Twelve Million Dollars In Minerals Dug Up Despite the fact that many persons are unaware that North Carolina has any mineral resources worth mention big and though little attention i given to them in eomparisen with other natural resources and industries of the Stats, North Carolina is mak ing advances of marked degrees in this field of endeavor as is shown in the chapter on -minerals in the biennial report of M. L. Shipman, Commis sioner of Labor and Printing of North Carolina, which he will present to the Governor and General Assem bly in January, 1925.

According to the report, in 1923 there were 127 producers of min erals in the State who handled the following leading minerals clay (kaolin and pottery) barytes, ' cement products, coal, copper, fleldspar, gar het, gold, granite, iron, limestone, marl, marble, mica, millstones, min eral waters, peat, pottery, quartz, sand gravel silver talc and pyro nhvllit.

Clarity and Children. f t ' 1 n' l I- I ii RE1IGI0US ISSUEST VERY MUCH ALIVE Still Perplexes Democratic Lead-' ers It Is Claimed Catholics Knifed Davis. (By David F. St. Clair,) Washington, Jovember 25th. Southern and Western Democratic members of congress who have re turned here for the opening of the session next week are engaging in a Rood deal of private discussion about the misfortune of the party in the re- cent elections. It is generally ad mitted that the defeat of the party was almost entirely due to the divis ion that arose ovejr the religious issue in the New Yorkonvention. In the campaign it was found impossible to eliminate that issue and Mr. Davis lost millions of votes from both Protes tants and Catholics. The perplexing feature of the sit uation to Democrats here is that the election has not laid the issue on the shelf. Defeat would be counted as simply a swing of the pendulum if the party had freed itself of this klan and anti-klan or Protestant and Cath olic fight within its ranks. But today both Protestants and Catholics are loudly claiming that the defeat of the Democratic party was a victory for Protestants or for Catholics according to the church affiliation of the claim ant. Some Democrats see in the election e w on was secured for turn purpos- I es, to rebuke the Democratic party for j its failure to nominate him for Presi jdent and to compel the' party to nom- mate him four years hence. Smith's . nroclaimed as a challenge ITITTJI ! to his party and the country tnat a Catholic cannot be; elected President of the United States. His Catholic friends declare they' are determined to make another test of this matter and Southern and Western Democratic leaders predict that with a second test the party will suffer a far great er defeat than it did this time. The American hierarchy of the Catholic Church which met in Wash ington at the Holy Name convention in September lalt, Is reported on re liable authoritHto, have decided that the Davis-Btyt.Aicket must be slaughtered hftVaTObuke to' the party. This decision was reached after Card inal O'Connell as a representative of the Pope had made a test of the at titude of President Coolidge towards the Church and the Vatican. The Pres ident is said to have gone as far as he dared in honoring the cardinal as the Pope representative. The enormous majorities that Mr. Coolidge received in Catholic strong holds like New York, Boston, Chicago and St. Louis, it is said here, are striking proof that Catholics were or dered to vote for Coolidge and they did by the millions. Catholic laymen in an endeavor to offset the report that they were told how to vote say: "We did not have to be told, anymore than we did in 1920 when we punish ed the Democratic party. There is, however, a hope among Democrats that if this religious ques tion remains alive to plague the party in the next campaign, the Republicans will also have to meet it The Cath olics are said to have forced Mr. Da vis to denounce the klan after the convention had refused to do so. Mr. Coolidge .was tble to avoid the di lemma and remain silent because he as the first citizen of the republic had done full honors to the hierarchy and through it the papacy. Some Protestants go so far as to charge that Mr. Coolidge entered into a direct "understanding" with the fhierarchy and they look for his ap- pointmenU to office during the four years to reflect this understanding. But the klansmen are protesting that President is their man and that they know him as such. , Some Southern Democrats are pre- dieting that if the Catholic faction m me party mould tnrougn tsmitn seize control of It, the Protestant South would then secede. That straw would break 'the camel's back. The issue they admit cannot be blinked or ignored as Senator Pat Harrison ig nores it saying there Is nothing the matter. "It Is only wing of pmouium.

Randolph county Superior Court will convene in Asheboro Monday with Judge A. M. Stack, of Monroe, presiding. Court will last two weeks. The first week will be for the trial of criminal cases and the second week for the trial of cases on the civil docket. The criminal docket while contain ing 215 cases is not as heavy as the docket has been for the past several courts. The greater number of cases are for violations of the prohibition laws. No cases of major importance are on the docket. There are seven prisoners in jail to be tried at this term of court. Four of the number are colored and the other three lire white people. The civil docket is heavy, contain ing over 300 cases. Meekins May Succeed Late Judge Connor ' The vacancy on the federal bench for the eastern district will cause a big stir among North Carolina Re publicans. President Taft appointed Judge Connor after a long fight in which H. F. Seawell, of Carthage, seemed to be in the lead. Five men are spoken of as aspir ants for the place: Mr. H. F. Seawell, of Carthage; T. T. Hicks, of Hender son, George E. Butler, of Sampson county; Jrvine B. Tucker, of White ville, and Isaac Meekins, of Elizabeth City. It is understood that Meekins has the edge on everybody else in ' the race. He has a strong pull with the Republicans of the administration group. In case Mr. Meekins fails to get the nomination or to be confirmed then Tucker may be the second choice of administration Republicans. ' The fight for this judgeship will be lively. Marion Butler, who never gives or. asks quarter in a contest of this kind will get, behind his brother George and do his utmost for him. It looks now as if the field would be against Meekins, and he will have to muster every possible supporter and use every resource at his command. Mr. Meekins is not now employed by the government. H.

