State School Funds Are Alloted Various Counties And Towns Randolph’s Share Of Slate Funds Reached $159,661.34, Asheboro’s $25,248.74. Distribution of $15,482,27:* in state school funds by counties for 1932-33 has been made public by Leroy Martin, secretary to the state board of equalization.^ Reductions totaling $172,985.54 in general control, operation of plant and transportation budgets were made to partly offset the increase of $203,092.22 in instructional service caused by the addition of 333 new teachers. Teachers’ salaries appropriations Were increased from $12,470,320 to '$12,673,394.22. In addition to the 333 new tea criers the 146 extra teachers paid last year from the emergency fund will be re tained. If the board had increased teach er allotments in proportion to the increase in attendance, 800 additional teachers would have been needed, Martin said in a statement accom panying the figures. Instead of considering the 39,039 increase in attendance as a whole, the I board made allotments by individual schools and kept the increase to a minimum, Martin said. Instructional service was the only budget item increased. The budget for general control was reduced from $526,055 to $491,076; for operation of plant from $870,010 to $810,718, and for transportation from $1,615,912.18 to $1,537,197.64. Randolph’s allotment was $269, 661.34, while that for the Asheboro school was $25,248.74.

A Second Primary Is In The Offing-, With Bowie And Grist Pledging Support To Asheville Lawyer. With only 16 of the 1.823 precincts in the state missing, Robert R. Reynolds, Asheville lawyer and wet candidate fcr the Democratic nomination for United States Senator, had piled up a lead of approximately 12,000 votes: over his next highest opponent, Senator Cameron Morrison. The vote stood: Reynolds, 150,049; Mor rison, 138,605; Bowie, 37,860; Crist 28,550; Arthur Simmons, 3,875. Mr. Reynolds, though a novice in politics when compared with the long political career of Senator Mor rison, proved himself to be a vigor ous campaigner. He visited as far as possible every section of the state and pushed his campaign to the limit. Senator Morrison and prohibition were the targets of his vigorous at tack, and the voters rallied to his banner. Tam C. Bowie, of West Jefferson, bitter foe of Morrison, polled a sur prisingly low vote as did Frank D. Grist, labor commissioner, whose vote was negligible. Arthur Simmons, Burlington poultryman, was tardy in the race. Senator Morrison, who was ap pointed by Governor Gardner to fill the unexpired term of Senator Over-, man, has signified his intention of taking the battle for the nomination into a second primary, which will be held on Saturday, July 2. Reynolds avers he is ready for the struggle and will have the support of Tan C Bowie, who has stated he has t n fee strong reasons for enlist ng under the Reynolds banner. It has been staled also that Mr. Grist will support the Asheville lawyer. The second primary will be on- of the hardest fought in North Garoijna, probably harder than that hetween Morrison and Gardner, when ri/iii were running for the Democratic nomination for Governor, with Mor rison winning in the second race by a small margin. Both Reynolds Whichever wins in the second pri mary will have to oppose the veteran Jake F. Newell, Republican nominee of Charlotte, strong campaigner and a militant dry. Judge Johnson Hayes To Deliver Address Here Sunday, June 12 Kon. Johnson J. Hayes, of Greens boro, federal judge of the middle- dis trict of North Carolina will address the public on Sunday afternoon, June 32th, at 2:30 p. m., in the old fair grounds building, now usdd as an exposition building, on North Fay etteville street. Judge !Hayes is a fearless man, able judge and an interesting speaker. A free will offering will be taken for the benefit of the Salvation Army. Special music will be render ed by Bob England and his English men and there will be special songs by different churches. Formal Opening Of New Swimming Pool Set For Thursday Of interest to many people in Asheboro and in this section is the announcement of the opening cf frog wood Lake in Dogwood Acres. The formal opening will be held Thurs day with free swimming to all child ren who have their own suits during the afternoon. “Slim” Presnell is owner and manager of the Lake and states that the lake is now almost entirely filled with pure spring water. The place is so arranged that no surface water can enter the lake proper. Around the place the grounds have been cleared to afford ample parking and picnicing grounds. A dancing pavilion and cold drink stand are also a part of the entertainment offered. This lake fills a need long felt and expressed by Asheborowho found it inconvenient 'to dn^e'^ifcme distance to the nearest placpmo swim, which was in another, couijfcy. The lake will be safe for poor swimmers and children for reason that a senior life guard will be in constant attendance. Jimmy Har rington has been secured for this place and will be able tfc give.^ihr struction in Red Cross Life Sk-nng and issue certificates for those who wish to take the course. Two Farmers Dead Two well known Chatham county farmers, James A. Brewer and John T. Dorsett, both of whom lived three miles east -of Siler City, and who had been neighbors for years, died within two hours of each other Sun day. Leading Southern Pines citizens have wired Senator Josiah Bailey in protest against the building of a new postoffice in their town. Pre vailing economic stress does not justify the expenditure of federal funds, is the argument used against the move. isayi lelebrat lesday Miss Ellen Mci Braxton Crai monv In Soutl Birthday Thomas Alfred ed 70th Birthdifl With Famil Ramseur, June 6. prise marriage was day when Miss Elle came ■ the bride of a iSouth Carolina cit for the ceremony, popular daughter of J.

