THE DANBURY REPORTER.
VOLUME XL.
FINISHES 7TH YEAR
THE BANK OF STOKES COUNTY
Starts Upou the Eighth Year Of
Its Existe.nct, With Every Pros
pect Of Continued Usefulness and
Success.
Last week, on September 9,
the Bank of Stokes County
started upon the eighth year of
its existence, having opened for
business on September 7. 1905,
with a cash capital fully paid in.
During the seven years in which
the Bank has transacted busi
ness at Danbury and Walnut
Cove it has steadily grown in
the confidence and esteem of
the people of Stokes County. Its
deposits have yearly shown a
steady increase, while its sur
plus fund, this being the profits
earned and undivided, over and
above the regular annual dividend
paid to its stockholders, has
grown until today the surplus is
about half as big as the capital,
thus giving additional security
todepositors. The Bank of Stokes
has always been conservative.
Its policy is "Safety Always."
In consequence it has never sus
tained a loss. It does not loan
money on questionable security.
Its stockholders are solvent
men. It is examined regularly
no less than seven times a year,
by competent anil interested
examiners and committees. The
adoption of this safeguard gives
the people whose money we
handle assurance that their fur>ds
are in safe and competent hands.
The Bank of Stokes has always
been under the direction of ex
perienced bankers, who are
close and careful men. The
Bank of Stokes was one of the
few banks in the country that
passed through the 1907 panic
paying cash at all times. This
is a proof of its ability to with
stand the financial storms.,
During our experience of 7 years j
we have come in contact with |
and been of service to hundreds j
of the best citizens, men and
women, of Stokes county, and
this relationship has certainly
been pleasant on our part. We
desire to take this opportun
ity to thank the good people \
of Stokes for their liberal sup-j
port of their home bank, and to
promise that we shall do our!
best to merit a continuance of |
their oatronage.
We are in the best position 1
ever before to give every facility j
and accommodation to our i
friends and customers consistent I
with sound and safe principles 1
of banking. We invite the de- 1
•
posits of every man, woman and •
child of Stokes county, who are
looking for a convenient and safe
place to keep their savings. In-!
terest paid at the rate of 4 per
cent, compounded every 3
months.
Thanking you again one and
all.
Your friends.

ABOUT THE CONVENTIONS
I
Wants Stokes Republicans To Know
About the Fraud Practiced At
Charlotte As Well As At Chicago.
! Mr. Editor :
i
your paper the writer has em
phatically contended that no Re
! publican should be bound by the
action of the Chicago Republican
j convention, held In«t Jun{>, since
j fraud was rampant in practically
| all of its proceedings. But we
' find recently that Chicago is not
the only place fraud ran be per
-1 petrated. The recent so-called
Republican convention held in
Charlotte Sept. 4th. is evidence
that such tactics are now b> ing
practiced at home. lam anxious
that the Stokes county Republi
cans know how the will of the
people all over North Carolina
was thwarted by iheh'gh-handed
method.; at Charlotte, and I
therefoiv attach herewith a clip
ping from the Greensboro News
which gives a part of the fraudu
lent program. This clipping is a
( statement issued by the commit
l tee, representing the progressive
Republicans, which met in
Greensboro Sept. 10th to confer
with a committee of the Pro- j
jgressive party. After reading!
j this statement I want every'
j honest Republican in Stokes j
'cojtity to stop and think—ask'
i
j yourself the question—should 1,
{be honest in politics as well as |
lin business ? I f so, how can I
[support the ticket nominated at 1
.Charlotte? Remember now. itj
J was not men belonging to the
Progressive party who were
kicked out at Charlotte. It was
men who were life-long Repub
licans and who are Republicans
yet, but simply because they will
not vote for Mr. Taft. they are
kicked out, and had to see their
respective counties misrepre
sented instead of represented. ,
Let us all be Republicans in the
true sense of the word and repu
diate such bossism by voting for
| Roosevelt and Johnson and the
j State Progressive ticket.
JNO. W. KURFEES..
The statement referred to
above follows :
We call the attention of the
I people of the state to the fact
that the state committee in mak
ing up the temporary roll of the
delegates at Charlotte committed
more flagrant crimes against the
rule of the people than did the
national committee at Chicago.
The national committee a t
! Chicago unseated enough re
gularly and legally elected deie
| gates to give a majority to Taft.
There it was necessary to un
seat only 70 delegates to accom
plish this dishonest purpose.
Here it was necessary to unseat
, SDO delegates to defeat the will
of the people. To carry out the
machine program it was neces
sary for them t-> out Herod Herod
and thev did it.
"The state committee decided
every contest, without regard
to its merits, against the ex
pressed wil! of the people. They
seated in many counties only
one or two delegates, those who
would agree to vote for the |
i machine program, and denied
seats t ) all others. They denied
seats to whole delegations from
j counties where there were
j contests, a few sample cases
jof which are here given :
( "Buncombe county in a regular
j convention by a majority of (
over 3,(HK) votes elected 35 dele
gates to the state convention.
Those defeated for delegates |
and their friends, 22 in all, held 1
afterwards a rump convention
and sent six delegates to the
convention. The regular dele
gates came to Charlotte and were
denied seats while the six rump
delegates were seated, though
they represented only 22 votes in
all of Buncombe county. These
six bolters cast the full :V> votes
of Buncombe in that convention,
which was more than there
are Taft men in the county.
