State Democrats
Propose Changes
At Long Session
Democratic Executive Com
mittee Has Heated Session
In Raleigh Friday
Remedy Balloting
Recommend That Primary
Elections Be Held On
Tuesdays, Not Saturdays
Many changes were proposed by
the State Democratic executive
committee in session in Raleigh
Friday for three hours. During
this time the election of a state
vice chairman was an important
item of the meeting and the discus
sion of many changes in the state’s
election laws, especially concerning
the primaries.
After a three-and-a-half-hour
session, marked by heated debate,
the Democrats adopted virtually all
election reforms advocated by a
sub-committee and elected Mrs. W.
B. Murphy of Snow Hill, Greene
county, vice chairman of the
party.
Mrs. Murphy, for six years a
member of the committee, defeat
ed Miss Ethel Parker of Gatesville
by a vote of 56 to 51). It was Miss
Parker’s third unsuccessful bid for
the post. She had claimed 67 pledg
ed votes from the executive com
mittee’s 133 members.
The Snow Hill woman succeeds
Mrs. J.* B. Spilman of Greenville,
who resigned the vice chairmanship
recently to become a state unem
ployment compensation commis
sioner.
The Democrats recommended to
;he General Assembly that primary
Sections be held on Tuesdays in
stead'of Saturdays, as in the past,
ind that a new registration be held
n every county in the state.
Vmong other changes in the state
ilection laws, suggested to the
legislators, follow:
1. That the polls be opened at 0
, m. and closed at 7 p. m., instead
f sunrise and sunset.
2. That in the event the second
arimary vote should fall on July 4,
t should be postponed until the fol
lowing Tuesday.
3. That primary and general
election laws be uniform through
out the state and that all local elec
ion laws be repealed except those
iroviding for the county election
dan of nominating otficers and;
hose applying only to town ami j
:ity primaries. |
4. That no markers be allowed at
;he polls, but that a person physi
:ally disabled or illiterate receive
issistance in marking his ballot
iither from the registrar or judges
>f election or from “any near re
ative of the voter,”
5. That persons desiring ab
sentee ballots must apply for them |
dther in person or by writing to
;he chairman of the county board
)f elections, and the chairman must
lumber each absentee ballot and
teep a record in a special registra
;ion book of the serial number is
sued to each person. <

Way nick Opposes
State Bond Issue
Reveals His Position In Letter
To Chamber Commerce
Head In East
An interesting item appearing in
the News and Observer of Friday,
a communication from Wilson, re
veals some interesting “inside” in
formation about the highway pro
blem now under discussion in the
state.
Though he admits in the . letter
that “several times $25,000,000 are
needed acutely for road construc
tion in this state” Capus Waynick.
chairman of the state highway
commission, has written Lester
Rose, secretary of the local Chamb
er of Commerce, that “in regard to
the second question, that having to
do with a- bond issue for $25,001),
000 for road construction I desire
to say that I would not vote for
such a bond issue if I were in the
General Assembly.”
He also directed Rose’s attention
to “the fact that the amendment to
the state constitution would make
it impossible to issue $25,000,000 of
new road bonds without a vote of
the people.”
“We have before us,” he wrote,
“a major problem in modernization
of our old principal roads in order
to make them both more conveni
ent and safer and an equally large,
and perhaps larger, problem in the,
improvement of our secondary
roads to make them passable the
year round. i
“The consolidation of the public j
schools has made more important |
than formerly a tremendous milage !
of dirt roads over which school
busses travel and I am painfully
conscious as chairman of your j
highway commission, of the vital j
relationship of the serviceability of
these roads to the continuation of |
satisfactory public educational ser- j
vice.
“I do not think it wise at the j
present time to increase the state ,
bonded debt for roads, but I think j
it better to proceed to the rapid re- j
duction of our present debt while ;
we preserve our revenue from
rather high taxation for the financ
ing of as competently planned pro
gram for road improvement as we
can work out.”