Ehringhaus Leads Field In Race For Governor With Fountain Far Behind John Christopher Blucher Ehring haus, of Elizabeth City, is so far ahead of his next nearest opponent in the race for Democratic nomination for Governor of North Carolina there will very likely be no second primary. With only 7 more precincts in the state to be heard from concerning Saturday’s primary results, Mr. Ehringhaus has 165,942 votes again st 113,112 for Richard T. Fountain and 100,875 for Allen J. Maxwell. The total vote, 379,929, was larg er than had been predicted and was 20,000 more than ever before polled in a Democratic primary in North Carolina. Mr. Fountain has privilege of ask ing for a second primary, though the Ehringhaus lead is so large he will probably not do so. However, he has stated he would announce his decision Saturday. In some counties in the state the voting was unusually heavy, while in others it was light. The vote was especially heavy in those counties in which primaries were held for county officers. In several counties Mr. Ehringhaus led both Fountain and Maxwell, while in others Max well and Fountain were leaders. The vote generally, however, was divided between the three candidates, Mr. Ehringhaus getting advantage of the size. Graham Nominated Returns from 1,607 precincts for other state offices showed the nomi nation of A. H. “Sandy” Graham, speaker of the state house of repre sentatives in 1029 for lieutenant gov ernor. The vote was Graham 177,107; Giles, 47,797 and Dellinger, 51,617. Stacy Wade appeared certain of nomination for secretary of state, but there are still enough votes to be ac counted for in that race to upset him should they all be adverse, but this was considered unlikely as he had piled up a 23.000 lead on the returns from every section of the Church Circle Has Arranged A Concert By Miller’s Pupils Outstanding Music Pupils Of H. Grady Miller To Give A Concert Here 14th. Circle No. 2 of the First M. E. church has arranged with H. Grady Miller, director of music in Greens^ of his mitstanding pupils in a con cert of vocal and instrumental music on Tuesday evening, June 14th, at 8:30 o’clock in the Asheboro high school auditorium. Greensboro high school has for the last several years won out in the state music contest, but this year they had a greater victory than eve) before, having won 212 points. Char lotte, their closest competitor, win ning 152 points. There were around 180 students who took part in this contest. There are ten of these boys and girls who will take part in this concert. There will be numbers by the boys’ quar tette, tenor soloist, baritone soloist and bass soloLst, all of which won first place. There will also be numbers by the string quartette, violinist and cellist, all of which won first place. The accompaniments will be played by Miss Kathryn Tate, who took first place in the piano event. She will also be heard in a group of piano solos. Miss Martha Nell Carson, the soprano soloist, who has won first place for the last two years will also appear on the pro gram. The details of the program are be ing carefully worked out by Mr. Miller and it is expected to be one of the outstanding musical events of the year. The admission will be 15 cents for children and 25 cents for adults. Bible School Opens Monday, June 13, In M, E. Church, Here The Union Vacation Bible School, which is sponsored by the various churches of the town, will begin in the Methodist Episcopal church Mon day morning, June 13, at 9 o’clock, and continue for two weeks. R. J. Hilker is superintendent and the corps of teachers will be made up with representatives from the dif ferent churches co-operating.

