monthly session in the court house in
Asheboro, discussing matters of im
portance to the school system of Ran

in every section to have a new school
building by a committee and the mat
ter will also be referred to the state

ed by the board. C. C. Homey was
appointed teacher for the year. The
selection was approved by the board
and the school is progressing satisfac
torily, as is the case in most sections
of Randolph, according to Superin
tendent T. F. Bulla, who made a re
port to the .board.
The board approved the sale of the
school lot at Charlotte in western
Randolph.
The school situation in the county,
on the whole, is quite satisfactory with
the several new .buildings now in pro
cess of erection almost complete, and
prospects of additional new buildings
at other places. The school book ren
tal system is going very well, but Mr.
Bulla expects it to gain in populari
ty as the people become more familiar
with its workings and the working
plans are perfected.
Mule Ghosts Arise

In Modern Building
Presnell And Hayworth Com
plete Handsome And Mod

Some six months ago, a landmark
of more than thirty years in Ashe
boro was tom down. Now a modern
and somewhat handsome building re
places this structure. The new Pres
nell-Hayworth stable, located along
the railroad track in south Asheboro, J
k the edifice in question. The building,!
made of cinder and cement blocks—
having the appearance of granite—is
completed this week and is now being
filled with a car load of mules. j
As these mules go into the well ven
tilated building, with electric lights,
running water, and other modem con
veniences, perhaps the ghosts of thou
sands of mules, housed in a very dif
ferent manner, will roll their eyes, up
ward and fold their ghostly robes
about them as they think of the con
trast.
More than thirty years ago this sta
ble was known as the R. R. Ross sta
ble and was known far and wide for
the fine horses and mules of the sta
ble. The late Mr. Rpss knew good
horse flesh and loved it and his rec

place during the World War with Zell

York bought Mr. Brown’s interest
which he retained until he bought the
bus line, of which he was an owner
at the time of his death.
Five years ago the present partner

and C. M. Hayworth, who have torn

the second of the crippled children’s

There were six more patients at

charge for operation and treatment is
being made to those who are able to

Those in charge are very anxious
that every crippled child in the coun

Several Ramseur Citizens Are
Patients At Randolph Hos
pital In Asheboro
Ramseur, Oct. 8.—Activity is noted
in Ramseur these days, not only in the
regular channels of industrial plants,
but special projects are keeping in
step with the times. Several groups of
workmen were on the job last week
and will be busy for osme time.
The South Eastern Public Service
company is rebuilding the telephone
system, most of which will be cables,
it is understood. lines of heavier
poles are being planted and the old
unsightly and cluttering network of
wires will be removed. It is hoped
that this improved system will result
in a much larger patronage, for the
great drawback, for present subscrib
ers is the limited number of phones
in use in the community. At present
there are only two telephones in south
half of Ramseur, when there should
be twenty. The rate that business
firms have to pay is just as much as
if they were connected with an addi
tional fifty homes, so for the benefit
of everyone in town let us hope there
will be a great increase in subscrib
ers when the system is put in. better
condition.
As the winter months come on our
streets will need improvement, so our
I town officials are repairing and
| building streets “while the sun
| shines.”
It is encouraging to see dimensions
being noted for water mains by an
other group of workmen. We don’t
know how long it will be before ac
tual work begins, but hope those in
charge will expedite the work with as
much haste as possible.
The Methodist church has greatly
improved the building here the past
week, placing a new roof on the au
ditorium and Sunday school rooms.
The Christian church people are plan
ning to repaint their building right
away too. It speaks well for a com
munity when the church property is
kept in good condition.
Dr, C. A. Graham is excavating for
a new home on his property in west

For The Schools
County To Accept PWA For
Erection Of Agricultural
Building For Randolph
Among' the first items disposed of
at the October meeting of the Ran
dolph board of commissioners held on
Monday, was the release of Carl E.
King, sheriff of Randolph, of all fur
ther liability in connection with the
1934 tax account. The report of the
A. T. Allen and Company, certified
accountants, was accepted as relating
to this matter and it was so recorded
on the books of the county. The audit
reveals $10,026.50 uncollected re

of $58,134.46, making the amount re
quired to settle $2,251.09 with a grand
total of $60,385.55. The above comes
from the condensed statement issued
by the A. T. Allen Company. An order
was formally issued to Sheriff King
by the commissioners to collect the
taxes for the year 1935 of Randolph
county amounting to $232,389.82 as of
the date, together with all other taxes
that may be added thereto for said
county, according to the provisions
and requirements of existing law.
A resolution was introduced and
passed authorizing $150,000 school
bonds by the county of Randolph and
providing for the principal and inter
est thereof. The resolution provided
since the board of education of the
county has determined that in order
to properly maintain the six months’
public school term required by the
constitution, it is necessary to . con
struct new school buildings, additions
and improvements to present build
ings, it was necessary to issue bonds
to this amount, with four per cent
interest, payable semi-annually.
It was moved and passed by the
board that the county accept the of
fer of the PWA for the erection of
an agriculture building for the coun
ty, and that E. S. Millsaps, county
farm demonstrator, be authorized to
execute all forms before the board
in connection with the transaction.
