One sad feature of the convention was the sentiment voiced by various high Canadiss .officials Out the world is -now confronted with another world war and that it is now upon us. TWxte men, Ailing offrial positions of high rank in that government and being Close to the government of England, were a unit in opinion and fraiik to admit that such a conflict cannot 'be averted much longer. They went Anther to state that the United States and the British government are the only two major nations of the world not making preparations for this conflict.

Mr. and Mrs. Fields are moving from Albemarle, from whence cameo most flattering business way, and socially. The build <«ir stands on the site which was known by many of the older cWsens as the Susan Goodin spring house, which adjoined the home of a highly respected colored woman, who worked in the homes of a few of the people who lived In Aeheboro during He vil lage stage.

Politics in Randolph, always too close for comfort between the Democrats and Republicans, will begin to -warm up soon and will gradually increase in heat until vfeCfion -day.

Trogdon Last Sur vivor Of Immediate Family Boned At Giles Chapel. William M. Trogdon died at his home on Asheboro Route 1, June 28, after a lingering illness from paraly sis. The funeral was held at Giles Chapel church the following day, conducted by the Rev. R. L. Hethcox, after which burial (followed in the church cemetery. The deceased, who was in the sev enty-second year of his age, was a son of the late W. F. and Massa Robins Trogdon, and was the last sur viving member of his immediate fam ily. He is survived by his wife, the former Miss Mary Jane Glasgow, be side* one niece, Miss Massa E. Lam * *** Mr. Trogdon was educated in the public schools of Randolph county, in cluding Fair Grove Academy near Ramseur. In young manhood he taught school a few years. Later he was a farmer and merchant near Ce dar Falls for many years, but a stroke of paralysis nearly six years ago rendered him an invalid for the rest of his life. He was a great read er of the Bible, other books, news papers, and magazines as long as able. He was patient in suffering, saying, “‘It is natural to want to live but God’s will, not mine, be done.” Asheboro Party Visits Game Farm At Fayetteville Since the State Game Farm was moved from Randolph to Cumberland county, many Randolph folks have visited the farm at the new location. Among: the visitors were two parties from Asheboro who spent the Fourth of July with Mr. and Mrs. Patterson. Mr. Patterson, it will be remembered, was the manager of the Game Farm in Asheboro and was moved to Fay etteville when the Farm was removed from Randolph. These visitors report that the work of the game farm is going on splen didly and that already Mr. Patterson has put the new place into excellent condition, installing modem and effi cient methods for breeding. Under his supervision several mod em improvements have been made in methods of incubation and brooding. A record hatch is reported, 85 per cent of the eggs producing fine heal thy chicks, and prospects are good for their development into large healthy birds, every one of which will a^d to the sport loving public of North Carolina. It op a part of the A. C. Mc Alister tract on North street, and was originally the Dr. J. M. Worth property. The third has been begun this week by Frank Airman, promi nent lumberman and business man of Seagrove, and will be one of the most modern homes hi the town. The loca tion is known in late years as the E. B. Kearns home place, but by the elderly dthwns as the Archie Dicks plioe, corner of North and Cox streets. The fourth also a brick ve neer bungalow style residence, is be ing erected by Carl B. Cox, on a lot on the P. H. Morris home place, fac ing Cox street. In addition to these residences there are otter homes un der construction.

Before they were placed the ability of the families to care for and properly use them was checked. Several of the county administrators said they had no idea that land could be obtained for the families without outright purchase, but surprisingly found county officials and others ready and willing to cooperate, “A disadvantage in moving addi tional families now is, of course, the lateness of the season and the in ability to make crops on new lands this year. For this reason, many families have been established on a temporary arrangement for this year, through trades for the use of land made with landlords for part-time work, a share in crops, and improve ments to the property. "Canning this year has been changed largely from canning cen ters to the homes, since home gar dens, rather than community gardens, have been stressed. The canning in structors are able to leave a more permanent kind of help in showing the women how to put up the produce in their own kitchens rather than in the centers under conditions that would be difficult to duplicate in the home. “About 75 per cent of the families on relief in North Carolina are rural, and of these approximately 40 per cent are displaced tenant families. This is the problem on which a large part of the rural rehabilitation pro gram is centered.’” Guests of Miss May MeAli Mr. and Mrs. A. W. MeAli daughter Miss Flax and Dr. Jean McAlister, of Greensboro, visited Miss May McAlister last week. Other visitors of Miss McAlister were Mr. and Mrs. John Council and sons, of Randleman, and T. G. McAlister, of Raleigh. Dr. Jean McAlister has just fin ished her first year intemeship in a Philadelphia hospital and after a month’s vacation with her parents in Greensboro, expects to return .to Philadelphia.

