Editor Danbury Reporter, I >anbury, N. C. -My dear sir: The people in this section of the county want to know why our sand luy roads are so muddy, while those in Forsyth county are in splendid condition. J Why do the roall men use their Trtavy scraping machines in fall of the year, and clean out gullies and side ditches and pile the red dirt over the sand-clay from 2 to •> inches deep, and make muddy roads over the county. A sand-clay road should get as muddy from summer rains as winter, l>ut it s not the case with all the side ditches emptied out over the roads. If it is necessary to cover hard roads for winter why not hire teams, haul red mud and co\or up the hard surface l-oads, and the streets of Walnut Cove. (here are miles of road crowivd ed up and deep side ditches that i-- difficult for cars to pass each other this bad weather without going in side ditches and some turn over. With kind regards, Yours truly, T. E. DAVIS. The busy farmer will find much of interest in the agricultural short courses which begin at State College on .Tfinnnrv 10 !DISRUPTION OF CO-OPS SOUGHT Must Show Cause Why Asso- Should Not Hi* Dis olved—Raleigh Hearing On February sth.

II I la-re are people in America who j, hold the electric chair as sacred as (| the Cross of Christ. The damp, dark dungeon, the convict camp, tlu lash, the fallows ;and the electric p chair are the lengthened shadows of our system of laws. We used to kill people because they did not think like we thought they ought to. Now ,|, we kill them because they do not act like we think they ought to. }lj America needs a code based on A the Golden Rule, the Ten Com mandments and the Sermon on th • to Mount—truths which thousands of w years of human experience have st proved to be good. In this day of business integrity when men coi- at sider their word as binding as their seal, and place honor above profit. Si we live under a system of laws that re does not recognize a moral obliga tion as a sufficient consideration to St make a contract binding a court re The moral code and the common law seems to have been developed sepa- W rately. it , We live under a system of laws that says a defendant must not Ik- de compelled to give evidence against at himself in court.
