ALMOST A MIRACLE.
One of the most startling
1 changes ever seen in any man,
according to W. B. Holscaw,
Clarendon, Tex., was effected
years ago in his brother. "He
had such a dreadful cough," he
writes, "that all our family
thought he was going into con
sumption, but he began to use
Dr. King's New Discovery, and
was completely cured by ten bot
tles. Now he is sound and well
and weighs 218 pounds. For
many years our family has used
this wonderful remedy for Coughs
and Colds with excellent results.''
It's quick, safe, reliable and

TURNPIKE SURVEY
WILL SOON BE FINISHED
Engineer Brown and Assistants At i
Meadows Having Located a Per- j
manent Route lor the Highway
From the Buck Island Bridge
Not Much Trouble Over Rights
cMVay.
Engineer Brown, of the North
Carolina Geological and Knocomic
Survey, who is locating the route
for the sand-clay turnpike from
I'.uek Island bridge to the Forsyth
county line, is now working in
the Meadows section. He will,
probably reach Walnut Cove
Friday and will doubtless finish
the survey at the county line by
Saturday, or sooner.
The permanent route for the
highway has been located as far
south from the northern terminus
as Meadows. But little trouble has
been encountered in the right of
way, large landowners like A. .J.
Fair, John M. Calloway, .J. Spot
Taylor. I >rs. J. Walter Neal, J.
William Neal, J. M. Neal, and
others offering freely the rftute
over their property.
It is now believed by every
well informed person that the
landowner who is damaged most
by the turnpike is the one whom
the r imsses. Property along
a scieni i: c highway is worth
from t'.vo to twenty times more
than pro; rt\ isolated on a bad
road. Kverybody likes t.i li\t on
the frc-'it. Bark lots* or land
that is (lillieult to reach is great
ly less desirable than property
which has a frontage on a tho
roughfare. It is the policy of
the turnpike company to pay no
damages to any person, which
would be a troublesome preced
ent, as to pay one person would
mean chat others would have to
be paid, and the beginning of this
policy would mean a costly un
dertaking. The men who are
putting their money up for the
building of the turnpike are do
ing so on the supposition and
with the understanding that the
people want the road, and not
that they would impede its com
ing with any stumbling blocks.
Should the present route be im
possible to be secured, a new
route will at once be laid out in a
different direction. The Re
porter will print next week a
list of those who have given the
right of way, together with the
distance over their lands which
the road traverses.
It is hoped that the survey may
be completed, the charter secur
ed, the balance of the money
raised and work started by the
first of June. Work will begin
probably at the county line or at
Walnut Cove, in order that the
necessary machinery may be
transported easily as it may te
needed on the road.

New Union Store Opens.
The new Farmers' Union store
on Mizpah Route 1, located at
Mr. W. G. Slate's roller mill, has
been completed and opened up
with a full stock of goods. This
store is branch of the Union
store at King and will no doubt,
do well.
Dr. J. W. Slate is president of
the company.

MUCH COMPLAINT BY FARMERS !
Busfs or Flies Destroying the Yourg
Tobacco Plants In Many Section;-.
There is much complaint
'among the farmers in many see-
I tions of the county that flies or
bugs are destroying the young
tobacco plants. The little in
sects suck the plants until they
die and many plant beds have i
been completely ruined. ;j ]
The recent cool dry weather I
has kept tobacco plants from 
growing and in their present
tender state they are easily kill
ed.

All Teachers Compelled to At
tend.
A county teachers institute or
normal will be held in the court
house at Danbury this year
beginning on -'uly 2linl and
continuing for two weeks.
Supt. of Schools J. T. Smith
states that I'rof. K. \V. Allen,
superintendent of the graded
school of Sanford. will probably
be secured to conduct the in
stitute.
The indications are that the
attendance on the instituta this
I year will be larger than for a
number of years as the law
makes it absolutely necessary
for all public school teachers as
j well as high school and graded
! school teachers to attend an
i institute continuously once every
two years for a term of at least
two weeks.
