Messrs. Samuel Blancett and John
Frans, Confederate Soldiers, Ser
iously 111 —School To Close With
Entertainment Young People
Given a Dance.
Peter's Creek, Va., March 4.
—As I haven't seen any news
from this section for quite a
while will write a short letter.
The people are very much be
hind with their farm work. But
very little work has been done
with the exception of burning
plant beds.
Mr. Willie Lawson, who was
accidentally shot several weeks
ago, is improving nicely and is
able to get out again by using
his crutches.
Messrs. Samuel Blancett and
John Francis, two of the oldest
men of our community, they
both being old confederate sol
diers, are confined to their beds,
their condition being very
serious.
Our section is being well sup
plied with telephones. Messrs.
W. W. Leak and Eugene Smith
have recently put in new ones,
while there are many others in
the neighborhood preparing for
a new line.
The Sandy Creek school,
taught by Miss Eunice Lipscomb,
closed last Wednesday. Miss
Lipscomb will return to her
home in Nottaway Co. after a
few days visit.
Mr. R. R. Collins gave the
young people of the section a
nice dance last Wednesday
night, which was enjoyed by all
present.
Our school girls here seem to
be very attractive as the Big
Creek boys call right often, es
pecially the Frans Bros.
Miss Jettie Collins spent last
Thursday night with Miss Lillie
Leak.
Miss Dora Padgett has re
turned home after a three week's
visit in Danville, Va.
The school will close at this
place Saturday, March 23rd, with
an entertainment. Prof. J. T.
Smith will deliver the literary
address and a very interesting
program will be rendered by the
school.

Testimony For the Sand-Clay Road
From Guilford.
Guilford's roads in the future
will be sand-clay. This quality
of road will be built almost en
tirely in the country.
Such roads may be built at not
more than one-third of the cost
of the macadam roads and are
believed to be more useful and
durable.
Sand-clay will be used almost
entirely in future road building !
and repairing, and in the course
of a few years, if the system is J
worked out as planned, Guilford's
entire network of good roads will !
be of this material. Not only j
will the new road be built of I
sand-clay, but the macadam
roads will probably be resurfaced
with sand-clay, which will make
an excellent surface for the rock
already down on the macadam
roads.—Greensboro News.
Many sufferers from rheuma
tism have been surprised and
delighted with the prompt relief
afforded by applying Chamber
lain's Liniment. Not one case
of rheumantism in ten requires
any internal treatment whatever.
This liniment is for sale by all
dealers.
FIGHTING SMALLPOX.
The Relative Merits of Quarantine
and Vaccination.
Smallpox is no longer quaran
tined under State laws. For
merly, all contagious diseases
were combatted by means of
quarantine. Smallpox was never
successfully wiped out by quar
antine. It has been entirely
abolished in whole nations by
means of vaccination.
Below are compared
THE RELATIVE MERITS
of these two methods of com
batting smallpox. Quarantine
aims to prevent those having
smallpox from coming into con
tact with, and possibly infecting
others. This is only valuable
after the disease has been
diagnosed. Bear in mind that
smallpox is contagious from the
very first symptoms of the dis
ease. Vaccinated persons exposed
to smallpox, either before or
after the disease has been re
cognized. Vaccination gives every
protection afforded by quarantine
and gives it better. In short,
quarantine only closes the stable
after the horse is stolen, while
vaccination locks the door before
he is stolen.
THE RELATIVE DISADVANTAGES.
Rigid quarantine (and that is
the only quarantine that is
quarantine) protects only during
the period of quarantining. Vacci
nation protects for from five to
fifteen years or longer.
Mild cases of smallpox are
frequently mistaken for chicken
pox or measles. Such mild
cases may transmit the disease
in its most virulent form. These
mild cases are rarely promptly
safeguarded b y quarantine.
Vaccination absolutely protects
against all kinds of smallpox at
all times.
Quarantine is unjust because
the expense of quarantine is paid
by the taxpayers and as a rule
they constitute the vaccinated
population of a community, who
neither need nor derive any
protection from quarantine.
Vaccination incurs no expense
upon the unvaccinated. It af
fords them much protection,
however, by preventing the
vaccinated from propagating the
disease.
The annual loss to the State
from smallpox is approximately
$200,000. A rigid quarantine is
estimated to cost the taxpayers
an additional SIOO,OOO a year.
The latter amount alone would
be more than enough to vacci
nate the entire population every
five years. Then there would
be no more smallpox or quaran
tine. Hi3tory bears out this
statement. Quarantine ever fos
ters smallpox, as it lends a false
sense of security and thereby
encourages a n unvaccinated
population. In view of all this
evidence, any city or county that
so desires may quarantine small
smallpox. If they deem it wise
they may even quarantine head
ache or rheumatism. On the
other hand, they may also have
general vaccination just as easily.
Which will we have?

The Bank b the' Safest Place to

The Bank is the place to keep
your money always. You hard
ly ever pick up a newspaper
without noticing where some
body has been lifted out of their
hard-earned money. Sometimes
while carrying a wad in your

before you know it. Keeping
your money in an old trunk or
chest in the house is dangerous.
It causes thieves and burglars to
lay for you, and sometimes they
will take life and burn property
to cover their tracks.
The Bank of Stokes County

money from the day you put it
in to the day you take it out.
