Sheriff Petree will confer a
kindness on the good people of
Danbury for which they will feel
grateful, by appointing a courag
eous Deputy Sheriff at Danbury
at once, with instructions to do his
whole duty.
Though we have magistrates
and constables galore, liquor is be
ing sold in the community daily
in open ami reckless violation of
the law. and all the ills and dis
comforts usually attendant upon
such a state of affairs are present.
At times on the streets especially
on Sundays—crowds of drunken
•Ml UllllUUJ 1 "i "i mint it |
negroes ami low whites congregate,
blocking up the sidewalks, indulg
ing in loud ami boisterous laugh-,
ter, oaths and obscene language,
so that a lady may not venture out
without imminent danger of an
insult. Often far into the night
maybe heard the ribald revelries,
disturbing the citizens and render
ing them uneasy for their proper
ty, Such a condition should not
be tolerated in any community
having any kind of respect for
common decency ami morality.
Formerly, with Sheriff Joyce a
resident, security was felt, for the
ruffians feared hi in. Now the
Sheriff absent, with Christmas
approaching— that "gay' season
when the hoodlums feel it their
religious duty to get drunk ami
raise Cain with our natives re
inforced by a lot of aliens, ami all
fall of the Walnut Cove white
lightning that is getting to be
more plentiful than water —res-
pectable people will feel securer
by having a good officer around
with plenty of nerve, and thus
save our citizens the disagreeable
iiacessity of violence.
The intelligence coining from 1
the markets of a drop in the price '
of tobacco amounting to an aver
age of $2.00 per hundred, is dis
couraging news, but disappoints
only those who believe in their
hearts that the American Tobacco
Company is the best friend the j
farmer ever had. Those who j
think that the Trust, having in its ,
hands the supreme power of un- j
limited money and backed by ihe
tacit approval of a great majority ]
of the suffragists of the -
country, will have com- j
passion on the farmer at its I
mercy and pay him a good price
for his product, do not understand j
the secret springs that move in a ;
soulless corporation. If the A. T.
Co. is the farmer's friend, then
may the lamb claim a friend in the
wolf that tears it limb from limb.
Several more R. F. D. routes
could be established with bases at
Danbury. if the right kind of
energy and shrewdness were
brought to bear. These routes
are of great benefit to the people,
besides affording employment nt
good wages to the carriers. The
government has appropriated the
money to carry them on, and why
shouldn't we take advantage of j
them while there's a chance.
There are a few places on the
Danbury-Walnut'Cove road which
should be looked after by the
supervisors and overseers at once,
before the weather gets worse, or
else travel will have to be suspend
ed until spring, unless the services
of Jake Hill's airship can be re
tained for the winter.
BE QUICK.
Not a minute should be lost
when a child shows symptoms of
eroup. Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy given as soon as the child be
comes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears, will pre
vent the attack. It never fails,
and is pleasant and safe to take.
For sale by all druggists and deal
ers.
