214300 ia to be sent out on October
15 to the 94 counties participating in
the State Equalizing Fund of $6,500,
000 appropriated by the last Legisla

This amount represents the second

the custodians of the county school
funds. Randolph shared to the extent
of $14,000 in this distribution. With
this installment a total of $2,371,100
-will have been set to these officials by
the State.
The State Superintendent also an

making such provision as is necessary
in order that a third installment of
$1,270,800 may be sent out on Decem

Under the law the distribution of
that part of the Fund applicable to
the six months school term is limited
to four installments. The fourth in

Thousands Are In Attendance At 9th
Annual Randolph County Fair Here
Gates of the ninth annual Randolph
County Fair opened Tuesday morning,
and at first glance Fair visitors were
impressed with the fact that this is
the best Fair in the history of the
county. Tuesday was Educational
Day and the teachers and school chil
dren of the county took advantage of
the day set aside for them, for there
were thousands of them there. By
the noon hour the grounds were com
fortably filled, and at 2:30 in the af
ternoon when devotional exercises
were held at the grand stand there
was a large crowd on hand.
The devotionals were conducted by
Rev. J. E. Pritchard, of Asheboro, as
sisted by Rev. S. M. Penn, of Sophia.
The audience joined in singing “My
Country Tis of Thee,” and Miss Ger
trude Feme sang a solo, accompanied
at the piano by Mrs. James Burns. A.
I. Feme, president of the Fair Asso
ciation, made a short talk welcoming
the visitors to the Fair grounds.
On Tuesday night, it has been es
timated there were 10,000 people in
side the Fair Grounds, the largest
crowd in the history of this local ins
titution. The crowds were well en
tertained too, by the number and qual
ity of exhibits, their attractiveness
and general excellence. The free acts
in front of the grand stand were un
usually good. Capt. H. H. Kennedy’s
team of 50 “square” dancers from
Rockingham copnty outshone all other
free attractions of the evening. These
dancers were applauded frequently
and loud and long. Seldom, if ever,
has there been such exhibition of the
old-time dances as those given by
Capt. Kennedy’s team. He had sent
down warning that he had collected
some of the best dancing teams in the
State and he made good.
Last night the Asheboro "square”
dancing teams held the center of the
stage, and held it well. These teams

Importance Of Regular Attendance
Being Stressed At Asheboro School
The State department of education
is more than ever this school year
laying particular stress on school at
tendance. There has been a compul
sory school attendance law in North
Carolina for several years past, a law
which has been enforced in some parts
of the State and in other parts, al
though effort hag been made to make
it effective, the enforcement is still
far from perfect This year, how
ever, the State department will keep
a close check on school attendance and
wherever the law in transgressed or
disregarded an effort will be made to
get to the root of the matter. School
principals this year are required to
make monthly reports on absences
from school, reasons for such ab
sences and disposition made of such
infractions of the compulsory attend
ance law.
Importance Of Regular Attendance
It is interesting to note in this
connection, and something which the
average person is likely to overlook,
that school costs go on just the same
whether pupils attend school or are
absent from classes. For instance,
combined teachers salaries for both
white and colored schools in Ashe
boro amounts to $3,799.14 per month.
Total enrollment in both white and
colored schools approximates 1275.
This figures instructional cost per
pupil in Asheboro schools at 14.4
cents per school day. The State av
erage is a little more than 16 cents
per day per pupil, so it will be seen
that local schools are more economical
than State average. The State aver
age current expense cost per pupil is
30 cents a day. The average in the

