Grammar School Will Be Built If Election Carries —High School Pupils Will Go To Seagrove. Approximately 150 voters have reg istered for the special school tax elec tion to be held in Union township on Tuesday, December 17th. The election is to decide whether consolidation will be made of Pisgah, Welch and High Pine school districts and part of Dunn’s Cross Boads.

The exact spot of loca tion of the proposed school building has not been made, and, of course, will not be until it is seen whether the special tax is voted. It is also the purpose of the county school board, should the election car ry, to build a school house in the dis trict for conducting seven grades of school work. High school pupils would be transported to the Seagrove high school until such time that the number became large enough to justi fy the additional grades in the con solidated seventh grade school There is no consolidated school in Union township, only schools afford ing one . and two teachers. It is felt by the hoard of education and those interested in furthering school work in Randolph county that there is no section standing in more dire need of better school facilities than this par ticular township. There is probably no area in the, county so large as that in Union township that does not have better school facilities in every way. An opportunity is now being offered citizens of this community to improve their educational facilities and ad vantages. Ww Rev. Cothran Smith Recovering From An <H>««tionInHoaj»ital Rev. Cothran G.

Hospital For Small Outlay Of Money New and more favorable light has been thrown upon the hospital elec tion situation in Asheboro during the past few days by a statement to the public made by the hospital commit tee. “This committee, it will be re called was appointed some months ago at a public meeting held in the interest of the hospital. This state ment, over the signatures of the members of the committee, clarifies and defines the proposition. Prior to its being made public, hundreds of the citizens of the city hardly knew what the proposition they were to vote on Dec. 31 was anyway. The building of a community hos pital in Asheboro depends in no wise upon the issuing of $25,000 in bonds by both the city and the county. In fact, the county will not be asked for a cent, except $3,600 a year for char ity cases. The proposition at the be ginning was that the city and the county each should issue bonds. But it soon became evident that for the county to issue bonds at this time was out of the question. Interested citizens of means, the committee tells us, will put up $25, 000 if the city will vote a like sum in bonds, while the Duke Foundation will match dollar for dollar, affording Asheboro a $100,000 hospital plant. Mrs. G. S. Bradshaw, , Former Resident Of Asheboro, Is Dead Mrs. George S. Bradshaw, for many years a resident of Asheboro, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. B. C. Vitt, in Greensboro Monday following a.few days’ Qlness of influenza. She was bom and reared in Greensboro and was the daughter of John and Louisa McCulloch. She was married in 1881 to Mr. G. Sam Bradshaw, a practicing attorney of Asheboro, who was later elected Cleric of Court, which office he held successively twelve years. He was also identified with other activities in the county and State in addition to his connec tion as Editor of The Courier. Both Mr. and Mrs. Bradshaw took an ac tive part in religious, civic, social and political affairs. They moved to Greensboro a number of years ago, where Mr. Bradshaw practiced law until a few months prior to his death May 18, 1923. Mjs- Bradshaw’s charming person ality, ber~ind««tifck optimism antf courage, her loyalty to friends, her hospitality and congeniality have won friends for her wherever she went. Her friendships extended not only into the higher ranks but among the lowly as well, and she had the happy faculty of never forgetting kindnesses. Her hospitable homes have at all times been open to her friends and her loyalty has never been questioned. On a recent visit in Asheboro she said “Well I did want to see all my old friends”, calling the names of many both among the white and colored people of the town. She enjoyed life and by her genial, hap py disposition cheered many whose burdens were heavy and hearts were sad. She was stricken with influenza four days prior to her death and pass ed away on account of a weak heart. In her desk was found a note writ ten January, 1928, which gave the plans of her funeral, hymns, names of pall bearers and a beautiful poem which was characteristic of her and her life. The funeral was conducted from the First Presbyterian church, of which she had been a loyal and faithful member since moving tp Greensboro, Dr. Charles F. Myers officiating. The body was laid to rest in Green Hill cemetery. The large number of floral designs repre senting old and new friends attested the high esteem in which Mrs. Brad shaw was held. The following children survive: Mrs. Robert Rosemond, of Columbia, S. C.j Mrs. John Dewey, of Fayetteville; Mrs. B. C. Vitt, of Greensboro; Mrs. Benjamin Robertson, of Dallas, Tex., and John M. Bradshaw, of Wichita Falls, Tex. FARMERS IN EASTERN N. C.

Cost of Construction. 2. Cost of Maintenance. 3. What Control will the Duke Foundation exercise ? 4. Location and Capacity. 5. Will the Town tax rate be af fected ? 6. How it will be controlled. 7.

For a child to be turned out into pouring rain and walk home for lunch through the rain and come back it would certainly be more dangerous to his health than to re main in the school, say until 2:00 or 2:30 o’clock without lunch. Some children do not have a change of clothes and of course would have to remain in school with clothes wet, probably endangering their health permanently* I* yigLflf this,we rec ommend that the cltyriiiard authorize this change in its rolls and regula tions. Newspaper Columnist Tells A Good One On Major Bruce Craven , “Views and Interviews” column in the Raleigh News and Observer last Sunday had this to say with reference to Col. John D. Langston and Ma jor Bruce Craven, of Trinity, two close personal friends: Col. John D. Langston, of Golds boro, and Major Bruce Craven, of Trinity, are as close ‘ in personal friendship as Cols. Damon and Pythias, but is sa'id they have never been known to agree about anything, unless it is Cuba, and voting the Dem ocratic ticket on election. Langston says Craven is a Bolshevist and Cra ven says Langston-is a machine poli tician. In the army in Washington the chief fighting they did was to fight each other over the severity of military discipline. Colonel Langston, asked the other day, if he would sup port Senator Simmons for re-election, is quoted as replying “Yes, I will probably support him, but I can’t make any speeches about it, because if I did, Bruce Craven would be there and demand a joint debate.” “Well, has Bruce got, more sense than you?” he was asked. “No,” said the colonel, “that is just the trouble. He is smart enough, but he hasn’t got any sense at all.” Federal Agents Active Federal prohibition agents arrested 66,195 persons during the fiscal year which ended June 31 last, and assist ed State officers in the arrest of 11, 156 more.

Truly it can be said of her “none knew her but to love her.” Everyone with whom she came in contact with felt the influence of her cheerful Christian spirit. Always look ing on the bright side of life. Often when clouds of sorrow would appear she would remark “not so bad but that it could be worse” showing by this that every cloud has a silver lin ing. She had lived near Farmer in Ran dolph county all her life until three and one-half years ago she came to Candor to visit relatives and had the misfortune to fall and fracture a limb which caused her much suffer ing. Since then she has lived with her neice, Mrs. G. T. Lassiter, of Can dor, until three months ago she went to spend the winter with her nephew, C. W. Birkhead, also of Candor. She was sick just two weeks and the de voted attention of her relatives was beautiful, and while waiting for the divine call she was never in too much paii) to say “thank you” for every little service rendered.
