Iviiti r Danbury Reporter : , i notice in your issue of Dec. , 12th two articles on first page, i uie signed by A. (J. Jones and nne signed liy 10. !. (iilmer and A. ;. Jones, relative to the lo cation nf the hard-surface road which tio State proposes 'o I>ilil«I from the Forsyth line to I >anbur>. Anyone reading these niti dis ran easily see that neither of these gentlemen want a hard surface road from Fulp to Dan luiry—unless it follows ihe old route. No one can blame Dr. Jones fur taking this stand, for if this road should go on the west side of the N. & W railroad it would miss his land entirely. Now, Dr. Jones is a highly respected citizen of Walnut Cove and one of the oldest here. 1 have great re-j spi'ct for him and consider him | one of my best friends, and I believe he is sincere in the I stand he has taken, but I can- j not understand the position Mr. (lilmer has taken. I notice he says: "We are citizens of Wal nut Cove—not Stokesburg." I wonder where he got that "citi-j zen" stuff? He is not even a • citizen of Stokes county. He j votes and pays taxes in Stafes ville, Iredell county, and main tains a home there. Now. 1 have talked with just three men in Stokesburg who really care where the road is located, and if the route west of the railroad is adopted it will net harm a single land owner. The sand-clay road, which is a main street of the town of Wal iiit Cove, will stay j-ist where it is and no one will be hurt or sustain great hardship or damage. Perhaps Mr. Gilmer win wite soon and sU.te just whv he takes Lie s* Mid he iiov;s or why h.> is hutting in, W. H. SAWDERS.
