WRITES FROM GRANVILLE
As Koch Difference Between tiran

Warehouses at Walnut Cove.

Danbury, N. C.
Mr. Editor:
I have been too busy for the last
month, I really haven't had time
to write a letter for your paper,
but I have a few hours to spare
• this morning, so I will write;
again.
I am again in Granville county
at work. I made two speeches
yesterday and reorganized two
old locals that had not held a
meeting in almost a year. The
union is doing well down here
and all the members are well
satisfied with it.
This county sure is tobacco
mad. In the section lam in now
they pay no attention whatever
to wheat and very little corn is
raised here. It is a fine tobacco
section and the raising of it is
all the farmers care for. But
with all their faults the people
of this county are the most hos
pitable jieople I ever traveled
among. They make the appoint
ments and carry me around to
them free of charge-all they
want me to do is to speak at
their appointments and organize
and they will do the rest.
There is just about as much
difference in this county and
Davidson county as there is
difference in heaven and hell.
When I was in Davidson if I got
to stay all night at a place I
thought I was lucky, and had
to pay for it at that.
Now that we have solved the
fertilizer question in Stokes it is
time we were making our tobac
co arrangements for this year.
It is all right to buy as cheap as
you can, but that is not the fun
damental principle of this order,
for instead of being a buying
people we should be a selling
people, and the time is now here
when we must be up and doing
while it is called today. i
We must make our arrange-,
ments about selling our tobacco
this year. What are you going
to do about it, brother union man ?
Are you going to pool yours, or
just give it away like usual this
year? I want to say right now
that I am against the warehouse
system first, last and all the
time. We can never hope for,
success as long as we persist in i
laying our tobacco down on the
warehouse floors at the mercy of
auction sales. I have been in
formed that there is a movement
on foot to operate warehouses at
Walnut Cove this year. It looks
like a senseless tiling to do es
pecially if union men have any
thing to do with it, for the reason
that we are on the eve of a great
struggle ■ and need to show a
united front, and now for some
of our best men to build and run
a warehouse will injure the
cause more than anything else.,
But surely no union man would i
do this, for the success of this j
organization depends on whatj
„wedo in the next few months.'
I MSt calling a meeting of the
cottnty organization in this issue
of the Reporter and when the
roll is called I want to hear each
local answer. Take off a day
and come whether you are a del- j
egate or not and let's get ready.
for business this fall. *And an
other thing, each look) mult have
credentials with them or else
the will not be seated to our
meeting. This rule WMjjMeed
should sondjpi oed
secretary, but if you don't have I
time bring them with you when •
you come, and send your very
best men, as it will be an im-
portant meeting.
I want to see each member of I
the county executive committee
present and also all the other
officers.
Yours fraternally,
R. L. NUNN. ,

When he removed one bridle the
horse became frightened and
ran away. The buggy came in
contact with a wire fence and
was turned over. Mrs. Stone
was caught under the vehicle,
and at first it was thought she
was seriously hurt, but it was
' found later that she was not in
jured except for a sprained hand
and a few bruises.

