R. Pugh, who lives in High Point. The ancient epistle, written in script letters, is dated August 9th, 1931. Speaking generally of health and conditions in Baltimore, the writer says: “I have seen more in one hour here than I would in six months in Ran dolph." Telling of the construction of a rail road engine, the letter says, in part: “Mr. Wan! is at present engaged in this city, making a steam wagon to run on one of the rail roads.

Scientific devices are being effec tively utilized in the illicit distilling business in this part of the country, it was revealed Wednesday when a group of officers raided a modem liquor factory at a point five miles southeast of Liberty, ‘in Ralidolph county. Equipment found by the raiders in cluded a 40-gallon still, two copper condensers, an oil burner and com pressed air. The compressed air was used in forcing kerosene oil into the burner. Nearby were 600 gallons of beer, indicative of extensive manufac turing operations. It was believed that the plant had been there about two months, and during that time a large amount of com liquor evidently was distilled. About 600 yards from the distillery the officers saw Bob Walters, of the White Oak section. He promptly ran, but after a short chase he was taken in custody. The still was dismantled and the beer was poured into the soil. Walters was taken to Greensboro for preliminary hearing and bound over to federal court.

' Are Eight Districts Boundaries Of Districts Specifi cally Defined By District Engineer. It was published unofficially in this newspaper several weeks ago how the county was divided into eight high way districts under the new state wide road law, and the boundaries of these designated subdivisions. Names of foremen and helpers were also giv en. Following, however, is the official designation of districts and foremen and other pertinent information about Randolph roads under the new high way management, received Tuesday from the district office: Appointment of eight section fore men who will be responsible for the maintenance of Randolph county high ways has been announced by D. M. Rae, Division Engineer of Mainten ance Division No. 3. Mr. Rae and J. W. Jenkins, District Engineer, in charge of maintenance in Alamance, Chatham and Randolph counties, requested that these fore men be communicated with in case of emergency in their sections. In case of washed out bridges, ob structions across highways, and simi lar emergency conditions which im perial travelers along the highways it is especially important that the section foremen be notified at once. Much property damage and loss of life may be averted if Randolph coun ty residents will inform themselves concerning the location of the fore man in charge of their section, and notify him of all dangerous conditions along the highways. Under the supervision of each sec tion foreman will be approximately 100 miles of highways and it is vir tually impossible for each man to keep in close personal touch with all the roads unless he has the full co operation of the people living along these roads.

Wilkerson possesses a copy of the old book and it is from this volume that the quotation was taken. Jobe Scott was a preacher, so of course his veracity cannot be doubt ed.

(Please turn to page 4) Randolph Creamery But Decide To Close It For The Present—Creamery Has Serv ed Great Need. Stockholders and creditors of the Randolph Creamery in meeting Friday decided to close the plant for the pre sent, until arrangements could be made for its reopening. It is hoped that this may be done at no late date. The Randolph Creamery was or ganized about four years ago. It was splendidly equipped, being considered one of the finest little plants in the state. O. J. Hill, experienced cream ery operator, was placed in charge. At the time of the organization of the plant there was hardly enough cream produced in the county to fur nich the plant with raw material suf ficient for continuous operation, but stations were established outside the county and sufficient cream secured to keep the plant going. A good busi ness was built up both in the buying of cream and milk from farmers in Randolph and adjoining counties and in the sale of the creamery’s product. But the time came when outgo ex ceeded income and the creamery got in a bad way, so much so that it was found necessary by the stockholders to close it down. The business had lost for several months and especially so during the past six months. The creamery has paid out thou sands of dollars for cream and milk to RandjlpL .-canty farmers and has afforded a steady income for many of them. Tne company, of course, owes farmers for their July deliveries of cream and milk, but in only a few instances are these amounts large. Those who have been sending their product to the creamery here, it is understood, will not lack for market, since there are such establishments at High Point, Burlington, Albemarle and Lexington which will go after the business in this county. The Guilford County Cooperative Dairymen’s Association has already established a cream station at Ashe boro, at present at the Randolph Creamery plant, and has already se cured some cream from this county, having taken up a supply last week. It is presumed this practice will be continued for the present at least.
