THE DANBURY REPORTER VOLUME XXXIX. PRESIDENT R. L. NUNN WRITES FROM GRANVILLE As Koch Difference Between tiran ville and Davidson As Between Heaven and Hell Thinks No Union Man Ought 1o Help Build Warehouses at Walnut Cove. Oxford April 11, 1911. The Danbury Reporte*\ 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. , j King News. King, April 12.—Mrs. V. L. 1 Smith and small son were saw- ing some board timber yesterday when the mother accidentally split open the son's hand with i jan ax. Mrs>.

Mr. Walter J. White has pur chased from his father, Mr. C. F. White, a lot on Woodland Heights, the new suburb of King, on which he will erect a nice residence in the near future. Mrs. B. J. Stone had a narrow escape for her life last Sunday morning. She and her son, Joe, were starting to pay a visit to a neighbor. Mrs. Stone had gotten into the buggy, and the son started to change bridles. 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.

Ksiger's 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.

SPOT TAYLOR. v UMmm»PoQmb and ClmH> fiiiwn, Walnut Cove, with their 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. P. OLIVER. Sandy Ridfe. j Sandy Ridge Route 1, Apr. 17. —Mr. T. M. Richardson's store burned Thursday night, April 13, with all of its contents. The loss was about SI,OOO. It is not known how the fire or ignated. The young people had quite an enjoyable time at Mrs. J. A. Joyce's Saturday night, April 15th, at a surprise party. Farmers are very much be hind with their work on account of so much rain. The wheat crop is improving some for the last few days. Mr. A. B. Carter will begin a singing school at Roark's school house next Saturday. Ball Game Saturday. The Palmyra and Meadows baseball teams crossed bats on the latters' grounds Saturday, April 15th, which resulted in a score of 13 to 9 in favor of Mead ows.

Keiger'i No. 2,035 COY, | FOR SCHOOLS t/i TO Elf; " NEW BUILDING At a Cost of s2,soo—Several Good Teachers To Be Employed—En 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. News of Madison Route 3. Madison Route 3, April 16- * The outlook here is that there will pe a splendid crop of apples and peaches this year, and as yet I have heard no complaint of scarcity of tobacco plants. * About all of the 1910 tobacco crop in this section has been i sold.
