F. Ross, chairman, and J. F. Hughes present. A number of patrons from Bell’s Grove and Gravel mu districts in New Hope township presented a petition to the board ask ing that their district boundaries re main as now constituted for the rea son that they were opposed to consoli dation of school districts in any form. These patrons were assured by the board that when the matter of school district consolidation in New Hope comes up, again for Consideration an opportunity would be given each side i to discuss the proposition. The school committee of Marlboro I and Sophia districts came before the board and requested that the local tax levy made several years ago in their districts t>e reinstated. Request was granted by the bqard and a levy of 25 cents on the $100 valuation will be made, the proceeds derived from Xhe tax to be used to pay tuition of stu dents from these districts in any high school in the county they may desire to attend and the remainder to be used to increase the length of the school terms in the two districts. It was the decision of the board that if the local tax election to be held in Back Creek and Tabernacle township carries that the«cons'olidat ed school building will be built at the center of the territory running from east to west on Highway 76, or with in one-half mile from the center on either side.

Jesse Cox, who purchased the old building, is to have a year in which to remove the house. 4 The matter of disposal of two small . lots belonging to tho Trinity school grounds was referred to the school committee for investigation and rec ommendation. • E.

Stealiitg Meat is Latest Occupation of Thieves The stealing of pork and bacon seems to be the very latest occupa tion of a gang of thieves who have t started operations in the northern part of Montgomery and the southern part of Randolph counties. One night last week robbers entered a smoke house,belonging to Mr. Frank Steed, of Steeds, and carried away every piece of meat Mr. Steed had in the smokehouse except one small piece of bacon. There is no doubt but what this gang of pork robbers are com bined with a gang who are stealing meat In huge quantities for Hie pur pose of selling to the public through some crooked "middlemen" It has al so been reported that similar rob beries have occurred in the vicinity of Asheborp. Last week a young man was arrested in Lexington for selling pork bn the streets without license and it was afterwards learned that it was the pork which was stolen from some farmer in Western North Carolina. « . ■ ■■■— —.....

Dr. Charles P. Myers, pastor of, the First Presbyterian church of Greensboro, closed his series of meet ings at the Asheboro Presbyterian church Friday night of last week, j Much interest was taken in these ser-' vices by the people from many parts of the county. Each night the church was filled to its capacity. Few speakers have been more genuinely helpful or more universally liked than Dr. Myers. Wednesday night Dr. Jfyers spoke on the “Sin of Indifference.” He re minded the congregation of the fever ish interest which the wofld war ex- j cited in great and small. Even the child felt that he must do his bit. While in the cause of religion men are as indifferent as the soldiers .at the Crucifixion, who we are told “sat down and watched Him there.” Every one must have and does have a mast er, he said. Where could one find a better Master than Christ t- On the last night of, the meeting the subject was, “The Greatest Thing ih the Worid.” To Paul’s mind that was re demption. Dr. Myers spoke of the religious department of the United States Treasury at Washington, i There, he said, one might take the most soiled and ragged scrap of paper currency and exchange it for new money. So it is in the Kingdom of God. The most soiled and broken wreck of a man may be taken to the foot of the cross and there be re newed and washed from every stain. “If any man be in Christ Jesus, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away, behold all things are become new.” Prof. C. E. Teague Named On School Survey Committee Prof. C. E.
