The suit brought by J. W. BusLck
against R. O. Brame for $5,000 dam
ages for defamation of character,
which was in progress in the Su
perior court when
The Patriot went
to press last week, resulted In a
verdict for the plaintiff. The jury
found that the defendant uttered the

the complaint and assessed the dam
ages at $1.
A verdict for $300 was returned
for the plaintiff in

Holliday were residing at Ore Hill,
their child died, and Mrs. Holliday
alleges that she sent a message to
Mr. Holliday, who was then travel
ing In Georgia, announcing the death.
It is claimed that I the message was
vejry much delayed, and upon this
and other contentions Mr. and Mrs.
Holliday each brought suit against
the telegraph company. A non-suit
was taken in the suit instituted by
the husband, Mr. F. T. Holliday.
The case of D. R. McFarland
against Nancy McFarland and C. W.
McFarland resulted" in a mistrial.
Judge Shaw, afterj hearing the evi

bitration, 1 two jarbitrators to be se

the third to be named by the court.

TO WORK THE ROADS.
Guilford Expeoi'-ed to Respond to
Governor Cray's Proclamation.
The county commissioners, the of
ficers, of the Greensboro Chamber of
Commerce and -other public spirit
ed citizens have united in an effort
to have Guilford county make a
good showing November 5 and 6,
which have been designated as good
roads days in a proclamation is
sued by Governor Craig. Mr. W. C.
Boren, as chairman of the board of
county commissioners, hes issued a
circular letter calling the attention
of the people to the governor's proc
lamation and asking them to co-operate
to make it a great occasion in
Guilford county and the siate. Mr.
Boren is also having the state and
national governments send good
roads literature to leading citizens
of the county. The idea ;s to have
an overseer appointed for each piece
of road in the county that will be
3 ? -i . . i -i .
; ana ne is expectea io se
cure the co-operat'on of others. .. .
After calling attention to the
governor's proclamation, Chairman
Boren's letter says:
"By resolut'on the board of county
commissioners of Guilford county
have appointed the township road
commissioners to take up this mat
ter and organize their townships so
the most effective work can be done.
We would suggest that most of this
work be done on the dirt roads, fill
ing up i holes, cleaning out ditches
and drains. Care should be taken
ro instruct all the workers that all
material taken out of the ditches,
not suitable for road work, should
be thrown away from the road and
not on the road.
"The split log drag can probably
be used to good advantage in many
places on these days.
"State Geolo:i.t Joseph HydeFra't
is preparing a bulletin, giving sug
gestions' as to how we can use to
advantage the workers who offer
their services on these days, and we
have requested him to mall" ycu a
copy of same. ' ' - '
"We would suggest that you ap
point an overseer - as foreman, a
good roads advocate, for each road
that you propose to work on these
days and he can assist in organiz
ing and prosecuting the work."
It is thought that the plan canb?
made a success all over Guilford
county, if each township will do Its
part toward organizing and arousing
the in'erest of the people in the
work.
The road commissioners of More
head township Messrs. John W.
Cook, Paul Lindley and George Lane
have held a meeting and appdint-(
ed the following overseers to take
charge of the work on the principal
roads in the township:
Cedar street road Squire WiU'ams
Ashe streejt road R. W. H. Stone.

Hickory Grove road John Idddngs.
Pomona road Lee' Edwards.

THE FAIR A BIG SUCCESS.
Weather Ideal and Attendance Large
Many Fine Exhibits.
The Central Carolina fair is in full
blast under the most favorable aus
pices. The weather is ideal and the
crowds in attendance are large.
The exhibits in aU departments are
full and the. attractions secured for
the amusement of the crowds are
coming up to m expectations.
The agricultural exhibit is pro
nounced the best ever seen at a,
fair here. The displays are well
arranged and make a most credit
able showing for the farmers of Guil
ford. The exhibits shown in the
farm women's department are fine
and are attracting much favorable at
tention. .
The showing of live stock and
poultry is about all that could $e de
sired. f
The Southern Railway has a very
attractive exhibit dealing with hor
ticulture, dairying and domestic
science.
The North Caroiiha geological and
economic survey has a good roads
exhibit that is both interesting and
educational.
Many compliments are being pass
ed on the educational exhibit, which
shows the progress and scope of
the work of the schools and colleges
of Guilford. - The showing made by
the domestic science and agricultural
departments of the public schools in
the county is notable.
The baby booth, which is in charge
of the social service department of
the Greensboro Woman's Club, is one
oj the most interesting features of
the fair. The prizes in the better
babies contest will be awarded at
this booth tomorrow at noon.
Hundreds of colored school chil
dren attended the opening day of
the fair Tuesday as guests of the
management and appeared to enjoy
the occasion immensely. Tomorrow
the white school children of the
county will be admitted free, and
doubtless the attendance will " be
greater than on any other day

The Value of tiio
Crop
The total value of all
the crops for 1913 will
probably fall a half billion
dollars short of the value
of the 1912 crop unless
prices advance materially.
The value of a certain
crop to a certain farmer
c innot, however, be prop
erly measured in dollars
and cents. He wants to
o
way of machinery, cloth-
ing and groceries with
the corn or the beets or
the buckwheat grown ij
on forty acres. The mon-
ey value of the crop might
be misleading, as the
things he most needs may
have risen or fallen in
price.
Those farmers who reg
ularly read , the Monthly
Report issued by this
bank are , in the best
position to know what
their crops are going to
bring them in the things
they must have. These
Reports are sent regular
ly to any one requesting
them.
