Volume LI. DRY WEATHER INJURES CROPS JVlrs. Henry McGee,Formerly of King, Dies In Thomasville — Nyws and Personal Notes Of King and Community. King, June B.—Mrs. Henry McGee, ! formerly of this section, died near * Thomasville Wednesday and the re mains were brought back here and laid to rest at Macedonia church on Thursday. The deceased was a good woman and very much loved by all who knew her. Her age was 47. A force of men are at work grad-1 ing for the hard-surface road which 1 i isltrs be built from a point two miles 1 ' east of King to Winston-Salem. The I stretch between here and Pilot Mt.• will be made an oil road, and work j on it is already underway. The continued dry weather in this | section is playing havoc with the j crops. The corner-stone-laying of the new Moravian church here took place i at the church on west Main street on ! yesterday afternoon. A large crowd was in attendance. The Moravian j brass band of Bethania furnished the J music for the occasion. A male ( quartette from Friedburg Moravian | church was also present and their I songs were fine and helped to make the s.-rvice interesting. Bishop Ron- ( dthaler made a very interesting talk. This was one of the prettiest servi ces your correspondent has ever had | the pleasure of attending. Th.- new home of Mr. ('has.

CORNER STONE LAYING AT KING Moravians Enjoy the Day Very Much Hot and Dusty Rut A Cloud Hides the Sun Du ring the Services. King. June B.—The hot dry dusty weather of June 7th did not keep the people from attending the corner stone laying of the Moravian church here. Those who live in King hated so much for the folks who live away to lind it so dusty in the village. The highway is a bed of dust fully one foot thick. The. people from Wins ton-Salem and other places were heard to say: "Isn't the mountain 11iee5e line. Vv'o would be willing to stall i the dust just to get the breeze. Where we live we almost smother." So we decided we were blest, after nil. The good Lord blest us so much a! ihe services that the sun was hid a cloud most of the time. The P oust, which had been blowing like * brown clouds, kept in the -road and went on by. The Friedburg male quartette sang so beautifully. The Bethania hand played "How Firm a Founda tion," with the large congregation of voices blending. Rev. K. A. Hol ton made a talk on the work and the dreams being realized. Rev. Walter Grabs read the history of the village and its religious work of all denomi nations up to the present time. Then the copper box was opened. A Bible, a hymn book, text book, history of the village, and the church, names of members of Moravian Circle, Sun day school teachers, officers and pu pils, a copy of The Danbury Repor ter, with an account of the first brick-laying, a copy of the Sentinel, with the news of the Moravian work, the Winston-Salem Journal with the work of Billy Sunday, The Wachovia Moravian and Blum's Almanac for 1925, were all placed in the box. | The stone was tapped by all the min | isters present. Also Sunday school | superintendents, teachers and secre * ttary and church committee, in the J • name of the Father, Son and Holy K 'Ghost. I k Then Bishop Rondthaler, who is in ■ »,9 84th year, told the audience that | whenever they looked upon this ear- CO-OP LOCAL HITS AT 'BAD' DOG LAW Organized Group Mobilizes Public Opinion to Solve Problems. Raleigh, Juno 5. Proof that no community problem is too small to handle in a meeting of Tri-State Co operative Tobacco Growers is indi in that section of the State, were not county local last week. After con sidering more important business, by far, the Guilford local passed a resolution protesting the passage, during the recent session of the Gen eral Assembly, of a dog and game law. Details of the objectionable law which aroused the opposition of the Guilford local, which was a well at tended meeting of leading farmers in that sction of the State, were not supplied by the daily newspaper ac counts of the meeting. Action on the resolution, however, the press, pointed out, came after B. F. White, field representative of the associa tion, had turned the called meeting into an open forum. Dog and game laws, as every visi tor upon the sessions of the General Assembly know, are the most vexa tious things the average farmer has to contend with. Especially is this true in the counties which have much game. The dog law, since the late J. Frank Kay wrote and had passed "A Literary Gem" has been a far I greater concern than the subject it | self indicates. Kit-ltl representatives report that j the local meetings of the co-ops are becoming, more and more, a clearing house for community problems. In one county recently a co-op meeting considered at length the problem of which route a new hard surfaced highway would be built. Unquestion ably, the organized efforts of the farmers along this line will have a greater influence with the powers j that construct roads and erect school houses than any other single group. The Guilford local meeting last week, which considered the apparen tly inconsequential dog law, by a rising Vote signified its intention to stand squarely behind the tobacco association. Mr. White discussed the intimate details of the co-ops, giving any information asked for, and the I response to his meeting was the un animous renewal of allegiance. | He pointed out that the Associa | tion slogan for 1925 is 200,000,000 pounds of tobacco and he told how, in 1922, the organization prepared to receive and handle a quarter of a billion pounds. This original estimate was, he emphasized, based upon contracts ! in hand, many of which turned out ' to have been "faked" by men who I were more