More Work Is Let
On Highway No. 75
Two Projects, One In Iredell And
The Other In Davie, Are
Contracted.
Progress In Randolph
State highway 75 scored heavily ill
the highway lyings at Raleigh Tues
day when two projects on this east
and west route were contracted to
the lowest bidder. One of the projects
was 5.64 miles of grading and struc
tures from Tumersburg, Iredell coun
ty, to the Davie county line, at a cost
for the grading of $40,836.80, and
$24,589.50 for the structures. The
other was 9.33 miles of grading and
structure from Mocksville to Iredell
county line to Hobbs-Peabody for
$5,925.
It would be well to note in connec
tion with these further improvements
on Route 75 that the work on that
part of it from Asheboro to the Da
vidson county line is going along at
a rapid rate. Much of the roadway is
practically completed. The route has
been- laid off through Asheboro and a
part of it graded. Asheboro folks
hear, however, that part of the road
through Asheboro after it leaves the
end of the Lard surface on Salisbury
street may be hard surfaced through
the corporate limits of the town and
v ' ps for a longer distance.
Of Township
Assessors On The Job'
County Supervisor Hal M. Worth
has succeeded in getting the follow
ing board of assessors to serve with
the list taker, Mr. J. T. Lambert, in
valuing the real estate in Asheboro
township: E. T. Walton, W. F. Red
ding, J. C. Pearce and W. H. Muring.
These men were selected after a con
ference yesterday morning when it
was pointed out that it was absolute
ly essential that a board of assessors^
should serve in the town to assist in
valuing property. None of the first
board selected would serve at the time
of appointment.
Walter Gregabn Resigns
Walter Gregson, who has been book
keeper in the town office for the past
approximately two years, has resigned
his position effective June 1st. Mr.
Gregson will probably return to Louis
iana in the late summer. No success
or has been elected yet to take -the
post which will be vacated by Mr.
Gregson.
No June Term Federal
Court In Greensboro
There will be no term of United
States court in Greensboro in June
nor anywhere else in the Middle
North Carolina district for the rea
son that the deficincy bill providing
funds for expenses of such terms of

gress due to a filbuster by Senator
Reed of Pennsylvania. There will be
no federal term in Greensboro be

and that ha had no accomplices. This
part of his story* however, ill scouted
by the authorities. Kennedy was

list Takers Have
An Important Job
No Time For Big: Increases In
Values But To Get AH Prop
erty On Books.
Adjustments Needed
Farm Census In Addition To
Listing Of Property.
Listing of property is now in full
swing in the county. List takers and
assessors are on the job in every
township in an effort to complete the
work during the month of May. This
' is revaluation year and in addition to
I listing all personal property, the list
| takers are confronted with the job of
'getting the real estate on the tax
books qn an equitable basis.
Each list taker in the rural sections
has also to prepare the farm census.
A farm census has been made by list
takers during the past several years
and the people generally have be
come acquainted with this phase of
the work. When it was first intro
duced in the county there was a feel
ing in some places that the census had
something to do with the valuation
placed on property. This is entirely
in error since the farm census . has
absolutely nothing to do with valu
ation of property. It is for valuable
information for the agricultural de
partments of the State and nation.
The list takers and assessors of the
county have an important job before
them. It is no time for general in
crease in the valuation of real estate
in the . rural sections and this is not
anticipated. There will be, of course,
several adjustments of farm values
which may or may not in the end in
crease the total of property valuation
in the county. It is, however, a time
to put all the taxable personal prop
erty on the tax’books and to get the
property of the habitual tax dodgers
down for taxation.
It is perfectly clear that there is a
lot of business property in Asheboro
assessed and on the tax books at an
inadequate figure. This is a. matter
which should be remedied. It will be
'recalled that after the revaluation in
this county a general cut of 30 per
cent was made in real estate values.
This cut in some instances brought
the assessed value down below the
former figure. Forsyth, Guilford and
Moore did not make this general cut
and consequently had a larger per
centage bf increase in values than
Randolph. . -
Robert Fuller, Jr., Member
Kyke Ky&er’s jl* C. Cheerios
Probably few of the Randolph boun
ty people who witnessed the Caro
lina-Virginia baseball game in Greens
boro Saturday knew that their county
had a part in the game. True, there
was no Randolph county boy on the
team which sent Virginia back to
Charlottesville in defeat, but one of
Kyke Kyser’s famous 250 picked
Cheerios, who formed the picturesque
“U. N. C.” in the grandstand and
cheered the team to victory was
Robert Fuller, Jr., freshman at the
■University this year, and son of Mr.
and Mrs. R. W. Fuller, of Farmer.
/“Bob” is a six-footer in height and
possesses a voice closely related to a
fog horn. The .picture of the Cheer
ios carried in the Greensboro News
shows young Fuller very plainly and
also leaves the impression that the
Randolph boy is by no means the
least of the 250.
Brings Prisoners Back
Three men arrested bf Deputy
Sheriff R. E. Routh on charge of
driving a car while under the influ
ence of liquor made their escape April
23rd while Routh had them in the
waiting room at the county jail. Mr.
Routh, however, got on the job im
mediately and several days later
found them in the Revolution Cotton
mill at Greensboro where he re-arrept
ed them and brought them back to
Asheboro for preliminary hearing.
Two of them were bound over to court
on the charge against them.

