Martin Mabry Given Ten Months On the Roads For Perjury-Fruit Growers Meet. ' Mt. Airy, April 28.—The most important case tried in Surry court which was in session last week, was one out of the ordinary. The defendant was Martin Mabry, of Mt.

Some months ago he was a 1 witness before the mayor against some parties who wero charged with an att'ray in which a deadly weapon was used. He was a star witness and maiuly on his testi mony the parties were bound over to court. But when he went on the stand at the term of court held last winter he knew almost noth ing and his testimony was con ; tradictory to what he had told be foro the mayor's court. The judge ordered a bill drawn against him for perjury and it was no trouble to convict him. Miss Rachel Moore has returned to her home in Stokes county, after spending several weeks in this city.

JOHN YOUNG ' SELLING" AGAIN A Little War Near Asbury—Wants Relief From the Whiskey Traffic. Brim Route 1, April 23. Mr. Editor : For the benefit of the public I i want you to print « few points of j law about selling block liquor j through this country. On last Sunday we had n reg- S ular little war near here at the house of Morgan Goin. John Young had a load of whiskey there | from Smithtown and after a crowd j had gathered and got drunk they j all got into a genoral tight, we | heard there was from live to eight I in one pile, all fussing and cursing; on Sunday, and frightened some of the women nearby in the j neighborhfflod. Now all these men are good clever men and hard working, allright when whiskey is not about them. How are we to stop this whiskey hauling ? I was told that every week there was a load passed from Smithtown up by Francisco. There was some boys at Collinstown or Padget's store got up with John Young's liquor wagon ou the day before some got so drunk they had to be taken home, boys in high standing, and two boys got into a fight there and cut Jim Caserty badly with a knife. Can a J. P. issue a warrant and have a liquor seller arrested and send him to jail or not? Please tell us what to do. S. L. G. PINNACLE ROUTE 3. Pinnacle Route 3, April 2(i.—A baseball team was organized at Marion's ground a few days ago. I guess they will soon be ready to play the league team of the coun try. A Sunday School started up at Pilot church a few weeks ago. We hope they will have a good school. We think the fruit crop is killed from the cold weather, and the tobacco crop will be short as the Hies have eat most all the plants. PECK'S BAD BOY. SANDY RIDGE ROUTE 1. Sandy Ridge Route 1, April 29. Wheat crop is looking fine in this section, and the Hies are destroy ing the tobacco plants.

I don't think I can correct Mr. Blair as "Bad Sam" did, although both have very good reasons for what they think, but as Mr. Blair says the Reporter can be filled with something more valuable I than broad smiles and grins. But what I want to hear is another es say on boys. lam right with the one that wrote that little piece. All we want is a longer essay next j time. "ME."

