KING ROUTE 2.
King Route 2, June 10.
We see in the last issue of the
Reporter a mistake as to the date
of the next public debate. It is
on Saturday before the first Sun
day in July beginning at 1 o'clock
p. m. instead of the first Saturday,
and on the night following Mr.
James Hutchius, of King, will
entertain the people with a grand
and excellent show and also two
balloon ascensions. Come boys and
bring your best girl, admission
only ten oents. If you cannot be
present for the debating pro
gramme be sure and don't miss
the show and balloons. All over
$3 will be paid ovet for the benefit
of the Oak Grove Sunday School.
Refreshments by Smith, Anderson
& Co.
Mr. and Mrs. J J. Gentry will
return to the home of R. G. Gent
ry the 11th, where they will be
greatly welcomed by all. Mr. J.
J. Gentry is one of Stokes' most
prosperous business men, and
if you will notice at least one half
of Forsyth's leading business men
are Stokes county boys.
We notice in last issue of the
Reporter that Dog Killer has a
piece on the soul of the negro.
And in this issue if you will notice
you will see that Timothy will try
to show that a negro is a beast.
We are fearful if they keep tryiug
to superintend God's business as
they have for the last twelve
months, the hour will come when
they will wish that they had been
a beast, ground-hog. humble dog or
some other speechless animal.
Five rattlers have been killed
right recently, and if it had not
been so busy a time the farmers
might have killed more while pass
ing through.
The people are busy with their
wheat and the comiug week will
be the main time for the harvest
ing of the golden grain.
Tobacco is looking well as well
the grass. Rain is plentiful and
the lightning bug is carrying its
bright over the tassels of the
oorn.
We see Pinnacle didn't come to
play ball Saturday. I guess their
whiskey gave out while playing
Slate Saturday, June 2nd. The
reason Slate couldn't do any bet
ter it is often said that a fly can
not go into a whiskey barrel.
Rural Hall, an intelligent base
ball crowd, will be with us Satur
day, June 16.
After Slate's and Piuuacle's
ball game Saturday Slate missed
two balls. If anyone finds them
you are welcome to them as they
are only made of cotton.
ROUGH AND READY.
KING.
King, June 11.
Mr. Editor:
Will you please allow me space
in your paper to say a few words
in regard to base ball and pitch
ing horse shoes.
I think pitching horse shoes is
all the go at this place. I walked
out to the store the other day and,
to my surprise, I seen fathers en
gaged in this play and members
of the church. Oh! how sad I felt
when I saw this to think we could
not tell them from the world. Oh!
how sad to think of it, church
members. I heard they had made
up SB.OO to buy a base ball outfit.
If they would only take the Bible
and call them together aud read
the word of God how much better
would it look than to get together
to play ball and serve the evil one.
If you go to them for money for
the preacher or the church some
will give a little and some will
not give anything. How sad for
fathers to raise their children up
that way. Please turn your baße
ball to a prayer meeting. Men
and brothers hear me, we have to
jjive an account how we serve God
in this world. God forbid I should
be a stumbling block in any body's
fIBhWP ROSEBUD.
"J." TELLS WHY HE
HASN'T PAID THAT
FIVE DOLLARS.
Walnut Cove, June 11.
Mr. Editor :
Byway of an explanation, I
would like to a9k for a little Bpace
in the Reporter for a reply to Mr.
"Dog-Killer's" letter in the Re
porter of June 7th, in which he
states that he has called on UB for
the $5.00 promised him if he would
show where the Saviour ever con
demned the manufacture of
whiskey, and that we had refused
to sond it. The proume was made
as well as we can remember in
June, 1904, and we suppose that
most of the readers of the Repor
ter remember how the proposition
was made and how it was accept
ed, but for fear they do not we
would like to make an explanation
of both sides as we see it in as few
words as possible. During the
years li>o3-4 quite a lot of contro
versy was carried on in the Re
porter in regard to the whiskey
question; most of which was
aimed at Walnut Cove, and in
some of Mr. "Dog-Killer's" letters
wo thought he irtade some very
hard and uncalled for remarks
about the people of Walnut Cove,
which we replied to. Mr. "Dog-
Killer" then declared that we
were defending the liquor ques
tion, where on the other hand we
uever for once offered even oue
paragraph in its behalf, but we
did make him this proposition:
"If you will show us where the
Savior ever condemned the mnnu
fncture of whiskey we will send
you through the Reporter $5.00."
