Two weeks ago information from the city water department was that ' no serious shortage of water was anticipated in Asheboro. However, since no rain has relieved the pro longed drought, the town finds itself facing an insufficient water supply as have many towns and cities in the State. The shortage has not yet reach ed the acute stage, but unless pre cautions are taken to conserve the existing supply it will soon reach that point. • In order to acquaint the citizens of the town ‘ with the condition and the regulations that have been laid down to meet the situation, the city water department has issued circular letters to each water customer. The people of the town are urgently re , quested to cooperate with the water department in its effort to conserve the supply. The letter follows: To all patrons of city water: On account of the insufficient water supply it is necessary to make the I following regulations beginning at once: REGULATION NO 1: No water will "be permitted to be used for the pur • pose of washing automobiles, sprink ling streets or sidewalks, lawns or other use which is not absolutely nec essary for domestic or manufacturing purposes or any other line of business. REGULATION NO. 2: All manu facturing plants (all kinds), Hotels, Restaurants, Bottling Plants, Mercan tile establishments, Garages, Filling Stations, Barber Shops, all public ^places and all other kinds of business using city water must reduce to ac tual needs and no water wasted. REGULATION NO. 3: All domestic ' and household users must use as eco nomically as possible by reducing quantity for general use and . baths and all other purposes. PENALTY FOR NOT CARRYING OUT REGULATIONS: Service will be cut off and fined and it will be to your interest to see that you have no leaks on your premises as the meters will register the amount you use and you will be held, responsible for the amount passing* through them. We regret that it is necessary to make these regulations but it is. ab solutely necessary and we will expect all citizens to cooperate with us. C. H. RUSH, Supt. Water Plant. TAX RECEIPTS DATE BACK TO YEARS 1814 AND 1817 Were Given to William Hinshaw in 1814 and 1817—Miss Lit tler Has Them Now. While in Asheboro Wednesday, Miss Beulah Littler, of Ramseur, called at The Courier office and exhibited two old tax receipts given in the years 1814 and 1817 to William Hinshaw, uncle of her grandfather. These re ceipts, while showing signs of age, are well preserved and aye perfectly legible. One of the receipts is dated Nov. 26, 1814, showing that W. Goodman, deputy collector of taxes at that • time, had received from William 'Hin shaw the sum of $3.67 “for direct tax on his property under act of' Congress passed August 1813.” The other recipt was dated Feb. 27, ,1817, and was for direct property tax es for the year 1815 collected from Mr. Hinshaw by George Hoover, dep uty collector 'for the 10th district of North Carolina. This receipt was for * - $3.62. . The land on which these taxes were levied was what is now known as the Williams place on Harlin’s Creek, be tween Ramseur and Franklinville. *• William Hinshaw lived for ■ many years with Miss Littler’s grandfather, Lewis Harlin, and the tax receipts have been handed down as family rel ics. • Lutterloh Reunion Shot At On Highway REUNION OF THE VUNCANNOIf FAMILY ON SEPTEMBER 14TH There will be a reunion of the Vun cannon family at the old home place of the late Peter Vuncannon at Min eral Springs, three miles west of Asheboro, Sunday, September 14th. It is especially urged that all mem bers of the family connections, rela tives and friends be present to enjoy the occasion. Dinner will be served on the grounds and those attending are requested to bring a well-filled basket. The annual reunion of the Lutter loh family was held at Richland church, near Liberty, last Sunday. A large number of the members of the family were present and the-occasion was very much enjoyed. A picnic dinner was served on the church lawn. *--v'v " - Raymond Coggins, young man of Dfmtmi^nMghborhood, was struck in by an 'i'hsrG ! DROUGHT HOLDS UP ROAD WORK Takes 70 Gallons Per Minute for Concrete Pouring—Can’t Be Had Now. Owing to the continued drought And the resulting shortage of water, it is feared that the pouring of concrete on ' Route No. 70 South, and Route No. 75 East of town will be held up foi^ a while. Ziegler Brothers, contractors, have Joeen in town this week looking over the situation, and it is feared that they will have to postpone work until they can get a sufficient supply of water. ‘ The contractors say that it takes approximately 70 gallons of water per minute when they get start ed, and it is out of the question for the town to try and furnish them at this time. A possible source at the McGrew mine Southwest of town was looked over, but *the contractors do not think this will furnish enough, and also the artesian well located near the Randolph Chair Co., from which the town formerly got water was considered, but still the' contrac tors do not believe this adequate. The people of Asheboro would like very much to see the work get under way but if a source of water cannot be had, it will have to wait. COAL STRIKE AFFECTS ANTHRACITE DISTRICT Over the 500 square miles in north eastern Pennsylvania . in which is stored the nation’s supply of anthra ! cite not a colliery whistle is heard nor j can a mine car be seen to climb the , breaker. On hundred and fifty-eight ! thousand hard coal miners qtfit on the stroke of midnight Monday because the leaders of the miners and the mine owners could not come to terms over wage contracts. Ten thousand rail road men, employed by the railroads to move the usual run of coal, are thrown out of work also.

