$2.00 A YEAR
I’g Tex
Rate Fixed At $1
On $100 Valuation
y
sed At Meeting Of Board Of
Commissioners In Regular
Meeting Monday.
Budget Is Slashed
_ Order To Make Anticipated
Revenue And Expense Meet.
Randolph county’s tax rate
for the current fiscal year was
Infixed Monday by the board of
commissioners at $1.00 on the
$100 valuation, the same rate
as prevailed last year. This
rate is based on a valuation of
$27,000,000 and is calculated to
produce enough revenue to take
care of the budget estimate of
expenditures for the current
year. The rate to be levied is
made up as follows: For
schools, 41; general purposes,
14; roads, 19; bond interest and
sinking fund, 26; total $1.00.
To enable the levying of this rate it
;was necessary for the commissioners
to slash the budget estimates again
and again. It was also helped along
by the definite promise of a return to
the county of a part of the. $185,000
loaned some few years ago to the
State Highway Commission for the
construction of No. 90 from Asheboro
to Ramseur. Included in the cut
made by the board Monday was $15,
000 on the estimate made for expen
ditures on roads.
The definite announcement of a
tax rate of $1.00 will be received with
a feeling, more or less of relief by the
people of the county. Those who com
pared the budget estimate of $335,
518.91 needed to run the county with
a valuation of $27,000,000 could see
little chance of anything save an in
crease in the rate. A rate of approx
imately $1.25 was the expectation.
Aside from fixing the tax rate and
revising die budget estimates the
commissioners attended to several
matters of routine relative the county
at the meeting Monday. Several tax
releases were made in instances where
receipts and canceled checks showed
that tax charged on the books to sev
eral individuals had already been
paid and no credit given on the tax
books. A few road matters of minor
importance were looked into, and re
ports received on investigations made
on alleged inequalities of assessment
of property.
Messrs. James Burns and J. T. Lew
alien have purchased from the Mc
Alister estate the lot on North Fay
etteville street between the Randolph
Motor Company and the Red Star
Service station. It is understood that
Messrs. Bums and Lewallen will erect
handsome quarters for their automo
bile business. They sell Hudson, Es
sex and Chrysler cars. They were
formerly owners of Red Star Service
station but have recently sold to
Messrs. Flynt and Earl Cox.
D. C. Stanback Dead
David C. Stanback, 71, native of
Richmond county, formerly a cotton
buyer, but for the past several years
interested in mining, died suddenly
Monday noon at the home of his sis
ter, Mrs. W. L. Scales, in Rocking
ham. Mr. Stanback was recently in
Asheboro displaying samples of as
bestos which he had gotten from a
rlaim he had Hied in Stokes county.

A Motor Meter Of
An Unusual Design
Gets Man In Dutch
A motor meter of unusual design
led to the recover of a stolen Ford
roadster Monday and to the arrest of
one man, who is suspected pf having
latolen the car or of receiving stolen
‘property. On August 1st a Ford
roadster belonging to S. L. Lambeth,
who lives five miles west of Thomas
ville, was stolen from the street in
front of the Broadway theatre in
High Point on the night of August
1st The car was plentifully equipped
with, extras. Among the bespangle
ments was a motor meter of unusual
appearance, and with which the owner
of the car was so delighted that he
had made a picture of it It was this
picture mid that of the Ford together
with all its accessories that led to the
identification of the stolen property
found by Randolph deputy sheriffs
Monday night The Ford stripped of
practically every part which could be
removed was found five miles east of
Gray's Chapel by R. E. Routh, ac
companied by Mack Lewallen
and Fletcher Humble, The parts,
identified as having come from the
stripped ear, were found on a Ford
A Modern Bakery
Will Be The Next
Industry For Town
To Be Established By J. R.
Parks And Located In Hed
rick Building.
Asheboro’s latest industry is to be
a modem bakery. It will be owned
and operated by J. B. Parks, who
comes to Asheboro from Melbourne,
Florida, where he has operated a
bakery for the past several years/-Its
location will be in the Hedrick build
ling next to the postoffice on South
Fayetteville street recently vacated
by the Kivett Electric Company. Ma
chinery and equipment for the busi
ness have been ordered out and it is
planned to have the building ready
for its installation upon arrival.
Mr. Parks has been in Asheboro for
the past several weeks in an effort to
get located in the bakery business. He
felt that Asheboro was an excellent
location for such an enterprise. In
fact, the place has been under obser
vation by others for the past several
months as a possible location for a
modem bakery. Mr. Parks is no
stranger to the people of Asheboro
and Randolph county, although he has
been a resident of Florida for some
time. He is the youngest son of the
late William Parks, of Union town
ship, Randolph county. He made
his Rome in the county practically all
his life until he went to Florida.
Mr. Parks, was .with the first bak
ery which was established in Ashe
boro. Later he went to Florida and
secured employment in a bakery
there. He rose to the position of
manager of the bakery, later buying
out the business and operating it for
some time as sole owner and proprie
tor. He still kept his native county
in mind, however, and has for some
time wanted to come back to Ashe
boro. His decision to establish the
bakery here instead of in other towns
which he had in mind is the fulfill
ment of this desire.
As soon as convenient Mr. Parks
will move his family from their Flor
ida home to Asheboro.

