Wall’s Store At
Randleman Robbed
'.» • •»-' • ' •;* •
Thieves Make Clean Sweep of
Fine Lot of Ladies’ Wearing
Apparel.
LOSS WILL REACH $1,500
Mrs. Wall Had Just Gotten In
Her Spring Line.
Thieves entered the store of Mrs.
E. N. Wall and Company at fyufdle
man Tuesday night and took goods
valued at approximately $1,500. En
trance was made by prizing the lock
off the front door. There are no
clues as to the Identity of the person
or persons copimitting the robbery.
Mrs. Wall’s store is located on the
main street of the town. She keeps a
stock of ladies’ millinery, ready-to
wear and ladies’ clothing in general.
Her store is one of the largest in the
county specializing in women’s wear.
Goods taken Tuesday night consisted
of ladies’ dresses, millinery, hosiery,
underwear and notions. All of a new
shipment of spring hats was taken by
the thieves and many of the -winter
hats. Mrs. Wall had just received
large shipments of ladies’ spring
dresses and accessories and these with
the millinery were the heaviest suf
ferers from the robbery.
That the robbery was committed
some time between midnight and day
Wednesday morning is certain, but at
just what hour there is no definite
information, since nobody saw the
thieves nor the truck or car in which
the goods were hauled away.
A number of stores have been
robbed in High Point and Greensboro
during the past few weeks, and the
suspicion has been voiced that the
persons entering the Wall store at
Randleman belong to the gang which
is operating in this section of North
Carolina.

In This County
Figures Compiled By Mr. Clark
Show Randolph Mills Have
85,888 of Them.
1,042 KNITTING MACHINES
Statistics compiled by David Clark,
editor of the Southern Textile Bulle
tin, show that there are in Randolph
county seven cotton mills, having a
total of 85,888 spindles and 1,978
looms. These mills are located in
towns and villages along Deep River.
According to Mr. Clark’s figures,
the spindles and looms are distributed
as follows: Randleman, 21,760 spind
les and 878 looms; Ramseur, 11,280
spindles and 300 looms; Worthville,
10,256 spindles and 300 looms; Cen
tral Falls, 14,828 spindles; Cedar
Falls, 12,300 spindles and 140 looms;
Franklinville, 12,464 spindles and
360 looms; Coleridge, 3,000 spindles.
Mr. Clark gives Randolph 4 knit
ting mills at Asheboro with a total
of 1,042 knitting machines.
High Point has 19 mills with 82,
696 spindles, 972 loom§ and 3,756
knitting machines. Thomasville has
five mills, 32,352 spindles and 378
knitting machines. Lexington has 6
mills with 98,576 spindles, 2,680 looms
and 101 knitting machines.
Within a radius of 25 miles of High
Point, there are 58 mills with 566,
364 spindles, 13,792 looms and 6,750
knitting machines. Within a radius
of 100 miles there are 529 mills with
6,576, 890 spindles, 103,768 looms and
22,239 knitting machines. All of
which leads High Point to lay claim
to being the leading knitting center
in the south. Knoxville and Chatta
nooga, Tenn., have been considered
knitting centers in the Southland, but
Mr. Clark’s figures place High Point
in this position instead of the two
Tennessee cities.
rottery Makers
Are Losing Money
3o Says High Point Professor
Who Has Investigated Prices
In Randolph.
North Carolina pottery makers are
XU. Hardy, of
the geology department of High
Point College. The artists, who are
the pottery makers, says the profes
sor are getting a miserly compensa
tion for their product, while brokers
and retailers are coining the money.
Prof. Hardy cites incidents in which
he drove down to the pottery shops
in Randolph county and bought ar
ticles for 25 and 50 cents, which are
being sold at the art shops in the
cities for twenty times these amounts.
The State, and especially Randolph
county, he says, is losing thousands
of dollars in this manner.
His remedy is standardization of
the pottery-making industry and or
ganization of better sales methods.
At present as in years past pottery is
being made in Randolph county by
crude methods. Little or no machin
ery is being used, the pottery being
made by hand. His opinion is that
the art would not be injured by the
use of modem machinery.
There are acres and acres of the
finest of pottery clay in Randolph
county, and there are several plants
producing pottery, nearly all of which
is sold at the plants, little of it being
shipped. The pottery-making indus
try in the county is, of eourse, not or
ganized, individual craftsmen making
what they can by hand and finding a
ready market for it at their doors.
The prices charged for the pottery
are not high and the profits are not
large. The Randolph pottery makers
love their art more than money.

