THE BULLETIN AND RANDLEMAN NEWS PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY -BY BULLETIN PUBLISHING CO. J. E. MENDENHALL, Editor and Manager PRICE ONE DOLLAR A YEAR The Bulletin and The Randleman News CQnsolidated September 12, 1912 Advertising rates made known upon application. ' Entered at the Post Office at Ashboro N. C. as second-class matter. Asheboro, N. C., May 6, 1914 Soon be time for "Miscellaneous'? some more How about another raise on the taxes? The Ashboro graded school has closed another term. Many gills and boys have gone out from the school, probably not to go, back again, and worthy of special mention is the graduating class of sixteen members, which is one of as large a classes as the school has ever turned out, and who plainly emphasized the good training they have received at the hands of the faculty in the program which was rendered Monday evening. The faculty deserves much praise from the Ashboro people, for this term of the school- has been one of the most successful in its history. Captain John Marion Cross, the oldest printer in North Caro lina, made voluntary application for admission to the Randolph County Home before the County Commissioners in session here Monday and the petition was granted. For the past few years Captain Cross has been in de clining health and for the past few months has failed fast. He has people who would be glad to take care of him, but rather than be a burden the good old Cap tain hs chosen the care of the county. Captain Cross is a prin ter of the old school and has worked on most of the larger papers in the state, and there are but few shops that donot know of him. POLITICS. Politics in the county is be ginning to stir. On all sides men are discussing the situation, but especially warm at this time is the Congressional primary, which is to be pulled off May 16, in which Robert N. Page, the present incumbent is opposed by R. F. Beasley, of Monroe. These candidates are carrying on a warm campaign over the district, and indications are that Mr. Page will be given a good run for his job, which he has held for many terms. Mr. Beas ley failed to put up the $250 re quired to enter the primary by the executive committee, which met in Asheboro last month, but says ne is m,tne running never theless. Mr. Beasley, who is incidentally editor of the Caro lina Democrat, at Monroe-and associate editor of the State Journal, at Raleigh, is, of course a poor man, and he alleges that the fee of $250 is not in accord- ance witn tne plan 01 organiza tion, and that the meeting held in Asheboro was not fairly repre sentative of the district, and while the- friends of Mr. Page contend that Mr. Beasley is out of the running he says that he will be there "when the roll is called." The strength of the two candidates in this county is abouc equal. MOTHER'S DAY. "In childhood's hour I lingered near The hallowed seat with listening ear; And gentle words that mother would give To fit me to die and teach me to live. She told me that shame would never betide With truth for my creed and God for my guide; She taught me to lisp my earliest prayer, As I knelt beside the old arm chair." A beautiful custom is to set aside the second Sunday in May as Mothers' Day. It is a day of precious memories. In the church service, on the train at home, walking the streets there will be many a heart that wilfgo back on this day to the old home. The apple orchards, the old oaken bucket, the spring at the foot of the hill, the trundlebed, the moth ers arm chair, the happy family circle- now broken- all these will come trooping up in mem ory. We are better for these thoughts. The unbidden tear in the eye is often a benediction. It is one of the pleasures of life to go back in memory to the old home. The art of living is to car ry the purity and tenderness of childhood into the harder years of life. "Backward, turn backward 0 Time in your flight, Make me a child again just for tonight Mother, come back from the echoless shore, Take me againto your heart as of yore Kiss my forehead the furrows of care Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair; Over my slumbers your loving watch keep, Back to sleep, mother, rock me to sieep." Will jthe County Commissioners publish: a complete list of the comity's indebtedness or will they Shuffle the whole thing, which I is enormous, into one grand MISCELLANEOUS ? Perhaps that increase of 7c in the tax was for miscellaneous? ,i " ' ' THE CHAUTAUQUA. The last week in June is to be a gala) week for Asheboro and we hope for a good portion of Randolph county. That is Chau tauqua" week in Asheboro, and while We are not in the habit of boosting the average "paid for show" Jwe are going to boost the Chautafuqua, for it is one of the finest attractions that ever came to Ashpboro-ror Randolph coun ty. Meanwhile the County Super intendent of Schools, Fletcher Rnlla has arranced to hold the iFeache,s Institute the same week and this should bring a gooa crowd Of people from out of town the holding of the institute on this week was a good idea, since if will enable many teach ers to lee the work of the Chau tauquaj and should be of much material good to them. The f real argument for the f!hftiitn!uaua is its intrinsic merit and the resident of AsheTxro who fails td take in every one of .the attractions, is cheating himself. s 1 HEALTH CAMPAIGN NEAR f ING FINISH. The campaign for the im provement of health and sanita tion in! this county closes this week. The campaign has been disease but where ever lectures were given at dispensary points, school, etc., other subjects re garding health and sanitary conditions in the community were given much emphasis. The work therefore has had much of a educational nature, and in a few years those who failed to take advantage of this oppor tunity, fwill