Health Officer
Has Good Report
Activities Of The Month Many
And Varied, Including The
Typhoid Clinics.
Cost Reasonable
The county board of health expend
ed for health work during the past
month a total of $438.18, which in
cluded the salary-and expenses of the
health officer, Dr. G. H. Sumner, cost
of medicines, and various other items
needed in carrying on the work in
Randolph. But since this expenditure
is well within the estimate of the cost
of this department and since the work
which the health officer has done dur
ing the month if it had been measur
ed in dollars and cents according to
ordinary scale of fees and charges
would have reached $1,680.35, the
board of health and Dr. Sumner are
all justly proud. In other words, the
county health officer has produced
$2.83 worth of work for every dollar
that has been expended in his de
partment during the first month - of
its existence.
And among the things which Dr.
Sumner has done during the past
month has been the vaccination of
2107 persons against typhoid and 425
against diphtheria. The ordinary
charge for typhoid vaccination is
fifty cents, so the health officer did
work in this instance valued at $1,
053.50. Diphtheria is charged for at
the rate of 75 cents per person and
the money value of this work alone
was $318.75. But there was no
charge to those who were vaccinated
save the infinitesimal part which is
taken from the tax money they pay in
to the county and used for the main
tenance of the health department.
In addition to the vaccination of a
large number of people which was ac
complished by holding clinics in
various parts of the county, Dr. Sum
ner attended to the quarantining by
mail of 15 cases of contagious dis
eases, only one of which was measles,
four diphtheria and five smallpox. He
attended personally five cases in
which the patients had to be quaran
tined.
Other work done during the month
included fifteen visits to attend
patients in jail, seven to the county
home and several special examina
tions of prisoners and also children
for work in industries., Various other
duties pertaining to the work were
performed by Dr. Sumner, all of
which Would be rather tedious to re
late in detail

Change Name Of Local
Methodist Episcopal Church
At a meeting of the official board
of the Methodist Episcopal church,
South* Asheboro, on April 15th it was
iedded that the church should be
mown as the First Methodist Episco
pal Church, South. It was discussed
thoroughly at the time of the decision.
Kt a meeting of the board a week ago
It was discussed again and confirmed,
rhey felt that the name agreed upon
was a fitting one since this was not

church, but the first established church
in Asheboro.

Move To Correct .
Physical Defects
In School Children
The faculty members of the
Asheboro graded school have de
termined that a large percent
age of poor scholarship can be
eliminated if better health con
ditions prevail in the pupils of
the school. Therefore they are
taking steps to correct as many
physical defects as possible in
the pupils of school.
The local dentists have been
kind enough to donate their
services for examining the teeth
of the pupils of the entire
school.
The Health Department of
the Woman’s Club has volun
teered their services in aiding
in this work. The work will
commence next Mop day and con
tinue until completed- When
the examinations have been
completed duplicates of the re
sults will be sent to the par
ents with the request that this
trouble be remedied St once.
This work is being sponsored
by coach George D. White in

Injuries Fatal To
Mrs. Charfes Odom
Died Tuesday Noon- From In
juries Sustained Sunday Night
In Auto Wreck.
Funeral At Big Oak
Mrs. Charles Odom, laged about 25
years, died shortly after the noon
hour Tuesday in Memorial hospital,
Asheboro, from the effete of injuries
sustained about the head and face in
an automobile accident Sunday even
ing about two miles south of Ulah
on Highway 70. The body was taken
to the home of her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Allen Graves, 'Who live below
Seagrove, in the upper edge of Mont
gomery county, Tuesday afternoon,
and the funeral will be held some
time today at Big Oak church, Mont
gomery county. »*|
The accident happened-shortly af
ter dark Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Odom
together with their, six-year-old son
in a Ford coupe were burning to
High Point} where tlyjy made their
home, on return froni&^nt to rela
tives near Seagrove, WPStlom also
being a native of the Seagrove com
munity. About two miles below Ulah
they came upon a-touring car occupied
by several negroes parked by the side
of the road. The Ford coupe, the
driver according to reports blinded by
the lights of a car approaching, did
not see the parked car and drove his
Ford into it. The parked car was
slightly damaged while the Ford was
almost completely wrecked. Mrs.
Odom was knocked unconscious by the
impact and bits of broken glass and
wood were driven into her face and
neck. Her skull was fractured. The
child suffered a broken shoulder,
while Mr. Odom was unhurt save for
a few scratches and bruises. Mrs
Odom and the child were brought to
the local hospital immediately for
treatment. According to statements
made by witnesses the parked car had
no lights burning. There seems to be
Some difference of opinion as to
whether the car was parked on or off
the concrete, although it is agreed
that it was on the right side of the
road.