local schools is a little less. But the
fact remains that whether your child
is in school or not, you are paying for
it.
Aside from the economics of school
attendance, the absence of a pupil
from school works similarly to the
absence of a cog from a machine. The
absent pupil misses the continuity of
instruction and at the same time is a
hindrance to the entire class.
Short Holidays
It was pointed out by Supt. Hilker
of the Asheboro city schools yester
day that the school session is 180 days
in length, exclusive of holidays. The
school started late this fall in order
to wait for tax money to come in to
take care of the expense. Therefore,
the superintendent and the board have
found it necessary to cut down length
of holidays. The Thanksgiving holi
day will be for one day only, and the
usual two weeks at Christmas has
been cut to one week. It will be nec
essary to make up all days which
school does not operate until the full
session of 180 days has been taught.
Report Cards Out
Report cards covering the first
month’s work of the Asheboro city
schools were handed pupils yester
day. Parents are urged to study
these cards carefully, and any grade
below a four plus should be looked in
to with view of ascertaining the reas
on for it. If it is possible then to im
prove the pupil’s work on this partic
ular subject on which a low grade has
been made, then it is to the advan
tage of both school and pupil that
this be done.
Convincing: Reason
For Curbing Power
Of Chief Executive
Abuse Of Rate Making Privileg
es Demonstrated In Raising
The Tariff On Sugar.
Perhaps no other incident of the
failure of the flexible tariff as ad
ministered by the President furnished
such a clear and convincing reason
for taking that power away from the
executive, restoring the status of the
Tariff Commission as a fact-finding
body, as the sugar investigation upon
which a report was made to the Pres
ident in 1924.
The history of that failure is set
«»fc Jtot*g»l% by the United
' States Sugar Association and inserted
in the Congressional Record by Sen
ator Walsh of Massachusetts. The
main facts therein are as follows:
“The Tariff Commission spent two
and one-half years on its investiga
tion. It recommended to the President
that he reduce the rate from 1.76 cents
to 1.23 cents a pound. A minority re
port recommended a rate of 1.50
cents. These figures were sustained
by the Bureau of Economics, whose
report states that a rate between 1.25
and 1.50 cents per pound would be a
just rate.
“The Tariff Commission stated in
its report that the cost to the country
of retaining the rate of 1.76 per pound
as against the establishment of a rate
of 1.23 cents per pound is approxi
mately $75,000,000.
“Now tariff experts have demons
trated that the rate on sugar in the
Hawley bill will increase the burden
on the American pocketbook some ,
$150,000,000 per annum.” ,
The statement also says: “Unfortun
ately the recommendation of the
Tariff Commission came during a po
litical campaign, and the President, it
is said, thought it inexpedient to
adopt it and put it into effect.”
In other words, the President's fail
ure or refusal, for purposes of polit
ical expediency, to accept the findings
of the Tariff Commission, whose mem
bers he appoints, corroborated by the
Bureau of Economics, has cost the
American people in the last five years
an excess tariff tax on sugar alone
of $375,000,000, or approximately
$3.75 cents for every man, woman, and
child in the United States. The Haw
ley bill proposes to double this amount
in the next five years.
Burn Cotton Stalks
To Prevent Ravages
Of Hie Weevil Tribe
One of the ways to check the in
roads of the boll weevil in this sec
tion of the State is to destroythe cot
ton stalks as soon as cotton picking is
over. In this regard, C. H. Brannon,
State extension entomologist,
.“All cotton stalks should
be plowed , under or killed
soon as possible. There will be
er boll weevil to live throug
winter if cotton stalks can b
stroyed before hibernation whi
at the time of frosts. Unless the uou
weevils obtain plenty of food just be
fore entering hibernation, they will
not live through the winter, therefore
every cotton grower should promptly
destroy the stalks just as soon as
possible. The sooner the cotton can
be picked and the stalks killed, the
fewer weevil will be able to survive
the winter.
“If the cotton stalks cannot be
plowed under before frost, sow a
green crop (as rye, oats, etc.) in the
rows and later cut or knock down the
stalks.
“AH cotton growers should coop
erate in this important control. Di
straction of stalks is just as

ford Before Recent Rotary
Meeting—Figures Given.
Fire prevention was the chief sub
ject discussed at the regular weekly
luncheon of the Asheboro Rotary Club
last Friday noon. Fire Chief Homey,
of High Point, and Fireman Hayworth,
of the High Point Fire Department
were among the guests of the club on
this occasion. Mayor C. C. Cranford,
a member of the Rotary Club, read a
very interesting paper on fire pre
vention, which is reproduced here
with:
On Tuesday of this week Fire Chief
Clarence Rush and I were in the
school auditorium with the school chil
dren. Chief Rush made a very inter
esting talk along the following lines:
First: He asked the school to begin
in the basement of the school building
and clean up every old box, every old
scrap of paper and then go to each
room and do the same thing.
Then, go to the school yard and
clean up all trash and place it away
from any building and bum it.
After that, he asked each child to
go home, begin in the basement and
go to the attic and clean up every
piece of rubbish in and around the
home. He also instructed them to
not use oil for starting fires, but if
.they did, to use a tin cup and not poor
the oil out of a can.
The whole lecture was well gotten