see what they have missed,! for: it takes several years of education along any new line before all the people will learn that it is not a fake and is done -for their good. The word "free" Attached to any ad vertisement always makes peo ple suspicious. Many things have hindered the work. The schools were either just. closing or had clos ed sq that it was hard to reach the school children who are most infected. Then again weather conditions have been unfavor able so that either it was too bad to drivel to the dispensary or too good to leave work at home. Neither; of these offer and ex cuse for those who live at a dis pensary point and at several places indifference and even an tagonism were so marked that little criuld be accomplished. Many have been examined, however and treated and will show marked improvement in health n a short time for the quickest results are shown aft er treatment of a hookworm subject tthan of any other mal ady. A! careful sanitary survey of houses along roads to dispen sary points has been made. It has shqwn j that in 159 white houses Examined 83 have priv ies, marty of them in very poor condition and 76 have no privy; and m 65 colored homes, 10 have privies and 55 have no privy. These facts 'ought to make the most indifferent in favor of the enactment and enforcement of a rigid law demanding the erec tion of & sanitary privy in each home, school, church and though the infection is light in your county, why not prevent all in fection preventable. These mat ters require thought and then action and it is hoped that the thinking people of Randolph county will get busy on this matter. fThe results of last week are as follows: Trinity-i No. examined 6; infected none. : Libertyf-No. examined, g8; infected 6; per ceit. 14.6.

Feeling t.hnr nnnlo CP vuv v c, in ers and Southwestern Randolph have not had a fair chance to take advantage of the free ex amination and treatment for hookworm disease, those in charge have decided to hold a dispensary at Bombay on Sat urday, May 9th, from 10 a. m. to 2:30 p. m.. Specimen boxes will be sent to various points in the vicinity and it is hoped that all will come and be examined this day and dat COMMISSIONERS MEET. County Board Session Here MoAday. The Board ofbounty Commis sioners for Randolph county in session in the court house Monday, and the following is the minutes of the meeting. Mr. H. R.

ANOTHER BOTTLE IS FOUND IN TltE WALL Many Interesting Things Found in Walls of the Old Court - x House. Among the interesting things found in the walls of the old court house are an Jld New York World, printed Oct. 25, 1876. The World jsold for $1.00 per year weekly, $2.00 semi weekly. It was set by hand entirely. It is an eight page paper. On the front page is ah account of the Fam ine in India, -The War between Rus sia and Turkey, Serious Railroad Strike, in which all of the trains of the Jersey Central stopped. The leading editorial is a comment on Governor Tilden's fetter. The letter is published-on the front page. The paper is in bad condition, tears in handling. Another article is a copy of the Randolph Regulator of Sept. 13, 1876, edited by S. Robins. The Regulator was an unflinching advo cate of Democratic principles and bitterly opposed the Republican ad ministration in the nation and in the county. The advertising rates were $1.00 per inch each insertion. The subscription price of the paper was $2.00 a year. The entire democratic ticket for the county, state and na tion was published in the editorial column. Samuel J. Tilden was the candidate for president; Zebulon B. Vance, for Governor. The county ticket was viz: Senate W. S. Robins; House of Representatives, Dr.. T. S. Winslow and Michael Fox; sheriff, iO. R. Cox; treasurer. Benjamin Moffitt; register of deeds, R. W. Frazier; coroner, J. W. Trodgen; surveyor, W. C. Hammer; commissioners, A. S. Horney, W. M. Wilson, Jonathan Lassiter, A. L. Yow, Win. Branson. There is an advertisement of Trinity College, with Baxter Craven as president. There are two bottles, one with seed corn, the other with seed wheat; both are in a good state of preservation. A two cent peice was found buried in the motor, one side is bright, the other- tarnished. Another copy of the Constitution of the Ran dolph County Agricultural Society, which was adopted Nov. 10, 1874. Mr. A. S. Horney was president of the So ciety. Fairs were held annually un der the auspices of this organization, in the ground now occupied by the graded school building. The lot was enclosed with a tall plank fenec; all kinds of vegetables, fowls, cattle, horses, canned goods, etc., were ex hibited; under one head we find, "Preserves, jellies, canned goods, cat sups, wines, etc.," Among the names of persons on the "Discretionary Committee" are Mesdames O. W. Carr, Lucy Makepiece, J. B. Randle man, A. C. Bulla, Rufus Frazier and others. The above is taken from an adver tisement of the fair which was held Oct. 26-28. A copy of the constitu tion and by-laws ' of the Asheboro Sons of Temperance was also found-. An envelope with a three cent stamp addressed to Bureau of Education, Department of the Interior, Wash ington, D. C. Different letters have been found written by Col. Moore who wrote the one in the last issue. The letters are similar but we print items which were not in the others. Col. Moore took great interest in the building of the Court House and the contractors, Messrs. Watson and Ce cil said he would come around every day or so with something to deposit in the walls. His thought in this has given much interesting history to our county. We copy from his letters: Asheboro in 1876. An Agricultural Fair is annually held at this town, Asheboro, this Fair Association was organized the 10th of Nov. 1874. It held its first annual fair Thursday and Friday, 21st and 22nd, Oct. 1875.

