ioth her legs were broken. The hurt was of such a serious nature'
hat Miss Cozart it now much shorter in statue than before, being

»est to get the compromise.
iNLY TWO KICK ON THE PRICE.
[ the Reporter Was Formerly Worth
$l.OO It Must Be Worth
$1.50 Now.
The Reporter has heard of but
wo persons making a kick on the
aising of the price of subscription
f the paper. Nearly everybody
dmitß that if the former size of
he Reporter was worth one d>l
ir per year, that the new size
hould certainly be worth $1.50.
[he present size contains four
imes the reading matter of the
Id size, yet the price is a good
eal less than twice as much If
he old paper was worth one dol
»r, seems like the new paper
hould lie worth $4.00. But no one
seed kick, when the old price is
•ithin the reach of all, and any
erson has the privilege to sub
nbscribe as many years as wish
d at the price of one dollar per
ear, which privilege will continue
ill November 1. giving everybody
ptice and everybody the opper
unity to save the extra fifty cents.

Take Advantage Of Your Many
Opportunities.
With til©return of the lengthen
ed and pleasant and cool evenings
comes tho query to all—how shall
we best improve them? There a'e
a thousand pleasant way of spend
ing a fall or winter evening with
in the roach of those who have
command of their own time, and
prominent among those is indul
gence in literary pursuit*. How
few, comparatively, of the young
people of the present day, appre
ciate as they should the excellent
privileges they enjoy. Surrounded
as are the young in all cities and
most towns, with all the oppor
tunity necessary fur the culti
vation of a literary taste not one
in a thousand appears to improve
| the golden chances. Occasionally.
lit is true, we meet with a young
' man or woman who firmly grasps
! the idea that "knowledge is power"
i but these, unfortunately are the
; exceptions, not the rule
Thousands of young men who
I have comfortable homes, whose
parents are willing to supply them
with books and papers, instead of
j availing themselves of these advan
tages spent their long evenings
i either t in idle lounging around
corners or in company with
frivolous associates male for
female. Thus, winter after winter
passes away, each one bringing
them nearer the age of manhood
but not fitting them for the proper
discharge of the dntiesthat a full-
I manhood requires. They enter upon
| the busy stage of life with none of
• those safeguards which a cul
tivated intellect throws around
its possessor, They start'out labor
ing under a thousand disadvan
tag s and confronted by innumer
able obstacles which appear like
shadows before a well in formed
mind, The fact that they do net
contemplate adopting a prof
essional career does not in any deg
rerelieve them from the charge
of being untrue to them selves,
: their friends and their country,
while thus flittering away the most
precious hours it their lives in
' company of those associates
whom to b- with is contamination.
How many of them will resolve
in 'he fall of 1907 of the t««n.
tii th century to turn over a n> w
leaf and iiuprovcthe long evenings
of the fall and winter?—By D. H.

DANBURY, N. C., OCT. 3, 1907.
| A BANQUET TO BRYAN.
Greensboro To Give Old Fashioned
Southern Supper—Mr. Bryan
Will Be Expected to Sound
Keynote To Issues Of
Coming Campaign.
Greensboro, Sept. 29—Dr. J.
E. Brooks, chairman of the Bryan
banquet committee of arrange
ments, has heard from the last
one of the distinguished men
solicited to reply to toasts, as well
as from Mr. Bryan, and all have
not only accepted and notified him
of their purpose to be present, but
express approval of the idea of
having an old-fashioned Southern
supper, where true democracy can
be preached without fear of giving
offense to any. This banquet and
these (peeches to be given on
Wedii' sday night of October 1»
will be of national importance
since not only Mr. Bryan but
others who will speak will probab
ly sound national as well as State
key-notes on which will be pit
ched the issues of the next cam
paign. The program of toasts and
speeches is as follows: Toast
master, Alfred Moore Scales
"The things upon which we are
Agreed," Robert N. Prfge, con
| gressman from the seventh dis
trict. "State Rights," Ex- Gov
enor Charles B. Aycock. After
these toasts and responses Mr.
Bryan will be introduced by E. J.
Justice, speaker of the House of
Represer.tatwes. Mr.Bryan will be
given ample time in which to ful
ly express hi-* views ou all im
portant questions pending or prob
able in the coming national politi
cal campaign.
The supper given in hon >r of
Mr. Bryan by Democrats of
Greensboro and Guilford county
will not be a modern "banquet"
stall, but an old fashioned South
ern feast of reason and flow of soul
It « ill be given in the immense
hall known as Neese hall nt. the
corner of east Washington and
South Davie street. There will bt>
seats, plates and food for 400
itnests, among whom will be ntim
bered many of the best Democrsts
and most prominent men from all
parts of the State.
One of the best evidences of
the propriety of the proposed
politioal and social function is the
prompt manner in which the
leading oitizens and business men
of the city responded to tl>e
suggestion of financial aid to
make the occasion what it should
be. The necessary funds could
have been duplicated had they
been needed.

Consumption Kills Mr. Robt
Martin, Wife and Child
Within a Few Weeks'
. Time.
Extremely safl and pitiable was
the case of Mr. Kobt. L. Martin,
who died Ir.st Sunday afternoon at
his home three miles east of Dan

tion, and his wife died with the
same disease otdy a few weeks

months-old infant died with a sim
ilar trouble. Three lives closed
by the Great Destroyer within a
few weeks.
Mr. Martin suffered greatly for
many long months, and shortly
before his death he was helpless
and in actual want, though he had
some property. Last Sunday af
ternoon he was found to be alone
and unconscious.
The deceased was an honest and
hardworking man, and was well
thought of by his neighbors.
He was buried in the family
graveyard on Tuesday.
Mr. Martin is survived by one
childsy(ars old, which will be
oared for by Mr. Wilkes Priddy,

Hunting Possums.
For many "citizens of North
Carolina the first of October is a
day of importance and promise. On
this day in certain counties of
the State the open season for
'possum hunting is on. In that
territory tonight, no doubt,
many a boy and man will seize his
axe, his lantern, call his dogs and
make for the woods.
Notwithstanding the fact t lint he
has been hunted for generations,
the o'possum is still holding his
own in this country. In some sec
tions, in fact, the funny little an
imalsare said to be on the increase.
The 'possum is highly esteemed
by a good many of our population,
especially the back portion of it,
and it WHS deemed wise to give
the toothsome rodent some pro
tection.
For that reason the legislature
passed a law making it unlawful
to hunt 'possums between the first
day of February and the first day
of Oot. The law applies to Al
amance, Caswell, Chatham, Dur
ham, Franklin, Graham, Guilford,
Halifax, Mecklenburg, Moore, Or
ange Pamlico, Wake, Warren and
Greene. Some the other counties
have special laws.

tobacco. Wince Fulton spent
n few days the pnst week with his
uncle, Mr. Newsome.
A curio and ice cream party
was given the young people at

Miss Emma Young has been

Joe's mama won't let biin visit
that part of the country any
j more for fear he will get hurt.
What ia the trouble with Mr.
Watt Wall, he has not seen

guess Miss Claudie is feeling
J blue too.
Mr. Ross Newsome went all the
j way to the ice cream supper
Thursday night to see his girl and
the other fellow was sporting
her when he got there. Guess
Miss Hattie has changed her
mind, as she has quit claiming
tall fellows, and gone to sporting a
"Brownie." Mr. John Young and

ping their papa's old razors every
Sunday morning, and going to
Rocky Hollow, to take a shave.

Say Enj, don't be too hard on
them.
Guess the wedding bells will
soon ring in Tuttle town again,
