DEMOCRATS WILL WIN
Roosevelt Will Probably Run 1
Third In the Presidential
Race —The Electors.
This is the last issue of the
Reporter before the election.!
The next issue will l>e sent out |
on Wednesday morning after
the election and will tell the
result as far as it is possible to
give it at that time.
At this writing the Senatorial
fight between Messrs. Kitchin.
Simmons and Clark is over
shadowing all others, the friends
of each one claiming to be in the
lead. It is impossible to tell
how the light will go. Stokes
will no doubt give Governor
Kitchin a good majority.
As far as the State ticket is
concerned the usual Democratic
majorities will no doubt be niven.
From the general outlook it is
probable that Locke Craig and
the Democratic State ticket will
win bv .">O,OOO. even if the Re
publicans and Progressives
should fuse.
In the presidential vote Wilson
will get a large majority in
North Carolina. while most
of the papers of the State
think that Taft will run third on
the ticket, Roosevelt taking the
second place.
Very little is said about the
congressional race in the State.
In some districts the Democratic
candidates have no opposition. 1
In this district Mr. ('. W. Curry,
of Greensboro, is opposing Major
Stedman for Congress, though
the election is conceded t> the
latter by a large majority.
There are about 25 counties in
the Stat-.' which are very close
politically and may send Repub
lican nv mbersto the Legislature.
However, there is no doubt that
the next General Assembly will
be overwhelmingly Democratic
in both branches.
The Democratic electoral
ticket is as follows :
Farmers' and Gorrell's Warehouses
WINSTON-SALEM, NORTH CAROLINA.
We have the pleasure of announcing- to our friends that we have leased the Leader Warehouse for a long
term of years, and will operate it under the name of (iorrell's Warehouse. We will run this warehouse
in connection with Farmers' Warehouse, giving vou first sale every day, and Bob and Pete (iorrell on

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK GREAT 'POSSUM HUNT

History of the Country. Young W omen and

MRS. SUSIE NEWSOM
The Deposits of Local Banks'
Show l.arjje Increase Over
Year Ago Collections
the Best Hver.
The financial outlook was
never brighter in the history of
the nation. The biggest crop
ever harvested in wheat, cotton,
corn, and tobacco will add
10 billions of dollars to the
wealth of the farmers, and the
reflection of this stupendous ad
dition to the country's wealth
is seen in the great increase of
earnings by the railroads, and
the marked stimulation of trade
! in all lines of business and in
dustries. The presidential elec
tion will not affec * •« situation
at all. This i* >!•■. ..ued by prac
tically ever;, fading banker,
capitalist ai d financier in the
'"tilled States. Notwithstand
ing someof the political managers
are preaching disaster ahead,
it is conceded by all who are not
! politicians that the election of
Roosevelt, Taft or Wilson cannot
alTect business unfavorably. The
policies of all the parties are
sufficiently well known, and the
big interests several months ago
adapted themselves to whatever
may arise. There is a strong
reaction setting in among the
people calling for less radical
adjustment of "big business"
1 and more careful and eonser
tive handling the nation's
vital element, which is busi
nesss.
In Stokes county the farmers
are receiving handsome returns
on their year's Inbors, and the
landlords are be Wig well repaid
for their investments. The
people are enabled to pay their
debts, and purchase future sup
plies for cash. Collections at
the local banks, the Hank of
Stokes County at Dan bury and
Walnut (. ove, are the best in
the history of the institution.
Scarcely any renewals are de
sired by farmers, who are meet
ing their October. November
and December notes with the
currency. Deposits at Walnut
Cove last Saturday passed an
unprecedented mark, while at
Danbury the showing was equal
ly as good. The Hank of Stokes
has nearly sS(),(l>o more on de
posit than this date a year ago,
and announces that it is pre
pared to loan money at reason
able rates to all persons on ap
proved security.