The grave is loca ted on the John Rush farm about teip miles south of Asheboro. It lies in the corner *f a field undisturbed, a simple white headstone marking the resting place of the Revolutionary he ro. The stone has on it the following inscription: “Colonel Andrew Balfour, of re vered memory, a native of Edinburgh, Scotland. Murdered by a band of to nes at his home March 10, 1872. ‘In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord.’ ” Surrounding the central stone are the .stones making the grave of his | son, Andrew, and his sister, Marga ret.

Troy and many of. their descendants are living in Randolph and adjoining coun ties. A few of the descendants were those who visited the resting place of Colonel Balfour Friday. The visitors took pictures of the graves and of the group of descendants present and Mr. Cannon wrote an interesting sketch of the life of Balfour for last Sun day’s issue of the Daily Newrs. WATER IN RIVERS LOW AND WELLS DRY DAILY The present drought in Randolph county has had few equals in the his tory of the oldest inhabitants. Wells in many parts of the county have gone dry and the people are forced to carry drinking water. Dozens of small streams are dry and have been for weeks. The Uwharrie River at Trin ity has been dry for more than a month. For many weeks there was barely enough water in the stream to run. The Uwharrie is the lowest known in the Farmer section. Deep River and the Yadkin are the lowest in the memory' of the oldest citizens. Crops are badly damaged. Many farmers find themselves facing not only shortage of corn crop but also a insufficient supply of hay. The grass is not growing and hasn’t for several weeks. Many farmers are cutting down their com for roughage, there not being enough corn on the stalks to warrant pulling it. The dry spell is said to Jbe as bad as the one of 1886, which is said to have been the worst or one of the worst in the history of the State.

