C, NOV. 23, 1911 No. 47 THE cm i n il MAY MEAN MUCH TO ASHEBORO Merger of A. & A., D. & C. and Raleigh & Southport With the Norfolk & Southern Railway The Cause of Much Speculation The Norfolk and Southern Rail, way last week Required by purchase the Raleigh and Southport, the Dur ham and Charlotte and the Aberdeen and Asheboro Railways.. By the purchase of these roads the Norfolk and Southern has chance for a through line from Raleigh to Win-Bton-Ralem. With its present! hold ings and options on the charter of the proposed Raleigh and CharloUe road, the Norfold and Southern has the cream of the new railway situa tion of the state and in sure to ex. pand. The question In Randolph is what will Aaaeburo get ouc cf it.- Mvay of those discussing it, and among them some of tbe stockholders in the proposed R. & 0., seem to think that a line will be pnt through to Charlotte by the propuded R. & 0. route. Others think that the first extension of the new Norfolk and Southern will be from Asheboro to Winston-Salem, connecting with . th2 Norfolk and Western, which is thought to be in on the tle.l; but this, although it would perhaps be the best thing that could be done for thisjatction, is merely couj'Cture. It id certain, however, that the merger of these roa 's means a gitat deal to this section of. the stite, if not at once, certainly within the next decade, as any corporation would be able to see he opportunity given them in these circumstance?. IN SPLENDID CONDITION Aibury School in New Quarters and Healthy Condition as the Result of Special Tax Aabury, Not. 21. Realizing the great need of better school advan tages in ABbury district, some of the cituensa few months ago' set out to vote a special tax and to build a new sohoolhouse.

The first gathering in the new school building was a box partj last Saturday night for the benefit of the school, whicn was attended by a large and orderly crowd, enjoyed by all present and netted $30 for the fund. This - will be UBed to pur chase a blackboard and bell. - So well did' the occasiou please those present that the entertainers were asked to give another soon. This will be done, for the people of this district are interested in the success cf their school and will do all in i. their power to make it tllicienf. School opened Monday with Miss . Pearl Auman as teacher, and there ' is every right to belLve that ' this year will be the inost succesaful'in tae history of the school wotn of this - community. District Masonic Meeting. .

Hutt in Prot resil te Ftrmaiv I want you to have this fair writ ten op for your paper because f all the county fairs I have attended in North Carolina, this is the best. There is a,bout it all a spirit of jollity, wholesomeness into wbioh cone is too grand nor too poor to join. The buildings and streets are decorated wuu nuge; me norBes necKs are adorned with gaudy collars, and groups or small boys stand grinning everywhere.

Tbe.r hetds were traction engines. Each section of their monstrous bodies was a wagon loaded higu with with j lyous school childiet; the tt.il cf one ilrugon wits a red-coattd band and the old tiddlers completed the other. .They were dragons of ex citement and noise and hilarity. The heads shrieked as loud as their steam whistles would let them, shouts came from tbe throats of the four thousand school children and the red coats and old fiddlers piped Jheir merry lays.,' The marshals on great black steeds , dashed up and down the lint; the red spokes in the new wagons gleamed in the sua and over it all the bJloon man was up seeing what the clouds thought about it. There were very few clouds, so their opinions could not have been worth much. The first night in the fine new courthor.se the old-time fiddlers held forth and so great was the crowd that hundreds could not get inside the doors. The second night I, who came to take Mrs. F. L. Se ven's place as well aa I could, talked ou "Woman." The old fiddleia and the band made things joyous. Again the hall was full. Tomorrow night there will be an old time party. I will not be here to tell you about it, but I know it will be the - merriest time of them all. ' At the fair grounds the exhibits are amazing. So great is the poultry show that it took Mr. Jtffiey two days to judge it. - So fine is the agri cultural division that the judges, Mr. Millsaps, Mr. Hudson and Mr. Schwab, worked three days. The exhibit of mules was worthy of any show. The woman's exhibit was far j better thao even that of x the state Faii; for instance, there were about seventy homemade, hand-woven quilts in competition. The pantry supply filled one with b uprise that there could be so much canned goods in all the world. And the baby show. I wish Roosevelt could have been here to see what Randolph County could do fat babies, thin babies, eute babies, solemn babies but all ador able. There was a little triplet baby th.t competed. Master Thomas Stanley Redding, of Asheboro, red. cheeked, blue-eyed, won the baby buggy prize. On the grounds there was not one fakir no hoodlums thrust objec tionable things in the faces of the passers by, nor hit the little children with ; stinging i balls. Everything was clean, plly, dignified. In ail this Mr. George Ross, a last year's A. & M. graduate, is the leader. Would that all the counties in the State had A. & M. boys to lead them if such a healthy, wholesome spirit as exhibited by Randolph County is the result. . - English suffragists continue buay in putting their questions and re quests for the ballot up to parlia ment. ... ...

FEASIBILITY OF ACCURATE SHOOTING , 1 FROM AEROPLANE DEMONSTRATED . BY UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. Flying at Mile-a-Minute Clip, Lieut Fickel Throws Two Successive Shots Straight Into Target Bridgeport, Conn., was recently the - Scene of a most remarkable aeroplane achievement. Not only did it thrill the vast army of spectators because of the reckless daring displayed by the bird men, but it proved beyond all question that, with tbe right make of rifle, a marksman can shoot while flying at tremendous speed, with the same ac curacy aa-when on the ground. Army officers have been anything but satisfied with the results obtained with the service rifle, and the flight was planned as a test of a repeating arm of other than government make. The flight took place at tbe Lake Aerodrome before 10,000 people who paid admission and a far greater num ber who occupied points of vantage upon neighboring' hilltops, housetops and trees. When Beachy came upon the Held, a violent wind was blowing. Undeterred, he mounted his seat and was soon soaring high above. More than once it seemed to the spectators that his frail craft must surely turn turtle and come crashing to the earth, but every time thetreacherouswindthreathened.clever manipulation by the aviator held the machine straight and true. Afterhaving . been in the air a number of minutes, Beachy pointed his craft in the direction of the grandstand, encircled it twice and, as gracefully as a bird alights, brought it safely to the ground. . To every one present it seemed cer tain, in view of the dangerous antics of the wind, that n more flights would 'Millers Daughter" to be Staged at Ratnseur The studenfs of Kamseur Uigb School wi'l -e-wr" t i t ! tr, " Tae Miller's Daogiter'', next Sarnrdy rnglu, Nov:Hib"i 25'i f r the bs-i'e tit of the re - i. tf r.i'i'H' of tr"80n mI.
