Gilmer, Winston-Salem, N. C. Dear Sir: In regard to the road from Stuart leading to the North Carolina line, I have Leon in Ric'un >r.d a couple of days in regard to same. I find that the board of supervisors of Patrick county can get the release of the $50.('00 on the highway system through the county. I'nd-T tin- Robersnn not the St;:t«; Highway commi.-Mon will put up $12,500 for work to begin early in spring, ID— -1 am sure that the board of supervisors of Patrick county will put. up an equal amount, which will total $-5,000.

Dear Mr. George: lam in re ceipt of your favor of the 2'. , th from Richmond, and was cer tainly glad to hear that the board of supervisors of Patrick county will be able to get the release of the $50,000 bond issue, and that you thought that you would have no trouble in getting the super visors to put up an additional amount of $12,500 to meet the amount put„ up bv the State High way Commission of Virginia.

I expect they will make an ad ditional bond issue of $15,000,000 for the state, and there is going to be quite a scramble among the counties to get their portion of the additional money that will be coming from this new issue, therefore, I feel that it is import ant to both interests to see that this matter ia pushed, and am going to assure you that Wins ton-Salem is right behind the move and wants to get Patrick county there also. Yours very truly, JOHN L. GILMER. Card Of Thanks. We wish to thank our friends and neighbors for their kindness to us during the illness and death of our father and uncle, J. G. H. Mitchell. THE FAMILY. JUDGE SHAW'S CHARGE TO JURY Pays His Respects To those Who Sit On Road-side At Night In Automobiles With Lights Turned OH". 'Judge Thomas J. Sbaw, of Greensboro, who is presiding over Superior court at Winston- j Salem this week, in his charge i to the grandjury, paid his re spects to persons who go out at night in automobiles and sit in lonely places on the road with lights ott. He spoke in part as follows: One of the greatest inventions ever made by man, said the judge, is the automobile. Tho it is complex, the merest child can make it obey his will, and it has come to be of inestimable service to mankind. But just! as soon as something good is (iis-; covered, up jumps the devil and commences to scheme to use it fur evil purposes. Judge Snaw. j then launched a powerful tali; on j the subject of immorality at the pre/cnt lime, sp aking forcibly of the closed and dark atuomo-; bile found by the side of a dark j and lonely road at night. If, this machine is investigated, he , ■ said, it will be found to contain I a man and a woman, and if one j ' will look carefully, the man is | apt to be a man of influence and j istanding in the community. The' i lower classes and riffraff of hu imanity do not go about their immoral practices in this way. The girls and women who go out in these machines at, night with men are largely responsible, for if they had a proper respect for themselves and their sex they would never consent to a man stopping and turning off their lights. Here the judge told a story of finding a man by the side of the road near his home in the outskirts of Greens boro. "If I should speak that man's name here in this court room," he said, "I do not believe I that there is a man within the 1 sound of my voice that would 1 not recognize it," he said. Judge Shaw said that the abil ity of the prominent men of a 1 city to keep their names out of the daily newspapers is one of : the causes for such practices on ! their part. If the papers would publish their names, they would have to be more careful. In other ways the auto is dan gerous, he said, especially when it is in the hands of a reckless man or a drunken man. The machine cannot think for itself, therefore when the driver is drunk, the machine is drunk, and an automobile upon a public highway in the hands of an in toxicated man is more dangerous than a shotgun in the hands of a crazy man. .

Danbury, N. C., Wednesday, Jan. 10, 1923 BOLD ROBBER IS CAPTURED Man Who Took SIBOO.OO From Siynmerfield Bank Last May At the Point Of a Gun Is In Wentworth Jail. (ireensboro, .Jan. B—The ar re-t of Romer Kee in Rocking ham county gives the solution of i the robbery of the Bank of Sum merfield, near here, last May Kee was confined in jail at Wentworth on a minor charge and a chance remark he dropped in conversation resulted in B. H. Hoskins, director of the bank and Howard -Simpson cashier going to Wentworth and looking him over. "That v s the man", they said, ' positively identifying him as the j wild fallow who walked in the bank, stuck a gun in their faces am) walked out with SI,BOO then ; making lis getaway across a; field and int > a patch of woods, j Tii'' grave charge against Kee: became known here this after-' noun at the tame time it became known that ius Matthews, of i Kornersville, who had bton ar-' rested on charge of being an acce-scr just after the robbery and released fur Tack of evidence,! is sought on a new warrant as an accomplice.

FRENCH TROOPS ENTER GERMANY War Appears Inevitable and United States May Become Involved, According To Au thorities On the Subject. Two wars appear to be impend-' ing in Europe as the result of the 1 breaking up of two conferences J which have been dealing respec- j tively with the Turkish problem ; and the German reparations; tangle. France is now moving her armies into German territory' in an effort to make Germany pay reparations, which the Hermans claim they are unabie to do. Greece and Turkey are mobiliz ing armies for a threatened clash,' which might also involve «reat Britain, which has sent strong naval forces to Constantinople. The Paris conference of premi ers over the reparations mess has broken up definitely and France announces t.he will pro ceed al ne to collect from Cer many. German papers are quoted as saying this vviil mean war. There are about j.j.o Ameri can troops in dr near Coblonz, Germany, who might be between contending forces if war should start again. Saturday the Senate overwhelmingly voted to ask the; president to bring these troops' home at once for fear their presence might cause this coun try to become involved. Ex- Gov. Lowden, of Illinois, was quoted Saturday after returning from Europe as saving that war j appeared certain and this country ] might become'involved. Saturday also apparently wit-1 nessed a breaking up of the: Lausanne conference over the, Turkish problem and it was! openly stated that a definite j rupture would mean the reaump-; tion of war in the Near East.