Crime is on the increase in North Carolina, judging from the increase in the number of cases tried in the Superior courts of the State for the j twelve month period ending July 30th,; 1925. According to the annual report i of Attorney General Dennis G. Brum- j mitt, there were 14,706 criminal cases tried in these courts in North Caro- j lina during the year, or 385 more than the previous year. Violations of the prohibition laws i led all other offenses with 4,4801 cases, or 1,733 more than for the previous year. A number of other! crimes showed an increase over the j preceding 12-month period. Larceny and receiving numbered 1,945 cases, while assault with deadly weapons numbered 1,293. Fifteen men were sentenced to die in the electric chair during the period. For murder in the second degree there were 249 cases tried and 84 for manslaughter. Mecklenburg led all the counties in the State in number of cases with 1, 166. Currituck came last with only 7 criminal cases. Following is a list 6* ««Ma In in the State: Alamance, 252; ORGANIZES “OUTS” IN BATTLE ARRAY Kohloss Heads Movement to Or ganize Republicans In AD Parts of State. News comes from Greensboro that R. A. Kohloss, of Liberty, Randolph county, is heading1 a movement to or ganize Republican clubs in every voting precinct in North Carolina. Randolph and Chatham counties, so the story goes, were selected as the entering wedge in this far-flung or ganization. Kohloss is president of the organization in the State and 3. J. Jenkins, of Siler City, is another officer. In Randolph, Dr. J. D. Gregg, of Liberty, is county president of the 1 organization, R. E. Johnson, of Ashe boro, is vice president, and C. N. Cox, of Asheboro, is secretary and treas ; urer. A precinct club at Liberty ha# as its president S. G. Frazier, A. CL Pickett, vice president, and R. 3fL Garner, secretary-treasurer. In Chatham, L. L. VVrenn, of Siler ■ City, is pesident of the club, C. CL Brewer, of Bonlee, vice president, aads W. S. Durham, of Siler City, secm tary-treasurer. The cohorts of Marion Butler, the henchmen of the ‘‘Anti-Hog Combine’*, the “outs”, seem to: be behind the movement, whose purpose, as herald ed to the people, is to wrest North Carolina from the Democrats, but, if one is to believe other members of the party not included in the organiz ation, is for the purpose of taking: the Republican organization in the State from the hands of the “ins”, like Dave Blair and W. G. Branham, and place it in the hands of the “outs” led by Marion Butler. Judging from the roster of the of ficers of the organization in this county, one is led to the Sonclusion that none who enjoy the Federal pie counter are eligible to membership. The membership seems to be exclusive and confined to the “outs”. R. A. Xohloss, who is heading the move ment in North Carolina, is a deposed revenue agent. He is ably assisted by Dr. J. D. Gregg, of Liberty, wh*» failed to get his coveted seat at the pie counter. Another assistant is R. E. Johnson, deposed from seat of the mighty in the Randolph county court house by the “ins”, and of whom it is said when he left the courthouse, shorn of authority, made the remark that he might continue to vote, the Republican ticket, hut could not work longer for the party. Somebody had to go, it is said, and Johnson, was the goat. And this too in face of the fact that by virtue of official capac ity as secretary to the county Re publican executive committee furnish ed a lot of the fireworks in the recent campaign. He may have felt like he should have been rewarded for hi* efforts in behalf of the Grand 014 Party, but Johnson and the duly cons tituted officials couldn’t mix and he had to walk the gang plank. Stitt another of the officers of the organ ization in this county is Clifford S£. Cox, who, if reports are correct, is to hold the purse strings. Just why Cox should have been included in the “outs” is not known. He is county attorney and Republican county chair-: man and by virtue of this should he one of the “ins". However, maybe the Federal pie counter has attrac tions for Cox and by virtue of this he gets in a class with the “outs”. But, before the echo of the fanfare of trumpets announcing this formid able organization died out, Mario* Butler, himself, from his Washington* office, issues a statement in which he denies being “daddy” of the organize I tion. He does not denounce the plan | as being unsound, but makes the point that' it is premature. He takes ; occasion to say that the men promot ing the clubs have a contempt for the present State Republican organiza tion in North Carolina. And then he takes a fling at Chairman Bramhai* and others who are guiding the des tinies of his party in North Carolina However, before the announcement was made of the formation of the clubs, it was intimated that Butter was in sympathy with such a nurse-,, ment and that it had his sanctioai. Whether he is really the “daddy” oC the organization and his henchmcft were too enthusiastic in their worifeii | or whether Kohloss is acting inde-s j pendently of both Butler and t$|pi | State organization is not known the average reader it appears cog has slipped somewhere and the old machinery of the crowd is not in good working or From Raleigh comes a stat from Gilliam Grisson, who, by of holding a Federal job, is not ■ ble to membership. Grissom in parables and hasn’t slightest indication of what he : by his statement, but the Butler < will perhaps be able to interpr remarks. “For instance,” Mr. Grissom “one of the present office might be a splendid public and have an excellent public He would be an asset to any , can club and to the 1 A former office a record which was the party.
