Randleman Girls 2nd In a preliminary contest in the 1927, provides that the she collector shall report to tbt commissioners taxes due for the pre ceding year and all lands on which taxes are' unpaid shall be advertised for sale on the first Monday in June following. The machinery for foreclosing provides for advertising by order-of the county commissioners for four weeks in a newspaper pub lished in the county. The sheriff must file his list next Monday in every county in the State aag advertise and sell, but the law requires the notice of sale to run for four weeks- and need not be published until the day of publication of the second week in May in order to give four weeks newspaper notice before June 6, this year. The sheriff shall report county commissioners what ..— done and make affidavit that he has made diligent effort to collect out of personal property of the taxpayer or by other means all taxes from those ud10 have no real estate, and shall re port such other facts with respect to such taxpayers as may be of informa tion to the county commissioners. The county commissioners shall then make a minute of the list of such per sons who have no land, and by reso lution declare them to be insolvents.

The route to be taken by Highway 75 through Ashebciro was definitely settled Thursday of last week when it was agreed that it should follow the course of the ald Salisbury road through town. This decision was made by State Highway Commis sioner Frank Pago, of Raleigh, and Fifth District Commissioner J. El wood Cox, of High Point. Two routes were possible for the road and each Make Good Sale Of County Bonds They Bring Good Premium And The Interest Rate Is Most Satisfactory To Board. Are Funding Bonds To Take Up All Short Term Notes Outstanding. The board of commissioners of Ran dolph county met yesterday at noon in the court house and sold $646,000 in bonds for the purpose of funding the floating indebtedness of the county, which amounts to $644,228.40. These bonds were bought by the Bankers’ Securities Corporation, of Durham, which made a bid of 4.76 per cent in terest and a premium of $5,350. This means that the net interest rate on the bonds will be 4.43 per cent. The next best bid was 4.46 per cent in terest. Fourteen bidders were present. Financial corporations in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cincinnati, Toledo, and Durham were represented. Sealed proposals were first received by the commissioners. None of these bids being satisfactory, however, the board put the bonds up at auction, which resulted in a mote satisfactory sale. The rate of interest at which the bonds were sold is considered unusual for county bonds. Few counties in the State have been able to make . a more satisfactory sale at so low an interest rate. These bonds were issued by the commissioners to take up outstanding short term notes existing when they came into office in December, 1926. It represents a saving in interest rate since the commissioners have been paying from five to six per cent on these short term notes. The bond is sue in no way makes an increased in debtedness, but is merely the' taking care of at a cheaper rate of the debt which existed. December 1, 1926. Under the law, the proceeds of the bonds can be used for no other pur pose than the-paying off of the short term notes.

At some places nearly the whole of the farmers’ flocks have been taken, while in others only a few chickens.

Kearns not many nights ago took a pot shot at a thief who carried off some of his chickens. He had been missing a few each morning and was on the look out for the thief. The thief escaped unhurt, but Mr. Kearns recovered the chicken which the thief carried away.

McCrary has issued a call for a mass meeting of the citi zens of the town of Asheboro to be held in the court house at 8 o'clock Saturday night, April 30th, for On purpose of nominating a citizens? ticket for mayor and town aldermen. The candidates named at this meeting will be voted on Tuesday, May 3rd, ia the municipal election. It has been the custom for several years past to name a citizens’ ticket ‘ at a mass meeting of citizens of the town. These mass meetings have been held as this one will be, on Saturday night before the election. Generally, the chief interest is in the mass meet ing and very few have paid any at tention to the election the following Tuesday. Many towns and cities in the-Stabs hold primaries for the nomination of the municipal candidates, and some of them hold mass meetings, mass meetings, however, are times held two weeks or a week i of the election. Registration for the town election this year has been heavy, probably the heaviest on record for a munic ipal election. Whether this predicts a contest in the mass meeting or ia the election, or both, is not known. No announcements have been made as to who is seeking either the office of mayor or membership on the hoard of aldermen. Street talk hsa It that there will be at least two candidates for mayor, if not more, and that there will probably he a contest for seats on the town council.
