Anniston Star June 29, 1937
The Randolph Press, established at Wedowee in 1901, has been in almost 
continuous operation as a weekly newspaper. Publication has at times been 
discontinued for short periods, but never for any great length of time. It was 
founded as "The Star", changing the name to "The Press" in 1926, when it went 
into the hands of J. H. Kerr until he became postmaster, Mr. Kerr was editor and 
publisher. He turned the work over to a son, R.H. Kerr, when he took charge of 
the postmaster's job. Present circulation of the Friday publication is 1,000.

LaFayette Sun, Apr 21, 1926:
The first issue of the Randolph Press, published at Wedowee, Ala., reached our 
office this week. The former paper, the Randolph Star, was recently sold to the 
Roanoke Leader leaving Wedowee without a newspaper until the announcement this 
week of the Press. Mr. Burson, of Wedowee, will have active management of the 
paper and will also represent the Bowden Press, of Bowden, Ga.
