Hon j c. B. Ehringhaus, Democratic
candidate for Governor, will address
the people of Randolph. There is no
more silver-tongued orator in the
tarty, perhaps, than Mr. Ehringhaus
and the combination of oratory and
political judgment blend into a worth
while speech. Many people of the
county enjoyed hearing; this speaker
during the campaign of 1928 when he
spoke m practically every county in
Korth Carolina furthering the oause
«f Democracy. This event will
probably draw an audience from
the entire county as well as from sev
eral neighboring counties. The pub
lic is welcome.
The next big event is scheduled for
Friday, October 28th, and will be a
barbecue which is to be free to all
Democrats of the county. A com

crats to make this a genuine Demo
cratic love feast. Pigs have been of
fered from several rural sections and
there will be plenty of food. Governor
Gardner has been invited to make the
principal speech with a number of
other prominent speakers and politi
cians of the state invited. Definite
plans for this event will be made but
Democrats of the county are asked to
keep this date open so that they may
attend this event. It has been many
pears since the Democrats of Ran
Iph staged a barbecue and they are
ig forward with the plans with
a interest. It will be held, either
the school grounds or at the fair
(rounds, the announcement to be
made later. Slither location will fur

Premium Winners
At Randolph Fair
Will Be Paid Half
Fair Operated At Loss Of $1,500
And Association Must Cut
Premium List.
The directors of the Randolph
Coanty Pair Association met Satur-1
day and after discussing the financial
condition of the fair decided to pay
all exhibitors of the fair association
one-half of the premium list
The fair lacked $1,500 taking in
enough money to meet expenses, and
on account of the fact that no money
can be borrowed, the directors had
to take the money in hand and let it
go as far as possible. In order to
pay one-half the premium list the of
ficers had to agree to let their sal
ary go over to the next fair.
This is the second time in the his
tory of the fair that it has failed to
make expenses. However, the di
rectors and stockholders have set out
with new determination to put on a
bigger and better fair next year, that
will have for its purpose the educa
tion and entertainment of our people.

Sunday Evening
Marked Close Of
Revival Services
Last Sermon Preached By Dr.
Myers To Large Congrega
tion In School House.
Cooperation Splendid
Churches, Choirs And People
Generally Responded To Help
Make Services Success
The union revival sponsored by the
churches of Asheboro closed Sunday
night at a high water mark of inter
est. The high school auditorium was
crowded to the doors, and the atten
tion of the worshippers was unbrok
en as Dr. Chas. F. Myers, of Greens
boro, told tfie story of the call of the
Jewish tax gatherer, Zacchaeus. The
speaker paid high tribute to the in
fluence of Jesus, beloved by men,
women and children of every race in
every corner of the world. The most
popular man in Asheboro, he said, is
Jesus. More people talk to Jesus ev
ery day, work for Him, respect Him,
love Him, than follow any other. Dr.
Myers spoke of the divine love for
lost men—men lost to the cause of
honor and honesty, lost to the ser
vice of community, lost to God and
lost to themselves. Your boy, he
said, may sit- across the table from
you every day and be lost to you.
Illustrating the heart of his mes
sage, the speaker recalled the con
version of Fred Stone, idol of Broad
way for the past thirty years. He
bought a Bible two years ago in
Butte, Montana, asked a Methodist
minister to mark some passages for
him to read, and became a Christian
after reading the story of Jesus for
himself. Will Rogers heard of it and
said, if there was a church that
would let him in, he was going to
church with Fred Stone.
Dr. R. S. Truesdale, presiding' over
the last service, courteously thanked
those who had made especial contri
bution to the success of the meeting.
He mentioned the school board for
the hospitality of the auditorium, W.
P. Stone and Hobart Gox for wiring
the auditorium with amplifiers and
sound apparatus, Mrs. J. A. Spence
and Mrs. Walter Stowe for care of the
platform, Graves, the school janitor,
for his faithfulness, Rev. Jphn Per
mar for his fine chorus choir, ac
companied at bite pianos by Mrs. E. S.
leading the singing, and Mrs. Dewey
Farrell, of Greensboro, whose sweet
clear singing was a’feature of the
services the past week. Mrs. Far
rell was accompanied on the piano by
Mrs. S. B Stedman.
Dr Myers has endeared himself to
the people of Ashefooro, and in the
short week of his preaching here has
created an atmosphere in which it
will be easier for Christian people to
do their work for God.

