Page Motor Company
Annexes Additional
Lot for Used Cars
The H. A. Page, Jr., Motor company
is this week opening a sort of annex
in the form of a used car lot. This
lot is located almost directly across
the street from the motor company
on Fayetteville street on the lot north
of the Ashlyn hotel.
This addition was found necessary,
according to Bari Vesta), manager of
the motor company, on account of the
increase fii the volume of business and
the large number of used cars on
hand. There is also an interesting
display of new cars in the show room
that makes it necessary to find addi
tional room for the overflow.
This is another indication of the up
turn of business in the town and coun
ty during recent months.

Consecutive Years In This
Important Office.
Board Members Are
Installed Monday
Other Business Of Importance
To County Citizenship Is
Acted Upon.
T. Fletcher Bulla, who for 22 years j
has served as superintendent of edu
cation in Randolph county, was named
to succeed himself for another two
year term, at the meeting of the coun
ty board of education held on the first
Monday in May in Asheboro. Mr.
Bulla’s time does not expire until July
but, according to the state law, the
appointment for this office should
come in May. Mr. Bulla states that
the salary for his office will be fixed
by the state school commission.
Another item of unusual interest
connected with the May meeting was
the announcement of the appointment
of the members of the county board
of education, made by the general as
sembly recently as follows: L. F.
Ross, Asheboro; J. A. Martin, Liberty;
L. C. Smith, of Tabernacle. These
three men, with L. F. Ross chairman,
were installed into office taking the
oath before Rufus R. Routh, clerk of
the court for Randolph. Mr. Ross’
term compromises six years, Mr. Mar
tin’s two years and Mr. Smith’s four
years.
The board, in session immediately
after the installation of the members,
authorized the county attorney, I. C.
Moser, to assist Mr. Bulla in secur
ing additional land at Grays Chapel for
the purpose of additional school and
play grounds. Also for a teacherage
that will probably be erected at an
early date.
The board also authorized the sale
now abandoned by the consolidation
of county schools.
The board of education decided that
it would be expedient to await the
decision of this board and of the
county commissioners concerning the
use of FWA funds for school buildings
further detailed plans from Washing
ton arrive. The board recognize the
need for additional buildings, and are
studying the situation with great care
and due consideration, as is the plan
of the county commissioners likewise.

Donkey Baseball Is Greeted
In Asheboro With Enthusiasm
One of the best times ever had in
Asheboro was held at Linley Athletic
park Monday afternoon, a donkey
baseball game, played to. an overflow
ing, enthusiastic grandstand. People
were even lined up out to the new
fence surrounding, the ball park.
Donkey baseball resembles the real
baseball in many ways, but is played
on little mules which are trained to
kick, rare, and buck. These donkeys
are especially vicious when business
men try to stay on their backs.
The Rotarians and. Kiwanis are
tangled, the Rotarians taking the
name “Cubs” and the Kiwanis,
“Bears.”' The Cubs won out by the
score of 9-7, in one of the most hi
larious games ever witnessed. The
losing side declared they could have
won if their mounts had not got the!
habit of “shying” at home base. Only
the pitchers and catchers did not ride,
although at many times the others
resembled the battery in that they
wanted to ride, but just couldn’t quite
make it..
In the early staeges of the game,
Banks of Randolph
Plan To Be Closed
On Friday, May 10th
Announcement is made by the
two banks of Asheboro that they
plan to close their doors for South

For many yeears this has been a
gala occasion in Asheboro and the
people of the town and the U. D.
C. chapter plan that the celebra
tion will be held despite the fact
that the rank of the wearers of the
grey are thinning perceptibly.
The Bank of Coleridge located at
Ramseur, and the People’s Bank at
Randleman also plan to be closed
on this date as a tribute to the
Southern heroes of a generation
almost passed over to stand atten
tion before another camp fire where
many comrades have answered the

Legion Auxiliary To
Conduct Poppy Sale
On Saturday, 25th
Mrs. Rufus Routh Will Again
Head Sale of Poppies For
American Legion Auxiliary
Mrs. Rufus Routh will a pain head
the Poppy Day sale in Asheboro for
the Ben Dixon Post Ameriean Legion
Auxiliary' this year. The date set for

