Lawsonville School
Building- Struck By
Lightning-, Burns

During the thunderstorm ofj
Sunday afternoon lightning
struck the beautiful high school
building at Lawsonville and set
it on fire. Before the community
was hardly aware of it, the
fire had gained such headway
that it was beyond control, and
the structure went up in smoke
and flames. Many Danbury
people, learning of the fire by
telephone from Nelson's funeral
home, witnessed the conflagra
tion.
It is learned that the county
carried $15,000 insurance, and
that the building will be replaced
in time for the fall school open

BIG REPUBLICAN
CONVENTION
NOW IN FULL SWING AT
CLEVELAND LAN DON
SURE TO BE NOMINATED
FOR PRESIDENT.
Convention Hall, Cleveland,
June 10. With a platform
drafted at last, and huge blocs
of delegate votes tumbling for
Landon, the Republican national
tonight devoted an
hour to an old-time welcome to
Herbert Hoover.
The former President stirred
the conclave into its first pro
longed demonstration tonight
when he stepped before it to as
sail the new deal as a "muddle"
and demand that it be ousted by
a "holy crusade for liberty."
Behind the tumultuous scene
that Hoover faced the final
course of the convention itself
rapidly wa s shaped. One after
another, the lion's share of the
huge New York and Pennsylvania
delegate blocs were thrown to
Governor Landon. Kansas leaders
loudly proclaimed that that set
tled it.
Even as Hoover talked and the
delegates paraded in his honor
a weary platform subcommittee
put the final period on its report.
Later tj v Ji full committee was
called to work on into the night
toward final approval.
Harmony Is Likely
From the subcommittee's draft,
it appeared some degree of har
mony had been attained betwecr
the Landonites and Idaho's lion.
Senator Borah. Borah's followers
were pleased at a decision to
declare for "sound money," ar.J
make no mention whatever of
the gold standard. They also
liked a subcommittee no world
court declaration, reversing a
Republican tenet of many years.
It was revealed that a mono
poly plank had been adopted
which Borah had not even seen,
although he himself was working
on one. The result of that re
mained to be seen.
The appearance of Hoover
touched off the first prolonged
demonstration of the convention.
As he stepped onto the platform,
wearing his usual high collar and
a conservative dark gray suit
the delegates let loose a 15-
minute period of shouting and
parading. For the first time th.
state standards were seized an-,
carried around the huge hall.
Again when he finished, th'
delegates got out of hand. For 3F
minutes they jammed the aislw
and filled the hall with some
shouts of "we want Hoover,'
and all sorts of side antics. But
the former President had left
almost as soon as his last word
was spoken and boarded a train
for New York.
Chairman Snell adjourned the
session at 10:08 p. m., eastern
standard time, until 11 a. m. to
morrow, when the convention
chieftains tackle thi
platform problem.
The swing of the mammotl.
eastern delegations caused such

1400 STOKES
FARMERS SIGN
THIS MEANS GOOD MONEY
IS COMING TO STOKES
FARMERS NEW RULING
ABOUT LESPEDEZA 01.
CLOVER IN WHEAT
To Stokes farmers:
An extension in the time in
which to make and sign work
sheets for cooperation in the
Soil Conservation Program ha 1 -
been ordered by the Washington
office. Just how long the sign-up
period will remain open has not
been announced, but those who
wish to qualify for cooperation
in this program will find it
necessary to act quickly as the
period for checking farms foi
compliances is near at hand.
Stoke* Has Creditable Sign-Up
More than 1400 Stokes farmers
have made and filed work sheet?
for cooperation in this new plan.
This means that a considerable
portion of the four hundred anc!
some odd million dollars appro
priated for making grants undei
the Soil Conservation program
will come to Stokes farmers.
There are farmers scattered here
and there who have planted less
than their base acreage of to
bacco, have not increased their
base acreage in soil depleting
crops and have planted soil con
serving crops on their farms
who would be able to qualify for
grants or payments on the farrr. j
operation in 1936 without any'
extra trouble or work provided
these would sign work sheets.
The payments as a rule will run
from $30.03 to $300.00 per fari.i
with some running higher.
Of course where a man either
has over planted his tobacco base,
has not planted any soil-con
serving crops, or realizes that a
survey of his crop would prove
that his old tobacco base was
too large, it will not pay him to
sign a work sheet. But there arc
very few people in this class ir.
Stokes. There aer hundreds of
people who can easily qualify
without extra expense or work
and without making any change
in their farm plan s this year for
payments ranging from fifty to
one hundred and fifty dollais
each.
A New Ruling
A ruling regarding lespedeza
or clover in wheat, announced
recently by the secretary of Agri
eulture, Mr. Wallace, will be
favorably received here. It is
about as follows: Where a
legume crop such as lespedezT
or clover is interplanted with
wheat or where wheat is follow
ed immediately by a legume
crop such as cowpcas or soy
beans, the acreage so planted
will be counted as soil depleting,
but also one-half the acreage
may be counted as soil con
serving. In other words, Mr. A
has ten acres in wheat on which
he seeded lespedeza in the
spring. This will be counted ten
acres in a soil-depleting crop and
may also be counted this year
as five acres in a soil-conserving

BAILEY BUYS
COUNTY BONDS
QUITE A SAVING TO STOKES
TAX-PAYERS BY THE AC
QUISITION AND RETIRE-'
MENT OF OUTSTANDING
OBLIGATIONS • PRICK
PAID WAS $96.20.
B. P. Bailey. auditor and
financial agent for the county,
Monday purchased §23,000 jf
Stokes county bonds held by a |
Southern bond dealer, who of-
I
ered the obligations at $96.20.
These bonds which mature in
1937-'39-'4O-'42, would have been :
rayable then at par of SIOO an J
iccrued interest.
Mr. Bailey considered that iii- ■
ismuch as the county had the
.noney in the bank with no
I
special use for it, it would be a
profitable deal to take the obli
!
gations in and retire them.
The saving to the county un
der this anticipation of interest
and principal, will be $6,843.58. '