Huge Reduction
In Property Tax
During Past Year
Figures Given Out For Past
North Carolina Fiscal Year
Shows Big Savings.
$12,228,000 Less
Money Collected Jn Taxes Past
Year Less Than Year Before,
Survey Shows. .
_ taken
from the
ment this past fiscal year titan it did
the previous year, according to an
analysis of the financial condition of
the stato released this week by Gov
ernor 0. Max Gardner.
Coupled with that reduction in the
property tax ibill for the state is the
significant fact that the cost of the
operation of the departments and in
stitutions of North Carolina has been
reduced from $8,658,000 in 1929 to
$6,167,000 for the current year, or a
net reduction of 29 per cent in the
cost of operating the government, it
was shown in the Governor’s state
ment.
Getting down to a specific analysis
of the governmental costs, it was
shown that by reason of the action
taken in the last General Assembly
the total tax bill in Mecklenburg
county, for instance, was reduced the
grand sum of $750,000, and Gaston
county was able to slash off $449,
000 from its total tax bill.
The total reduction throughout all
North Carolina of 20.4 per cent of
the property tax constitutes the lar
gest tax reduction ever achieved in
the history of the state, it was point
ed out.
Figures just completed by the Tax
Commission show a total property tax
levy of $59,911,000 in 1930 and a drop
to $47,684,000 in 1931—the first year
to have the benefit of the 1931 school
and road legislation, and of the legis
lative and administrative economies
put into effect in local government.
The analysis shows the remarkable
reduction in county levies of $10,
055,000, in district levies of $1,704,
000, and in municipal levies of $469,
000. This means, the survey points
out, that the businesses and indust
ries of North Carolina were called up
on to pay only four-fifths as much
property taxes in 1931 as they were
called upon to pay in 1980.
In other words, these government
al economies left exactly $12,250,000
more money in the pockets of the
taxpayers of North Carolina that
might easily have been taken under
the normal and regular appropria
tions'for the support of the govern
ment.
This is generally regarded in ad
ministration circles as the biggest re
duction ever brought about in a
single year by any state in the union.
More important than any of these
reductions, in the minds of some, is
the fact that the administration was
able to shave off the impressive sum
of $2,750,000 from the salaries of
state officials in the past year. That
handsome saving is salaries alone is
regarded as a very flattering con
trast to the increase in salaries
shown in the federal government.

Murphy Discusses
Effect Of Tariff
On Farm Prices
America Unable To Dispose Of
Surplus On Account Of High
Protective Wall.
Gives A Remedy
For Situation In Which We Find
Ourselves; Must Turn To
Democratic Party.
Hon. Walter (Pete) Murphy, of
Salisbury, was greeted by a large
crowd of Randolph county citizens at
Seagrove school auditorium Tuesday
evening. William J. Armfield, Jr.,
of Asheboro, presented the speaker,
whom he said was his school mate, j
friend and one who had at all times
been an advocator of Democracy.
The speaker traced the early hist
ory of government, beginning with
the settlement of the Thirteen Colo
nies, which was made up of different
nationalities. He told of the great
meeting in Philadelphia over which
General George Washington presided
and in which two ideas were domi
nant, the one with Alexander Ham
ilton at the head, the other with
Thomas Jefferson, representing the
two political parties of today—the
Republican party with centralized
power, the Democratic party being
a party whose beliefs were for justice
to all and special privileges to none.
He appealed to the audience to think
and act for themselves, reminding
them of the conditions through which
the entire country is passing. Espec
ially did the speaker emphasize the
tariff question which had worked to
the benefit of a few and the perse
cution of many, the general result
being the closing of many of the mar
kets of other countries to American
made products. He illustrated by tar
iff on cotton and woolen goods and
farm machinery particularly. He
contrasted prices of grains following
Hoover’s stabilizing price plans, these
being as to prices 2 1-2 years ago and
now: Wheat, $1.55 per bushel, now
37 1-2 c; Oats, 45c, now 10c; Corn
$1.05, now 26c. The Des Moines
speech of the president was followed
the day after by a reduction of four
cents per bushel on wheat and three
and a quarter cents on com and since
that time the school boards of Iowa
have decided to use com for fuel.
In referring to domestic tranquil
with^iljvenf^ttiliion people tmempjcfy
ed and thousands walking streets and
highways begging bread. He said
there were three things that had to
come about before normalcy could be
returned and the voters of the country
had it in their power to make this
possibility: First, farmers must be
guaranteed a profit on their prod
ucts; second, toilers or laborers must
have a fairer compensation; third,
the manufacturers must have suffi
cient profit.
Mr. Murphy’s general presentation
of the problems of today were clear
and concise. He concluded with ask
ing a hold up of hands as to all who
were satisfied with conditions of to
day and those expecting to vote ac
cordingly on November 8. While
there were a number of Republicans
in the audience, no hands were ele
vated, on the other proposition, those
who were dissatisfied and would vote
for a change, a big showing of hands
was in evidence. Mr. Murphy was
complimentary to the national, state
and county candidates, and predicted
a Democratic landslide November 8.

Camera Invades The
Sacred Confines Of
A Maternity Ward
For the first time in movie history,
the camera invades the sacred con
fines of a hospital maternity ward.
The first public exposition of the
role of motherhood forms the back
ground of the First National film
drama, “Life Begins,” which comes
to the Sunset Theatre Monday and
Tuesday.
Intimate glimpses into hospitals are
nothing new to motion pictures.
“Night Nurse” and “Alias The Doc
tor,” to mention only two recent pic
tures, have done this thoroughly. But
in “Life Begins” the entire picture
is confined to the maternity ward,
depicting the lives and the great dra
ma of eight expectant mothers con
fined there, and the romance of the
work of doctors and nurses.
A large cast of notable players is
headed by Loretta Young and Eric
Linden. Others are Aline MacMa
hon, Preston Foster, Glenda Farrell,
Frank McHugh, Gloria Shea, Walter
Walker, Dorothy Peterson, Vivienne
Osborne, Clara Blandick, Elizabeth
Patterson, Gilbert Roland, Hale Ham
