Clarence Professed saving faith in Jesus Christ Seventh Annual Randolph County Fair Opens With Big Attendance The seventh annual Randolph Coun ty Fair opened yesterday morning with the largest attendance in the history of the local fair association. The weather which threatened a shower in the early hours of the morning cleared away and before the gates of the fair grounds had closed last night there had passed through the turn-stiles n record-breaking crowd for a gathering in Randolph. Yesterday was Educational Day and the school children from various parts of the county, many coming in school trucks, helped to fill every available space in the exhibit buildings and around about the midway. And this fine gathering of Randolph county citizenship found to meet its curious gaze the finest fair ever seen in the county. Never before have the exhibits been larger, better and more varied. Exclamations of delight and wonder were the order of the day among fair visitors yesterday. The folks knew, of course, that crops were fine in the county, that manufactur ing had increased during the year within the confines of the county, that Randolph is fast becoming the Guern sey cattle county of the State, and was cognizant of many other phases | of constructive progress within the county’s area. But it was not ex pected that all this would be grouped together in a panoramic view, as it were, at the fair. Yet it was there. People Return Thanks After having viewed the exhibits spread out before them and after realizing in measure that for which they should be duly thankful, the people of the county were ready in spirit to join in the thanksgiving ser vice which was held in the main ex hibit building at 11:30 o’clock yes terday morning. The Asheboro Min isterial Association some time ago suggested to the fair management that it would be fitting at this time for the people of the county, repre sentative of every walk of life and Teachers Hold An Interesting Meet Hear Addresses By School Workers And Outline Of Health Program, Much business pertinent to the school work of the county was'tftna aciea »acunia^«iormngr at a meeting of public school teachers in the court house in Asheboro. Prof. D. M Weatherly, former clerk of the court veteran teacher who gets back into the harness again this year as head of the Gray’s Chapel school, delivered the opening address. His remarks were, as usual, to the point and full of interest for the teachers. He was followed by County Superintendent T. Fletcher Bulla, who spoke on teachers training. Dr. Russell Grunnman, of the Ex tension Department, University of North Carolina, then spoke on exten sion work and at the conclusion of his remarks organized two extension classes. These classes will meet twice each week on Friday afternoon and evening and will be taught by a rep resentative from the University. Dr. George H. Sumner, County Health Officer, then outlined his program of work as it affected the schools for the year. He announced that beginning October 30th moving pictures relating to the improvement of health and sanitary conditions would be shown in the various schools. He spoke also of the examination of school children during the year. Dr. Sumner during the day had given each of the teachers a physical exam ination and had found that the gen eral health of the teachers was good. Each teacher in the public schools is now required to take a physical ex amination and to get a health cer tificate. A. I. Farree, president of the Ran dolph County Fair Association, spoke for a few moments with reference to Educational Day at the fair and ex tended an invitation to the teachers to attend and to bring with them all school children who desired to come, all to be admitted free on Educational Day. Short talks were made by others during the course of the meeting. Supplies of various kinds were dis tributed by the County Superintendent and advice in general given with ref erence to school supplies and their relation to the work which will begin with the opening of the public schools on October 10th.

