Case of Meadow s Township
Citizens Against Road
Commissioners.
'SECURING EVIDENCE
Alaps Showing Location of Road
In Question To Be Submitted
By Both Sides —Counsel
Employed.
The case of citizens of the
eastern section of Meadows town
ship against the highway com
missioners of their township, in
which an action is brought to
compel the highway commission
ers to build the much-discussed
Blackburn-Meadows road in that
township, will be heard in cham
bers before Judge Deyin in
Friday.
Quite a number of citizens of
Meadows, township, representing
both sides, will go to Greensboro
Friday to attend the hearing.
Ex-Judge E. B. Jones, of
i Winston-Salem, will represent
the Meadows citizens, while Ex-
Judge W. P. Bynum, of Greens
boro, will appear for the highway
commissioners.
Both sides have been busy the
past week securing affidavits and
maps of the township showing
' the location of the road in ques
tion.
If the suit is continued by
Judge Devin the case will be
tried by jury at the next term of
Stokes Superior court here, while
if the judge finds that the Mea-
Idows citizens have no grounds
on which to base their claims on
the highwav commissioners the
matter will be dismissed.
Remember December 1.
Do you want your paper stop-
Iped when the time is out ?
I We believe you do, and so this
l policy will be adopted in the
! office of the Danbury Reporter
Rafter December 1.
Don't get offended if your
paper fails to come after Dec. 1.
It will only mean that we are
trying to carry out a plain, sen
sible business plan which has
been adopted by every up-to-date
newspaper.
| It will NOT mean that we are
afraid to trust YOU. We have
I many subscribers on our books
iwho regularly pay up their
I subscription, while we have
tnany others who do not.
| We cannot take the time and
trouble and expense of mailing
fcout so many statements. The
only business way is for you to
Bend us the money in advance if
you want the paper longer, and
if you do not want it longer,
send us nothing, and the paper
will be promptly stopped.
We will thank all our friends
and patrons to help us success
fully carry out the new modern

are being experienced. Prices

YADKIN TOWNSHIP
W ill \ ote Again On Proposi
tion of Issuing Bonds.
FOR GOOD ROADS
I
Protracted Meeting In Progress
At Alt. Olive Church—Other
News of King Route 2.
King Route 2, Nov. IB.— Our
people are beginning to talk
good roads again and the citizens
of Yadkin township are prepar
ing to circulate petitions and ask
the county commissioners to
grant the township an election
lin order that it may vote again
on the proposition of issuing
bonds to build good roads in
Yadkin. It is learned that a
great many of the citizens of the
township who oppased a bond
issue in the last election are now
strongly in favor of one. Some
of them have traveled over the
good roads in Sauratown, Mead
ows and Danbury townships and
are now frank to admit that they
are sorry they voted against
bonds in their township. Yad
kin is one of the largest and
wealthiest townships of the
county and can well afford to
vote a bond issue for roads. A
man who is not in favor of good
roads and other improvements
in his county and township is a
draw back to progress. This
is a progressive age. Our town
ship is progressing along nearly
all other lines with the exception
of rfeds and they are growing
from bad to worse every year,
and will continue to grow worse
as long as we depend upon the
old out-of-date system of work
ing them which we now have.
It is expected to get an election
on the question in February or
March.
A protracted meeting was
commenced at Mt. Olive Baptist
church Sunday. The meeting
will likely continue a week or
two as the church has a large
field and much work to do. We
wish the meeting great success.
Rev. P. Oliver, whose death
we noted some days since', is
very much missed in our com
munity as well as in his home.
Messrs. C. H. Lunsford and
G. W. Smith visited the Winston-
Salem tobacco market the past
week and report prices very
good considering the quality of
the grades being sold.
SCRIBBLER.
DON'T FORGET.
Beginning December I, 1914, the cash-in-advance
plan will be adopted by the DANBURY REPORTER,
and all unpaid subscriptions will be dropped from
the list.
This is the policy adopted by a majority of the
progressive newspapers of the United States. Our
friends will oblige us by helping us carry out the
policy. It is best for the paper and best for the
subscriber. The expense and labor of collecting
small amounts is the reason we take this procedure.
Many of our subscribers who have for many years
made it a habit to pay up once a year, will confer a
favor by not forgetting that this rule will apply to
all, and no exceptions will be made in the case of
any person.

TEACHERS' ASSEMBLY.
Programs Are Being Sent
Out for the Meeting at
Charlotte Nov. 25-28.
Raleigh, Nov. 18. The
programs for the thirty - first
annual session of the North
Carolina Teachers' Assembly are
being mailed out for the meeting
in Charlotte next week from
Wednesday, November 25. to
Saturday, November 28.
At the offices of the State
Department of Education the
work has been immense. Fifteen
hundred teachers are expected
to attend the Charlotte assembly.
State Superintendent J. Y,
Joynor has called upon every
city and county superintendent
of schools, every school board of
county and city and others in
authority to grant to all teachers
who may wish to attend the
assembly Friday succeeding
Thursday. Thanksgiving Day.
Dr. Joyner declares his belief
that the teachers will gain more
at this conference than they can
I get otherwise, and he asks that
they be allowed to attend Friday
without loss of salary to them.
As Charlotte is within easy reach
of so many places, the Wednes
day night and Thursday sessions
can be attended without any loss
of time because Thursday is a
holiday. The teachers would
lose only Friday.

Joyce performed the ceremony.
The couple are among the popular
young people of the community.
We extend congratulations.
Farmers are about through
sowing grain in this section and
there has been a larger acreage
seeded than usual. It seems
that the high cost of farm
products is learning the farmers
to raise their supplies at home
and to not depend entirely upon
tobacco for a living.
Miss Dora Ward, who has been
quite sick for some time, con
tinues quite ill, we are sorry to
note.
There was a pea hulling at Mr.
J. H. Duncan's Thursday night.

been quite low for some time

EXCELSIOR.
letter To Our friends
and Subscribers
When you carry your tobacco
to market, do you like to get the
money on the spot, or wait one,
two or three years for it, and
sometimes NEVER get it.
The credit policy is a poor
policy, and means trouble, loss
and sometimes hard feelings.
That is why we propose to
adopt the cash in advance plan
of subscription.
We think it will suit you better,
and we know it will suit us
better.
Bishop Randthaler, of Winston-
Salem, will preach and also
