Romantic Character Of Gold Rush Days Depicted At Sunset gome of the most romantic charac ters in history are those of the gold null days of the early West, charact ers as dazzling as those of the most engaging fiction. One of the most striking characters is that of Tates Martin, who strng gied through daysof starvation as a prospector to rise to fame as the richest at the millionaires after be •trade “pay dirt”. Tates Martin slapped a dry presi dent on the back and asked him to have a drink, ruled a State Legisla Principles Of Relief Work In County Outlined By T. F. Bulla, Chairman The wrong impression seems to pre vail in some sections as to the purpose of Federal Belief. As we understand it. Federal Relief funds were provided by the United States Congress to be distributed to states and counties where industrial and financial condi tions were distressing and people were out of employment and the com munity was unable to provide neces sary labor, food and clothing to make the people comfortable. Some have the understanding that this money is for anyone who may apply whether he is in need or not. This is wrong. It never was intended for this money to be used except for people who could not, in some way, provide for him self and family. Hie Federal Government, upon ap plication by the Governor, lends thisj money to the states, and he in turn; upon application from the County j Welfare Departments, or some other! organization serving the same pur pose, allots the money to the counties | to be spent as the needs may arise. It j is intended mainly to give employ-j ment to the unemployed, without re gard to race, color or political affil iation. The rules and regulations of the Reconstruction Finance Corpora tion state that people may be employ ed on public or semi-public property such as school bouses and grounds, churches and grounds, cemeteries,; streets and roads, and other building which is considered public. Begin ning with October, 1932, Randolph County has given three to four hun dred. men and women employment on such projects. We have already be gun and finished forty to fifty proj ects such as repairing school houses and work on.grounds, athletic fields, churches and grounds, cleaning ceme teries, improving roads and streets, mid many projects have been begun and not completed to date. In addition to giving hundreds work, we have given away thousands of yards of doth, many pairs of hos iery, overalls and shoes, and many hundred barrels of flour have been distributed. It was never the inten tion of the Federal Government to hand out a dole or to give anyone enough to live on, but sufficient amount to aid a family in a limited way. We have been trying to work two days per week allowing the re Price Redaction In Theatre Admissions Here beginning' March lat and <- _ through March Slat, the admission prices of the Sunset would be as fol lows: Monday and Tuesday, matinee 10 and 25 cents; night 10 and 25 cents Wednesday, bargain day, 10 cents to all, matinee end night Thursday, Fri day and Saturday, matinee and night, 10 and 25 emits. In keeping the admission price the Mm* as it has been on the first two days of the week, Mr. White stated that only the very best attractions obtainable would be shown. As evi dence of this, he states that he has booked for those days the following pictures: Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey in “Hold Em Jail,” Frank Bucks “Bring Em Back Alive,” “Lit tle Orphan Annie” and Will Rogers, Janet Gaynor, Sally Eilers, lew Ay ers, Norman Foster and Louise Dress ier in “State Fair”. To Hold Fertilizer Institute At Armory In Asheboro March 6 Mot Outstanding la Agricultur al Work la State To Be Here For This Event. Of interest to the farmers of Ran i announcement of a Fertiliser Institute 'that wiD he held in the armory in Aaheboio on Monday, March 0, at 10 a. m. While this institute is held by Hayworth and Cottraae, dealers in . fertilizer, these two men are bringing to Asheboro a group of men who are , outstanding in agricultural circles of [the state. E. V. Floyd, extension to bacco specialist of State College, will be one of the speakers and will dis-: cuss factors concerning the growing of better quality tobaeco. Dr. U. G. Willis, soil specialist of State College, will speak on “The ‘Value of Magnesia as a Plant Food.” J. W. Hendrix, superintendent Pied mont experiment station, of States ville, will discuss the “Use and Abuse of Fertilizer.” Another pertinent subject will be the amount and anal- j ysis of fertilizer that give best re ! suits on grain crops and cotton, dis cussed by C. B. Williams, chief of the department of agronomy of State College. _ Other speakers will include W. Kerr, Scott, state master of the Grange, and E. SI MiDsnps, Jr, of Randolph coun ty This institute, staged primarily for the farmers of this section, is open to the public end they will be welcomed. Mr. Hayworth and Mr. Cotbmne have secured the armory for this cent and the large hall wiO afford plenty mainder of the week for the laborer to pick up work in the community from his neighbors or anywhere he can. It is not the purpose of the Welfare Department to give employ ment to anyone who can secure it elsewhere. There has been some crit icism in parts of the state and prob ably in Randolph, especially among farmers, that they could not secure labor on account of Federal Relief work projects. If any fanner offers employment to anyone who has been employed on Federal Relief projects and he does not accept it, it would be doing the Welfare Department a great favor to let it be known. It will also be appreciated if the people of Randolph who are not receiving aid (Please turn to page 8) Mule Killed When It Came Into Contact With Charged Wire Animal Belonging To Alphens Annum Killed At Seagwe.
