DANBURY REPORTER Volume LI. PIEDMONT SPRINGS HAS BIG OPENING Gay Orchestra and Equally Gay Dancers Make Merry Satur day Night. With the "Carolina Red Devils" Orchestra at its best, and a large attendance of guests and visitors, the opening dance Saturday night at Piedmont Springs hotel was quite a brilliant affair, and a source of much enjoyment to all who attended. The cool evening added much to the delight of the number of dancers, that assembled at the ball-room shortly after i> o'clock p. m., while Ai.e enjoyment of the dancers was expressed by all attending, as the dance grew on, up until 12:00 o'clock. Frankly the "Carolina Red Devils" with th• •ir red hose, ties, and 'ker chiefts, are a bunch of good fellows, and the way they handle sharps and Hats, shows their long acquaintance, with music. And they produce some good music, as was evidenced by the great interest taken in the dance Saturday night, by about couples, and a goodly supplies of stags. The management of Piedmont Springs can pride itself on securing the lied Devils for the season. The attendance at Saturday night's opening dance was large, made up largely of guests from Central arolina towns, including largely, Winsloii-Sulcni, Orocnsboro a n 1 High Point, and the results were favorable according to passing com ments, and otherwise.

STURDY CONVICTS PUT TO ROAD TOIL Able Bodied Prisoners Sent to Highways After Conterence of State Official*. Raleigh, June li>.- Prisoners who are able bodied are now being used by the state highway commission on r ad work, it was state tonight. As a result of a conference between prison officials and highway officials today, the commission contracted for u portion of the remaining able bod ed prisoner.-, bringing the total of prisoners used by the commission to Is;!. Approximately l-*» able bodied i an still are at state prison, il was # * Will the County Seat Get a Road? Stokes citizens will pay into the j State highway treasury in the next i 'twenty d f iys about forty thousand j ad-lavs for automobile and truck license tajts, to say nothing of the gas tax. Less than half of this amount will pay the interest on enough money to build a hard-sur face road to the county seat and the other half would make a handsome sinking fund to apply on the princi pal. At the present rate of increase in cars the tax from Stokes on cars and gas would pay for the road in live years. The tax on gasoline is almost or quite as much as the tax tin cars, as is shown lij the leioids of the highway office. Wheat Prices Are Dropping- Since the big wheat speculators have sold their stocks anil the farm ers of the west are preparing to market another crop the price of wheat has dropped considerably, A ml will nodoubt continue to drop ' until the big dealers corner the new crop. STOKES WILL STAND THIRD We Buy More Automobile License Tags Than Any County In Seventh District Except Forsyth and Surry. Stokes county stands third from the top in the seventh highway dis trict in the purchase of automobiles and licenses. Only Forsyth and Surry counties buy more than we do, while Yadkin, Davie, Wilkes, Wau tauga, Alleghany and Ashe buy con siderably less than Stokes. Considering the fact that automo bile and gasoline taxes furnish all the taxes used by the State for road building and up-keep and the furth er fact that we stand third in the district in number of cars, our coun ty is getting poor recognition from >ur district highway commissioner. The road to our county seat was built by the three townships through which it passes 112 years ago and is narrow, rough and crooked, while the money coming to the county is sche duled to be spent on through roads for tourists that chance to pass across the corners of the county. YANKEE CO-OPS RE-SIGN TOBACCO Con nee tic ut Planters Gain Con trol and New Members In Second Sign Up. The first of the campaigns among: the important co-operative associa-1 tiotis of tobacco growers in the I ni- 1 ted States to sign up for a second j five year contract, has resulted in •i very important victory for co-op , rathe marketing of tobacco in Con necticut, where the farmers have jii;-t put over the second sign u|> ampaign of the Connecticut Valley Tobacco Association. This campaign resulted in a large gain in membership and acreage for the organized tobacco farmers of Connecticut. . Many new members joined the Connecticut Valley Tobac ico Association and some districts which have never taken part in co operative marketing of the Con ncticut tobacco have joined the pool in order to make sure that the higher prices from co-operative marketing •vill be continued for the next five, years. Quoting from the report of this campaign just received at Raleigh headquarters of the Tobacco Grow ers Co-operative Association "The j growers of the Connecticut Valley fully realized the importance of put ting the sign up over. Not only the members but the