I can afford to say this because there is nothing whatever in the wjiy of public office that I would have Under any circum There has been In the past too much talk, whether true or not, of trading in public office, in this coun ty, and for this reason, as well as others, file management of a' cam paign should not be directly or indi Setfy iu the hands of the candidate, for office, hut in the hands of those whose only desire ia the success of the whele ticket.

Pritchard, the pastor of the church acted as toastmaster. Its principal address was delivered by Rev. S. W. Taylor, of Greensboro, President of the North Carolina An nual Conference.

Somebody page Chatham county, the rabbit metropolis of the Old North State! Last winter a Randolphite put Chat ham’s rabbit record to shame when he trapped some 185 of the wily little furry creatures and then didn’t feel that he had done the cause justice. Now comes Jess Garner, county game warden, to put Randolph still further along in the limelight in rabbitdom. Mr. Gamer ordered four pairs of Texas jack rabbits at his own expense to be released in the county. Three pairs came in good shape, while the other two rabbits arrived dead. Mr. Gamer took the six live animals and released them on Worth Gamer’s farm down in the southwestern sec tion of the county. He put out the word that the' rabbits were not to be shot, but left to their own devices. He isn’t afraid that any Randolph county hound will catch any of the Texas jacks, only a greyhound being .fast enough to perform this feat. A Texas jack rabbit weighs about ten pounds ordinarily, .and when fat will tip the scales to a higher notch or so. When sitting down on their haunches, as rabbits are wont when not running or foraging for food, they appear to be about the size of an average hound dog. Their method of running, es pecially when being chased, is by long hops or jumps. Mr. Gamer's bringing jack rabbits to the county is more or. less of an experiment. The State Game Com mission has had the matter up, but has made no steps toward experiment ing with ttie breeding of the animals in the Stale. Sport lovers will watch Mr. Gamer’s experiment with inter est. Sullivan Is Held On Grave Charge Must Face Superior Court On Manslaughter Charge Grow ing Out Of Car Accident. Under' $$000 Bond H.

It will be recalled that Sullivan was arrested immediately after the accident and released under $3,000 bond at a preliminary hearing Tues day, March 13th, on charge of as sault with deadly weapon. The war rant was amended soon afterwards, however, to manslaughter charge and Mr. Sullivan re-arrested and brought baclc to Asheboro and placed jn jail. It was on this graver charge that he was given a hearing before Judge Townsend Tuesday morning. Ross Pays Glowing Tribute To Life Of S. Davies Warfield Late Seaboard Air Line Presi dent Ranked Among Empire Builders Of The South. Arthur Ross paid a glowing tribute and achievements of S. Warfield, late president of the Line railroad, in a before the Ashe boro Rotary Club at its regular week ly luncheon last Friday. Mr. Ross stated that Mr. Warfield was one of the greatest organizers of both cap ital and labor that the South ever pro duced. Employes of the railroad, from the lowliest section hand to the highest salaried executive, loved and respected him, and were loyal to a marked degree to the railway com pany. This fact he stated had inter ested him, and caused him to make a study of the man who could imbue such a spirit into so large an organiz ation of employes. Mr. Ross emphasized the fact that, contrary to the belief of a number of people, Mr. Warfield was a southern man, and had a great vision of the future of the south. He believed in iiis south, and turned his resource fulness to her development. Concluding, Mr. Ross stated that S. Davies Warfield is ranked among Die empire builders of the south.

Underwood Ts Wie ner In Spelling1 Match—Retd Hix Gets Seconfd Place. Delightful Program Throughout The Evening—* Every Part Pleasing To The Hundreds In Attendance. A barrage of words given from oat' the covers of Webster’s old blueback spelling book mowed down the as pirants for spelling honors at tin high school building last Friday night in short order. Mrs. W. A. Underwood, who had survived the battery of words, many of them un familiar to present-day school child ren, had to take her seat when she missed spelling “Berylline,” which tm the name of a precious stone. Beil Hix, last to hold the line on the high school side, met his Waterloo on the word “Embryo.” The contest was staged between a team of 26 of the best spellers in the high school and a like number of “outsiders.” The Art Exhibit Probably attracting as much at tention and holding iifterest as close ly as the spelling contest, which comprises only a part of the even ing’s program, was the art exhibit. Replicas of famous paintings were exhibited in large number, and linel the walls of the school room hails. Doors were opened for the viewing of this exhibit at 7 o’clock, and an hour later, the other attractions wen staged. First on the program was a piano duet, “Drums and Trumpets,” by Misses Margaret Hammond ant Emma Rice. This was followed by a series of “living pictures” as fol lows: “The Age of Innocence,” by Dorothy Welch; “The Girl With tin Apple,” by Margaret Wbod; “Tim Song of the Lark,” by Louise Mc Cain. This feature of the program was especially pleasing. Next cam* a recitation, “When Earth’s Last Picture is Painted,” selected from Kipling, by Sal lie McCain, Thai came the spelling match and tha awarding of prises. The educational department of Woman’s Club cooperated in the exhibit and the- spelling match i succeeded in realizing quite a tidy sum of money imm first ' which will be u_ of the local school. . „ Prizes Awarded Prizes were offered and won follows, the prizes, except for hers in the spelling match, |1.00 in trade at the stores nated: High School 1.
