ONE BY ONE THE FOES SHALL
BE VANQUISHED.
Elsewhere in the Reporter of
this week appears a communica
tion from Mr. John W. Kurfees,
Germanton, in which he deplores
the recent killing of the proposi
tion for better school facilities at
German ton. But Mr. Kurfees
takes some consolation from the
fact that he and many others
who fought for the schools, tried
to do their duty, ard are not dis
couraged over the first failure,
hut intimates that they will keep
trying till they get the school.
This way of looking at it is the
correct way. Every great reform
only comes by long and j>atient ef
fort. The strong wind of progress
that is sweeping over a majority
of the counties of North Carolina
- the campaign for better schools,
good roads, cleaner homes, higher
citizenship, etc., has not yet
loosed the foundations of our
social i>olity in Stokes county.
And its taking hold here will be
slow, but it is coming -just as
surely coming as that the moon
beamed last night and the sun rose
this morning. The progressive
people in and around (lermanton
should feel proud that they are
among the pioneers in the move
ment for the uplift of Stokes
county. Let them not In? dis
couraged at their first trial the
battle of Bunker Hill did not end
the revolution.
The friends of schools and
roads in Stokes county are con
fronted with listless indifference,
dense ignorance, rank prejudice,
consuming selfishness, back
woods traditions, constitutional
and hereditary stinginess, false
ideas of economy, narrow
views of life, and a hundred
other enemies of progress. But
one by one these foes shall be
vanquished. The younger gen
erations coming on are broader
in their views and conceptions
than we of the present genera
tion. They will build school
houses and run them long terms,
and they will build for our county
arteries of commerce which will
bring our section into commun
ication with the heart of prog
ress and prosperity.
May be we are poor, and can
not enjoy the conveniences of
other more favored sections.
And shall we remain poor be
cause we have not the spirit to
throw off our mantle of poverty
and ignorance?
THE DROUTH AND ITS EFFECT
ON CROPS.
The Reporter has talked with
a good many farmers from
different sections of the county
with regard to the drought, and
its effect on the crops, and ac
cording to the paper's best judg
ment, based oh the reports re
ceived, the wheat crop is an
average one, with corn hardly
below the average, and tobacco
cut short by one-fourth. There
are a few farmers who will
make nearly as much tobacco
as usual, while a few will scarce
ly make any, but these latter
are not numerous. Nearly
every farmer who was anxious
to get out a crop of tobacco,
has set from one-half to four
fifths of his crop. A good many
farmers who use the patent
planters , have finished setting
tobacco and worked it over the
first time, and it is looking well.
The great increase in the num
ber of farmers who plow deep,
using two horses instead of one,
is cutting a big figure during
this prolonged dry spell. The
deep-plowers have good crops
which are able to resist the dry
weather. The one-horse tenant,
who farms in the old way,
merely scratching his land in
stead of plowing it deeply, is
the one who suffers most
In many sections of the coun
ty, gx>d rains have fallen, and
crops are looking fine. In a
few sections, but little rain
has fallen in two months.

It was a long and bloody battle
for life that was waged by James
B. Mershon, of Newark, N. J.,
of which he writes: "I had lost
much blood from lung hemor
rhages, and was very weak and
run-down. For eight months
I was unable to work. Death
seemed close on my heels, when
I began, three weeks ago, to use
Dr. King's New Discovery. But
it has helped me greatly. It is

stubborn colds, hoarseness, la

Oak Grove Items.
Oak Grove June 12. —The Sun
day-school at Oak Grove is kindly
on the drag, it seems that people
in this section are not interested
in Sunday-school this year, but I
hope it will revive soon. Rev. Mr.
Simmons, of Brown Mt. sec
tion, gave us a Sunday-school talk
last Sunday. He also preached an
excellent sermon at 11 o'clock
using for his text an impres
sive subject which is recorded in
the book of Mat. 25-21, which
reads as follows: "The lord
said unto him well done thou
good and faithful servant, thou
hast been faithful over a few
things I will make thee ruler
over many things: enter thou into
the joy of thy Lord." While
Mr. Simmons is not a well edu
cated man, but he certainly
can preach good sermons. The
people of Oak Grove section
are well pleased with his preach
ing. He will preach at Oak Grove
every second Sunday at 11 o'
clock.

On Hearing Before Clark of the
Court Forbis of Guilford County,
the Ruling Was Made That tha
Men Were Illegally Held.
Arrest and bail proceedings in
stituted against Harry P.
Mac Knight, J. W. Sykes, et al,
trading as the North Carolina
Traction Company, with A. S.
Newlin & Co., of Lynchburg,
Va., as prosecutors in an en
deavor to collect a matter of $350,
said to be owing for coal purchas
ed from the Lynchburg firm
by the Traction Company, were
heard last week before Clerk
J. W. Forbis, of Guilford Superior
Court.
The affidavit of the prosecution
company, upon the strength of
which the arrest sof Mac Knight
and Sykes were made, charges
these two men and others of be
ing banded together in a "dummy
corporation" working together to
defraud, and in such illegal man
ner failing to pay for coal pur
chased. The affidavit also de
clares that the North Carolina
Traction Company is not a corpor
ation.
The preliminary hearing, which
was held before the clerk, was to
determine whether the defend
ants in the action could be held
for further action against them
for fraudulent dealing. Justice &
Broadhurst, of this city, con
ducted the case for Newlin &
Co.
The defense of Mac Knight and
Sykes was conducted by Mr. W.
C. Douglas of Raleigh, and Mr.
A. W. Cooke, of Greensboro. A
certified franchise from the State
of North Carolina showing that
the traction company was incor
porated as claimed was intro
duced and Dr. Mac Knight went
on the stand.
At the conclusion of the hear
ing the clerk gvae the opinion
that Dr. Mac Knight ana Dr.
Sykes were illegally held and
ordered their release.
Mac Knight declared that he
was much pleased that the pro
cedings had been instituted and
the reason why he didn't give
bond was to force an immediate
hearing, which he felt confident
would result in his acquittal. He
had in his possession drafts of
the right of way for the traction
line he proposes to build through
North Carolina and Virginia and
said he expected to have it in
operation within two years time.
"I could have given a bond
for $500,000 if I had wished, "he
said, "but I thought that if I
did the matter would delay and
the public would form the opinion
that the North Carolina Traction
Company is a fake.

Interesting Latter From a Little
Daobury Boy.
Danbury, N. C., June 9.
Editor Reporter:
lam a little boy 9 years old. I
am sorry my school is out, be
cause I love to study very much.
My last teacher was Miss Nell
Joyce, and I think she was a
splendid teacher, and certainly
do hope that she will teach for
us again. My studies were
arithmetic, fourth reader, little
grammar, geography and spell
ing. I wish we had 8 months of
school.
I have a pet dog named Shep
which is a fine fox dog, and took
the prize in the races here last
year—at least he would have
caught the fox but somebody
ierked it away. I have two
beautiful pet squirrels which
climb our trees and play on top
of the house. They can beat a
cat up a tree.
