Total luajority against prohibition in the county 435.
The above is the vote cast in the precincts of
Stokes County yesterday.
The election was hot and bitter in some sections,
and some of the "antis" were furious.
The figures showed that in proportion to the num
ber of votes cast, Danbury is the banner wet pre
cinct of the County, and King the banner dry pre
cinct.
The result in the County was a surprise to the pro
hibitionists in that the voting was heavier than was
expected. The prohibitionists polled more votes
than they had counted on, while a great many more
of the wets voted than drys had expected.

We heartily agree with the cor
respondent in last week's issue of
the Reporter in regard to public
schools in Stokes county. We
would like for some one to tell us
how we can have high schools
without more money, besides four
months of the year is as much as
the average farmer in Stokes can
afford to send his children to
school. Since farm hands are so
scarce, the children are compelled
to work on the farm eight months.
But if the children would make
good use of the four months in
school each year, they can get a
very good practical eduoation.