District Agent Lands
Work Of Mr. Sheffield
District Fann Agent E. S. Millsaps,
of Statesville, a few days ago, accord
ing to the Lexington Dispatch, paid
quite a compliment to C. A. Sheffield,
native Randolphian who is county
agent for Davidson. The Dispatch
tells it like this:
While in the city, .Mr. Millsaps
stated to the Dispatch that Mr. Shef
field is doing remarkably fine work
hi Davidson county, and that if he had
done nothing else but conduct thehog
feeding demonstration of the past
year or so he would be entitled to
high honor among demonstration
workers. The hog feeding work in
this county has been the best in the
entire Piedmont, said . Mr. Millsaps,
and for this he gave chief credit to
Mr. Sheffield. ' _ :

Awaiting Complaint
* Summons has been served on the
individual members of the county
board of commissioners in the civil
action brought by T. D. Cox and C. H.
Cox, doing business as Interstate Con
struction Company, against Randolph
officials in which; it is charged that
a contract with fhe construction com
pany made with tge old board of com
missioners,1tns bibken by the new.
Copy of the complaint which was
filed in Quilford Superior Court has
not been received by the county at
torneys. The only idea local people
have of the* charge is through infor
mation contained in a news item at.
Ijhe time'of the filing of the com
plaint some ten days ago. The Inter
state Construction Company alleges
it lost $4,166 by reason of abrogation
of a contract made with the old board
to build a road from Carter’s Cross
Roads to Mechanic.
The next move will be up to the
county attorneys who will, of course,
take no attieninthe matter until a

Making Ready For
Big Fair This Fall
Extensive Preparations Are Be
ing Made By The Fair Man* ~
agement For Event.
Many New Features
As has been previously announced
by the officers of the fair association
the annual Randolph County Fair
will be held this fall September 27 to
October 1, inclusive. Extensive prep
arations are under way by the fair
management and the various depart
ment managers to make the fair this
year even larger than that of last
year.
The management has obtained the
Miller Brothers show for the midway.
It is anticipated that this will insure
the midway’s being at least half as
large again as last year. County
Agent Millsaps is planning to double
the space allotted for poultry exhib
its. Randolph is one of the leading
counties, if not at the head of the
list, in poultry raising in the State
and it is fitting that a larger space be
given over to poultry exhibits.
The increase in dairying in the
county foretells an increase in the
number and quality of the cattle ex
hibits at the fjir this fall, and other
livestock is expected to share in the
better and larger exhibit.
General farm products, if this
year chances to be a good crop year,
will,exceed the exhibits of last year.
And individual farm exhibits will be
at the fair in larger number than in
the past. Many farmers have already
expressed their intention of making a
general farm exhibit to compete for
the prizes offered.
The “Made in Randolph” exhibi
tion, first staged last year, and easily
the feature of the fair, will be held
again this year. And, profiting by the
experience of last year, it goes with
out saying that this feature of the
fair will be even mere successful than
tha( of last year.
Fireworks will be another added
feature of the fair this fall. Other
features will be anded,apd an effort
made to make the fair even more at
tractive than the one last year. To
do this those in charge realise they
have a job cut out for them.
All over the county the farmers are
making preparations to exhibit some
thing at tiw fair this fall. Town
folks and school folks likewise have
the fair in mind and are planning to
take a more active part than in pre
vious years. Catalogs will soon be
out so that those who desire to make
entries will know to what end they
are working. There will be, however,
no radical- changes from last year in
this regard.. . fpg.' - .

New Administration
Makes Heavy Cut In
Town’s Water Rate
When yon go to pay your water
bill next month you will notice
that the item "Sewer Tax” has
been taken off. This sewer tax is
10 per cent of the water bill, or a
minimum of 25 cents. This means
that the large number of water
customers buying water for private
residences will have bills reduced
by 25 cents. Those who use water in
25 cents. Those who use water in
excess of $2.50 per month will ob
tain a 10 per cent reduction on
their water bills. This means, for
instance, if the amount of the wa
ter bill is $3.00, the reduction will
be 30 cents, making the net cost
$2.70. Taking 25 cents off each
bill for private residences will mean
that the bill has been reduced by
more than 10 per cent.
This reduction was ordered by
the town commissioners at a re
cent meeting of the board, and will
meet with genuine approval on the
part of the water customers of the
town.

of the war, so would the taxpayer pay

the past few years.
Mr. Craven emphasized that an
community could have an eeon
