The* Reporter man attended a n Allison-James-for-Congress rally in Winston-Salem Monday sight, which was one of the largest and most enthusiastic political gatherings we have seen in the campaign. More than a thousand persons crowded the \ James headquarters on Liberty street, the band played patriotic airs and men and women stood up and shouted their acclaim for. Foray 4 h county's candidate for Congress. The testimonials givt.j by men and women as to the character and ability of this splendid citizen were indeed touching. His courtesy, his gentleness, his sincerity, his honesty, his unvarying loyalty to hia friends, his loyalty to North Carolina, his friendliness to the poorer classes during his long experience as a druggist in Winston-Salem, his service to his friends during his stay in Wash ington, his service to the Demo cratic party during his career which embraced legislative ex perience at Raleigh—all these tributes spoken by enthusiastic admirers made the meeting seem like a love-feast. Allison James will carry an enormous vote in Winston-Salem. We hear it estimated as high as Fifth district, including Stokes, be will win large support. WHO IS ALLISON JAMES? Allison James was educated at' Davidson College, N. C., and ; Page School of Pharmacy, i * I Greensboro, N. C.- Passed the state board of pharmacy in June, 1909.

Director Jim Rivers, of the Sixth W. P. A. District, in which ' Stokes County is located, an ! | nounced today that this county had during the W. P. A. program received a total ol 530.185.26 in Federal funds. This money has already been spent, or is now being used to carry on projects in the county to give work to un-! I employed. Under the present pro gram W. P.

Women's Work received a greater portion of the W. P. A. j funds in Stokes county, over $9,000.00 being allotted for this work. Road Construction received over $7,000.00 in Federal funds.

Gcod crowds have turned out at each of the special meetings held so far fo r the discussion ol *he Soil Conservation Program. Too, the mailing and signing of work sheets following these meetings is moving forward at a very encouraging rate. The in dications arc that Stokes farmers will cooperate in this program in the same splendid way that they did under the AAA. The rush of farm work dur ing the past few weeks gave the program a slow start here, al though there has been much in terest in this work all of the while. An interesting thing in connection with the present cam paign to get the sign-up is that practically every farmer whom you come in contact with states that it is his intention to reduce to seventy per cent, of his tobac co base or less. These men are out spoken in their loyalty to the plan and they have the faith to believe that under this program the tobacco farmer farmers can I largely control the production to | where z. fair price may be ex pected. One man was advised that since he had a base acreage of only 1.7 acres that he would hardly be expected to reduce any. His reply to this was: "Yea. but I am a man who tries to stand by my neighbor's. My neigh bors are reducing to seventy pe; 'cent, and I expect to stand by them." Get Work Sheets In Before June Ist 1 This sign-up campaign closes on May 3lst. All farmers who j wis h to do so should make and sign their work sheets before June Ist as this date has been announced from Raleigh as the closing date mor making work sheets. Far m owners or operators can call upon their committee men or come to the office of the County Agent in Danbury and sign their work sheets at any time before this closing da',?. Any farmer who may wish ; to apply for any grants or pay : ments under this program this year either for reducing tobaccj acreage or planting conserving :o r improvement crops will have to show that he has made a work sheet. Many farmers may find it to their interest to apply for i these grants before the end of J the year and to be in position to qualify for these everyone should make a work sheet now.

Forrest MAX GARDNER REBUKES GRAHAM SAYS CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR HAS NO RIGHT TO SACRIFICE A FRIEND OR COMPROMISE THE TRUTH Washington, May 11. For mer Governor O. Max Gardner tonight tossed his name into :h-.* pandora box of the contest over the North Carolina governorship by striking at Lieutenant Gover or A. H. (Sandy) Graham, one of the candidates in the four cornered contest for the Demo cratic nomination. Saying that Graham "has no right to sacrifice a friend or com promise the truth." Gardners formal statement reads: "Sandy Graham undoubtedly thinks it is good politics or good prejudice to assail me at th:'s time. He has not always thought so. He knows that I have always been his friend and I have al ways thought he was mine. The statement he is reported to have made over the raiiH last Friday night that I "run North Carolina from Washington over the long-distance telephone' was not only a blow below the belt; it was also without th_> shadow of foundation in fact. "I have been out of the offict of governor nearly four years Since my term expired I have never talked with Governor Eh ringhaus at any time about his! politics, appointments or a.i ministration. I have never mailt 1 a recommendation of my charac ter to Governor Ehringhaus. I have visited Raleigh only five times since 1933 and have never opposed, advocated or suggested a legislative policy, nr com municated with a member of »'vj General Assembly. I have never, ! attempted, diiwtly or indirectly' ♦o take part in the administration of any institution or department i of the state. "When I cane to Washington I divested myself of all personal | political ambition. I resigned | Number 3,342 from every politic;:! office and party recognition th;»t had come to me except membership 011 the board of trustees of the uni- I versitv. I have declined throe ap pointments to me by President Roosevc-lt. "I do not feel that it is .either just ' - fair Ol Lieutenant Governor Graham to undertake . to prejudice the people of North Carolina against Clyde Hoey by , the abortive charge that I am I . running or expect to run North Carolina from Washington or any other place. The character, party . record and life-long integrity of Clyde Hoey entitles him to a , fair trial on his own merit with out the collateral and unwar . ranted assault from th e lieuten ant governor. "I served the state fo the ut- II most of my ability for more . than twenty years and I respect fully submit that there is no . basis en the charge that I now seek to become dictator of the ! stat e which has honored me in I po many ways for which I ( entertain the same exalted devo , tio.n that a son should feel for ( his mother. • ; "Fandy Graham has a perfect . «? h t—a democratic right—to , run for the high officce of j governor and to win if he can, , but in doing so he has no right ,to sacrifice a friend or compro ,, mise :h t . truth," i Homer Mahr I^ciio*ed j Homer young son of Leff or d ,|>'">e. was arretted Saturday tni.-ht near t'. t .