this year it was 39.4 degrees or three
tenths of one degree above normal,
rhe highest temperature for toe
month was 73 on the 23rd while th«

there were several cloudy days witn
light rein. Number of dear days

Negroes Attempt
Highway Robbery
Made Effort To Hold Up Staley
Fanner, But His Quick Act
Saved Him.
Staley, Jan. 31.—An attempt was
made Saturday night to 'rob West
Kivett who was driving his team
along the road between Staley and
Liberty. Two negroes were engaged
in the enterprise, one grabbing hold
of the reins at the horses’ heads,
while the other made an attempt to
get in the wagon. They demanded
that he stop or they would kill him.
Mr. Kivett laid the lash to the
horses, dragging the negroes along
the meanwhile. The appearance of
an automobile on the road caused the
negroes to desist from their efforts
and flee in the woods.

S. L. Davis Gives Lecture
On Trip To The Holy Land
Mr. S. L. Davis, of High Point,
gave his lecture on his trip to the
Holy Land at the Methodist Episcopal
church last Sunday night. Mr. Davis’
lecture was in place of the* regular
sermon. A large audience greeted
Mr. Davis and were thoroughly in
terested in his remarks. Mr. Davis
several months ago visited the Holy
Land and gathered first-hand infor
mation of the places which are held
dear by Christians the world over. Mr.
Davis has delivered his lecture at
other places, but perhaps nowhere
has he been greeted by a more atten
tive audience than that which as
sembled in the local church Sunday
night. He is a brother of Mrs. C. C.
and Mrs. C. L. Cranford, of Asheboro,
and is well known in this town and
Randolph county.
BAD WEATHER IS COMING
Ground Hog Saw Shadow Yes
terday and Returned to Den.
The Ground Hog, harbinger of
spring, according to the legend that
has grown up around the little ani
mal, came out of his winter sleep
yesterday, took a look around, and
frightened at his shadow returned to
his lowly bed. Now the Ground Hog
prophets will tell you that Old Boris
will blow with wintry blast across the
country and snow and sleet will fall
galore during the next forty days.
For the Ground Hog has decreed that
spring is not near.
Why the Ground Hog has anything
to do with the weather is not explain
ed by those who assert that he con
trols the temperature from February
2 to the middle of March. They know
he does, and that’s all there is to it.
Another thing that is not exactly
clear about the Ground Hog. When
he returns to the great outdoors
after his six weeks voluntary con
finement, why doesn’t he shy again
at his shadow and retreat to the
convenient darkness of the cave.

Hill,
Thurston Cole, eight-year-old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cole, who
live just north of Asheboro, on High
way 70, sustained a fractured left leg
yesterday afternoon about 4 o’clock
when hit by a car driven by Bert Hill,
of sophia. The child was brought to
Memorial hospital, Asheboro, and is
getting along as well as could be ex
pected.
The accident happened on Highway
70 in front of the home of A. B. Cav
eness, about two miles north of
Asheboro. The child was on its way
home from school in company with
a number of other children. All were
playing along the side of the road. Mr.
Hijl was driving towards his home
from Asheboro at a moderate rate of
speed. From information given by
eye-witnesses, the child in playing
dashed out in front of the car and no
blame for the accident is attached to
the driver.
Bureau of Census experts estimate
the population of the United States
on July 1, 1927, at 118,628,000 people.
North Carolina, it is estimated, will
have at that time a population of
2,897,000. North Carolina’s popula
tion Jan. 1, 1920, was 2,559,123.
High School Basketball Teams In The
County Make Good Records This Season
Perhaps at no time in the history of
sports in Randolph county have there
been more and better high school bas
ketball teams than the schools of the
county are furnishing this season.
While data is not at hand as to the
records of all high school basketball
teams in the county, some, of them
have piled up impressive season’s
records and no team in the county has
one of which it need be ashamed.
The basketball team of the Ram
seur school has 22 victories out of
25 games played to its credit. The
games lost were one each to the
Guilford college reserves, Elon col
lege reserves and Bennett all-stars.
This team defeated Liberty Monday
afternoon by the impressive score of
33 to 10. Brady alone for Raitiseur
scored 18 points in this game. Tues
day afternoon, the Ramseur team
came over to Asheboro and took the
long end of a 27 to 20 score from the
Asheboro highs. At the end of the
first half Asheboro was leading 12 to
6 and it looked as if Ramseur would
have a fourth defeat to chalk up on
its record. But in the second half
the visitors uncorked an offensive
which would brook no resistance,
Brady for Ramseur himself scoring
20 points during the game. Rush
was Asheboro’s outstanding star.
Farmer high school team has a
record of 13 victories and 4 losses, ac
cording to information which this
newspaper has. One of these four
games was lost to Asheboro, which
has a good record for the year.
Tuesday night, Farmer high school
team journeyed to Greensboro and de
feated the Greensboro high school
team by a score of 31 to 23. The
first half Greensboro put in its sub
stitutes and at the end of the period

