DANBURY REPORTER VOLUME-XL. [THE ASSOCIATION Peter's Creek Primitive Bap tists Getting Ready For Festive Gathering. ORDER TO PREVAIL Sheriff and Deputies to Be Present and Keep Down Any Possible Lawlessness Great Crowd Expected. Great preparations are being made by the people of the Law sonville section, and Peter's Creek township in general, for the big Primitive Baptist Asso ciation to be held at Snow Creek church on the third Saturday, Sunday and Monday of this month, which will be on May 17, 18 and 19. Snow Creek church is at Law sonville, in sight of Sheppard's store. It is a pretty, level spot, with plenty of room for the hosts of men, women and child ren, who will come with their wagons carriages, buggies and automobiles, horseback and afoot, from a sweep of country, from all sections of Stokes, from points in Rockingham, Surry and other North Carolina, counties, and from Patrick, Henry and other Virginia counties. The Association is the biggest event of the Primitive Baptist church. It. means the associa tion of the leaders of many churches, for the transaction of , their church business affairs, for preaching, and for social inter mingling. It means the coming together of hundreds of their and for the assembling of great concourses of spectators. ' Good fellowship, hospitality and ;{?ood rations prevail, uf The Snow Creek association Ids expected to be the largest at tended of a like gathering in the fiistor> of the county. The near by landholders, Messrs. Zack jjheppard, Matt Robertson and pothers are taking down their fences in order that there may room for the multitudes of 'vehicles and stock, while all of the big hearted citizens for miles around are whetting their knives for the slaughter of fatted beeves, porkers and poultry. The good women of the neigh borhood will spend many an hour t over their bake ovens preparing cakes and pastries, pickles and dainties to feed their friends . from far and near. It is learned that the Sheriff of j [ the county has been requested to furnish a number of special | officers of the law, who will seei ' that order prevails. It is mighty | hard in great crowds where there ■jis no police protection to main tain order. Hoodlums will creep fin, and rowdies will bring liquor, and often fightings and brawls will disgrace the assemblage and bring disrepute to the neighbor hood. But the gwod Baptists of iPeter's Creek will not permit jany such proceedings at Snow iCreek. Sheriff Slate with a plumber of his deputies will be on ■he grounds every day to see ■hat there is no retailing of liquor, no disorderly conduct, and everybody may go with the assurance of spending a pleasant occasion. __ Union Meeting. A meeting of Young's Farm rs' Union will be held Satur ay night. May 10th, at Young's chool House at 7 o'clock. All J nembers are urged to attend. J. M, ALLEY, President. i THE MUSIC CLUB.

TO BE DATED JULY 7 The Bonds Will Bear Only Five Per Cent. Interest—Other Matters Before the Com missioners. At the regular monthly meet ing of the Board of Commis sioners in Danbury Monday it was decided to issue the road bonds recently voted by Dan ibury, Meadows and Sauratown townships at an early date. jThe bonds will be dated Julv 17, 1913, and will bear interest ! from that date at the rate of five per cent. It is probab'e that they will bring a premium. No trouble in contemplated in the selling of the bonds, as there are numerous applications for them. The amount to be issued by the three townships is §105,000. A petition signed by a good number of the citizens of Peters Creek township was presented Ito the commissioners asking that a new public road be laid out starting from the Danbury road near the residence of Mrs. Leenora McHone bv the wav of the home of W. G. Lawson, Mrs. Martha Simmons and William Bryant to the road leading to Lawsonville. The petition was ordered advertised and will be considered at next meeting. Dr. J. W.

