RANDOLPH - A total of 680 votes were cast in the postmaster election vote with A. B. Helms receiving two-thirds or 453 votes. John Gilispie was second with 105.
The large vote indicates the poll was not far from total voting strength of those within the post office jurisdiction. Many persons from the farthest parts of the five rural routes were in town to vote.

RANDOLPH -City Electrician Kirk takes this means of notifying users of electricity on the Eastside and the power circuit in the business district that within three weeks he expects to cut the current over to the new 110 alternating. This work will be done first on the Eastside where the poles were changed to the alleys and wires are now all strung. No definite date can be set, but when the work is started it will go pretty fast, taking about four days to complete the cut-over.
The switch-board has been inspected

into the
and some parts, now missing are yet to be supplied; but the work of setting up was begun this week and it is expected all will be ready within the three weeks. The notification is thus made so that electricity users may supply themselves with 110 volt lamps and other necessary equipment to replace those now in use. Any attempt to use old equipment on the new current will result in its ruin. The power circuit will require 220 volt 3 phase, 60 cycle motors, the standard for alternating current. The motors now used in Randolph will be useless with the new voltage.

RANDOLPH - Soft coal prices are on the decline, a statement tonight from the national coal association said. They have already dropped 25 per cent in several fields, and production is now running at more than 12,000,000 tons a week, it said, adding that “the immediate soft coal wants of the nation” have been met and a surplus for storage against winter is being accumulated. With cars available and a high production assured, “prices in the market will continue to drop,” the statement predicted.
