LETTER FROM SHERIFF PETREE. A Statement In Regard to the Bills Introduced In the Senate By J. C. Buxton. To the Editor of the Dan bury Reporter, Danbury, N. C. : Kindly publish the following statement in regard to the bills in troduced in the Senate by Senator Buxton, of Forsyth oounty, by re quest of W. W. King, to appoint a jury commission and a tax collec tor for Stokes county, also to abolish the office of Treasurer in said county, etc., which came up and was argued before the Senate committee Wednesday, February 27th. As there was only fifteen min utes granted each side to those favoring and those opposing the bills, I did not have the time to i refer to all the abusive and false | ] charges made against my brother I, and myself by W. W. King, the j only person present favoring the bills. L Mr. King charged us with be- j longing to a court bouse ring, and said that we were a bulldozing set; that we intimidated voters ; that ( the Republican officeholders had f packed the jury, also that one Mr. . John Reynolds had handed out j poll tax receipts ou day of elec- { tion. j Now, Mr. Editor, I wish to say that all these charges are without | foundation, and absolutely false. . I wish to show Mr. King's . shortsightedness and inconsis- tency. It will be remembared by ! . the committee, before whom the j I ( bills were argued, that Mr. King j made the statement that one a Mr. John Reynolds, had handed out poll tax receipts on day of election and gave as his authority, Mr. J. C. Flinn, of Pine Hall, N. C. Now, as to tha consistency of Mr. King, if Mr. Reynolds was guilty of so low aud base an act as Mr. King would make it appear he was, in the name of reason why j did he select him as a suitable j man to place on the jury commis sion. Now I ask if he is guilty of the charge Mr. King prefers against him, is he a fit subject to be on the commission to select a jury? "Oh ! consistency thou art a jewel." I deny that Mr. Reyn-1 olds did anything wrong along this line, for I believe him to be a j high-toned Christian gentleman.! Mr. King reflected upon my honor when he made the state ment before the committee, that he was surprised that I should come to Raleigh to oppose a bill which if enacted into law would i CURES BLOOD, SKIN DIS-' EASES, CANCER, GREAT EST BLOOD PURIFIER FREE.

AND SI.OO. jji take the tax books away from me, insinuating that I was unworthy of the office to which the people of my county had elected me. If the readers of this article will pardon me for referring to myself, I wish to say that I have tried to live above suspicion or reproach. I have been a candidate seven times in my life and never have been defeated, always carrying my home precinct, leading the ticket, and not only getting the entire Republican vote, but Democrats, as well, supporting me. At the last election my vote was 122 and iny opponent's 27, giving me at i home a clear majority of 95. Mr. King charged me with having been elected five successive terms I to the legislature, and that I came | home and rested two years and had since been elected two terms to the office of sheriff, but that I would not be sheriff if they had had an honest count. Now, who counted us in ? Every one knows that we have not a single Repub lican registrar and the entire elec tion machinery is in the hands of the Democrats. I repeat, who counted us in ? This I consider a reflection on his Democratic brethren. To the charge of being eleoted to the legislature five times and to the sheriff's office twice, I plead guilty, but if it is a crime to be elected to represent your people in the legislature, the gentleman is guilty of the same offense once but one term was sufficient to sat isfy our people. He is also guilty of twice making the attempt since committing the offence, but he was my opponent each time and the people voted him down by nearly 700 majority and kept the gentleman at home each time. But who is W. W. King, who is trying to get legislation presum ably for the better government of Stokes county, and what is his ■ following in the county ? Suffice lit to say that a few years ago he was a candidate for judge and how many votes did he receive in his own township and in his own town ? Well, just one ! I am sorry to have to make any such statements about one of my countymen, for I do not like to sling mud or get down in the gut ter, but Mr. King has driven me to this. There is a limit beyond which things should not go. For | bearance sometimes ceases to be a virtue. I had too much self-re spect and too much respect for the committee to resent his insin uations in their presence, and hope he will think better of the matter and not again repeat them.

One or two pills taken each night for a while is the best thing known for any one troubled with con stipation, indigestion, dispepsia or any trouble arising from an im pure state of the blood. Brandreth's Pills have been in use for over a century and are s«>ll in every drug and medicine store, either plain or sugar-coated. BROWN'S WAREHOISEi Winston, IN.

The Imitation Brands Have Schnapps Quality Only On the Outside Of the Plug Hundreds of imitation brands are on sale that look like Schnapps to bacco. The outside of the imitation plugs of tobacco is flue cured the same as Schnapps, but the inside is filled with cheap, flimsy, heavily sweetened air cured tobacco. One chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger longer than two chews of such to bacco. The color, size and shape of the tags, plugs and packages of certain imitation brands of tobacco have been made so much like Schnapps that they have often been accepted by buyers under the belief that they were getting Schnapps. Sufficient proof has been secured to establish the fact that certain brands are infringements and in vio lation of the trade mark laws, yet the trade will continue to be imposed upon by these infringers until the suit already entered and now pending to protect Schnapps is decided. A great many of these imitations are R. J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY, WINSTON-SALEM, N. C. To Cure a Cold in One Day b Two Days.

The Right Distance For Planting Corn. As the average of five years' re sults at the Edgecombe Farm with the yield varying from sixteen to thirty-five bushels per acre it has been found that the most favor able distancing of prolific varieties of corn was in four-foot rows and having the stalks three feet apart in the row; while at the Iredell and Red Springs Farms as the average of three and four years' results, respectively, corn planted in five-foot rows and two feet be tween the hills produced better results when the yields have va ried fourteen to forty-six bushels per acre at the Iredell Farm and from nine to twenty-three at the Red Springs Farm.—C W. Wil liams, North Carolina Department of Agriculture, Raleigh. LADIES HATS—Just received a beautiful line of ladies' hats. At the lowest prices. W. L. NELSON, Danbury Route 1. claimed to be "just as good" as Schnapps, but there is only one gen uine Schnapps. Be sure the letters on the tag, and stamped on the plug under the tag spell S-C-H-N-A-P-P-S and then you have it—the most wholesome tobacco produced, with just enough sweetening to preserve the mild, juicy, stimulating quality of the leaf tobacco. Expert tests prove that this flue cured tobacco, grown in the famous Piedmont region, re quires and takes less sweetening than any other and has a wholesome, stimulating, satisfying effect on chewers. If the tobacco you are chewing don't satisfy you more than the mere habit of expectorating, stop fooling yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco. Schnapps is like the tobacco chewers formerly bought costing from 75c. to SI.OO per pound; Schnapps is sold at 50c. per pound, in sc. cuts, strictly 10c. and 15c. plugs.
