Arrives In Asheboro; Many
Improvements On Building
The arrival of Reginald Turner in
Asheboro this week makes school time
seem just around the comer, despite
August weather. Mr. Turner comes
to Asheboro to fill the vacancy left by
Superintendent R. J. Hilker, who
served the children and citizens of
Asheboro in that capacity for nine
years. Mr. Turner has for the past six
years been superintendent of the large
consolidated school at Shallotte, in
eastern Carolina.
Mr. Turner is pleased with Ashe
boro and anticipates living in the town
with considerable pleasure. Especially
pleased is the new school head with
the improvements now in progress on
the school building. It will be recalled
that sometime ago a number of im
provements were made on the build
ing and more would have been made,
according to the plans of the board,
had not the money given out. At the
present time, however, the windows
along the entire east side of the
building are being worked on. The
window space is now almost doubled
across this darker side of the building.
Some skylights are being installed and
other necessary improvements started.
The furnace is also being worked on
and added to during this period.
J. O. Redding, chairman of the
board wants it made clear at this
time that the improvements on this
building are not to overshadow the
hope of a new school building for

A Distinct Honor
Accepts Position Of Regional
Supervisor Of RRA Pro

J. B. Slack, Jr., son of J. B. Slack
of Seagrove, who has been farm agent
for Johnston county since 1929, has
resigned that post to accept a high
position with the Rural Resettlement

habilitation Section of the Rural Re
settlement Administration with head
quarters in Raleigh. In his new post
Mr. Slack will supervise the rural
rehabilitation program for five states
comprising this particular region of
the RRA set-up.
In a long news story, in which Mr.
Slack’s picture was featured, The
of Johnston county, that paper saidfV
“The announcement of the resignation
comes as a blow to hundreds of John
ston county farmers with whom Mr.
Slack has worked diligently since as
suming his duties here as farm agent
six years ago. The appointment to the
new position, however, comes as a dis
tinct honor to one who has already
distinguished himself in his chosen
field of endeavor.
“In accepting the new position, then,
Mr. Slack is not leaving the field of
agriculture. His work in helping the
down and out farmers back on their
feet will be closely allied with the pro
gram of the agricultural extension
service.”
Mr. Slaek will take up his new du
ties Monday. His wife, who has helped
with the farm program in Johnston
county, will continue her work in
Smithfield for a while longer. The
family do not contemplate moving to

County Board Meets On Tuesday
For Business Session To Dis
cuss County’s Finances
1935 Rate Wifi Be
$1.24 Cents, Decision
County Notes Sold By Local
Gov’t. Commission Bought
By Two Local Banks
Since 1927, it has been the custom
to set the county tax rate at an ad
journed session of the county board
of commissioners held in July. This
meeting was held on Tuesday, July
30th, with all members of the board
present. Several other important mat
ters were also decided by the board
at this meeting, which was entirely for
private discussion,, tabulation and
study of county finances.
The tax rate was set at $1.24 for the
coming year. This rate is two cents
higher than the rate for present year
which has been $1.22. The increase is
due to the high debt service of the
county, including bonds and outstand
ing indebtedness incurred over a per
iod of several years. This debt service
is $1.04 which leaves twenty cents for
the operation of the county. Were it
not for this accumulated debt service^
Randolph county’s tax rate could be
the lowest of any county around. The
commissioners spend a great deal of
time, thought and study to the fixing
of this rate, attacking the subject
from every possible angle. This rate
is, of course, tentative, since by the
law of the county, the rate must be
posted or filed in the office of the
register of deeds for 20 days after it
is set for public inspection.
Another matter of considerable in
terest to the people of the county was
the sale of seventy thousand dollars
in notes for Randolph which were
sold on Tuesday by the local govern
ment commission in Raleigh. The
Bank of Randolph and the First Na
tional Bank, both Asheboro institu
tions, purchased the notes at the re
markably low rate of four per cent
with a $5.00 retirement premium.
These notes were executed on Wednes
day by M. E. Johnson, chairman of
the board.
It was further decided to borrow
$175.00 from the PWA for the por
| local school building. This work is now
in progress and is completing work
started during last school term when
funds gave out and the work could not
