Page 2 PLAN PROPOSED TO HAVE GOOD ROADS Correspondent Says the Road From West field to Danbury Via Vade Mecum and Moore's Worst In the World-People Of Old Stokes Waking lp For Good Roads. Westfield, Sept. 2. Editor Danbury Reporter: Will you please allow me space in your valuable paper to discuss the bad and good road problem as it confronts us today. I have been reading and hear ing about the good road congress and about the good roads that are being built in other States, and our State, and as I travel I find good roads in several counties--dirt roads at that--that were made years ago, and are good roads yet, and other roads that are made of gravel or other material that jro to make a good, permanent road. As I drive over these roads I am made to wonder on the ignorance of man, for it is nothing but ignorance that keeps our county from having good roads. I am just back from a trip to your town, and I thank the Lord, I got back alive. Of all the roads that ever was, or has been, or will be, that road from my home to Danbury byway of Vade Mecum,; Moore's Springs, and Piedmont, takes the cake. Hills and rocks, gullies and mud holes, every step of the way. If a man don't take a good grip him self he will break his buggy, Jjis horse's neck, the ten commandments and lose his own life besides, and that is not the only rough road in Stokes neither. I don't believe that there are twenty miles of good road in the the county. It is a shame on the citizens of the good old county of Stokes that these condi tions exist. Well, everybody asks what is to be done about it. I have asked myself scores of times and have asked others. I went out to my mail box today to meet the mail carrier, and almost the first thing he named was roads. He said that if an inspector was to go over his route he would be sure to discontinue it. Now it has been voted on in some sections of Stokes to work roads by taxation and was killed by a large majority. I myself am not much a believer in working roads by taxation for this reason: When ever roads are worked that way, yju will find the money always given out quick and lots of roads n-.it worked. I was over in Patrick county a few days ago and passed over a section of road that had not been worked in two years. I"!::;.' work the roads there by taxation. Well you want to know w hat we want. Here is the way we think the roads problem could be solved easily in this county. Get the people to vote a tax upon themselves to build good roads in every township in the county, and then work tiie free labor as being done now. Now we don't m.*an fermanent roads but good dirt roads, turnpikes, well graded, such as they have over in Carroll county, Va. If we had a series of good roads built in the county, well graded, and thrown up in "My mother died six years ago," writes Miss Ruth I Ward, ot Jerseyville, 111., "and left me to care for six I children. I had never been strong; and this, with the shock I of her death, was too much for me. "1 failed in health. 1 was tired all the time and did I not want to go anywhere, nor care for company. I had E the headache all the time and such bearing-down pains. I "A very dear friend advised me to take Cardui, as it H had done her so much good, so I commenced to use it I and now I am in good health." Take CARDUII The Woman's Tonic I Women's pains are relieved or prevented and women's I strength is quickly restored, by Cardui, the woman's tonic. I You yourself know best if you need it, or not If you do need it, do not delay, but commence to use H it at once. Every day of delay, only lets you slide further I down the hill. Don't wait, then, but begin to take Cardui today, for its I use, no matter how prolonged, cannot harm you and will I surely do you good. Write to: Ladies' Advisory Dept. Chattanooga Medicine Co.. Chattanoota, Tens., H lor Special Instructions, and (4-pige book. "Home Treatment lor Women." tent fret. THE DANBURY REPORTER the middle as all roads should be they would be no trouble to keep up, whereas today what roads we have are just wide enough for one wagon and are made over hills or hollows, and I believe the grade on an average in this county would be something like one foot in six. Now, Mr. Kicker, you raise a howl and go out to the cross-roads store and cuss taxes until you are black in the face and then next day hitch up that old mule and struggle along over to town after that bag of 8-2-2 and maybe get home at night worn out and your mule half killed, when, if you had only had a good road you could easily have made the trip in half the time and brought twice as much back with you. Bui S believe the time has come when the people of old Stokes county are waking up to the necessity of good roads. As for us, we are willing to be taxed to build good permanent roads, but if we can't have theni, let's have good dirt roads, and we can easily get them if every man will do his duty. The first thing the Romans did after they conquered England was to build a system of good roads. We have been freemen in this county for years and not a single road to our name, for we can't call the paths we have roads by any means. Now, let us get busy and see if every man in Stokes county will vote to build good dirt roads and then keep them up by free labor. A GOOD ROADS ADVOCATE. NEWS OF QUAKER GAP SIO,OOO UNION ROLLER MILL It Is Expected to Be Built In Time to Grind Christinas Cakes —Wil- liam Lawrence's Fine Acre of Corn-Miss Lucy Moir Very Low - Corn Crops Big and Good and Rabbits Plentiful. Messrs. John Lawrence and 11. E. L. Francis, two good cit izens and farmers of Francisco, attended the meeting of stock holders of the Union Company here Saturday, ar.d while in town did not forget to call on the Reporter, and pass the time o' day. The Reporter learned from them some particulars of the big roller mill now being built on upper Dan river at the Widow Hill's ford. The mill will prob ably be the largest in the county when completed, having a ca pacity of 30 barrels of flour per day. It will also have corn roeks attached. Seventy-five men are now at work building the race, and the lumber is being sawed to build the house. The dam will be of concrete. The capital stock will be about SIO,OOO. and the stockholders will consist of a large number of North Carolina and Virginia citizens, of the counties of Stokes and Patrick. Among the number are the fol lowing: Messrs. W. H. Hart man. J. J. Leak. J. C. Frans, Chas. Blancett. li. E. L. Francis, Thos. Collins. Will Overby, R« bt. Hill, J. T. Smith.

Smith has re cently been very ill, but is now improved. Miss Lucy Moir, the young daughter of Dr. S. A. Moir. is very low. She has the sincere sympathy of many friends in her distressing illness. William Lawrence has the crack acre of corn of the neigh borhood. This young man l>e longs to the Corn Club. It is estimated that the acre will yield 15 or If. barrels of corn, and it is the wonder and admiration of everybody who has seen it. Mr. Lawrence, who is only IS years of age. has also with his brother cut and cured two barns of to bacco. which is very fine. Wil liam will leave for Georgia to en ter school in a few days. James Collins, of Rocky Ford, Colo., died recently and was brought home and buried near his father's home, not far from Peter's Creek, Va. This young man was doing well in the west, when he contracted typhoid fever, which resulted fatally. He was aged 24. and was a good, hardworking boy. Collins & Creasy threshed about 8,480 bushels ot' grain during the season, about 6,360 bushels of which was in Stokes and the balance in Patrick. Mr. John Lawrence has cut five barns of tobacco, and cured three. The curings were made fine. People generally are now cutting ar.d curing in the neigh borhood. The crop of corn is large and fine, and nearly every family has hogs. Rabbits are the most plentiful for years, and the meat supply bids fair to be above the average. I SIX PER CENT.
