- Pare Four ; T1IE ASHEBORO COURIER, X SHEE oron.c. 'Thursday, Zlzy i:, 1. . h - k 1' THE COURIER PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY W1L C. HAMMER, Editor. Entered m second class mail matter a the postoffice at Asheboro, N. C Asheboro, N. O, May 16, 1918 There are loafers in every commu nity who should be put to work. Let them understand they must go to work or go to jail and there idleness will be at end. There is a law which says that no decaying food or trash of any kind shall be put into the streets within the corporate limits of the town. The town is undergoing a thorough clean ing and all of the streets will be put in good condition. Every citizen of the town should co-operate in keeping their premises clean. Randolph county's Red Cross ap portionment is $2,500. Mr. C. C. Cranford, chairman, has completed arrangements for the campaign which lasts from May 20th to 27th. The Red Cross, has asked for $100,000,00Q for its war work and this fund is to be raised in a week's time. The sug gested plan is that every citizen in the county contribute the sum equal; to one day's earnings. The work oi the Red Cross needs no explanation. Our American boys are "over there." Are we Randolph citizens willing to contribute toward t.eir needs ? If they are wounded they need nursing, if they are sick they need care, if they are weary thy need places to rest. The Red Cross supplies every thing our soldiers need. Let each citizen of the county man, woman and child respond to the request to contribute to Red Cross fund. in the Blinds of our people, yet It ia of the gravest importance that the affairs oi our county and State as well as national affairs be administered by the Democratic party. This newspaper has not discussed or given space te politics for several months but it will contribuate what we can to a matter of such vast im portance to our people as having our local affairs properly looked after. Every good American should take sufficient interest in selecting men for office as to secure the best men for nominees for the various offices. In the last issue of The Courier was published a synopsis of the primary election law. It will be noted that if only one candidate files application for the nomination for any office, there will be no vote in the primary as to a nominee for that office. Good men should make sacrifices to run in times like these for their ser vices are needed. Mark the prediction that if the Dem ocrats nominate a strong ticket this year, that they will win by a decided majority. Prat. TX M. Weatfceri Candidate Tor leant j Treasurer We" desire to caQ the attention of all those who will vote la the Demo cratic urimarv to the candidarv of Professor D. M. Weatberly for the of fice of county treasurer. ProL.Weath erly has lived and worked among: us for a number of years in the public schools, the continuation of which he has further declined. We know him and can conscientiously recommend him for election to this office. In thus mentioning Prof. Weather ly's name we are hereby pledging our selves to ms support. HUGH PARKS, . . v J. T.
