Horse Sticks Wagon Shaft Into Body While hauling wood early today from the side of the mountain just west of Danbuiy a horse and wagon with the driver, Ed Hawkins, color ed, fell from a precipice twenty feet high onto a rock cliff. In the fall a shaft of the one-horse wagon was broken off and stuck into the side of the horse a distance of near three feet, the shaft entering the horse's body just in front of its hip and ex tending almost to its shoulder. To remove the timber it required the services of live men pulling with all their might. The horse, which was a fine animal, i s the property of Mr. N. A. Martin. It will probably not recover as the shaft is thought to have pierced the lung. Scientists have about come to the conclusion that the mounds in the Middle West were built by tho mound builders.—Florida Times-Union. WORK BEGINS ON BRIDGE Large Concrete Structure To Span Creek Just South of Danburv On Walnut Cove Road. A force of men have started work (Mi the large concrete bridge to span the creek just south of llanbury on the Walnut Cove road. The struc ture will be of considerable length' in order to span the deep hollow as well as the creek and will be about thirty feet high. The bridge will cost around s.'{o,ooo. J. M. Kestler & Son have the contract for this bridge as well as the one to be erect ed across the creek two miles south t of Danbury. The work of grading the road be- 1 tween here and Walnut Cove is ex pected to begin in a few days. W. C. Carter has the contract for the grad ing. It is learned that C. S. Austin will have charge of the engineering on the road and bridges. I SEED WHEAT" HARD TO FIND i Some Stokes Farmers Not Able i To "ut In As Much Acreage As Intended On This Ac i count. i Quite a few farnii rs in Stokes county will be unalih to setd as much wheat land as they intended on account of the scarcity of seed, it is stated by those who have given the matter some thought. Those farmers of the county who had seed wheat for sale disposed of their supplies radilv at good prices. Seed houses ask high prices for good seed and many farmers refuse to buy from them. The recent rains have done much to get the land in order for sowing and the work is proceeding nicely now. Some years, on account «>t" high prices of tobacco, farmers have neglected their wheat crops to some extent, but with present prospects for money from a tobacco crop it is likely that more attention will be paid to grain. WILL NOT ABANDON P. & N. PROJECT Morrison Does Not Reveal Plans Made Since Death of Duke. I Raleigh, Oct. —The movement to extend the Piedmont and North ern electric lines from Charlotte to Winston-Salem will not be aban doned because of the death of James 1!. Duke, former Governor Morrison said here today. "Of course M. Duke's death has ' materially affected the plans of the project but I am hopeful that the line can be built anyway," he said. J The power magnate had able as-; ; s-ociates in considering the extension 'of the line, Governor Morrison ad-; ded, and an effort will be made to secure their co-operation in the con ' summation of the projected enter -1 prise. Beyond assuring that the move ment would not be abandoned and expressing hope that it will be con summated, yet Governor Morrison 'could reveal no plans prompted by the death of Mr. Duke. | The projected extension of the line would carry the electric railroad front t harlotte to Winston-Salem via Concord, Salisbury, Lexington and High Point. Mr. Morrison has been actively engaged in promoting the interest of business and indus trial people of the cities and com munities along the proposed route, and assurance of and support have been given. These are expected to aid materially in furn ishing the movement, and the former governor seemed quite hopeful tnat it would be consummated. Quite a Stranger "To-morrow afternoon," said a j minister to his 'congregation, "the funeral of Mr. So-and-So will Ik- held in this church. 1 shall make a funeral address on the occasion, and the man himself will he here, the first time in j twenty years."—Diocesan Record. Danbury, N. C., Wednesday, Oct. 28. 1920 HANGING ROCK IS RE V J V E I) i ; Reported Here 1 hut Morida People Have Purchased Prop-, erty and Will Develop It At Once. i The Hanging Rock . property in Stokes county, composing 1 T«»;t.si> acres of land, recently purchased by Mrs. Cicero Tise, of Winston-Salem, ■at a commissioners sale, is report ed to have been sold iccently by Mrs. Tise to Florida people who have plenty of capital and who pro-! pose to develop the property as a summer resort on a huge scale.

I Rumor has it that the company will erect a three-hundred room hotel, a lake, golf course, etc., and ( that a modern road will be built to the property. I A more beautiful spot for a resort than the Hanging Rock property is not to be found this side of western •North Carolina.