Walter Ridge and sister, Miss Ger* vocation, to return thanks for the bounteous crops, health and the many other blessings of which they had been benificiary during the year. The suggestion met with immediate favor. Por a short time at the appointed hour all activity on the fair grounds ceased for a few minutes while, with Rev. J. E. Pritchard as master of ceremonies, an appropriate program of thanksgiving was carried out. Rudd Newsome, formerly of Union town ship, Randolph county, but now a res ident of Lexington, led in the singing of a number of hymns of thanksgiv ing. The hundreds attending the services joined in the songs with fer vor. Rev. W. A. Elam, of Ramseur, read a thanksgiving Psalm and Revs. G. W. Clay, of Farmer, and S. M. Penh, of Sophia, led in prayer. Prof. P. E. Lindley, Dean of High Point College, was the speaker on the occasion. He congratulated the people of the county on the fact that they were willing to include a thanks giving service in a Fair program. He said that no class of people could realize more what the providence of God meant, or should be more grate ful than the producers, such as those about him who had brought their best to the Fair. He spoke also of the history of the county, naming over a list of the illustrious sons of Randolph, including Governor Worth, Herman Husbands and others, whose lives and deeds have made pages of history not only for the county but for the State as well. He touched brief ly on the educational advantages of the county, especially emphasizing the present school system and told of the great work done in Randolph and in the State by Old Trinity Col lege before it was moved to Durham at which place its work has been en larged and extended until now it is one of the greatest universities in the country. Mention was made also (Please turn to page 4) Opossum Season Opens November 1 State Law Says Oct. 1, But County Law Puts Opening Day 30 Days Later. Reference may be had to last week’e dssae <jf,Jw- newspaper. Jot dates of open seasons for game in Randolph county and also for other facts concerning regulations concern ing hunting. There seems to be some confusion with regards to dates of open seasons. The fact is dates of some of the open seasons are not the same for Randolph county as for the rest of the State. This comes about from the fact that at the last session of the general assembly a game law for the county was passed. Direct reference, is made to the open season for opossums, minks and similar fur bearing animals. The State law has the open season from October 1st to January 31st. The county law has the open season for Randolph from No vember 1st to January 31st, or the open season for Randolph one month later than for other counties in the State. Section 10 of the Randolph County Game Law reads thusly: “It shall be unlawful to hunt with dog or gun or to trap, kill or destroy any fur-bearing animal in Randolph county between the fist day of Feb ruary and the first day of November of each year, provided it shall be law ful for any person to kill a fur-bear ing animal on his own premises when found in the act of killing fowls or doing other damage.” This means that those who have been in the habit of putting the hounds after the ’possum the first cool night of the fall will have to keep the dogs at home for another month, or until the first of November. Those who hunt the opossum for the fur will not be inconvenienced in the least nor lose anything from the late ness of the open season. Furs from opossums, muskrats, minks and other fur-bearing animals which exist in Randolph are not good until the weather turns cold. This, of course, is a general fact and is not applicable alone to game.in Randolph.

Several Are Arrested Eight persons, three men, two wo men and three children, were injured Monday night about 9:80 o’clock in an automobile-truck wreck on High way 77 about one mile north of Sophia. The injured are Duffy B. Benson, Joe Ward, Edward Loving, Mrs. Walter Barton, Miss Ruth Hicks, and Virginia Barton, 8, Walter Bar ton, 4, and Ernest Barton, 2, all chil dren of Mrs. Walter Barton, all of High Point. The eight-year-old girl was the worst hurt of the children, receiving a dislocated arm and bad cuts on the face. Loving was the worst hurt of the others and is in Guilford General hospital, High Point. All the others were treated at the hospital and returned to their homes. Baxter McNeill, another occupant of the car in which all the others were riding, was not hurt. The accident happened when the Chrysler 70 sedan, driven by Benson, and occupied by the others named above, coming down 77 at a terrific rate of speed, according to witnesses of the accident, struck a Ford truck loaded with furniture and standing on the right of the highway and off the hard surface on the sand-clay abut ments of the road. The driver of the truck, Rufus Yow, of Worthville, and others with him were not in the truck at the time it was struck by the Chrysler, but were standing some dis tance away engaged in conversation. The truck was loaded with furniture belonging to Mr. Yow’s brother and which was being moved from High Point to Wilmington by Mr. Yow. When the Chrysler struck the truck both the car and the truck were prac tically demolished. Furniture was strewn along the highway for seven ty-five feet or mores The truck was broken to pieces and the Chrysler se dan was a complete wreck and strewn all over the highway together with the occupants. Ambulances were called from High Point and the injured rushed to the Guilford General hospital. Randolph county officers were no tified and immediately went to the scene of the wreck. Warrants were sworn out charging reckless driving, operating a car while under the in fluence of w'Mskey ai\d for transport ing whisky against Baxter McNeill, Duffy B. Benson, Edward Loving, Mrs. Walter Barton, Miss Ruth Hicks and Joe Ward by Randolph officers, who went to High Point Tuesday for the purpose of making the arrests. High Point police officers assisted in taking those wanted in charge. Sever al of those arrested already have po lice records in the Furniture City, ac cording to information reaching Ashe boro. This is quite the worst wreck that has occurred on the highways in Ran dolph county in some time and the wonder is by those who saw the wreck after it happened that all the occupants of the Chrysler were not killed. Davidson Farmers Using Large Quantities Lime According to County Agent Shef field, Davidson county fanners are unloading cars of lime from almost all railroad points in the county. They are beginning to see, says Sheffield, that lime is essential to a permanent system of farming, not as a fertilizer for grain crops, but to correct soil acidity and to bring about a more fa vorable condition for the. growth of crops in general. Foresees North Carolina Largest Producer Cyanite North Carolina in ten years will be the biggest producer in the country of cyanite, feldspar and kayolin in the United States, is the opinion of Dr. G. A. Boyle, professor of ceramic engi neering University of Ohio, who has just completed a survey of cyanite deposits in western North Carolina. Boyle says he has seen nowhere cyan ite deposits equal to those in this State. These deposits occur in the vein paralleling the Blue Ridge mountains and extend in a northeast southwest direction almost across the western end of the State.

