Page 2 SURRY COUNTY NEWS. Prohibition Will Carry Our Neighbor to the West — Vester and John L. Christian Lease Piedmont Warehouse of Mt. Airy—Other Items of In terest. From the Mount Airy Leader. As an indication of wbat might be accomplished in this section in the stock raising line, a pair of j native beef cattle were 6old here I last Monday that weighed 2,450: pounds. They were bought by a j local butcher. Messrs. Vestal P. and John L. | Christian have k'Hsed the Pied-1 mont Warehouse in this city for a term of three years, beginning the! first of next September, when they will open the house for the ' sale of leaf tobacco. Stock to the value of nearly two j hundred dollars have died in this ( neighborhood on account of mad-!. dogs, some say. while others say it is a disease. However, it doesn't j take an affected animal long to' die. ' Prohibition seems to be grow iog stronger in this county, and since Judge Pridchard talked to ( our people, the sentiment in favor ® of the bill passed by the legisla ture is rapidly growing. The people generally are taking more c interest in the question, and from * what this journal can see, unless * there is a wonderful change be tween now and the prohibition 8 election, Surry county will regis- v ter a majority for temperance. There may be an undercurrent against prohibition, as some have 8 asserted, but if such is the case it c has as yet failed to come out in the open in these parts. Sheriff J. M. Davi6 of thiscoun- ty last Saturday deposited with k the First National Bank of this'' city $5,700, subject to the disposal i * of the Mt. Airy Board of Magis- i € trates. This deposit represents a the principal due Mt. Airy town- ' 6hiu on back railroad taxes, but ' • ( the interest, which amounts to about $2,000, is in litigation, the ' Magistrates having brought suit ' against the Sheriff and his bonds men to recover the same. This ' case is pending in court, and can not now be settled before next ! term.

This ac jtion on the part of the Sheriff re ! lieves him of any liability to the | township until the question of in- j ; terest is decided in the courts. j Mr. T. J. Davis Sells His Cow. A few days since Mr. T. J. Davis, of Danbury, inserted a j three or four line advertisement j in the Reporter saying that he had a cow to sell. Mr. Davis was ! i here Thursday and told the Re porter that he had sold his cow as ! a direct result of the little ad and besides had had other inquiries, one man coming some distance to see the sow, which had already been sold. This goes to show you that if you have anything to sell or want to buy anything it will pay you to let it be known through the Reporter. You will be pretty sure to find a man among the Reporter's readers who will trade with yon. Last Wednesday Mr. Herring, a State prohibition lecturer, ad dressed a small crowd in the court house here on prohibition. Mr. Herring assured the prohibition ists that be had been all over the State and that the State would go for prohibition by a great majori ty. He said that he found less enthusiasm in this county than any place he had visited. Mr. Herring was accompanied here by the Rev. A. R. Bell, of Walnut Cove, who is taking a lot of in- j terest in the cause in this county, and is doing some bard and good work. He is prohibition manager for the county. The Stokes County Pension Board will meet here on the first Monday in July. THE DANBURY REPORTER. A Word To "lack Let" Mr. Editor : I want to say a few words in re gard to Jack Leg's piece in the Reporter against prohibition. He is in Spray where he oan't get any whiskey, because they have ' prohibition and yet says there is " more drunkenness there than when they had barrooms. Poor thirsty Jack Leg, you want some whisk ey so bad you don't know what to do nor say except to fight prohibi tion. He says people are drunk on prohibition. I think be is drunk because he can't feet whis i key. He talks like all men do who want whiskey. I attended the Stokes County fair at Greensboro on the sixth of April, or in other words the Feder al court. I never 6aw a man drunk down there except two, j who got their whiskey at Madi-1 | son as they went on. They have prohibition in Greensboro. One man from Stokes who wanted 1 whiskey and not prohibition said he could get all the whiskey he wanted, but I was informed that he could not get a drop. He found a negro that said he could get it for him; so he gave him 50 