Politics aud prohibition is all
the talk now. We all send up a
loud "hurrah" for Kitchin and
Brooks.
We notice a letter in last week's
issue of the Reporter from Mr.
C. E. Lasley. of Winston-Salem,
in which he reflected on the
free school teachers and also our
present Co. Superintendent of
Stokes. We can truthfully say we
have never had a more faithful
Superintendent than Prof. Smith
and the schools are in the best
condition they have been in for
many years. And the teachers
are doing all in their power to bet
ter our schools. And if they
spend their money fj>r dressing
they certainly get it honest. We
think it looks very small of a
young man to go to another coun
ty and try to cast insinuations on
the free school system of his home |
county. The county should not
be judged by the few people who
take no interest in education.