Court will not be the only attrac tion in Asheboro Monday. The court crowds will be augmented by people from all parts of the county who will come probably to lend moral support to the newly elected Republican coun ty officers. Monday is the day the county officers, with the exception of the clerk's office, will be turned over to the Republicans elected November 4th. J. Free Cranford will be sworn as Sheriff, succeeding A. Carl Cox, who has efficiently administered that office for the past two years, and who will leave behind him a record of faithful and impartial service. Le M. Kearas will relinquish the office of Register of Deeds to Ralph O. Smith, who was elected at the recent election. Nobody, not even his bitterest opponents, can say or , have said that he-has not been a j good officer. As evidence of his popularity he led the ticket in the re- j cent election. Five new county commissioners county commissioners will assume their duties next Monday. They are G. Elwood Stanton, John C. Yow, John F. White, Thomas H. Homaday, and C. M. Loflin. Nobody seems to know which of the five will be chairman of the board. Some say Stanton will get the place and others say that Hornaday is slated for the job. Interest will center on the 1 possible activities of the new board of commissioners. Whether there will ' be any radical change from the pres- j ent policies is, of course, problemat ical. No statement so far as we have been able to learn has been made by any member of the new board. There has been, it is understood, a number of applications for the vari ous jobs and positions at the disposi tion of the incoming officers. Appli cations for the county road supervis or's place, it is said, have passed twenty. Just how many applications have been made for the various township jobs is not known. Nor is it known whether the slate has been fixed. Jenkins seems to be certain of the jailor's place since he has hauled a load of feed to the jail barn and has been anxious to move his household goods to the jail this week. How ever, nobody seems to know that he has been promised the place. 'Worth Havon" Name Chosen Voncannon Farm For The judges appointed to pass upon and select the most appropriate name submitted for the Voncannon Farm Development, met and carefully can vassed the names suggested. The many names were read to and listed by the judges, without their knowl edge as to the identity of the pro ponents, and the name "Worth Ha von" was unanimously chosen as the most fitting and appropriate, from the fact that it signifies the names of three former owners, Hamlet, Voncan non and Worth. Upon examination of the coupons it was discovered that this name had been submitted by two proponents, Delia V. Davis and P. H. Morris, both of Asheboro, and in conformity with the proposition made by Mr. McAlis ter, in his announcement of the con test, the twenty dollar prize is equal ly divided between and awarded to the two proponents named. Mrs. Da Vis is the daughter of the late Peter Vuncannon and was born and partial ly reared on the farm which she and Mr. Morris have very appropriately named.

The investi gators have been silent ioiar on their findings and possible recom- s : mendations under consideration. This committee will "probably have a report for the coming session with a series of recommendations looking . v to prison reform. A separate program will be worked out at a meeting; called for December 5 in Greensboro for the citizens' committee of 100 on prison reform, sponsored by the state board of charities and public - welfare. -"' The new legislature . wifl " have opportunities a-plenty to enact pris- -,, on legislation. How much of it will . be handled is problematical. Quite an extensive program was recommended- to the regular session of 19Z3, nut UXr tie of-it gof through. In addition to the citizens' committee and the legr.., islative committee, the PTwe attthor-r ities themselves will have several we w- ommendations to make for prison leg islation, it is understood.; Brummitt MavtBfi Put On Full Time Basis A movement said to have the con-, currence of Attorney General-elect : , Dennin G. Brummitt to place the At torney General of the State on a full , time basis and. to ghre.him a suffi- . cient number of assistants" to do all k' ' the legal "work of the State ia beingr pushed quietly among the membera , of the General Assembly it is report- s v ed' from Raleigh. The office of the Attorney General '' now has one assistant, Frank Nash, who has done a large part of the work " of the office during the pest fours . years. If the plan under considera tion goes through there will probably - , be two assistants-in ddition-tq! JMmU-. -Nash. The present salary of the Attorney General was fixed at $4,000 in 1921 on the understanding that the office should require only a part of the time r , of the Attorney General. Any bill to increase the salary of the office will -l , have to be passed by the General Aa- 1 sembly before . the inauguration of ,- Mr. Brummitt for the reason that the . '- 't constitution prohibits any change in . -' ' the salaries of constitutional officers during their term of office. Mr. E. Jason Hamilton Bays PrHch ard's Grocery ia South Asheboro Mr. Jason Hamilton, who has been associated with the grocrey firms of Stedman and Ferree for several yean has purchased Pritchard g Grocery in '; ,..
