Asheboro’s Population Now
Necessitates More Change
For sometime Randolph citizens have
called attention to the fact that this
newspaper carrier a census figure that
is five years old. The caption in the
corner of the frout page of The Cour

Asheboro, ‘center of North Carolina’ ”
must, therefore, he changed due to
the fast growth of the town.
A conference with the city hall of*
ficials and some figuring on the part
of Walter Yow, city cleric, estimates
that Asheboro’s population is now
something more than 7,000 people.
The census giving the town 6/121 citi
zens was taken in 1980. At that time
the population of the town had more
than doubled since the census taken
ton years before.
Few towns of this section of the
state can boast of a doubled popula
tion in ten years. But a doubled popu
lation without substantial growth does
not mean a lot. Asheboro has seen
a great many new industries and busi
ness concerns come up and enlarge

Survey Of Negro
Folk In Randolph
Now Being: Drawn
Professor C. A. Barnett is making
a study and survey of the economic
•and social welfare of the colored peo
ple of Randolph county during the •va
cation period. It is expected to show
something of the progress of colored
people along educational, religious,
and agricultural and industrial lines.
The stability of the race will also he
revealed, as to whether or not, they
are shifting, continuous moving people.
It will further attempt to correlate
home ownership and church relation
ship with good citizenship. As much
as possible, and convenient, pictures of
some of the leading colored people,
their homes, or features of special, in
terest, will appear in the write up.
5n making "this survey Prof. Bar
rett intends to visit every section of
the county, and asks for the legal co
operation of the -people in this effort.
The report will "be published in book
form, or made a special edition for
the local papers, and is expected to be
ready during the latter part of the
summer. A favorable report may re
mit in worthwhile publicity for “Ran
dolph county, and the Inducement to
worthy citizens taking up residence

dant resources.
stores and handsome dwellings that
can in no manner be classed as “mush
room growth" is Ashebore's record.
Never in the history of the town or
county has there been anythin* of this
nature, rather substantial progress
that means substantial prosperity.
While Asheboro has seen new citi
zens come in recent years, they have
been people who came live and let live.
Some of these newcomers have erect
ed and operated textile plants with
our own textile mm. They have
bought property, entered into our
civic and social life along with the
business of Asheboro and have joined
hands with the life-long residents who
are working for just such a substanti
al progress for Asheboro as now ex
ists.
Therefore The Courier gladly, and
with considerable pride as well,
change* the population figures on the
front page and pledges anew the real
purpose of a county newspaper—

The Courier is cooperating with a

“peddlers” of all description who do

in the beginning of the plans, it seems

and make the citizens of the town and
county conscious of trading at home.

Carl Goerch, editor of The State, of

office this week—Monday, in fact and

cheery manner. Mr. Goerch was re

that Mr. Goerch is not the only one
who considers that he made an un
usually good speech on this occasion.
tual understanding and consultation
of heads of such organizations and
departments as are combined in the
organization, it will be possible to
give more efficient service to the coun
ty's unfortunates.
This organization is purely a wel
fare movement and is not connected
with the Emergency Relief work in
any way, dealing, as it does, with un
employables only. It will be recalled
that in January 1986* this work was
made entirely independent of the fed
eral emergency work in the county.
It will also be recalled by many that
there was at that time no financial
provision for this work since it re
verted to the county after the change
in relief plans.
The newly organized council is
sponsored by the county board of wel
fare composed of Mr. Lloyd, superin
tendent, E. H. Cranford, King Moore
and Mias May McAllister. The sup
erintendent and the board are grate
ful to the people of Randolph and to
the organizations participating and
cooperating with them in this work
