JONATHAN WORTH,
SON OF DR. DAVID WORTH AND WIFE EUNICE, WHOSE MAIDEN NAME WAS GARDNER.
Born in Guilford County, N. C., November 18, 1802. He married Martitia Daniel, of Caswell County, in the year 1824, and in the same year settled in Asheboro, N. C. At this place he practiced law successfully for thirty-eight years. During this time he represented his County in many posi- tions of trust and honor. He was elected State Treasurer in 1862 and re-elected to the same office in 1864. In the fol- lowing year he was elected Governor of the State, and in 1866 was re-elected to this high office by a largely increased majority.
North Carolina has had no man in the gubernatorial chair who displayed more sterling integrity, sounder practical sense, more accurate judgment, or more conspicuous firm- ness than Governor Worth. He died in Raleigh September 5, 1869, and is buried in Oakwood Cemetery. On the monu- ment is engraved this brief but expressive inscription :
LEGISLATOR. CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. GOVERNOR OF HIS NATIVE STATE. FAITHFUL IN ALL.

--
DR. JOHN MILTON WORTH, ASHEBORO N. C.,
SON OF DR. DAVID WORTH AND WIFE EUNICE, WHOSE MAIDEN NAME WAS GARDNER,
Was born June 2S, 1S11, in Guilford County, near Centre Church. Graduated at the Louisville (Kv.) College of Med- icine. In 1834 he was married to Miss Sarah Dicks, daugh- ter of Peter Dicks, and settled at New Salem, in Randolph County, where he practiced medicine. He was afterwards a citizen of Montgomery County, and was engaged in the practice of medicine, also mining and merchandising.
From 1852 to 1856 Dr. Worth was Senator from Mont- gomery County. About 1856 he settled in Asheboro as a merchant and a man of general enterprise. From 1870 to 1875 he was Senator from Randolph County. From Novem- ber 22, 1876, to January 21, 1885, he was State Treasurer. In 1877 and 1878 we find him representing Randolph in the House. Dr. Worth did more, perhaps, than any other one man to get the State debt consolidated, thus forever securing his fame as a financier.
He is a man about eighty-three years old, and is still full of energy, enterprise and public spirit.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
It has been a real "labor of love" for me to compile this Business Directory of my native county-the home of my childhood and youth; hence many little historical shetches appear in the book. "Reminiscences of Randolph County," by my life-long friend, J. Addison Blair, aided me very greatly. Mr. Blair calls up-then beautifies and sweetens the old-time memories.
The county has not only held her own, but has gone for- ward handsomely during the thirty eight years of my absence. Randolph now feels the quickening pulse of 76.45 miles of railroads, as follows:
North Carolina Railroad .70 mile.
Cape Fear and Yakin Valley Railroad 30.10 miles. High Point, Randleman, Asheboro and South- ern Railroad 26,65
Factory Branch (C. F. & Y. V.) Railroad 19.00
Total 76.45
The county has 720 square miles of territory. She now has fourteen cotton factories, and íthese not only beautify and enrich, but they render musical the very air of the county.
This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful sections of the State, and a grind future is in store for the land of our birth if we still remain true to her destiny.
Randolph has furnished the State two State Treasurers and one Governor.
I here return my warmest thanks to many prominent citi- zens who have aided me in compiling this book. At some future time I hope to publish a revised edition that shall be larger and better in every way.

ASHEBORO (C. H.),
Seventy-two miles west of Raleigh, is the county seat of RANDOLPH COUNTY, and was built on land purchased from Jesse Henly in 1793. Mr. Henly gave two acres of land for public buildings, and the first court was held here June 12, 1793, in a small wooden house. The present handsome brick structure was erected in 1835, under the supervision of Jona- than Worth, afterwards Governor of North Carolina. In July, 1889, the High Point, Randleman, Asheboro and South- ern Railroad was completed to this place, since which time the population has increased rapidly, and is now estimated at 1,500. Asheboro was named in compliment to Samuel Ashe, a distinguished soldier and statesman of the American Revolution, and who became Governor of the State in 1795. The courts of the county were first held at Abram Reece's house (1779), about half way between Brown's Cross Roads (old Johnsonville Court 'House) and Randleman Factory. Courts were held afterwards (1786) at Johnsonville, until June 12, 1793, when the first court was held at Asheboro.
