Second Section VOLUME XLIII. FREIGHT TRAFFIC THE BEST IN MANY YEARS. Railroads Report Revinal of Freight Business Unequal led Since the Year 1907. New York, Oct. 21-A general revival of freight traffic, unequal*! led since 1007. was reported to day by almost every railroad with terminals here. At the'ofTice of the Erie railroad it was said that tonnage figures for last month showed that the business in September was the greatest in the history of the company. Tonnage on the Baltimore and hio of shipments to New York and for export was said to show an increase of fo percent, within the past 00 days. TheJNew Haven is moving more freight today, it was said, than it has moved for years before. The New York Central lines re ported that business is so good that hundreds of extra men have been added and that deliveries of the j.OOn to !.( 100 cars recently ordered are being hurried. On the Central railroad of New Jersey, the volumn is equal, it is said, to the previous high record the company. Some slight de lay has occurred on this road in handling export shipments, but this is being rapidly adjusted, in the face of a steadily increasing Hood of traffic greater thun any in years.

TO OUR MANY FRIENDS IN STOKES : Our market will be in full swing within a few days now and we are expecting you to come to see us. We are expecting you simply for the reasons that we believe that you know that we have two of the best lighted warehouses in the state, two exceptional good auctioneers, accommodations for you and your stock unsurpassed b> an\ house, an efficient force to handle your tobacco, and finally because The Gorrell boys will get you MORE MONEY for your tobacco than any other warehouse anywhere can get for you. We have been in the warehouse business all our life—long enough to have learned what tobacco is and the highest price each buyer will pay for each grade. It is our business to make every pile bring the h.gh figure, and this we do. Do you know that the highest price paid . a pile ot tobacco on the Winston market last >ear was paid in Farmers Warehouse and that a Stokes man was the grower.' Do you know that we got $496.N8 lor the tobacco that was grown on one acre in 1913, this being by far the highest price ever paid on our market for the yield from one acre? Do you know that the highest average ever made by a Winston warehouse on a day s sale was made bv Gorrells, the average being $23.06 ? We mention these facts merely to prove to you that the dOR RELLS SELL IT HIGHER. Now as for the coming year. We know it is going to take harder work than ever to sell this crop. The to bacco trade is not in as good condition as we had hoped it to be. Theretore, it is imperative on \our p^ t to with men who have been selling Stokes tobacco for years. Our experience is worth something to >ou. We ha\e been selling Stokes tobacco so long that we know it as few others do. We trust you will bring us your first load, and we feel sure we will get you prices that cannot be touched by any other house. We will have a first sale every day after Oct. Ist—and you won t have to wait until late in the dav to sell. Come to see us. We will expect you. Your friends, THE GORRELL BOYS. FIRST SALE DAYS FOR OCTOBER— FARMERS—Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays. »» " " »♦ •• GORRELLS'—Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays. THE DANBURY REPORTER pany declined to state the volume of business over its lines, but in railroad circles it was reported that seldom in the road's history had it been equalled before. Steamship companies have pressed into everv possible craft to carry the enomous volume of ; of exports across the Atiantic and are working the vessels at top ! speed. i Every vessel that sails out of | New York harbor these day for j Europe from clipper to passenger | liner, carries a cargo crowding! her holds. Merchandise exports from this port last month, ac cording to figures made public ' today, broke all previous records. | Their value was $1(53,000,000. In . September, 1011, exports from this port were a little under $02,-j jOOO.OOO. Most of the big shipments com ming to New York are not ex port. it is said, and the shortage of ships has been almost acute. j though conditions to day are re ported better than a month ago. There is hardly a pier where merchandise is not pilled high, i Enormous shipments of steel • and grain have poured ir.to New . 1 York over the New York Central I linos within the past fortnight. - Along the New Haven, especially 1 at Bridgeport Hartford, New 1 Haven an 1 other manufaturing ' centers, the volume of shipments . —mostly munitions—is in inan tities without precedent. Many - solid trainloads of munitions roll DANBURY, N. C., OCTOBER 27, K>ls TELEPHONE TALK Town Fork Telephone Co. Will Probably Extend Its Lities From Walnut Cove To Dan bury. Mr. Dixie Nunn, one of the managers of the Big Creek Tele phone Co., was here Saturday; ; looking after the lines of his com- j i pan.v between Dan bury and Ca • ! pella. i Mr. Nunn stated that it was I probable that arrangements > j would be made next week where-1 I by the Town Eork Telephone Co.. would extend their time from : Walnut Cove to Danburv and ' connect here with the Big Creek ; Company's lines. | It is to be hoped that this line ' will be built as the present tele phone service to Walnut Cove is , very poor. Mr. .lulius J. Priddy left today for Dobson to attend Surry county court as a witness. J . over this line to New \ork city every day, an official of the road said. Even heavier shipments : of munitions, boots shoes, wool lens and other commodities ap pear in prospect, it ts said, as , soon as factories built and build ings reach their maximum ca ; pscity. i Every road entering New York • has ad led many extra men to its • pay roll, it is said, to care for II the flood tide of business. NATION-WIDE EXAMINATION OAY Chief Feature of Annual Tu berculosis Week. One of the chief features of the annual Tuberculosis Week which will be observed this year, December t» to 12. will be a , nation-wide Medical Examination j ! I >av. This announcement has! I just been made by the Natior.ai Association for the Prevention ' of Tuberculosis, which association i ; believes that the next great step |in the prevention of diseases is ; the inauguration of a universal 1 periodical Medical Examination, j Medical Kxamination Day is 1 set for Wednesday, December >.; land will be the first effort on a . national scale to urge an annual; . \ physicial examination for every-' . i one. Plans for the day include an appeal to induce everyone, sick and well, to see a doctor and ,• see whether or not they are in ,'good physical condition. The | scheme includes also the in auguration on the part of fac tories, stores and offices of an [annual physical examination for 3 1 all employees. Thousands of 1 anti-tuberculosis associations, s other societies and dispensaries -jail over the country, are expect -jed to .co-operate in furnishing ! free examinations for those not | | able to pay a physician. s| Tuberculosis week will end r j with the sixtli annuai celebration jof Tuberculosis Sunday. Last year on Tuberculosis Sunday over 100,000 churches in the United States gave attention to the subject of tuberculosis either ( by sermons, talks, money, con tributions or exerc'ses. This year the governors of all the I States will again be asked to i issue proclamations calling at f tention this important means of increasing the knowledge of the! public on the cause of, and means | of avo'ding, tuberculosis.

Stokes County Fair closed here Thursday night of last week. There was a good attendance, considering the rainy weather. The exhibits were 'sxtra good, and the attractions were fine.
