Roar Of The Dragon
At Sunset Theatre

Dragon," the new Richard Dix film
now at the Sunset Theatre, Friday
and Saturday.
With the withdrawal of Chinese
troops to face a foreign foe, the
small interior towns became a prey
to ravaging bands of Mongol ban
dits. American missionary homes
and colleges were ransacked. Tour
ists were kidnapped. Wide towns
were pillaged and chaos and terror
reigned.
RKO Radio Pictures has painted a
vivid panorama of this condition as
-< a background for romantic love and
adventure story in "Roar of the
Dragon,” directed on a spectacular
scale by Wesley Ruggles, who made
“Cimarron” such an epic.
Besides bringing a realistic pic
ture of the Orient today, the film
introduces an exotic, new foreign ac
tress to the screen in Gwili Andre,
beautiful Danish blonde, who makes
her appearance opposite Dix.
Others in the large cast are Ed
ward Everett Horton, ZaSu Pitts,
Arline Judge, Dudley Digges, Wil
liam Orlamond, Arthur Stone and
Tasha Muri, Japanese dancer.

Randolph Demncr
Ticket At Convei
Randolph county Democrats, large
in number and still stronger in en
thusiasm, gathered at the school
house in Asheboro Saturday after
i noon, heard an address on national
issues by United States Senator
Josiah William Bailey, and nominat
ed a splendid ticket for the Novem
ber election.
The convention was called to order

thanking the Democrats of the coun
ty for their splendid work in the
1930 election and predicting that
they would do even better next
November for Robert R. Reynolds
and the rest of the Democratic tick
et.
“I am here to make a speech for
the whole Democratic ticket,” said
Mr. Bailey. “I am here to speak
in behalf of the candidate for the
presidency, Mr. Roosevelt, and for
your candidate for constable. If
you and I do our duty in the com
ing November as other Democrats
will do their duty, we will bring a
deliverance to a distressed people.
I am for the Ehringhaus-Reynolds
ticket and for the RooseveiV Gamer
ticket and everybody under those
flags. It must be a united party
this fall.”
Ticket Nominated
Following Mr. Bailey’s speech the
convention got down to the business
of nominating a ticket. The State
Senate nominated was first in order.
Attorney John T. Brittain, of Ashe
boro, placed Major Bruce Craven, of
Trinity, in nomination and this was
seconded by Z. H. Rush, of Aehe
boro. It was explained by J. R.

'the death of Smith Reynolds a month
or more ago, at his home at Reynol
ds. During the week, Ab Walker,
young friend and secretary of the
dead man, has been taken into cus

in seclusion. Mrs. Reynolds, how- ;
ever, came to Wentworth, where

self up to the court. Her father,
Alfred Holman, a Cincinnati attorn

Winston-Salem, where he had a con
ference with Solicitor Carlysle Hig
gins and other court officials who
agreed to bond for the young wo- i
man.
The date of the trial has not been
decided upon, but it is said that the
widow desired to have the trial over
as speedily as possible. ,

