THE DANBURY REPORTER
VOLUME XXXIX.
FROM m BINKLEY
TO MANY FRIENDS IN STOKES
« Former Pastor M. E. Church Here
Writes About the Country to
Which Conference Assigned Him.
Franklin, N. C.. Jan. 2.
Through the kindness of the
dear old Reporter we hope to
' keep our promise to many dear
friends in Stokes, writing to all
in one letter, giving some ac
count of our journey and of the
country here. We had a very
pleasant journey, arriving at
Dillsboro about 6 o'clock P. M.,
and after a good night's rest we
started early on our journey of
, twenty - four miles, crossing
Cowee Gap to the parsonage,
four miles South of Franklin. We
passed up the Tuchaseigee river
about 8 miles between mountain
peaks. One marked difference
between the mountains here and
those in Stokes county is the al
most entire absence of pines on
these mountains, all of them,
except the highest peaks, being
covered with a heavy growth of
chestnut and oak. There is con
siderable traffic carried on here
in chestnut timber, or wood, for
it is cut into cord wood and
* floated down the creeks and the
Tuckaseigee river to Dillsboro,
not in the streams but in flumes
or troughs, some of which are 12
miles long. These flumes are
owned by a company at Canton,
about 30 miles away, where they
have a pulp mill. We are told
that the people get about $4.00
per cord for the wood.
When we crossed Cowee pass
we were in Macon county, a
country of mountain peaks and
v beautiful vales. There are 17
peaks in this county- that are!
5,000 feet and upwards in height.
~ Two of them, Standing Indian
and Wine Spring Bald, are each
5,500 feet in height. Then there
are 27 peaks that are 4,000 feet
and upwards to 4,999 making the
total number of peaks of 4,000
• and upward 44. From most of
these elevations can be seen the
grandest views of landscape and
topographical features east of
the Mississippi river. Between
these mountain peaks flow many
beautiful creeks, most of which
have Indian names, as Cowee,
Coweta, Cullasaja, Tesenta and
Cartoogechaye. The latter has
beautiful and fertile fanning
valleys and magnificent moun
tain views.
This county is peopled with a
fine type of citizenship. They
raise most of their supplies at
home. We find a great many
people keep sheep, and hate
> counted 60 or more in one flock.
The altitude of Macon county
ranges from 1,900 feet, the low
est point in the county, to 5,500
feet, the highest. The parson
age is on an altitude of about
2,050 feet. We have one church
at an altitude of about 3,600 feet.
We have been moat kindly re
ceived by this people.

TOBACCO SALES
AVERAGED $874 LAST WEEK
The Weed Not Bringing As Good j
Prices As It Was Expected To I
Bring After Christmas.
The Winston tobacco maket
sold last week 851,168 pounds of
the weed at an average price of
$8.74 per hundred.
The Winston Journal of Sun
day says : Some how tobacco is
not bringing as good b price as
it was expected to bring after
Christmas. The darker grade of
tobacco especially is not bringing
an extra good price, but this
may be accounted for by the
fact that the dark grade of to
bacco is not in demand as much
as the lighter grades. The most
of the todacco that had been
marketed, theugh, has been very
dark and for that reason it
should bring a fairly good price.
The lighted grades of the weed
are bringing as much as could be
expected, owing to the fact that
it is very thin and light in weight
The sales ami average prices
by days lap* week were as fol
lows : Tuesilny, 32,267 pounds,
average SB.BI ; Wednesday, 131,-
106 pounds, average $9.05 ;
Thursday, 312,775 pounds, aver
age $8.90; Friday, 252,310, aver
age $9.07 and Saturday, 122,710,
average $8.89.
A GOOD POSITION
Can be had by ambitious young
men and ladies in the field of
"wireless" or Railway teleg
raphy. Since the 8-hour law be
came effective, and since tfhe
Wireless companies are estab
lishing stations throughout the
country there is a great shortage
of telegraphers. Positions pay
beginners from S7O to S9O per
month, with good chance of ad
vancement. The National Tele-'

Way of Road Legislation.
Raleigh, Jan. 9.
Mr. Editor:
I beseech you and the business
men and farmers of Stokes coun
ty to consider the road proposi
tion and if you want any road
legislation get together and de
cide what you want and frame a
bill or inform me what you want
so that I may draw a bill and in
troduce it in the House of the
Legislature.
You understand, Mr. Editor
and gentlemen, that the Legisla
ture cannot make the roads; it
can only make such laws as com
ply with your wishes. Now, if
the people of Stokes county want
road legislation they can inform
me, ana I hope they will not wait
until the last days of the session.
If there is other Legislation
the people want let them send in
strong petitions in order that I
may know that the people favor
such acts.
Yours to serve,
