Page 2 S READ THIS, INTELLIGENT MEN OF > STOKES, AND PONDER OVER IT. \ At the time the election was held for voting the C C good roads bonds a great number of our farmers could J f not see wherein they would be benefited and voted y against the bonds, but the vote in Greensboro and C C High Point, even though not a dollar of the bond 2 M issue was spent in either city, was almost unanimous j j for the bonds and the election was carried by a large I C X majority. Today you cannot find an intelligent farm- J W er in Guilford county who is not an enthusiast for J good roads. Why this great change? Guilford coun- C X ty now has 120 miles of macadam and gravel roads J f and our progressive farmers have reaped rich bene- J fits financially because of our good roads. They can C X now come to market any day, rain or shine, and J # haul heavier loads than they used to and with less J ) burden to their stock, less wear and tear to their C X vehicles. The man who lived ten miles from town J # before we had good roads now in reality only lives 1 J five miles from the city. In other words, it takes C \ him no longer now to travel the ten miles on maca- J # dam roads than it took him to travel five on the old j bad roads; and now he can come, no matter if it has C % been raining for weeks, and travel in comfort to him- # # self and with ease to his stock. J # Farm lands have increased in value because of our C V good roads and farmers are enjoying the greatest J # prosperity in their history. They can bring their 1 # products to market with the greatest ease and with C \ so much less loss of time, have these benefits raised # % taxes? Not a cent. Our tax rate was 79 cents when 1 y we had mud roads and it is 79 cents today. We pro- % X pose to keep what roads we have in repair and to # C build more. Good roads are no longer an experiment, 1 £ but are an assured success from every viewpoint. % X It is not a question with any county if they can build # C the roads, the question is can they afford not to build 1 X them.— C. C. McLean, Secretary Greensboro Chamber • \ X Commerce, in Newton News. / SURRY COUNTY NEWS SHOOTING IN MOUNT AIRY G. B. Cody Fires Twice at Floyd Alien —Deputy Marshall Carroll Arrests John Johnson On Charge of Blockading. Mr. G. B. Cody, of this town, shot twice at Mr. Floyd Allen in this city last Saturday even ing. Mr. Cody waived examina tion before the magistrate and the matter will be tried in the superior court at Dobson. The street reports vary as to what led up to the shooting. Some days ago two young men who are relatives of Mr. Allen were arrested in this city and Mr. Cody assisted in making the arrest. Mr. Cody says that one brought him word that Mr. Allen had threatened to shoot him on sight the first time he saw him. Mr. Cody says that on last Sat urday evening Mr. Allen stopped him on Main street and asked him some questions about ar resting the young men and at the same time made a movement as if attempting to draw a pistol. It was then, he says, that he got out his gun and began to shoot-one ball striking Mr. Allen in the breast and another burnt the .skin on his neck. One re port says that the ball that struck Mr. Allen in the breast hit his pistol and thus did him no injury, another report is that he had a piece of metal, something about a saw mill, and that it was this metal that saved his life. Certain it is that Mr. Cody was shooting to kill. Mr. Allen's side of the trouble is that he had been to town and was on his way home when some one stepped from the sidewalk and with an oath began to shoot before a word had passed be tween them. He says that he had not noticed who he was passing until the shot was fired. After the shooting Mr. Allen came back to town and had a warrant issued for Mr. Cody. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Blizzard died at the home of its parents on Rockford street Monday afternoon of meningitis. Mrs. F. D. Holcomb is spend ing the week with her sister, Mrs. Will Boon, at Gibsonville, N. C. Mrs. Boon is very sick and is not expected to live long. She has heart trouble of long standing and her death is expect ed at any time. Miss Margaret Chapman, of Spartanburg. S. C., is the guest of Miss Josie Prather. Miss Briggs Prather returned Saturday from a visit to friends in Spartanburg, S. C.

Penn, Jr., graduates in short hand, type writing, H. L. Wall graduate in bookkeeping. Mrs.F. L. Townsend, of Leaks ville, is visiting friends in this city. Mrs. Townsend is the wife of Rev. F. L. Townsend a form er pastor of Central Methodist church, and has recently written a book entitled "In theNantaha las" which is meeting with well merited success. Two blockaders nabbed and brought to justice is the reoort of Deputy Marshall G. A. Car roll, who returned yesterday from a trip to the Mt. Airy and Dobson sections of Surry county. One of the unfortunates upon whom the officer laid hand is John Johnson, who was arrested near Dobson on the charge of illicit distilling. The prisoner was given a hearing before the United States commissioner and was bound over to the federal court. The bond was fixed at S3OO and Johnson gave it. The other is L. R. Whitaker, who was arrested near Mt. Airy. Whitaker is wanted at Abington, Va., for blockading. He also gave bond for his appearance at the higher court. I ~ " SAVED CHILD FROM DEATH.
