DANBURY, N. C.
"HAS IT IN" FOR MR. BUXTON
Correspondent Writing Under the
Name Of "David" Gives His
Reasons For Not Supporting
Him For Congress.
Mr. Editor :
I fool like somebody ought to
iell Mr. Buxton through the Re
porter what our people generally
think of his letter to Mr. Flinn,
In it he tries hard to cover up as
KB believe the real reasjn for hie
pery un-Deinocratic conduct in
the last Legislature. As I see it,
tiis explanation is nothing more
than au insult to the intelligent
readers of the Reporter.
Does he think we are so devoid
af hard horse sonse as to believe
iny part of such rot as he hands
sut to Mr. Flinn, and through him
to the readers of the Reporter.
Perhaps it is the Democratic, 01
rather only tho Buxton way, of
saying what Charley Reynolds did
in tho last campaign, that the
American Tobacco Company was
the best friend the farmers of this
section had, and the result ol
last election shows how few voters
believe such rot. Mr. Buxton will
find when he comes in for a nom
ination as Congressman, that he is
not half so popular as he was
when he got the nomination as
Senator for Forsyth.
Mr. Buxton's reasoning is thai
tho American Tobacco Trust ie
greater than the State of North
Carolina. And he is, or was at
the time ho wrote Mr. Flinn, ol
the same opinion as Mr. Fiidey
jnd me Jeter C. I'ritchard were
before they met Gov. R. B. Glenn
on the railroad rate question.
Mr. Buxton was evidently more
the representative of the tobacoc;
interest of Winston than of the
people of Forsyth county. And
he saw that the Reid Bill "had
teeth" and that it would bite the
life out of the Tobacco Trust, and
he was willing to sacrifice the wel
fare of his people to the interest
of the Trust,
If the Ueid Bill was a good
thing 12 or l i years ago when Cy
Watson tried 80 hard to get it on
our statute books, it is a good
thing yet, and our people are in
clined to the bolief that a few
thousand dollars cash in hand was
more attractive to Mr. Buxton
than tho salary of an uncertain
Congressman. A case of a bird
in hand rather than two in the
bush, you see.
That trust influences will boost
Mr. Buxton for Congress, is not
yet certain, because he made such
a mess of it trying to make Re
publican acting fit into Democrat
ic promises—such a bad mess of it
that we very much doubt if his
name is put to the Convention. Il
is certain nobody else will olfet
his name. No true Democrat will
DAVID.
A PRETTY HOME WEDDING.
y
Miss Mary Kreeger Becomes the
Bride of Mr. Ira G. Gentry.
A very pretty home wedding
was celebrated Wednesday even l
ing, Aug. 14, lit 5 o'clock at tlx
beautiful country home of Mr
and Mrs. J. A. Kreeger, neai
King, when their daughter, Misi
Mary, became the bride of Mr. In
G. Gentry, of Oak Grove. Tht
ceremony was beautifully per
formed by Rev. J. C. Keever, o
Rurnl Hall. The bride was hand
somly attired in white organdie
The ceremony was witnessed by r
host of relatives and friends ol
both bride and groom. The at
tendants were Mr. S. A. Tuttle
of Rural Hall, with Miss Nannie
Spainhowor, cousins of the bride
Mr. T. W. Gentry, of Winston
Salem, brother of the groom, wit!
Miss Martha McGce, of Oal
Grove. Among tho number ol
gue3ta preset were Mr. and Mrs
AUGUST 22, 1907.
J. J. Gentry, of Winston; Mr. and
Mrs. V. T. Grabs, of King; Mr. 8.
F. Gordon and sister, Miss Bettie,
of Germanton; Mr. C. R. Boyles,
and Misses Hattie and Clemmie
Smith, of Oak Grove.
Immediately after the ceremony
the bride and groom with their
guests were ushered into the din
ing room, which was beautifully
decorated with ferns and cut flow
ers, where an excellent suyper was
served in honor of the happy oc
casion. The day following the
happy couple with their guests
were entertained at the home of
the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
11. G. Gentry, where a sumptuous
dinner was served to about fifty
guests or more.