Portland, Oregon, April 22. Mr. Editor : I arrived in Portland, Oregon, Easter Sunday, and as you know I haven't been here very loug, but nevertheless if you will give me a small space in your valuable paper, I will tell you as best I can what I have learned by little experience and conversations, the advantages and attractions of this state, but to explain fully, would be too en umerating for my time and space given in this valuable paper. She is rich in industries and but still richer iu her many undeveloped resources. In climate, soil, natural resources and varied sceneries, there _ are few if any countries that would compare with this. The climate is not sur passed by any, it has all climates save torrid heat and arctic cold. In the vallejs west of the Cascade range of mountains and along the sea coast are perpetual springs and summers. There is no extreme heat in summer nor extreme cold in winter. Ocean currents and breezes from the southwest tem per the winter so grass and veg etation grow and keep green, and the cool breezes from the iceburgs and glaciers in the northwest make the summers delightful. From Portland, the future great city of the Pacific coast, and one of the greatest cities of the world, four great mountain peaks may be seen (the Hood, Baker, Adams and Rainer) with their snow-cap ped summit** dazzling in the sun light during the "good old summer times." The soil is adapted to the grow ing of all cereals, fruits and veg etables common to the temperate zone. West of the Cascades in the Willamette Valley is one of the gardens for growing the finest | apples, peaches, pears, cherries, ; grapes and all other kinds of fruits, blackberries, strawberries, etc., and the most importaut of all wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye, and other grains and hay, timothy, olover, alfalfa and other grasses, and oh yes ! the tine melons, beets, turnips, potatoes, squashes, cab bages, and the old big pumpkins, etc. Oregon and Washington are the greatest wheat growing countries in the world, the yield being from 50 to (>0 bushels per acre. Oregon contains more good merchantable timber than any other state in equal size. Of course we have nure rain here than you do in North Car olina, the soil is more open and of greater depth, and therefore it is required for the farmers' and gardner's truck. Farming land is worth more here than in North Carolina and varies in different prices owing to the situation and locations. Wages are froru $2 50 and up per day, $40.(30 per m nth and board working on the farm. I am working for my uncle. He is i a bridge contractor, and has sev | eral gangs of men working in different places and at different work—some at work at Oregon City, about 15 miles from here, cutting fir timbers for piling. He has ten head of horses. lie pur chased a team the other day wishing 3,300 pounds. You very seldom ever see horses back there weighing so much for tho land is so thin in some places you know it would be almost dangerous to lead them out. After these fir trees are cut they are hauled to the river and rafted down to Port land and other places. We are drawing some now ( .K) feet long for the foundation of a bridge here in tho city, and then fail sometimes to find a solid bottom after driving in the earth 90 feet. For fear >ou are getting worried with my letter 1 will ring off, wishing y u all much success and more good news through the Re porter. Yc ur friend, THOS E. SMITH. Messrs.

Melrose, New Mexico, April 20 Dan bury Reporter : This leaves my wife and myself well out here on the plains of New Mexico. I have taken up ll>o sores of government land. It,«fc | eve | just rolling enough to drean itself! This is a fine stock country. There is good grass here now, so one oould graze your work stock on and do good plowing without any grain. It is a tine climate—very little cold weather since I havef been in this part. The grtmtost drawback is water. We have to bore wells from 100 to JSOO feet and there are a great many "bored over the country, and when they strike water, it is good. It is raining here today, and old ' settlers say that have lived here for three or four years that they have never failed for the want of rain to make a orop. The principal crops here are oorn, wheat, alfalfa and Irish potatoes.' The average of corn per acre is 110 to 50 bushels, wheat, 30 to 40. They raise good kaffir, it is good feed for stock. It is cut with » oorn binder and tjed in bundles, ami feed stalka and all. There is some government kuidc here to be filed on yet. Any man that wants to get him a home can yet get free land. I live in Rooss velt county. It is a large county but in time will be cut up and at least two counties made of it. I have planted some corn. I shall not try to farm very much this year. I got here too late for a wheat crop. I shall try to fence me in a pasture. There is no herd law here yet. Tho big herds of cattle have about moved out. Most | of them have gone to Arizona and further west back into New Mex i ico. I can get $5.00 per day for my team for hauling any day I care to haul from the Breads hauling cedar posts. Find enclosed postoffice order for one dollar to the Danbury Re porter one year. I want to see what you all are doing back in Stokes. With best wishes, WALTER F. DAVJrf. . MEADOWS. Meadows, April 29.—Thero will be a very small crop of tobacco planted in this section as the bugs has destroyed most of the plants several not having enough to plant a barn full. I think the flies and bugs are helping the farmers out' jin their protective association. If the farmers dou't organizo the bugs will. There will be preaching at Beth el church the first Saturday and Sunday by Rev. Joyce. The Meadows baseball team mat lon the ground the 27th to play Danbury but they failed to come. There was a large crowd out to see the game. Hope they won't dis appoint the people next time. Mr. Geo. Warren says if be don't catch him a widow by Christ mas he is going to bid farewell Stokes. Rut Mr. Bony Glidewell says as "long as there is life, thero is hope."
