DANBURY REPORTED Volume L. A TRIO OF FAIR ! REVENUE OFFICERS, Three Damsels Of Walnut Cove Do Their Bit To Enforce the J Volstead Act—The Boys AI- j lowed A Whiff But Nothing J More. , '... i x A* .V I I While strolling down the railroad track, after visiting the mineral spring Tuesday evening, Misses Helen Fulton, Mary Woodruff and Ge rtrude Creakman, three young ladies of Walnut Cove, saw an innocent looking string lying carelessly across the pathway, one end extending into the hedge nearby. Their curiosity Aroused, the girls followed the string, and what was their surprise to dis cover snugly hidden in the weeds and bushes a live-gallon jug filled to the brim with the latest brand of hoojh. True to their feminine grit, they pro ceeded to empty the vessel on the ground. hut left just enough of the fluid in the vessel to smell loudly, which they carried back to town with them. Some of the boys wanted to investigate the character of juice at close range, hut the young "revenues" only permitted a smell, making the boys stand with hands behind while they took a whiff. The attention of Mr. Kholoss, of Salisbury, will be called to the matter, which may either result in the girls receiving medals, or regular appoint ments on the force. Pine Hall News.

Supporting Sheriff ' Regardless of Party King Route 2, June 19.—1 notice u good many of our good men and wo men are calling on the people to sup port our Sheriff regardless of party. 1 am glad to see this but I wonder who these same good men and women voted for in the last election when a good man ran for Sheriff on the promise that if elected he would stand for law and order but he was •defeated upwards of a thi'is-tnd be cause he was on the wrong side. I wonder if our present Sheriff was a Democrat would these s.ir.n good men and good women want the peo ple to vote for him regardless of party. I just wonder. The farmers of this y«etion are badly behind with their 'arm work. The wheat is about 25 per cent short and the corn is about 50 per cent, planted, a full crop of tobacco planted and the people are yet planting to bacco. Mrs. W. H.

C., Wednesday, June 21, 1922 EXAMINATION SOON FOR TEACHERS On July 11 and 12 For State Ex amination—Plenty Of Teach ers For Schools This Year— The Summer School. The regular State examination of public school teachers will be con ducted at the court house in Danbury by Supt. of Schools J. C. Carson on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 11th and 12th. Supt. of Schools J. C.

Mr. Carson is of the opinion that there will be plenty of teachers this year to supply the schools of the county who have met all of the re quirements of the State, and he is anxious that those who expect to teach attend the summer school. A Holy Road. A man from over the river in Dan bury township was asked the other ! f lay : "How is the wad by your place ?" "It is very holy—your car can't travel it." he said. We were puzzled for a moment until we better understood him. H- did not mean that the road had lately become a sacred thing—unctioned, dedicated, blessed—and forbidden to j sinners who ride in Fords, which make j din, clatter and commotion. No, he I didn't mean all this. What he did I mean was that this road was so full {of dangerous routes and depressions that a car couldn't negotiate it. No, | he said, it was not forbidden to sin ners, who were welcome to travel it if they could; but they did so at their peril; and that it was not particular ly unctioned or dedicated or blessed, as he knowed of; indeed it had been roundly cussed numerous times latel> by people who tried to get through it I without disaster.

The Morals Of Stokes County My Fellow Citizens : I Please let me put you fully aware of the great fact that our countv is now rapidly approaching the most critical period in all of her history, the issue of which wi.'i be the greatest forward movement or the greatest back-set that the county has ever known. I allude to the coun ty Republican convention to take place within a short time. It is not A case of Mr. Turpin this or Mr. Tur pin that. If it was of King George of England or of Benedict Arnold, of odious American fame, it would he all the same. It is a case of pure morals. A case of simple right and wrong. This being purely a moral ques tion—a question of right and wromv, I ma sorry to note that the preach ers ot the county are not all heard from. God has placed us upon the walls of Zion as watchmen over the horse of Israel. At the peril of the souls of men and at the peril of our win souls, it is our duty to ring clea>* : »n all moral questions. If we are si ! lent and men. from lack of waning ■ from us. go wrong, they will go down, i but as sure as God lives their blood i will be unop our heads. 1 call atten | '.ion to the prophecy of Ezekiel, 33 chapter, verses one to six. It is n fearful'thing to hold such a position before God. Whether called of God or not, fearful is our responsibility. I feel that the preachers of this coun ty should see to it that the right man is elected Sheriff of the county. I am only one preacher of the county. Mr. Turpin is in the ranks of the Repub lican party. I have never voted for but one Republican in my life to date. I expect to vote, as usual, the -ntire Democratic ticket except that 1 will vote with all my might and main for Mr. Turpin. Some good Democrat said that I would not do this. Yes, that is what I expect to do. Let nn add a word more: would it not be bet ter in this instance that the Demo crats not put a Sheriff on their tick et. We want law enforcement. We cannot hope to get better law en forcement than we have at the hands !of Mr. Turpin. We might not get as igood as we have in that respect. : Let's not swap horses in the middle of the stream. This is a Republican county. Suppose that Mr. Turpin is declined the nomination. Suppose jthat in the outcome liquor is turned j loose on the county as it was only a j short time ago—what will be the sum :of it? The county will get the black est eye that it has had in many moons | and one that will last for many years, j Let us hear from the preachers of the j county as well as all that have tho highest good of the people at heart. | One other word: The day haj passed when a man can justify the liquor traffic. We have too much light on the question for that now—even if it were lawful to make it. How much less can any man of morals, to say nothing of Christianity, since we have a nation-wide law against making it, selling it or even giving it—l say how much less can he justify it? This whole matter will be brought under review at the bar of God. As we deal with it so God, the judge of all the earth, will deal with us. With all gpod will to everybody, I am, Fraternally J. J. EADS, Pastor Danbury Circuit, Methodist Churches. CLEMMONS TO DANBURY ROAD j Force Of Surveyors Now At Work On Last Lap Of West field-Danbury State High way. » A force of engineers and survey ors last Week began the survey of the last link of the Westtield-Danbury State highway, from Clemmons' ford south via Moore's and Piedmont Springs to Danbury. The surveyors, who are in charge of District Engi neer Currier, are now working a con siderable distanee south if Moore's Springs, and will probably reach Dan bury in a very few days.

It is learn ed that the grading forces are now at work a considerable distanee south of Francisco, and the road to Clemmons' ford is expected to be completed by early fall.