concerned with the money | they werj making than the good of I the association. John Groome, a member of the Guilford local, made some pertinent remarks at the recent meeting. "We do not have to control the market to put this Association on a paying basis," Mr. Groome told his fellow members. The principle of tile association is yiternally right. We. through the co-operative asso ciation, ought to be able to sell our tobacco cheaper than, on the open market. "I want hereafter," Mr. Groome also said, "to see each branch (local) of the association represented at the meeting of the Board of Directors that the business may be carried first hand to the farmers who would be willing to co-operate with something they know is not the dark." ner stone it should remind them of Jesus ( hrist, that He is the comer stone of the true church. His ser mon was most helpful. Then one of the Moravian Foreign Missionaries read his encouraging wishes to us. He can't speak Eng lish, but can read so as to be under stood very distinctly. He enjoys his work immensely. We thought how great it was that other people be sides the English speaking can learn of Jesus Christ and be a helping friend. "Blest Be the Tie That Binds," was the closing hymn. If the corner stone box is opened 50 years from now some of the chil dren present will be there and no matter whether they come over hard surface roads or in flying machines that will alight on top of the church building, they will remember the sweet songs and mtisic floating on the mountain breeze, the cornerstone laying and the dUsity road. Danbury, N. C., Wednesday, June 10, 1925 PIEDMONT OPENS FRIDAY, JUNE 12 "Red Devil" Orchestra Has Been Engaged—The Open ing Dance Saturday Night— Good Season In Prospect.

GREAT WORK BY THE RED CROSS It Is Now Rehabilitating Over 24,000 People In U. S. Left Destitute By Three Recent Disasters. Washington, June ">.—With all re lief work for the families of 51 min ers cntoomcd in the mine explosion of May 27 officially turned to it, the American Red Cross is now rehabili tating over 21,400 people in the Uni ted States left destitute by three re cent disasters. This is the largest number of people for which the Red Cross has administered disaster re lief at an> oi.e ti.ne in this country. Iti addition to its Cumnock relief operation, it is administering relief at Ausable Forks, New York, where a fire on May 14 destroyed a part of the town and left 280 people honie | less. In the three states of Missouri, Illinois and Indiana which were part ly devastated by the tornado of March IS, it is rehabilitating over 24,000 storm victims. There it is j administering a 1 relief fund which probably will exceed $8,000,000. | lied Cross chapters in North Caro lina were instructed Sunday by a telegram from National Headquar ters to institute an intensive appeal to raise .$35,000 for relief work in the Cumnock mine disaster. Al the same time the American National lied Cross announced a donation of 000 to the fund. All administra tive expenses in connection with the ; relief operation there will also be paid by the American Red Cross which will constitute an additional donation to the sufferers, i The Cumnock mine explosion is the third mine disaster in which the AmcPian lied Cross has administer ed relief this year. It has just com pleted n lief operations at Sullivan, i Indiana, where 51 miners were killed on February It), and also at Fair mont, West, Virginia, where 33 were . killed on March 17. The same relief will be given the families of the Cumnock mine vic- Tims as was given in the oilier mine disasters. Its objective will be to place each dead miners family in a position permanently to support it self. This, the American Red Cross states, often involves the establish ment of trust funds for the mainten ance of orphans and widows, or pro viding vocational training for the adult members of the family which will equip them to earn an adequate living. In every case, it is stated, the amount of relief given the family will by based on individual family needs. This the awards will vary in size in proportion to the needs of the family. "The American Red Cross will not close its relief operations at. Cum nock until every family of the mine victims has 'icon placed in a pos« tion to care for itself in the future," is the assurance which Royal Clyde Agne, who is in charge ot' Red Cross relief work, gaw the suffctem today. Dr. C. M. Martin, of Fletcher, Okla., visited Mr. and Mrs. N. O. Petrfe this week. AT QUAKER GAP CHURCH, AUG. 11-12 Stokes County Sunday School Convention This Year Promi ses To Be Best Yet—All Schools Urged To Report. The convention of the Stokes county Sunday School Association will meet with the Quaker Gap Bap tist church, in Meadows township, this year, the date being fixed for Tuesday and Wednesday August 11 and 12. We are expecting to have some of the best Sunday School workers in the State with us this year and to attend the convention will be time well spent. We ask that every Sunday School send a full delegation and let us make this one of the best years we have ever had in this good cause. We feel sure that every commun ity in the county realizes the fact that Sunday schools are the founda tion on which are built the good character of our boys and girls and that religious growth and church ac tivity is largely dependent upon the Sunday School. We are very anxious that every school will make a report this year, so we can see just how we stand as Sunday Shool workers. We will be glad to furnish blanks to every Sun day School Superintendent who will write for them, and we want to urge them to do so in order that every school may report.
