terms as "vague," “indefinite,”

used.

a d lferent section of the speech
and gave what they said was the
reaction of their states.
Those who spoke were George

Pennsylvania were "bitterly dis

speech because of its “vague, far

Popular Asheboro Woman Plans
To Celebrate 90th Birthday, 5th
All the graceful phrases as
“Grow old along with me, the best
is yet to be” and the “becoming
ness of old age,” do not tit Mrs.
Jesse G. Miller as she approaches
her 1'Oth birthday on Wednesday,
August 5th—for she is not old.
Belying the fact that she was born
August 5, 1*846, with her well pre
served body, alert mind, fresh
complexion and springing step, she
discusses Asheboro as it was forty
years ago. Strangely enough, Mrs.
Miller came to Asheboro forty
years ago—-on her birthday.
Sitting on her comfortable,
breezy porch when the rest of the
town was sweltering with the ex
treme heat, Mrs. Miller looked far
across town in several directions,
recalling changes that have come
with the years. Directly in front
of her house is the new First

is moving along toward a finish

the ease of Lula A. Curtis vs. E.

was argued, well into Thursday,
lids case involved the breaking of

techanicalities of tedious nature.
Other cases of the week have
included the r:e e of Randolph

Co. wherein the county of Randolph
became the last highest bidder in
the case in question with no raise
of hid within the legal time limit.
The county of Randolph, for a
good consideraiion, has tiansf'erred
and set over the bid to Mrs. Kamil
T. Baldwin. who is to have im
mediate possession.
In the case of A. C. Ciirisco vs.
J. li. Norman, a voluntary non
suit was taken. In the case of Ran

cording to announcement by Wayne
C. Taylor, acting secretary of the
treasury. Sales in 1036 grew at a
rate bo per cent greater than that
in 1035. evidence that the people
are taking to this form of invest
ment more and more each day. The
sales since the beginning of the
new fiscal year, July 1, are even
better, being approximately 75 per
cent ahead of average sales for
July. 1(r;5.
J. O. Redding Ashebnro post
master. declared that the savings
bonds had proven very attractive
as an investment to the patrons of
the local postoffice. Many have
taken advantage of the oppor
tunity, some $20,000 worth of the
bonds having been sold during the
quarter ending June 30 to Ashe
boro patrons, the bonds ranging in
denomination from $25 to $1,000.
Mr. Redding said prospects for the
present quarter are equally good.
Mr. Redding explained for the
benefit of prospective investors
that though they are deferred pay
ment bonds they are redeemable
at any time after sixty days with
interest at the U. S. Treasury.
Another advantage of these bonds
is that they are non-taxable, yet
bear 3''< interest, approximately
1' more than the average non
taxable investment.
Tabulated figures on the audited
sales in the various states ‘for
-April show Illinois in first place

Carolina nineteenth, having sold
$351,262.50 worth of savings bonds.

be purchased at all post offices of
the first and second class, at most
of the third class, and at some of
the fourth class offices or direct
hy-mail from the Treasurer of the
United States, or any Federal Re
serve Bank. The direct-by-mail
sales have likewise shown a con
sistent ratio of increase during the
last several months. The upward
trend of sales is apparently due not
only to increasing numbers of new
purchasers but to the purchases
made by present owners at regular
intervals.
To date there have been issued
approximately 1,700,0(11) savings
bonds. As the limitation of in
dividual ownership is restricted by
law to >10,000, maturity value, is
sued during any calendar year, the
sales have been attained oniy
through wide distribution to in
vestors throughout the nation. A
huge percentage of the individuals
and corporations that purchased
during the year 1035 the $10,000,
