Beginners Day To
Be Observed Today
In Asheboro School
Summer Round-Up Of Local
Children Who Will Enter
School In The Fall
Entertainment Slated
Forms Have Been Sent Out To
Many Children; Parents
Urged To Cooperate
The Asheboro school is looking for
ward to its Beginners’ I>ay program
on Friday, April 24, at which time
the school will have as its guests the
pre-school children who will enter
school next September. Mrs. W. L.
Lambert, summer round-up chairman
of the P.-T. A.; Dr. G. H. Sumner,
county health physician; the school
superintendent and the teachers of the
first grade have completed plans for
the reception and entertainment of
these future pupils of the Asheboro
city schools, and they would like to
have every prospective beginner come
to the public school on next Friday
and enjoy the party that has been
planned for them.
In order to handle the crowds, the
program for the day will be divided
into two parts, and the pie-school
children will be entertained in two
groups which will be determined ac
cording to place of residence. Those
who live on the west side of Asheboro
will be expected to come in the morn
ing for the program which will begin
at 9:00 o’clock, and those on the east
side of Asheboro will be expected to
come in the afternoon for the program
that will begin at one o’clock p. m.
The imaginary line separating the
east and west sides of the town will
be the Norfolk-Southern railroad and
the cemetery.
The program will consist of plays
to be giver, at nine o’clock and one
o’clock respectively. Ice cream will
be served and the beginners will have
the opportunity to visit in the first
grade rooms. The usual pre-school
clinic will be held under the direction
of Dr. Sumner and several members
of the P.-T. A. will be on hand to help
carry out the program. Forms have
been sent out upon which to get the
names and ages of these beginners.
The exact age of each beginner is
requested because a child who will not
be six years old until after October
I, 1936, can not enter school next
year, but will have to wait until the
following year. This is now a state
regulation which was decided upon by
the state school commission recently.

Andy Marley, Young Colored
Man, Is Victim Of Cave-In
Accident On Streets
Suicide Occurs In
Barn Near Ramseur
Riggs Up Shotgun With String
To Make Certain Of Death
When Trigger Snaps
Ramseur, April 23. — Excitement
reigned for a half hour on Liberty
street Wednesday afternoon when
Andy Marley, young colored man of
the community, was buried in the
ditch now being dug for the local
waterworks project. Marley, who has
been at work on the ditch for several
weeks, was the victim of a cave-in
that buried him entirely—leaving only
the top of his hat visible.
Other workmen came to his rescue
immediately and extra help worked as
rapidly as possible but it caused con
siderable excitement in the town while
the recovery process was in motion.
Marley, the son of Sara Marley, well
known colored woman of Ramseur*
was not severely injured and it was
not deemed necessary to take him to
a hospital. First aid medical treatment
was administered immediately and it
is thought that he will suffer no
permanent ill effects from the near
tragedy.
Excitement flared again in Ramseur
Wednesday afternoon when Ernest
Godfrey, IS, shot himself in a bam
some two miles east of Ramseur.
Godfrey has not been well, but was
at work and his act was entirely un
expected. Someone nearby heard the
shot and found the young colored man
dying. He used a shot gun which he
rigged up with a string, leaving no
doubt as to the suicide idea in hi3
mind. Friends say Godfrey had been
suffering from a severe cold, from
which he had apparently recovered.
He figured in a minor automobile
wreck also that may have worried
him. Godfrey is a son of D. Godfrey
who, with' his wife and large family
of children, lived in Asheboro until
a few years ago when they moved to
the Ramseur section. D. Godfrey con
tinues to sell his baskets in the
county’s capital, however.
The waterworks project continues
to go forward, but slowly, due to
weather conditions at intervale. The
work on. Liberty street,, that was
hoped to have been completed by this
tima, will not be finished for another
week.
Dr. C. S. Tate continues very ill at
his home on Liberty street.
Dr. S. G. Gordon Is
Speaker At Kiwanis
Meeting Tuesday Eve
A number of preachers of the

was a short talk by Dr. S. T. Gordon,
who used as his subject the life of A.
J. Cashatt, one time president of the
Pennsylvania railroad system. Dr.
Gordon was introduced by Dr. C. G.
Smith.
Besides Rev. H. P. Powell, Rev. N.
M. Harrison and Rev. L. R. O’Brian,
who are members of the club, there
were present Rev. Odell Brown,

club plans to entertain the preachers
of the county annually.
I. C. Moser and Dr. R. P. Sikes in
troduced their wives as their guests*
and Rufus Hill presented Will Lamb
as his guest. Mrs. L. R. O’Brian was
guest of her husband, and played the
piano for the Kiwanis songs.
On motion of I. C. Moser, it was
decided that the Kiwanis Club would
meet in joint session with the Funeral
Directors who are to be in convention
