State Is Asked
, To Take Over The
Coleridge Road
County Commissioners Passed
Resolution Making This Re
quest At Meeting.
■i . ' .i—. .
14 Miles Improved
Board Also Asks For Extension
Of The Road'To Carthage, r
In Moore County.
The board of commissioners for
Randolph county in regular session in
the court house in Asheboro Monday
passed ft resolution asking the State
Highway Commission to take over
as a part of the State highway sys
tem and maintain the highway lead
ing from Asheboro to Coleridge,
thence to the county line, and on by
High Falls, Bennett and Hallison to
Carthage, in Moore county. The reso
lution mentioned the fact that four
teen miles of the route from Asheboro
in the direction of Coleridge is a good
top soil sand clay road, that concrete
abutments are built to the bridges
which are of steel span and that metal
culverts have been provided where
needed. ^ '
As advertised last week, the com
missioners borrowed $60,000 on short
term notes at four and one-fourth
per cent interest from the First Na
tional- Bank of Philadelphia to take
care of current expenses until 1927
taxes are collected by the sheriff.
These notes are due and payable Feb
ruary 3rd, 1928, and are what is
known as tax anticipation notes. This
is in accordance with the new county
government act which permits boards
of commissioners to borrow on antic
ipated revenue, but not for perman
ent improvements, current expenses
or anything else which creates a new
‘indebtedness in the form of bonds
without vote of the people.
The road supervisor was instructed
by the commissioners to stake out a
route for a road from each end of the
bridge over Haskett’s Creek, near the
home of C. E. Bonkemeyer.
It was ordered by the commission
ers that the road from Roland Kearns’
to a point near John Jackson’s, in
Back Creek township, be discontinued
Bince a new road to replace same has
been constructed. The commissioners
discontinued also the road leading
*-* to Red Cross
White’s to Prathe
Guilford county line to Bethel church.
Hie commissioners agreed to pay
$60, half the expenses of a trip to the
National Dairy Show at Memphis,
Tenn., this month, for E. S. Millsaps,
Jr., county agent. Mr. Millsaps gets
the other half paid by reason of win
ning third place among the county
agents in the State .in the “Better
Sires” campaign which closed August
31st
Heavy Rain Fell
In County Monday
Rainfall Measured 3.65 Inches,
According: To The Official
Weather Observer.
Seldom in recent years nave
dolph county people experienced such
a rain as fell Monday. Whipped
about by the wind it came from every
direction of the compass and fell un
til, according* to Rev. J. E. Pritchard,
official weather observer, it reached
a depth of 3.65 inches, more than
falls in sbme single months, and more
than twice the amount that fell* the
entire month of September, Streams
after the rain were reported the. full
est they had been in months due to
the fact that the rain fell fast and a
large part of it ran off in the Greeks
and rivers instead of soaking in the
soil. Fishermen,” however, are de
lighted'because the rain will flush
out the creeks and rivers, making the
water more clear and pure giving the
fish more zest to rise to the lure of
the bait Gardeners and farmers, of
course, will benefit most by the tain,
which will revive vegetatiom in gen
eral " v.; '• /■ • "
Millsaps Wins 3rd
Place In “Better
Sires” Campaign
County Agent Ewing S. Millsaps,
Jr., is again a winner ui the "Bet
ter Sires” campaign staged by the
Extension Department North Caro
lina Department of Agriculture."
Mr. Millsaps by - placing on. the
farms of Randolph county for the
fiscal year ending August 31,1927,
a total of 28 registered bulls be
comes winner of third place in the
State. This entitles Mr. Millsaps
to half of his expenses On a trip to
the National Dairy Show to be held
at Memphis, Tenn., October 15th
to 22nd. Mr. Millsaps won second
place in a similar contest in 1925
and last year was not permitted to
enter the contest, the rules debar
ring a previous year’s winner.
It Mil be recalled that, during
the past thirty months ending Au
gust 31, 1927, Mr. Millsaps has
been instrumental in placing on
Randolph county farm a total of
76 registered Guernsey bulls, 109
registered Guernsey cows and 207
grade cows, a total of 392 cattle of
the better grade.
Oct 9 to 15 Fire
Prevention Week
Designated By Governor Mc
Lean—Galls On People To
Take Ample Precautions.
Appalling Fire Less
The week October 9th to October
15th huh been designated by procla
mation of Governor McLean as Fire
Prevention Week for North Carolina.
This week will be also fire prevention
week for the entire United States.
The Governor urges that during the
week there be held fire - drills in
schools, factories and stores and that
these be continued at regular inter
vals. All buildings should be inspect
ed, says the proclamation, and every
thing possible done to reduce the fire
hazard.
The Governor quotes from statis
tics that $6,649,039 worth of prop
erty was destroyed in North Carolina
in 1926 by fire, 286 persons burned to
death, and that this loss of life and
property was caused largely /by
carelessness. Supplementing the fig
In
_ _ . build
ings of various'kmd8 burned to the
ground or partly burned during 1926
in the State and that of these 1,330
were residents. Sixty garages
were burned or .damaged, 26 school
houses, 140 stores, 16 apartment
houses* 5 hospitals, 17 churches and
61 factories^ It is pointed ogt that
it is the people who ultimately pay
for all fire losses. There may be in
surance on the property and the own
er can collect for his loss, but the in
surance never replaces the property
burned and, after all, insurance com
panies pay losses out of insurance
premiums which have been collected
from property owners.
Probable That Bakery Will
Open For Business Saturday
Asheboro’s newest industry, a bak
ery, may be opened for business Sat
urday. At least, this is the hope oi
J. R. Parks, owner of the plant. For
the past several days machinery and
other equipment for the bakery has
been arriving and work has been go
ing forward on its installation in
the Hedrick building on South Fay
etteville formerly occupied by Kivett
Electric Company. Alterations were
made on the building also. All this
has taken time, but now everything
is nearing readiness and if the bakery
doesn’t open Saturday it will be do
ing business early next week.
Couldn’t Overlook
“Made In Randolph”
So Strikingly Attractive That
Those Who Came To See
Had To B*»rn>
In connection with the Fair article
in last week’s issue of The Courier,
Want Contagious
Diseases Reported
Not Only County Health Officer
But Also To District School
Teacher.
Safeguards Others
At the meeting of the county board
of health held in the court house in
Asheboro Monday a resolution was
passed requiring each physician upon
making a diagnosis of a case of
diphtheria or in suspected cases of
the disease in which anti-toxin is giv
en to administer to each person ex
posed' to the case a prophylactic dose
of diphtheria anti-toxin of from 500
to 1500 units depending upon age.
The health board made a request also
that physicians in the county report
contagious diseases which they come
in contact with to the principal of the
school in the district in which the
case is located. It is especially urged
that this be done in the case of chil
dren of school age. In doing this it
will enable the school principal to
see to it that the disease does not
spread through his school.
Report of Dr. G. H. Sumner, the
county health officer, was made to
the board at this meeting and ac
cepted. His report shows that he has
quarantined 28 cases during the
month, 18 of which have been diph
theria, 3 scarlet fever, 2 typhoid, 1
meningitis and 7 pertussis. He made
a total of forty visits in these cases.
Dr. Sumner completed during the
month 41 typhoid vaccinations qpd 77
for diphtheria. Three homes in which
there were tubercular cases were vis
ited. Three casesof veneral diseases
were reported for the month and
treatment for this diseas? rendered in
four instances of indigent cases. Final
examination was made during ‘ the
month of 323 school children.
During the month Dr. Sumner
made 18 visits to the jail and 8 to the
county home for the treatment or ex
amination of patients. Examinations
made during the month included
those of 110 school teachers, 2 for
marriage, 3 children for industry, 3
persons by court order, 5 for lunacy,
3 for life extension and 3 prisoners.
In performing the various duties
incident to his office Dr." Sumner
traveled a total of 846 miles.
Dear Editor:
We would like to write a little in
your paper about what we saw and
heard at the Fair. Well, I hope
everybody is over the Fair and feeling
good by this time, after we have all
been to the Fair and returned to our
several homes and had time to think
and hear people talk of the great
things we saw in the Fair.
The Farm products were fine, also
the poultry. Hogs and cattle were
very fine and the other things “Made
in Randolph” which make us feel
proud of our old Randolph of which
we boast wherever we go, and in all
the buildings- the exhibits were fine.
But out on the Midway, as they
call it, we regret to say all was not
so good as there were several com
plaints from people saying they were
fooled by the gamblers. While most
people say not gamble with them,
which they should not do, blit as long
as $2 is offered for 50 cents some
folks will bite. But let us hope the
officials of the Fair Association will
never allow the Fair to be defiled with
such a' gang again. What do you say ?
We- also saw stands of all kinds in
the buildings and on the outside. The
churches were also there and did
serve some extra good things to eat
which most people enjoyed very
much. But they say that the profit
and more from these stands of the
churches would go to help finance the
different churches represented there.
Now, we would like to ask if this is
God's plan according to the Bible to
finance the most Important institu
tion in the world, the ch^rcl). If ;so,
• have \ye who have beat tithing fW
years to help finance the church have
been using the wrong plan? ‘ - V .
I would like to hear- through the
columns of this paper what some of
our Bible readers have to say on
subject. , ?

