Announce Marriage
Of Sam Miller And
Miss Mozelle Frazier
The announcement of the marrage
of Miss Mozelle Frazier, of Staley,
tI°,S- W. Miller, of Asheboro, on
July 9, last, came as a pleasant sur
prise to the many friends and ad
mirers of the young couple.

ter of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Frazier,
of Staley. She graduated at Mars
Hill College with the class of 1931.

at Staley for a year entered Wake
Forest law school. He received hir
LLB degree from that institution at

IN MEMORY OF MY MOTHER,
MRS. FLORA ELLISON
Precious mother, how I’ve missed
you,
Since from me you went away.
Just two months ago you left us;
Long and sad has been each day.
I have tried so hard to follow
The paht you taught me to go
But without your hand to guide me
It has been so hard to do.
Many times I have missed your
guidance,
Missed your smile and helping hand,
But I know that you are happy
Over in the Heavenly Land.
It was hard to have you leave us
When we all did love you so,
But ’twas God’s will to take you
He just needed you to go.
No one knows the pain and longing
Which has filled my heart each day;
And I find myself still pondering
If you've really gone to stay.
I seem to hear you calling
Bidding each to do his best,
Rendering service unto others
Till we, too, may join the blest.
Dearest Mama, yes I miss you
In a thousand different ways,
But I’m coming soon to join you
In the land of endless days.
We'know you can’t return to us,
But we can come to you.
So pray for us that we may merit
The reward that is to Christians due.

The Open Forum
MR. WARD REQUESTS A
CORRECTION OF ALLEGED
STATEMENT BY MOFFITT
Mr. John T. Moffitt, Chairman,
Young Democratic Club of Randolph
County,
Asheboro, N. C.
Dear Sir:
I am informed that you are cir
culating a report to the effect that I
as manager of the mill here at
Worthville, will not allow the employ
ment of persons who do not vote the
Republican ticket and that in case a
Democrat happens to get into the or
ganization, he is required to declare
his allegiance to the Republican par
ty or be discharged.
Were it not for the reason that
such a report is calculated to do ines
timable damage to the corporation, I
would pay no attention to it person
ally, for I think I understand why
such report is being circulated. But,
I can conceive of how very serious
damage could and may develop from
such talk. It is for this reason that
I, as Secretary and Treasurer of the
corporation, demand .that such talk
be stopped and that..so far as it be
possible to do so yqp correct such
influence. I wquld. -g^geest that you
offer'such correct*** through the
press. ‘ •!i; >
May I add that I have employed la
bor regularly since 1899. Seventeen
years of this time was in Asheboro
and during all of these 33 years, this
is the first time I have ever heard of
being accused of such a low down
scheme. When I came to this mill
thirteen years ago, a number of Dem
ocrats were on the payroll. Several
of these people are still with me and
numbers of other Democrats have
been employed and I challenge any
person to say that I have directly or
indirectly fever threatened to dis
charge or have them discharged, un
less they vote the Republican ticket.
Any person who would stoop that low,
in my estimation, is below the class
of common thief and should be de
prived of his citizenship.
I shall be glad to have you visit
our plant and talk with any or all of
our 150 employees for your enlight
enment. Some of my most trusted
and responsible help, both men and
women, are Democrats but are just
as much respected and given as much
consideration as if thejf were Repub
licans. I consider such reports to be
an injustice to them as well as my
self and the corporation. We live in
a civilized country and my employees
are a free people. If I am guilty of
your accusation, they should prose
cute me for slavery and I should suf
fer the penalty. My employees are
not slaves and in their behalf as well
as my own, I most emphatically resent
such insinuation. For the benefit of
the public in an endeavor to counter
act this talk, I am sending a copy of
this to both the Courier and Tribune.
As stated above, I will thank you
to use every effort and means to
counteract the statements that have
been made.
Yours very truly,
LEWARD COTTON MILLS, Inc.,
W. L. Ward, Sec. & Treas.
HIGH TARIFF HAS HIT
ASHEBORO A HARD BLOW
Editor Courier:
I have been asked the question
many times, “What effect has the
high tariff, which has been enforced
on the hosiery industry by Canada
and other nations, had in the mills of
Randolph county?” I can answer
this question only as to our own mill.
Since the high tariff went into ef
fect, we have sold $2,692,682 worth
of hosiery. We would have sold, if
we could have gotten our normal ex
port business, $3,167,800. In other
words we have lost sales amounting
to $475,118. The labor on this
amount of sales will average around
30 per cent or $142,535. This is what
the laboring people in and around
Asheboro have lost at one mill, to say
nothing of the other mills in Ran
dolph county.
I am wondering if the people are
thinking just what this means to the
community—enough to pay all the
taxes in Asheboro for more than two
years—enough money to build more
than 70 homes at a cost of $2,000
am reminded of the story of the
experience meeting. The pastor was
asking his flock to tell what wonder
ful things the good Lord had done' for
them. After many good experiences,
one farmer whose crop had been
washed away by the flood, arose and
said that the good Lord had darned
near ruined him. That is what the
tariff has done for Asheboro!

every precinct in Randolph County,
as a member of the State-wide Roos

club obligates the party to make a
contribution. To every person who
contributes $1.00 or more, we will
deliver a Roosevelt-Gamer medallion,
designed by Gutson Borglum. Every
contribution entitles you to member

National headquarters is badly in
need of funds, and we are requested
to push this work all possible. To get
the full advantage of the contribut

several weeks in advance of the day
of election.

SOCIALISTS GOT ON TICKET
When the State Board of Elections
required the Socialists of North Caro
lina to get 10,000 signers to petitions
request the placing of their presi
dential electors on the official ballot,
it was ostensibly complying with the
law. As a sort of by-product of this
action, however, it inaugurated the
best piece of publicity work that has
ever been done for the Socialists in
this State. And it is publicity that
will have considerable effect in other
states. The news that more than 10,
000 North Carolinians signed the So
cialist petition will travel far.
The petition requirement stirred
Socialists in North Carolina who had
been more or less dormant for yeara
into activity. Many such persons got
petitions and obtained signatures In
number from two or three to several
hundred. And these formerly dor
mant Socialists have determined to
re-enlist in the Socialist cause and
push it to the limit of their ability.
More than 10,000 signatures to the
petitions does not mean that there
are that many Socialist in the State.
Yet, it would not be surprising if the
party polled a much larger vote than
that. When it appears that any
movement is having an unnecessarily
hard time getting along, sympathy
develops and from sympathy nevf
strength.
It has been wh’spered about rat lief
loudly that the State Board of Elec*
tions wasn’t after the Socialists bnt
the Communists. And the Social sta
appreciated this view since they are
opposed to the Communists. This
evokes the observation that 100 per
cent, tolerance is something which
will be attained only in the far-off fu*
ture.—Journal and Sentinel — Win*
