State library Commission Will Send
Book Truck To Randolph Next Week
Will Traverse Fixed Routes,
Stopping at Houses Along
The Way.
MISS PETTY IN CHARGE
Schedule Given For Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of
Next Week.
The North Carolina Library Com
mission, at Raleigh, is to try an in
teresting experiment this summer and
Randolph county is to benefit thereby.
The Library Commission is one of
the State departments financed by
the State and has for its purpose the
encouraging of reading more and bet
ter books by loaning them to commu
nities, schools and individuals, with
out library facilities, free of charge,
except transportaton which will be
only six or seven cents a book.
Ota the 23rd of July a book wagon
is to start fronTfhe Commission’s of
fice in Raleigh filled with about 700
books of all kinds and on many
subjects. It will come direct to Ashe
borol and make headquarters there
while in the county, going out each
day in a different direction visiting
farms and small communities showing
the books and telling of the service the
Library Commission can render to
North Carolina citizens. All of the
bo&ks will be available to loan to any
who may desire to borrow.
\ The Asheboro Woman’s Club ldhra
ing of this contemplated service
asked that Randolph county be includ
ed in the itinerary and also that Miss
Annie F. Petty, a loyal Randolphian,
•who is assistant secretary and direc
tor of the Library Commission, be in
charge of the work. She it was who
conceived the idea of carrying the
Commission to the people in the rural
districts and we are fortunate in
having her in charge of the work.
However, this could not have been
made possible without the co-oper
ation of the Durham public library
and its efficient librarian and board
of trustees. Mrs. Lillian B. Griggs,
secretary and director of the Library
.Commission, was formerly the librar
iad of the Duham public library and
during Jjer administration the Kiwaii
1S Clgb of Durham gave a book truck
the public library in order that
they might more efficiently carry on
their county extension work. When
Mrs. Griggs asked for the loan of
to her request andf'
were *glad to co-operate with the
State department in this very import-,
ant work.
Moore and Montgomery counties
will be visited following Randolph.
Watch out for the book truck and
take time to look the books over and
select something to read. You may
find just the book you have been
wanting for a long time. The Wo
man's Club of Asheboro is to route
the truck while in Randolph county
and plan each day’s trip.
On next Thursday, the 23rd, Miss
Petty will come down the mountain
road from High Point out by the old
county home and in. to Asheboro.
Friday, the 24th, her route will be
from Asheboro up Route 70 to the
King Tut filling station, thence out
62 to Liberty and on to Julian. From
Julian she will go out to Red Cross
and from there out to Gray’s Chapel
and bade 62 to Asheboro.
Saturday the rgjite will be from
Asheboro out the Uwharrie road to
Farmer and from Farmer to Bombay
Just below Bombay she will turn to
the left going by way of Lassiter’s
Mill to Mechanic retracing the Uwhar
rie road from Mechanic to Asheboro.
Routes to be traversed the following
week will be published in next week’s
issue of the Courier.
NORTH CAROLINA LEADS
IN VALUE OF TOBACCO
Although producing only 278,
320.000 pounds of tobacco as against
419.685.000 for Kentucky, North
Carolina continued to lead all other
states in the value of the 1924 crop,
according to announcement made
Monday by the joint crop reporting
service of the United States and
North Carolina departments of agri
culture. The North Carolina crop
last year brought $71,807,000 against
$71,767,000 received for the Kentucky
crop.

STREET ASSESSMENTS
DUE MUST BE PAID
Town Board Instructs Tax Col
lector To Collect or Adver
tise For Sale.
At the regular monthly meeting of
the Town Board of Commissioners
held Thursday night, J«ly 3th, the
Board of Commissioners instructed
the Tax Collector to collect all street
assessments that are due, and in case
of non-payment to advertise the prop
erty for sale.
The Board of Commissioners do not
want to work a hardship on anyone
and explain that it is merely a busi
ness proposition, and the city must
run its business as would any business
man. The city had to issue bonds to
do the work, and is now having to
pay interest on the bonds and deposit
in the sinking fund to retire them, and
it is as necessary for the citizens to
come forward and pay their part of
the paving as it is for the city to pay
the interest on the bonds. Like any
other business institution, the city
in order to pay what it owes must col
lect from those owing it.
Quite a large number have respond
ed to the notices sent out, but there
are a few who have not responded to
the call, and the council is anxious to
have the few remaining delinquents
come forward and do their part.

When Confronted by Negro—
Escapes Officers.
Hazel Garner, daughter of Rufus
Garner who keeps house for Mr. and
Mrs. Donnie Bean at their home just
off of the Cox road about one
mile from town, was badly frightened
Tuesday morning about 10 o’clock by
an unclothed negro man. Miss Gar
ner heard a hen cackling in the woods
back of the house and went out to
look for a hen’s nest. Hearing a
noise behind her while in the act of
searching for the nest, she looked
around and was confronted by a ne
gro, who made some remark to her
which she did not understand. She
immediately ran to the home of a
neighbor and gave the alarm.
Chief of Police Steed went to the
scene and the bloodhounds were
brought and put on the track, but
after trailing for about a hundred
yards, the trail was lost and the negro
was not apprehended.
About a year ago a similar episode
occurred in almost the same vicinity.
And at intervals of years women in
’the outskirts of town have been
frightened by negro prowlers. No
attacks have been made,'however, on]
any of the women frightened.

SHOOTS SELF IN W
HEART WITH GUN
A. C. Jackson, of Level Crosafa
Died By Own Hand—Was j :i$
In 111 Health. j
Alton Curtis Jackson, aged 41'
years, farmer of the Level Cross
community, committed suicide Tues
day afternoon about 1 o’clock by
shooting himself through the heart
with a shotgun. He had been a sufferer
from pellagra for more than two
years and at times was despondent |
and often his mind seemed unhal
anced. It was during one of these >
spells of despondency that he shot
himself Tuesday. The act was com- f |
mitted about 200 yards from the
house in a copse of woods. From the ; 1
position in which he was found it ,'ffi
was evident that he had sat down
on the ground on a small knoll,
placed the barrel of the gun against >
his breast and pulled the trigger.
| Members of the family, hearing the ~
: shot, summoned assistance and found
j the body a few minutes after death.

several years ago and had lived a
devout Christian life since his con- -im
version, taking an active interest in
