. filtered as second class mail matt*./ ti the postoffice at Asheboro, N. C. If you would ask the ■«»«««» Amer ican citizen the general the greatest trust in the worm, me answer would invariably be, Amer ica.” But that citizen would be wrong. The greatest trust in the world, according to the New York Journal of Commerce, is in Sweden. And it manufactures and deals in such small articles as matches. In fact, matches are all it makes. It has branches in 35 different countries THURSDAY of the world. Tariffs don’t affect it. For if the tariff wall in a country gets too high for the trust to meet competition, it merely buys out a bunch of match factories and goes serenely on its way. This trust con trols from 50 to 75 per cent of the world’s match production. The won der is that with so large amount of the production cornered the price should be as cheap as it is. A DAIRYING COUNTY The Asheboro Chamber of Com merce, after a thorough investigation, decided that one of the best ways of building for greater things in Ran dolph was the making over of the county into a leading dairy county. With this in view, one of the first acts of the chamber of commerce was to assist in the establishment of a creamery. This enterprise opened for business some two weeks ago and al ready is building up a patronage among the farmers of the county. It has now turned out two churnings of butter, “Dew-drop,” as fine a butter as ever graced the plate on any table in Asheboro. The establishment of the creamery Js but the beginning of the develop ment of the county. The chamber of commerce and the farm demonstrator would have been holding out some thing without a promise of reward had they preached dairying to the farmers of the county and then had given no encouragement in the find ing of a market for the inevitable product of dairying-cream. Produc tion and marketing go hand in hand. With the beginning that has been made there is every reason to be lieve that Randolph will become one of the leading counties in the State in dairying. To become the leading county in this industry is not an idle dream, but something which may ma terialize into a certainty. For years past there has been some dairying conducted in the county. Creamery routes from Burlington have been in operation in Randolph for some years back and a considerable sum of mon ey is paid to Randolph farmers every month by the creamery at Burlington. With these routes still in operation, coupled with those that have been es tablished and will be established by the local creamery, no Randolph farm er should find it difficult to market his product. He should rather find it difficult to supply the demand. THAT P. & N. ROUTE The Concord Times says that the Piedmont and Northern could no doubt get a cheaper right of way from Charlotte through Stanly county to Durham for the reason that land along such route is not developed like that through Concord, Salisbury and Lexington. Then, too, the Times opines that the Piedmont and North ern could not get half as much busi pess along this lower route through Stanly county as it could by taking the upper route. ■ It may be that the Piedmont and {Northern withdrew its request be fore the Interstate Commerce Com mission on account of land values and it may have been for another reason. It is noted that several of tfce large railway lines doing business along the route first proposed by the P. & N. have since entered their protests be fore the Interstate Commerce Com mission. But in some parts this withdrawal of the P. & N. petition is viewed in a very far different light. Mow, let’s see about this so-called fewer route. If the P. & N. is extend ed from Charlotte to Durham it could hardly miss Randolph county. It would have to go through Stanly, of course. And §ay railway line from Charlotte up through the middle tier of the Piedmont counties which miss ed Stanly county would be cutting its in the beginning. Railway hoards of directors rarely ever do this, ie is one of the leading man centers in the Piedmont, is a tremendous amount of from Albemarle and Stanly y, and the completion of large r projects in and near the county ate that there will be no in the development of industries. the road would through Dr. Jacob Redding Dies In Indiana Student, Investigator, Physician, He Rose To Prominence In His State. Father A Tar Heel Who Left Randolph County 96 Years Ago. The following from the Knights town, Indiana, Banner of recent date will be of interest to many Courier readers: DEATH OF DR. JACOB REDDING Dr. Jacob Redding, age 84 years, died at his home on North Franldm street, this city, Monday, March 14, at 1:30 o’clock. The funeral services were conducted at the home Thurs day afternoon at 2 o’clock and burial was made at Walnut Ridge ceme I tery, west of Carthage. The widow, Mrs. Anna Redding, | survives him; a former companion, a | daughter and little grandson preceded ; him in death. Dr. Redding was bom August 29, 1843, on a farm southeast of New Castle, and was the son of Iredel and I Anna Nixon Redding and the last survivor of a family of nine. His schooling consisted of a few terms in the district and city schools of New Castle of that early date. When about 16 years of age he began the study of medicine and attended the Ohio Medical School at Cincinnati, interrupting his course there to give his service to his country during the Civil War, enlisting as sergeant in Company B., 139th Indiana Infantry. At the close of the war he resumed his studies with the Physio, Medical School at Indianapolis, where