COUNTY S. S. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETS All Township Conventions Will Be Held Before Month of August. The Central Executive Com mittee of the Randolph County Sunday School Association met in the Court House in Asheboro Monday to consider plans for carrying on the work of the As sociation. Prof. D. M. Weatherly, of Franklinville, was elected sup erintendent of the adult class de partment to succeed Rev. J. A. McMillan, who recently left the county. A committee was Appointed to get the various Township con ventions. This program will be forwarded to the officers in each township within the next ten days or two weeks. The idea in doing this is to get all of the Township conventions to include in their program discus sions of some of the most im portant questions pertaining to the. Sunday School movement just at this time. This commit tee was also asked to prepare a program for the county con vention to be submitted to the next meeting of the Executive committee. The date and place for holding the next county con vention was left with the pro gram committee for handling between now and the time for the next meeting of the Execu tive committee, which will be called sometime before the coun ty convention meets. Anyone desiring to communicate . with this committee as to the place for holding the next County con vention will pljease write Mr. F. M. Wright, Moffitt, N. C. Several members of the corn committee spoke in favor of aiding the colored race in effect ing a Sunday School organiza tion in this county. Every effort-is going to be put forth to make the next county convention one of the best in the history of the Association. A strong program will be prepar ed and some new features will be introduced, which will, no doubt,-add much to the interest and pleasure of those attending. Township conventions have been reported for the following places : Randleman Township Fifth Sunday in May. Brower Township First Sun day in June. Tabernacle Towrnship Sec one Sunday in July. Coleridge Township Second Sunday in July. New Market Township First Sunday in August. All townships are expected to hold conventions before August 1st. Will Allow Beasley to Run. The executive committee of the Seventh Congressional Dis trict met Monday night at Ham let and decided to allow R. F. Beasley to oppose R. N. Page in the primaries on the 16th of May, without putting up the $250 as required by the Ashboro meeting. The Mexican Flag. It is tri-color, exactly like the Italian flag, consisting of three broad bars pale green, white and red, running vertically. Proba bly that of Switzerland, which dates from 1339 is the oldest flag. The Turkish crescent moon and star was the device adopted by Mohammed H, when he cap tured Constantinople in 1453, and most of the European nati onal flags are of much later date. Vuncannon-Vuncannon. On the 29th of April, at the home of tjie officiating minister, Rev. J. S. Tillman, Miss Lillie Vuncannon, daughter of Mr. Ty son Vuncannon, of Seagrove, Rt. 2, became the bride of Mr. Ross Vuncannon, of Ellerbe. Mr. Vuncannon is the second son of Mr. J. M. Vuncannon, of this county and is now in business at Ellerbe, where they will make their home. Convicts Try to Escape. The timely discovery of a plot laid by the. convicts, now work ing on the old court house, who are housed in the jail, probably saved a big jail delivery. Jailor Steed with some of the guards went up to "feed" the convicts on last Sunday morning and discovered that the hinges of one of the cell doors had almost been cut out of the timbers, and only a few more hours work would have completed the job. Death of Childy William Woodrow, the 15-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. D.-A. Covington, of Ramseur, died early Monday morning at the home of its parents.

' Men who play the wily game of; po litics have discovered that the best way to distract the attention of the public from their own shortcomings is to make a loud-mouthed sen'sca tional attack upon someone else, j As the cuttle-fish eludes its nursueri In- clouding the surrounding water jirith tne contents oi its ink sac. so the poli tical adventurere takes advantage of the ignorance and Dreiudices of: the people to escape from his indefensi ble positionby muddying the waters of public opinion. A case in point is the recent attack made upon the religious press for dai rying Coca-Cola advertising. This attack was made by a politician itvho was supposed to be an expert in chem istry, but who having brought a feuit ; against the Coca-Cola Company, jvas nummatea oy navmg to acknovleil:e that he could not qualify as an "ex pert. The court decided in favofsof the Coca-Cola Company as it m$ clearly shown that the only essential difference between Coca-Cola and Cof fee or tea is that the former contains only about half as much" caffeine' as the latter and that the flavor is diff erent. The question as to whether it- is right to advertise Coca-Cola seeing to resolve itself therefore into jhe question as to whether it is right?-to advertise coffee, tea, chocolate, cof-oa and other beverages of the caffejine group.
