RESIDENCE OF CAPT. A. E.
Asheboro Boy Writes Interestingly of
Army Mfe at Charleston
Mr. Editor:
I promised that I would write a
letter on army life before I left, but
I have neglected it until now.
What we are doing would hardly
be called regular army life to what
some of them do. We don't drill any,
have no arms except "gats" (Calt's
automatic) stay out as lateas eleven
o'clock, get up at six-thirty, and have
pleny to eat. We get meats of some
kind every day, chicken at least once
a week and sometimes twice a week
and army beans are unknown in Co.
G barracks. We have coffee, sugar and
butter every day. I have gained near
ly twenty-five pounds since I have
been in Charleston, so you can see that
we get plenty to eat and .better than
the average soldier gets.
Charleson is an old historic town,
in fact that's all that it lives on, its
reputation. All the fellows would be
glad o leave if they would only get
away, but our next, place will be "some
where in France."
Charleston is supposed to have a
population of about eighty thousand
now and over half of them are ne
groes. Can you imagine a town with
that many negroes in it? but along
with its bad faults it has good ones,
the people believe in the good old
southern hospitality and they treat us
just fine, .r We. couldn't ask to be put
among better class of people than
the people here in Charleston; they,
treat us well and we "can't say-, too
much, fgr-fhamv i '
Our ; company lias been fjjvided up
into sections now, namely; Outpost
section, wire section, telegraph section,
radio section, and telephone section.
I will be put either in the radio or
telegraph section and be sent to school
a while longer r.nd therrbut, I will wart,
until then and see what I will do.
One can ever tell where they will land.
We haven't done anything but go
to school since we havebeen in Charlc?

i The Asheboro' Courier was first es
tablished; as the Randolph Regulator,
January' "1876, with the late M. S.
Robins aA editor, the paper being or
ganized by subscriptions from evory
part of the county. Mr. Robins edited
the paper-"for some time. The late T.
C Worthy a part of the time was
associated with Mr. Robins as business
manager end local editor.
' Mrt James T. Crocker afterwards be
came, editor of :ttie paper and edneu
it for a &W years. About 1S80 G. S.
Bradshawj And E. C. Hackney, two
young lawyers who had recently locat
ed fit Asheboro, purchased all interests
of those who owned the Regulator, and
conducted jth$ paper for a time, chang
ing the name to The Asheboro Courier.
Finally Hackney moved to Dur
ham and -established the Durham Re
corder, Mr. Bradshaw retaining his in
terest in The Courier, and writing for
the paper much, of the time for several
years and editing it wholly or in part
much of the time for several years.
The lat$ EAV Moffitt had an inter
est hi the rpaer for two or three years
or more, -v
Jack- Hamlet for many years
beginning: with the first organization
of the paper was foreman. Wiley
Steed, son of the late Stanly Steed.now
living at; Maxton was also connected
.with the. mechanical department. His
brother JN( at steed, who has been an
employe of ..the -Bureau of Engraving
at. Washington for more than thirty
years, Nivas-for many "years connected
with the paper. .L. D. Bulla also was
connected; With the paper in the me
chanical department and in other ca
pacities for several years off and on,
acting a .part of the time as general
utility, man in different capacities in
the operation of the paper.
M.- Bradshaw assumed the editor
ship in about 1883 and edited the paper
for several yelirs. '
Jerome Lowe a son of Rev. A. M.
Lowe! wh$ was elected a delegate from
Randolphs to the Constitutional Con
vention I 1875,. became the editor for
a year orjmore."., He was studying law
at the tinfl under Mr. Robins.
Mr. 'wker associated with him the
late WijPJS Rush leasing the paper for
a'seconA time. After that George W.
Ueased th outfit .for some two years
or more (riving 'ut their ' lease in Au
gijst 1893;when the rateWTiley 'Rush
and tlie.iresent editor purchased' the
plaat'Jte r3rovl,will -with a -subscript1
tion. .lStI SnwneS. rf -w i
In less than'" year C, C. McAliser
acquired the interest of Mr. Rush, and
for several years retained his interest.
He finally sdld his interest to Mr. Ham
mer, since which time the newspaper
and job plant continuously until the
present has been operated by the same
management and every effort has bci-n
made to publish a newspaper to serve
the public fairly and as a dispenser f
the news, always endeavoring to print
all the local news fit to print and as
much of State and general news as id
of interest to the readers, and has en
deavored to educate and elevate by
publishing educational, historical and
literary articles as well as the news.
The Courier has at all times vigor
ously espoused the cause of education
for all the people and has likewise en
thusiastically supported the cause of
good roads, and its slogan for more
than a quarter of a century has been
"good schools and better roads."
Soon after The Courier was ac
quired by the present owner the Ran
dleman Herald was purchased and the
two were . consolidated.
The plant consisted of a Washing
ton hand acorn press, r.nd several fonts
of news and job type.
The plant now consists of an up-to-date
Intertype, setting both straight
news matter, ads and jobs, a double
feed J?abcock Dispatch press, the lat
est Eclipse folder, two jobbers, mail
ers, melting pots, all the machinery
driven by electric motors. The job
department is equipped with the lat
est type faces and reachinery to turn
out up-to-date job work.
The paper was then four pages six
column patent outside, only two pages
printed at home. Now it is eight pages,
all home print. The paper has not
been a dividend paying investment but
it has been the chief pride and con
cern or its owner and those who are
nearest to him and there is a conscious
ness of. having done some service in
helping others.
The people of Randolph and the
Piedmont section have been kind to
The Courier and its editor, and much
is duo them for the measure of suc
cess, small as it may be, to their en
couragement, especially is much due
to Mr. G, S, Bradshaw in the early
years of the present management in
substantial assistance in the struggle
for life and to the faithful assistant--.
of thoso iri tho business 'and mechanical
departments who hevo been faithful
and loyal.- During .he first nine years
under the present management Henry
D. Caudle, who has long since gone to
his reward, was in charge of tho me
chanical and job departments, and
attention in
as strug-
nevcr lost an
oportunity to work for tho advance
ment of .the paper r,nd to increase its.
innucnee -.and usefulness. Wherever
he went h was soliciting subscriptions
and job work: and doing all he could
to advance the interests of the business
as much as if he owned and operated
the entire plant - - .
ihe Courier .has been most fortunaU
in having in its emclov others who
have been most loyal-and devoted to
the interests of the paper. , -,

Raleigh, January 15 Raleigh has
jailed another gorilla negro for bur
glary and rape committed Saturday
a.oinmg v.hile the storm was at its

thi httle town of Garner.
Another negro, Neville, who was

ut'3o the activity of his lawyeyr,
W B. Jones, who appealed the case
to tho Supreme Court, while the other
lawyer who defended him said there
was no ground on which an appeal
ought to be based and he, J. C. Little,
wit;iew from the case when his as
sociate, 'Buck" Jones insisted on tak
ing the case to the higher court. At
the expense of a thousand dollars al

people are very much disgusted and ex-ct-t:.,
ngly indignant.
Six or seven cases of assaults on
white women recently here and not
an execution yet and only two of the
negroes arrested even.
Another disgusting feature of the
crime just committed is the alleged
cowardly conduct of the husband: if
the reports given out by the officers
who made the arrest are correct The
negro shot at the husband who was in
bed with his wife, but only slightly
wounded him. The man then covered
UP his head with tVio UA wi.:
ordered by the negro, and left his wife
to her fate
Ihe negro, named LeRoy Smith,
had been to New York for several
years and says he was back on a visit
to his parents who live only a stone's
throw from the scene of the crime.
