Executive ^Committee
Recommends Wright
By Vote Of 1* To 5 Over Nolan
AHen—CofflHM Bowman In
Charge Of C«
The Republican county executive
committee in session in Asheboro Sat
urday afternoon hy a vote of 15 to 5
recommended the appointment of
Frank M. Wright as postmaster at
Asheboro to fill the place made va
cant by the death of U. C. Richardson.
The other candidate for the recom
mendation was Nolan Allen, assistant
postmaster under Mr. Richhrdson.
Riding rotkgh-shod, the Republican
old guard, with Cephas Bowman en
gineer in charge, drove the steam rol
ler over the meeting, outvoted the op
position at every turn and smothered
every effort to give the patrons of
the Asheboro office any hearing in
the deliberations. Mr. Bowman was
frank to state that an appointive
postmaster is selected for political ac
tivity alone and that on this basis Mr.
Wright deserod the recommendation
of the committeef The patrons of the
offioe, he thought and so did Chair
man C|ox, have nothing to say relative
the appointment of a postmaster, and
the fact that Mr. Allen held in his
hands a petition signed by 1100 pa
trons of the Asheboro office had no
bearing on the matter whatever.
J. S. Lewis asked for a primary in
.Asheboro to ascertain the wishes of
the patrons of the office in the mat
ter, but this suggestion got'little or
no consideration froip the twenty
members of the Republican county
executive committee attending the
confab. Mr. Allep carried out this
idea by stating that if he couldn’t get
the recommendation of 75 per cent of
the patrons of the postoffice he would
withdraw from the race.
Spokesmen for Mr. Wright coun
tered with the statement that their
candidate for the place had -circulated
no peition, and, had he doner so, .he
could probably come into the meeting
with as many signer^ as Allen. Even
before the actual voting in secret
session, the observer could tell which
way the cards were stacked and that
Allen had not a ghost of a show for
the committee’s recommendation.
Mr. Wright, recommended at the
meeting Saturday afternoon, is a
former Clerk Smbhrior Court of Ran
dolphwS*tJThaving served from
1914 to 1922. He was defeated for
the office in 1926 by the late W. A.
Lovett, Democrat. Before coming to

Veteran Conductor
Albert M. Oglesby, aged 43, for
twenty years a conductor on the
Norfolk Southern railway lines, died
suddenly, at his home on Sunset ave
nue, in Asheboro, about 10 o’clock
Monday night, from a heart attack.
Mr. Oglesby had been in ill health for
;the past several weeks, but his health
had apparently improved and he was
able to come up street to greet his
many friends.
Mr. Oglesby moved to Asheboro
with his family about a year ago
from Aberdeen. Prior to his resi
dence at Aberdeen, he hqd for several
years lived *1 West Efed. On coming
to Ashebo$o, Mr. Oglesby and his
family affiliated themselves with the
Jftrst Methodist Church, South, and
took an active interest in the civic,
social and ie|igious life of the town.
Captain Oglesby, as he was best
known, was a son of the late Rev. 6.
A. Oglesby, who was killed by a train
at Troy about 23 years ago. . Rev.
Mr. Oglesby was at that time pastor
of churches at Troy, Biscoe and star.
Capt. Oglesby had been on the Nor
folk Southern run out of Asheboro
for several months. Prior to being
transferred to this run, he was on the
main lines from Charlotte to Raleigh.
Surviving are his widow and six
children, who are Albert, Carolyn,
Nicholas, Ada Reives, John and Eliza
beth. He leaves also one brother,
Judge John M. Oglesby, of Concord}
and one sister, Mrs. M. P. Burke, of
Roanoke, Va.
The funeral was held Wednesday
morning at 11 o’clock from the Meth- |
odist Episcopal church at West End
by Rev. B. C. Reavis, pastor of the
First Methodist Church, Asheboro, as
sisted by the pastor of the West End
church. The body was laid to rest in
the church cemetery. A great throng
of friends of Mr. Oglesby and the
family from many parts of the State
gathered to pay last tribute to the
deceased. The floral offerings were
many and beautiful. In the cemetery
in which Mr. Oglesby was laid to rest,
was first buried Mrs. Oglesby’s moth
er. Native long leaf pines form the
background of the cemetery and many
of the graves may be found in the
California Dam
Bursts And Takes
Heavy Toll Of Life
75-Foot Wall Of Water Sweeps
Down Valley, Washing Away
' Everything In Sight.
A big dam, 185 feet in length, and
backing up 38,000 acre feet of water,
in the San Francisquito canyon, in
California, burst without warning late
Monday night, turning a 75-foot wall
of water loose down the valley, inun
' dating and sweeping away homes and
everything else in its path. The dam
impounded water for the city <jf Los
Angeles. The death toll has reached
300 persons, with 700 others reported
missing. Many of the missing are
thought to have perished in the flood
and their bodies buried beneath the,
many feet of sand which now covers
the valley for miles.
Experts can give no reason for the
bursting of the dam unless it was
caused by earthquake disturbances.
They claim that the only way the dam
could have broken was from this cause
or from being dynamited. There is no
evidence that the dam wae dynamited.
In fact, it would have taken several
hours of work and thousands of
pounds of dynamite to have broken
the dam.

