========== THE COURIER PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY Wm. C. Hammer, Editor Thursday, October 28, 1926 Entered as second class mail matte.* hi the postoffice at Asheboro, N. C.

McELHANNON United States Senator LEE S. OVERMAN Congress, 7th N. C. District Wm. C. HAMMER Clerk D. M. Weatherly admits that Frank M. Wright has been called in to the Clerk’s office from time to time for consultation. See Mr. Weatherly’s statement in another column of this issue. But, when Mr. Wright is telling the voters that he has gone into the Clerk’s office to straighten things out, why doesn’t he tell the whole truth about it? Read what Mr. Weatherly has to say about it and then refer to the records for confirmation if you care to do so. The audit of the county finances shows that Sheriff J. F. Cranford has made no return during the year end ing June 30, 1926, of fees and license taxes collected by him and due Ran dolph county. These fees and license taxes amount to the snug sum of $10, 278.36. Is there any good reason why no return has been made of these col lections and the money paid into the coffers of the county treasury? The law imperatively requires him to make an itemized report of all col lections the first of each month. Why is it that the commissioners of the county do not require the sheriff to discharge his duty? Why is it, the average voter and taxpayer, would like to know, that borrow money while the audit of June S|P» 1926, showed that more than $113,000 in taxes was due and still uncollected by the sheriff ? No effort •f any consequence has been made to collect this money which is due the county by the officer sworn to do his duty in this respect. The county continues t« borrow money and the taxpayers foot the interest bill be cause a Republican sheriff fails to do his duty and the commissioners are so impotent that they will not force him to discharge the duties of his office. *- V* » . . . ■ -— If an explanation relative to the increased indebtedness of Randolph county over that of two years ago has ever been made by any member of the present Republican administra tion it has escaped general notice. The Courier has asked for an explan ation. The Democratic candidates have challenged the administration or hny defender of it to tell the facts. The only answer given is silence. The audit has not been published, save for the figures which The Courier baa taken from it and made public. The Republican candidates have refused "to meet the Democrats in joint de bate. The whole Republican game from start to finish has been one of .dodging the issue. THE “STILL” HUNT The audit of the county finances for the year ending June 30, 1926, showed that $785 had been paid by the county during twelve months for . captured distilleries. This is not a | large item, of course, but it is $785. The law requires that captured dis tilleries dull be held in the custody ef the sheriff and sold for junk. There is no record anywhere in the audit of any money having been re funded the county by the, sheriff from proceeds of the sale of stills for junk. If all the stills captured during the year by the officers are in the hands ef the sheriff it is evident that not far from $100 each was paid for their capture. Why has the sheriff not complied with the law with re benefit In former years much of the trading done by* Randolph county people has gone out of the county. Particularly has this been true with reference to Christmas shopping, i This season the merchants of | Asheboro have decided to begin in plenty of time to acquaint the peo ple of the county with the goods to be obtained in Asheboro stores in order that this trade may be kept at home. Asheboro stores are keeping pace with the needs of the people of the county. They are stocked with seasonable merchandise and the prices asked for same will compare favor ably with those asked for similar goods elsewhere in the State. It is the local merchant, whether he. lives in Asheboro, Ramseur, Frank linville, Liberty, or at some cross roads in the county, who helps keep the wheels of business and progress moving in the county. It is not the mail order merchant who helps build : up the county nor is it the out-of-the county merchant. It is the local merchant who extends courtesies and favors when needed and it is he who contributes to the churches and other local institutions of the county. When prices and quality of goods are equal, it is more or less a patriotic duty to patronize the home town merchant. Randolph county people are beginning to realize this as is evidenced by the increasing business done by the Randolph county mer chants. JUST LIKE THE OTHERS A printer in a western North Carolina county in printing some tickets got the middle initial of John son J. Hayes, Republican candidate for United States Senator, wrong. When the error was found all the tickets were destroyed and the job 1 done over again. Mistakes frequently happen in print shops, for printers are human