Col. Garrett Says Senator Reed
Should Be Democratic Nominee
Colonel Ruby D. Garrett, senior
member of the law firm of Garrett and
Ruark, of Kansas City, Mo., was in;
North Carolina the past week on a |
visit to relatives and friends. Col.!
Garrett is a son of the late Rev. John j
N. Garrett and Mrs. Garrett, who
now makes her home with~her sons,j
Brice and Vance Garrett, in Thomas- j
ville. He is also a brother of Mrs. J.
A. Holder, of AsheborO, Miss Vera
Garrett, of Pocahontas, Va., and Mrs.
George Isley, of Burlington. Col.
Garrett is a cousin of Major Wade H.
Phillips, head of the North Carolinaj
department of conservation and devel- i
opment. During the world war, Mr.1
Garrett was a colonel in the famous ]
Rainbow division.
Colonel Garrett is a firm supporter
of Senator James A Reed, of Missouri,
for the Democratic nomination for j
President. While in Asheboro, this
newspaper prevailed upon Col. Gar
rett to make a statement for publica
tion, setting forth his reasons why
Senator Reed would make a splendid
candidate on the Democratic ticket,
and, if elected, a good President. Col.
Garrett believes that Senator Reed,
due to his courage, his remarkable
fighting abilities, his keenness of
mind, his activities in uncovering cor
ruption in the Republcan party, is
the most feared man by the moneyed
interests in the country today. Col.
Garrett’s statement follows:
“Senator Reed is known throughout
the nation as a friend of the farmer.
One of the paramount issues in the
next campaign will be the question of
i legislative relief for the farmer. The
[farming center of the United States
is west of the Mississippi river, and
j is drifting west. President Coolidge,
j realizing that the central west will be
| the next political battleground, left
the timbered mountains of New Eng
land for a vacation among the rocky
peaks of South Dakota. The opinion
is growing that the man who can
win the vote of the farmers can win
the election. Mr. Reed has always
been close to the farmer, he under
stands his problems and is in sympa
thy with him.

daughter of E. C. Younts, of Climax,
who died Wednesday night of last
week in the Guilford county sanator

Bethlehem M. E. church by the pastor,'
Rev. A R. Bell. Miss Younts had
been a faithful and consistent mem
ber of Bethlehem church and Sunday
school. In addition to her father,

Mrs. Fuller Celebrate?
Her 87th Birthday Sunday
Mrs. Jtili» Fuller, of Fullers, cele
brated her 87th birthday last Sunday.
A number of relatives and friends
from Greensboro. Raleisrh, Winston
Salem. Fl<rh Point. Ashebore and
Thomasville were present. Mrs. Ful
ler is a most active woman for any
one of ber years and went out on the
lawn and (freeted all her relatives and
friends as they arrived. Delightful
eats were served. _
“In my opinion there is no man in
the political life of the nation who*
would so strongly appeal to the men
and women wno served in the war.
Senator Reed’s service to the soldier
began in July, 1916, when in a speech
in the Senate he advocated govern
ment aid for the dependents of the
men in the army and urged an in
crease in the soldiers pay and allow
ances. He favored every bill safe
guarding the rights of the men and
women of the service. This was true
before and during the war and has
been true since the war, and I believe
that the men and women who served,
and their families and their friends
would show their appreciation of the
work done by Senator Reed if given
an opportunity to work and vote for
him for President.
“Senator Reed has championed the
rights of the people of every race
and creed. No man in America has
made a more vigorous and effective
fight for freedom of speech and
against religious prejudice and intol
erance. For years one of his princi
pal supporters and friends has been
a prominent Jew. His settlement of
the Sapiro -Ford controversy will
tend to line up and solidify Jewish
support throughout the nation. Be
cause of his.fight against discrimi
nation against the American citizen
of alien birth, Senator Reed will be
popular with those of our people who
did not have the good fortune of being
bom in the United States.
“Election fraud and corruption in
high places will be an issue in the
coming campaign. Senator Reed
combines two qualities which espec
ially fit him to carry this issue to
the people. First of all, he is honest
and incorruptible. His bitterest en
emies have never made even a hint
against the integrity of Senator Reed,
| either as a man or a public official
; with a long record of service. Sec
j ond, Senator Reed is the greatest
| fighter on the American platform to
i day. Our people owe to him more
than to any other the discovery of

