San Francisco in June, and is, therefore, particularly well fitted for service, not only in this con vention, but in his work for the cause in the State Association and his own denomination. The committee is unusually fortunate in securing his services. The Executive Committee of the Association again urge the necessity of appointing delegates from the several schools at once, and sending their names to Miss Berta Ellison, the County Secre tary, whose address is Frank linville. Superintendents and township county officers who ex pect to attend should also send their names to her in order that homes may be provided for them. It is urged that the pledges made last year by the several townships be collected and sent to Miss Ellison at once, that the report of the Treasurer may be completed by the meeting of the Convention.
