The Health Officer and Nurse have
heen busy the month of June holding
vaccination clinics throughout the
county. At these clinics we give ty
phoid inoculations, toxoid to young
children to immunized against diph
theria, and a few small pox vaccina
tions. Two days, Tuesdays and Satur
days, of each week are given to the
same work at the Health Office in
! Asheboro.
The Health Officer and Nurse dur
ing the month of June traveled 880
miles holding. 116 clinics at fifty-two
different places. 5100 doses of typhoid
vaccine were given. We have given
the complete typhoid treatment to 820
persons and partially completed to
three times as many more. 382 chil

Randolph Superior
Court To Convene
Two Weeks’ Session
On Monday, July 15th, a two week’s
term of court for the trial of civil cas
es will commence in Asheboro. This
is the regular term of Superior court
for Randolph county and is composed
of cases that will probably not arouse
a great deal of interest, involving no
great sums of money or property.
There are nine divorce cases slated
for the opehing morning which will
probably be disposed of first of all.
Judge John Clement will preside over
the docket. Judge Clement has been
in Asheboro several times to hold
court and is greatly admired by many
people in this section of the state.
The report that one week will be
given over to the trial of criminal cas
es is not true and was probably start
ed because of the fact that at one
time recently a special term of crimi
nal court was granted Randolph in
July to clear a congested docket.

Ramseur had a large crowd at the
Ramseur Liberty game on the fourth

that looked favorable to Ramseur in
the first half, but later resulted in a
victory for Liberty.
The order was good throughout the
game and there were no casualties
during the day, however late at night
Will Spain, colored, of Asheboro and
Danville was run over and suffered a
fractured skull, dying the next day
at Randolph hospital. The accident
occurred near the town limits in West
Ramseur. The driver of the death
car failed to stop, but passersby
picked the victim up and took him to
the hospital. Officers are investigat
ing the case.
The attendance at the celebration of
the fourth of July at Central Service
station was a record breaker at night,
especially. The barbecue and the mo

folks that could find a place to crowd
into the space and along the high

Congratulated Upon
2 Progressive Years
As the National Chair company cel
ebrates the close of their second year
of business, a comparative look back
ward is of interest to Asheboro and
Randolph county. On July 1st, two
years ago, W. C. Lucas assumed
management of the plant, which is
owned by C. C. Cranford. During the
two years Mr. Lucas has added new
machinery and made extensive addi
tions to the buildings.
Two years ago this enterprise em-,
1 ployed thirty men, with a limited num
ber of items in the out-put of the fac
tory. Now', approximately one hun
dred and fifty employes are on the
pay-roll.
In addition to new machinery, the
limited number of items made by the
plant have been expanded with a large
selection of popular numbers, all of
which secures a steady run for the
company with a large, steady pay
roll which touches every business

Randolph County Fair

To Plan Exhibits Now

Is Admonition To County
Folk In Lieu of Fair.
While the weather does not indicate
that Randolph county fair-time is not
far distant, W. A. Bunch, secretary
of the association, reminds us that
now is the time to plan for a goo4
agricultural exhibit. As the fair offi
cials phrase it, “work the pumpkins
and pray for rain” so the Randolph
county fair will be a complete success.
A cursory glance at the fair will re
veal the fact that the exhibits in this
county are far above the average dis
play at most small fairs, and at
much larger displays as well. Part
of this success comes from early plan
ning as well as cooperation at the fall
season.
Already officials are beginning t»
