HURRAH hOR OLD YADKIN.
The Reporter learns with a
great deal of pleasure that at the
next meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners, Yadkin
township will set the paco for
progress in Stokes county by ask
ing the commissioners to grant an
election on the question of work
ing the public roads of \ adkin by
taxation. We believe there is a
law allowing a township the right
to vote a tax on itself for roads
irrespective of its sister townships,
and the commissioners are em
powered to call such an election
without the authority of the
legislature, or rather, the legisla
ture has alredy conferred this
rijht upon the township.
Hurrah for old Yadkin. Rich
in good lands, hospitable citizens,
up-to-date ideas and pretty girls
May the election carry with an
overwhelming majority, and t :ie
other townships quickly catching
the spirit, old Stokes will walk to
the front where she right ly belongs.
The old system of working the
roads by free labor is impracti
cable, worthless and absurd. Ihe
world is marching on. We can
not afford to lag behind. The
greatest tax we are paying today
is the mud tax. It is bearing
harder on us than all our assess
ments for bridges, court house,
jail, and schools. The man who
puts himself up against better
Toads is unpatriotic and unworthy
of being esteemed a citizen of this
flligtened and progressive age.
WALNUT COVE.
Our Walnut Cove correspon
dent told last week of several new
enterprises to be established at
that place when the weather gets
better, among the number a chair
factory. We have often wondered
•why Walnut Cove's business men
hive not organized a furniture
factory. Furniture manufacture
is becoming to be one of the most
prominent industries of theSouth.
Walnut Cove has excellent ad
vantages for this business. The
very best of railroad facilities,
within easy reach of the raw ma
terial, labor as reasonably-priced
as anywhere. A furniture factory
ii a great stimulus to the trade of
a town. Walnut Cove has lots of
stores, and her merchants would
do well to cast about them for
other customers bedides the farm
ers, who have money only at
oartain flush seasons of the year
Walnut has the uei ve and
the money to "do things," besides
every natural advantage, and the
wonder is that she do not get
down to business.
PINNACLE AFTER THE M. P.
COLLEGE.
The Reporter hopes that the
people of Pinnacle will be success
ful in their efforts to get the new
college to be established by the
Methodist Protestants. No sec
tion of the State is more deserving
of the location of the school. Sit
u ited in a high and dry locality,
Well drained, with the best water
«nd the purest air, in view of
magnificent scenery, and in a
tuoral atmosphere not surpassed
by any community, Pinnacle is an
ideal point for a great seat of
{earning. Let her citizens not
desist in their fight uritil they J
shall have the assurance of success, j
The location of the Methodist i
Protestant college will mean great
things for Pinnacle, and will be
a distinguished honor to Stokes
oounty and this section of the
State.
SIN IN THE CAMP.
Why the Church Is Not Fulfilling Its
Mission—Strong Sermon By Rev.
Mr. Albright.
Rev. W. T. Albright delivered a
strong Bormou at the M. E. church ;
Sunday night on the subjeot of i
spiritual inactivity or stagnation |
in the church. His meaning was \
in its broadest sense, as this con-1
dition, it was alleged, exists to an
alarming extent in all the
churches.
Mr. Albright read the eighth
chapter of Second Corinthians.
He took for his text the 17tb verse:
"Wherefore come out from among
them, and be ye separate, saith the
Lord, and touch not the unclean
thing; and 1 will receive you."
The church is not doing its
duty in reaching out after the
souls of men, and the cause was
attributed to sin in the camp.
The preacher strikingly illustrat
ed the situation by recounting the
Biblical instance of Achan, a cap
tain of Joshua's army, who on be
ing sent against Ai with 3,000
soldiers, met with crushing defeat.
The disaster was a judgment of
trod sent on the Israelites because
of Achan's sin in appropriating the
"goodly Babylonish garment," etc
In like manner the church is
stagnant and its efforts to convert
the world for Christ are ineffectual
because of sin in the camp. No
church can be spiritually stronger
than its average individual mem
bership.
The preacher closed with an
earnest and eloquent plea to the
members to do their duty.

KING ROUTE 2.
King Route 2, Jan. 29.—1 see
iu the Reporter of Jan. 25, n let
ter from "Capella Sport" asking
me to tell him how to make our
schools better. Now, just with a
few lines I want to tell him our
experience with schools. In tin)
first place we always let our teach
ers teach the schools and we do
the sending of the children. If
they get in a racket we let them
get out the best they can. We
never go to the teacher with any
complaint over trifles especially
as trifling a thing as a little court
ing spree. If our children get a
little warm we cool them down
with a little shawney tea and send
them back to school you see. I
would like to ask "Mr. Sport" one
question: Who'e at the helm in our
country —the children or the pa
rents. We a3 parents should say go
and see thein move right now and
have them to come _back at the
right time. If the teacher hap
pen* to fall off of a log don't roll
i another one on them, but get them
j up and see that they are not hurt.
If you will follow this rule I think
you will have better schools iu
old Sftkes. When I wrote last we
had no school nor any sign of any
but next day about 5 o'clock a
young man Mr. R. E. Faw, from
Ashe County, arrived in the neigh
borhood for the put pose of teach
ing our school. Next morning
the school opened with 30 stu
dents, The number is now doubled
and the school is progressing nice
ly under perfect (lecipliue.
We hold up the teacher's hands
and he holds up the school.
With best wishes to the Re
porter, I .will close
