GRIFFIN'S MAKES ADDRESS Welcoming Winston-Salem Del egation To Stokes County Fair At King Last Wednes day. King, Oct. 23. Editor Reporter: I have been asked repeatedly by friends to have published in the Re porter approximately my address of welcome to the Winston-Salem dele gation to the Stokes County Fair, de livered on Wednesday, Oct. 18. They said there were many people who would be glad to read it as they didn't have the opportunity to hear it. The following is the nearest ap proach to the original : Ladies and Gentlemen and Fellow Citizens : Having been practically reared in the Twin City and having been a res ident within her borders for more than 25 years during my youth and young manhood's palmy days makes it a peculiar pleasure and a special delight to me to have the honor, the opportunity and the privilege to greet and to welcome this delega tion of her distinguished, progressive and representative citizens to the Stokes county fair. Indeed it im parts a thrill of joy to be a partici pant in celebrating Winston-Salem day, and to convert this happy and auspicious occasion into a "get-to gether" and a "better'-acquainted" leeting. Many of our sons and dau ghters have left their native heath and have gone to live within the por tals of the metropolis of North Caro lina. Many of them have made their mark in civic and in industrial af , fairs, some of them have achieved | marked success in their various fields |of endeavor and have contributed I their part to build the splendid, mag nificent and colossal city under dis jcussion. Thus you see, ladies and j gentlemen, we have a vital interest I in her future welfare. It is quite a unique distinction to be a dweller within the domain of old Stokes county inasmuch as she is the banner county and the largest producer of high-grade golden leaf tobacco of any county in the State. Since good roads, education, sani tation, co-operation and progress in general an- the distinctive and pre vailing slogans of the hour, we feel that King, Stokes county, is a su burban village of the capitol city of Forsyth county. To prove to you beyond cavil and beyond equivocation that actions speak louder than most eloquent and fluent diction, we now extend to you the freedom of the fair grounds and hand to you the golden and embel lished key that unlocks and gives you access to the municipality of King. DR. ERNEST M. GRIFFIN. "Night Life" At the Tobacco Warehouses The "night life" around the tobac co warehouses in the towns of North Carolina is rapidly disappearing. Good roads and the automobile have all but done away with it. It was a (bustling and wholesome kind of life,, says an exchange, with which w.j don't agree, especially as to the wholesomeness.. Up to a few years since hundreds of farmers spent the night at the warehouses each time they carried a load of the weed to market, arriving at all times of the night and day. Crude bunks with musty germ-filled bed clothing were always available on which they per- Ihaps could snatch a few hours sleep. Free stables sheltered their horses. Rustic dances' done to the music of fiddles and banjoes often entertained the farmers far into the night. The I farmer always returned home with ! reddened eyes from his experience the dust and other things and the loss of sleep. Things have changed. Now the farmer leaves home in the morning ' with a load of the weed on his car .or truck and if he gets in on first | sales he can be home at his work by noon or soon after on the same day, minus the red eyes, the cold, etc., which he invariably got when he had to spend the night. George Shaffer, a. d. w., judgment I suspended. Danbury, N. C., Wednesday, Oct. 25, 1922 ! OFFENDED BY | INSOLENT LETTERS John G. Fulton Says All of the Good People Didn't Vote For Turpin—Correspondents Con tentions Are Not True. Walnut Cove, Oct. 23. Editors Danbury Reporter : I have never felt inclined to write ;for publication. Always have found it profitable to work at my own busi ness regularly. Would not write now, but I have stood the insult to myself, family and a host of good people all over Stokes county just as long as any gentleman can stand it without speaking out in meeting. The insult is the many letters being printed in your interesting paper laying claim to the fact that all good people of Stokes county voted in pri maries and the convention for one Hampton Turpin. If there was any truth in the claim of the many cor respondents or letter-writers, I would hang my head and never speak, but such statements are not true. Be low you will find a list of names that voted for J. F. Dunlap in the pri mary in east Walnut Cove, also p. list who stood up to be counted for D. C. Taylor, besides a good number that supported Dixie Nunn. Dun lap's friends in primary east Walnut Cove, just a few, such as I can re memher, foll iw : M. T. Chilton, J. jH. (Dick) Fulton, each superinten dents of successful Sunday schools | here, Dr. R. G. Tuttle, J. P. Voss, jMrs. Voss, Mrs. J. E. Cookus, Mrs. | Isaac Zimmerman, Mrs. James Wil liams, the writer's wife and daugh j ter, the latter the young woman who made a talk in convention in support of Mr. Dunlap, and many, many other men and women voted for him. Taylor's forces were headed by no less a personage than Mr. J. Wesley Morefield, of our city, a good number voted for Mr. N'unn. On the two sides of our precinct, east and west Walnut Cove, one hundred and fifty people, out of this number fifteen voted for Turpin, the remaining one hundred and thirty five, agreeable to claims made by scribes, are bad peo ple. I tell you fearlessly, all of the one hundred and fifty in attendance on this primary