Mr. Hoover Gets
Report On Hawk
Biological Survey Says Hawk He
Killed Was Banded By a
New Jersey Man.
On Tuesday, January 20, Mr. P. B.
Hoover, of Asheboro, Route 2, made
an interesting report to The Courier
office of the capture in a steel trap of
a large hawk. The hawk was killed
after its capture and found to meas
ure 32 inches from tip to tip of its
wings. Mr. Hoover found the hawk
was banded with an aluminum band
around its right leg, the band bearing
the following lettering: Notify Biol.
Surv. No. 210564.” On the inside of
the band was Washington, D. C.” The
Biological Survey at Washington was
notified by this newspaper of Mr.
Hoover’s capture of the hawk.
Tuesday of this week, Mr. Hoover,
in company with Mr. Lee Hoover, al
so of Asheboro, Route 2, was in The
Courier office and brought with him
a letter from E. W. Nel8Qn,«biaf of
Agriculture, Washington, acknowledg
ing receipt of the information rela
tive the the hawk’s capture. Mr. Nel
son advised that the hawk was band
ed by B. S. Bowdish, at Demarset,
l New Jersey, on May 5, 1926, Mr.
; Bowdish being a volunteer cooperator
with the Biological Survey in its
| work of tracing the habits and mi
grations of birds.
By means of banding, Mr. Nelson
advised, the Biological Survey is able
to gather valuable information rela
tive to migrations and life histories
of North American birds. The num
bered bands, according to Mr. Nelson,
are attached by volunteer cooperators
like Mr. Bowdish, who act without
pay.

Jenkins Relieved
Of Jailor’s Job
Is Said To Be Packing Up To Get
Out—Sheriff’s Son To Suc
ceed Him.
A. C. Jenkins, county jailer for
goods to move out and relinquish his
duties to his successor, who will be the
sheriff’s son. Jenkins went in when
J. F. Cranford was made sheriff. He
had tried for the Republican nomina
tion for sheriff and had failed to
make the grade. So he got the jail
or’s job. Cranford went out by the
resignation route some weeks ago.
Now Jenkins goes out by notice
served on him by Sheriff Brady.
Mr. Jenkins, according to best in
formation, was loath to give up his
job. He is said to have felt that he
should be retained until the first of
March, which would mark the end of
a quarter. ’Tis said Sheriff Brady
felt otherwise, and he and Mr. Jen
kins have had some words to ex
change about the matter. At any
rate, Jenkins was served with notice
to vacate his job as keeper of the
county’s bastile and will get out.
Jenkins, so the news on the streets
go, felt he ought to have had more
notice. A day wasn’t enough, nor
wits a wei, perhaps.
With the passing of Mr. Jenkins
the entire personnel of the sheriff’s
office is changed. Mack Lewallen is
office deputy no more. He is suc
ceeded by E. E. Lewallen. And Sher
iff Brady succeeds Mr. Cranford. It
is a new personnel, but still Republi
can.