Randolph Creamery Reaching Out Into
Other Counties For Quantities Of Cream
Is Getting As Much From Two Points In Another County As En
tire County Of Randolph Furnishes At This Time
Butter Made Is Excellent.
The Randolph Creamery, Inc., pro
duces the highest quality butjter made
by North Carolina creamenes save
one, according to recent reports. This
makes the local creamery supporters
proud of the achievement in which
many have placed their money and
many more their good wishes and
faith. As a result of the production
of this high grade butter, the product
of the local creamery is in great de
mand. In fact, the demand for the
butter made by the creamery has
grown so in recent months that the
creamery management has had to go
outside the county to obtain butterfat.
During the past few weeks the local
creamery has lined up enough cream
from two points in another county to
produce from one thousand pounds to
twelve hundred pounds of butter per
week. This means that two points
from an outside county will furnish
to the local creamery as much butter
fat as the fanners of the entire
county of Randolph send to the cream
ery. This is a good and conclusive
answer to those who have said that
the local creamery could be glutted
with butterfat, and that by the time
the farmers in the county got started
in the dairy business, there would be
no market for the product, ~
It is no trouble for the local cream
ery to obtain, the butterfat. Other

Court Disposes
Of Several Cases
Gets Down To Business After
Judge’s Charge And Plunges
Right Into Docket.
Jail Cases First
The United States of America is the
greatest nation on the face of the
earth, Judge T. B. Finley, of North
Wilkesboro, told the grand jury in
his charge in Superior Court here
Monday morning, but at the same
time we are the greatest criminal
nation. There has been an alarming
increase in crime in the United States
during the past few years until the
statistical figures on crime in the
United States present some appalling
totals and startling conditions of af
fairs. In no other civilized nation is
there so great disrespect and violation
of the law.
What, then, is the cause of this
lack of observance of the laws of
the land? Judge Finley said that it
had been laid at the doors of the re
action following the war; that this
and that had been assigned as the
reason for the big increase in law
lessness. However, on oUb thing
there was now almost an agreement,
and that is that the trouble generally
begins in the home. Rear -the child
in the respect for obedience to par
ent, teacher and law and there will be
less of crime, said the judge. The cit
izen is made or lost in the home. If
the child has no respect for its par
ents and will not obey in the home,
then it cannot be expected that this
child will grow into a law-abiding cit
izen.
The finest and most efficient offi
cers and courts in the land cannot en
force the laws as they should be nor
can they stem the tide of the crime
wave which is sweeping tne country
unless the attitude of the citizenship
of the country is for enforcement of
the laws.
Speaking directly to the jurors
with reference to their duties and
obligations, Judge Finley stressed the
importance of carrying out to the
letter the oath they had sworn. He
reminded them that they were in a
way executors and judges of the law
at once. Their duties were to inves
tigate and indict. Their duty aside

