NOT MEN rt-A* The Regulator **ni«7 2, 1876 _gMertPaper Published In Randolph County" ASHEBORO. N. C-, TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 1936. Changed To The Courier September 13, 1879 $2.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE PUBLISHED TUESDAY AND FRIDAY NUMBER 35 Sunday calling upon the delegates to the Democratic national conven tion to set aside Roosevelt for some genuine Democrat. The statement, timed for publication a day before the opening of the convention in Philadelphia, accused Roosevelt of attempting to buy the presidency by misuse of public funds, of losing our domestic markets by catering to foreign nations, and of piling up huge deficits instead of balancing the budget. Smith’s associates in the move are former Governor Joseph B. Ely of Massachusetts, former Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, former Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby, and Daniel F. Cohalan, former justice of the Supreme Court of New York. PRESIDENT SIGNS MEASURE assuring unemployment aid Washington. — President Roose velt signed Monday the relief deficiency bill appropriating $1,425, 969,000, chiefly for WPA, thus as suring continued federal aid for 2^00,000 unemployed. Harry L. Hopkins, federal director of WPA, has virtually completed his or ganization for the program, few changes being necessary from the set up now in force, and the new system will be put into practice im mediately. State and local admini strators are expected to have more authority and greater responsibility than formerly, as they will not only select workers, but will decide how many hours they shall work and what projects not yet completed under the old program shall be con tinued. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ADOPTS RECOVERY PLAN Washington.—The United States Chamber of Commerce announced Sunday a program by which it hopes to effect economic recovery and in creased employment. Without offer ing any definite solution to these problems the business executives subjects are reduction in public expenditures, government competi tion with private industry, social security, state compacts, employ ment, monetary policy, tariff treat ment of agricultural products, prices in distribution; merchant marine legislation and government reorganization. NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN NEAR EASTERN SITUATION Montreux, Switzerland.—The in* temational conference which con vened at Montreux Monday to dis cuss Turkey’s request for fortifica tion of the Dardanelles is expected to branch out into a general con sideration of military and naval problems of the Mediterranean. Great Britain is known to be eager for a continuance of the guarantees of mutual assistance exchanged by her with France, Yugoslavia, Greece and Turkey against Italy, such as existed *while the recently withdrawn sanctions were in force. DEMOCRATS READY FOR OPENING OF CONVENTION Philadelphia.—With the Demo cratic national convention ready to open at noon Tuesday in Phila delphia interest among delegates centered around two questions, abrogation of the rule requiring a two-thirds majority for nomina tion .which seems assured, and Roosevelt’s platform proposals, which are uncertain and con sequently causing mMtk discussion. Many delegates wen outspoken against A1 Smith for his movement to oust Roosevelt, but if he attends the convention, which appears doubtful, he will be accorded full privileges and an opportunity to present his views. BRITISH FLIER CRASHES ON NORMANDIE’S DECK Gosport, England.—As passeng ers from the United States were dis embarking from the French liner Normandie Monday at Gosport, they were surprised by the sight of an airplane, apparently under good «®ntnd, suddenly crashing mi the deck.

Improves After Accident Liberty Milling Co. | Reopens This Week olidays Several Bu Signed Aj I ten With fir'd Reitzel Will Mean Merchants Get Good To liberty rmers Who For Grains Firms Have ent; Personal Interest Liberty, June 22.—Liberty Milling Company, which has been closed for the past several weeks, plans to re open for business Monday morning under the management of Boyd Reitzel. Mr. Reitzei has a well known reputation for fine work and will make some changes in the mill, reducing | the cost of operation and thus enabl ing him to give the highest allowance possible for grain brought to the mill. It will mean much to the Liberty merchants to have this mill open again, since farmers from Randolph, Guilford, Alamance, Chatham and even other counties tying their com and grain to this mill. Mr. Reitzel wishes to thank the fanners for their patronage in the past, and ask for their continued support. Miss Madge Moore left recently week for Burlington, where she has accepted a position. Mrs. C. E. Kelly of Sanford spent last week as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Worth Kelly. Rev. Q. O. Lyerly of Troutman was called to Liberty Wednesday to con duct the funeral of Mrs. L. C. Work man.

