The officers will be elected Thursday morning. The veterans began arriving in Winston-Salem today. Com mittees appointed by the local camp of sons of veterans and the U. D. C. met the heroes and are seeing to it that their stay here is an enjoyable one. Although no decision been reached and will not be reached be fore the session Thursday, it is not improbable that this will be the last state reunion. The lines are growing thinner svery year and many of the veterans who have tak en active part in these get-togethers are feeble and it may be decided 10 discontinue the annual reunions. However, th e proposal may find, op position when it is brought up for discussion. The oldest veteran here for the gathering is Rev. Stanley May, of Yadkin county. He is more than 95 years of age. There are a number of delegates who have passed the age of 90. ONE MAN INJURED WHEN CAR SKIDDED Driving On Highway '-K> North of State Road During Rains Of the Week-Knd Two gentlemen from Mount Airy, Messrs. Wall and Beamer, came near' being involved in a serious accident last Saturday when the car in which they were riding skidded on the wet highway north of State Road. The car became unmanageable and left the road, turning side-wise and stopping with the rear end against a telephone pole. Consider able damage was done to the rear of the car, but the bumpers proved to be a great protection. Mr. Wall suffered a wrenched back, but it is not thought to be of a erious nature, and after a few hours spent in Elkin the gentlemen returned to the Granite City. Mr. Beamer escaped uninjured, and drove the car 011 the return journey to their homes.

Kpli Whisenhunt, Pastor of Baptist Cliurrh, On Sunday Evening. While even the closest friends of Hon. J. W. Bailey were unaware of hio presence in the city, the Demo cratic candidate for the United States Senate quietly and unassum ingly took his seat in the congrega tion of the Frist Baptist church and heard the splendid sermon de livered by the pastor, Rev. Eph Whisenhunt, Sunday evening. Re turning to his hotel, he spent the night and quietly mad e his way to Sparta on Monday, where he was scheduled to deliver an address. His 'speaking tour called for a speech Jefferson on Tues day, aud at Elkin last night, where he addressed the citizens of Elkin. In view of the fact that The Tri bune went to press early in order to reach the rural sections with the announcement of the farmers' cele bration and program, it was impos sible to get Mr. Bailey's speech in time for publication this week.