The bride is a beautiful and ac
complished young lady, and has a
host of admiring friends. The
groopi is a popular young man,
and one of Stokes county's most
successful farmers.
M#. and Mrs. Gentry will reside
with the groom's parents for the
present.
PLEASANT BOYS.
FIRE INSURANCE POLICIES.
Beware Of the Tricks By Which the
Adjuster Will Try To Beat
You Out Of Your Money.
Judge Robert W. Winston re
cently published a card in the
Durham Sun which is of interest
to everybody who has a fire in
surance policy.
Referring to the fire insurance
adjuster, Judge Winston says :
His (the adjuster's) business is
to flit from place to place on the
heels of a fire and to search the
court records to find out if he can
beat the policy-holder out of his
insurance. He does not work un
der a local agent, but he works
above him and really scorns him.
He noes to the registers of deeds'
office and if he finds any defect in
your title his company then re
fuses to pay the loss, or else it
does what is called penalizing you,
For this reason I would ask you
to give attention to the following
facts :
1. If the deed to yourhouseand
lot stands in the name of your
wife and is insured in your name,
you cannot recover one penny un
der your fire insurance policy.
2. If you have a mortgage or
deed in trust upon your lot and
you fail to disclose this to the in
surance company you cannot re
cover one penny in the event of a
lire.
3. If you have no deed to your
house and lot and a fire occurs
you cannot recover under your
polioy.
Judge Winston is a lawyer of
recognized ability and ought to
know what he is talking about.
The above fact will doubtless be
news to many people who carry
fire insurance policies and it would
be nothing amiss for all who holds
an old line fire insurance policy to
see to it that in case of loss by fire
he is fortified against the tricks of
the smart insurance adjuster.—

DILLARD

A PLAYER.
A BIG BIRTHDAY DINNER
Given Mr. Jas. Wall At Hia Home
On Tobaccoville Route 2.
Tobaccoville Route 2, Aug. 17.
—On Tuesday, the sixth day of
this month, Mr. Jas. Wall had a
lurprise for his 80th birthday, he
Ming "four score years." About
)ne hundred and forty of his
neighbors assembled at the home
>f Mr. Wall with their buckets
ind baskets filled with the various
;ood things to eat. A long table
ixed out in the yard was filled,
ind the "good things" were more
ihau enough for the crowd.
Mr. Wall is one of the old Vet
sratis, having served in the army
'.hree years during the Civil War.
He belonged to the 21st regiment,
Company I, N. C. troops. Mr.
Jaokson Wall was at the birthday
celebration also, having served in
the 21st also, but in Co. H. Mr.
Jas. Wall has two sisters older
than he is. Mrs. Loggins, who was
it the birthday occasion, is
39, lacking only four months be
ing 90 years old.
Perhaps there are a few of the
old Veterans living in Stokes, and
in the adjoining counties, who
will remember back to "war
times" and think of these two sol- '
iliers of this oocasion. A religious '
meeting was in progress at Mount
Pleasant at the time nf the above
mentioned occasion and Rev. J.
C. Keever, pastor in charge, and
Rev. T. D. Bridges, his help at
the meeting, was there also.
Social occasions like the
above seem to make life more
lively, and are a good thing in
place, but in history we learn that
away back in the days of
colonial time they became nearly
an "every day thing" over in old
Virginia so much that on one
occasion one of the good "old
house keepers," made a sudden
move to just at once quit the
fashion (so that "the people"
could have a little time to work
too) and at the motion the custom
was suddenly changed—and there
was great relief ta the people, as
was acknowledged. Wise motions
and good cooks and nice house
keepers are to be respected for the
good welfare of the common
wealth, and care should be taken
so as to not overwork this class
for the sake of having "a good
time and plenty to eat." But with
all the care the ''surprises" and
the "feasts" seem to have a place,
and when Jackson and others of
the old soldiers arrive at the age
ef four score or near, show them
the special kindness for the hon
orable age; and if the ministers of
Christ are near, call them in to
the feast too, and have them to
offer prayer and thanks to the
giver of all thinks.
