D. Gregg, Of Lib erty, Is A Candidate For G. O. P. State Chairmanship. The Randolph county Republicans met in convention in the court bouse Saturday afternoon with approximate ly 100 members of the party m at tendance and W. L. Ward presiding. C. N. Cox was re-elected county chair man and W. F. Redding, Jr., re-elect ed secretary. The meeting was a rather spiritless affair until A. I. Ferree injected a little life into it by discussing the new election law, and especially that clause in the act which called for tfee selection of ten names in each precinct from which the chair man of the county board of elections is to select one marker. He moved that these ten names be submitted from each precinct and that they be enrolled in a dub to be known as the “Two Hundred and Ninety Marker Club.” This was carried. Delegates were selected to the State convention which is in meeting today in Charlotte. Motion was made by W. F. Talley,' of Randleman, to in struct the delegation for Dr. J. D. Gregg for State chairman. It was explained, however, by Liberty dele gates that Dr. Gregg preferred the delegation to be uninstructed. This apparently was pleasing to the con vention, the leaders of which appear to have been heartily for 0. R. York, High Point postmaster, for the State chairmanship, and it is not considered unlikely that Mr. York will obtain the 85 convention votes from Ran dolph. Dr. Gr^gg was not present at the county convention Saturday.

A movement has been Tinder way for some time to get Mr, Coolidge to seek Republican nomination for the Senate from Massachusetts, the G. O. P. leaders believing he will be the on ly man who will stand any chance of election to that post this fall from that state. Mr. Coolidge fears, he states, that his being in the Senate might embarrass the administration. He it not a candidate for the Presidency in 1932, he stated also. Meanwhile his friends are still discussing him as a probable Senatorial candidate.

Lestock Reid in the Wide World magazine. “In its crowded, brilliant-colored streets, the. latest Rolls-Royce crawls along behind the most primeyal bullock-cart, and po lice and soldiers in ultra-modem and very Germanic uniforms (save for the royal guard) rub shoulders with civilians clad in the most primitive of eastern robes. “You can take a taxi and find it a much better and more powerful car than those that ply for hire in New York or Paris, but the drivers are so incredibly ignorant that they have to be directed street by street, even if your destination is the royal palace itself! “If you don’t care for a taxi you eta have a rickshaw—probably the earliest form of wheeled transport— tad direct the coolie (always pre suming you know the way yourself) by the ^le pracm of saying: 4fct cross -thetyta Good Friday Union Chufch Services At The Holiness Church With All Congregations In Town Taking Part—Change Hour Services.

TAX LISTING IS GOING ALONG SLOWLY IN TOWN Although the tax listers for Ashe boro township has been in the court house each day now for ten days, people have been slow to list proper ty. True, the last few days have wit nessed the usual last minute rush, but there are still hundreds of proper ty owners in Asheboro who have not listed.

Unhealthy To Try To Rob Sechrest’s Gasoline Station Lane NeaL Young Chatham Man, Tried It And Is In Jail With Bullet Wound. Shot At Sechrest And Filling Station Proprietor Returned Fire And Then Captured Assailant. Lane Neal, young Chatham county white man, is in Randolph county jail here with a bullet hole through his groin as the result of his attempts to rob Ed Sechrest at the latter’s filling station on the Asheboro-High Point road Friday night. Neal was shot by Sechrest after the holdup man had fired a shot over Sechrest’s head as a warning to hand over his cash with out further argument or comment. Neal entered Sechrest’s filling sta tion Friday night, telling a boy who was sitting just outside the door to go in and hand over his cash. The boy advised Neal that he was not owner of the station, whereupon Neal, with the boy in front, went inside the sta tion and found Sechrest taking money from the cash drawer preparatory to closing for the night. Fires Over Head He demanded of Sechrest that he hand over his money, and when Sechrest delayed fired a shot over his head. Sechrest then pulled his own gun and shot Neal in the groin. The young man made a dash for his car which was parked just outside the filling station with the engihe run ning. Sechrest then fired two shots at the gas tank, thinking the robber would attempt a get away. However, Neal ran down the road, leaving his car. A few minutes later he returned to the filling station with hands up to surrender. He had thrown his gun away but Sechrest forced him to go back and retrieve his gun, which was handed to officers on their arrival. The wounded man was taken to High Point where his wounds were dressed and then turned over to Ran dolph county officers and brought to jail in Asheboro.

HOW THEY DRIVE OUT SMALbPOX IN INDIA Whereas in the west the scourges of smallpox and cholera are dealt with by scientific methods, in the east the people have the greatest faith in enlisting the help of devil worshipers. As these diseases are caused by devils it appears only rea sonable that stronger forces should be used to drive them away. In some cases a small image is made of the goddess of smallpox and this is placed just beyond the boundary of the vil lage. But in others the incantations of the devil worshipers are made use of. A good many ceremonies have to be performed and offerings made before the work is complete, and the poor villagers have to find a con siderable amount of money to pay the agents. An important part of the ceremony is that of killing a cock which is then thrown into the river after the blood has been sprinkled on Appears Asheboro’s Population Doubled During: Past 10 Years Enumeration of population in East ward of Asheboro has been completed and the results tabulated. There are 804 people in this ward, and of this number 17 are unem ployed and one is Mind. Enumera tion in the other wards is about complete but the figures hare not been tabulated. Since the East ward is the smallest in the city, it can be safely predicted that when returns from the ether three are in population of Asheboro will ap proximate 5,000 people.

Shaw, former Governor of tary of the Treasury Roosevelt will deliver Political Cross Fire Waging With Both Parties Split Republicans Are Split Over Tariff And Farm Relief, With East Against West Democrats Split Too Guns Are Directed At Raskob, But War Is Not As Bitter As That Against Huston. Washington, April 14.—With Wash ington as the stage there is now in progress one of the most remarkable cross fires of politics this country has witnessed in recent years. Both par ties are split asunder from keel to stern, the Republicans on economics such as'farm relief and the tariff ar raying the West against the East, and the Democrats on account prohibition arraying the South against the North. The battle started in the Senate com mittee on lobbying. The chairman of that committee, Senator Caraway of Arkansas, is a strongly partisan! Democrat. Months ago Caraway took the floor in the senate and drew a vivid picture of how lobbying if it were not stopped, would destroy the government. The lobbyists were des cribed as an army of cormorants and parasites feeding and fattening in Washington on the credulity and ig norance of the American public as to how legislation was enacted and at tempting to corrupt congress and oth er branches of the government. Sena tor Caraway persuaded the senate to appoint a committee on lobbying and he was made its chairman. The committee is composed of two Democrats and three Republicans, but two of the three Republicans are Western insurgents. The committee is therefore more Democratic in trend than Republican and its investigations have produced a peck of trouble for (Please turn to page 8) Wholesale Grocery At Liberty Damaged By Fire On Tuesday Liberty, April 16.—Fire Tuesday night gutted the interioi*of the Moore Homaday wholesale grocery store, in flicting loss estimated at several thousand dollars.

The Court passed on a restraining or der that had no reference to the pend ing suit of Payne vs Commissioners. According to Major Craven, the $100,000 bond issue is dead and will stay dead, and so dead in fact that not even the Supreme Court can breathe life into it. It is understood that there has never been any protest against whatever bonds are necessary to pay the outstanding indebtedness al ready incurred for the school building at Franklinville, and that a new bond issue may be ordered fox' this amount, but Major Craven says that he has had it demonstrated to him that the people of Randolph County are with him in opposing any new debts in this county for any purpose without a vote of the people.

Moring was honored by the pres ence of his four daughters, his sons in-law and his grandchildren.