SCALDED TO DEATH
A SAD ACCIDENT AT KING
E!even-Ycar-01d Child of Mr. Henry
Hartgrove Meets Horrible Death
—Other News.
Germanton, N. C., April 14.
One of the most shocking inci
dents that has been witnessed
in this community in a long time
occurred about 10 o'clock Tues
day at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
H. L. Hartgrove, when their
bright and loving little 11 year
old daughter, Girtie, while play
ing too near lost her balance and
fell into a very large kettle of
boiling soap fatally scalding her-1
self. Mother was near, pulled
her out at once. Dr. Slate was
called at once and dressed the
burn, which was supposed to be
about one-fourth the surface of
the body. About an hour or I
more after the doctor had gone
she began vomiting and getting
weaker. The doctor was again
summoned, but in spite of all the
skill of the physician and all that
loving hands could do, she expir- ]
ed at 12:45 that night
The burial took place at 4:00 P. {
M. Wednesday. As they lived 1
near the church she was borne
by the pall bearers to the church
followed by a score or more of
her loving little girl friends and
playmates. They will miss her
jso much in the Sunday-school,
I for she filled her place in the
! Sunday-school every Sunday, and
' she said she did not want to miss
J a Sunday this year. Services;
were conducted by Mr. R. J. i
Petree, with appropriate and
sympathetic remarks to one of
the largest crowds of sympathiz
ers ever attending such an occas
ion at Friendship church. We
feel sure the entire community ;
as well as all who learn of this 1
sad accident, extends their deep
est sympathy to Brother and
Sister Hartgrove and two sisters* |
Minnie and Myrtle, in this, their
loss, but we trust Heaven's gain.
May God's blessings—richest
blessings attend this grief
stricken family and help them to
say with Job: ' The Lord gi veth!
and the Lord taketh away, bless- j
ed be the name of the Lord."
The Friendship Baptist church
has unanimously called to the
pastorate, Rev. C. B. Austin, of
Spray, N. C., who will be
gin his work here on the 4th
Saturday and Sunday in April.
He is very anxious and urges all
of the members who possibly can
to attend these services. A
cordial invitation is extended to
everybody to come out and hear
him. Remember the time, Satur
day, April 22, 3:00 P. M., Sun

In Memoriam.
Minnie Jud Carroll, maiden
name Gibson, was born May 25,
1843, died April 10, 1911, aged
70 years, 10 months and 15 days.
She was married to H. R. Car
roll April 10, 1859, just 52 years
between her marraige and her
death. This union was blessed
with 8 children, six boys and
two girls. Four of the sons are
still living, as follows : Messrs.
D. V. Carroll, of Mizpah: G. A.,
E. W. and W. T. Carroll, of
Winston. She leaves these four
sons, 33 grand children and five
great grandchildren, with a large
circle of friends to mourn their
; loss. She was an affectionate
and kind mother, a kind and
obliging neighbor, held in high
esteem by all who knew her.
She died almost suddenly. This
seems to be the way that she
had desired to go, not to suffer
! with protracted illness. She
was making her home with her
oldest son, D. V. Carroll, of
Mountain View. It was heart
rending indeed to the sons and
grandchildren to give up the
Idear mother. The blessed as
! surance that she is gone to that
"house not made with hands,
eternal in the Heavens," and
that they may through the riches \
i.of grace in Christ Jesus meet
! her again, brings sweet consola
tion. But for this blessed hope,
how could we poor mortals give
up our loved ones ?
j She became a Christian in
early life, joined the M. E.;
: church at Chestnut Grove, and
labout the year 1876 joined the 1
| Christian church and remained
a consistent member until the
Lord took her home.
Her sudden departure is a sol
emn warning to us all to "be ye
also ready, for in such an hour
as ye think not, the son of man
1 cometh." The funeral services
! were at Union Hill, conducted by
,the writer, after which her re
! mains were laid to rest beside
her husband, who died several
I years ago. The large congrega
! tion of relatives and sympathi-.
{ zing friends and the beautiful
: floral display was in evidence of
I the esteem in which the deceased
| was held. No ene present could
j doubt her popularity. May we
| all be prepared to meet her in
1 the beautiful beyond.

thusiastic School Workers.
The interest the people of Wal
nut Cove are showing in schools
is very commendable, and is in
pleasing contradistinction to the
policy of some other sections of
the county, where the people are
satisfied with the poorest educa
tional facilities for their children,
and will take every opportunity
to vote down any proposition for
better schools which "costs"
anything. Walnut Cove is mak
ing preparations to build a large
new school building at a cost of
something like $2,500. After
arranging their quarters, they
will employ several good teach
ers, and then supplement the
regular school fund by going
down into their pockets after the
coin.
Walnut Cove has some strong
and enthusiastic school workers.

Yes, by all means do some
