Sigman Present Postmaster at Thomasville, Formerly Reg ister of Deeds of Davidson County Is Sued Amount He Owes the County Is' Claimed to Be $6,540.25. I F. E. Sigman present postmaster at Thomasville, formerly Register of I Deeds of Davidson County and a for-" j mer Republican county chairman on his official bond for 5,000, the Na tional Surety Co. being his bonds'-, man. The amount due the county it is claimed rs $6,540.25, The suit- is for that amount against Sigman and $5,000 of which is sought to te gotten from the Surety Company. - ' Of this amount is claimed that vouchers were drawn for mere than $3,600 and no entry made upon stubs', or minute books of the'-county, while seven additional vouchers show "they called for and were cashed for a total' of $2,550. The stubs for these vouchers an dthe minute books of the Register of Deeds it i8 alleged in he complaint show a charge of only $970.00 of the $2,550 amount of the vouchers. This transaction grewout of re indexing the county records, which was contracted to Joseph B. Thorpe of Greensboro. . The complaint alleges that no re cord was made of the supposed ' con tract between the cornnflssioners and Thorpe. The total amount paid for re-indexing real estate conveyances and chattel mortgages said to be nearly $14,500 which the present board declare is excessive and it is rumored and alleged that there must have been a rake off for someone, a thing which sometimes occurs. Many of the vouchers drawn by Sigmon it is alleged were cashed by Sigmon himself and the proceeds; de posited in the bank to his credit, ; the vouchers usually being to Thorpe 'and endorsed by him to Sigman, a rather unusual thing for a county officer to engage in. Among other things the complaint alleges: "The defendant F. E. Sigman upon the forms for vouchers ' as aforesaid , and on the form bearing the num - ber Z1258 signed and Issued An the payment to himself of the sum of $386.25, which order was issued without authority from the Board of County Commissioners and was never entered on the Minutes of the Board nor on the stub book and the same waa collected by F.

DEATH OR THOMAS VERNON HAITHCOCK ASHEBORO HEARS MOUNTAIN SPEAKER McCoy Franklin Spoke Very later eatingl? In Presbyterian Church Sunday Night. Last week's state wide Christian Endeavor Convention, held at Greens boro, overflowed into Randolph coun ty and it was Asheboro s good for tune to hear one of the convention's leading speakers.. McCoy Franklin is one of those remarkable men who have been chipped from the heart of the North Carolina mountains. He was offered $1,000 to go on the stage but declined the offer to return to the ministry of his own people. Speaking in the Presbyterian church last Sunday night he told the story of his struggle for an education. His father opposed it. Young Frank lin waited until he was twenty-one , years ? aSe and then assuming the responsibilities of maturity, he sold his pig and his steer, put the price, $25.00 in his pocket took his trunk on his shoulder and started out into the world to win an education. He had never ridden on a train. He had never seen a telephone. He knew nothing of arithmetic or gram mar. But within ten years he had worked his way through high school and college, had received a Theologi cal Training and was an accredited Presbyterian minister. Mr. Franklin painted a vivid pic ture of the condition of mountain peo ple. He could imitate the calls of mountain birds and beasts so accur ately that it seemed like he had brought a mangeria into church with him. He told of an "A" grade high scnooi tnat had been built for moun tain children from the proceeds of a sale of old clothing. Next Sundav night the Presbyterian church will make an offering for his school and we hope that this school will turn out many more such sturdy mountain men as himself. MRS.

A-, on Wodneeday evening, October 84. Practically all of the thirty-live mam be rs wore present Mr. Dan Grant secretary of the University alumni association, the speaker of the evening, was introduc ed av Mr Jons, tfsrtsoad or Askoooro, Mr. Grant pointed out the fact that the club can do much toward abol ishing the prevalent idea that there ia such a big gap between our high schools and the university. Another misconception of many people is that colleges put one on golden strectx and flowery beds of ease. The speak er declared that a college is merely a tool, or machine, helping ua to be bet ter farmers, lawyers, doctors, etc. After Mr. Grant'i talk, all formal ity was done away with, and every one applied himself to the punch bowl and the "eaU" that followed. Hail and hearty was the laughter when the Jokes began to come from the representatives of the different part of old Randolph, but both the aerious nean anil frivolity seemed to bring about one conclusion that Randolph is a good place to come from and to call "home .

(By David F.SU Clair). i Washington, October 31, In the Republican party it is ::ow Clifford j Pinchot for President against tht, field. The governor of Pefmsylvar has within the last two weeks rai such a political sensation aftd rec ' such a spontaneous response fr's the dry forces of the country becaui of the aggressive position, that . Jf has assumed in the enforcement e the Federal prohibition law, that the Coolidge administration is planning te wage war on the Keystone State gov ernor throughout the country. At least three important private -, conferences have been held at tbs White House within the last week."' The immediate purpose of these con ferences has been to raise sufficiast money among the great capitalists of the Republican party to defeat Gov ernor Pinchot in the ief forts he Is -now making to secure an instructed delegation for himself from his;,, State to the Republican National Con vention. It is understood here on reliable authority that the brewers , and other large liquor dealers and bootleggers sent word tosome of tho persons who attended these White House conferences that every dollar needed to defeat Pinchot in Pennsyl--'; vania could be supplied and no ques tions asked. Pinchot's attack on President ., Coolidge for the failure of the sd- ' ministration to enforce the Volstead -act and the manner in which the 1 President has reacted to that attack: have actually caused many of the prohibitionists to regard the Presi- . dent as wet. Some of the governor's friends here have reported that ho has been simply deluged with messagj : es from all parts of the country of--. fering him support and denouncing -. the President for his "half-hearted ; stand." The administration spokesmen an now busy sending out propaganda to the effect that it is as bad policy for' the Republicans to take a nuei from -Pennsylvania for President as it.; would be for the Democrats to" take a man from the South. The Pinchot men answer that the greatest Republican State the -Union is now entitled to name the Republican candidate and - especially the man who has redeemed the State from half century reign of graft- , en,.and plujejress ssn.aTao -o1her-; State in the Union has""iiad trsttffe!f The governor is filling every eonwr of the State with this doctrine. Both the Pennsjyrvania senators have been at the White House eos ferences ' and have come sway as serting that the State delegation w9 never be instructed for the bowss but it is new fully recognised! :.lbW"T Pinchot la the most danimi S f t that Coolidge -..ill have to meet. 1 j J boldness is more tnan a mssen i t the President's caution and bo Is 1 ' Mrded as a far more rtaosK i politician. Pinchot did mote tassi afT?:j other man to discredit the Toft a- ministration in the Ballard sey and his fight in against the Penrose nweune, -m- though with its maater aan4 desd h marks him as antagonist te 'be fosse. 1 a,.-,; ThS hope of -the White Hosss B( - r thai ; Sank tors Pepper aod Rood aa . rein vi go rats the Pensoss essrsiias ' with sufft strength to cwojskort so as to Vtev" the masses of , CJ " poodIs who elected the governor so ehooao ths SUU'a detsgsUosu Posostst' vsaia has ns Proaldontiei prissary aldential primsrr mC- ths seleetioa of Kegatee assst M made by a Stats oeorentloa osrf dh triet convsntions.
