Both of the explosion
property damage, breaking
dow panes in a number of homes ana
cracking the plaster In others. The
force of one of the explosions broke
out panes of glass in the court house
and caused several square yards of
plaster to fall from the eeiling to the
floor in the solicitor’s room.
The explosions were similar to
that which occurred last February.
It broke oat several window panes in
the homes in town and caused no end
of excitement. Several days after
• that explosion the place of occurence
was located just outside the western
corporate limits of Asbeboro.
There is considerable speculation
over those which occurred Christmas
night. Same are at the opinion that
dynamite was used while others claim
that it was a more powerful explos
ion. Tfhastever was used and ,by
whom, tbs explosions were of such a
serious nature as to cause people
worry.
Hundreds of citizens of the town
in addition to the officers of the law
would like to know who is setting off
the blasts. The explosion several
months ago was set down as being
done by some person for a practical
joke, although number of people were
unable to see any joking matter
about it. This time, however, nobody
has any inclination to put the matter
down as a practical joke. There may
be not danger to human life' because
of the Temote spots selected for the
blasts, but there is danger to prop
erty and actual damage done to it.
This is not taking into consideration
the fright which it gives to the pop
ulation which has no way of knowing
when and where the next explosion
may take place.
Ed Iseley, tanked up with liquor
and celebrating Christmas, went
around the village of Stokesdale Sat
urday poking a loaded pistol into
people’s ribs until some of the braver
of the town’s citizenship knocked bim
down and stamped on him and called
the police. Iseley is now in jail *in
default of a $10,000 bond and will do
his next celebrating in court.

charges. He will be tried at the
next term of Randolph county su

It-is rumored that Martlndale is
wanted in South Carolina on soipe
charge of violating the law and that
there is a reward for his capture.
The most serious charge, however, is
that of abandoning a baby on the

vehicle would run over it Happily
it was discovered by a rural mail

COLD WAVE HIT
NATIONSUNDAY
Thermometer Drops to 5 Above
Zero in State—Water Pipes
Freeze and Burst.
People living in the South and in
the Northern States, especially those
along the Atlantic seaboard, awoke
Sunday morning to find themselves
in the grip of a cold, icy wave of
Weather, the most severe of the win
ter and worse than any weather for
several years.
Asheville reported four degrees
above zero, Greensboro and Charlotte
5, while in other places the thermom
eter went ahywhere from these fig
ures to 10 above. In the northern
states temperatures were as low as
24 degrees below zero. Asheville was
the coldest point in the South. In the
states farther South the temperature
averaged 10 above zero. In Charlotte
the thermometer'was reported as be
ing the loweft since 1014 and in other
points lowest since 1917.
The temperature in this section
probably averaged about like that in
Greensboro, although 8 to 10 above
zero was the general estimate of the
temperature here. At any rate, it
was the coldest in the county Sunday
and Monday it has been in years,
probably since the winter of 1917-18.
There was plenty of ice on Deep River
and on other streams in the county.
Garland Lake, in Asheboro, was the
scene of skating parties Monday and
Tuesday.
The rising temperature brought a
number of householders in Ash^boro
the first certain information of dis
aster in the freezing and bursting of
pipes Sunday and Monday. Many of
them were aware that the water
pipes were frozen for the reason that
they had been out of wrater for two
days, but were hoping against hope
that the ice had not cracked the pipes.
Since Tuesday afternoon plumbers
in .town have been busy. The work
is so heavy that the preliminary work
is t«f get a part of the pipes mended
so that the householders can get
water, letting other burst pipes go
until this is done. It will be several
days before plumbers will have the
damage repaired ail over town.
Automobile owners suffered also.
The garages have been busy repairing
radiators of cars which were frozen
during the two days of cold weather.
A number of deaths from the cold
wave has been reported from states
farther north and in the middle west.

MEETING OP FARMERS MUTUAL
FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY
That the Bell Telephone Company,'
♦hich under akflful management has
become the greatest business in Ite
nation and the gieatest? monopoly;
eclipsing the steel trust i»si|p, faces
the prospect of drastic investigation
by'the Federal Trade Commission and
the interstate Commerce Commission
oh charges of existing exhorbitant
rates, is the news that came'out- of
Washington Sunday.
It is alleged that the Bell system
exacts exhorbitant rates through its
contracts with subsidaries, by which
it-Receives 4 1-2 per cent of their
gross revenues in payment of ser
vices, which do not increase in propor
tion that gross revenues increase. In
asmuch as it owns the subsidiaries,
this contract, critics say, operates as
a continuing incentive to rate hoist;
ing, since every hoist means a gain
at both ends.
Its use of the non-regulated W<
era Electric subsidiary as a cost
purchasing agency for its other
sidiaries, whereby it imposes additi
al costs upon phone 'us'hrs, and
ceals the profits.
Its excessive charges for dep
tion, only a part of which are used
replacements, the remainder fo
an immense reserve, collected
from rate payers and then used
invested capital,” as basis for
further rate increases.
Padded .pxpenses, especially
making locaS1 . equipment
higher than, necessary for local
the benefit going to the long "
toll department, used by relati
few. „ ,
An inequitable division
parent and subsidiary of
from long-distance business, wl
local phone users are made to
an undue part of toll costs.
The loading of capital expense
reasonably by the sale of 9 pei
stock when bonds could be carrii
5 per cent or less.
A connected feature ty> which the
attention of Congress has heen called
is the monopoly’s growing practice^
flouting state regulatory bodies said
state Courts by jumAg at will into
federal jurisdiction.
The effect of this, it will be pointed
out, has been to pyramid costs of :
'Si
rate payers or taxpayers;
state authority impotent and to pile
up excessive valuations, which phone
users must carry.
Congress will be asked to take
note that while it tries to hold the
railroads to an average return of
approximately 5 3-4 per cent, the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, Bell monopoly parent, is
paying 9 per cent dividends and earn
ing at the rate of more than 11 per
cent.
The telephone, like the railroad, Is
an indispensible public utility. Con
gress is to be asked why the telephone
company, not subject to as severe
competition as the railroad, should
enjoy so much higher profit than the
railroad.
The American Federation of La
bor, at its recent convention in Atlan
tic City, accused the Bell system of
being “practically uncontrolled in its
treatment of labor. Other critics de
clare it is practically uncontrolled in
its treatment of everybody else, and
are preparing to press for effective
regulation.
M. E. MATTERS
(ByW. H. Willis) U
Matrimonial business has been
good during the holidays. Six coup
les have been united in the bonds of
holy wedlock. Since some of them
do not like to have their names in
the paper, I do not give them. In
each case, save one, the officiating
minister gave the bride a Christmas
gift—that in addition to a husband.
Does anybody know the proper
number of Christmas cards that a
pastor of average popularity in a
small town should receive? The writ
er has oodles of them, each of them
pretty and highly appreciated.
At the Sunday evening service the
Rev. J. E. Pritchard, the pastor of
the M. P. church, was present with