outside growers openly expressed themselves as be lieving that a failure of the cam paign would mean a calamity to the tobacco industry of the Connecticut Valley. There were many, however, waiting for the eleventh hour to see if they could not let "tieorge do it. Monday (the last day) witness ed a landslide of contracts into the Hartford office. The association will have a larger lor. outage of control of the tol aceo n the Connecticut Valley than it any time since its organigation." Over 400 members did their ut most to get every available aero into the contract which runs until P.tHl. serving as canvassers in the second sign up campaign. While the Yankee farmers of Con necticut have signed up approximate ly 7,". per cent of the tobacco crop in the Connecticut Valley until l'.Ml, the Carolinus- Virginia growers of the tri state pool after marketing an average of l">0 million pounds a year through their association have sot . their mark for deliveries of 200 , million pounds from the 10'J5 crop. Germanton Couple Wedded Here Saturday Paul Westmoreland and Miss Hope Holes, both of the C.ornianton sec tion, drove over to Danbury Satur day and were married by Justice N, A. Martin as they sat in their auto mobile in front of the court house. To judge by the character of the plays, it would seem that the army of modern dramatists is composed largely of shock troops.—Norfolk Virginian-Pilot. Danbury, N. C., Wednesday, June 17, 1925 OFFICERS GET TWO MORE STILLS One Outfit Taken Near Sandy Ridge Appeared To Be Brand New—Considerable Beer De stroyed. Sheriff J. Frank Dunlap and Pro hibition Agent P. L. Flint-hum cap- i lured two stills the past week, one I in the Sandy Ridge section and the t uther near Hartman. Considerable 2 beer was destroyed at each place. 1 rhe still captured at Sandy Ridge j was in the furnace, just ready to ] have fire placed under it, but no one I was seen near it. The entire outfit 1 appeared to be brand new, never ' having been used before. The still i taken near Hartman was found hid- I den in a brush pile. 1 SCHOOL OPENS NEXT MONDAY | For Teachers of Stokes ami j Surry Counties —Supt. Hon-. dren Gives Particulars. There will be a joint summer school for Stokes and Surry court-1 tics at Pilot Mountain opening June , 22, and running for six weeks. Prof. Guy Ilouck. Principal of Pilot Moun tain High School, will be the director of this summer school. The gram-; mar grade work will be taught by Miss Nellie Ilines, ..f 402 Sunset Hrive, Winston-Salem. X. C„ and the. primary work will be in charge of Miss Wra Wharton of !>L2 C hestnut Street, Greensboro. X. The entrance requirement- have been changed >" that applicants must now have four full years of high school work, and there is no provision for entrance by cxatnina-, tion. Applicants must be eighteen years of age and must enter during , the first three days of the school. 1 Holders of Provisional 11. Provision- 1 al A, and temporary certificates will be admitted for the renewal of their certificates. If graduates of Stand ard high schools attend a county I summer school they will only receive a Provisional Momentary certificate since two units of summer school work are required now for the Kle mentary H. certificate. It would be better for graduates of standard schools to attend a State summer school. Holders of Klementary A and R certificates may obtain renew al credit by attending a county sum mer school but it would be better for these attend a State Summer School. No teachers will be approved next year who do nut hold a State cer tificate. Therefore, I trust that all prospective teachers will make ar rangements to secure a ccrtiticate. K. S. lIKNDRKN. Supt.

A Ford roadster occupied by two young men and 25 gallons of whis key passed through Danbury early last night going south. Officer P. L. Flinchum was expecting it and gave chase. Two miles south of Danbury the Ford had gained such momentum that it was unable to negotiate the sharp curve around the house that sits up on the hill above, known as the Henry Dirrett place, and off it went down the high embankment, turning several some saults. The officer went down to the Ford expecting to find both men dead, but they had freed themselves from the wreck and gone. The Ford was almost demolished. The liquor left in the car was poured out. Early today officer Flinchum went over near the scene of the wreck and found one of the occupants of the car who had slept in a barn and was just preparing to leave for h:s home in High Point. He gave his name as Payne, and is being held in jail here pending a hearing. The other occupant of the car stopped at ! a hom.' at Meadows and secured ' some clothing early this morning 'nit I has n>t been heard from since. Loth 'men hoi their clothes badly torn up in the wreck. It was almost a I miracle that they escaped unhurt. PENSIONS FOR OLD VETS HERE Being Sent Out By Clerk t ourt A. J.
