WAS SUPT. OF SOLDIERS’
HOME FROM 1910 TO 1917
Hgwt for Years Been Most Active
In AU Things For The Wel
fare of County.
Cap*. W. S. Lineberry, one of the
county’s most prominent citizens,
died at his home at Locust Grove
Farm) near Millboro, Monday night at
the age of seventy-nine years. He
was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs.
Lemuel Lineberry, of Randolph coun
ty. Captain Lineberry was the
youngest of a family of eight child
ren/only one of whom survives, a
sister, Strs. L. M. McKinnon, of
Maxton.
At the of 17, Captain Line
berry enlisted in Company F, 70th
regiment, North Carolina Junior Re
serves and was in a short time pro
moted to the rank of drill master. He
was later appointed lieutenant which
office he held only a short time as
he was named captaih of his unit
soon afterward. He served the Con
federate States throughout the re
mainder of, the war after which he
returned to his home in Randolph
county, beginning the walk along
life’s highway. With desolation and
devastation facing him, he was cour
ageous and determined and became
one of the State’s most prominent
citizens.
He was a life long Democrat and
took the keenest and most enthusi
astic interest in county, State and
national politics. For many years
Capt. Lineberry served as sergeant
at-arms in the State Legislature.
In 1910,"he was appointed superin
tendent of the Soldiers, Home ini
Raleigh which office he held until
1917. While in charge of the home
numerous improvements were made
under his direction. Being a Con
federate veteran, Capt. Lineberry
saw life from the same vieyr point as
his comrades, and during his stay
there he and his estimable companion
gave careful and considerate attention
to the comfort and pleasure of the
Confederate veterans with whom they
were associated..
After retiring from his position at
the home> Captain Lineberry returned
to the county, resuming the manage
ment of Locust Gitove fern# whidh hb
owned for many years.
Captain Lineberry was marrried to
Miss Louisa Vickory, of Randleman.
To this union were nine children, all
of whom survive. They are W. L.
Lineberry, of Mebane; Mrs. J. M.
Aldridge, Of Millboroj John H. Line
berry, of Winston-Salem; C. F. Line
berry, of Elkin; Mrs. R. M. Spencer,
of Waycross, Ga.; James A. Line
berry, of Aberdeen; Mrs. Frank E.
Minor, of North Garden, Va.; Mrs.
Willis Booth, of Greensboro; and
Joseph S. Lineberry, of Millboro.
Thirty-two grandchildren and two
great grandchildren also survive.
In early life, Captain Lineberry af
filiated with the Gray’s Chapel church
of which he has been pn active, ener
getic and influential member. Next
to his church and family, the venerable
gentleman was interested in his com
rades of the sixties and was never
too weary to alleviate the distress of
those in need. His friendship, his
loyalty and faithfulness to his family
and friends will long be an inspira
tion. For the first time in many
years, Capt. Lineberry was unable to
attend the Confederate reunion in
Asheboro on May 10th. His absence
was noticeable and jnuch deplored.
Since the death of his companion
two years ago Capt. Lineberry’s sor
row had impaired his health. His
devotion to his wife during her ill
ness and his love for his family was
most beautiful. Truly a devoted par
ent, a kind friend and neighbor has
gone to his reward.

DROUGHTBROKEN
IN THE COUNTY
General Rain of Saturday and
Sunday Did Thousands of
Dollars Worth of Good.
One 6f the finest rains this section
of North Carolina has had in quite a
while fell Saturday ami Sunday and
broke the prolonged drought which
had become serious in North Carolina,
South Carolina and Virginia. Accord
ing to the official report, 1.59 inches
fell in Asheboro in the two days and
fell in such a gentle manner that
[very little of it ran off. The cloudy
weather for the two days also added
considerably to the effect of the rain
as there was little evaporation taking
place.
The rain here, according to the of
ficial weather observer, was the result
.of a large low pressure area that
reached on Friday from Kansas to
Central Texas. This moved rapidly
eastward bringing a general rain for
all this section and one that was worth
millions of dollars to the farmers and
to business in general.
Reports from all sections of North
Carolina Monday were that the rain
was general and brought relief to
distressed farmers everywhere in the
State. The rain also extended into
the eastern section of. North Caro
lina where light showers had been
falling at regular intervals.
Prayers for rain had been general
in this State and in South Carolina
and the coming of the rain was be
lieved by many to have come the re
sult of these prayers.
The general rain came in just
right for growing crops, but in many
sections of the State it has been so
dry that stands of cotton are bad. In
some sections it has been impossible
to get com and cotton up. It is not
too late to plant com now and prob
ably many thousands of acres will be
put in since the rain.

