TOWN TO HAVE
CITY m
Effective July 1, Next, Two Reg
ular Carriers Will Deliver
Mall at Doors.
Effective July 1. next, Ashebero
will have free dty nfail delivery. This
is the substance of information that
has been received from the Postoffice
Department at Washington by Post
master U. C. Richardson and the
Asheboro Chamber of Commerce. Two
regular carriers wpl serve the town.
The matter of free mail delivery
for Asheboro was taken up with the
Postoffice Department several months
ago by the local postmaster and an
inspector was sent to look over the
* situation. That his recommendation
was favorable is indicated by the an
nouncement received. The mayor and
also the secretary of th«| chamber of
■commerce have also had the matter
before the postal authorities.
Asheboro ha# for several months
had the requirements for free dty de
livery. The postal receipts have been
more than 60 per cent above the min
imum requirement* for such service
and the miles of paved streets in pro
portion to the population were also
had by the town. Asheboro has more
than 18 miles of connected paved
streets not counting those that do
not connect. -
The news of the securing of free
delivery was received with a great
deal of satisfaction by local people
who have been interested in the mat
ter. That it will increase the postal
receipts and put the town in a more
favorable light among the towns and
cities of the State are certain. In
addition to this, the convenience it
will be to the citizens of the town
cannot be measured.

the best poliey. To his friends and
neighbors he was'ever true and loy
al. He daily went to his tasks per
forming them faithfully and well.
For many years he had been a
workman in the Asheboro Wheelbar

his many admirable traits of char
acter. Until the first of the year no

inevitable, a complication of ailments
arising. . ,vk.

MR. JEREMIAH S. COX
DIES IN GREENSBORO
Was 80 Years Old—Born in Hoi:
ijr Springs Section of Ran
dolph County.
Jeremiah S Cox, one of the oldest
citizens of Greensboro, died Monday
at the,age of 80 years. He was born
in the1 Holly Springs section of Ran
dolph county in 1846, the -on of
; Simeon and Roth Allen Cox, and was
| a descendant of a long line of Quaker
) progenitors.
His early education was received at
the public schools of the county and
New Garden Boarding school, now
Guilford college, .at which institution
he served for some time as superin
tendent. He was an active promoter
of educational enterprises and served
on the Guilford county board of edu
cation. For 50 years he was an elder

charge or salary. For the past 30

Randolph County Has a
Large Number Prosecutions
Randolph county does not occupy
an enviable position among the 100
counties of the State in the matter
of prosecutions per 1,000 inhabitants.
Figures compiled from court records
by the University News Bureau show
that during the year beginning July,
1924, and ending July,1925, there were
6.3 prosecutions per 1,000 white in
habitants in the county and 25.6 per
1,000 negro inhabitants. In respect
of white people prosecuted the county
stood 75th among the counties of the
State, only 25 counties having a larg
er percentage of prosecutions.
Whether this large ratio of pro
portions is due to more lawlessness
or vigilance on the part of those who
enforce the law, or both, is not known.
It is encouraging, however, that what
ever may be the cause for it, prose
cutions for major offenses in the
county are few and probably the
greater percentage is fotf violation of
the prohibition laws. \

a keen interest in religious, civic
political affairs and was a moving

which Mr. Capel was held. *
