DAN BURY REPORTER Volume LI. STOKES MAY GET SOME DUKE MONEY Chairman Williamson Receives Letter From Secretary Of | Duke Endowment Fund. Harry !I. Williamson, chairman of the Stokes t'oun'.y ltoanl of commis sioners, has just received a lot lev from Alexander H. Sands, Jr., the ] secretary cf tho Duke Endowment j who is also i misti'o appointed by! Mr. Duke. Thf li tter slates that the trustees of the endowment lind it necessary t• ■ m ike a survey of the hospital and orphanage situation in the two slates mentioned above, j Included in the letter is a question- j aire for the orphanges and one for the hospitals which the commission-1 ors are requested to till out and re- J turn to the foundation at its New York otlices at once. The quostionaire deals with the scope of work and needs of the in stitution, giving the number of patients cared for in the hospitals, including the number of pay and the number of charity patients and the number of dependent children in the orphanages, etc. The questions also cover the mode of caring for these inmates and how they are supported. Mr. Williamson will till out the questionaires immediately and mail them to the ollice of the trustees of the endowment. It will be remembered that 112 per cent of the $10,0(10, 000 went to the Duke I'niversity and a like sum of ;>2 per cent is for the maintenance and securing of hospitals in North i.ml South Carolina and 1(1 per cent to (lie white and colored orphanages in these two states. The other mon ey is for the building of churches, taking care of aged Methodist minis tors, ete. liy this per cent the hos pital-: ghii.g treatment to the poor will secure upwards of sii 10,000, which fund is to be expended for the treatment of those unable to pay for medieal treatment and for construc tion of new buildings. It is the purpose of James 11. i> ik ■ that ihi' revenues from his power holdings and other business intere is iii North and South Caro lina be expended in these two states for .lie Service of (.lie public, especi ally that part of the public who are unable to care for themselves prop erly. Mr. |)iike included hospitals in hi- trust fund because he believes them indispi usable •institutions, "not old;, by wi> of administering to the comfoit of the sick but in increasing the olli.'iepcy of mankind and pro longing human life." It is not known just how* long it will take the trustees of the endow ment to make this survey but it is thought that in the near future the apportionment of funds to the hos pitals and orphanages in the Caro lianas will begin.

I I .I - - "Scribbler" On Roads And Schools King Route 1. Jan. 10. Good roads and education seems to be the "'topic of this country today. A lot of farmers are dissatisfied with th" "'high taxes and the good roads havi helped to bring them on. There has " i been a lot of nieivy spent for roads and a lot of them built in the time of it. Vet we are in the mud. Some 1 of the people think it best to stop 'I building roads and top-soil these we : j have already built. If this was done * 1 we think it would be a benefit t i every tax-payer in the county. Hut '' when the road commissioners meet they can't carry on business for the > people asking for a road to be built to their door. Some people are talking education and about educating their children, iwhich is one of the best things that can be given them, but every man is ! preparing his boy for an ollice job in some town where the sun won't •strike him. No one is educating t: their boys to farm. Fifteen or i'. twenty years from now who is going 1 ito feed this crowd? I 1 I was talking with a farmer a j few days ago and he said lie did not - ■ intend for his boys to be farmers, s Kvc ry one is growling about high | feed stutT, but you can't expect any f thing except high prices when just I n few people are raising it, and they [are teaching the rising generation - | not to do so.

The i eoinmission routed a road against Mr. Howie's ideas as based on the | road map; it brought the objection h;»,in- to liiiii. The other case came up from Durham when omniission ier John Sprunt Hill took the road from Hurham to Oxford away from the Staggviilc-Stein route and tar ried it by Creednioor. Advocates of the Howie measure, i if Howie decides to introduce it, quote Coventor Morrison as having declar ed the commission's work in run ning away from the Staggville route i "the most outrageous thing done dur . ing my administration." Whether Ins excellency said this or something like it, he will hardly say to the i (inetishoro Daily News.
