Definite Dates Later Jurors For Special Terms Drawn Saturday By The County Board. Beginning sometime in October, dr*inlte date to be set later, Ran dolph county is to have two special | terms of Superior Court, one week of criminal and two weeks of civil. These special terms have been granted by Governor McLean, but the dates have not been definitely determined, nor has any certain judge been designated to preside. The term of criminal court last week disposed of few cases other than the 35 jail cases which were taken up first. All the cases tried were submissions, no case being contested to the finish.. It took some time, however, to hear the evidence in the casts submitted, and although court moved along swiftly, little head way was made toward clearing the docket. The commissioners In meeting Sat urday drew the following jurors for the term of criminal court: Asheboro: Claud Robbins. Brower: J. C. Hayes, Enoch (Jins 1 co. Coleridge: H. M. Gee, Rufus Brown, O.

Year after year real estate has been sold at public auction for non payment of taxes and the county has become the possessor of many acres of real estate. None of the tax liens have been foreclosed, however, and in many instances the same piece of property has been sold from year to year. At the meeting of - commissioners held Saturday, however, a move was made to secure title for the county of real estate auctioned off to the county at tax sales. On motion , of E. 6. Leach seconded by W. L. Ward the following resolu tion was passed: “The county attorney is hereby authorized and directed to take such action as is necessary to foreclose tax liens in all cases where land has been sold for taxes and bid in by the county.” Asheboro’s Brass, Band Progressing Nicely In Practice Will Soon Be Ready For Public Appearances—Has 22 Inter ested Members. Little has been said about the brass band which was organized in Ashe boro several weeks ago by several persons interested in music apd es pecially in band music. But the band has been practicing right along and, according to its instructor, is making most satisfactory progress. Lessons are taken twice each week under the instructor. Great interest is being manifested by the members of the band, some 22 in number, so much so that none ever miss the practice hours. Progress has been made to the point that the band is able to play several slow marches and it will not be long before Asheboro will have a brass band ready to play in public concerts. The members of the band have in vested quite a great deal of money in instruments and equipment. In fact the investment in musical instruments represents approximately $900, most of which has come from the pockets of the individual members. Donations were made to the band by the Cham ber of Commerce and the Merchants Association at the time of its organ isation and the monajr so received was used in helping pay for some of the larger and costlier instruments. Otherwise each member purchases and is the owner of the instrument which he plays, It is pointed out that while the Junior Order sponsored the organiza tion of the band that it can in no wise be classed as a strictly Junior Order band nor does the Junior coun cil desire that it be looked upon in that light. Not that the Junior Or der hasn't several of its members on the band and would be proud to claim it as its own, but that the Juniors and the members of the band want the organization to be considered an Ashe boro band and belonging to no one individual, organization or society. Revival At Ulah A union revival meeting will be started at the Central Falls Baptist 18th, at 2:30 p. m. Rev. D. I. Gamer, Rev. Mr. Lawrence and Rev. J. C. Clubb will have charge of the meet ing.

School Truck Ruling The county board of education in meeting last Saturday ruled that all of the six months schools in the coun ty should begin on Monday, October 10th. Another matter among the many of importance passed on was instructions issued to the attorney to the town board authorizing him to prdceed with the collection of all aci fa judgments now existing on the docket in the office of the Clerk of Court Complying with the school law, the board passed an order to the effect that all deputy sheriffs and police men are truant officers for the county and that their duty shall be to assist 1 in carrying out the provisions of the compulsory attendance law. All prin cipals and teachers in the county should report the non-attendance in their schools to the nearest officer. A fQrmer order transferring Cedar Square school to Trinity was made permanent and children from this dis trict will be transported by truck to Trinity. It was ruled by the board that in a district in which a truck operates that one and one-half miles from the build ing is the distance at which the truck will stop picking up children for transportation to school. In dis tricts where a track is operated and the entire school is not transported, i transportation will be furnished to high school pupils and for such other grades as may be designated by the County Board of Education, and in no case will a part of a grade be trans ported at the county’s expense and the other left in the district. For instance, where a small school is op j erated in connection with a central school the entire seventh grade may be transported or the sixth grade, but 1 a part of the sixth or a part of the seventh will not be transported and I the other part left.