not to be despised.
The amount of butterfat collected
by the creamery routes in Randolph
is increasing every week. At prac
tically every churning at the cream
ery the output has increased. There
are, of course, dairy farmers in the
county who do not send their butter
fat to the local creamery. Outside
creameries have long had routes in
the county and have regular patrons.
Just so, the Randolph creamery is
drawing business from other counties.
The increase in the amount of but
terfat produced in the county, of
course, is something which cannot
grow by leaps and bounds. The
growth of dairying will be a steady
growth and a permanent growth.
Since last spring more than 100 grade
and purebred milk cows have been
placed on farms in the county. The
number will probably reach 150. This
does not count the purebred bulls of
which there have been several. Doz
ens of farmers have been marketing
a little butterfat during the past sev
eral months who have not done so be
fore in their lives. And dozens have
added to their herds and are market
ing more butterfat than they have
been in years past. So the growth
continues steadily and each day the
farmers of the county are profiting
by their foresight in adding a few
more cows to their herds or market
ing more butterfat - from the cows
which they have already.
Rev. J. E. Pritchard
Calls On Youth To
* Search For Wisdom
God Always Rewards Diligent
Search For Wisdom And
Knowledge Says Preacher.
Rev. J. E. Pritchard, pastor of the
local Methodist Protestant church,
preached an educational sermon Sun
day morning which was indeed fitting,
coming as it did the day before the
opening of the city school. He chose
for his subject the “Search for Wis
dom,” using the text, Proverbs 2:3, 4,
6.—"If thou criest after knowledge,
and liftest up the voice for understand
ing; If thou seekest her as silver, and
searchest for her as for hid treasures;
Then shalt thou understand the fear
of the Lord and find the knowledge of
God.”
The speaker said in the beginning
of his sermon that God always rewards
a diligent search for wisdom and that
the worth while things in life are
those that must be sought. He con
trasted the educational opportunities
which the young people of today have
against those which many of his hear
ers had when the one room school
house was in use and a distance of
several miles had to be walked in order
to secure an education. He exhorted
the young people to be diligent,in the
search for knowledge and wisdom and
gave for example the search for gold
and silver hidden in the earth but
werth seeking for.
In answer to the question, “Where
shall we seek knowledge?” Mr. Pritch
ard said, first in the school room,
where every opportunity is offered,
especially stressing the association
with capable teachers. He strongly
advocated reading good books, men
tioning some whose authors he knew
personally.
Mr. Pritchard besought the parents
to cooperate with the school teachers.
He said home conditions could be seen
through the lives and actions of the
children. He spoke of community re
sponsibility to the school. In closing,
Mr. Pritchard invited Mr. Hilker, the
superintendent of the city schools, to
come forward and make any announce
ments he cared to make. To this Mr.
Hilker responded and spoke of the
splendid attitude of the teachers and
the school board which was already
manifest. Mr. Hilker stated that
health would be especially emphasized
throughout the school this year and
he predicted one of the best schools
the town had ever had and that this
would come about through the efforts
and cooperation of all the citizenship
of the town with the school,

Brookshire Captures Men
And Car After Chose
Eldridge Barnes and Frank Jointer
traveling in a Hudson coach gave
Deputy T. A. Brookshire a lively race
Monday on the highway near Worth
ville with the deputy sheriff coming
out as winner. Brookshire found a
thousand pounds of sugar in the car
together with a quantity of yeast. The
n\en could not give a satisfactory ex
planation of these materials which
are oftimes the main ingredients used
to produce the anti-Volstead juice and
so the men and the car were brought
in to Asheboro. It was found that
the car was especially equipped to
haul liquor with the addition of a
false bottom to the bed and many
other smaller ingenious hiding places.
Jointer and Barnes, if these be their
names, were uncertain as to their
place of residence, so the deputy gave
them a room in the county jail. They
furnished bond in the amount of $500
through a bonding company shortly
afterwards, however, and are now on
the outside.

Of City Schools
i Total Of 795 Enrolled First Day,

161 In High School.
An Improved System
Is Offered li Instruction b
Various Departments.
The Asheboro school opened Mon
day, September 5th, and everything;
points toward a very successful job;
Although the enrollment at pwt
includes nowhere near all that «■
enroll, nevertheless the report seem
very encouraging. For the first tm
days of school we have had the fal
lowing enrollment in the elementary
and grammar grade departments:
First grade, 118; second grade, MB;
third grade, 78; fourth grade, 1M;
fifth grade, 88; sixth grade, 108;
seventh grade, 43; total for elemen
tary 639. For the high school ww
have had the following enrollment:
Eighth grade, 50; ninth grade, 51;
tenth grade, 37; eleventh grade, 24;
total for high school, 162. Grand total
for high school and elementary 795.
Among the improvements which
have been introduced in the high,
school system for the year is the use
of the departmental system of in
struction. This allows each teacher a
definite room in which to teach her
specialized subjects, which provide*
the additional convenience of having
all of the necessary facilities for
carrying on class-room procedure
most effectively. To illustrate* a
history teacher will be provided with
maps, globes, charts, magazines, etc.
in her room, thus avoiding the prob
lem of carrying these materials from
room to room each day. The same
plan is carried out ip each of the
other departments. Another im
provement is that of so planning the
high school schedule as to allow the
library to be used more extensively
for study periods with at least twe
teachers supervising such study. Mr.
Jesse P. Burton is principal of the
high school for this year and has
mapped out a splendidly constructed
program.
Mr. George D. White science teach
er and athletic coach, is also taking
hold of the work in good style. He hi
sponsoring the school health program .
which will be carried out next week
in its preliminary steps. Athletic
prospects for this year also look goad.
For several years the school has bad
