Former Randolph rr
Men Return Tor
. Motorcade Jaunt
Among the former residents of
Randolph county, who returned for
the motorcade trip through Western
Randolph Sunday, was Capt. A. M.
Rankin, of High Point.
Capt Rankin contrasted “the then
and now” of Randolph, especially call
ing to mind his running the first train
into Asheboro after the completion
of the High Point, Randleman, Ashe
boro Railroad in 1879. Capt. Rankin
has been the victim of severe eye
trouble and while he could not enjoy
all the beauties of his adopted coun
ty, he enjoyed hearing about it and
felt he was still a part of transpor
tation, in which he spent a large part
of his life.
Rom Bullard, of Greensboro, was
one of the first “out of county” folks
to return to join in seeing his native
county in "Blossom Time." And with
college and street vernacular “was he
enthusiastic.” There were few of the
beauties of scenic Randolph that miss
his admiring eyes. So full of the en
tire motorcade trip that he was one of
the first to move its being an annual
event Although Mr. Bullard has been
in Greensboro for a number of years,
he has continued his love and admi
ration for his native heath, and nev
er misses an opportunity to return

Items of The Week.
Ramseur, April 16—Ramseur nomi
nated a ticket for the next two years
term on Saturday afternoon, the elec
tion to be held ia May.
The retiring Mayor, J. A. Craven,
called the meeting to order and on
motion M. E. Johnson was made tem
porary chairman over the session. Un
der an* a mended charter, Ramseur
elects only six officers now; mayor
and five commissioners, from which
the clerk and treasurer are chosen
and the board employs the constable
by the month.
J. M. McAlister was nominated
mayor, while A. H. Thomas, E. B.
Leonard, A. W Craven, Durant Pell
and D. E. Whitehead were the nomi
nees for commissioners. These men
are all good citizens and capable of
ficers. The candidate for mayor is an
experienced town officer having serv
ed several terms as town clerk.
It is the duty of every citizen of
Ramseur to stand behind these new
officers as never before in the ad
ministration of the town’s affairs and
the promotion of morals and good
order in this day of disregard for law
and loose living. We all know that
there is no law that is any stronger
than public sentiment behind it, and
the day has arrived when the citizen
ship of every community must regu
late the affairs of local nature, using
every effort to make the environment
clean and wholesome for everyone.
There is much that a good live mayor
and a progressive board can do for
the betterment of our town and we
are looking to this set of men to pro
mote these interests of the people
during the next two, years. The retir
ing body served well through a hard
period of depression years and are to
be commended for their efforts.

List Your Property
Real and Personal
For Taxation Now
From time to time in recent
weeks. The Courier has called at
tention to the matter of listing tax
es. As has been stated several
times, the law requires all real
and personal property to be listed
for taxation whether paid for or
not.
This question has been asked re
cently and those in charge of the
listing request that this informa
tion be given to the public. It is
also advisable that people list their
property for taxes early before the
last days when it will be necessary
to rush and wait turns to obtain
a hearing with the list takers.
These men are now available and
people are urged to cooperate.
Checker Contest Monday
The Randolph County annual check

are invited to attend.

As Earnings During Year

A Decided Increase In Flow of
New Savings Into Associa

Raleigh, April 16—The Building

in earnings last year to the 72,764
members'who are investing their sav

day by Dim C. Boney, Insurance Com
missioner. ;
While the reports reveal a substan

counted for by the fact that large ser

by which mortgage loans were paid
and retired. A large number of loans
which were in a delinquent condition
were retired through the Home Own

of the associations. These reports fur
ther reveal the associations to be in a
more liquid position in that their cash
account and the amount of government
and state bonds show a substantial
increase. Bills payable were reduced
over a million five hundred thousand
dollars. The reserve :for. contingencies
shows a nice Increase.'
The Real Estate acquired by fore

the same time reports from all sec
tions of the state indicate a stiffening
in prices and an increased demand to
purchase real estate at this time.
Rents are going up, which is usually
the forerunner of greater activity in
the home building market.
There is a decided increase in the
flow of new savings into the associa

them in a stronger, position to meet

AH Candidates Must
File Under Provision
New Legislative Act
AH Present City Officers Have
Filed Intentions of Running
For Another Term.
New Voters Must
Register To Vote
Unnecessary For Voters Already
On Registration Books to Re
gister Again.
Friday, April 19th is the last day
allowed by the new primary election
law for filing1 for offices for the town
of Asheboro. All persons who desire
to become candidates in the next pri
mary election must file with A. R.
Winningham, city clerk, a notice of
their candidacy on or before this date
mentioned. In addition to the filing,
a fee of $5.00 for the office of mayor
and $1.00 each for the other offices,
is provided by the law.
It is clearly stipulated that voters
who are already on the municipal re
gistration book need not re-register.
Those whose names are not already
on the books, however, must register
with W. F. Hunsucker, registrar. Mr.
Hunsfucker will be at the court house
in Asheboro on Saturday for the re
gistration of voters and will be there
every Saturday between now and
May 7th, election day.
All the present officers of the town
have filed separately for another term.
They are: W. A. Bunch, for mayor;
commissioners, W. J. Armfield, Jr.,
J. M. Neely, Dr. O. L. Presnell, W.
Frank Redding, J, Francis White, Jr.
On May 7th the city election will
be held. At this time also, under the
new law, Senate bill number 249 which
was passed on Saturday, will go into
effect. This bill provides that three
members of the Asheboro school
board be elected by vote of the peo
ple, which is a very different proce
dure from a custom of appointment
by other members of the present board
practiced since the days of White Su
premacy. The members whose terms
of office expire at this time are: Shel
ly Frazier, Kemp Alexander and Mrs.
W. A. Underwood. Other members of
the school board are J. O. Redding,
chairman, W. J. Scarboro, J. M. Cavi
ness, E H. Morris, Mrs. J. S. Lewi3
and Calvin Frazier.
These-•*" is considerable interest
among the citizens of Asheboro in the
town election at this time, which is
called in this new fashion for the
first time. Previously, nominations
have come for these offices at a
mass meeting held in the court house
in Asheboro, and election followed at
that time. The new law, however, pro
vides that candidates file publicly and,
in case of a triangle for any office,
there must be a primary, which is set
for Monday, April 29th. At present,
this does not seem to be necessary,
since there are no candidates filed
for office save the present city offi
cials.
Much Developing:

In Dogwood Acres
There Are Many Reasons Fee
The BtyM Ptwbpaeet «f
This Residential Section
Dogwood Acres,. situated on high
way 99, about five minutes frem the
business' section ef Ashehoro, has
been-the scene of numb development
during: the past few1 months. -Many
new houses-are being built with com
plete electrical furnishings. The de
velopments is partly due to the good
roads running through Dogwood
Acres and the beautiful scenery which
can be found in abundance every
where; and also, there is a daily mail
delivery. All reasons for the quick
and rapid delevlopment of this resi
dential section.
At the present there are 180 owners
of lots with 40 buildings on the vari
ous lots, all adequately equipped with
the most up-to-date furnishings that
can be had—with most of the lots
large enough for a home, garage, ve
getable and flower gardens, land
scaping, and other things that are re
quisite to a real home.
