As Joe Bane, radio entertainer, ■the star has -many opportunities to sing—which he does not only for the broadcasting station, but from pris on where he is sent as the result of an accidental Killing. Jolson does not resort to burnt cork in "Say It With Songs," since his audiences, supposedly never see him. Although he sings a group of songs that will be heard around the world, he plays the part of a man who considers himself a hopeless failure. "Say It With Songs” is the most tenderly emotional of all Jolson’s stories. It was written by Darryl Zanuek and Harvey H. Gates and the talk ing scenario is by Joseph Jadkson. Davey Lee, four-year-old baby star, again shares honors with Jolson in a cast which indudes Marian Nixon, Holmes Herbert, Kenneth Thompson and Fred Kohler.

Route 90 Left Out In Cold In April State Road Letting That the more than $5,000,000 in road construction projects now un der way in the state road system up to date is stated by M. R. Dunnagan, Raleigh correspondent, in reviewing these projects, Listed in the projects still under construction is the topsoiling of ten miles of No. 90 east of Lexington. This is a continuation of the project begun a year ago and proposed for completion last fall. Indications now are that it .still, prdbahly be opened for traffic about June 1 or shortly thereafter.* jg.-.- i? . ■«- - ESariy in the year a list of pro posed construction projects was sent out by a Raleigh correspondent but the story was quickly corrected. This list included the linking up off the gaps in Highway 90 between Pittsboro and Apex and between Fork and Mocks ville, Davie county. Neither of these •are included in the April 1929 letting. There is ten miles of widening No. 10 east of Greensboro, perhaps the largest project in the fifth district for the April letting. $45,000 IN 1929 TAXES RANDOLPH UNCOLLECTED There still remain taxes to the amount of approximately $45,000 of the 1929 levy uncollected in Randolph counity, according to Sheriff Millikan.

Town Of Archdale Shows Tremendous Growth In Decade Population Increased From 178 In 1820 To 638 In 1930, Or About 350 Per Cent. Trinity Increases Too But Not So Much As Archdale— New Hope And Grant Town* ships Show Big Losses. Probably no .town in Randolph county will show a greater increase in population, after 1930 census figures are tabulated, than Archdale. According to A. I. Ferree, eight dis trict census supervisor, the population of Archdale, as shown by census just completed, is 638, or an increase of more than 350 per cent over 178 in 1920. "The town of Trinity also made a gain, but not so large as Archdale. The 1930 census places the population of Trinity it 554, a gain of 154 in 10 _yearfc. Pleasant Grove township, Randolph county, shows an increase in popula tion of 45, there being 467 people ii» the township as against 422 in 1920. New Hope township shows a de crease in population of 203, the 1930 census given the township 884 people, while in 1920 the population of the township was 1,087. Grant township shows a loss of 118 people, there being 876 in the precinct as against 990 in 1920. Complete tabulations have not been made in Asheboro, a re-check being made in some of the wards, but ap proximately 4,700 people have been enumerated and it is expected the number will reach 5,000. This will represent an increase of1 about 100 per cent in ten years. SENATE COMMITTEE VOTES AGAINST JUDGE "PARKER It appears that Circuit Judge John J. Parker, of Charlotte, has little chance becoming a member of the Supreme Court of (the United States, though nominated for this high place by President Hoover and supported generally by bar associations over the country. Immediately after Parker’s nomination, organized labor began a fight on him and apparently has suc ceeded m defeating him Labor’s posi tion against "Parker is sald' to he due to a decision which he rendered once upholding a „ controversy between a coal mining company and its employes. The Senate judiciary committee on Monday voted against Parker by 10 to 6. Chances for Parker now are gloomy. Not in 36 years before had the judiciary committee stamped its disapproval on a nominee for Supreme Cburt justice, and it is not likely the Senate will override the committee in this instance, something which it has never done before. Mansfield-Garrett The following will be of interest to many friends of the bride who has visited in Asheboro from time to time: Mr. and Mrs. Henry A. Garrett an - nounce the marriage of their daugh ter, Vista Sykes, to Mr. W. Dailey Mansfield on Sunday, April the twentieth nineteen hundred and thirty, Burlington, North Carolina. A. A.

If The Census Enumerator Has Missed You, Fill Out The Blank Below And Mail At Once Have you and the members of your family been enumerated in the census, which began April 2. If not, you should see.to it at once that your names are placed on the census roll. For convenience of any whom the census takers have missed, there is a coupon elsewhere in this issue which you are asked to fill out and mail the census supervisor. It costs nothing more than a 2 cent stamp, and it will mean much for your community and to you* self, of course, to have your name enrolled on the census rolls. It is important for the welfare of the city of Asheboro that every mag, woman- and child in the corporated limits be enumerated. The census figures stand for ten years. For Ashe boro to get the utmost benefit which may be derived from a large popula tion, it is necessary that every person in the city be enumerated. Don't Attempt To Escape From The Randolph County Jail Foiled .Tailor Brookshire Gets On To Racket And Wholesale De- ' livery Frustrated. Between 10:00 and 11:00 o’clock Sunday night Jailor T. A. Brookshire and Mrs. Brookshire were attracted by the soand of hack saws at work on the bars of the windows of the first floor in the rear of the jail. When Mr. Brookshire went into the large room where 12 men, who are road force prisoners, are kept, he found four hack saw blades. Several of the men had on their shoes and appeared sure of their escape. Mr. Brookshire suspects relatives and Sunday visitors of aiding in the {dot by slipping the instruments to the men. This will, cause a tightening of the reins on visitors to the Randolph Jail. Later on in the night, Mr. and Mrs. Brook shire were attracted by a car moving slowly up and down the street behind the jail and shining the lights on the side street which had apparently been set for the meeting. It was the opin ion of officers that a car was ready to take the men away after they finished with the saws. Not only did 'the car continue to pass up and down but one person became bold, and perhaps anxi ous, and came near the jail in the honeysuckle vines growing thickly be hind the building. Mr. Brookshire surprised this man by walking around the premises, and after he had fired 3 shots in the air as a warning was not bothered further.

Responsive to the growing demand on the part of players of miniature golf, Messrs. E. D. Cranford and H. L. Ingram have under constructon a miniature course on the vacant lot on Salisbury street and lying between the new Standard oil filling station and the cemetery. The course has been laid out by an expert and is being con structed under his supervision. The course is similar .to that which was recently constructed on Highway 90, just outside the western corporate limits of the city. take any chances. If the census tak ers have not seen you, or you are practically certain they did not enroll your name, fill out the coupon and mail it at once to the census super visor. Or, if you have time, call to see him. If you know of any person whose name has not been gotten, send that information in also. The census supervisor will do the rest. If every person within the corporat ed limits of Asheboro is enumerated in the census, we may expect a popu lation of 5,000, or Just about double the population ten years ago. This will not include, of course, the people in those populous areas especially to the north and west of the city. Let each and every citiaen do his part to get the name of every person in Ashe boro on the census rolls. Don’t wait for n more convenient time, do it now. .■■..I..,.-,! ...- —'' Death Of Hobart Richardson Shock To TheCommunity Popular Young: Man Died Sud denly At His Home In Burlington Saturday.
