Second Section VOLUME XLIII. LEARN TO READ AND WHITE The Moonlight School Will Enable You To Be Master of Your Own Fate and An Active Participant In the Government of Your Country. Written for the Reporter. The Moonlight Schools start ed Monday night. Those who can neither read nor write are urged to attend these schools, where they will be taught, with out money or without price. It is a great privilege to be master of your own fate, an act ive participant in the government of your country. It is the high est and holiest right ever exer cised by a human being on this teeming earth. Hut how is one going to vote intelligently with out knowing how to read" ir is not surprising, with Stokes c >unty away down in the iist of illiteracy, that there are but few good r i".ds, and hardly a thought y'.w.i l > anything but raising to bacco.

TO OUR MANY FRIENDS IN STOKES : Our market will be in full swing within a few clays now and we are expecting you to come to see us. We are expecting you simply for the reasons that we believe that you know that we have two of the best lighted warehouses in the state, two exceptional good auctioneers, accommodations for you and your stock unsurpassed by any ware house, an efficient force to handle your tobacco, and finally because The Gorrell boys will get you MORE MONEY for your tobacco than any other warehouse anywhere can get for you. We have been in the warehouse business all our life--long enough to have learned what tobacco is and the highest price each buyer will pay for each grade. It is our business to make every pile bring the high figure, and this we do. Do you know that the highest price paid for a pile of tobacco on the Winston market last year was paid in Farmers Warehouse and that a Stokes man was the grower? Do you know that we got $496.88 for the tobacco that was grown on one acre in 1913, this being by far the highest price ever paid on our market for the yield from one acre? Do you know that the highest average ever made by a Winston warehouse on a day's sale was made by Gorrells, the average being $23.06 ? We mention these facts merely to prove to you that the GOR RELLS SELL IT HIGHER. Now as for the coming year. We know it is going to take harder work than ever to sell this crop. The to bacco trade is not in as good condition as we had hoped it to be. Therefore, it is imperative on your part to sell with men who have been selling Stokes tobacco for years. Our experience is worth something to you. We have been selling Stokes tobacco so long that we know it as few others do. We trust you will bring us your first load, and we feel sure we will get you prices that cannot be touched by any other house. We will have a first sale every day after Oct. Ist--and you won't have to wait until late in the day to sell. Come to see us. We will expect you. Your friends, THE QORRELL BOYS.

Those in North Carolina who stood for independence were not illiterates, but were kings. But in the sixties, when the fathers were away, making an e fTort to send the Yankees about their business, through the reconstruc tion years, the children were neglected. No schools, no train ing, nothing at. al! but work raising cotton and tobacco. They have grown up some nf them old men with children who don't know the- A-B-("s. Hut the time has com. " to get away from all this, if they will grasp the op portunity and hold on. Of course some of the younger ones look up on the school as a joke.

BY FRED TATK. Ashes have as many lives as the proverbial cat. When they are taken out of the stove they may look as if there was no fire in them, but all it takes to fan them into life and make them a dangerous and living thing is air with sufficient velocity and that is usually on hand to do the job. There is just one safe way to take care of ashes, and that is to put them into a tiuht metal re ceptacle, and when it is full carry them out away from valuable property and empty them. It is a practice for people to carry out their ashert and empty ihein up against buildings sir. ! fences in the bad; yards at.i :iil« vs. and there has been thou- .md-; • iol -I'if's wort aut vu. 1 property destroyed by this .-airless prac tice.

"I am an old man and much afraid of pneumonia. How can I avoid the disease this winter?" Reply: Pneumonia is a germ disease and is usually brought on by the lolgment of the pneu mococcus gr-rms in the mem branous 1 issues of the throat or lungs. Ia persons is well and strong tin ; e germs are not likely to hurt i-i'ii seriously. A slight cold ir.a vb ■ the result.

But bad air is, of all bad in fluences, perhaps the most im ; portant in its effect on colds and pneumonia.
