Farmers' Union Picnic and Old;
Soldiers Reunion Not To Be Held j
On Same Date.
I
Major W. S. Ray requests the j
Reporter to announce that the
committee appointed by the!
Farmers Union last Saturday to'
confer with the managers of the :
organization of Confederate,
Veterans, with the view of hold- j
the annual picnic of the Union :
and the annual reunion of the j
old Soldiers, at Danbury on the
same day. this week conferred I
with a committee of the old,
soldiers, with the following re
sult : That after the matter
was thoroughly discussed, it was j
thought advisible that the two ■
gatherings should not be held on
the same day. The old soldiers
have already arranged to secure
a speaker who will address them
on war-time subjects, while the
Union would of course very (
properly desire speakers on other!
subjects, and for this reason, as :
well as others, it was thought
best to keep the two organiza
tions separate and distinct in
their meetings
Mr. Ray said that the cause
of the old soldiers is very friend
ly to the Farmers Union, while
,it is known that the Union feels
(very kindly towards the old
soldiers.

STOKES CORN CLUB
SEVEN BOYS IN THE CONTEST
Six of these Are In Quaker Gap
Township—Ought to Be at Least
200 in the County—Handsome
Cash Prizes.
Only seven boys have yet
joined the Stokes County Corn
Club, and six of these are in
Quaker Gap. The list is as
follows:
James Blancett, Peter's Creek,
Va.
Will Lawrence, Francisco.
Cleve Flippin, Francisco Route
2.
Lee P. Frans, Brim Route 1.
Warren Mitchell, Madison
Route 3.
Sam A. Forest, Francisco
Route 1.
Eugene B. Forest, Francisco
Route 1.
The State is offering hand
some cash prizes to the boys who
raise the most corn on an acre.
At least 200 Stokes boys ought
to be in this contest, but up to
date Prof. J. T. Smith informs
the Reporter that only the above
named list have complied with
the regulations governing the
contest, by sending the neces
sary blank to Mr. T. B. Parker,
of Raleigh.
Stand By the Sunday School.
The time was set to organize
a Sunday school at Haw Pond
i church last Sunday. But there
i were only but two men there and
i about twenty-five or thirty girls
and boys. Now parents, God
will hold you responsible for the
i way you bring your children up.
The chiidren are eager to
learn and you are neglecting
Solomon's advice when he said
bring up a child in the way he
should go for if a child don't go
to Sunday School it will go some
; where else.
Some don't want to use litera
! ture because it costs money.
Don't you ever spend money for
things that don't do you or your
family any good?
Some say they can teach their
; children at home. But are you
teaching them? Do you ever
sit down and read the Bible to
them and talk to them about
their creator?
Dot not they more often hear
' you and some one else talking
about the way some one else
does?
Now God has not chosen you
and me to judge other people.
He will do that.
Now if there is some one in
the church or Sunday School
that you think is not living right
it is not your business to talk
about them, but go and do your
duty and it may be you will turn
them from the error of their
, way.
! If the people don't do their
duty because there are hypocrites
lin the churches and Sunday
! Schools you will have to spend
eternity with the hypocrites,
which will be the worst. This
j life is short at the longest.
Eternity never ends.
Christ said let the wheat and
tares grow together and at the
harvest they would be separated.
Think the matter over and see
whether you are ready for the
harvest.

old Stokes county that I have
arrived at home from St. Louis,

anything. I find the boys in
high spirit everywhere, moving
in the right direction. I hope to
have the pleasure of telling the
brethren of the many good
things I saw and heard. It is
impossible for me to write it all.

ELDER J. H. WRIGHT
INTERVIEWED BY REPORTER
Mr. Wright Talks Interestingly Re
garding the Primitive Baptist
Church and the Eariners' Union-
Important Matter to Come Up
Before Pleasant Grove Association.
A report was current hero this
week that the session of tlu>
Primitive Baptist Association at
Winston last week had appealed
or nullified that clause in the reg
ulations of the Baptists which
expressly or impliedly opposes
any member of that church join
ing a secret society, which it is
understood has recently been
effective in this county with ref
erence to the Farmers' Union.
Elder John Henry Wright, of
Westfield, a prominent Primitive
Baptist minister, was here this
week and was asked by the He
porter if the rumor regarding
the action of the Winston Asso
ciation was true. Mr. Wright,
who did not attend the Associa
tion, did not know, but stated
that he doubted the truth of the
report. Mr. Wright added, how
ever, that the matter has been
under discussion, and will in all
probability come up at Pleasant
j Grove Association this week and
next, and the objection to mem
bers of the Baptist Church ally
ing themselves with the Union
will probably be removed. In
deed Mr. Wright says this really
ought to have been done long'
ago, and he will advise with his
church to make the needed
amendment to the by-laws.
Mr. Wright, who is well posted
on the early history of his
church, says the real need of the
I anti-secret society inclination of
the church has long since passed
away. It had its origin in the
old Ku Klux and Red String
j party days, when the church
j felt the necessity of holding itself
j aloof from the violent measures
'practiced by those institutions,
and while there is really no
record of this matter, there was
an unwritten understanding in
the church that no member
should join any society where
manipulations were practiced in
secret, without first knowing
the nature of the society.
Mr. Wright says himself and
other ministers of his chinch
have carefully read over the con
stitution of the Farmers' Ur"
and that they have found not.,
ing objectionable in it, and
that he sees no reason why any
church member who so desires
may not join it.
j This it is learned is the opin
ion expressed by Elder Ashburn
and other prominent Baptist
j ministers.
Association At Pleasant Grove.
On next Saturday, Sunday and
Monday there will be held an
j association of the Primitive Bap
tists at Pleasant drove, Patrick
county, Va., which is just a few
miles beyond the line, near Lac
key's old store place. A large
crowd of people will doubtless
attend. Pleasant Grove is said
to be famous for lawlessness.
Several murders have occurred
there, and this fact will doubt
less deter many persons from at
tending. though the Virginia
authorities will doubtless have
, officers on the grounds to keep
order.
Mr. Jesse A. Ijawson. who
is now engaged in the mercantile
business at Walnut Cove, spent
Sunday with his family at
Lawsonville.