Several Talks Made
The seventh annual Randolph
County Fair came to a close Saturday
night after four days and five nights
of entertainment, instruction and rec
reation for the many thousands of
people from Randolph ~and adjoining
counties who passed through the
turnstiles from first to last. From the
standpoints of excellence, variety and
number of exhibits in every depart
ment and the number of people who
attended, this fair was the largest
and best ever held in Randolph coun
ty. The crowds of people who at
tended this event began to break rec
ords of attendance from the first day
and kept it up until the very close.
It would be difficult to select from
the many departments one which was
of more interest than the others.
Some people were interested in one
department while others were inter
ested in another. Suffice to say that
the heads of each department and
their assistants exerted themselves to
the utmost in-making their share of
the fair the best in the history of the
county. The public generally will
testify to the fact that each and all
succeeded. Of course, the fair could
never have been what it was without
the whole-hearted cooperation of the
people of the county, people in every
walk of life.
The crowds were handled smoothly
during the fair by those in charge.
There was little confusion and less of
bad order.
Wednesday of the Fair was, of
course, Educational Day, and a large
number of school children from all
parts of the county were admitted
free and helped to swell the large at
tendance that day. Thursday was
Moore and Montgomery county day
and people from these counties came
to take part in the Fair in addition to
hundreds from Randolph and other
counties. Friday was Home Comers
Day and Saturday was Everybody’s
Day.