V. i Norris, finding that many applicants i for driver’s licenses are ignorant of the proper procedure, has issued a statement waning against unneces sary notarization. Many drivers have had their applications signed by notaries, said Patrolman Norris, when it was not only unnecessary, but even valueless. No application is good un less it is signed by a state patrolman or a state driver’s license inspector. Going to a notary merely means the useless expenditure of money and confusion for Norris and the appli cant who may think he is qualified. Norris stated that until November 1, 1936, notaries were authorized to 1 sign applications, but that after that date their signatures were invalid, and evidently many people are una ware of the change. He has been in Asheboro for ten months and has had an increasing number of troublesome cases where drivers, having applied to notaries, were riding around wait ing in vain for their applications to be returned from Raleigh. He is in his office at the court house from 9 to 10:30 every week day except Saturday, when his office hours are from 9 to 12. In the future, he an nounced, anyone caught driving while waiting for his license application signed only by a notary to be return ed, will be arrested. H. R.

I Randolph County Schools Will Have Same Teacher Allotment As Last Year, Says T. F. Bulla Since the state school commission re-adopted Thursday the same basis for teacher allotment for the 1936 3937 session as was used during 1935-1936, T. Fletcher Bulla, county superintendent of education, has been able to estimate the number of teachers for the Randolph county school system next year. Mr. Bulla considers that there will be very nearly the same number as the past year, when 210 white and 26 colored teachers were employed. Changes throughout the county will be slight, with the loss of one or two in one community being offset by the gain of a couple in another. Because of the fact that teacher allotments are made on, average daily attendance rather than* on total en rollment, the bad weather during the winter and the resulting enforced absences prevented an increase in the Asheboro Rotarians Disclose Activity In Committee Reports The Asheboro Rotarians concluded their reports Friday on the work of the club for the year 1936-1936 as L. F. Ross told of the progress made by the club service committee. Mr. Ross presented the report in the absence of the chairman of the com mittee, Murray Field, who is attend ing the Rotary International conven tion at Atlantic City. The committee was very active during the year, with especial accomplishments in Rotary education, fellowship, and good pro grams. Members were entertained by two reels of motion pictures put on by R. A. Nance through the courtesy of the Chevrolet Motor company. The first of these showed the need of an adequate schooling before undertak ing the duties of life, while the second ■ taught the lesson of safety on the' highway. At the next meeting J. H. Mitchell of Franklinville, one of the Rotary club’s delegates to the Duke Institute of International Relations .will speak of his experiences at the institute. Drive Carefully—Save a Life National Safety Council Reports On Accidents In U. S. During Year 1935 The report of the National Safety Council on accidents in 1935, made public recently, reveals some startl ing figures. 101,000 people were killed in accidents in the United States in 1935, and the number of injured reach ed the amazing total of 9,340,000. These accidents involved a property loss of $3,450,000,000, or an average of $27.06 for each of the 127,000,000 persons in the country. The import ance of these figures is increased when it is realized that they are based on actual records, not estimates, as is often the case. Automobile accidents, as was to be expected, formed the greatest single source of danger. 37,000 deaths result ed from motorcar mishaps, which in jured an additional 1,280,000. Of the latter, 108,000 were teaching force. The allotments allow six teachers for the first ISO pupils in elementary school, and one for each i 36 pupils thereafter; and four teachers for the first 85 pupils in high school, and one for each 35 thereafter. Appropriations for the physical features of the system, such as water, lights, heat aff& maintenance, have been increased. The teachers are also scheduled by statute to receive a 5% j salary increase, and the commission will consider salary scales at its next meeting early in July. Mr. Bulla is busy now with pre parations for the operation of the various units in the county school system. Statistics for the fiscal year 1935-1936, ending June 30, are beisg made ready, the supply of books is being checked, and coal is being purchased and delivered. Franklinville Man Dies Suddenly Of Paralytic Stroke George Kivett Reeves, Well Known Citizen, Is Buried Sunday Afternoon Marriage On Thursday 1 Many Visitors Over Past Week End. Franklinville Folk Also Visiting And Taking Trips Franklinville, June 22.