Randolph County Receives

Mrs. Henry Ingram, chairman
of the Randolph County Red
Cross, received a telegram Satur
day morning from National Red

Work Of Crippled Children
Already Gone Far In County
Seventeen Clinics Have Been
Held In Randolph With I
Further Plans Ready
The work for crippled children |
in Randolph county, which will be j
aided by the proceeds from the |
Roosevelt Birthday Ball, has al
ready produced very fine results.
Crippled Children’s Clinics are
held each month at the Randolph
hospital, 17 having been held to
date. They are conducted by Dr.
I Thomas F. Wheeldon of Richmond,
'Virginia, nationally known ortho
pedic surgeon who has been hold
ing some fifteen very successful
clinics throughout North Carolina
and Virginia in recent years. Dr.
Wheeldon is a member of the ad
visory board of the Warm
Springs Foundation, Warm
Springs, Georgia, which will share
i with Randolph county the money
j obtained from the ball. 70 per cent
I goes for work in this county and
i the Warm Springs Foundation
j gets 30 per cent.
! 69 children were treated at the
| clinics during the past year. Seven
j children have already been cured
j and dismissed. Others are gradual
! ly regaining the use of their afflict
ed limbs, but it is a slow process
and care must be taken to make
sure that the cure is complete be
fore the child is discharged.
Any child whose parents are
| not able to pay for treatment can
receive attention entirely free. The
more money the ball realizes, the
| more children will the clinic be
j able to care for. The county re
1 ceived $43.80 as its share of the
j 1935 ball, and a total of $1690 was
j spent for the clinics.
\ While Dr. Wheeldon has con
ducted the clinics and supervised
the cases, these cases have been
handled entirely through the local
family doctors. The success of the

clinics is largely the result of the
wholehearted cooperation of every
grohp which has a share in them,
Dr. Wheeldon and his stafF, local
doctors, the hospital, and the peo
ple of Asheboro and the county. It
is this same spirit of cooperation
which is counted on to make the
Roosevelt Birthday Ball on
January 30 the best ever held here.
Two Schools Are
Forced To Close
County Superintendent of j
Schools T. Fletcher Bulla stated
Saturday that Trinity and Provi
dence schools closed Thursday and
Friday because of bad roads, but
that Providence would be able to
reopen Monday and Trinity Wed
nesday.
Mr. Bulla has investigated the
conditions at the schools in the
county and after a conference with
E. O. Russell, highway superinten
dent, and C. S. McGill, chief me
chanic, decided that it would not be
necessary to close any more schools
unless the roads became a great
deal worse. Mr. Bulla found that
all principals are of the opinion
that the schools should be kept
open, and that the drivers are in
fine spirit and are making no com
plaints.

Revolution Over
Bad Condition Of
Secondary Roads
Chairman Waynick Speaks
Before Raleigh’s Kivvanis
Club Meeting On Friday
Admits Vital Matter
Chairman Claims There Is No
Solution Of Situation In
Sight At This Time
After many years'of neglect of
the state’s secondary roads, the
chairman of the state’s highway
department has, at last, become
interested in conditions, and after
appeals, complaints and the like
have come in from as many sources
as could do so over the roads it
was necessary to travel, he issues
a statement in the News and Ob- ,
server of Saturday. The account in
that newspaper was a writeup of
Chairman Waynick’s speech at the
Raleigh Kivvanis club on Friday.
He declared against the proposed
bond. issue but said, “almost a re
volution is arising over North
Carolina about the improvement of
its secondary roads and those who
live on dirt roads have a right to
expect that these should be im
proved.”
Commissioner Waynick said the
roadways of the state are vital to
the economic and social advance
ment of the people, and he did not
blame the people for questioning
the ability of those in charge to
handle the situation.
Yet, he pointed out some serious
problems to be considered. There
are 58,000 miles of roadway and
less than 15 per cent of this is of
all weather construction. The re
mainder is dirt roads, and of the
35.000 miles of dirt road about 30,
000 has never been given any kind
of treatment except the usual |
scraping and maintenance. About
5.000 miles of these roads have
been treated.
The state of North Carolina at
present is transporting 275,000
School children, Waynick said. This
is more than any other state in this
Union or any other nation is doing.
These children are carried 130,000
bus miles a day and most of this
is over 40,000 miles of dirt road.
The recent heavy rains have made
roads almost impassable and have
prevented the usual maintenance
practices.
“There is no solution of this
situation in sight now,” the speak
er Stated. “We spent $300,000,000
to get 15 per cent of our roads sur
faced and even they are not per
manent. There is no such thing as
permanence in road construction.
They were not built to stand the
weight of the heavy trucks now
using them nor gre the dirt roads
capable of sustaining the constant
| passage of the busses over them.”
Noted Minister
Author Of Book
Rev. J. A. Baldwin of Ansonviile,)
who is widely known in ministerial!
circles in western North Carolina,
was a visitor in Asheboro Wednes
day. Mr. Baldwin is the author of
a recent book, “The Bishop and His
Boss”, which is arousing- a great
deal of comment among those con
versant with religious affairs.
This book allows the reader, or
rather that part of the public which
is fortunate enough to have an op
portunity to read it, to listen to
matters which are not generally
open to the public. It is a series of
conversations in which bishops,
presiding elders, pastors, business
men, and other lay men and women
reveal some amazing situations
existing in the church today.
All characters are fictitious, ex
cept for internationally known
figures* but it is evident that Mr.
' Baldwin is drawing from actual
occurrences. The characters and
actions of several ministers are dis
I cussed frankly, but not in any *
i muckraking fashion, and the entire
volume is one that should be in
teresting to minister and congrega
tion alike.

