THE COURIER aW PRINCIPLES, NOtMsN MM 'fJ,mfi&f Tm vat - ISSUED WEEKLY $2.00 A TEAR IN ADVANCE I VOLUME XLYHI Asheboro, North Cmliu, Thursday, a, ita NUMBER SS OS MR. VARNER SELLS DISPATCH DR. JOYNER PARTIES G AT TEACHERS FOR STATE AND GENERAL NEWS AT ASHEBORO WATCH COOLIDGE LEY STAND CITY SCHOOL OTH Henry B. Varner who bought the Davidson Dispatch twenty-aeven Ztm ago has sold the MW to Ernest". F. CM, of CeJumbus, Ohio, wno wui imuh "y the publication. Mr. Varner con verted the Dispatch into a semi-wek-u a few years ago. Fred 0. Sink is business manager of the paper end wfll retire rfter 84 years o service with the Dispatch. Mr. Sink will continue his Job printing business. B. Witherspoon who has been with Mr. Varner as associate editor will become editor, while Mr. Crewe will be the business manager. Mr. Crewe is well educated, being a graduate of many of the best col leges in vne country ana is a worm War veteran. He is married and has one child. It is understood that Mr. Varner got in the neighborhood of 150,000. for the newspaper plant he owned, which is probably one of the most valuable weekly newspaper or semi weekly newspaper plants in the state. Mr. Varner was wonueriuiiy success ful in the newspaper game. But for the last few years he has been- much interested in the moving picture shows, having an interest inpicture shows at Lexington, Badin, Thomas ville, High Point and other places. It is to be regretted that Mr. Var ner has gone out of the newspaper business but it is gratifying to know that Mr. Witherspoon is to remain connected with the paper and that Mr. Crewe, the owner, comes so well reoommended from another state. Dr. J. Y. Joyner, who was for sev eral years State Superintendent of public instruction and is one of the ablest and most progressive officers this state has ever had, has enlisted in the cause of co-operative market ing for the benefit of the farmers. On last Thursday he spone to me farmers of Randolph in the court house, on the principals of co-opera tive marketing, lie snowed me uiier folly of the farmers continuing to haul their cotton and tobacco to mar ket without having one word to say about what price they shall get. The speech was made oy nr. j. i. Joyner on Thursday afternoon of last week. The crowd was not large but the interest of every one was fix ed from the time the speaker began to speak until he closed. Coopera tive marketing is the salvation of the tobacco grower and the cotton grower in this section. Someone has asked why it is that the corn and wheat farmer is not included in the coopera tive marketing. The reasons assign ed for this is that tobacco and cot ton growing is restricted to a limit ed section of the United States, while wheat and corn and other grains are grown throughout most of the Unit ed States and the territory is so large that it is difficult to have an organi zation of cooperative growers for these widely grown products. The Cooperative Marketing As sociation of the citrus fruits of Flori- FORMER RANDOLPH WOMAN DISS IN TENNESSEE (By David F. St Clair). Washington, August 22. The two, great changes that have come over toe face of politicians since the death of President Harding are now well defined. The Republican fact ions are making a frantic effort to unite around President Coolidge and the Democrats have assumed an at titude of watchful waiting. Senator Borah has charted a course mat it appears many of the progres sives are inclined to pursue. He tells the discontented farmers and stock men of the Northwest to "give Cool idge a chance." The people, he says no longer attach importance to the names of parties. They want results and they do not care who achieves the results. - Coolidge is a new man who has done nothing to divide the party and may be the very man to unite it if that be pos sible. Borah's statement followed that of Senator Moses of New Hamp shire who was threatening to come out for Hiram Johnson before the death of Harding but lost no time in switching over to Coolidge. The attitude of Borah and others has had a marked effect on the course of Hiram Johnson. On the death of Harding Johnson is said to have felt that his bonds of obligation not to be a candidate had been sun dered and he was free to cast his hat in the ring. But Johnson if a candi date, would have only one issue, his Protreeted services of twelve days The opening date at the Ashe bo ro duration to to a dose at John high school will be anounced later.

Mrs. Lena Pierce Sager died at her home in Burns, Tennessee, August 1, following an illness of some weeks. Although a resident of Tenessee by marriage she was a relative of North Carolina, havintr been born in Ran dolph county, May SO, 1898. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ruff in Pierce of Caraway, and was next youngest of their family of nine children. In 1916 she went to High Point to work, making her home with her eldest sister. November 17, 1922 sha was married to Mr. C. R. Saeer of Bums, Tenessee, and in December they went to make their home in that state. She was looking forward to a visit back to the old home in Ju ly, but sickness and the grim reaper came and the journey homeward was made in a casket, accompanied by the young husband over the road they had traveled as bride and groom less than a year ago. Her body was laid to rest in the family plot at Mt. Shepherd cemetery, August 4. Besides the husband and parents she is survived by the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. Edgar Hill and Mr. C. B. Pierce.of High Point; Mrs. Ernest Yates, of Fayette villc; Mr. C. A. Pierce and Mrs. S. C. Hunt, of Caraway; and also by a number of nieces, other relatives and hosts of friends. It is hard to understand why one so young and beloved should be tak i en at the dawning of her new found happiness, but God knows best and hi ever ready to comfort the heart that turn to Him. May His blessing rest upon the young husband bereft in the first year of their life together. the ageing parents and all who held her dear and mourn the untimely death of one so loved and young.

