Danbury. N. C., Thursday, July 30, 1936 Millionaires Fighting The President —Don't Bank Heavily On The Straw Polls The string of 27 great Hearst newspapers in the leading cities of the United States are b'tter ]y fighting President Roosevelt and the New Deal. Hearst is computed to be worth more than 100 million dollars. Like practically all other multi-millionaires Hearst is the uncompromis ing foe of the man who takes from those who have, that those who do not have may live. The Liberty League comprises a large group of the wealthiest men in the country. Every one of them is fighting Roosevelt. On the other hand, the friends of Roosevelt are among the laboring classes, the farmers, the clerks, the small business men and traders, and uncounted thousands of poor people, men and women, who have been saved from starvation by the President. The straw votes are indicating that the President will lose in the fall election. Do you believe in straw votes? A few days—three in fact —after the "poll"' sponsored by all of the leading Old Guard news papers in the country had "revealed" that Gov Alf M. Landon would carry Oklahoma, the As sociated Press announced that the total vote cast for the various candidates for the nomina tion for United States Senator, the head of the ticket, in the Oklahoma primary was Democrat ic 500,000, Republican 65,000. The straw vote conducted by the North Carolina newspapers revealed that McDonald j would carry North Carolina almost two to one over his opponents. The true vote showed al-! most the opposite. Don't count too heavily on straw polls. , It's An 111 Wind That Blows No Good The routing of the new hardsurface road outside the town of King, but adjacent to its regular main street, may after all be a blessing in disguise, as many blessings do come. Looked at from the standpoint of the town's general and future good, and not at the damaged interests of a few present property owners, the situation for King may after all be roseate instead of gloomy. Our King correspondent evidently takes this view this week as he visualizes a new and greater King with the advent of Broad street and the possibilities ahead along this new thor oughfare. Adversity often is needed to spur us on to accomplishments we dreamed not of, and we predict that with a smoother and finer asphalt pavement through their town, and with the greater opportunities coming from an enlarged and more prosperous commun'ty in general, King main street citizens will be compensated handsomely. This is one town that suffered little from the depression, hut kept steadily building and progressing, and it deserves a fine future. Trip to Virginia Mi-, and Mrs. N. E. Pepper and Josephine visited Rc-v. S. S. Oliver and family at Roanoke, Va., Sunday. Mrs. Oliver was formerly Miss Mamie E. Pepper. The Olivers were found all in good health. Mr. Oliver has recently retired from active ministry but sometimes "supplies*' for a neighbor pastor, Presbyterian. On the return, the trip was made back by way of Christiansburor, Floyd and Stuart—a beautiful country. The crops were mostly fine, showing effects of drouth in some places, . Especially at Christiansburg. There a stop was made and a visit paid to J. W. Pepper and sister, Mfes Minnie Pepper. These are son and daugh- the late Dr. W. Reade Pepper, who was a N° 3n/o£> Dr. John Pepper one of the original set * JS> A* THE DANBURY REPORTER tiers of Stokes county, who died at Danbury in the year 1880. J. W. Pepper fell a few years ago, breaking his hip, and has since been an invalid. He lived in Danbury and was engaged in the mercantile business some 40 years ago. He is now aged 73. Miss Minnie is also an invalid, and is advanced in years. County Home As far as we are able to determine, the county home under the management of Superin tendent Loftis has never been more efficiently conducted. The house is clean and sanitary, the grounds are well kept and inviting in appearance, there is an abundance of fresh vegetables and poultr? for the maintenance of & satisfied household, and a general appearance of thrift, industry and progressiveness. Loftis takes a personal pride in his manage ment of this branch of the county's welfare work, and is entitled to be encouraged in his efforts. KIRBY (Continued from Page 1) This is one of the largest gat he.'-; ings of young people held in the state during the year and af- ! fords a fine opportunity for recreation, entertainment, and training for leadership. It is to be hoped that this county will ba represented by a much largsr group next year, as it has been in the past. I Government Rat Bait Available Rats cause great annual dam age in the loss of feeds and food stuffs on nearly every farm and in every town. For years U. S.j i Department of Agriculture ex perts have been working an ways and materials to use in reducing this annual loss. The best material so far found for this work is the Red Squill rat bait which is prepared under the supervision of the government. Small quantities of this bait is dstributed at cost by cotfnty agents for demonstrations in rat killing campaigns. In some towns thousands of rats have been kill ed in a single campaign. Red Squill is not a dangerous poison. It does not kill dogs, cats, or chickens, but it does cause rats to crawl off and die. Each package contains three sealed cans; one mixed with fish; one with hamburger sausage: and another with oatmeal. It sells for fifty cents a package, and Qne package is more than sufficient to clean up the rats on a farm premises, in a store, or warehouse. Community or cooperative action is important in rat-killing campaigns. If one man puts out the bait, any rats not killed are likely to leave and go to the neighbors premises. Persons interested in this work should call upon the county agent and get th e details. Checking Farms for Compliance Delayed The work of getting super visors started in checking farrra fo r compliance in the soil con servation program have been delayed by failure to get necess ary forms for this work. The present indications are that thia work will be started in the next week or just as soon thereafter at the necessary materials are available. Sudan Gram and Rye May Be Seeded ' Farmers who need more Soil I i . : J conserving crops acreage to qualify for the payments in the Soil Conservation program are now permitted to seed either sudawi grass or rye to be left on the land for soil improvement, will be of interest to those who were unable to secure cowpeas and soybeans with which to seed the necessary acreage to qualify for the payments. With this liberal ruling, anyone who wish es to do so may meet the condi | tions and get their full govern i ment grants. S. J. KIRBY, County Agent. Death Of S. M. Inman At Mt. Airy S. M.