SINGLE GIRLS
WIN BALL GAME
Contest Replete With Spectacu
lar Plays—-Took Adding Ma
chine To Cbunt the Runs.
Dispaying a brand of baseball sel
dom read about and never seen, the
Single Girls defeated the Married
Ladies last Thursday by the score of
17 to 11 before a large and enthusias
tic throng. Plays never before exe
cuted in the annals of the national
pastime were performed in a manner
which brought cheers from the de-*
lighted multitude and dismay to the
umpire and score keeper.
The Single Girls pranced on the
field led, by their doughty captain,
Adelaide Armfield, and displayed a
variety of form in fielding, throwing,
and in knickers. The Married Ladies
arrived somewhat later but with no
less enthusiasm and pep than their
unmarried sisters. They were clad in
raiment which has never before found
its way to a ball game, and probably
shall never be seen there again. Mr.
C. Rush, who Should be decorated
for bravery, called the game, and the
orgy began. The first inning was
rather disastrous for the Married La
dies, although Mrs. Fred Page gal
loped across the platter for the first
run of the game., Seven Single Girls
paraded across home plate in their
half of the inning, in spite of the
fact that it required fifteen balls to
walk a batswoman.
When the sun began dropping nearer
the horizon, and the light of day was
fading fast, the married ladies heard
the call of famished husbands bidding
them come and prepare the nightly
repast, and the game was brought to
a close. With the help of an adding
machine it was discovered that three
and one-half innings had been reeled
off in the record-breaking time of
three hours, and by a process of
accounting the runs were totaled.
The contest was replete ^ith spec
tacular plays. Mrs. Hal Walker cap
tured several smoking grounders in
the folds of her' Parisian Creation,
and robbed ambitious ones of hits.
The footwork of Mrs. W. C. Hammer
around second base was a marvel to
the fans. Mrs. Page and Mrs. Un
derwood carried the pitching burden
for the Better Halves, and showed a
world of stuff—balls that reached
home base on the fly, balls that
bounced over, and balls that didn’t
get there. For the Single Girls,
Cranford, IngranP&hd Moore pitched
their opponents into submission.
“Babe” Ingram slugged a mighty
drive for a home run, and collected
the reward offered by the dry-clean
ing company. Redding hit a long one,
ran around to third, and sat down,
weariness overcoming the desire for
the plaudits that reward a home run
hitter. Underwood and Cranford
slashed out three hits each, leading
their cohorts.
With the end of - the game, the
gladiators took to their Sloan’s lini
ment and rubbing alcohol, and, ac
cording to the latest report, all the
patients are doing well.

SOME FACTS ON
SCHOOL LIBRARY
Mrs. Fox Tells What Is Needed
To Put Local Library in Class
A-l This Fair
Mrs. Chas. M. Fox, chairman of the
educational committee of the Woman’s
Club, has for the past two years been
actively interested in improving the
school library. For the information
of the citizens of the town and county,
The Courier has asked Mrs. Fox for
a communication, which follows:
^ Facts About the School Library
There are 912 books in both the
High School and Elementary libraries.
The State requires 1,000 books in each
of the two libraries, making a total of
2,000 books, and a shortage of 1,088
in the library proper.
We shall probably be able to pass
our High School library, but 700
books are necessary for the Elemen
tary. These 700 books have been list
ed and priced at a cost of fifty cents
to $2.00 each, which will necessitate
an expenditure of $800.00.
We have on hand from different
attractions given at the auditorium
during the winter $56.46. Proceeds
from the baseball game June 17th
amounted to $52.36. From sales *on
flavorings and pencils, $7.04. Total
of cash on hand $115.86. .
We hope to have the hearty co
operation of every Asheboro citizen in
raising this money to place our school
in the A-l class this f$ll.
We cannot boast of an A-l school
until we have an A-l library. We
cannot boost our town, until we have
an A-l school.
Next week will be published in this
paper a partial list of books accept
able to the library for the benefit of
any who want to donate books.

