WOULD THE ELECTRIC LINE
BENEFIT THE MODERATE
FARMER ?
Last week the Reporter pointed
to a few well known advantages
the proposed electric line would
prove to the poor man. Now we
want to consider the moderate
farmer who owns his home, or the
renter who is in good circum
stances, and the benefits that
would result to him if we had the
electric railroad.
The first advantage would be in
affording him other ways of mak
ing money besides tobacco —one
of which would be truck farming.
The electric line would bring
Mayodan, Stoneville, Spray, Roan
oke, Martinsville, Madison, Wins
ston-Salem and other towns within
easy reach, so that our citizens
could help feed the thousands of
citizens of those towns at good
cash prices. A great industry
wouid be started in the raising
and shipping of cabbage, onions,
lettuce, strawberries, tomatoes,
potatoes, chickens, eggs, and all
the other products of the farm.
The niilroad would give special
reduced express rates to those who
wished to engage in this business.
Then, as fire wood in the towns is
getting scarce, the shipment of
this fuel would be a considerable
industry, bringing easily from
$3.00 to $4.50 per cord. Rock is
valuable to the railroads and other
building companies, and the thou
sands of tons of nice building
stone now lying useless on many
of our farms, could be sold for
cash.
Another prolific source of
revenue to this class of our people
would be the selling of their tim
ber direct to the manufacturing
plants. Timber is now bringing
fancy prices, by reason of its in
creasing scarcity, and our farmers
v could get out their timber them
selves, haul it to the railroad and
ship it, getting good pay for their
time and labor, saving the middle
man's profit for themselves. Many
a farmer has sufficient timber on
his farm to spare that, if he lived
nearer a railroad, would furnish
him enough money to educate his
children. Many an old pine or
oak, now standing a prey to fire,
wind, lightning and the ever-eat
ing worms, would pay its owner's
railroad tax for ten years.
There are fine iron, mica and
other mines aiong the territory of
the proposed route that would j
yield handsome returns if worked |
by the owners, who are compelled
to let them lie useless because of
lack of means of conveying the
ores to the markets. There is
enough iron ore in the Buck
Island hills, and enough mica in
Snow Creek township, to furnish
hauling for long freight trains a
hundred years to come, and to
make their owners immensely
rich.
There are scores of other good
reasons why the citizen of moder
ate circumstances should desire
and work for an electric railroad.
Among these are several that we
mentioned in the case of the poor
man last week, such as the saving
in getting his supplies a great
deal cheaper, the saving in market
ing his tobaoco, etc. He would
\ peed fewer expensive mules and
horses, and fewer wagons and
other vehicles.
The great influx of new indus
tries would flush all the avenues
of business and the channels of
trade with new life. Everything
our farms produce wpuld be in
lively demand and farms in
proximity to the line would in
crease in value 50 to 500 per cent.
More people would come and live
with us, furniture factories and
lumber plants would carve useful
things from our splendid forests
now rapidly going to their dotage;
our mines would yield their untold
wealth. Money would be more
plentiful, times would be better,
we would have more churches and
more schools, more citizens and
more property. Towns and settle
ments like Sandy Ridge, Lawson
ville, etc., would rapidly increase
in population. Piedmont Springs
would be one of the leading water
ing places of the South, as the j
Dukes would spend money to J
make it a great resort.
The situation of the moderate j
farmer would certainly, it seems |
to us, be a desirable one in the
event of the coining of the electric
railroad. The increase of our
population would be in the ratio J
of his growing prosperity, for he j
is the keystone to the whole super
structure —the master of the situa- j
tion.
GOVRRNOR GLENN'S MESSAGE
TO THE PEOPLE OF STOKES
COUNTY.
The Reporter is happy today in
presenting from the Governor of
the great State of North Carolina
a message of love and encourage
ment to the people of Stokes
county.
It is strikingly apropos that in
this glad season, when the blos
soms are bursting in the woods—
when the birds are singing and
the bees awakening, and all things
speak of the "new life - ' —a token of
the great that binds us all
together, the Event of which next
Sunday is the anniversary—that
our honored and esteemed Gov
ernor should take time from his!
cares and responsibilities of state,
to send these glad words of hope'
and inspiration, and point us to
the great future that is before us.
Gov. Glenn was long a resident j
among us. Here at Danbury first j
budded that masterly genius that 1
has swayed an hundred vast
audiences, and which has placed
him in the highest position within
the gift of the commonwealth.'
Here were his struggles, here
his first successes and fail
ures. And doubtless many
times amid the discharge of
the momentous duties now incum- i
bent upon him, his mind reverts!
with pleasure to his first case and
his initiative experiences at Dan
bury. And among us there are
in return many pleasant remem
brances of him and his family.
Let us accept this glad message
in the spirit in which it is sent,
and press onward a united people
to the great destiny which is ours.
Let us drop all personal grievances
and differences, and be truly "kind- j
hearted, generous and faithful."
And no power nor obstacle shall
stand before our ownwnrd sweep.
AN ERROR CORRECTED.
In the communication entitled
"Ipsincerity, and Other Sins" from
the pen of Dog-Killer, published
in the Reporter of March 2it, oc
curred a palpable and ridiculous
error, for which our able corres
pondent and the readers generally
are due an apology. In the table
prepared by Dr. Hudson and
quoted by our correspondent to
show the difference between the
objective and the subjective
minds, the printer blunderingly
made the word "limited" read
"lunitaleous."

Whether they can atTord it or not, they are paying it ev

at CREDIT PRICES. Is it any wonder that they are
poor V The BANK OF STOKES COUNTY is the far
men' friend. It loans them money on approved seourity
enabling them to make their crops at a great saving by
having the ready money, also avoiding the disagreeable
necessity of having to visit the same storekeeper regu
larly for their supplies. The man with cold cash in Tiis
pocket trades where he please, and gets rook bottom