DEATH OF RANDLEM AN MAN John McDowell died at his home near Randleman last Friday night following an illness of a few hoars from a stroke of paralysis, age 69 yean. Peroral services were con ducted by Rev. 3. A. Bowies and Rev. Mr. MeKtoeon at Mt Lebanon M. F. church, of which be was a member, Sunday afternoon. The deceased is survived by his widow and six children. . Right at this season farmers are planning their crop of rotations for the coming year. What land will they put in grain this fall and to hold over for crops next spring. This is an important decision, and the next years crop will be measured by the wisdom of the decision. Any farmer who has on his farm second year clover to turn this win ter will have no where his corn will go next spring or where his wheat will go this tall. Corn crop will follow the. clover sod, and the wheat will follow the present corn crop. This will give him tile opportunity to-leased , hi fasM - clover in March, and thus go the round over again. The man who does not have this clover is the one I particularly wish to reach. If you do not have any clover on your farm to work into your crop rotation make a start this fall. Take a piece of land that you have broke for fall seeding, and work it down into a firm well pulverized seed bed, ready for seeding by the fifteenth or twentieth of September. Put a ton of ground limestone to the acre, and then seed it to oats and red clover. About ten pounds of clover per acre. There are a number of reasons for doing this. First, the clover crop is easily added without extra work. It is worth more to the land, and will pay more in dollars and cents than either wheat or corn, if sold as hay. But do not sell it as hay. Feed it to some good milk cows. Twenty to twenty-five dollars per ton will be all that you could nope to get for the hay, and yon will be selling about $1 1.50 worth of plant food per ton along with your hay. wny not let the cows have the hay? Sell butter fat which does not con tain any plant food and put the ma nure Dade on me land. Feed the skim milk to some pigs and along with it some corn and wheat. You cannot afford to sell the grain from your farms at the prices, so utilise it on the farm where it belongs. You can easily market your corn to hogs at two dollars per bushel and your wheat also. Then if this is true you know that you cannot afford to sell the grain for $1.00 per bushel. If you are doubtful about this, drop me a line, call me over the telephone, or call at the office and I think that I can convince you by showing yon what other farmers here in the coun ty nave done, and what I will co operate With you in doing. Now is the time to get started. Order your lime at once. Get your clover seed and make a start this fall. Plan to milk more cows this winter than ever before. Keep all thai yon can feed, end then pun to make inoee feed next year. Randolph hwW be tiie banner live-stock coun ty of the State. Lets make bar sa ataelmTaLr ? is of like mind so far as concerns the court, Borah's statement was an of fer to Coolidge to steer clear of the court so as to head off Johnson's can didacy and save Coolidge's bacon in the Northwest The rally to Cool idge has effectively silenced Johnson so far. Borah's statement has also had the effect of stilling the energies of Sen ator Broohart and Senators Ship- stead and Magnus Johnson. They have been made to hope for the mo ment at least that Coolidge will find some satisfactory solution of the wheat problem. The outstanding strategic political fact so far as Coolidge is concerned, is that he can keep silent on the two trouble deciding "Mr" ,8SueB' lne court ana wneat, "Z.t. 4ir till congress meets three months In the meantime his friends MARRIED , Miss Nancy Louise J Mew Hope Academy and (Davis of Eleaser, were m Johnson of Mr. Paul married Au gust 19th, at the home of James W.

