Republican Gather To Hear Na
tional Committeeman Give
Views Of Politics.
The court room in Asheboro was
weii filled on Saturday afternoon
when Congressman R. L. Doughton
spoke to the voters of Randolph
county. This representative from the
ninth district of North Carolina spoke
to the voters of the county as “man
to man” and minced no words about
the New Deal. He gave definite facts
and figures concerning the benefits
of the New Deal comparing them
with the conditions existing former
ly—or the old deal.
Among progressive steps of the
new deal he discussed the return of
four million people to jobs, reopening
of banks under federal supervision
and the placing of business on a
sound basis.
The speaker cited instances where
manufacturers and all kinds of busi
ness, as well as labor, was on a
sound footing under the present set
up.
A farmer himself with the title of
“Farmer Bob,” Mr. Doughton spoke
first hand of the agricultural ad
justment legislation, both from the
standpoint of his experience as a
farmer and in national legislation.
The speaker cited the increased
prices of farm products and the help
the government has given to farm
ers through farm loans, which are
held by the government.
The meeting was presided over
by C. C. Cranford, chairman for the
county, who introduced J. V. Wilson.
Mr. Wilson, in turn, introduced the
county candidates. Henry L. Ingram,
candidate for the state legislature
frrm Randolph, then introduced Un

duced Mr. Doughton.
Charles Jonas Speaks Friday Eve.
On Friday evening prior to this
address, the Republicans of the coun
ty gathered full force to hear the
Hon. Charles A. Jonas, former Con
gressman and national committeeman.
Mr. Jonas in the beginning stated
that there were things higher at
stake in the world today than parti
san politics, and that he was proud
of the Republican party for the
spirit of cooperation that they had
shown in the past two years. He as
serted that his party had never sac
rificed the principals of the party
for temporary partisan success. He
veritably believed that the depres
sion was greatly due to the fact that
the democratic leaders in our Na
tional Congress under Hoover failed
to cooperate, and played petty pol
itics with human misery. He cited
the fact that Charles Nicholson, na
tionally known for his ability as a
newspaperman, was employed at a

Asheboro High School
Football Team Starts
Off With Good Work
Game Saturday Between Ashe
boro And Albemarle Pro
phesied As Worthwhile
The Asheboro high school foot
ball team opened its season Friday,
October 6, with a stirring win over
Kamseur, 2-0. The game was played
at Ramseur on a muddy, rain-soaked
field. Both teams played rather
shabbily, though Asheboro had a
Might edge over the Ramseur boys.
Friday, October 12, saw Asheboro
bucking up against Liberty, their old
ttval, at Lindley Athletic Park. The
Asheboro team was slightly improved
over the one that met Ramseur.
After four quarters of hard playing
J® both sides, the final score was
°-0. For Asheboro, there were no
offensive stars, although Cameron
Mo^ran, tackle, and Baxter Kearns,
halfback, stood out for Asheboro.
Both boys made some very nice tack
es* The outstanding feature of the
game was when Asheboro held Liber
\°n the one yard line.
Asheboro plays Albemarle there
next Friday, and it promises to be
a hard-fought game. The Asheboro
rfani should be much improved, since
™ey have two games behind them.

