Brick Construction Latest Type Mill Building Is Being Erected—Concrete, Steel And Brick Used. Construction work has been started on the new plant of the Asheboro Chair Company on the large lot lying on the corner of Salisbury and Park streets and extending to Hoover. The dry kiln, in two sections and 40 feet by 100 feet over all, are well on to ward completion. The main building will be 60 by 190 feet in dimension and will be of latest type brick and steel mill construction with concrete floors, and the same construction will be followed throughout the entire plant. This building will face on Park street. The finishing building will be 40 feet by 200 feet over all. The en tire plant will be one story in height, and will be sprinklered when com pleted and ready for installation of machinery. Several practically new machines were salvaged from the plant which was burned in August and additional new machinery will be added to equip the plant. The company will spec ialize in the manufacture of dining room furniture of practically the same grade as that made in the old plant prior to tire fire. At that time the plant was shipping a car of fin ished produet daily and had orders in hand sufficient to keep the industry in continuous operation for four or five months. ’ The new plant will be in operation probably by the first of the new year and will employ a full complement of hands, which will mean much to the industrial life of the city.

' It would be a difficult task to select pay one feature of the ninth annual Randolph County Fair, which closed ,Saturday night, as the most outstand ing. Every department of the entire Fur set a standard .that will be hard ,to attain in any succeeding occasion of this kind. Expressions of interest, wohder and delight were heard on ev ery hand from the crowds of visitors who could be found any hour of the day and night in the Fair grounds as they inspected the exhibits. This Fair was probably the first ever held in the county in which the midway did not attract more attention than the exhibits. The midway this year got less share of attention than ever before and much less than the free acts and especially the exhibits in the main Fair building. The main building could be found crowded any time during the Fair. This could not be said of the midway. The agricultural exhibits were at tractive, educational and interesting.

This organization, which was only recently organized, is ambitions to .beautify the school grounds, as well as help the school in other di rections. To this end a committee was formed to head the work on the school grounds with Mr. W. M. Gar ner chairman of the grading commit tee. J. R. Wham and S. A. Cooper are also on this committee. Saturday, November 2nd, has been set as “Work Day” and every patron of the school is asked to cooperate with this com mittee in starting the grading of the grounds preparatory to having the State inspector of grounds to come and make suggestions as to the best way to plant for beautifying. A membership drive is also on in this wide-awake organization, with Mr. S. A. Cooper chairman, and with the small fee of 25 cents a year it is hoped that every person in the com munity will join in this splendid*work and make the grounds beautiful there by instilling the spirit of school pride in the children as well as the older citizens of the section. The officers of the organization are: President, Miss Hope Hubbard; Vice President, Mrs. L. R. Bane; Sec retary, Miss Katy Belle Cagle; Treasurer, F. C. Gamer.

The examina tion, which was given to about 13,000 white seniors throughout the state, covered the following subjects: Read ing and study habits, literary reading, historical reading, English forms, mathematics, general science, Ameri can history, Latin, and French. The medians of the Asheboro seniors were higher than the average medians for the entire state, on all'subjects ex cept Latin and general science. This fact may be understood when it is explained that Latin is taught in the 8th and 9th grades of the Asheboro school, and French in the 10th and 11th. This being the case, most of the students, especially those making higher scores, chose French, not being required to take the examination on both languages, and left the subject (Please turn to page 4) An Unique Contest Staged At Pair By Local Ice Company An unique contest at the Randolph County Fair was staged by the Ashe boro Ice and Coal Company.

In Conference Here With Congressman Hammer To Secure Stock For High Rock Lake And Other Waters. ! That a State game refuge will be established in Randolph county in the 5^ not far distant future, was the assur ance given yesterday by W. C. Lisk, of Richfield, assistant State game war-, den, who was in Asheboro for a con- j ference with Congressman William C. fr Hammer and E. D. Cranford, member of the State Game Commission. Al though Mr. Lisk would not go into de tails, he explained that definite steps had been taken toward establishing a game refuge in this county. Mr. Lisk, however, wa3 m town specifically to see what could be done about obtaining fish stock from the ? federal bureau of fisheries. He was assured by Congressman Hammer that the government would furnish this stock next spring. It is wanted spe cifically for High Rock Lake, the Yad kin River and muddy streams in gen eral in this section of the State. Mis sissippi channel catfish and crappie are the species of fish desired for stocking purposes. These two species will thrive in waters that are general ly muddy as is the case with lie Yad kin, where such clear water fish as the bass will not do so welL The Mis sissippi catfish, it is pointed out, is a game fish, sometimes attaining a weight of from 40 to 50 pounds. The species is native of Germany, is brown in color, and is said to be the only fish to ever originate in Germany that is considered palatable by American peo ple. Mr. Lisk expresses himself as well pleased with game law observance and ’ enforcement in Randolph county, de- 3 daring R. C.
