THE FIGHT FOR TREASURER
Saturday's Republican Primaries
Show the Meadows Man Leading
in the Contest, With Mabe a
Close Second, and Some Unia
structed Delegations—Republican
Convention For Next Saturday:
Will Tell the Tale.
In the Republican primaries,
held last Saturday, the onlyi
contest of interest was that be
tween the candidates for Treas
urer, and according to the re-j
ports received by local poli-1
ticians—all precincts being |
heard from except Pine Hall, j
Francisco and Mitchell's—G. W.'
Neal received 24 of the instruct- j
ed vote. There are 73 votes in
the convention, and Neal lacked
a fraction over 12 being a win
ner. But W. M. Mabe, of Dan
bury Route 1, is only about 5
votes behind Neal, and some of
the precincts unheard from may
put a different light on the re
turns. King laid no instructions
except for "the strongest man."
Boyles and Germanton will both
be divided. Some predict that
: Neal will win on first ballot at
the convention to be held Sat
-1 urday, while others prophesy j
1 that later developments will
bring Mabe, Tilley and Tuttle
; into the balance, and that the'
contest will be close and inter-!
1 eating between these four. J
Other candidates whose names
1 were before the primaries are
as follows : R. H. R. C.
W. Sisk, T. S. Petree and others.
There will be no opposition in
the convention to be renomina
tion of Chilton for Clerk, and
J Jones for Sheriff or Slate for
j Register, but it is expected there
i will be new nominations for one
or more commissioners, Mr. A.
J. Fagg, of Danbury, being
mentioned for a place on the
board.
For the Lower House, the
name of Mr. Chap Bodenheimer
will probably be put be
fore the convention, while the
friends of Messrs. Luther Lowe
of Westfield, and R. P. Glide
well, of Meadows, are urging
them respectively for Treasurer.
' A Voter" Suggests Mr. Bodea
heimer For Representative.
The name of Mr. Chap Boden
heimer, business agent of the
Farmers'.Union, is before the
people and being voted for in
the primaries to represent the

TEACHERS' INSTITUTE
DOING GOOD WORK
Professors Howell and Smith and Miss Lindsay Con
scientious and Earnest Laborers in the Cause of
Education--Considerable Addition to the Ranks
of the Attendants This Week—A Splendid Looking
Crowd.
i The Stokes County Teachers' Institute, which has been in
session here since the 11th inst., and will adjourn at the end of
two weeks, next Saturday, is doing some good work. Prof.
; Harry Howell, of High Point, leading in this special training for
the teachers, is in love with his work, and when you see a -person
with this faculty, you see things done. He has been here twice,
counting this time, has become acquainted with many of our
; peculiar conditions, has learned the teachers' greatest needs, and
| they have learned him. Thus, enabled to work in harmony,
I both are benefitted to that extent which might be expressed by
! saying this is the most profitable institute yet held. Of course
j withoutlhe valuable help of County Superintendent Smith not nearly
Iso much could be accomplished. Professor Smith knows his
teachers, and all about them, and is always at hand to aid any one
who needs help. Miss Lindsay, who is a specialist in one or two
branches of the institute work, is a most important assistant,
and with her halp the work moves along with system, precision
and effectiveness. Miss Lindsay, during this her first visit to the
county, has won many strong friendships which will endure,
i It is not the desire of the Reporter to throw bouquets to the
good looking body of teacher-students, but' is constrained to say '
that our teachers will compare favorably with any county's teach
ers in the State. We would not be guilty of making the aa>-
sertion that the ranks are filled with veterans who have done
valiant service in the great fight against ignorance, but it is true
that the discipline and loyalty shown by these young men and
j young women would do credit to those who are battle-scarred in the
noble cause of education. There are youth, beauty, intelligence
; and character, and from the gallery one is proud to look on the
I teachers of Stokes county.
