AN APPEAL TO FARMERS.
Officers of the Farmers' Protective Association
Asked to Call Members Together and Elect Del
egates to County Meeting.
Mr. Editor :
We want to ask tbe officers of
the Farmers' Protective Associa
tion to call the members together
and elect their delegates to a
couoty meeting, to be held some
time in June, in Stokes county.
Tbe Surry county meeting will |
be held in Mt. Airy on Friday \
the 26th day of June. 1908.'
The State Association will be
held in Raleigh on the second
Friday in July.
We had expected to have had
several meetings in Stokes this
spring, but Mr. J. O. W. Gravely
the main speaker haß been
providentially hinderd by the;
sickness of his wife. She has'
been sick for nearly two.
months, and Mr. Gravely could
not leave her to do this work and
therefore it has not been done.
But the people are making a great
effort to raise a crop of tobacco
and we ought to make jast as
great an effort to sell it for a pro
fitable price. The Warehouses,
nor tbe buyert, nor tbe American
Tobacco Co, will not look after
our interest, therefore if we fail
to take care of our own interest
it will not be done. Every farmer
should see to it that there is a liv
ing in it for his family, bis stock
and bis hands and pat himself
in position to keep his tobacco off
tbe market when the price is low,
and learn not to go to market
when there is a glut on the mar
ket, and prepare himself to hold
his tobacco if neccessary for
months. It is very foolish in a
farmer to continue a business
when he knows there is no profit
in the business, and if tbe farmers
would properly organize tbey
could make tobacco growing a
profitable business, but without
organization we see uo future for
the business.

THE DANBURY REPORTER.
OLD SOLDIERS' DAY JULY 4.
Capt. Leak To Call the Ex-Confeder
ates Together For a Pleasant
Reunion, a Good Dinner and a
Good Time.
Capt. James A. Leak has called
the old Confederate soldiers to
gether in Danbury on Saturday,
July 4, for their annual reunion,
to hear a good speech, est a good
dinner provided by their friends
and relatives, and to enjoy the
day.
A speaker of State prominence
will be secured to address the old
rebels, while the Walnut Cove
brass band will probably make
music for the occasion.
Capt. Leak's formal call will be
published in the Reporter in a
few days, outlining the plans and
purposes in full. Several of the
old Boldiers have passed away
since the annual reunion last
August. Their members are
every year growing less. The
people of the county will do all in
their power to make their last
days as pleasant as possible. The
1908 reunion i 6 expected to be the
biggest and most successful of
any yet held.
More Improvements.
Improvements to the streets of
Danbury continue. The side
walk in front of the Taylor hotel
is being laid with brick and rock.
Mr. proprietor, is due
a vote of thanks.

SURRY COUNTY VETERANS.
To Be Given A Nice Time June 3
Deputy Marshal Carroll Collect
ing Old Government Claims —A
Marriage.
From the Leader.
On June the 3rd the ladies of
this section will give the surviv
ing heroee of the "Lost Cause"
; a splendid day, aud it is expected
to mske this the most enjoyable
clay ever spent on such an occa
sion. Short speeches will be
made, but the features of the oc
casion will l>e good music, plenty
|to eat and a hearty welcome to
those whose ranks are gradually
thinning out.
Commander S. C. Franklin es
jpecially urges the old veterans to
attend these exercises, if possible,
for at least only a few more such
occasions can be enjoyed by the
once flower of the South, who
followed the fortunes of war so
bravely and afterwards stood BO
firmly for ttye upbuilding of a
stable civil government. Every
veteran in the county should be
here on that day, for the memo
ries of those days that truly tried
men's souls is sweet to tboee who
participated in that bloody con
test, and it is fitting that they
should heartily enjoy the hospi
tality of their decendanta, who
freely appreciate the real worth
of their many sacrifioes and
bravery.
Deputy Marshal G. A. Carroll,
of Winston-Salem, spent several
days in this city last week on a
mission that somewhat "stirred
up the natives," for he was here
for the purpose of collecting old
government claims against de
linquent brandy distillers aud
their bondsmen. These claims
have been running for many
years, and owing to the great
number of them, they represent
a large amount of money which
will be collected by law. These
claims grew out of the failure of
the distillers to make the required
capacity of brandy and to come
across when the government de
manded its taxes. The men who
so generously went on the bonds
of the distillers will now to
settle with "Uncle Sam" or take
the consequences.

back on half time will be restored
to their positions 011 full time at

Unofficial reports are coming
in also to the effect that the work
of double-tracking and restoring!
the working train crews, which j
have all been laid off, will be re
sumed by the Ist of July. Noth
ing official has been heard of this,
however, but, in view of the fact
that the condition of the South- j

Bumper Wheat Crop Expected.
Reports received from various
parts of the Canadian West indi-|
cate that the increase in wheat
acreage this year will be tremen
dous. The grain men are of the
opinion that about 120,000,000
bushels of wheat will be threshed
out in 1908.
GREAT CROP OF TOBACCO.
The Acreage tile Largest In the History of the County
It is the p»ndral opinion of
! fanners alTovor Stokes that this
county will pr duce the largest
crop of tobacco in the year 1908
within the history of the county.
Nearly every farmer the Repor
ter talks with admits that his to
bacco lands prepared this year are
just a little larger than ever be
fore. The seßßons have been very
favorable both for the growth of
the plants and for transplanting.
It goes without 6aying in all sec
tions of the county now that the
1908 Stokes crop will be a bumper
sure enough.
It is about this time usually
that the officials of the American
Tobacco Company are said to
meet in the city of New York and
agree on the price to be paid for
j the crop for the fall following.
When the Trust learns what im
mense tracts of land our people
are laying out in the weed, they
' will no doubt experience 6omesort
| of a degree of satisfaction.