Decision Made To Open Asheboro
City Schools On Twelfth September
The date for opening of the Ashe
boro city schools was set at a meet
ing of the school board Tuesday eve
ning. It was the decision of the
board -to open the white and colored
schools of the town September 12th,
the date for the opening of the
county schools.
A few changes in the faculty were
also announced after the meeting.
The only change in the elementary
school was the election of Miss
Thyra Wright for the third grade.
Miss Wright will replace Miss Lu
[ cille Rankin, of Salisbury, who re
signed in the spring. Miss Wright
has taught at Seagrove and several
schools in the county. She is a
graduate of Elon College and a
daughter of Postmaster F. M.
Wright, of Asheboro.
Another change announced was the
Election of H. B. Campbell as math
teacher to replace Adam Hunt, who
resigned in the spring to accept the
place of principal of Gray’s Chapel
school. Mr. Campbell is a graduate
of High Point College in 1930 and
hag had some experience teaching
since his graduation. While at High
Point College, he was captain of the
football team, and was a member of
the newspaper staff of the college.
It is possible that an additional
teacher may be added to the ele
mentary staff, but definite announce
ment has not yet been made.
Professor C. A. Barrett, who was
head of the colored school last
year, will again manage that school.
Addition to White School
Work has begun on an addition to
the school which was brought about
by necessity. The children have
been so crowded for several years
that an addition was needed, but last
year it was obviously a necessity
with children seated in the library
and in the chapel at times. After
much thought and discussion of
plans and, with due consideration to
financial conditions, it was decided
that a wooden addition at the south
Lambeth Endorses 5
Day Week In Speech
At Labor Gathering
Enlarged Public Building Pro
gram Also Given Approval
7th District Member.
At ti»e state -meeting pC the Caro
lina Federation' of Labor held in
Winston-Salem the first three days
of this week many notable speakers
were present and discussed economic
conditions of the day. Among the
speakers was Congressman Walter
Lambeth, of Thomasville, of the sev
enth congressional district. Mr.
Lambeth’s address was brief, but
exceedingly pointed. He praised the
present day wholesome ideals of or
ganized labor, declared Samuel
Gompers a “great wartime states
man,” characterized William Green
a great successor and referred to
Matthew Woll, of Washington, as a
really great economist.
He stated that one major problem
faced legislators, state and national,
and that was unemployment. In
this respect, he said, he felt that
governmental adoption of the fur
lough plan among its employees was
a step in the right direction. He
said that a five-day week should
follow. He advanced as his other
governmental remedy—so far as the
government is able to offer a
remedy—an enlarged public building
program.
“Invention has made machinery
master of man,” he declared. “We
must find a statesmanship which
can make man master of ma
chinery.”
He stated that old age pensions
should be worked out to prevent suf
fering henceforth. He averred that
the country’s statesmanship has for
a long time devoted too much atten
tion to “dividends" and not enough
to the human element.
City Park Scene Of
Annual Reunion Of j
Kearns-Wood Family
More than two hundred members
of the Kearns and Wood families
and invited guests gathered at the

DR. SHEPHERD A RECENT
VISITOR IN TRINITY
Trinity, Aug. 9.—Mr. and Mrs. G.
L. Robbins and family had as
their guest last week, Mrs. Robbins’
cousm, Dr. J. E. Shepherd, of
Oyster Bay, N. Y. Dr. Shepherd is
employed as physician on a passen
ger liner from New York to the
West Indes.
The Consolidated Textile Mills at
Lynchburg, Vs., employed 900 addi
tional hantfrlhst week.
\
end. of the building was the logical
place for these needed two rooms.
The new rooms will be connected
with the main building and will be
heated by the main plant. It is
probable that the new rooms will be
used for high school students, as this
is where the chief congestion was
found last year. It is expected that
an even larger enrollment than last
year will be the case this year, and
■Superintendent R. J. Hilker is of
the opinion that this addition will,
in a measure, take care of the in
crease.
Wallace Winborne
Named Chairman
State Democrats
At Meeting Of The State Exe
cutive Committee Held In
Capital Tuesday Night.
Selection Is Pleasing
To Democrats Of State As A
Body—Mrs. Thomas O’Berry
Named Vice-Chairman.
Democrats throughout the ' state
will look with interest upon the
chairman of North Carolina Democ
racy, J. Wallace Winbome, promi
nent attorney of Marion, who was
chosen at the state executive meet
ing at Raleigh Tuesday night. Mr.
Winbome is well known in the
state and was chosen by acclamation
to succeed Odus M. Mull, of Shelby,
who has piloted the ship for some
time. There was dissatisfaction at
the selection of Mr. Winbome by
some of the prospective candidates
for the place, especially Judge Tam
C. Bowie, who “spoke out in meet
ing,” but the selection will, in all
probability, prove pleasing to the
Democracy of the state.
In his speech of acceptance, Mr.
Winborne appointed John Bright
Hill, of Wilmington, the Reynolds
primary campaign manager, as sec
retary to the committee, but Mr.
Hill refused to come forward at the
call of Chairman O. M. Mull.
“I will accept only if Bob Reyn
olds asks, insists, wants and begs
Wve-to,’’. Mbr. Hill informed newspaper
mem, immediately after the meeting.
Later a* the Sir Walter Hotel, Mr.
Hill held a brief conference with Mr.
Reynolds and a number of his cam
paign advisers and announced that
he wou}d have no statement “for a
day or two."
“I musrt have time to think it ov
er," said Mr. Hill, adding that ac
ceptance would mean considerable
sacrifice on his part which at the
moment he was not sure he could
make.
Mrs. Thomas O’Berry, of Golds
boro, was named vice-chairman. This
selection was also made by acclama
tion on the record Mrs. O’Berry has
made for herself in previous cam
paigns.
