uation over in Forsyth county.

cum before returning. J. Will
may make a trade with the Regis
ter of Deeds while out. Bennett's

Referring to your remarks in
lust week's Reporter about the
fishing tribe of Danbury, numbers
of our*people desire to go on rec
ord as being against their cruel
sport. A party of tisherraen from
this place (who are providentially
in one way or another related to
the chief of the mountain fisher
men) set in at Danville, Va., on
the same night you cite as the
date of the Danbury big catch,
and waded right up Dan River,
destroying everything in sight
until they ran into the muddy
waters created by the upper crowd
referred to in your paper. Such
destruction of the much prized
fish and frog family should be
stopped at once. Perhaps Evan
gelist Bob Coleman might do lots
of good if he would locate at some
pjint near the fall hills and con
tinue preaching.

Answer To Letter From Pinnacle
Literary Society.
King Route 2, May 21.
' Mr. Editor :
Please allow us space in the Re
porter to answer the Pinnacle Lit
j erary Society.
Now, if the society wishes to
meet the Oak Grove Society in
joint discussion let them get their
challenge in a business like way,
as we conduct business on business
principles, having a constitution
and by-laws which govern our ac
tions. Therefore, if the said so
ciety wishes a discussion let it
name a subject and we will consid
er it in a business like manner.
We meet Sat., June 2, p. m. So
get iu your challenge by then and
we will let you hear from us im- 1
mediately.
Speaking of your "matchless
orator," we do no not believe that
Mr. Jones had anything to do with
that bragging, because we take Mr.
Jones to be a hightoned gentleman.
We, as the Oak Grove Literary
Society, are not afraid of the ora-1
tor, Mr. Jones, or any of Pinnacle
Literary Society members, and
if Mr. Jones wants to sing his
praises let him coitie ahead. We
have had him with us once and
have had the pleasure of basking
in the sunlight of his oratorical
powers, and we know very well
how much too large Webster's
trousers are for him. Therefore,
we would not fool our time or fud- j
die our brains with him alone.
But if you have a society bring it
with you in full blast. Give us
proper time and we will not only
meet the "steam engine of Pinna
cle" but the whole crew combined.
We have heard of steam engines
whose whistles wore much larger
than their boiler, and it may be
one of this kind that is so anxious
to get up a discussion with us.
Yes, the days of Webster and Clay
have long passed away.
We hope to hear from the so
ciety privately or publicly at once.
Respectfully,
J. C. TTLLOTSON, Pres.
M. I. Boyles, Sec.

The Largest Tobacco Planter.
Some one has asked us who was
the largest tobacco grower in the
State of North Carolina. We do
not know. Col. Cunningham has
been called the largest tobacco
planter in the South. He is not
the largest individual grower of
the weed, however. Mr. R. H.
Ricks, of Eastern Carolina, lias
been an extensive tobacco grower,
so has been J. J. Laughinghouse,
and others. In Western North
Carolina, Mr. J. M. Galloway, of
Madison, is a large planter, and so
is J. Spot Taylor, of Danbury. 1
We do not know who is entitled
to the honor of being the largest
tobacco grower in North Carolina.

Death Of Mr. Charlie Rhodes.
Stella, Va., May 21.—Mr. Char
lie Rhodes, a highly respected
young man, died at his home near
Campbell, N. C., May 8. Charlie
was taken away from us while just
in the bloom of youth to try the
reality of another world. He was
just 18. While it grieves his dear
father and mother, we must be
submissive to the will of the
Heavenly Father, for the Lord
giveth and the Lord taketh away.
Charlie was an obedient son, hard
working and honest, and his death
no doubt casts a gloom over a
large circle of friends.
The sorrowing family have the
sincere sympathy of the entire
community.

PINNACLE.
Pinnacle, May 23.
The people 6ay that the whoop

think so. I think base ball is all
the go. The boys have challenged
every team that they can hear any
talk of, but can't get any team to
j play. I wonder what has become
of Hill Top. I guess they have
crawled in n hole and pulled the
hole in after them. Please tell
them that they will have to play
Pinnacle before they have the go.
Messrs. Ernest Moser, Will
Moser, Joe Spainhower, and

Negroes Pass Counterfeit Money.
Winston, May 2ii. —It became
known today that three negro mon
passed o(T §4O or more counterfeit
money in the northern part of the
city Saturday night. They visited
the beef market of George Hester,
at the terminus of North Liberty
street, and purchased 50 cents
worth of meat, giving Mr. Apple,
the clerk, a $lO bill, which proved
to be no good. From the market
the counterfeiters went to the
store of S. S. Spencer, colored, in
, Fair view, where they succeeded in
passing three spurious §lO bills.
One bought a cake of soap and a
bottle of soda while another
invested in several cigars. The j
third man purchased a pair of sus
penders and a few other things.
Each man was given good money
in change. Spencer says that ho
I discovered Sunday that he had
been caught. The figures of the
bill had become dim, being hardly i
discernible. "