beings and there are a hundred different ways in which typo graphical errors similar to this may occur. Mr. Hayes, instead of taking the sensible position that it was only a typographical error, proceeded to vent his spleen in a series of speeches j by telling the world, or as many as would listen to his silly display, that the Democrats were trying to “do” him. In the language of the Lexing ton Dispatch, Mr. Hayes was “shoot ing at snowbirds” instead of taking a common-sense view of the mistake. The Dispatch confesses to a disap pointment over Mr. Hayes’ display. The impression that newspaper had gotten of Mr. Hayes was that he was a little above the average of Repub lican politicians. It is now compelled to place him in the same category as the xeat. Hayes threaten^ J^_sen<\ a whole brigade out of the Democrat ic party to the penitentiary if they “messed with him.” And therein he stamped himself with the mark of the ordinary Republican county politician, ever afraid of his shadow and contin ually shouting from the tree tops that the Democrats are trying to “do” him. Never in the history of North Caro lina politics since the days of 1000 has there been a campaign in which the Republican orators have not cried out from every stump that they have been defrauded. It is the Republican alibi for defeat. And in this alibi an insult is offered the intelligence of j the State of North Carolina. WELCOME It is nothing new, this coming of i Republicans into the Democratic fold. Each year finds thinking men in j North Carolina turning from the moribund party of special privilege to the party which for 25 years has been the constructive force in North Carolina’s marvelous development. A party that offers nothing to its State, has no platform save plati tudes, expresses no indignation at the scandals in high office in the land, that exists only for the sake of filling the seats at the federal pie counter, can never hope to grow. Con sequently, each year finds the Demo cratic majority in North Carolina larger; finds recruits from the thin ning ranks of Republicanism march ing under the banner of progressive Democracy. In another column of this issue will be found a letter from Joe Led well, former Randolph county man, who had been a Republican all his life until a few days ago. In this letter Mr. Ledwell announces his in tention of joining hands next Tues day with the forces of constructive progress. The Democratic party welcomes men of the type of Mr. Led-, well, for it is such men who provide the driving force in the party which builds the State and having built rules wisely. 0: '' ^3 Caidwa Big Carp His fishing tackle jerked from his and jumped into ftainford Reser vyiij di> ucicns, ocoiiwUi) recovered his line, and after a straggle landed ; a 20-pound carp, believed to be 80 LOOK AT YOUR TICKET When the Democratic Congres ; sional tickets sent to DitmIsm county were opened several days ! ago it was found that in them were j several hundred tickets bearing the I name of S.

E» , CONFERENCE CLOSING (Continued from page 1) i C. H. Ireland, of Greensboro, pre ! sented the report of the board of , lay activities. The report stressed I the necessity of enlarging the mem bership of the conference brother hood and provided for the appoint ment at the first quarterly confer ence of a layman in each charge to i look after the securing of lay mem ■ bers to this organisation. At pres ent it has 286 clerical members who 1 are beneficiary. This amount paid on the death of a member is now $1,650. | L. W. Colson submitted the report of the conference committee on hos pitals. It included a recommendation that steps be taken to secure official standing for all chaplains who are now unofficially representing Protest ant churches at Oteen hospital. It recommended the appointment of a special committee’ composed of W. H. Webster, T. A. Hathcock and H. K. Boyer to handle this proposition. W. H. Willis presented the report of the pastors’ school held each summer at Duke university. It included num erous interesting statistics as to at tendance and credits. Mrs. W. A. Newell submitted the re port for the board of temperance and social service, which included sev eral recommendations as to possi ble legislation to be secured from the next general assembly, the most important of which was the enact ment of a law requiring the publica tion two weeks prior to marriage of the intention of the contracting parties to wed. C. A. Wood submitted the report of the Children’s Home at Winston-Salem. The number of inmates of this institution has been increased during the year, from 180 to 209 and there is a large number clamoring for admission. The report gave in detail the prog ress made by the home during the year in various lines. G. A. Bell, of Charlotte, submitted the report of the trustees of the con ference superannuate endowment fund. With his report he turned into the treasury of the conference a check for $6,887.69, representing interest on investments.