were good people, nothing less, and not a single one of them are unmindful of these in solent letters. Of all the many privileges accord ed us under our form of government, the one nearest my heart is that privilege of personal freedom—act in all things just as you like so long as you stay within the pales of the , law. And I would not for a moment | undertake to dictate to any individ ual. But to Republicans, those among us who are not in position to hear the truth, I would say this : Keep open bo.t'n eyes and ears, the truth is out, by listening you will hear it for yourselves, each and every one of you, and being Repub licans you will need no pursuading on election day as to who to vote for. Truth is mighty and must and will prevail. Those among our citizens who believe what has been written about all "good people" voting for Turpin, when the votes are counted printed results in cold type—Fry's vote, Dunlap's vote, Turpin's vote— will at once begin to look around for the good neighbors with whom they have associated so long, pleasantly, and say where are all the good peo ple ? JOHN G. FULTON. J. G. H. Mitchell 111 At Walnut Cove I Winston - Salem, Oat. 21.—Sam Mitchell, a well known colored citi zen of this city, went to Walnut Cove today to see his old master, Gideon Mitchell, who is seriously ill at his home there. The latter is 87 years old and has been in feeble health for several years. "Mr. Gid, who raised me, was the youngest of thir teen children," said Sam this morn ing. Mr. Mitchell owns valuable farm lands in Stokes and for many years has been one of her leading citi zens. He is a Democrat of the old school. He had passed the three score and ten mark when he mar ried, his wife dying a few years ago, leaving four children. W. R. PETREE ON SHERIFF FIGHT | Makes Appeal For Sheriff Tur pin On Account of Fact That He Has Made County Better and Safer Place. Germanton, Oct. 23. Editors Danbury Reporter : Through your columns we have had several ?ood letters front different parts of the county from men ani women expressing their views on th* political situation now existing in the county, also one particularly good letter from a former citizen, now if Winston-Salem. The argument of this former citizen in favor of Mr. Turpin's candidacy should appeal to every good citizen. He tells you that this man Turpin has made a record for law-enforcement not excelled by anyone in the State, quoting the State prohibition enforcement head. If I had no other appeal to make for Mr. Turpin except that he was not fairly treated by the Republican* in their convention, I would not make an appeal for him, nct«vithsta iding the fact that the Republicans had es tablished a precedent of giving a faithful officer a seccnil term, and the opposition brought ,jc- charges against him on the convention floor, hut to the contrary the man who put Mr. Dunlap's name before the con vention frankly admitted that Mr. Turpin had done his duty. I say that I shall not appeal to you >n . rebuilt of these facts alone, bin I appeal to you, men and women, to elect Turpin that we may have a better county to live in, a better county in which to bring up your boys and girls. • The opposition say that Mr. Tur i pin has done his duty—can they say j more for him ? Then why do they wish to turn him down ? Is it be cause either of the other candidates 1 ould excell him in law enforcement? i If I thought either of them would do so I would be willing to make the, change. I h.'ive been told that many false rumors are being circulated in order to injure Turpin's chance of election. One among them is that Republicans who are for him will desert him atl the l..*t and vote for. Dunlap, and another is that Democrats who are for him will desert him and vote for ' Mr. Fry. Also the opponents of Tur-, pin say, so I have been told, that those who vote for Turpin cannot, vote for anyone else because Turpin ! is an independent candidate. Don't let anyone deceive you in regard to , these matters because the good Dem-' ocrats and Republicans who have stated that it is their purpose to vote for Turpin will do so regardless of their past party affiliation, and be cause they place the welfare and good name of their county above the suc cess of any political party, and, too, anybody who wishes to do so can vote for Turpin and candidates for all the other offices. Let them be i Democrats or Republicans, men or j , women, this is not a political fight, \ but a light for law-enforcement, a ! light to redeem the county's good I name. Let's stand together like ! true men and women and we will i teach both political parties that they must come clean if they want our j votes in the future. W. R. PETREE. Mr. Spruill Popular In Davidson Davidson County Dispatch. In addition to working to put over I the county ticket in the coming elec tion the Democrats of Davidson coun- j ;ty are very much interested in the candidacy of Hon. J. F. Spruill for J Solicitor to succeed Hon. John C. Bower, and it now appears that this county will give him a very flatter ing vote. Stokes county will of course go Republican but Guilford is expected to roll up the usual Dem ocratic majority. It is estimated by the most conservative of the lemv.rs that Mr. Spruill will defeat his op ponent by several hundred majority. Mr. Spruill has an unusually strong following in this county and in ad dition to carrying the full Democratic j vote he will undoubtedly get a good number of Republican votes, being popular with both parties. Mr. E. P. Newsom, a prominent citizen of King, was here Monday attending to business matters. ! BAPTIST MEETING AT WALNUT COVE G. T. Baker and D. V.

