BEFORE THE COUNTY CONVENTION
Whom Will the Democratic Candidate For Sheriff
Be ?--A Number of Good Men Spoken Of By
their Friends For the Place--lnterest In Politics
Keener Than For Many Years.
The Reporter learns on good |
; authority that there are several,
names being mentioned for Sher-j
( iff and other oounty officers on the j
, Demooratic side, aud that the |
Democrats are getting themselves j
better shape for the coming:
'* conflict. For the office of Sheriff,
* whiijh is always the place around
£ whWh the greatest intorest cen
•?, ters, it being the office closest to
the people, the names of S. P.
rV Christian, of Westfield; J. S. 1).
}' Pulliam, of King; Sam C. Hill, of
■> Germanton; Mr. Watts, of Walnut ■
\ Cove; E. C. Sheppard, of Lawaon-;
t * ville; J. H. Carter, of Pine Hall;,
' 4 Hilory Burton, of Walnut Cove, |
> are being discussed. These arej
fill good meu who would fill the .
important office of Sheriff in an j
?.•' honorable and capable manner.'
;> Either would give the Republican i
'i* opponent the race of his life.
For Register of Deeds, E. A.
Rothrook, John R. Leak, and O.
L. Pulliam are suggested. These
* are three young meu who are
[»T\. farmers and school teachers, and
either of thein would make a good
Register of Deeds.
.? For Treasurer, Mr. J. Wilson
'jt Mitchell, of Dillard, the Reporter
Lj learns, would accept the place, if 1
8? his friends saw fit to honor him
ft with it, and would make a good |
s ''Tun, as well as an acceptable offi-
Jjr; cer, if elected.
There are a number of others!
for the minor offices of J
fit county commissioner, etc., and it
|p, will be no trouble to fiud timber.'
fe* The couuty convention will soon |
be held, possibly about the last of
month, ami from the interest
in politics at the pres-
Y v «ent time, a big crowd will attend
W .the meeting.
The Reporter would suggest at'
the coming convention that the
paople from all of the sections of
.jfthe county come out and let us
I (have a representative body and a
/J '/ull expression of ideas and
jr' wishes, and no slating of ticket by
. • would-be bosses. Let the people
' rule. The farmers of the county
• compose about ninety-five one
*• hundredths of our population, aud
we need more "farmers" oonven
 * tions.

How to Prevent the Washing Away
of Cultivated Land —News Items
of Interest From Saxon District,
Madison Route ii. June 1(5.
Rev. C. P. Wilcox filled his ap

We had a good rain Sunday

The pass word is, "can you help

WHO WILL RUN AGAINST A. L. BROOKS?
Judge W. P. Bynum, Jr., B. S. Robertson, John W.
Fries, N. O. and R. J. Petree Rumored as Possible
Candidates--Republicans Must Overcome Big
Majority to Get In.
The question which is agitating!
the minds of the politicians of the
Fifth District now is, who will the |
Republicans nominate for the run
against Mr. Brcoks.
The rumor that Judge Strud- j
wick or Professor J. Allen Holt;
will come out independent, is de
nied, and there is no probability
that the Democratic nominee will j
have any'opposition in his own j
party.
The Reporter has heard it sug
gested that either R. J. Petree, of
Germanton, or N. O. Petree, of
Danbury, may be named by the
Republican convention. Judge
| Bynum, of Greensboro, is gener-'
| ally suggested as the most logical ■
| candidate. John W. Fries, of;
Winston-Salem, and Benjamin S.
I Robertson, of Haw River, are
I spoken of as possible timber,
' while there are plenty of dark
horses.
We believe that Hon. W. W.
Kitchin left this district with
something like 4,00> majority, and
l the Republicans will have up-hill
j business to overcome such a ma-,
jority. Brooks could easily lose
J two or three thousand votes, and 1
I then come in with a safe majority.

C. E. Lasley Must Be Seeking Some
Office in Stokes.
Dillard, June I(s.—Misses Lem-j
ma and Minnie Duncan and i
Messrs. James Heard and Ander- j
son Duncan spent Saturday and I
Sunday with relatives at Walnut j
Cove. They report a pleasant]
trip.
Mrs. W. P. Wilson is spending j
this week at Madison with rela- J
tives.
Mrs. J. Wilson Mitchell is
spending the week with her par
ents in Patrick County. Va.
We guess that C. E. Lasley must
be seeking some office in Stokes
county—probably that of County
Superintendent, judging from the
tone of his last letter in the Re
porter. He would probably
cause a complete revolution in
public schools could he only get
in the lead. Sounds very weak for
some one who does not aid any in
the cause to stand otf and criticize
those who do all they can.

It is learned that many of the

indispensable to the better equip
ment of the teachers, and this fact
is recognized by the leading ed

Give us an Institute, Prof.

FAITH.
Will it Cut Off Special School Taxes?
A prominent member of the
! Greensboro bai says that the re
i cent Supreme Court decision de
claring that under the constitu
tion the State and county poll tax
shall not eiceed $2 will cut off the
poll taxes levied in special school
tax districts, as they are at pres
ent collected by the sheriff as
part of the State ami county poll
tax on the citizens of the special
tax districts. In Guilford county
special school tax districts the to
tal of this school tax will reach
$15,000 at least, and until some re
medial legislation can be had, if
the above construction of the Su
preme Court opinion is correct,
the loss in poll tax contribution
to the school fund in these special
.districts throughout the State will
| reach $75,000 to SIOO,OOO.
The lawyer mentioned gave his
opinion after a careful exainina
; tion made by request of a county
i school superintendent of educa
' tion.
