THE DANBURY REPORTER. VOLUME XXXIX. STEDMAN ON FIRST LOOKS LIKE SURE THING The Major Starting With the Big Vote Of Hla Own County, and Strong Support From Alamance, Durham and Orange, May Win In a Walkover. Greensboro, May 30. The chances for the nomina tion of Major Steadman for congress in this distinct are be coming brighter every day, and at present with no striking change taking place, Stednlan will win on the first ballot with ease. The claims of the Sted man forces are Guilford, more than half of Surry, three-fourths of Alamance, nearly all of Orange, large vote in Durham, and splendid support in Person, Caswell and Stokes, on the first ballot. If Stedman is not nominated on the first ballot, it is almost certain that he will win on the second. The splendid support Major Stedman is receiving from his old comrades in arms, and ex-Confederate soldiers through out the district, is very gratify ing to him. While some of the counties who have "favorite sons" will give them a compli mentary vote on the first ballot, the second ballot will witness a wonderful break to the Guilford man. The vote of each county in the convention is as follows. Alamance. 44 Caswell, . 18 Durham. 39 Forsyth, 53 Granville, 35 Guilford, 79 Orange. 22 Person, 18 Rockingham, 41 Stokes, 22 Surry, 35 Death of Little Rufus Southern. Walnut Cove, May 23rd. 1910. —The death angel visited the home of Mrs. Rosa Golden and took from them their little son Rufus. He was sick a long time with typhoid ,fever and several other diseases. Dr. Tuttle and a fond mother and the family and neighbors did all they could to save him, but could not stay the hand of death. He was born April 26, 1903, and died April 29th, 1910. making his stay on earth 7 years and four days. His remains were laid to rest atMt. Pizgah burying ground. The burial services were conducted by Rev. Jim Rothrock. Rufus was a very bright and likely boy. He was especially agreeable and was liked by every one who knew him. He will be missed very much by the neighbors and especially by the family. Our, sympathy is with bereaved mother and family. He leaves a mother, one sister and two half-brothers, George Bennett and Reuben Golden, to mourn their loss. But we are comfort ed by knowing their loss is heaven's gain. We miss little Rufus in our Sunday School. He was a faithful and good little boy, and was loved by all who knew him. • A FRItfND.

Insects Destroying Plants Farmers' Union Men and Primitive Bap tists Going Hand In Hand Brim, May 29. Dear Reporter: Our tobacco plants are very short, and we find after the frost the insects are destroying so many plants that the crop will surely be short. Corn is the smallest I ever saw it the last of May on account of so much cold weather. We had a load of blocked whis key to come near us on last Saturday on the Virginia side. It give us trouble last Sunday. Lots of boys and colored people were tanked up Sunday, with their lip in everything. I was told that the man who sold it was named Smith, and had one leg off, but I don't believe the report. If there are any deputy Marshalls in Patrick county I do wish they would stop that blocking about in Virginia near the line. I see Brother Hardy kinder hits the Farmers' Union a lick. I hope Rev. Mr. Hardy will not fall out with our Farmers' Union. It and the Primitive Baptists are going hand in hand about here. He must remem ber the Union has the ups on him. The Union is just a few years old with over 3 million members, and his Primitive Baptist church has now 23 thousand less members than it did when it started or divided. The Union has members all over the United States, and when you go west of the Appalachin Mountain section it is as hard to find a Primitive Baptist as it is to find a buffalo. Come over and join us. Mr. Hardy ? Brim s Grove. Brim's Grove, May 30.- Not more than one-fourth of the tobacco crop has been planted. Wheat crops are looking tine in this section. Rev. S. F. Morton, of Wins ton, will fill his regular appoint ment at Brim's Grove on the second Saturday and Sunday in June. I'here will be a baptizing on Sunday a. m. Drs. J. T. Smith and Sam Flippin, of Westfield, will lie at Brim's Grove School House on Saturday, June 4th, at 4:30 o'clock p. m. t to address, the people on the Farmers' Union. Everybody is invited to come. UNION MAN. Pinnacle Route 2. Pinnacle Route 2, May 30. Fanners are about through working corn in this section. Wheat crops are very good. Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Savage "entertained several friends Sunday. The Rev. Mr. Wilson preached an able sermon at Shiloh Sun day to a large and attentive congregation. A large crowd attended Sun day School at Flat Rock Sunday evening. Mr. Elwood Smith called on Miss Flora Sams Sunday. ROMEO. "It cured me," or "It saved the life of my child," are the ex pressions you hear every day about Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. This is true the world over where this valuable remedy has been introduced. No other medicine in use for diarrhoea or bowel complaints has received such general approval. The secret of the success of Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is that it cures. Sold by all dealers. DANBURY, N. C., JUNE 1, 1910.

Moore's Springs, June 17, 10 A. M. Danbury, June 17, 8 P. M. "Mc"' Appreciates the Enlighten ment of Mr. J. P. Taylor. Editor Reporter : 1 wish to thank Mr. J. P. Tay lor l'or his more elaborate defini tion of "Government Owner ship" as referred to in my re cent letter regarding the Tobac co Trust. Perhaps I ought to have gone more into the details and shown what necessary res trictions should be placed around Government ownership so it would not work in these United States like it does in Russia and Japan. I was however under the impression that no one would think it possible that Govern ment ownership with us would be same as it is in those half civilized and despotic nations. Our people would expect that [ the Government ownership of i The Tobacco Trust would mean the administration of the busi ness somewhat on the same plan as the Post Office business is managed; that is for the benefit of every body. The government would erect ! dry prize and storage houses in every township where tobacco is grown, just as now there is a post office or rural route in every neighborhood. All the details of management will be worked out later on when we get that far along. What we want now is to show our people what Socialism stands for. And am glad Mr. Taylor explains as he does the possible difference in collective i ownership and Government j ownership. Would be glad if Comrade Taylor would go even farther with his explanations. ] He could be of considerable bene ; tit to The Farmers Union now if he will tell us how Socialism would get at the American To bacco Co. Would also like for him to tell us how Socialism would reduce the price of school books also. These things come right home to us, and if Bro. Taylor will en lighten us as to the how of them we will.be grateful. MC. Beautiful slippers. Boyles Mercantile Co. Complete stock of shoes. Boy ' les Mercantile Co.
