A Visitor From the Far West.
I
Mr. L. C. Davis, of Portland,
Oregon, is here on a visit to his
people, and was shaking hands
with his scores of friends in Dan
bury this week. He has beeii|
absent in the far west for four 1
years. Clint says Oregon is a
great State. He would not f®r
any consideration live in this
i country again. Portland is a city
!of 250,(XX) people. Clint has
been to see Prof. W. B. Harris
several times during the psst two
or three years. The Prof, with
Homer, his son, tends over 300
acrea of land. On this immense
farm every foot is in cultivation.
The land produces from 25 to 50
bushels per acre of wheat. Prof.
Harris bought 100 acres at SSO
per acre, and could sell now at
$125.00 per acre, or $150.00.
In tho West, Clint says, every
thing is Union. The farmers
price their ovrn stuff, and what
ever the organization lists pro
daots at, that is what you must

D. P. REID WRITES
OF HIS SMALLPOX EXPERIENCE
Replies to "Old Timer," Who Had
Letter In Last Issue of the Re
porter Thinks He Contracted
Disease In Walnut Cove.
Dillard. Jan lti.
Editors Reporter :
i Please allow me space in your;
paper to reply to " )ld Timer." 1
1 saw in last week's issue where j
he said there was no smallpox in
| Walnut Cove an,l never had been. :
, 1 wish to tell the people that I i
caught a bad case of smallpox I
thgre for I hadn't been out any- j
j where else to catch it. It came;
I very near killing me. 1 was down
! four weeks, and am not. able to I
work now. I think I caught it i
I from Mr. Joe Allen. He was'
| walking the streets there when he
| ought to hnve been in the pest
[ house and a guard over him if he
jdicln'; have judgment enough to
stay in off the street. Such peo
| pie as "Old Timer"' are the
cause of it being scattered all over
the county, thinking they know I
more than the doctors. At that
time we had no county physician.!
Dr. Wilson, from Madison, de
serves the credit of stopping it. j
He came up here and vaccinated I
my family and all that had been j
exposed to it, so no one caught it
from me. If the people of Wal-'
nut Cove don't believe that I hail'
the smallpox, ask Dr. Fulp.
Will close, wishing all of the
readers of the Reporter a happy
and prosperous New Year.
Respectfully,
D. P. REID.
Guilty Pair Flees to Patrick.
I
j Tom Tilley and Sadie Manuel 1
i eloped to Patrick county, Va., |
last Tuesday night from this j
place. Tilley is a married man, I
and leaves a wife and several!
children here. The Manuel j
woman is a young widow, wife of
the late Little Pleas Manuel,
i She carried her children along.
| Tho pair are said to be living
I together near Stuart as man and
wife.
It is reported that Tilley and
his paramour had already lived
with relation to each other in
such manner as to violate the
rales of common neighborhood
decency. If their sojourn here
had been longer prolonged, a
vigilance committee would proba
bly have waited upon them. The
i woman is said to be in n condition
which will early necessitate the
i services of a physician.
The man Tilley enjoys the
reputation of being a vvife-stealer.
He is charged with breaking up
ni«>ro tliau one marital contract,
and once eloped vith a half-white
uegress from Danbury. He has
served terms in jail aid on the
, road.
! The Patrick authorities when
'apprised of the character of their
! guests, will doubtless take imme-.
1 diate action.
It is stated that the father of
the Manuel woman. Win. Mounce. j
of this place, will swear out a
warrant for Tilley.

RAILROAD COMING
SECOND PROJECT ON TAP
The Surry-Stokes-Rockingham De
velopment Company to Build
Electric Line From Draper, via
Leaksville, Spray, Stoneville,
Sandy Ridge Danbury and to
i Mt. Airy.
I)r. Francis J, rle (iiers and
! Mrs. tie (iiers. of New York city,
accompanied by Messrs, Lewis
j awl others of Stoueville, were in
Danbury yesterday and held a
l meeting nt the McCanless hotel
i looking to the building of an
j electric railway from Rockingham,
j through Stokes and to Surry, nt
lan early date. Dr. de Giers,
speaking to audience composed of
i a number of the most influential
! citizens of the place, stated
that he is a railroad promoter of
New York, and is connected with
, Clarence M. Smith A: Co.. of t>4
Wall St., New York, finance
brokers. The proposed electric
line is to run from Draper, via
Leaksville. Spray, Stoneville.
Sandy Ridge and J >anbury to
Mount Airy. Work of surveying
the line is to be started this week.
While not looking for local capi
tal, the Dr. was anxious for local
citizens of influence to interest
, themselves in the project to the
extent of a few shares at SIOO.OO
each. He exhibited a list pur-
I porting to be subscriptions of
stock from about 25 citizens of
1 Stoneville, each taking from one
; to five shares.
It was eminently desirable, Dr.
de Giers explained, that the road
should have the moral support of
the section to be traversed. The
financial support was secondary,
as the few hundred or thousands
which he could enlist here would
not be a drop in the bucket when
|it came to building the road, and
would only be used to defray the
; expenses mainly of the survey
and to show to the eastern capital
ists who build the road that
home people are interested.
The Danbury people assured
| the Doctor that their moral sup.
I port and influence should not be
withheld, but that his railroad
| would be welcomed with much
pleasure. It was felt quite sure
that the right of way could be
| obtained. Regarding the sub
scriptions for stock at -SIOO.OO per
ishare, they requested a little
time in which to give the sub
ject thought, when they would
invest as liberally us their limit
ed means would permit, and their
calm and safe judgment direct.
The Dr. and his party left
Tuesday afternoon for Mt. Airy,
followed by tfie best wishes of all
our people.