—George Kivett Reeves, 77, died at his home I Friday evening. He had been in de I dining health for the past two years and upon his return from his store, , suffered a stroke of paralysis, death > following in a few hours. Funeral I service was held Sunday afternoon at | the Franklinville Baptist church, ' conducted by Rev. H. M. Stroup, as sisted by Rev. J. W. Williams. Inter ment followed in the church cemetery. He was a son of Albon Perry and Claracy Reeves. He was bom in (Please turn to page 5) crippled. This is a new casualty mark, despite the extensive campaigns carried on by civic and business organizations, particularly insurance agencies. The report showed that 31,500 were killed in accidents in the home in 1935, while 4,460,000 were temporarily dis abled and 140,000 permanently dis abled. 18,000 more died from drown ing, burns, falls, railroad wrecks, poison, etc. The number of automobile accident death shows a steady rise from 1928 to 1935, with the exception of one year, 1932, when the' depression was at its worst and fewer people were driving. The record by years is ’28, 27,996 fatalities; *29, 81,216; *30, 32,929; 'SI, 33,676; ’32, 29,461; ’S3, 31,363; *34, 36,101; *86, 37,000. Rally For Roosevelt Takes Place Sat Broadcast Address Asheboro Democrats Will Gather In Court House To Hear F. D. R. Accept Nomination Nation Wide Program Other Communities I n County To Participate In Rallies Honoring Roosevelt Saturday night Asheboro will be the scene of one of the many Roosevelt rallies which will be held simultane ously all over the country. President Roosevelt will appear before the Democratic National convention at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, at 0 p. m. our time to deliver an address, which is to be broadcast over the radio, accepting his nomination as Democratic candidate for re-election this fall. The rally in Asheboro will be in the court house, which will be provided with a radio with extra loud speakers so that the speech may be heard clearly by all. A committee to be an nounced later will make preparations for a complete program. Everyone in terested is urged to attend and help make the rally an outstanding demon stration. Rallies will also be held in Cole ridge, Ramseur, Liberty, and Randle man at 9 o’clock Saturday night. The local chairman for each town will an nounce the place. Citizens of towns and cities in all parts of the nited States are planning to meet in ball parks, theatres, ball rooms and other places large enough to hold the crowds I expected to gather for the occasion. | More than 100,000 people are ex (pected to be present in Franklin Field when Roosevelt speaks. This location was chosen rather than the regular convention hall, as the latter has a capacity of only 15,000. Arrangements for the rallies and broadcast were made by James A. Farley, chairman of the Democratic national committee. Seagrove Girls Are Center Of Interest In Asheboro Saturday Selling Tickets For Benefit Play, Focus Interest With Their Colorful Costumes Asheboro was struck Saturday afternoon by a whirlwind of gaily costumed young beauties who swept through the streets refreshing the sight of the hot, tired townspeople and attracting the attention of the curious wherever they went. When the storm subsided enough for the cautious to venture forth, it was learn ed that the girls were members of the chorus of the comedy “Miss Bluebonnet”, given in Seagrove Saturday night. They were advertis ing the performance and selling tickets at the same time, and from appearances doing a good job at both. The play was presented under the auspices of the Seagrove Ladies’ Aid Society for the benefit of the gym nasium, with Miss Jo Ellis Ballanc? as director and Mrs. J. A. Comer as accompanist. It was enthusiastically received by the audience, which seemed equally appreciative of the clever situations of the play and of the capable acting of the cast. The cast of characters included: Dr. Evans, J. M. Green; Mrs. Evans, Clara May Cagle; Magnolia Evans, Lucy Ellen Russell; Blue Bonnet, Frances Lilly; Burton Hills, Wade Harris; Hickory Stout, Clyde Graves; Minerva, Mrs. A. C. Harris; Janie Bell, Mrs. J. M. Green; Kate, Mrs. W. P.