Fiddler, i Bad Teaching- For Public Schools We are well aware of the fact that it is an easy matter to find fault, but in some cases it may serve a good I purpose to "butt in" and ask ques jtions about matters of general in | terest. Our attention has been call- Jed to the fact that the new "Physi cal Geography, by Ralph S. Tarr, Professor of Dyna Mic Geology and ■Physical Geography in Cornell Uni versity," is one of the text books used in graded schools throughout the State. J In that book, page 369, chapter 19, on "Man and Nature," we find some thing like this : "The origin of man is not known, although scientists generally agree that he has devel oped, by the process of evolution, from some high form of animal," etc. | In the book of Genesis, 1:26, 27, we read as follows: "And God said, '.let us make man in our image, after I our likeness, and let him have do minion over the fish of the sea. "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him," etc. i So those who believe the Bible do know the origin of man, and it seems to us that there should be ringing protest sent up against teaching any thing in our public schools that gives ■ the lie to God's word.—Monroe En quirer. No. 2,638 MAN AND STILL TAKEN YESTERDAY Lum Sisk Placed Under $500.00 Bond—Thirty-Two Barrels of Beer Destroyed In the Smith town Section Sunday.

The still and a small quantity of brandy were also captured and some beer destroyed. The copper was brought here and placed in the coun ty jail. Sisk furnished bond and was released. Sheriff H. D. Turpin and deputies made a raid in the Smithtown sec tion Sunday afternoon. Thirty-one barrells of beer were destroyed by the officers but the still had been re moved before they arrived. One man was arrested but later released for the lack of evidence against him. IS STOKES COUNTY BEING NEGLECTED? Citizen Wants To Know Why Contract Has Not Been Let For Last Lap Of Danbury- Westfield Highway. Westfield, Route 1, ®ct. 23. Editor Reporter : The survey of that part of the Danbury-Westfield highway lying be tween Danbury and Clemmons ford bridge was begun early in June and was finished in August. Since the completion of the survey the State highway commission has had two lettings of contracts for road con struction in the several districts. If you can will you not explain to the people who are interested in this road why it is that contract for the construction of the road has not been let ? Some say that it is because the highway commission is not interes ted in the welfare of Stokes county; that our . representative in the last legislature voted against the road bill, etc., but some of us not help this and we are suffering for the misdeeds of the other fellow, if the above be true. If some one will pursuade the high way commission to complete our road [wo will be very thankful as we need it badly. INTERESTED CITIZEN'. Parent-Teacher Association Meets A number of interested school pa trons met with the teachers at the school house last Thursday night for the purpose of re-organizing a Pa rent-Teacher Association. Mrs. R. R. King was elected president, Miss McCollum vice-president and Miss Morefield secretary-trasurer. Talks were made by Mrs. J. S. Taylor and Mrs. N. Earl Wall. They emphasized the great importance of teachers and parents working togeth er for the good of the school. Ways of interesting parents who do not send their children to school were discussed. There are many bright boys and girls who are grow ing to manhood and womanhood without an education, when they would make much better citizens if they would attend school and take advantage of the opportunities of fered them. The next meeting of the associa tion will be held on the lfith of No . vember. Another Automobile Accident This Week Berkley Sheppard and Claud Til ley .were each right badly hurt early this week when the wheel broke on a car they.were driving to Walnut i Cove and threw the automobile in a ditch near the home of R. A. Hedge cock. Young Sheppard was hurt i probably the worst, having his nose : broken and being otherwise hurt. The young men had a load of tobacco on the car and had started to Wins ■ ton-Salem.