The two men escaped from the highway road camp near Siler City oq Sunday. Stone said they rapped on his window to awaken him, then surren dered, handing over their rifle.

Feeling was intense in the community after the slaying, an enraged citizens had joined officers in the search. Baxter was quoted as saying he merely intended to frighten Routh with his rifle, .but became nervou3 and did not know why he shot. The men said they went to Routh’s home to ask him to take them away from Siler City, but that he refused and instead threw them the keys to his car.

Bulla, of the Randolph county schools, has this week received from the State School Commission at Raleigh, the total al lotment of teachers for Randolph schools. The total number of teach ers for the white and colored schools of the county is 233; 206 white teach ers and 27 colored teachers. This news will be received with consider able interest as 'the allotment of teachers varies widely over the state under the new set-up. In Randolph, however, the difference is only a loss of two teachers over last year’s num ber. There were 208 white teachers in the county last term which is two more than allowed for the coming term. Then is no change in the number of colored teachers. Mr. Bulla is quite pleased with the allotment for the county in that lit tle change in the general system will be necessitated.

Cooley, Nash County Attorney, FormaDy Elected To Fill Vacant Post. Randolph Vote Unusually Light Supplants Late Congressman Pou Who Served Fourth Dis trict Ably For 30 Years. The special election held Saturday throughout the fourth district for the election of a congressman to fill the unexpired term of the late Congress man Edward Pou, was in sharp con trast to the heated primary of June 2nd. During the weeks before the actual day of the primary, politics waxed so warm in Randolph that a very large vote was brought to the polls at that tinje. Neariy five thous and men and women of the county went out to the polls and cast their votes at that time. The.special election held Saturday, however, did not meet with a like 'fate. The total vote for Randolph was 1137 for Harold D. Cooley »nH 160 for his Republican opponent, Hobart Brantley. Mr. Cooley’s com plimentary vote in the primary mom than offset the light vote of the special election when, true to form, the voters neglect going to the poHa. The heaviest vote was, quite natur ally, polled in Asheboro with the fol lowing results: South Asheboro Cooley 101—Brantley 14; East Ashe boro 34—3; north Asheboro 89—11; west Asheboro 106—24. The second heaviest vote in the county was recorded in Franklinville with 116 for Mr. Cooley and 9 for his oppon ent. Throughout the fourth district Mr. Cooley’s victory over a field of five Democratic candidates in the pri mary won him vast respect as a vote getter. Congressman Cooley, 36-year-old Nashville lawyer, succeeds the late E. W. Pou, of Smithfield, who rep resented the district in Washington for a third of a century. His elec tion was for the unexpired term of Congressman Pou. He will be elect ed in November for the regular two year term. From the first returns Cooley took a lead which piled up avalanche pro portions, indicating that efforts of Republicans to bring out a vote for their candidate, Hobart Brantley, of Spring Hope, was at best feeble. The district is predominantly Dem ocratic, and it was realized that the only chance of an upset lay in the failure of Democrats to go to the polls in the special election which followed two hotly contested primar ies. Two years ago the Congressional vote was: Democratic, 51,103; Repub lican, 16,129. ) --- ■' - | Visitors Coming: \ And Going Around v Trinity Route One Mrs. Pepper Gives Picnic For Friends: Mrs. White Has House Guest From Ohio Trinity, July 10—Mr. and Mrs. Charles Walker, Hazel Fulp and Mr* | Melvina Martin are visiting the .World’s Fair this week.

New Law Enacted For Farmers Is Most Important An amendment to the farm debt adjustment act passed on the last dajr ot Congress, is generally considered to be the most radical law yet passed in the aid of farmers. It provides that ' any bona-fide farmer, after making effort to re finance his debts, and being unable to do so, may file a petition with the Conciliation Commissioner under di rection of the Federal Courts, and if the farmer and his creditors do net thereby reach an agreement, the Com missioner sends the report in to the court and when confirmed, results in a five^ycar^moratorium during which foreclosure by^paying each year an amount equivalent to a reasonable
