T. King Will Replace W. A. Jones In Asheboro Store Jones Will Assume Duties As District Manager Of Three N. C. Jones’ Variety Stores Wiley Jones, who has for the past five years managed the Asheboro branch of Jones’ 1 cent to $6 stores, was promoted Monday to general manager for the Jones’ variety stores in Asheboro, Liberty and Madison, which are a part of the group of eight Jones’ stores in Piedmont North Caro lina. Mr. Jones, a life-long resident of Asheboro, will continue to make his home here, though increased busi ness activities of these popular stores will make it necessary for him to divide his time among the three towns. His place in the Asheboro firm will be taken by J. T. King, who has had eight years experience as manager for various of Rose’s 5-10-25 cent stores, four years of which were in Rose’s store at Asheboro. He comes here now from Newberry, South Carolina, and will bring his family here in a short time. Improvements will be made in the near future at the store to make room for a more complete line of variety merchandise. The many friends whom Mr. King made during his previous stay in Asheboro will be glad to learn that he is back. Mr. King is himself very enthusiastic about returning to Ashe boro, which he declares is one of the finest towns he has lived in among his many different locations. Asheboro Colored Man Is Killed On Monday Night Late Boyd Chriacoe, young colored man of Asheboro is dead, as a result of a shooting scrape at the Harlem Times dub. There was a dance known as a “cotton stmt parade” staged by a dub of the town and the shooting scrape followed the dance. Police have been working on the case ever since it reached their at tention about 1:00 o’clock Monday night—or Tuesday morning, to bd exact. So far as Asheboro officers can learn, there was an argument between Boyd fChriseoe and LeRoy LeGrand and Legrand is said to have shot Chriscoe. The police are somewhat discouraged with progress at present, due to the fact that all members of the club and attendants at the dance claim to have been at home in bed at the time of the shooting.

UnofficialTabulation Of Primary Vote Reveals Heavy Vole In Randolph -!-♦ Junior Coach j COACH CHICK DOAK Coach Chick Doak In Asheboro Ready Legion Coaching Well Known Coach From State College Will Spend Month In Asheboro With Legion Team Experienced Player Guilford College Alumnus; Has Played Many Types Of Sports As Well As Coaching The Asheboro Junior American Legion baseball team, which has been showing such good form in its early exhibition games will have the as sistance of Charles “Chick” Doak, head baseball coach at North Carolina college, in its campaign for the Le gion championship. Rufus Routh, athletic manager for Ben Dixon post, "announces that Doak has arrived in Asheboro. Doak is expected to remain in Asheboro about a month, coaching the boys and helping Routh to select those best qualified for positions on the team. His presence will improve not only the playing ability of the team, but also its fighting spirit and sense of sportsmanship. At State he in tills in his players an indomitable spirit that they display not only on the baseball diamond, but in their daily life. Doak is not only a builder of base ball teams, but a builder of men. The public knows him, however, as a coach as he has taken boys with no baseball experience and has develop ed them into big league material. A good example is Stuart Fly the, a star pitcher of this year’s team. Flythe never pitched ball before coming to State, but Doak took him in charge and today he is a member of the (Please turn to page l) MISS ALMA KEE ACCEPTS POSITION Miss Alma Kee assumed her duties as county public health nurse on Monday, and is now busy assisting Dr. G.

Bonus Bonds Of World War Veterans Due At Asheboro Postoffice Shortly During the following week or ten days the post office will be busy handl ing the bonus bonds coming to all veterans of the World War, accord ing to. a statement issued Monday by J. O. Redding, postmaster. The bonds were mailed out to veterans all over the country on June 16, and they should be received by ex-service men in Aaheboro on June 16 or 17. The bonds must be certified and then re toroed to one of the twelve designated paying post offices, which will send out checks for the proper amount. The process is complicated and will entail a great deal of extra work for the local post office force, as very careful records must be kept of such details as the serial numbers of the bonds and the receipts given veterans while the bonds are being cashed. What a task this may be can be guessed from the fact that R. L. Briles, commander of the Ben Dixon post of the American Legion, has registered nearly 400 men as being eligible for the bonus. Mr. Briles also announced that local veterans are anxious to cooperate with load post office authorities to make the delivery and payment of the bonds Due To Errors In Returns From Three Precincts, Official Tabulation Not Available County Vote Heavy And Close Often State Officers Will Require Second Primary For Governor And Other Offices Due to errors in the reports com ing in from three precincts, the can vassing board, in session in Asheboro, since 10:00 o’clock Tuesday morning, | had not completed their official count as this newspaper goes to press.

Argus Barker, is having a small store erected on the southwest comer of his lot. The new business place is nearing completion and from present looks, it will be a very nice little store. Mr. Barker is an old Randle man merchant and was connected with the Randleman Bargain House for many years until a few months ago. Plans are now being made for the erection of a modem filling station on the comer of Main and Coal Shoot street here. This comer has been occupied by a home belonging to O. C. Marsh, but this residence was moved over several yards during the past week, making an ideal location for this proposed filling station. The Duke Power Company of High 'Point,' who has (Jpened a hew store here, has announced that they will have their store completely stocked by the end of this week and that plans for a lawn display party will be made in a few weeks, and at which time free lessons on cooking will be given to the women of the town.
