HENDREN IS SPEAKER AT MEET OF WOMAN'S CLUB At the invitation of the Cit izenship Department, Woman's Club, Mr. W. N. Hendren, prom inent attorney of Winston-Salem addressed the entire club Tues day afternon at its regular meet ing ill the Hotel Elkin. His talk dealt with the subject of equal nufferage. He cleverly portrayed the ills to which a man is sub jected in his duty as a citizen and voiced Ihe* warning that women would eventually fall heir to these unpleasant matters as well as the inheritance of par ticipating in political affairs. The speaker said that the fran chise was both the priviledge and an obligation and expressed the hope that the entrance of wo men into politics would ultimate ly bring about better conditions. The privilege of using the bal acceptance but each electioln lot has naturally been slow in shows an increase in the number of women exercising this privi lege the speaker said. Mr. Henderen quoted a former president as Baying that women were too logical in politics, see ing the need for a thing was its own reason for reaching that goal In spite of obstacles. This, and. the fact that th*y treat pol itics as a science rather than as a game, give promise that the prophecy of women "purifying pontic*," a phrase coined by a man not by a woman, he pointed out. may become an actuality. He urged his hearer* to treat the pri vilege of the ballot as their right to bring about better conditions, for the . entire country. Mrs, Pyron, president of the club, presided over the business meeting preceding Mr. Hend ren's address and also introduc ed the speaker. An added feature of the progarm was a vocal solo by Mrs. E. G. Click, sung In her usual pleasing manner.

COUNTY DADS TO ISSUE NO MORE BONDS AT PRESENT TURN DOWN PROPOSITION' TO FLOAT LOAN OF $74,000 TO BUILD SCHOOLS VOTE IS 3 TO 2 Suitiers and Pell on Record Unfavorable to Any More Debt s at Present Time No more bonds will be issued against Surry County at the pre sent time for any purpose, it was derided at a special meeting of the county commissioners held at Dobson last Friday. The vote was three to two. Commissioner 'j. A. Somers of this city and Commissioner J. A. Tell of Pilot Mountain, voting against the Ibond isue while the chairman of the'hoard, W. E. Lindsay, of Mt. Airy voted for the bond issue. The vote came about as the re sult of the proposed bond issue of $74,00 Q. to build school build ings at three points, especially in the northern part of the coun or three more. ty and to build additions to two The debate was a warm rela tive to the proposed issue and the commissioner were besieged by persons of both the bond is sue and antPissue camps but a preponderance of Surry taxpay ers presented the fact that they are already heavily loaded with taxation and any additioins would make the taxes unbear able. Both Mr. Somers and Mr. Pell agreed with the anti-issue forces although Mr. Lindsay stood strongly against them and made the following statement in which he attempts to justify bis stand: "I was favorable to the bond issue for several reasons, but two iti particular. First, I am very much in favor of all people being educated. Second that I am very scrupulous as to seeing the fair thing done in all communities of the county. To deny these com munities th« advantages of a modern brick school house with all the equipment and force these communities to submit to wood en buildings that are fire traps is, to my opinion, very unfair to them inasmuch as they help pay the taxes to build the other school houses In other communi ties. Thfy are paying the same rate of tax the other people, are paying and at the same time are denied the privilege of a decent school room." The complete minutes of the special meeting in regard to the bond issue is as follows: At a continued meeting ot the ' Board of County Commissioners I of Surry County held at Dobson, on the 11th day of April, 1930 the following members were pre- C sent, the same being a quorum of said Hoard: Messrs.

Elkin's Industrial Payroll Reaches $17,000 per Week 1200 are Now Employed COURT MOVIE SHOWS HOW MAN GOT SIX MONTHS ON ROADS FOR BEATING UP GIRL COMPANION Tuesday's session of Recorders court took up Just about thirteen minutes of time but a man was sentenced to the roads, for six month for an assault on a fe male while the judgement of the court was continued for ( two years on charges of drunk and disorderly conduct. The man in question who drew the heavy fine was Dixie Walls and the girl whom he beat up was Zep hyr Smith. A movie scenario might pic ture the court proceedings thus: Court and attaches and the usual number of fans assemble at the usual hour of 9 a. m. at the Masonic hall where the court is held but they are held up at the head of the stairs because the room has not yet been unlocked and a boy crawls on the roof ad joining, crawls in a window into the court room and unlocks the door whereupon the court and attaches find their usual places and the fans scamper for the best Seats. Cheif Church enters with his prisoner, the court says "Open court, Mr. Sheriff," whereupon Chief of Police Church cries, "Oyez, oyeE, oye?, His Honor the court is now open for the trans action of business, God save the ■State and His Honor, the court." "Call your first case," says Judge Barker and Solictor W. M. Allen calls Dixie Walls to the bar and It seems that the war rant is not in hand but in the possession of Night Policeman Wiley Lewis. Solictor Allen asks the prisoner if he will waive the warrant and the prisoner tries to tell the court about the case and agrees he is Kuilty of "smacking the womern" but nothing else. Any way all the charges are to he tried and Solicitor Allen calls Miss Clee Norman to the stand. Miss Norman tells the court that Walls was drinking some thing. she didn't know what, on thp way from Winston-Salem to Elkin but the prisoner, who acts as his own lawyer, prompts her on cross questioning; and she ad mits he threw the "whiskey stuff in a woods" on the way up In Forsyth county. That throws the charge against him on trans porting. She