he grad uated and for many years held the chair of microscopy and normal and j pathological histology. He was | always a student and investigator and original thinker, not only upon medi cal subjects, but was a mechanical genius and a theologian as well. His knowledge of medicine was demon strated by his high standing in the American Society of Microscopists, and the numerous journals and mono graphs of which he was the author which were printed in the official magazine of this society. He was the author of “The Molecular Theory of Physics; Physiology—Its Science and Philosophy.” He was a Bible student and was the author of several works of a theological nature. Dr. and Mrs. Redding have made their home in Knightstown for seven years. Seven years ago he suffered a paralytic stroke from which he ! became helpless, and was the loving, tender care of his devoted wife, who survives him. As a practitioner of medicine, Dr. Redding was well known in Madison, ■ Rush, Henry and Fayett counties. He first began the practice of medi cine at Falmouth, Ind. Dr. Redding was a brother of the late Thomas B. Redding, of New Castle. Mrs. Red ding is the daughter of the late Joshua Moore, of Carthage. (Ed. Note. Dr. Redding’s father, Iredell Redding, left his home three miles west of Asheboro 96 years ago and located in Indiana. His wife was an aunt of the late Dr. Barney Nixon, one of the most prominent physicians 1 the country has ever had. Iredell Redding’s father came from the east I em part of North Carolina to Ran I dolph and was one of the first set j tiers to come to the county following i the Revolutionary War. Of Iredell j Redding, it is recalled by Mrs. Ann | Vuncannon, one of the oldest residents j of Randolph, that he once returned to North Carolina after moving to In I liana and made the trip to and from j the State on horseback. Dr. Jacob Redding was a cousin of j Mr. W. F. Redding, of Asheboro, the only near relative surviving in Ran dolph county. Mr. Redding visited the family of Dr. Redding in Indiana about seven years ago and recalls the most pleasant visit which he had. Mr. Redding was en route to the Republican national convention in Chicago and stopped over with Dr. Redding and other family connections in order to renew old ties of friend ship and relationship. It may be recalled in this connec tion that during the years following the Civil War, North Carolina fur nished thousands of people to the State of Indiana, and that perhaps more went from Randolph than any other one county in the State. North Carolina people moved away to escape the horrors and hardships of Recon struction and found a ready welcome in Indiana.) * places. These two towns are manu facturing centers. All up and down Deep River are cotton mills which must ship their product over some railroad. There is no reason why the P. ft N. couldn't make a bid for t|ft business. There is no reason why,-ff the P. ft N. then should want to get into Greensboro, why the road could n’t make a bid on the A. ft Y. some day. It would have the same chance as the Southern. The route then from Ramseur to Durham is also rich in industry and agriculture. In fact, the entire route is so pregnant with industry and pos sibilities of industry that the Tribune’s statement that “if that country had been rich in resources or .manufacturing plants some rail line would have traversed it long ago,” is a little out «f date or written hurried Celebrate Mr. E. L. Brown’s Birthday This The 8th Year His Children Have Remembered Him With Homecoming. On Sunday, April 27th, the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren met at the home of Mr. E. L. Brown, on Asheboro, Star Route, to celebrate his 78th birthday. A long table was placed out in the yard and the chil dren filled it with many good things to eat, after which all gathered ' around the table and Mrs. W. P. j Brown, a daughter-in-law, returned thanks and all enjoyed a good, hearty dinner. This is the 8th year that the chib i dren have all gathered home to cele brate the birthday of their father. Since the last meeting there has been one death, a daughter, Mrs. C. L. Bray, of Liberty. Those enjoying the happy event this year were, Mr. and Mrs. A. G. I Hilliard and family, Mrs Elber L. Brown and family, Mr. and Mrs. Bernice Brown and son, Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Stinson and daughter, all of 1 Greensboro; Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Stout and daughter, little Dorothy Lee, of Mt. Airy; Mr. C. L. Bray, of Liberty; Mrs. Lou Stinson, Mr. Hugh Brown and Miss Isabell Brown, of Ashe boro. Late in the afternoon all began to leave for their homes, wishing their dear old father and grandfather many, many more birthdays. Sheriff To Report All Unpaid Taxes (Continued from page 1) There is not so much change in the law as to the sale of real estate, ex ! cept that under the old law, the law heretofore existing, the words “all taxes” were not included to be sold on the first Monday in May, and the word “or” on the first Monday of some other month following unless the commissioners fixed another day for the sale. There was no provision for report of all unpaid taxes the first Monday in May as is in the new law, and there was no provision compell ing the commissioners to advertise on the first Monday in June as provided by the new act. The former sheriff made no rounds for collection of taxes by law last fall. He did not have the tax books in time to do so for the reason that they were not made out in time and , the sheriff