Randolph county is to have a cream ery at an early date. This is the encouraging news which the commit tee appointed by the board of direc tors of the chamber of commerce brought back with it the first of the week from an investigating trip to Mooresville and Salisbury. The members of this copwfiittee are Dr. M. G. Edwards, Hugh Parks, C, C. Cran ford, S. B. Steaman and J. S. Lewis. The creamery will be established in 'Asheboro and will be modern in every respect. A brihjk building will be re quired for the purpose and in this budding will be installed the latest in machinery and equipment-for the operation of a creamery. The cost of the project will be approximately $20, 000, financed entirely by local capital. The committee which went to Mooresville and Salisbury to investi gate the possibilities of the creamery business was not so much interested in the financial returns from the in vestment which will have to be made in a creamery as in the benefit which will accrue to the farmers of Ran dolph county by the establishment of such an enterprise ip Asheboro. Here tofore, cream and whole milk pro duced by Randolph county farmers from their dairy cows has been sold to creameries outside the county. The business has reached about $30,000 annually. This, it is realized, is but a small part of what the business can eventually be built up to with a cream ery located centrally in the county with routes touching practically every section of the county. It is hoped by those who have interested themselves in the matter that it may reach the proportions of $10,000 or more a month, It has been noted by agricultural workers that counties in which creameries are established and dairy ing carried on to any great extent are the most prosperous the year around. Dairying is not a seasonable business and is not affected by ad versities so much as grain farming or many other branches of agricultural endeavor. The chamber of commerce commit tee indicates that work on the ^con struction of the creamery in Ashe boro will be started at once. Various details attendant upon the buinftng, equipping and management of the project will he worked out immediate ly, it is stated, and no-time lost in creating in Asheboro a fiiarket for dairy products for every termer in the county whether he sells the piq uet from one cow or from a herd.

GRADED SCHOOL COMES TO CLOSE Twenty-four Get Diplomas— Prof. D. D. Carroll Makes an Interesting Address. The commencement season of the Asheboro city schools came to a close last Thursday evening with the ad dress to the graduating class by Prof. D. D. Carroll, of the University of North Carolina, and the presentation of diplomas to the members of the class. . The exercises were opened by the singing of “America” by the audience and the invocation by Rev. B. E. Morris. Dr. E. L. Moffitt presented the speaker of the evening, Prof. D. D. Carroll, who madfe an able ad dress. Prof. Carroll said that he was going to talk on length, breadth and height—mathematical terms .often disagreeable to students. He told the graduates- that they should try to develop length, breadth and height iii their characters. The two Bible characters—Methuselah and Christ—were contrasted. Methus elah evidently did not have very much length, breadth, and heighth of character. The Bible merely says that Methuselah lived nine hundred and sixty-nine years and he died. But the character of the Christ was such that his name has rung through all the ages an will continue to do so. Following Pref. Carroll’s address, Mr. J. 0. Redding, of the school board, delivered the diplomas to the members of the graduating class, which was composed of eighteen young ladies and six young men. Following is the class roll: Misses Pauline Burkhead, Eva Brown, Lovie Brown, Eva Cranford, Pauline El fs Dorothy Lewallen, Frances Moore, Ellen Presnell, Grace Redding, Mrs. Kathleen Black Redding, Louise Swaim, Margaret Tyson, and-Grace White, and Messrs.

The greater part of the time of the regular meeting of the county board of education Monday was taken up in the hearing of delegations from three different sections of the county and the considering a petition pre sented by these delegations. A dele gation from Sophia special school tax district presented a petition asking that the local tax for the district be not reinstated on the grounds that the patrons did not want to transfer the high school pupils to another dis trict but wanted them to attend the Randleman’school. After the matter was considered'bhorougfily it was de cided to levy a tax rate of fifteen cents at Sophia and in Marlboro dis trict instead of the old levy of twenty five cents. The proceeds from this tax .will be used to pay the tuition of high school pupils in these two dis tricts at Randleman and the remain der, if any, to extend the school term at Sophia and Marlboro. No pupils, according to the decision of the board, will be transferred to Randleman ex cept high school students. Another delegation from Providence township presented a petition asking for an election looking to the revoking of the local tax voted in that district a year ago for the purpose of build ing a new school house. The petition did not contain the names of a major ity of the qualified voters of the dis trict as provided by law and no elec tion was recommended by the board. Still another delegation appeared before the board with a petition. This delegation came from Pisgah, High Pine and Welch school districts in Union township. These petitioners asked that a former order of the board consolidating these three districts be rescinded. This the board refused to do, but asked that the school patrons in the township present another peti tion asking for a larger territory to be incorporated in the proposed con solidation. This proposition the pe titioners agreed to holding that if there should be a consolidation of school districts it ought to be on scale large enough to provide for a high school. \ Two locations were offered the mem bers of the board of education as site for the new school building near King Tut, J. T. Brittain offering one and J. A. Holder another. The board took the matter under advisement and will decide on the location later. J. A. Martin, a member of the school board, was given authority to con struct a garage on the high school grounds at Liberty for the purpose of housing the school trucks. The school budget for the year 1926*27 required by the Public School Law was prepared and presented to the board of county commissioners. A resolution was passed awarding the audit of the school funds for the year ending June 30, 1926, to the firm of George G. Scott and Company. The audit had been previously awarded to Scott, Chamley and Company, but the dissolution of that firm fhade it nec essary to change the matter. Houses Are Being N umbered and Mail Boxes Placed in Preparation For Free City Delivery The job of assigning numbers to residences in Asheboro in preparation for the inauguration of city mail de livery beginning July 1st has been completed. Business houses and other establishments were included also in the survey and all were as signed street numbers. C. V. John son, of High Point, was in charge of the work. Property owners of the town have in many instances put the numbers on their houses and some have installed mail boxes. It has been requested by the postoffice authori ties that this be done by the 8ince Applies to Every Man, Woman and Child in the County Re gardless of Color. ! DATES AND PLACES FOR VACCINATIONS ARE SET Work so Laid Out That Citizens In Every Section of Ran dolph Can Benefit. The State Board of Health in co operation with the physicians of the county will offer the people of Rand olph a free vaccination against ty phoid fever and diphtheria. This will apply to every man, woman and child in the county regardless of color. The extension of this valuable free vacci nation service to the people of the county was learned yesterday when letters were received from Dr. P. IK. Register, State Epidemiologist. It is pointed out by Dr. Register that vaccination with typhoid vaccina has been one of the ways by which deaths from typhoid have been de creased from 839 to 271 in the State in the past 11 years, and the number of cases from 8,390 to 1^92. In 1925, 3,437 people in North Car olina had diphtheria and 289 of these died, seven out of every ten of the deaths being among children under six years of age. Bearing this in mind, Dr. Register and the Board of Health advise that every child between the ages of six months and ten yean should take diphtheria vaccine. Rec ords show that three doses of the vac ' cine will immunize 85 per cent of the children treated. Three treatments of diphtheria and 'typhoid vaccine are necessary. Each is harmless and painless. The Board of Health advises that the whole family be brought to the nearest dispensary point for the free treatment. Pour da£es are set at each point in order that the three doses may be given.
