Beginning December 1, 1914, the cash-in-advance plan will be adopted by the DANBURY REPORTER, and all unpaid subscriptions will be dropped from! the list. This is the policy adopted by a majority of the, progressive newspapers of the United States. Our! friends will oblige us by helping us carry out the policy. It is best for the paper and best for the subscriber. The expense and labor of collecting small amounts is the reason we take this procedure. Many of our subscribers who have for many years made it a habit to pay up once a year, will confer a favor by forgetting that this rule will apply to all, and no exceptions will be made in the case of any person. Address : DANBURY REPORTER, Danbury, N. C. IT IS SELLING WELL Nearly Half Million Pounds of Tobacco Averaged $12.50 In Winston Yesterdav. 13 I G BREAKS ON, The Large Amount of the Weed j Being Placed On the Market Does Not Affect Prices. Winston-Salem, Oct. 27. The leaf tobacco market was in the j throes of one of the biggest; breaks of the season yesterday,! and when the last pile of tobac-' co was auctioned off and the! results tabulated, it was found; that a total of 414,305 pounds' of tobacco had been sold at an average of about $12.50 per hundred pounds, netting the farmers oi" this section the sum of $52,300. ."1. For several weeks now the local marktt has experienced large breaks, and the golden Hood of money turned loose is having a great effect in main taining thy financial equilibrium of this section. Notwithstanding the heavy, breaks recently, the prices held i up splendidly, and the indications' are that tobacco will continue; to sell at prices that will guaran-; tee the planters a good profit, j And the indications are also that > the sales will be heavy through-, out this week. It was thought several weeks j ago that the rushing of tobacco, to the market in large quantities would have the c-ffect of making ; prices tumble but they have held firm,_Jiotwithstanding the fact, that some large breaks have oc-' curred. i__ • i i Card From R. F. Glideweli. i ;To the People of Stokes County: | I learn that a report is being \ circulated in the county that I have been hired or paid to withdraw from the race for Treasurer and while I am no longer a candidate this report which is absolutely untrue and without any foundation what soever is calculated to damage me, and I desire to take this method of denouncing the re port as false. R. P. GLIDE WELL. When You Visit Winston-Salem Be sure to look for the little white store opposite the market house where you get hot weiners at only sc. Fresh Kitchen Candy only 10c. a pound. Remember ! the place. 15oct4t J. R. BOLLING, Prop. E. 4th street, WINSTON-SALEM, N. C. Mr. Kurfees On the Con stitutional Amendments. Editor of the Reporter: The writer is a member of the Progressive party, but does not j pose as a leader. However, being a man of con- ( victions and not afraid to speak j them. 1 take this opportunity to say publicly that 1 shail support' the amendments at the polls. I believe their adoption will be aj step in the right direction. The j greatest objection seems to be on the taxation amendment—the claim being that too much power j is given the general assembly, j but I for one am not afraid to. trust the general assembly in! this any more than I'd be to al low it many other privileges it; now enjoys. The voter must I remember that a law passed by' the general assembly can easily' be repealed or changed two years hence. So no great harm can befall the country in only two; years if mistakes should be made.! We Progressives believe in the recall, and we can enforce it every two years on the legisla ture. It is obvious to every fair-: minded man that the present, system of taxation is absurd. A system should be inaugurated which wouid give to everv: citizen—rich and poor alike—a square deal. In this connection however, I desire to say, that while 1 admire the stand certain Democratic speakers and writes have taken in upholding the amendments, at the same time I have been utterly disgusted at; some of the tactics employed. l Uuite a few of those who still' harbor prejudice and malice in their bosom cannot finish a speech i ;or an article without casting; reflection upon the men who com posed the constitutional conven tion of ISiIS. But I suppose such men are excusable upon the ground that it is simply a habit, as they have not been able to con duct a campaign in 40 years without hollering "nigger" and 1 "reconstruction." It should count for nothing 'with an enlightened citizenship ! for newspapers or speakers to ap | peal to passions and prejudices to carry forward reforms. When one says the present constitution is antiquated and no longer adopted to this more pro ! gressive age, that sounds states manlike and businesslike, but when the "hatchet has been buried" and one continues to hol | ler "nigger," to scare men into I voting, it sounds like the small j est of the small. In conclusion permit me to say, | that so far as the Progressive party, as an organization, is con cerned, it is only fair to state that since we have had no regu lar state convention this year, in which such matters could have been dscussed, it would be wrong to charge that the party, as such, was either for or against the amendments. Some of the lead ers, as well as some laymen, may | oppose them, but it is my opinion | that a majority of the party will I support them. JNO W. KURFEES. I Germanton, Oct. 23, 1914.

MEADOWS' ROADS Good Progress Now Being Made In rheir Con struction. 15 MILES SO FAR Road From I. (j Ross' Store To Meadows Postoffice To Be Completed Soon Other Work.