John Stop Signs Must Be Observed In 3 Places In County Two Of Them Are Between Asheboro And Seagrove And Other At Liberty. It has been so long since the gener al motoring public has observed the “Stop” signs at grade crossings that it is doubtful if half the car drivers know why the signs were placed and what they mean. A survey was made recently of grade crossings in the State of North Carolina to determine at which point these signs should be observed and where they might be ignored without violating the law. It develops that there are just five grade crossings in the fifth highway dis trict, which includes Randolph, at which motorists must observe the “Stop” signs. These crossings have been officially designated and are as follows: 1. Norfolk and Southern crossing near Ulah on Asheboro-Seagrove road. 2. Norfolk and Southern crossing in town of Seagrove. 3 Southern crossing at Glen Haven on route 10. 4. Southern crossing at Haw river bridge on route 70 between Greens boro and Reidsville. 5. Southern crossing at Ruffin on route 70. 6 Atlantic and Yadkin crossing just west of Liberty on route 62. Randolph, it will be seen, draws three, or exactly half of these official stopping places. It is stated by the fifth district highway engineer that new “Stop” signs will be placed at these grade crossings. These new signs will be different from the old signs in size and in lettering and will be placed only 52 inches from the ground whereas the old signs are ten feet above ground.

According to Dr. G. H. Sumner. Health Officer for Randolph, there are ten cases of diphtheria reported in the county during the past month, five of these are in Trinity township^ three at liberty, one at Ashebore, and one in Back Creek township. la order to prevent the spreading ef this disease, Dr. Sumner gives a few points for the information of the peo ple. Diphtheria is an acute eontageomr disease, excited by the diphtheria germ and characterized by the forma tion of white to a gray membrane fomed in the throat, nose and larynx. It is associated with severe toxemia (poisining) of the entire system. In fection is mainly from the discharges from the nose, throat and larynx ia the form of mucus or pieces of mem brane which may be thrown out in the act of talking, coughing or sneezing. Another source of infection is the diphtheria carriers, or persons who harbor the diphtheria germs in their throat, but who do not have diphthe ria nor are even sick. Statistics show that one half of the healthy school children are carriers of diph theria and one per cent of the total population. The greatest majority of cases of diphtheria occur between the ages of nine months and ten years. Diphtheria stands first in the cause of death in children between the ages of three and four and between five and nine. In 1925, eighty-six per cent of the deaths were children under five years old. Diphtheria develops within two to five days after exposure. The usual form of diphtheria is the one which affects the throat, and it starts from sore throat accompanied with temperature. First the throat is red, followed by a gray film and later followed by a formation of a gray membrane. If your child has any of these symptoms, call the family physician. Nafial diphtheria produces an irii- ' tation discharge' which produces an ex coriation around the nose. The dis charge is usually bloody. When these symptoms are present a doctor should be consulted. Laryngeal diphtheria is characterized by a harsh, dry, metallic voice and cough. The child is cronpy and if these symptoms gradually grow worse in the day time, be on the look out for diphtheria. The dangers of diphtheria are main ly heart failure, kidney trouble, par alysis of the muscles of the throat, palate and muscles of the respiration and heart. The treatment of diph theria is the early administration of anti-toxin by a doctor. Anti-toxin should be administered early as the damage already produced cannot be undone. To prevent or abolish diph theria it is necessary to isolate cases or diphtheria carriers until the germs disappear from the throat, and to ad minister toxin-antitoxin to all child ren between the ages of six months and five years. Dr. Sumner strongly urges all par ents to see that their children have this toxin-antitoxin. It is necessary to take this preventative treatment in series of three doses until the child be comes immune to diphtheria, which is determined by the Schick test. Tox in-antitoxin may be given at any age. See your family physician or the health officer and have your child protected against this almost fatal disease. The health officer will make points in the county where sufficient people will gather for toxin-anti toxin to be administered.
