in health, day by day, but you
i must work as long as you can
stand. What you need is Electric
Bitters to give tone, strength
1 and vigor to your system, to
prevent break down and build
you up. Don't be weak, sickly !

; j There were fair-sized breaks
lof tobacco at the local ware
; i houses on Saturday and consi
derable animation characterized
the sales. The breaks were
largely of new crops of primings
and leaves though several loads
of old tobacco were included in
the sales. A noticeable advance
> in prices was shown on the old
stock—at least %2 or $3 per hun
dred over the general run of
I prices last winter and spring.
Some of the primings were very
I common and should never have
been saved. But thai* were
I some very desirable piles sold.
These fetched eery satisfactory
I prices, ranging from $6 to 912.
There seem* to be a keen de
mand for all grades and it lodes

geod prices for "this crtfp.

J.H. C. NORMAN DIES
IS VICTIM OF PELLAGRA
Deputy Collector, of Mt. Airy, Who ,
Planned the Famous Raid cn (
Sraithtown, Passes.
Deputy Collector J. H. C.
Norman of "this district, died
August 30 at Mt. Airy, where he 1
had been for several days taking ]
treatment for pellagra, with j
which he had been suffering for |
months. The remains were re- .
moved to the home of the deceas
]
en at Dobson, Surry county,
August 31, where the funeral
services were held and inter- 1
ment took place. 1
Mr. Norman had been the
efficient deputy collector under :
Collector Brown of Statesville ,
for a number of years. He was
48 years old. He is survived by
a wife and two small sons.
. No successor has as yet been
appointed to the office of deupty
collector. It is a very lucrative 1
position and, no doubt, many will '
seek the job. The appoint- (
ment will be made in a few days;
j by Collector Brown,
j Deputy Norman was well
! known in Stokes county. It is (
i
said that he planned the famous
raid on Smithtown a few years
ago, when the illicit distilling in
that section was broken up.
Stock In the Toll Road a Good
Investment.
Mr. Chap Bodenheimer, coun
ty commissioner, leading farmer
and progressive citizen of Stokes
county, gives his hearty sanction
to the idea of x the proposed toll
road to be built from Walnut
Cove to the Buck Island bridge
via Meadows, Danbury and Pied
mont. Mr. Bodenheimer is a
man who has succeededin his own j
business, and therefore his opin- j
ion that the road will pay for!
itself in five years, is worth
something.
There are other leading citi
zens—men of conservative opin
ion and careful judgment—who
not only believe the road will
pay, but are willing to back their
judgment with money. Among
these are J. Spot Taylor, of Dan
bury; Dr. J. Walter Neal, of
Meadows; Dr. John W. Neal, of
Monroe; John M, Galloway, of
Madison; Messrs. Jesse H.
Prather and W. J. Byerly, of
Mt. Airy; Messrs. Jno. M. Tay
lor, T. R. Pepper, G. E. Webb,
of Winston; W. D. McAdoo, C.
G. Wright, of Greensboro; Dr.
W. L. McCanless, Dr. W. C.
Slate, N. A. Martin, of Danbury, j
and many others.
Figuring on the cost of the
road at $50,000, if the summer
visitors alone who spent several
weeks at Danbury and Piedmont
this summer had paid their
transportation charges from
Walnut Cove into the treasury of
the toll road, there would hive
! been a dividend of 20 per cent.
While of course the fees for
travel on the toll road will be
fixed at reasonable rates, the
largely stimulated travel and
traffic will make the revenues
very attractive. It can very!
safely be estimated that the
summer visitors will pay the in
terest on the investment. Then
when the receipts from all kinds
of transportation, passenger,
! freight, express, mail, etc., etc.,
are counted; the most conserva
. tive person must be able to see a
good .investment road.