gave no bond. The former 1 county commissioners permitted those in charge of the tax listing to be derelict in complying with the express requirements of the statute. When they were completed long after the election, a considerable time after the law required them to be completed, the sheriff was unable to give bond therefor promptly. The present com missioners were indulgent and gave him a limited time instead of remov ing him from office. Finally he re signed, and it was clear there was a considerable shortage. A new sheriff was appointed January 12th and re ceived the tax books January 19, this year. He made one round and has been on the job since, but taxpayers are not in a hurry to pay, but now they must pay under the law so that1 the sheriff can settle by the first Monday in July. As stated above, section four pro vides that the sheriff must report names of all unpaid taxpayers on the first Monday in May. Since writing the foregoing, it is clear that from reading the opinion of Attorney General Brummitt that the important matter for commissioners to consider is to see that settlement of the taxes is made by the sheriff on the first Monday in July. Therefore, in W'ake county the county attorney after consulting the Attorney Gener al,. suggests that the commissioners may fix the date of sale about the 10th or 15th of June, and the first advertisement should be published in that event about the 10th or 15th of May so that it could run four weeks, and the date of sale continued under the law from day to day even so late as June 30 before actual sale is made. | Under the law it appears that the i date of the first advertisement may be made later than May 15, just so sale can be made and completed by June 30th. Baptist Women Holding Meeting In Greensboro The annual meeting of the Woman’s Missionary union of the Piedmont Baptist association is being held today in the Forest Avenue Baptist church in Greensboro. Mrs. W. N. Jones, of Raleigh, president, is presiding. Dele gates and visitors from all the Bap tist churches in the Piedmont asso ciation are in attendance. Miss Mary Moon, of Franklinville, is one of the officers of the association, being young people's leader. Miss Moon presided over the after noon session. Mrs. W. A. Elam, of Ramseur, and Mrs. Earl Cox, of Ashe boro, took a part in the afternoon program. Snow and the accompanying cold weather have done considerable dam age to crops and fruit in the Middle Western states.

A special session will be held at the Westminister church, Greensboro, June 21st, next. Sessions last Thursday morning were largely routine in the hearing of reports, which showed a substantial growth in membership and con tions in the presbytery durii past year. Total gifts to all -causes amounted to well over $350,000 while approxi mately $68,000 of this went to the benevolent work of the church. The gain in membership was 1,004, show ing 535 received on profession of faith and 469 by letter. This gain, however, was offset by the loss members and the total number ported was 9,713. Steps were taken at the session looking to the organization of a church at Coal Glen, in Lee county, this action being taken at the reouest of some 38 individuals fro community. Rev. C. G. Smith, pastor of t cal church, was unanimously e to the office of treasurer of the pres bytery to succeed E. J. Davis, of Greensboro, resigned. Mr. Smith will assume his duties at once and will receive and disburse all benevolent funds of the 72 churches of the pres bytery as well as the regular funds of the presbytery for current run ning expenses of this court. Among the matters introduced be fore the presbytery was the forma tion of a league to be known as "The D. I. Craig Church and Manse Erec tion League,” honoring the memory of the late Rev. D. I. Craig, D. D., of Reidsville, and providing funds for the purpose stated in its name. This matter was referred to a special cpm mittee which will present the matter at the adjourned meeting in Greens ooro. Before adjourning the presbytery by vote expressed its appreciation for the hospitality of the local people and authorized R. W. Scott, elder of the Hawfields church, near Mebane, rep resentative elected to attend the gen eral assembly, to convene May 19, at El Dorado, Ark., to present to the assembly a gavel made of timber grown on the orginal site of the Haw fields church. The Hawfields church is one of the oldest in the general assembly and has already provided Similar gavels for the use of the Orange presbytery and of the Synod of North Carolina.' Because of the associations, the pres-1 bytery authorised Mr. Scott to act in this capacity, especially since he is an officer in this church. The presbytery also heard with in terest of the plans to inaugurate Rev. B. R. Lacy, Jr., D. D-., as presi dent of Union Theological Seminary, in Richmond, Va., and appointed Rev. C. E. Hodgin, of the Westminister church, Greensboro, together with Rev. E. E. Gillespie, D. D., also of Greensboro, to attend and to convey to the Seminary the good wishes of j this presbytery. The particular items of business to come before the adjourned meeting i to be held June 21, at the Westmin ister church, Greensboro, will be to receive L. T. Edgerton, a student in the senior class of Union Seminary,! who will take up the pastorate of the Buffalo group in Lee county, sometime in May; to perfect the D. I. i Craig church and Manse Erection league, if the way be clear; and to take up any other matters of busi ness that may develop before that time.