Historic Residence
Is Being Torn Down
Oid House On Worth Street
Built Before Civil War Gives
Way To Progress.
The residence on Worth street ad
joining the home of Mr. H. M. Worth
is being tom down by Mr. J. O. Red
ding who purchased the property sev
eral years ago. The removal of this
building takes away one of the oldest
structures in the town. The house
was built before 1850 by either J. M.
A. Drake who moved to Prairie Cen
ter, HI., before the Civil war or by E.
M. Drake who ran a newspaper in
Asheboro, later moving to Statesville
where he operated a newspaper.
The residence was occupied by Mr.
and Mrs. Shubal G. Worth parents of
Mr. H. M. Worth, of Asheboro, and
Mrs. H. D. Collins, of Greensboro,
prior to the building of their home on
the spot where Mrs. T. H. Redding
now resides. This house was de
stroyed by fire while occupied by Mr.
R. R. Ross’ family around thirty-five
years ago.
Mr. H. M. Worth claims the dis
tinction of first seeing the light in .the
residence now being destroyed. His
many friends will remember this
historic item with»interest. After the
removal of Mr. and Mrs. Worth to
their new home, Mr. Arch Dicks, a
brother-in-law of the late Dr. J. M.
Worth, resided in this historic house
and it has for many years been known
as the old Dicks place. Dr. S.^k. Hen
ley, who probably did more charity
practice than any physician who has
ever lived in the county, occupied this
residence for many years after mov
ing to Asheboro.
Mr. E. B. Kearns purchased the
place around forty years ago and he
and his splendid wife lived there the
remainder of their lives. The prop
erty passed from the Kearns estate
to Mr. J. 0. Redding who purchased
it several years ago.