Common Sense In
Daily Life Is A
Necessary Factor
Dr. J. B. Eller, Baptist Evange
list, Uses This Subject At
Kiwanis Luncheon
Discusses Education
Scout Work Is Reported By W.
S. Long; J. Rufus Hill Is
Made New Member
Dr. J. Ben Eller, of Greensboro,
who is conducting a revival meeting
in the Asheboro Baptist church, was
guest speaker at the regular meeting
of the Kiwanis Club Thursday even
ing.
Dr. Eller’s subject was “Common
Sense” and he wove around this
subject a number of interesting
thoughts helpful to his hearers, re
lating a number of humorous ex
amples where common sense was not
used in daily life. An outstanding
example given by Dr. Eller was the
need for this practice in our educa
tional system. He said up to five |
years ago our educational system I
became so organized that we had
supervisors looking after supervisors
and supervisors over them in an
effort to reach maximum efficiency,
but when the crash came, our legis
lators and others in authority tried
to economize on the school system
until our educational system is sore
ly hampered by lack of funds and
many of the best teachers are leav
ing the profession and the training
of the children is being left, in many
instances, to inexperienced and poor
ly prepared teachers. Dr. Eller said
this will reflect itself in future cit
izenship.
He outlined how this same prac
tice had been practiced in our gen
eral economic system and in politics
and cited disastrous results which
could easily have been avoided if
common sense had been exercised.
Dr. Eller gave another illustration
regarding religious practices of the
country. How congregations had not
looked far enough ahead in their fi
nancial programs and how some had
organized to such a degree that
churches had become social rather
than religious organizations.
Dr. Eller closed his talk by con
gratulating the club on the interest
ithad
eoVmriei
in I
3ed their efforts
e plume
and expressed the hope that the
community generally would lend help
ful influence to this movement.
J. Roy Bethune, of Chattanooga,
Tenn., who is doing the singing at
the Baptist revival, was also guest
of the club and led the singing.
J. Rufus Hill was welcomed into
the club as a new member. W. S.
Long made a report for the Boy
Scout award committee. The recom
mendation that two suits, a scout
knife and a scout hatchet be award
ed to the four boys making the best
general progress in scout work dur
ing the next five months was passed.

day, October 27th, a number of
speaking’s will be held at practically
every school house in the county. Al

friends have spoken to groups and
leaders in some of the precincts,
but the plan is to have well informed
Democratic leaders speak on the
issues of the day and of the cam

On Tuesday night Hon. J. V. Wil

former state senator and candidate
for the House from this county, and

those arranged for the next few
days by the Democratic party would
be hard to find. Dr. J. T. Burrus,

admired by many of the citizens of
Randolph county and they will hear
him with interest as will be the

Five Thousand In October
Is Goal Of Local Baptists
“Five thousand dollars in October’’
is the goal of Dr. Herman Stevens,
for the Asheboro Baptist church to
raise. This amount is needed for
some accounts on the splendid new
church building and Dr. Stevens ex
pects to raise the amount without
any difficulty. He states that about
half the amount is already pledged.
Dr. Stevens has devised a splendid
payment plan for the pledges which
makes it easy for those who are
making small salaries. The past rec-1
ord of this energetic minister be
speaks success for any plan he un
dertakes. He is also well pleased
with the cooperation already display
ed by the members of his church.
A revival service has been in pro
gress at this church for the past
ten days and is steadily gaining in
interest daily. According to Dr. Stev
ens, the meeting will continue
through Sunday evening, October 21.
Rev. J. B. Eller, of Greensboro,

Ripe Blackberries
In October Break
Previous Records
Ripe blackberries in October is
a bit unusual to most people but
not the family of W. H. H. Brown,
near Coleridge. A sample of his
berries are now in Hadley’s Econ
omy Store. The bushes start
bearing berries early in the spring
and continue until frost in the
fall with abundant fruit for pies
all season. The berries are said
to be wild blackberries but they
resemble Himalaya berries or dew
berries more than the field variety
of berry. R. E. Williams, of Ashe
boro, a former neighbor of the
Brown family brought the sample
to Asheboro for inspection and
they are creating considerable in

Invited To Come.
The Young Democratic Club of
Randolph county planned a barbecue
and old-time rally for all Democrats
when the club was reoganized early
in the summer. Now the date is set
for Saturday, October 27th, and the
entire Democratic party of Randolph
is cooperating a hundred per cent
to make this a memorable occasion
in the annals of the political records
of the county. So enthusiastic have
the leaders become as the plans pro
gress and unfold that they are issu
ing a blanket invitation to every cit
izen of the county to attend this
speaking and barbecue.
Ed Cranford and Frank McCrary

barbecue and announce the program
for the day as follows: all candidates,

is well posted on all topics political.
His version of the situation as it now
exists is sane, sensible and of in