Johnson, who has been ill for sometime, is in a critical condi tion at her home on North Fayetteville street. . 25,000 of the 37,000 auto deaths for 1935 occurred in rural districts, and 1 the majority on clear, straight roads. ! Pedestrians were victims in 44% of j the cases, automobile collisions ac \ counted for 26%, collisions of cars with fixed objects caused 12%, 6% were due to collisiosn with trains or street cars, and the remaining 12% followed non-collision accidents such as skidding and blow-outs. The investigations of the Safety Council also showed the relation of speed to fatalities. At 20 miles per hour one accident in 65 results fatally; 20-30 miles per hour, one out of 42; 30-40 miles per hour, one in 35; 40-50 miles per hour, one in 25; and over 50, one out of every 11 accidents is fmtml Democratic Leaders Cheer President Roosevelt Upon Arrival In Convention City -— -♦ Democrats Acclaim Ramseur News Over Current Week-End Of Varied Nature Picnic Dinner And Family Re union At Home Of Mr. And Mrs. E.

New Deal Hosts Stage Demon* st rat ion At Mention Of Presi dent Roosevelt’s Name A1 Smith Jeered As Enthusiastically Smith’s Stand Disliked As He Asks That President’s Policies Be Repudiated The new deal hosts were described in the press bulletins as in colorful convention array as they rolled into the convention city of Philadelphia Monday afternoon. The hearty cheers and enthusiasm for President Roose velt were described as a curtain-raiser with equally enthusiastic jeers for another one-time party nominee, Al fred E. Smith, whose name and brown derby were doffed about to the tune of “The Sidewalks of New York." According to reports, party leaders joined in the barrage of scorn, sarcasm and ridicule directed at the former governor of New York. The cause of the demonstration was A1 Smith’s I statement made Sunday night asking I that Roosevelt and his policies be re I pudiated at the national convention opening in Philadelphia today. It was obvious, however, that the policies outlined by A1 Smith did not meet with the approval of the Democrats as they gathered. It is not likely that his request for the party to nominate another candidate for president will be considered. Standing with former governor Smith in this joint timed statement for publication just the day before the opening of the convention of Democrats were former governor Joseph B. Ely, of Massachusetts, former senator James A. Reed of Mis souri, former secretary of state Bain bridge Colby and former state sup reme court justice Daniel F. Cohalan who demanded “the putting aside of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the substi tution of some genuine Democrat.” There was in the statement which was addressed “to the delegates of the national Democratic convention of 1936,’’ an expression closely akin to a threat to bolt if Mr. Roosevelt should be renominated. If the anti-Roosevelt drive failed they said, “then patriotic voters of all parties will know unhesitatingly to what standard they must rally in order to preserve the America of the great leaders of the past.” All five have been opesly hostile to President Roosevelt’s policies for some time, but this was their first move in concert. Instead of meeting with the ap proval that the quintet had hoped for, the cheering throngs were even more enthusiastic as they named their leader’s name. The party platform was on Monday being written at the White House and the administration’s proposal to change the party nominat ing rules is expected to go over with a good margin of approval. Other business which will probably come up at the convention is the matter of scarpping the ancient two thirds rule for nomination instead of a simple majority. A floor fight is imminent in this matter but tha presiderit’s cohorts claim that they have the majority with them. The platform is predicted to have such matters as he proposed crop in surance plank, the Townsend plan, constitutional wage hour amendment, j and the like with the currency mana gement prepared for a prolonged dis cussion behind committee doors. Resettlement Officials Visit Officials of the Resettlement Ad ministration in Washington visited the Randolph county office in Ashe boro Monday and conferred with J. Robin Baucom and Mrs. Mildred A. Huskins on the procedure in this county. Mrs. A1 Fairbrother Noted As Journalist Dies In California Mrs. Mamie Hatchett Fairbrother, who was known throughout North Carolina for her newspaper work and who had many friends in Randolph county, died Friday evening at her home in Long Beach, California. Fun eral service will be held at St. Andrew’s Episcopal church in Greens boro, where she formerly lived, and interment will follow in the Fair brother cemetery plot in Durham. Mrs. Fairbrother showed decided ability in writing at an early age and published a book of fiction at 18. She met her husband, Colonel A1 M. Fairbrother, himself a noted journ alist, through his interest in a feature article which was accompanied by her picture. Beside her journalistic writ ings Mrs. Fairbrother wrote poetry, and a collection of her poems was privately published.

Mrs. Rush is to report in Lexington Wednesday morningi Her place will be taken by Mrs. Natalia K. Harbin. ,,