cents to get it; but never saw ne gro nor money any more. Dear friends, don't listen to Jack Leg; but back your own judgment and let's vote it out on the 2Gth of May and have our next fair in Stakes, not in Greens boro. While our Smithtown people are in Atlanta lets set them a good example and free old Stokes of the poisonous whiskey that has so long bad its full sway in the county. PROHIBITIONIST. , The Reporter will be sent to I any address until the week after the election next November for 75 cents. Now is the time to subscribe, as every issue of the j paper will be of interest to those i ! who are interested in politics. | The Reporter is informed that Dr. W. A. Lash is critically ill at his home in Greensboro. He has suffered several strokes of paral ysis, and is confiued to his bed, all but speechless, and it is only a question of a very short time pos sibly until his death. GROWINf PEAS AND HAT. Mr. Cooper Tells What He Did la the Business On Thin. Hilly Land. Messrs. Editors: Complying with your request for further in formation in regard to my experi ence with peas and hay after threshing, as well as replying to several personal tetters, I will say that as a money crop j>eas are one of our leaders, for many reasons. I will first speak of them and corn raised together. When the land is strong enough, I always plant [corn, as it will i>ay the entire ex pense and leave the peas and the bay a clear profit: and at the same time,'improve the land each year. MOSEY IK CORN AKI) PEAS. 1 have thin bill land, clay soil, and will tell what I have done. After gathering 18 bushels of corn per acre, I have threshed 4 bush els of peas and baled 2,(W0 pounds of hay. At present prices, you can 6ee that it will prove a profit able crop— peas $9.00. hay $17.50, corn $13.50, total $40.00. Any practical farmer can figure the ex pense of breaking the land and plowing the corn, say, four times. We would differ, no doubt, in our estimate; but to be safe, place the cost of cultivating at $5.00. seed $1.25, cutting and threshing $2.75, total $9.00, leaving a net profit of $31.00. So much for corn and peas. PROFITABLE PEA HARVESTERS Rl'N WITHOUT HORSES. But some will ssy they haven't a machine, so I will give my ex perience without harvesting the J peas for the first year. In 1S(03,: my first year on tbis place, I had one teunarit working 22 acres of land that ginned 7 bales by using some commercial fertilizer. In' 1904, on the same land without fertilizing, be made three bales: so I took the land from him, and he left the place because of it. 1 Iu 15)05, I put a disc 6eeder of the John Deere make in the field, dis ced it ever twice, planting one: bushel of peas per acre. In the fall I placed hogs on the field, without keeping any account of their gain, which must have been £t leaßt $75.00 to SIOO.OO. DEEP PLOWING FOLLOWED BY A 1 GOOD CROP. In December of the same year, I broke with 24-inch disc break ers as deep as foiir good mules could pull it; followed in the same fur Tow with a No. 8 Famous steel beam plow as deep as two good mules could pnll it, break ing my land a total of about 14 inches deep. In the spring of 1906, I rebroke with a 24-inch disc following with a GO tooth iron drag harrow, planting corn in ! rows 3 1-2 feet apart and 20 inches in the drill. A hoe was never put in the field. We plowed four times with cultivators; and when; the corn was aboat waist h igb, planted 5 pecks of clay peas per acre. The.vines were very heavy 1 —in fact, we had to put 4 mules to a McCormick mower to cut them after gathering the corn. I gathered 340 bushels of corn, ; threshed 100 bushels of peas, and i baled 33 tons of hay. I kept it j all, so cannot say what it brought i in dollars. MONEY IN COTTON IP VOL FARM 1 WISELY. In 1907, 1 put the land in cot- j ton on shares, ginned 15 bales of ; cotton;and am going to plant the same land in cotton this year.! There is nice money in raising I cotton at present prices, on good i land; but the hill farmer cannot afford to run bis land down by contiuued cultivation in cotton. Besides, labor with us is getting j to be one of the items we have to 1 reckon with; and, I think, our on- ' ly safe plan is more stock—e»pe-1 chilly hogs and sheep—raising ; our own mules, with some to sell,' and more peas. This menus bet-! ter land and good fences, which : are essential to successful farm-; ing, and more independence for the Southern farmer. W. 8. COOPER.