Eamseur, Jan. 23.—One of the
most important business transar-.
tions made recently in the Ramseur
community is the changing hands
of the Brown-Luther Lumber Co.
to Southern Lumber, of Richmond,
Va.
The local company has operated
the business that was formerly
known as Fleta Lumber Co., sever
al years, but spent most of the
time cutting timber and chopping.
The Virginia company that has
purchased the business will ex
pand the business and no doubt
give employment to more people
and purchase greater quantities of
lumber and timber from the sur
rounding section.
H. C. Parks of Ramseur will
manage the business, it is general-1
]y expected. Mr. Parks has had sev-!
eral years experience in the lumb- J
er business, as well as having filled i
other responsible positions among |
them serving as cashier of the j

Entire Compaign Now
In Effect
Now Is The Time To

Prizes Are $600, $400, $150,
$60, And $50 Or 20 Per
Cent Cash Commission
This issue of The Courier carries
the first published list of the names
of those who have ben nominated
so far as contestants for the big
awards offered in the “Cash Offer”
campaign. There is still room for a
few more real hustlers and new
nominations will be welcomed.
There are a number of communities
in the territory covered by this
paper that are not as yet repre
sented and this fact- presents a
golden opportunity for some “live
I wire” in any of these communities
to get in on the ground floor, while
the race is just getting started, and
take a commanding place in the
list. However, it is not enough to
just nominate yourself. The no
mination is but the first step, the
starting point. Anyone content to
rest after they have been nominat
ed will not get far in this cam- ,
paign. Action, honest effort, and
that alone can get results. Votes
win prizes — subscriptions mean
votes. If your friends see that you
are doing YOUR part, they will
jump in and help you pile up : a. '
winning vote total; if, however,
theyr see that you are unapprecia
tive and are expecting your friends
to do it all, they’ will throw their
support elsewhere. It’s up to you,
candidates. Do YOUR PART, your
friends will do theirs. •
Biggest Extra Vote Offer
From the beginning of the cam
paign throughout the first period is
| known as the first and biggest
I extra vote offer. Here is the offer
| of bonus votes for this period. For
I each and every $30 club- of both
j old and new subscriptions turned
into campaign headquarters during
this period, 300,000 extra or free
votes will be given. Each dollar
over a $30.00 club will carry’ a
proportionate number of extra
votes. Here is what it means: The
regular vote as shown on the front
of the receipt books amounts to
5.000 votes; the extra votes under
this $30 club offer are at the rate of
20.000 extra votes on each one year
subscription. Think of it! Four
times as many free votes on each
one year subscription as regular
votes. Of course,, bigger subscrip
tion count toward making up a
club—in other words, a “club” is
$30 worth of subscriptions. They
may be new or old and for any
length of time from six months
to ten years. Only a little figuring
is necessary to see that the major
awards will more than likely to be
won v’ia the $30 “club” route. Think
it over! Be a club member. There
j will be a substantial drop in votes
after first period ends. This is done
; in fairness to those ambitious ones ,
| who hustle out first and do the
| work. Remember at no time during
■ the remainder of the campaign will
I votes count as much as under the
present offer.
Report Days
All candidates must report all
cash and subscriptions on hand
each Wednesday and Saturday dic
ing the campaign. The campaign
j manager will be in the office from
j 3 to f> o’clock p. m. on Wednesdays
! and from 3 to 8 p. m. on Saturdays
j to receive candidates reports. This
I is one of the first rules of the cam
l paign and must be adhered to
I strictly. This will facilitate getting
| the subscriptions listed and insure
I the subscribers getting their pap