TOBACCO CO-OPS IMPROVE RECORD Members I); liver More Tobacco And (h4 More Money Than One Year Ago. Raleigh, Ot. 27.—-The Tobacco! (iiouvr* Co-operativ • Association! lias received more than 32 million pounds of tobacco from the pre- 'Tit crop, and according to the report i 1 made at the meeting of its board of ■ directors last week, the association j : was 4,500,000 pounds ahead of the 1 1U24 season's receipts up to October 1 1 i The organised tobacco firmer? have i l-o benefited fhis year from ; ti> ■ increased cas i advanc? for their t .ba.'d) which na? been ni:>®n'.i -, U'd I in ( eery belt at 05 »■.»• cent ,>f bank- j er >* valuation. J bis is show i by the fact that $3,375,-102 25 hao b -"n re- j c.-'.v (m: by the membc >•« up to Oct. 11), a-' compared to .$2,441,354.42 for lust season's deliveries up to the same t date. This shows a substantial gain | in deliveries to the association and in payments to its numbers, j Another cash paynent on deliver - j lies of the 11124 crop will be made to the organized tobacco farmers at the. earliest possible date, according to their directors who point to the fact that of the 117 million pounds of to-! baceo received by the associati in during its tirst three years of o; ei jation only "1 million pounds of the j bright tobacco which has been r -j j dried remain unsold and of the j dark-fired tobacco delivered to the .association 20 million pounds of the J redried product are now in hand. The tobacco association this year J adopted a very liberal policy to | wards its members who failed to I make deliveries of tobacco the past | season. No penalty was taken from | ' the deliveries of the present crop to ! ; pay for contract breaking in other ; years. On the other hand, the as- j soeiation will take legal means to ' protect its loyal members from eon-, tract breakers who fail to deliver] this year's crop to the co-operative I floors. Permanent injunctions restrain- i ing eight members of the tobacco as sociation in Vance county from sell ing their tobacco outside the pool were granted the association in I Vance county Superior court. In in stances where sales on the auction . I market had actually been made, [j judgments were given representing ■ five cents a pound on tobacco sold, land in the costs granted were ir./lud ■ ed in each case a twenty-five dollar ' fee for attorneys.

No. 2,794 DANBURY NEEDS TWO MAILS Talk of Motor Mail Service From Winston-Salem—lt Is General Opinion Tha 4 We Can Have Better Service For Ask ing. Citizens from otlvr points who chance to spend ai:v time in Danbury aro always forcibly struck with the fact that Danbury is badly in need of better mail service. Last week L. J. Hampton, the live correspondent of the Winston-Salem Journal, who spent some days here, wrote his paper as follows: "Although only 2X miles from Winston-Salem, this important coun ty seat town, the center of an histor ic old county and center also of a newer and more progressive area by year, Danbury only gets mail from the outside once a day, in the morn ing at 9:30 o'clock. Citizens of this town are anxious to get better mail facilities. There is talk of combin ing in an effort to get a motor mail line from Winston-Salem to arrive here in the early morning, return to the state's metropolis and make Jin other round trip in the afternoon. The distance is not too ..neat to make such a schedule feasible, it is pointed out, and this town and community is now large enough and important 'enough to warrant such facilities for the accommodation of local pop- I • ulation. The only mail from the railroad received here each day leaves Walnut Cove in the early morning. This schedule is good so far as it goes, en abling patrons of the office here to get a morning paper at H:3O, but we need an additional mail in the late afternoon. Walnut Cove has ten passenger trains daily—3 from Wins ton-Salem, 15 from Roanoke, 2 from Greensboro, 2 from lit. Airy—and only get mail in the morning from jone of these trains, namely, the j eight o'clock train from Winston- Salem. Mail arriving on all other 'trains is held over at Walnut Cove I until the next day. Nwspapers from I Charlotte and Raleigh and the even ing papers from Winston-Salem and ] Greensboro can't be had here on the ' same day they are print I. Mail leaves Danbury in the after ' noon at 2 o'clock and the carrier, vh;> always resides here, has to come back Jto hi.s home in Danbury in the late I afternoon, and attention is called to | the fact that it would be an easy matter for the carrier to bring an ! afternoon mail with only a slight additional cost. The need for an afternoon mail and the little trouble and cost it would be is apparent ■ ev ry. ne wh > has given it a thought. Surry County Hus Farm Demonstrator Surry county has secured a farm agent MI demonstrator, says the M: Airy NCH>. IK' nmios from Owens buro. Kentucky. the state where the :'.iu- MIH irr.-.ss grows. Mr. White ihe man . mployed hiis hail wide and varied experience in all ] liases of ;iti: ultural pursuits, lie was rear el pis a farm and later received his higher education ill the I'niversity of Wisconsin. His first activities in the county will lie along the line- of permanent agriculture, the develop ment of graving and pasture lands, .■•.nil the extension >f fa-.'ilii;e> for mure successful poultry raising. Mr. White arrived last week iu time to a.-sist state agent, K. S. Mil Naps in judging the agricultural i xhihits at the Mount Air\ fair, at the same time having the oppor tunity to meet in person main sub stantial farmers of the county. For the present. Mr. White is opening a temporary cilice at l»oh son, but a definite decision as to permanent headquarters has not been made. For live years Surry county has been without a full-time farm demonstrator, a factor so es sential to the progress and develop ment of any agricultural district, and the institution and assistance of an agriculturist, thoroughly informed in the most improved methods of systematic farming is expected to push Surry nearer the front as a successful agricultural and stock raising region.
