Will Be Planted this Year.
I
Brim Itoute 1, Ma.v K.—We] have u !
| Hue fruit crop around Asbur.v. and i
| we feel like it is about wale now.
Wheat is looking very good at '
j present.
j There is just plenty of tobacco j
| plants around Asbury to plant two j
crops of tobacco. There will lie the I
| most land plained in tobacco this!
I year in Stokes than ever has been j
j planted. When you liejr a farm
er to plant a small crop of tobacco i
the desire grows In liliu to plant a I
big one. I pity such a class ofi
men. They toil for no good at nil. J
I had rather have the casli that it;
takes to pay for^tlie fertilizer in'
Stokes this year than to have all
the profit on the tobacco crop.
If kludge Justice could come to
Danbury and hold every court we
all would be well pleased. We
him the most business
man ever at Danbury. He has
the right name—Justice. Among
all the work done by the lawyers
at Danbury during "the criminal
part of court, we have heard more
praise for young Hall, who plead
ed the case of Hardin Moore.
That speech was hard to beat. It
was well worded and as near the
point as it could have been utter
ed. Then John D. Humphreys
on cross-examination of W. W.
Noah made a great success. He
tore Noah's testimony all to
pieces by Noah himself. Then it
j was that the bill was thrown out
jof court against G. L. Simmons.

TWO COUSINS.
"TO YOUR TENTS, 0 ISRAEL !"
Tbe Reporter is glad to say to the prohibition people of Stokes
county that just as sure ns the sun shall rise tomorrow morning,
the State is going to roll up a great majority for prohibition
—such a majority as will sound the death kneli of the whiskey
traffic in North Carolina forever. The whiskey crowd, with all
of its immense campaign funds, is unable to corrupt the splen
did mauhood of our old North State, and they hnve practically
conceded to the prohibitionists all but seventeen of the counties
of the State.
It makes us downcast with shame that anions the seventeen of
the counties the whiskey crowd are claiming is our own dear
county of Stokes called by outsiders crime-stricken, lawless,
hopeless.
But the Reporter has far too much faith in the good people of
Stokes county to believe for one moment that this county will
vote for the manufacture and sale of whiskey in North Carolina
and Stokes county. We are gaining ground every day. We are
now organized at every precinct in the county. The people are
reading and thinking. There is beginning to be a great change
in sentiment.
Among the crowd that are not with us are some of the best
friends this paper has in the world, as good men as there are in
the State of North Carolina. We are deeply grieved that they
are taking the stand against what their cool, calm reason must
tell them is not for the best interests of our county, but op
posed to all that is dear to themselves—their churches, wives,
children, homes. These people we do not believe realize what a
tretneuduous responsibility rests upon them. There are a thou
sand homes in Stokes county that have felt the sting of the liquor
curse at some time.
The Reporter wants to see the real men of Stokes county rise
up and say that we are as good people as there are on the face of
the earth and wo will cast off this dark stain upon the fair name
of our county—this record for blockade stills, and disregard of
the law. We will do our part, and join the 80 other coun
ties of the State who will roll up big majorities for prohibition
oti the 26th of May.
The time has come when every man, woman and child are
called upon to do their duty—to use all the influence that each
one has for the good of their county. Don't be ashamod to do
what you must know is right. You will be ashamed of the part
you have taken when the State goes for prohibition by 50,000
majority, and you feel that it was in spite of your efforts to legal
ize the manufacture and sale of liquor at every cross roads in
Stokes county.
All the churches of the State without a single exception are
standing on record for prohibition, even the Roman Catholics.
In another part of this paper we are publishing a letter from
Elder P. D. Gold, the head of the Primitive Baptist church in
the State, who declares that he will vote for prohibition, and we
are glad to see this great church, which is so strong and has so
much influence in our county, standing on tbe right side. With
the help of the great Primitive Baptists, we are going to carry
the strongholds of the enemy.
The National Whiskey Trust
to corrupt the manhood of North Carolina. Every man, woman
and child are expected to do their duty. Never shall we permit
this gigantio tear-fed, blood-gorged trust to buy our votes and
our influence to destroy our own homes.
"To your tents, O Israel."
Address Of Dr. C. W. Blanchard.
Dr. C. W. Blanchard, pastor of
the First Baptist church of Ral
eigh, spoke at Palmyra and Union
Hill churches Sunday, and at
Danbury Sunday night, on pro
hibition, under the auspices of
the State Anti-Saloon League.
Dr Blanchard made a most favor
able impression on all who heard
him, and it is the general verdict
that if be could be heard by every
citizen of our county that our
people would bo unanimous in
their determination to vote
against the manufacture and sale
of whiskey in the State. Dr.
Blanchard's address was attended
by a large crowd, and it is certain,
although there arc scarcely any
persons opposed to prohibition
in this community, that those
who were doubtful about their
duty on the 26th of May, had
their doubts removed.
He is making one of the strong
est appeals we have ever beard,
yet there is nothing in his re
marks that could be offensive to
oven the most sensitive anti-pro
hibitionists. Dr. Blanchard stated
that the central office at Ral
eigh is much in need of funds to
carry on the work of the prohibi
tion campaign in the State. He
has spent more than $500.00 out
of his own pocket helping defray
the expenses of the work. If
there are any persons in Stokes
county who desire to help in the
great fight financially, send your
contribution to Chairman
John A. Oates, of the State Anti-
Saloon League, Raleigh, N. C.
He will send you a receipt, and
will thank you. Every little
amount, no matter how small, will
be thankfully received. All the
prohibitionists are working with
! out My, and nearly all of the
rspeakers are paying their own
I expense*.