Lowdermilk, retired Methodist Protestant minister who resides in Greensboro, sustained a fractured hip when he lost his bal ance while picking cherries from a tree in his yard Tuesday. Mr. Low dermilk is a brother of Mrs. C. F. Smith, of Asheboro. He was bom and reared in Randolph county and is one of the three living charter members of the Methodiftt Protestant church in Asheboro. Mr. Lowder milk’s friends and relatives join in the thought, that he- was a little too venturesome for one of his age. He. at first thought his accident would have no serious results but his condition warranted _hk going to. Wesley Long hospital where x-rays revealed that his hip was broken. j|e is »lsn suffering from minor 'bruises. state. He had 148,126 to 124,815 for Hartness, incumbent. Baxter Durham continued to hold a commanding lead for state auditor, but did not have a clear majority. He had 129,113 to 84,924 for Chester Bell and 48,945 for George Adams. Attorney General Dennis G. Bruni mitt appeared certain of renomina tion, having polled 180,945 to 71,196 for Peyton McSwain of Shelby. Lawrence Still Hias Chance In the race for commissioner of labor. Roy Lawrence, of Winston Salem still had a fighting chance to beat out Clarence Mitchell for run ner up and the right to contest with A. L. Fletcher, the leader in the sec ond primary. Likewise, Mitchell was not far behind Fletcher with a possi ble vote of scores of thousands yet to be accounted for. Fletcher had 63, 909; Mitchell, 61,246; Lawrence, 52, 840; John D. Norton, 37,557; W. Henry Davis, 28,601, and B. Fritz Smith 19,039. Stanley Winborne appeared headed for certain renomination to the cor poration commission, his vote being almost double that of E. C. Macon. The count was Winborne, 161,289; Macon, 86,340. Dan C. Boney, insurance commis sioner, more than doubled his op ponent, W. D. Morton. It stood Boney 171,075; Morton, 81,794. The state board of elections is to canvass the vote Friday, instead of Saturday, because of the Democratic county conventions on the regular day. The canvass is expected to pro duce definite statements from all runners up who may have the right to demand a second primary. There was but one race on the Re publican side. In this Jake F. Newell, of Charlotte, was opposed for the nomination for United States Senate by George DePriest, of Shelby. Mr. Newell polled 587 votes against 3 for DePriest. Two of the DePriest votes are said to have been cast in error. Thomas J.

Coletrane, a well known j resident of Randolph county, who has j , lived for many years on a large farm j .near Sophia. died_ from a heart at tack early Sunday mom frig while still in bed asleep. Mr. Coletrane had been in his usual state of health when he retired Saturday night and his death was a shock to his fami-, ly and friends.

He was seventy-two! years old. Funeral and burial services were held at Marlboro Friends church Tuesday afternoon at 4:00 o’clock with Rev. L. W. McFarland, of High Point and Rev. T. J.

Interesting: Talk Made By Dr. Sumner Local M. P. Church Dr. G. H. Sumner made a very in teresting address to the M. P. con gregation last Sunday, night. The message was carefully arranged and full of practical information for all. He spoke of the three parts of a life, mental, spiritual and physical, but leaving the first two to the teachers and preachers, he dwelt on the phy sical. He emphasized the care of the body through proper sleeping, eatinja exercise, cleanliness and hab its. He told how this is best done by thinking of the other person as well as our selves. J. K.
