Weeks Stay at Well Known and
Popular Resort.
The Reidsviile Review is con
ducting a big voting contest,
known as the Girls' Scout Con

May, and the premium is a two
weeks' visit with all expenses
paid at Piedmont Springs. The

to Piedmont the first week in
June, chaperoned by Mr. and
Mrs. John T. Oliver.
Among the popular young la

the prizes are the following:
Mises Mary Windsor, Edna King,
Mary Hamlin, Inez Wooten,
Kitty May Irvin, Nellie Petti
grew, Gertrude McKinney, all'of
Reidsviile ; Misses Elizabeth
Pratt, India Meador, Carrie

different sections of the county,
and outside of the county, in
Guilford, Caswell and other
counties.
The contest is assuming big
proportions, with Miss Windsor,
of Reidsviile, at present in the
lead.
This promise to be a jolly
crowd, and their arrival at Pied
mont will be awaited with much
expectancy and most pleasant
anticipations.
But Editor Oliver and his good
wife have already sounded the
warning that there will be no
match-making on this trip, and
that the girls must fight shy of
the matrimonial proposition.

The Smefl of Guano.
The commercial fertilizer they
are using now does not stink
as loud as it did years ago.
What has been done to do away
with the smell? It used be that
you could smell a load of guano
a half a mile away, and, like
the offense one Shakespeare
wrote about, "it was rank, it
smelt to heaven." Yes, guano
has been "censored, "expurgated
and toned down, at least the
smell of it has, and it has come
Ito the pass that guano cannot
Ibe made of dead skunk and
! sand. The loud smell never did
| help guano. Monroe Enquirer.

Seriously Hurt.
It was reported here last week
that John Matthews and Will
Crews, two Stokes young men
who recently went to Mount
Airy to work in the rock quarry,
were fatally hurt in a dynamite
explosion at the rock a few days
ago. But the Reporter notices
from a dispatch to the Winston

men were hot seriously hurt, j
only burned slightly about the;
face, and that they walked over!
to Mt. Airy from the scene of
the explosion and had a physi-1

sounds like the explosion was j
not serious to anybody.

Mr. A. J. Fair To Use Dynamite On j
His Farm
Mr. A. J. Fair, of Walnut
Cove, who is one of the most ad
vanced farmers of the county,
will, it is said, plow an acre of
land with dynamite this spring.
Mr. Fair estimates that the cost
of the experiment will be about
S4O, and he thinks he will be am
ply repaid by the thorough sha
king up of the soil which the ex-
Eloding dynamite will effect. Mr.
[. A. Martin, of Danbury, is
also considering the advisability
of the same operation.

An Answir to "A Merchant's
Dream."
i
The dream of the average mer
chant
Is to pile on Profits good and
strong,
To price his wares and yours
and
Then get the law to help him
catch you wrong.
He glories in Profits, Interest
and Rents,
That trio of words coined by
the devil.
To make misery on earth, and
to people hell
He laughed to scorn the Golden
Rule.
He doffs his hat, and bends his
knee
To the hellish rule of gold.
He knows no brotherly love,
His religion, his creed and his
God is gold,
He cares naught for those who
die of hunger and cold.
Yes, "hell is heaven enough
for him."
He demands interest of his
friend,
He collects rents of his neigh
bor,
And takes a profit from his
brother.
He lazily lounges in his soft
cushioned chair,
While all around him in unnum
bered thousands
The poor go hungry and cold
to bed.
! His dream of profits, interest
and rents
Is legalized robbery, that bru
talizes man,
i Estranges him from God and
causes
More suffering, bloodshed and
death
Than all other causes combined.
1 His soul pinched by avarice
and greed
Wilt continue its downward
journey,
Til' en»v.ptured in hell it will
! see
Emblazoned in heroic letters on
, the walls,
! "Profits," "Interests,"
"Rents,"
I Then it will awake to what
might
Have been had it listened to
him,
' Who said "Love thy Neighbor as
Thyself."

QUAKER GAP COMING

Organized and A-ication Made
For Charter - SIO,OOO

ber of the P of Quaker
«ap. J
Mr. R. *g> mith, of Francisco,
was in Monday in consult
ation withcn attorney, and mak
ing application for a charter for
the Big Creek Telephone Com
pany, a corporation which has
just been organized in north
western Stokes with a capital of
SIO,OOO. The incorporators are
J. C. Frans, R. W. George, R.
L. Nunn, H. F. Wright, Millard
Collins, R. E. Smith, Sam Dear
min, J. R. George, and others.
The Big Creek Telephone Com
pany has just recently been or
ganized with R. L. Nunn, Pres
ident: J. C. Frans, Secretary-
Treasurer, and the board of di
rectors composed of several of
the above-named incorporators.
Already about 50 telephones have
been installed, and more will be
placed later. The stockholders
are among a large number of the
best people of Quaker Gap town
ship. It is learned that they
have already secured connection
with the Slate system, • which
places them in communication
with the county seat at Danbury,
and with important outside
points.
Mr. Smith informs the Report
er that a good line will be main
tained, insuring the best service.
The people of Quaker Gap are
to be congratulated on their pub
lic spirit and enterprising move.
Many other isolated sections of
the county would do well to fol
low suit, and thus get all neigh
borhoods of the county in wire
communication with each other,
as well as putting themselves in
touch with the outside world.
Nr. H. H. Reid Suggests Plan For
Working Roads —Want a County
Meeting Called.
Danbury Route 1, April 6.
Mr. Editor:
Please allow me a small space
in your paper to give some of
my views on the good roads
auestion. As there is a good
eal being said concerning the
matter, and nothing doing, there
should be some other sugges
tions made. Now, in the first
place, we should have a good
roads meeting in the town of
Danbury as early as possible,
and try to frame some plan by
which to commence the work.
Now I will say that I believe the
best and cheapest way to get
our roads improved is to hold a
county meeting and talk the
matter over, and then let each
neighborhood hold their meeting
and allot to each party of that
section his proportional part of
the road nearest to him, and let
him work that road when he
can't be plowing on his farm.
Now I know we can make our
roads much better by doing as
my plan says, and I for one will
promise that you shall not turn
your wagon over in a mudhole
in that part of the road assigned
to me. Now, brother good road
men, let me hear from you every
one through the Reporter.