COLLBGE hence can perfect an organization that will make his nomination almost as cer tain as was the nomination of Presi dent Harding had he lived and thatlthe ia vvjiai uiey are aoing. jcvery move of the Coolidge forces so far has tended to make certain his nomina tion. With his grasp on the organization and his nomination reasonably as sured, Mr. Coolidge's friends say, that with the meeting of congress he can test the direction of the wind and shape his course accordingly. They declare that he has told nobody what he will or will not do except to say he will follow out as best he can the policy of his predecessor. But that we are told means nothing for in all probability Harding could not have followed his own policy had he lived. He had already widely deviated from his original course on the world court in his St. Louis speech. While the Democrats are now waiting to see what is going to hap pen some of them who have looked upon the candidacy of Henry Ford with scorn have revised their opinion of the Detroit car builder. They ful ly realize that if Coolidge makes good, he will be hard to beat and they are beginning to wonder if Ford is about the only man who could beat him. They do not like to admit this even privately but some of them do blurt it out occasionally. But what keeps the Democrats still cheerful is their inability to see how Coolidge can ever master the difficulties ahead of him. Mr. Underwood has practic ally admitted that he has no solution. Mr. McAdoo's friends say he will of fer a solution when the time is ripe. Henry Ford is frank enough to any the people do not know what they want and until they do there is no solution. Mr. Coolidge has three months of grace in which if he chooses, he can on the big issues maintain a master ful silence. Some of his would be Republican rivals are wishing it oth erwise and Democrats too. eal background of widespread inter est. It is claimed upon good author ity that the great religious reformer and Apostle of Methodism conducted services en the spot at an early date in American history. Sparsely set tled as the entire country was at that time, tivt pioneer farmers, their wives and children, came from afar to listen 1 to the Gospel, which was preached as it had never before been preached in this section of the new world. This , was years before the coming- of the sainted. Asbury and before the war of the Revolution. At a much later pe-' riod we understand that a rough but comfortable log structure served as a meeting place for the devout of the neighborhood; but it long fell into ! decay frnd no veistage of its exis-1 tence is to be seen, nor are there any i reliable records bow available throw- ing light upon the spiritual status of the neighborhood until the year 1843, jet that time according to cer tain papers in the possession of Brother Burkhead, his father, the late L. D. Burkhead. was a class leader there. Rev. Peter Dumb, one of the giants of his day and who wrote a tract which lead to the con verson of the late Bishop Marvin, was Presiding Elder, and Rev. A. H. Lester pastor. S. D. Bumpass suc ceeded him on the district in 1848, and L. D. Hendren became pastor. We learn further that, in 1862. H. W. Bobbitt was Presiding Elder and the sainted C. H. Phillips, of blessed memory, pastor. The coming of the great Civil War had a disastrous effect on the religious life of the vi cinity, just as it had in every other part or the South, both city and country, hence we hear no more of Weslers Stand until the year 1903 It was then that Brother Burkhead preached there for the first time in his ministry. There was no house for religious worship, so a brush ar bor was made to serve until a more substantial wooden structure could be erected. This structure in the course f time, due to growth of membership and a largely increased Sunday .school, became inadeauateto made UDOn it. and to day a lovely Tabernacle, though not yet entirely completed, serves the community. The money for this purpose was raised in bits, from peo ple here and there, representing many varieties of religious belief, as well a.-a irom those without religious be lief of any kind but who felt that the tabernacle would serve a most use rui purpose in advancing the cause of the Master in a locality where without it, there would be no con venient place of public worship For nearly a score of years Broth liurkhead has labored with great Elementary Grades First Grade: Miss Lucy Leigh Lov ett, Miss Margaret MacNair, Miss Elma Priest Second Grade: Miss Virginia Steed, Miss Ave C.

MARLEY Mr. Editor: As your correspondent, I am not able to give you "Ramseur News" but will write a line that might in terest some of your readers at least. My wife and 1 are stopping over night at this pretty little town, Blowing Green", Va., on our way home from Baltimore where we have been for several days. The town derives its name from the beautiful shady green lawns and fields, I suppose, the hotel named, Lawn Hotel" having a beautiful grassy grove. There is one street or highway) straight through me town and a number of stores on each side. It is the county seat of Caroline county, the present having been built in 1808 as a resident, an old Confederate soldier, about the same age, informed me last night, "and", he added, "the old one is about a mile over . The life of the town is the tourists who are whizzing through all day and night. Numbers ot them stop here tor a night of quite tMmzxmwgmmmsammii new people from Charlotte, N. C, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Florida, and other states. It is our intention to get break fast and drive down to Richmond, 45 miles, and hear Kev. J er zeal in the interests of the church and that his efforts have met with divine approval is the unqualified opinion of all who are familiar with the facts. It is hoped that friends of his will come to the rescue and hasten the completion of the Taber nacle, which, even in its present state, is accomplishing so much making men, women nd children better. We are much gratified to state for the information or all interested John Wesley's Stand that the meet ing just closed there proved the most satisfactory of any in all its history.

Lemmond, a jeweler ol Charlotte, killed his wife by shooting her through the head on last Sunday night and immediately killed him self. Lemmond and his wife were of ten heard quarreling by the neigh bors and were engaged in one of the accustomed quarrels when the killing took place. The latest flogging in Macon, Ga, resulted in the arrest of three white men. They were placed in jail for at tempting to beat up a negro man. The judgment of $1000.00 recover ed by N. M.
