Endorsing his administra tion, they specified that they favor *" ed his leadership for the highway commission whether it continues to operate as at present or is re organized according to the pro posal now before the assembly. A copy of the resolution was sent to Governor Hoey.

Also spread on the minutes was a notice served in person by L. T. Hammond that Ben Brown and E. M. Barber would hold the board responsible for the payment of $7 owed each of them in wages for work on the agriculture building. Brown and Barber were laborers on this job and assert that John Fer ree, the contractor for the plaster ing, the building, failed to pay them all that was due them. The commissioners devoted a large part of the day to drawing the jurors for the term of criminal * court which will begin March 29. It was ordered that L. T. Ham mond advance the fee for serving civil summons in other counties, the same to be taxed in the line of costs in each case. The commissioners also ordered that $50 be applied to the county welfare department from the em ergency appropriation. The tax report for February was presented by Sheriff C. E. Ring.

While there have been several votes from Ashe boro people, the majority of those coming into the office have come from rural sections of the county.' Many of the votes have been aocompanied by letters evincing interest in the ques tion. An unusually large num ber of votes have come from the Staley and Bennett sections, which every hook and corner of Randolph has been represented.

Meeting at Governor Herbert H. Lehman’s home in New York, the executives of Minnesota, Illinois, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, New York and Rhode Island, dispatched a telegram to Mr. Roosevelt say ing: '“The cost of relief to employ ables cannot be borne by local units of government and we pro test against the imposition of this burden onto the states and local units of government.” The conference, arranged by Governor Lehman, was an infor mal discussion of all phases of re lief problems, which were found to be similar in the states represent ed. The governors were under stood to be unanimous in the belief that the administration’s plan to cut down the WPA rolls would throw a heavy strain on the funds of municipal as well as state gov ernments. With “scores of thousands” of employables still on home relief rolls, as one spokesman put it, the state and local relief agencies would be hard pressed to take care of persons severed from the WPA rolls who were unable to find jobs (Please turn to Page S) sive as have the people living on routes out from Asheboro. The final tabulation stands at 147 for the President’s planned changes and 139 against the plan. Several votes on both sides have come in since the poll closed.

This vote is almost two to one against the proposed plan as ex pressed by the people who parti cipated voluntarily in the NEA poll. 4 “""T During Storm Sat Trinity Colored Woman Suc cumbs During 7 Mile Walk From High Point Found Monday Was Within Few Hundred Yards Of Shelter When Strength Failed Mary Heame, 48, well known colored woman of Trinity, was found dead of cold and exposure about noon Monday only a few hundred yards from a house which she had evidently been struggling to reach in the snowstorm Satur day night. She had walked into High Point to do some shopping and was re turning on her 8 mile walk when she succumbed. She had come about 7 miles through the snow and still had a half a mile or so to go to reach home when she felt herself weakening and left the rail road tracks, which she had been following, to head for the nearby friend’s .home which she was destined never to reach. Her body was found Monday by railroad workers, and an ex amination by the Davidson county coroner fixed the time of death at approximately midnight Saturday and the cause as exposure. Her ab sence had not disturbed any of her friends as it was not unusual for her to accept work away from home for a day or two without notifying anyone. Tightly clutched in her hand when she was found was a hand kerchief in which was 23 cents, all that remained of $10 with which she set out to do her shopping. ^ She is survived by one son, Eddie, aged 16. Her death was a shock to residents of Trinity as she was a familiar figure in the community.

Consequently the scene of operations, which had shifted from Randolph county to High Poidtt and from High Point to Greensboro as slot machine owners sought to evade confiscation of their ma chines, is now back home. In arriving at his decision Judge Armstrong held that the devices were definitely gambling devices such as were forbidden by statute and therefore illegal. The plaintiff was ordered to pay Kejfjml j Vj'A ‘ First Real Snow Of Winter Falls On Saturday Eve Most Estimates Set Depth At Eight Inches In And Around Asheboro Ideal For Snowballs A Very Wet Snow With Pre cipitation Amounting To .57 Of An Inch The snow which delighted : the eyes of every youngster and most of the adults of Randolph county Saturday night has already suffer ed from three clear, sunny days, but enough remains to remind everyone that mild as the winter has been, it didn’t pass without one real snowfall. Estimates as to the depth of the fall have been just about as vary ing as the. number of flakes. Con servatives have been holding the depth down to 6 or even 4 inches, while reported measurements have run as high as 11V4 inches.