No Special Term Of
Criminal Court To

The week’s term of Randolph
Superior Court for the trial of
cases on the criminal docket, sched
uled to begin Monday morning,
October 10th, will not be held, ac
cording to advices received from
Governor McLean by the local bar
association. This special term has
been called off on account of the
inability of the Chief Executive to
obtain the services of a judge for
the week, all of the Superior Court
judges being engaged elsewhere.
The two weeks term of special
court for the trial' of actions cal
endered on the civil docket, sched

Rt 90 Shortened
By Court Ruling
Commission By Selecting Route
Brings Asheboro Two Miles
Nearer Raleigh.
follow Jenks Route
A recent ruling of the North Caro
lina Supreme Court gives the State
Highway Commission authority to
determine the routing of all new
State highways. This ruling settles
a matter of argument between the
Wake county commissioners and the
State Highway Commission over the
routing of Highway 90 from Pittsboro
to Raleigh. The Wake board of com
missioners contended for the Apex
route. The Highway Commission de
sired the Jenks route and since the
Supreme Court ruling has notified the
Wake board that this route will be
the one followed. The Jenks route
is more direct and is some two miles
shorter than the Apex route. Tlje
shortening of the distance will mean
that Raleigh will be just two miles
nearer Asheboro, Ramseur and
Franklinville than the Apex route
would have made it. It means, also,
that the distance to Raleigh from any
point west will be two miles nearer.
This is not a long distance but with
Highway 90 destined to become one
of the most largely traveled routes
in the State it will mean a total sav
ing of time, mileage and tires that
will amount to quite a lot when
translated into dollars and cents.
Childfen’s Home (Society
Makes Many Placements
The September report of the North
Carolina Children’s Home Society of
North Carolina, Inc., at Greensboro,
shows that there were 40 children in
the home September 1st, and that
this number including children re
ceived during the month made 57 in
the care of the institution at the end
of the month. Total placements in
foster homes during the month reach
ed 13. Only one child died during
the month. Total placements of chil
dren to date during 1927 has reached
75, while grand total of placements
amounts to 2,530.
Revival At Level Cross
Revival services began at Level
Cross M. P. church last Sunday, and
will run through next Sunday. Dr.
and Mrs. Dixon are the fhinisterial
helpers in the meeting. Two services
will be held on next Sunday. At 2
P. M. the church will be dedicated.
Although places where liquor may
be obtained have been growing in
England since the war, the decrease
in convictions for drunkenness in the
courts the. last fiscal year decreased
10.6 per cent under the previous year,
and the total was the smallest in
eight years. Saturday is the worst
day of the week in England for
drunkenness.

utes on “Individual Responsibility*,

Tobacco Markets In Old

their tobacco ready for sale, however,
and in some places the sales opening
day were not as large as they
have been.' Winston-Salem experienc
ed the biggest opening in'its history,
but the tobacco sold was saturated
with too much moisture to bring the
best prices. Something over a mil
lion pounds were on the floors of the
Twin City warehouses. Good cigar
ette tobacco brought from $15 to $2S
per hundred. The average was $14kj&