Mr. ''Dog-Killer" accepted the
proposition and asked all the
readers of the Reporter to serve
as jurors in the case.
Now as most of the readers of
tho Reporter remember Mr. "Dog-
Killer" was before you off and on
for ten months with lengihy argu
ments, and in the Reporter of
May 18th, 1905, he asked for a
verdict, and insisted that a list of
names be sent the Reporter so
that ho would know that he had
won or had been successful in his
undertaking, and 110 said:
"I shall not ask you to decide
the case to suit me unless you
think justice and truth demand it;
but unless you speak out it will
never be known that you are op
posed to it, but your silence and
influence will count in favor of
the whiskey men."
Or as much as to say I'll never
know whether I have won the $5.00
or not unless you send in your
names.
Now, Mr. Editor, it strikes us
that Mr. "Dog-Killer" thinks the
jury has been out long enough,
and we think so too, because we
have never heard of a jury being
out over twelve months, and it has
now been most thirteen months
since Mr. "Dog-Killer" finished
his argument and asked for a
verdict, and as yet we have never
seen a list of names published,
and more, we have neyer seen
where any one has declared that
Mr. "Dog-Killer" proved his point
and should have the so.oo, but
now Mr. "Dog-Killer" takes the
case in his own hands and comes
out and says as no one has proven
that he failed, but many said
that he proved the point
and he thought so himself, why
he would call on us to make good
our promise and send the $5. Mr.
"Dog-Killer" must have thought
that not hearing anything from
the jury that if he would call on
us for the $5.00 in the form of a
personal letter that he would
catch us napping and we would
just send on the money rather
than hear any more aboat it.
Then be could come out in an
article in the Reporter showing
that we were convinced from the
fact we had paid the money thereby
gaining some notoriety for himself
that he fears he has lost by not
hearing from the jury. But no;
as Mr. Dog-Killer left the matter
to the jtjTf and said that he wonld
not ask them to decide the case to
suit him unless they thought
tice and truth demanded it, why
we thought best to do as we have
done, wait on the jury.
Now it may be possible that Mr.
Dog-Killer did prove tho point,
and that quite a number of the
renders expressed themselves
through the Reporter to thatoifeot
for we must say that there has
Jaeen a number of copies of the
Reporter since May 18th, lUOS,
that we did not get to see very
closely, consequently if there has
been a list of names published
why we'have failod to see it. Mr.
"Dog-Killer" asked all the readers
to serve as jurors in this oase, but
wo will not ask him for a report
on all of them, but if he will ehow
us where only thirty readers
(which is a very small number to
what he asked to serve) expressed
themselves through the Reporter
between May 18th, 1905 and June
Ist, l'.KXi, that he did prove the
point and should have the $5.00,
why we wish to say that the
money is still in the bank and
subject to check, and that he shall
have no further trouble in getting
it.
With best wishes for the Re
porter and its renders, we are,
Very respectfully,
J.

An AppeaTTo Farmers To Join the
Karmers' Protective Association.
Francisco, June 9.
Mr Editor :
I feel n desire to speak through
tho columns of your valuable paper
to the farmers of Stokes and as
far as the tobacco bolt reaches. I
want to appeal to them to organize
in the Farmers' Protective Asso
ciation just as soon ns possible and
help us to stand up for justice and
better prices for our tobacco. Wo
will have to abandon making the
weed unless we can sell it at an
advance to compete with prices on
other things that are advancing
all the time.
Now, tho people around Fran
cisco are in earnest. Wd closed
the meetiug this evening with 174
members, and still they come.
It is a perfect shame to see the
condition of the poor renter. His
wife and children doprived from
attending church and Sabbath
school for the want of decent clo
thing, and there is a great cry be
cause the children can't attend the
public schools. How can they at
tend unless they have sufficient
clothing and provisions ? Some
one is responsible for this crime.
The Lord intended for the gospel
to be preached to the poor as well
as the rich, and if they receive no
help in no way it is a helpless
case. For the special benefit of
the poor I make this appeal. Will
you stand by us and help us to
live. Our loved boys have left
home to hunt for a place where
they can make a living. A great
many more aro leaving for the
towns and a few old grey haired
men and women and children left
to raise tobacco at 7 cents a pound.
Now, we don't wish to injure
auy one. We ouly hnmbly beg
for a living and clothing for our
labor. Now we ask every man to
come to our aid and stand up for
justice. I would love to see a let
ter from every farmer's association
in the county and hear of every
one joining the association.