Caught *tfr Act Of
Breaking In Store
Caught By Randolph Officers Af
ter Man Had Been Trailed To
High Point.
J. W. McDowell, High Point white
man, was placed in jail in Asheboro
early Saturday morning on charge of
robbery. He was apprehended after
he had been caught in the act of at
tempting to* force an entry into the
Hill and Spencer store building in
Trinity township. McDowell fled up
on the approach of Deputy T. D. Hen
drix and T. S. Bouldin, but left his
car, and it was by means of the li
cense numbers on the car that these
men were able to trace McDowell and
to arrest him later in the night in
High Point. It appears that McDow
ell had succeeded in stealing a quan
tity of gas from the tanks in front
of the store before he was apprehend
ed. It is understood that he was out
under bond at the time of his arrest
for an offense committed in Guilford
county.
Mrs. W. T. Biles, 87, of Badin, was

Hearty Response
i To “Who’s Who”
Page In Courier
This newspaper and Mr. George 1
S. Jack, who had charge of the i
enterprise, are more than pleased
| with -the results of the “Who’s 1
j Who” in Asheboro page which was
I inserted in The Courier, for two
! consecutive weeks. Response to
this contest was most gratifying. ,
From the scores of replies re- j
ceived it was difficult for the 1
judges to pick the winner, but af- ]
i ter careful scrutiny of the answers <
1 the winner was finally selected.
; The name of the winner and the ]
correct answers may be found on 1
[ , page three of this issue. Whether i
• you won or lost, or whether you ]
sent in an answer, it would be ]
I well for you to check over the
answers and see how far wrong |
was your answer or your guess.
Some -of the answers received
showed familiarity with the thirty
firms who took port in the “Who’s |
Who” page, while many others in
dicated there was still a lot to be
| learned about the business houses
in Asheboro. At any rate, The j
| Courier and Mr. Jack are exceed- -
ingly grateful to the merchants ,
and business men who made the ,

Typhoid Clinics
To Be Held In
County In Aug.
One of the first acts of Dr.
George H. Sumner as Randolph
county health officer will be the
putting on in the county beginning
the first Tuesday in August a ty
phoid clinic. Dr. Sumner was in
Asheboro the latter part of last
week making arrangements for the
clinic. His itinerary will be pub
lished in an early issue of this

county with the service to be of
fered. It is planned that Dr. Sum

Saturation Point In
Autos Is Far Distant
The saturation point of automo
biles, says Arthur Brisbane, is about
as far off as ever. During the first
six months of 1927 General Motors
sold 840,481 cars, against 620,190 in
1926, or an increase, of several thous
and cars per month. Henry Ford fig
ures the country can absorb 2,000,000
new cars a year. Folks are looking
for a big automobile war this fall
when Ford puts his new car on the
market.

“Coolidge Prosperity” Is
Gradually Slowing Down
Friends of the Republican national
administration are said to be worry
ing over signs of the slowing down of
the so-called “Coolidge prosperity.”
In some sections of the country un
employment threatens and there is
surplus labor in nearly all of the
large cities. North Carolina seems to
be the least affected of all the States
in the union, although there is a sur
plus of common labor in some of the
larger cities in the State.

Miss., on Sunday, ran every negro
resident out of the corporate limits of
the town. Nobody was injured in the
forced migration. It started when a
negro insulted a white woman, and

Furnishinl Pay
Roll For Farmers
Local Creamery Paying Oat
About $1,800 Month To Farm
ers Of Randolph.
And Has Just Started
The Randolph Creamery is paying
out each month in creamery flwls
to farmers in Randolph county in 9m
neighborhood of from $1,800 to $2JMB
a month. This means that there lae
been established in As he boro wtimm
the past few months a business which
furnishes a payroll of approsiinateiir
$24,000 a year, a payroll which geen
to the farmers of the county. ’Cto
sidering the fact that the creamery is
still in its infancy and still has be
fore it tjie task of educating men
and more farmers to the keeping «E
dairy cattle, this is a remarkable
showing, and the wonder is what tte
payroll from this plant will be a m
few years hence.
The creamery has four trucks
which gather cream from the varirai
forms on the established routes. A
little is shipped in from outside tte
county, but this amount is negligible.
In all, approximately 6,000 pounds ef
cream are bought each month by ffaa
local creamery. And this means that
several thousand pounds of butter aim
being made each month by the cream
ery.
Already markets have been oblahe
ed for the butter which the creaaxey
makes in spite of the fact that ft
got started in hot weather when lean
butter is used than at any other time
of the year. It started, too, at a
time after which various colleges and
schools, which use a large amount
of butter, had already contracted tor
their annual supply and no more con
tracts would be made until tcurnrila
opening of school. It has been neces
sary to ship a small part of the
product of the creamery to northern
markets, but the larger part of the
output has been sold in North Cam
lina.
