one of the most popular eve"

in the whole range of the riranvt

tears as is shown by Tony, ami
as the hopeless convict, the
merry tramp, the unhappy
father or the terrible avenger,
he appeals to the hearts of the
people and the dramatic inter

no long waits between, as Mr.
F.olt has a chorus of ten pretty
Japanese maidens who will in

An Industrial Future Is Await
ing the Development Of this
Stream—The Field Is En
tirely New.
The Journal ol Natural Re
sources. published by the North
: Carolina Geological and Eco
nomic Survey, lias the following
in regard to the -urvev of Han
!
i river, which work will be .-tar
ted at an early date :
Stories county, through which
flows that portion of the I >an
river which, by reason of it* fall,
has the greater possibilities as a
' power stream, has entered
officially or. the policy of ascer
taining definitely what its power
j resources are, how they can be
, developed, and what they
promise.
Realising that there is an in
dustrial future awaiting the
power now running to waste in
the Dan, the County Commission
ers have joined with the highway
and school boards to have made a
thorough study of the river and
its powers. To this end these
bodies are cooperating with the
V A ater uesouices Divisi. n of the
Sursev. under the direction of
Thorr.dike Sa\ ihe, ami field rvt .-
will soon begin the work which,
when finished, will be made th»-
sub.iect of a detailed ret.»rt.
This report will be in the na
ture of that recently made follow
ing an intensive study of the
Deep Ri\er, giving full data as
to stream tl >w. dam site* anil
power potentialities, and suggest
ing and planning for the most
effective and economical plan of
development In the Deep river
repot which has attracted wide
attention, the stream was con
sidered and studied and plans
made for its unification as a
single industrial unit to utilize
the hydro-eiectric possibilities of
the river to the utmost. In
that case, however, it was
necessary to consider a number
of existing plants and to reconcile
the ideal treatment of the stream
as a developed unit with their
; operations.
In the case of the Dan river in
'• Stokes, however, the field is
i entirely new. So far as power
development is concerned, it
affords a virgin territory, an
absolutely undeveloped resource
of considerable importance await
ing inclusive scientific study to
j secure the utmost from its treat
ment. The region through which
It flows is isolated from the great
! power company developments
and has no hydro-electric service
iThe river has a good fall and its
run (ff is high, suiting it parti-
I
cularly for the development and
I successful operation of small
power plants up to about 1,000
I
j horsepower.
Although only Stokes county
iis as yet committed to the study
i and survey of the river, which is
i to begin there at once, it is hoped
that Rockingham county will
join forces in the undertaking.
If this is done, it will be possible

T.nerc were during the year
just closed one-teacher schools

policy of the board means that
, i not any of these schools wih oein
operation wiien the schojl
sessions start next fall. Pupils at
i
all these schools will be cared for
, in larger schuols. with conse
quently better facilities and
p teachers.
. Coincident with the decision to
end one-teacher schools, the
, board has adopted a further plan
• in its platform of not having any
teachers in the county who go
, not have state certificates. Tne
, policy is expected to raise materi
ally the average of instruction
throughout Guilford.
Of the two-teacher schools 41
were in operation this past year.
The board would like u start elf
next fall without a single one of
these in operation, but it is find
ing it impossible to make the
whole step at one stride,
i In the case of both one-teacher
and the 'wo teacher schools the
new buildings in many parts of,
the county and the plans of con
solidation are handling the
situation. The county for the past
I
two years has been witnessing (