New Jersey Pair
Fail To “Beat The
Law” This Instance
Arrested In Guilford County
And Taken To New Jersey To
Answer Charges There.
Mrs. Ethel Hink and Claud Wilkins
“beat the law” several days ago when
they were released under habeas cor
pus proceedings and set free from
the Randolph county jail, where they
were being held to await the arrival
of Jlew Jersey officers to take them
to the “skeeter state” to answer
I to charges of abandonment. But
when they became entangled with the
law again last Friday night out at
Guilford Battleground where they
were staging a drinking bee, it was
a different story. They were turned
over to New Jersey officers Monday j
afternoon and are now back in their
native State to answer to the courts.
Mrs. Hink and Wilkins were arrest
ed several weeks ago and placed in
jail at Asheboro where they stayed ,
for some time awaiting the arrival of
New Jersey officers. The ■ officers
came and armed themselves with re
quisition papers form Governor Mc
Lean, but when they reached Ashe
boro, the pair had been taken to
Greensboro by their attorney and!
were released by order of Judge Mc
Rae, who was convinced that North
Carolina had no right to detain Mrs.
Hink and her partner. They were
not as lucky the last time and when
they were lodged ih Guilford county
jail, New Jersey officers soon took
possession of them.

Sandhills Expecting Big:
Peach Crop This Season
News comes from the Sandhills that
a bumper peach crop is in prospect
this year in that section. Peach
growers are thankful for the cool,
frosty nights which have held back the
peach buds and blooms. And, unless
there is a cold snap later in the sea
son to kill the crop, peach growers ex
pect to harvest one of the largest
crops in the history of the Sandhills.
The growers are optimistic over the
outlook this season on account of the
recent lowering of freight rate on
peaches shipped from the Sandhills
to northern markets. This lower
rate will mean, in many instances, the
difference between a profit and loss.

Must Be Observed.
Now that the wintry blasts have
been suercededs by th«f balmy breesea
of spring, and the sight of the angle
worm turned up by the garden spade
has put the germ of the “fishing
fever” into those who are wont to re
pair in springtime to the brooks
rivers and creeks with the rod aai
reel, thought should be taken of the
provisions of the State Angler’s Act.
Licenses must be obtained by those
who would lure the finny tribe from
its'liar beneath the rippling surface
of the stream.
Fishing licenses obtained last spring
, are out of date now, and those «b»
would cast the hook and line in the
water in expectation of the rise of the
fish to the lure must obtain another
little slip of paper from the Coeety
Clerk or Game Warden to give
an undisputed right to wield the nt
and reel. The licenses obtained let
year expired December 31st, UR,
and the new year ushered in snnthar
license year. These licenses may ha
obtained at a cost for county resident
license of $1.10; resident state, $8,1%
and non-resident state, $3.10.
Contrary to general opihion, these
who fish ewith th old reed rod or am*
cut from the nearest convenient asp
ling on the river’s bank and use only
one baited hook, require ns license. &
is only the fisherman who uaes the
rod and reel, or a set of hooks append
ed to his line who must buy 1 iceman.
Reference is had to Sec. 14 of the
Angler’s Act, which reads: "The pip