My plan is to get up a contest in the schools and use a score point as a contest and let each township work for the greatest number of points, and the one that gets it is to be the banner township of the county, and then let each school in the township work for the greatest number and the school in the township work for the next greatest number and the school that gets it is to be the banner school of the township. These! are to be settled at our township and county conventions. For every time all are there at; opening. 12 points. For all the teachers being pres- j ent, 2 points. For 75 per cent, of the scholars, 1 point. Under 75 per cent, present charge, 5 points. One teacher absent. 3 points, j Superintendent absent, 10 J points. My plan is not to let the J credits be as large as the debits so they will not be so easily! balanced. I will be glad to hear from those: who will be willing to help thej Sunday School and get their | plans. I fell upon this plan be cause of my work all over the county. People become enthused in growing corn, then why not in our schools ? I. G. ROSS. Uncle Joe Fetzer, of Reidsville, well known as a Piedmont visjto\ was stricken with para lysis a few days ago, from which he died Saturday. He was aged about SO years. BOARD OF EDUCATION. Contract Awarded For School Building In Yadkin Town ship—Other Matters. The Stokes Board of Educa tion was in session several hours at the court house here Monday, members S. P. Christian and J. \Mlson Mitchell being pres ent. A contract was awarded to Mr. -Lem Johnson for the erection of an annex to the Haw Pond school building in Yadkin town ship. A petition from the citizens of the Dalton community was pre sented to the Board asking that a new school district be created in that section. The matter was considered but it was found that owing to the distance from other schools already established re quired by the school law the Board could not grant the new district. Another petition from the citizens of the Mt. Tabor school district, in Sauratown township, was presented to the Board, ask ing that the district be attached to Forsyth county. The matter was deferred until the Superin tendent could confer with the Supt. of Schools of Forsyth county. An estimate for a four months school term was made bythe Board and an examination grant ed for teachers. Sandy Ridge. Sandy Ridge, May 5. - The farmers of this section are through planting corn.

No. 2,025 SUPERIOR COURT Convened At Danbury Tuesday Morning At Nine - Thirty O'Clock. ONE DAY LATE Only A Few Cases Disposed of Up To Wednesday Will Likely Continue Through out the Week. The spring term of Stokes Superior court convened here Tuesday morning at 9:30 o'clock, being one day late on account of the fact that Judge Cook, who is presiding over the court, was unavoidably detained at home. Solicitor Graves arrived Monday. At this writing (Wednesday afternoon) only a few cases have been disposed of. They are as follows : State v. Abe Hayes and Gren ville Oliver, retailing, two cases, defendants pleaded guilty, judg ment pending. State v. Chillie Phillips, lar ceny, bill changed to forcible trespass, guilty, judgment sus | pended on payment of cost. State v. Jonie Nelson, assault with deadly weapon, defendant 1 pleaded guiltv, judgment six I pence and the cost. - State v. Fred Boles, assault with deadly weapon, defendant | pleaded guilty, judgment SlO i and cost. State v. (rid Mabe, carrying I concealed weapon, guilty, $25.00 and cost. State v. W. W. Sizemore, re tailing, old case, defendant showed good behavior and was discharged. State v. Wallace Vernon and Curtis Hutcherson, injury to property; W. N. Flynt, Jr., assault with deadly weapon; Jonah Chatman, retailing; John Ziglar, retailing; John Pruett, retailing; these being under bond from last term of court, appear and show good behavior, which they did, and were accordingly discharged. Capt. R. L. Murphy is fore man of the grand jury, and the court could not have a better one. Capt. Murphy may not appositely be called "one of the boys" as he stays at home with his eood wife and children when other men are searching around and with mouths ears open to catchthe news of all forms of law breaking, but Capt. Murphy will know how to intelligently act when evidence of crime and disorder are laid before the au gust body of which he is the head. He is a maa of strong convictions in right doing, and of the oarage of his convictions. Ex-Judge E. B. Jones, of ! Winston, and Mr. C. 0. Mc ; Michael, of Wentworth, are j among the out-of-town attorneys I in attendance at court. !H HI. Railway People. Attending Stokes Court i Capt. George Stanley, one of I the popular passenger train con ductors of the N. & W. Railway, whose run is between Roanoke 'and Winston-Salem, Mr. Ernest Baldwin, special officer of the same company, with headquarters at Roanoke, and Mr. Will P. Wheeler, the obliging agent of the company at Walnut Cove, jare here this week attending I Stokes Superior court in the l interest of their company. They compose a jolly and congenial trio and while waiting for their company's case to come up for trial have taken a number of outings to places of interest nearby in order to while away the time. The two former mentioned gentlemen report that while fishing in the Dan Monday afternoon Mr. Wheeler had the misfortune to slip into the water very unexpectedly and he has since been confined to his room—not from illness, however, but on account of the ineffiency of the wardrobe he brought along and the absence of a drying and pressing establishment in connection with the hotel. With plenty of sun he hopes, however, to be able to attend court tomorrow.