tells the court that Walls struck the female in question however as .she steps down and R. *}. Brooks, of Alleghaney, one of the "brave knights" who at tempted to rescue the "fair maid en,, two weeks ago is called. Last week_ Solictor Allen drew the lad out at length on his chiv alrous attempts and asked him if he belonged to "The Knights of the Round Table" "No I live sight up there where it's at though," responded the boy who admitted he always carried a revolver at his side and said most mountain men did. Brooks told of the girl with blood on her face and body and how he came DECATUR GENTRY HELD AT WINSTON Word was received in Elkin Wednesday evening that Decatur Gentry wanted here for violating the Prohibition law, had ,been arrested at Winaton-Salem and was being held for local officers. It will be recalled that Gen try's home five miles northeast of here was raided several weeks ago and seventy five gallons of liquor found in an out building. Gentry, on seeing that the offi cers had located his cache, fled in an' automobile and was given chase for several miles and he abandoned his car near the Greenwood filling station on the Dobson road and fled into a woods nearby. He had been at large since then. up along side the car in which she was riding with Walls, J. V. West the Smith girl and the Nor man girl, put a gun at them and stopped the fracus and. for his part paid a $50.00 fine. The state is finished with him and he is turned over to Walls for cross-questioning. that bad guy that snatched a gun on me haint ye?" says walls whereupon Brooks says "Call me anything you want to,"."Well II haint got nothing to ask such a guy." So ended his questioning. "That's the case ofthe state," says Solictor Allen. Walls wants a~chardcter witness and he calls upon M. Q. Snow. Mr. Snow is not in the court room, so Officer Lewis raises a window and shouts, "M. Q. Snow. M. Q. Snow come into court." and like magic in an instant Mr. Snow appears. The only question ask him was whether the defendant had a re putation for bootlegging and Mr. Snow gave him a good charcter. The court is over save for the court's sentence. A silence of a-! bout half a minute is broken and Judge Barker tells the clerk,j Itobey Bates to take the sentence.] The Judge says, "I don't know who the woman was and it does-| n't make any difference, tbfe law protects any female just the fcame as any man's wife. You are to be confined in the common jail of Surry county for a period of six months to be worked on the roads of the county or any other county. That is the sen tence for an assault on a female. Let the judgment of the court be suspended for two years on the other two charges." Walls looks with amazement at the court and says, "Your honor, thats too stiff, make it three months and I'll accept it." "That's too light, we can't have people driving up and down the highways beating dp women and being d.'unk," says the court. "Your honor. I appeal the case says Walls. "Very well," says the court, "let the appeal bond t be set at $500.00, adjourn court Mr. Sheriff." whereupon Chief Church again arises and shouts. "Oyez, oyez, oyez, this court stands adjournment until next Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock, God save the Stae and His Hon or the Court." And so the fans put on their hats and go down the streets to seek further ex citement. Judge Barker ordered the piqllce to arrest Sam v Ha'rrls,! Peg Mcßride, T. F. Walls. T. S. Whlt ajter, Lon HamTiy, Wirt Finney, Jane Hurt. Agnes Hurt, Bb Sprinkle and Curtis Burch, be cause they had failed to pay old fines, at the same time telling the police that fines must' be paid frtthin thirty days In all cases and see ti it they were paid or send those who failed to pay to the roads of the county. WIMJAM HAI.VKM IX \KW TALKIK rOMKJJY Opening at Lyric theatre Eas ter Sunday night exactly one minute after 12 o'clock and run ning the regular hours Monday and Tuesday. "The Girl No," an all talking humorous carer of a boy fresh from college, who gets his initaJ introduction to the busi ness yorld in the offices of H Wall Street brokerage rirm. To those who are at all familiar with the biography of Mr. Haines, there is a noticeable similarity between the outline of this plot and the actual circumstances of its star's own post-college life. There is the inevitable awakening to the disillusionment of cold business facts; the awkward bungling in putting over financial deals; the post collegiate wise-cracking; the romance with the boss' secre tary, and other amusing inci dent which Mr. Haines will probably be quite wiling to ad-1 * PUBLISHED WEEKLY SIHVKY FIGURES .SHOW AMOUNTS PAID WKKKIA' 20% URKATKR THAN J THIS TIME I-AST YKAR i BUSINESS PICKS UP HOO People Now Working At *hathain I'lunt and Over 200 In Furniture Concerns 1 With a general pick-up in bus iness conditions, Klkin industries are now using the bigest payroll in the history of the town. It was revealed after a survey made at the local plants and bans this week. A payroll of between $17,000 now by Elkin plants to workers who number aproximately 1200. and SIB,OOO weekly is paid out This is approximately an 18% increase In both payrolls aud em ployees over the same season of the year in 1929. At the Chatham plant alone 800 persons are now working daily in the day and night shifts and over 200 are employed in the furniture plants of the city. Although tbe stock market slump of last November which paralyzed business aud made money stagnant everywhere, is believed to liave passed its crest and better business conditions are looked forward to. In the face of the encouraging news of the survey of the local industries and the almost 20% increase of persons working and wages paid Rlkiri now leads this section of jthe state as a poultry shipping point* and some $5,000 was paid farmers last week for poultry lliere. Many new homes sre being built in tbe community and in Jonesville with man/ more con templated and there is every rea son to believe that this year will be one of the banner ones in the history, of the town.
