This however ha- been denied by one of the leading men of Bl?-\vir.g Rock. As w said before Mr. Walts, was a man of' nne sense and much liked by all who knew him, and bad a comfortable little sum in ca>h and reaity. Tie Democrat always claimed him as one of its good friends, and we hope this explanation will be satisfactory to the offended son. AN HONORED CITIZEN PASSES Dr. Jordan B. Phillips of Sugar Grove, N2 years of age, died at his home last Sunday after a rather protracted illness. He had been ir. declining health for a long time and had been confined t<- his home for a year or more. Dr. Phillips served the Confederacy during the war between the states and never reached home for sometime after the surrender, being held a prisoner at Point Lookout, on the Chesapeake in Maryland, and possibly but few soldiers ever made a better war record than he. After his icbuiu iic?in cue war ne cuok up tne study of medicine under the late Dr. W. B. Council], and after he had completed his course he "hung out his shingle" at or near the old home where he died. He was quite a successful practitioner and his professional services were in demand over a large part of the county. For a number of years he was associated with T. J. Coffey & Brother, in the mercantile business at Sugar Grove. He was a very active man and through cold and heat, rain and snow, night and day he went on his missions of mercy, working his life away, making no difference whether his patient was abie or unable to pay his bill, it was just the same to Dr. Phillips, and one of the last talks we ever had with him he told us that he had many thousands of dollars on his books for medical services that he never hoped to collect. He was a man of fine native ability, a true gentleman of! the old school, and very popular with! all who knew or had dealings with: him. He is survived by his widow,' OBSERVATIONS {County Superintendent > 1 1 . ev? we left olT at Xort Fork T>'\v ship in our la-t art id There two routes cf Travel iroi Xcrth Fork t-?

B. Sans, chief of the general ^ prohibitions agents of the fifth divi11 sion with headquarters at High Point returned to that city Friday with part of the force of prohibition enA forcement agents that accompanied him on what has been termed one A of the biggest and most successful ~ liquor raids ever pulled off in North 1 Carolina. The raid, which took place about 65 miles north of Winston? Salem Wednesday night ar.d early Thursday morning, resulted in the confiscation of eight stills, one of 1 j them having a 300 gallon capacity land capable of distilling 150 gallons ' i of whiskey a day, the destroying of \ approximately 20,000 gallons of beer "jand 165 gallons of whiskey, and the '; confiscation of other property. One ; arrest was made and six prosecutions ; are expected to result of evidence '* 1 collected. " Mr. Sans was accompanied by nine ? members of his staff of prohibition , agents and by three members of Mr. Kohloss* state prohibition enforce3ii* nt staff. The officers, gathered in Winston-Salem Wednesday afternoon and departed from that city in autoj mobiles. Arriving at tbe vicinity in ; which the raid was to be conducted . ! the prohibition agents split up into " three separate searching parties and began to glean the country side for illicits stills and their operators and owners. The success of the prohibition men is evidenced in the result of the raidThe value of the beer, mash, wiskey e and distilleries captured has been e j conservatively estimated to be $I0Va i 000. One of the stills, the one with n the 300 gallon capacity, was one of ? the most complete distillery outfits 8 confiscated in the state. The outfit U! was operated by steam and complete 0 even to the detail of lighting equip?! ment. An acetyline plant had been ? 1 installed to furnish light for the oper8 j ators of the still. Steam was furnish| ed by a five horse-power upright 1- J engine. When first observed by prod! hibition officers the still was being 5 | operated by two men, but pursuit ? j failed, the officers becoming entangln j ed in dense vines while pursuing the 8 ; moonshinpra AHr?i?* O Sftft ?11 * . ? ..?wuv Wfvvv gaiiun^ OX d j beer, 125 gallons of low wines found e : near the still were destroyed. Three of the other distilleries cap> j tured were also of the steam variety, . | but none were as large as the one k I just described? i The raid was carried out without I a hitch. Everything had been plan| ned before hand and the country was ' mapped out systematically for the 71 three separate raiding parties. The L j prohibition officers were out for the 1 ,r I greater part of tfafe night, walking on 1 , I foot through woods and fields all in < | darkness and were a tired and ex- < r i hausted group of men when they 1 I returned.?Lexington Despatch. k DEMOCRAT BILLY SUNDAY Knoxville Journal and Tribune.

One man may say, ( for instance, that he doesn't believe % in Lilly's way of doing things. Many did not approve of Christ's way of x doing things?healing the sick on * Sundays, for instance. But Billy's , way may please another, thousands, j o others, and would Mich deny him iho privilege of saving someone just ; because his methods are not o their ; !ik; gV There have always been and always will be dissenters, objectors. { Kvc; Christ's disciples at one time , ol?jc< teii to the methods employed by . othei followers of Christ and ware rebuked Billy's methods may not. appi-al to you or to me but if they v are the means of bringing someone else to their knees ir. repentance, if J they are the means of saving someone else's boy or girl, then let him go on j using these methods until he shall ^ have battled or batted his way to his r Howard. t Much has been said of the cost t nf thic Smiilov i.ntfiin.l I* l.o?

THE CANINE AS COLLATERAL f j The average Stokes county credit J huckster wuuM rather own a mort gaga on a dog than a cow. A common cow will not bring much over .10 at forced sale, while a common cur is worth $15 of $20. An extra good milch cow wili sell for $25 to $40, while a i hoicc 'possum hound will command $50 5. At the county seat, where the dog population numbers ??7, dealers get $50 per head without any trouble. Plenty of follows who never owned a cow and who disdains such an ambition, will give $50 for a good possum or rabbit dog. Whether the population argues the decadence of the quality of food-producing livestock on the farms, or the greater appreciation ot the canine, is to be debated.
