MORE MONEY AT HOME ON THE FARM.
We were told the other day something interesting about Stokes
county farming—of a young man who has made a success in the cul
tivation of the soil, and very poor soil at that.
Here are the facts : Four or five years ago Mr. E. A. Rothrock, of
Walnut Cove Route 3, decided to make a living for himself. All arouud
him he saw men who had spent their lives farming, and the years that
had passed over them left no token of fortune's good will. Their backs
were bent and their pockets empty. Mr. Rothrock thought, like many
boys think these days, that there was no living to be made on the
farm, and that the thing to do was to go to the city aud get work
where money is plentiful and labor is high. Then he figured thai
these city people must be supported by tho farmers, and why shouldn't
this work of supporting them b8 profitable.
A careful thinking over the situation, and then action. He bought
a farm, one of the poorest farms in Sauratown township—and bought
it on credit, too. Five years later we find him with his farm paid for,
and money loaned out at interest. His lands not worn out, as when
he bought them, but in a fine state of productiveness, himself owing
no man, and his family contented and happy.
Here is a lesson for our young men who are leaving the farms—here
a stern rebuke to that unrest which drives you to town to be a boss
man's slave.
The secret of Mr. Rothrock's success is not shrouded in mystery.
He had no magic wand with which he made barren fields yield pure
gold to the touch. He only went to work with determination, thrift
and careful judgment. He has read the articles of scientific farmers,
and has taken their advice—has conducted his farm on scientific prin
ciples—to use a pertinent phrase, he has "mixed brains with the
soil."
Mr. Rothrock loves farming for its own sake. Ho takes pride in
making his lauds produce more richly year by year ;he is a tobacco
planter and a wheat sower . he raises rye, corn, oats and grass ; po
tatoes, chickens, cattle and sorghum. He • makes everything count,
and is today independent of the trusts and combines, for who is so
independent as the successful farmer who can produce nearly every
thing at home that his family consumes.
Suppose that every farmer of Stokes county were in the same con
dition that Mr. Rothrock is in today—can anyone doubt that* Stokes
would be world-famed as the mpst prosperous section on the face of
the globe ¥ Every mortgage lifted and burned, every debt paid—a
money-lending people, contented,! free and happy ?
Take this to your heart young i#an. It may mean th* making of
you.

HON. S. P. GRAVES.
The Reporter hopes that the people of this district will re-elect
Hon. S. P. Graves to the office which he has held four years with
marked ability, with becoming dignity and with honor to the State.
Mr. Graves is very popular with our people, and is deservedly so,
because he tills his position with fairness and impartiality to all. It
his not been charged even by his political enemies fhat he has ever
a'lowed bias or partizan zeal to soften or harden his idc|B of right, or
ti influence him in the performance of what he conceives to be his
duty,
How very important it is that the of crim
inals —the guardian of our homes—be a man who is above purchase,
and who is swayed neither by the blandishment of patronage nor the
threat of power.

BOTH BAD.
There is a good deal of talk by certain newspapers and among lead
ers of the colored race, regarding the reign of lynching in the South
and the "apparent effort to degrade and destroy 10,000,000 American
citizens."
But very little is being said about the infernal crimes of the brutes
that are causing all the trouble. In Atlanta in one day there were
abont six or eight assaults made on white women by negroes. That
law-abiding people were goaded into frienzied mobs bent on im
mediate vengeance and destruction, is little cause for wonder.
The reign of lynch law is an awful thing, and will yet endanger the
republic. But there are some other things just as bad to those who
have in them the tracTitions of the Anglo-Saxon race.

Now is the time to take long walks in the woods. If you like health,
the air is clear, frosty aud stimulating, and the exercise breathing it
will make you feel like a new-made person. Or if you like beauty,
the riot of red, brown and gold has I ejun, and in studying the glorious
ooloring you become lost in admiration at the Master hnnd that paint-,
ed it.

THE DANBURY MEETING.
Prof. Sharp In the Farmer and Co-
Operator Brags On Stokes and
Says It Is the Banner County.
The Association wns n line one,
and it seems that Stokes county is
the banner county in membership
1 in the Farmers' Protective Associa
tion. There was one Sub at Dan
bury last Monday represented by
• 38 delegates. When we realize that
, only one delegate for every five
members is permissible to the
county meeting, we will see that
1 that club—by name, Francisco
■ has nearly I'.K) members. She
. claims she will not stop until the
300 mark is reached. Other HS
, sociations wore represented by
numbers in the teens. We feel
sure we have never assisted in the
formation of a County Associa
tion with as much enthusiasm or a
more representative body of men.
They elected a President, Vice-
President, Secretary aud Treas
ures, and three Directors, who tire
excellent men and are awake to
the interest of the great cause they
represent. The officers fully re
alize the great and responsible po
sitions thsy occupy, and we think
they will put forth every effort
possible to make the County Asso
ciation a success. The time has
now come for more firm action
than ever before. Educate your
farmers to hold their tobacco. If
it is moulding, dry it, and then
prepare it for the steam dryer and
storage. By this means you can
hold your tobacco perfectly sound
until the price advances.
Why do you rusn it on the mar
ket !* Why do you feed the fur
; nace that you are trying to man
age and regulate with more fuel
than it wants ? Now, brother
farmer, as one of the watchmen of
your interest, I warn you that if
you run your tobacco on the mar
ket now you rob yourself and give
the American Tobacco Company
more strength to fight you.
Your head officers are doirg
th&ir best to gfet irffflngAmentd
perfected whereby you can save to
yourselves hundreds of thousands
of dollars ! Will you help theui
and will you stand by them '! If
so, we will succeed. If not, then
we must fail, and darkness will
shadow Uie future of every farmer
and close for all time to come the
1 prospects of our children,
