Reminiscent. ✓
Ben Adkins, who holds a govern,
ment position in Washington, D. C.,
was a visitor here today for the
first time in 25 years when he ac
companied a large posse of revenue
officers on a raid into Smithtown,
10 miles north of Danbury, when
Walter Hendricks wu» killed by ono
of the blockaders in that section.
The shooting liecame so severe be
tween the officers and blockade's
•that the former were eonvpelled to
% f retire. A number of men were ar_
rested later and one or two wero |
•tried for killing officer Ilendrix but j
the government was never able to
convict anyone of the crime. That ■
" was in those days when blockade j
■distilleries were not found in every
locality almost as they are today.
Smithtown at that time had a repu
tation of having more blockaders'
■than any section of the country prob. j
ably. Now, it Is probable that more
'blockading Is going on In any other
I section of Stokes than •In Smith
town.
In this connection a joke, is re. ;
called as told on a couple of the
Smithtown distillers. The still slop 1
which was then mnde of corn meal j
instead of sugur was fed to the hogs
and cattle, and was very beneficial j
dn adding weight. Two of the oper.
ators of a plant had a large steer ,
which they wanted to sell. It was
stated that the steer could drink H
full barrel of slop at one time. So
on the day they started with the
steer to market they carried along!
a full barrel of the slop, expecting |
to let the steer drink it just before
r reaching market. When almost there
the. slop was offered to the steer but
i/* .he refused to drink a drop of it.
yr-y Fid Taylor was in Winston-Salem
j. Wednesday-
Three Winnton-Salem men, Sam
Belton, Buck Reavis and Marvin
Phillips, after being held in Stokes
jail ten day#, have just been allow
ed 10 pay the cost and go home, on
the authority of Justice J. B. Joyce.
The men were charged with assault
ing an officer, Constable Henry Dun
lap, when they took his pistol awav
from him and one of them shot at
him. It wag not learned just how
the compromise was effected. The
men were to have had a hearing
Thursday.
In the Register's office at the
Stokes court house Sunday morning
occurred the marriage of W. E.
Huffman, of Walnut Cove Roue 8,
and Miss Martha E. Collin*, of Wal
nut Cove. The ceremony was per.
formed by Justice Jas. B. Joyce. The
ages of the participant." were 24 and
28, respectively.
Attorney and Mrs. S. G. iSpargor
were visitors to Walnut Cove today-
Mr. Sparger is one of the Democratic
candidate for the State Senate.
Stokes Couples
Marry In Virginia
6tokes county is now Issuing only
a few marriage licenses. A major,
iity of the couples go to Stuart or
Martinsville, Va„ to wed. £or ins.
tance, during the past few days the
following named couples have gone
to Stuart to get nuarriage licenses:
Homer S. Shelton, of Moore's
Tsprings, and Miss Daisy H. Mickey,
• of Yadkin township; W. T. Hoyden
! und Miss Nellie Sams, both of King;
! Harley R. Hopkins and Miss Annice
I'. Clark, of Lawsonville.
' Couples from, other sections are
■ also going out of North Carolina
i into Virginia to get license to marry,
j Note: Itobt. F. Soots and Cleo Byrd,
Uoth of Winston-Salem; Willie It.
Stephenson and Harriett Molay
Smoke, both of Winston-Salem;
Joseph H. Owens, of Westfield, and
Ralda M. Cain, of Pilot Mountain;
Samuel It. Smith und Katie R. John.'
son, both of Mayodan: Charlie 11. 1
Love and X. Louise Hollimun, both
of Winston-Salem.
It might be appropriate to note,
right here that Stokes county has
a candidate for the lower house of (
thy next (legislature —Mr. E. Carr j
Gann—who proposes to use his best
efforts to have the law repealed'
which requires that couples propos- j
ing wedlock shall undergo a physical;
examination before obtaining a car
riage license. It Is not that they j
can't pass the examination, Mr. |
Gann says, but they had just rather j
go where it is rfot required and they j
are doing it every day with the re.
suit that North Curollna is losing l
the fees.
Stuart Fixing
To Play Ball
It has just been learned here from
prominent citizens of Stuart, Va.,
| Patrick county, that the base ball
! team there expects to put itself on
' the nuap this season, and a call for
the players to assemble in Stuart on
| April 20th has already been issued.
I The Patrick team Is known as The
Camels, named after the famous
Camel cigarettes made in Winston.
Salem, whose makers are natives o"
■ Patrick county. Last year the Stua: t
' team made a most excellent show
ing, but this year everything points
•to an even better season. Recently
I the team received a very liberal do
j nation from Mr. W. N. Reynolds, of
Winston-Salem, showing that he still
| has an Interest jn the county of his |
ancestors. With this incentive, well
! may Martinsville, Fleldale, Rocky
Mount, Iteldsville, Madison and other
| towns watch -Stuart during the com.
' ing ball season. They ure going fo
! play ball.

Card From E.W. Carroll
Danbury, N. C., April 13, 1932.
Editor Danbury Reporter,
Danbury, North Carolina.
Dear sir:—
in your issue of April 6th, yo.i
published the following article:
"E. W. Carroll, of German,
ton, was bere trie week. H- is
a candidate for the lower hou.'P
of the general assembly on the
Democratic ticket It is under
stood that Mr. CH'tul'i chief
platform plank is f.-r consoliiia.
tion of Stokes am. Forsyth.''
it appears to me tV'ot j*ou are tak
ing a lot of privilege in telling t!ie
people what my platform is with-i'.;(
consulting nie. I.ook at your files
and see what my announcement said
regarding my platform, and bine
! you have put me in a false light be.
, for® the people 1 thlr.k you should
| publish it again. Where (lid you get
, this information? And why publish
lit without consulting m(7 I call !t
. a raw deal. And if yo.i want tt i >
the right thing you will correct it.
j Personally I favor consolidation. An 1
j every man in the county is either
for or against It. One faction or
J the other will represent this county
j in the next Legislature, and no mat
j ter which if he (or she) be honest
j and endeavor to do the wishes of
the people. If I should be elected
1 and the question of consolidation
| should come up (which there should
be no need until Forsyth says they
want it) I would try to ascertain the
wishes of the majority of the peple,'
and should It show that a majority
favored consolidation, I would try 'o
put it over—submitting it to un elec
tion. Should th«j majority be oppos
ed to it I would tight to defeat it.
Now since you have been generous
enough to give the public a platform
formulated by my enemies, I think
you should put me in the right light.
Very likely 1 will have a further slut-?,
ment to make later.
Very truly yours,
E. W. CAIIROLL
