VOLUME XI
BOARD OF ELECTIONS THE DRY PRIZERY J. WILSON MITCHELL
IN CONTROL 0 F SIMMONS
Purport of Late Visits of Mr. Ward
of Washington Into Stokes
Kitchen Without Representation
On Board.
It is learned that Mr. Ward,
of Washington, who is Senator
Simmons' secretary, has recently
been very active in Stokes coun
ty in the interest of his chief.
Ho has paid several visits to the
county, and a good many people
did not know just what brought
the Washington gentleman here.
Now it is apparent that one
object of his visit was the secur
ing of information that would
lead the Simmons managers to
secure the control of the party
machinery in the county. This
theory appears to be established
by the fact that two Simmons
supporters have been appointed
on the Board of Elections, the
third member being a Republi
can. It seems that the State
Chairman. Webb, who is a Sim
mons man, appointed the elec
tion board without consulting
the county chairman, Dr. Elling
ton. who is a Kitchin supporter,
or the county executive commit
tee, a majority of whom favor
Kitchin. The election board
appointed is composed of Messrs.
S. P. Christian, J. C. Wall, H.
NI. Joyce. The Reporter has
not talked with either Mr. Chris
tian or Mr. Wall, but it is report
ed they are both for Simmons.
The third member. Mr. Joyce,
being a Republican, thus Gov.
Kitchin is without representation
on the board of elections in a
county which is probably !)() per
cent, favorable to his election.

in the mercantile business, saw
milling and farming, and had
accumulated an estate valued at

Mitchell had many friends in
the county who will learn of his
death with sincere regret.

much respected colored woman,
who has been a resident of

Democratic Ticket Suggested
!
11 King, Aug. 12.
Dear Editors :
11 As the Democratic convention
■ is drawing near we would like
ij to suggest the following names
11 for consideration for some of the
11 offices :
11 Sheriff—Jesse A. Lawson.
: Register of Deed> —VV. K.
Hartman.
Representative - C'has. W.
Hutcherson of Meadows.
Commissioners- D. F. Tillot
son, J. Adkins. Thos. Kallam.
1 Treasurer Rev. Preston
i
j Stone.
!
' j Coroner Dr. J. Walter Neal.
Surveyor—G. C. Davis.
We hope that every precinct
'i in the county will be so well
j represented that the convention
! will have to hold an overflow
meeting. We must put out a
'ticket that is not only pleasing
to us, but we must take into
consideration the great number
of good Republicans that want
to vote with us this time, A
clean ticket, in our opinion, will
have an excellent chance of elec
-1 tion.
Card of Thanks.
A word of thanks: we the
children of (I. F. Dunlap desire
to express our sincere thanks to
our relatives and many friends
for the kindness shown us during
our father's recent illness and
death. We can never thank them
enough, and especially the writer,
at whose house he died, will
never forget the many kind acts
'shown him. It makes the neigh
bors feel more dear to me thrn
ever.
Respectfully,
J. FRANK DUNLAP.
FLYING MEN FALL
victims to stomach, liver and

there's no need to feel like that

proved. "Si\ bottles of Elec

■ In Tliia Event It Would Probably
Mean the Defeat of the Regular
Cour.ty Republican Ticket.
There is some possibility that
the Hull Moosers of Stokes will
yet put out a ticket, though this
fear is not very troublesome to
the minds of theTaftsupporters,
who do not believe that the B.
M.'s can muster enough force to
count much. There are a large
number of Republicans in the
county who are still standing by
the principles of Mr. Roosevelt,
i and if they should decide to go
i it alone and put up a ticket it
■ would probably mean defeat to
I the regular Republican ticket in
1 Stokes.

Cutting Tobacco.
The tobacco curing season !s
now on and many farmers in
all sections of the county are
beginning to cut and house.
The cures are reported gooc!.
i The crop for 15*12 is large, and
of fair quality. In some sec
tions the dry weather has materi
ally injured the crop, but, taken
as a whole, perhaps the acreage
is the largest ever before,
while the quality will be up to
the average.
MR J W. HALL.
Suggested as Candidate For th©
Senate From Stokes and Surry.
Editors Danbury Reporter :
I will thank vou to allow me
1
space in your paper to suggest
the name of a candidate to rep
resent Stokes and Surry in the
next General Assembly of North
Carolina, from the district.
I will present the name of Mr.
.Ino. NN. Hall, of Danbury.
Mr. Hall is a voung man who
has practiced law in Danbury
for several years, and is making
good in his profession. He is a
'true-blue Republican, and would
represent the district with credit
!to himself and the party. There
is no man in either countv who
would work harder in the in
terest of his constituents. A
v ery strong feature in Mr. Hall's
candidacy would he his ability
to harmonize the party, not be
ing connected in any way with
any factional differences, if any
exist. Mr. Hall is of excellent
character, of good education,
and a strong debator. He
would serve the people well,
and would be elected by a large
majority beyond a doubt. We
think that the Republicans of
' Stokes and Surry would make
no mistake in giving the nom
ination to John W. Hall.