Woman’s Club.
The Music Department of the
Woman’s Club presented a three-act
musical hit, “See You Later”, at the
school auditorium Tuesday evening.
The play was coached by Miss Eloise
L. Batchelor, of the Triangle Produc

younger set of the town. The prin
cipal characters were William Under

son, Jack Cranford, Eva Cranford,
Dorothy Lewallen, Mabel Ingram,

Not only the principal characters were
unusually good for amateurs, but the
chorus was splendidly trained and
full of "pep”. A pleasing thread of
comedy ran through the entire three
acts by Dr. Presnell and Junior Mc
Cain. The love story of two couples,
Nancy Browning, William Underwood,
Clarabel Morris and Dr. 0. L. Pres
nell furnished romance, and Ralph
Smith was the wealthy but stern
father. Dan Bums was a typical
Englishman, his dry wit adding to the
fun of the entertainment. The orches
tra furnished music between acts.

There Is Still Time ToTake Vaccination
Those Who Failed To Take Advantage of First Date Have Another
Chance At This Free Service.
People of the county who for one

place of vaccination against typhoid
fever and diphtheria the first of the

advantage of this free health service
offered by the State Board of Health
if the dates and places given below are
kept in mind. Three doses of vaccine
are necessary and three dates still re

WOULD OPEN UP FINE
SECTION OF THE COUNTY
It Is Said That District Highway
Commissioner Cox Is Favor- «
able to Extending Rt.
A movement is under way to secure
the extension of Route 62 from Ashe
boro to New London, where connec
tion would be made with route 80
extending from Albemarle to Salis
bury. The extension proposed would
follow in a general direction the coun
ty highway from Asheboro to Far
mer and on to Bombay, then across
lower Davidson and into northern
Stanly to New London.’ The highway
now extends from Burlington by way
of Liberty to Asheboro.
The proposed extension would open
up one of the finest fanning sections
in Central North Carolina and would
relieve congestion on Route 10 from
Burlington to Greensboro and also
partly relieve it from Greensboro to
Salisbury. It would shorten the dis
tance from Asheboro to Albemarle
from 49 to 39 miles. Not only would
it open up a section of the State that
has no State highway outlet, but it
would furnish one of the most scenic
routes in North Carolina, passing as
it would through the northern part of
'the Uwharrie mountain range.
The board of county commissioners
for Randolph county at the regular
monthly meeting the first of this
month passed a resolution extending
to the State Highway Commission
the county highway from Asheboro to
Farmer for use as a part of the ex
tension of 62. Individuals have been
at work on the proposed extension for
some time, and last week the Ashe
boro Chamber of Commerce and a
delegation of business men from Al
bemarle interested themselves in the
project. Business men of Albemarle
are as anxious for the extension as
are those of Asheboro, for the exten
sion of the route and the opening up
of the territory traversed would mean
more business for both Asheboro .and
the county seat of Stanly county.
A delegation from Albemarle was in
AsTieboro Wednesday of last week and
held a conference with several mem
! bers of the Asheboro Chamber of
I Commerce gotten together for the pur
pose. Mr. J. A. Spence presided over
the meeting. Quite a lot of time was
taken up in the discussion of the bene
fits of the proposed routes and the
manner in which the business men
present would go about securing the
extension. It is understood that plans
were laid to carry the matter to the
highway commission in a concrete
form. It is understood also that
District Commissioner J. Elwood Cox,
of High Point, is favorable to the
project and will recommend the ex
tension of the route as a part of the