over the country will wear these small
red flowers in honor of the World War
dead.
Mrs. Routh with her committee
composed of Mrs. G. P. Pritchard and
Mrs. F. G. Newsom will draw addi
tional workers for this event and they
plan to make this the biggest poppy
day sale in the history of the organi
zation.
' The poppies which will be worn
here have been ordered from the work
room connected with the Veterans
Hospital at Oteen, N. C., where they
have been made, by wives and families
of disabled World War veterans. The
poppy making has provided employ
ment for needy veterans throughout
the winter and spring months, en
abling them to help support them
selves and families. Public response
on Poppy Day will determine how
soon and how extensivey this work
can be re-opened.
In exchange for poppies, the Aux
iliary women will ask each person to
make a contribution for the welfare
of the war’s living victims, the dis
abled veterans, the widows and the
fatherless children of veterans. This
money will be used entirely in the
welfare work ofthe Legion and Auxil
iary, the bulk of it in the work of the
local Post and Unit.
Buys American Service Plant
By virtue of a deal consumated
Saturday, C. L. Cranford became the
owner of the Asheboro plant of the
American Service Company and as
sumed management of the business,
Monday. Leon Cranford will assist
in the management. This plant was
originally operated by Arthur Ross
and Talton Cox under the name of
Asheboro Ice and Coal Co., until it
was sold to the American Service
Company in 1929 by Mr. Ross and
Mr. Cox.
Meeting Starts Well
The tent meeting conducted by Rev.
B. J. Fulp at Denton is meeting with
great success, aeccording to Mr. Fulp,
who says that people are taking much
interest in the services. Music and
singing are being rendered by Miss
Ila Back, of Mocksville and Miss Mary

dially invited to attend.
his donkey. J. C. Senter pulled a
western stunt and rode the “meanest”
donkey all the way to the right field
fence, where he was gently but firm
ly dumped on his head. Dr. Herman
Stevens likewise contributed largely
toward the amusement of the grand
stand.
No one was seriously injured, but
many of the partakers were seen
Monday night walking with the aid
of canes. Frank Steed played “row
ing second base,” his donkey being
the only one in the infield that would
even pretend to trot He and Rufus
Routh appeared to be the best horse
men in the game, although they, too,
got their share of the bumps. Hal
Johnson also was the object of many
a laugh, as he would wind his long
legs around the "poor helpless” don
keys and do his best to make him
go.
Taken as a whole, this ball game
was a complete success, and it is
probable that Asheboro will take up
this sport to a certain degree dur
ing the summer; if the business men
can learn "to take it.”

Of Commissioners
On Monday, May 6

Further Word from Capital
Dog Tax Refunds
Matters Pertaining to Road
Work And Bridges Consume
Much Commissioners Time
On Monday, May 6th, the county
board of commissioners held the reg
ular meeting in the court house at
Asheboro. The eyes of many Ran
dolph citizens were turned upon the
decision of the commissioners con
cerning the funds for the building
of additonal school houses in the
county. A decision was planned for
this meeting and a continuation of the
discussion that was the vital topic of
•a recent call meeting of the board re
vealed that it would not be wise to
give the government an answer un
til an agreement from Washington
concerning the $231,000 allottment
from the PWA fund of the state. Both
the county commissioners and the
county board of education, also in ses
sion on this date, decided that the an
swer requested by the PWA should be
delayed until this agreement from
Washington comes. It will, therefore,
be necessary to hold a call meeting
as soon after agreement arrives as
is possible. /
Road work and petitions consumed
considerable time at this meeting
with a number of petitions read and
delegations heard. The petition rel
ating to the road beginning at the J.
M. Burrows home place and running
north along the eastern border of
the town of Asheboro about a mile,
constructing the road as near as pos
sible along the line of the old road
as is possible, was adopted by the
commissioners.
Another petition adopted by the
board was a recommendation to the
state highway department for con
struction of a road leading from high
way 70 about a fourth mile north of
the city limits of the town up through
the north side of the Plummer prop
erty, which is known as the sub di
vision “North Side Terrace”—approx
imately three fourths of a mile. The
road should be worked and graded
and needs new bridges.
It was also ordered by the board
that several people.4fct£e^|nded small
sums on back taxes for VfcTious reas
ons appearing sufficient to the group.
Dog tax was also a topic for discus
sion in that refunds were necessary
in some cases where people were
charged with possession of more dogs
than they own.

join in this occasion that means so
much to young people finishing High

The speaker used as a basis for his
message the Parable of the Talents,
urging the class to go out in life,
overcoming all fears and handicaps,
making use of every opportunity to
make of themselves something worth

The counsel of the minister was
eminently appropriate to the occasion

One Negro Killed
And Another Shot
During Week End
Arthur Stout Is Pushed Into
Path of Oncoming Car; Dies
Within Twenty Minutes.
Asheboro was the scene of one ne
gro shooting and one negro death by
violence over the week end. On Sat
urday night, as Arthur Stout, aged
18, was walking from a show, with
a negro girl, he was allegedly pushed
into the path of a moving car, the
door handle stabbed him in the back, i
He staggered back and crumpled to'
the pavement, dying 20 minutes later
en route to the hospital. Several ver
sions of the killing have been given
j and the truth of the matter has evi
dently not yet been found. May 17
has been set as the date for a final
hearing.
Stout died from internal hemor
rhage, the stab, more than three
inches deep, severing an artery.
On Sunday night, in the colored sec
tion, Clarence Siler shot Alonzo
Strickland in the arm with a large
calibre revolver, the ball piercing high
up Strickland’s arm and splintering
the bone. The wounded man is Siler’s
brother-in-law and, it is alleged, that
he knocked Siler’s sister down and
was preparing to stomp her when
Siler ran out and shot him. Latest
reports gave Strickland’s condition as
very dangerous. Siler is held without
privilege of bond.
