Turpin Writes About the Recent Convention Here Pinnacle, N. C., March 22. 1'.'20. Editor Reporter: I had the pleasure of visiting Danbury last Saturday anil seeinir the Mi'Gec-Jonos convention pulled iff. Not a Turpin man rciagnized, i That list of delegates was a slap i the faces of my friends and me. 1 . n-'ticed that Uncle Harden is trying to come back, and also C. M. June-;. They got a dandy start by capturing ; the convention. Nothing wis do-je until uncle Harden got Jlu-re. ! noticed that long after the first I- II rang, they seemed to be waiting for somebody and when be arrived with his secretary and their pockets full of resolutions, the second bell ranir at once and the convention got down to business. It was a Harden McGee-Charlie Jones convention fnnn the start, believe nu\ with no frills or fancies on it, and Hamp Turpin and his ! friends fared hard. I noticed they i appointed their own resolution's . committee and didn't ask for a vote. ; luis was so much like Uncle liar.l, who believes in fairness all the time. The convention belonged to Uncle Hard from the time he stepped out of his Buick till he turned the steam on his roller. When he stepped on the gas, she began to do business ' They hit the Highway Board hard, honest men of both parties who arc 1 1 doing the best they can, but the rea son the people are kicking about building roads and high taxes is be cause the highway had to do it all at once Our two noble representa tives voted against roads at Raleigh • and this put the State agaiv.-t us. I Surry and the others got two yea's ahead of us Out of four hundred votes in the legislature, only five were cast against the tylite-wide road bill and McGee and Jones fur nished two of them. So Stok's county furnished two fifths of the opposition against North Caroliim'.- roads No wonder they want tlv highway board turned out, so \v can have no more roads. McGee and Jones stand for fair ness in elections, and principle, uti: who stole Hamp Turpin's election? What of a square deal did old Hamp get, and then him and his followers insulted till they wanted us again i to help them get back in? In your 1 organization why did you take o much pains to see that all Turpin men were eliminated. McGee is a . fair man. He says a man who will cheat a man out of his vote will steal corn. What will men do who will steal nominations and trade off pi • pie's rights and privileges People have grown tired of anything tha« sounds like McGee and Jones ail vice. Mrs. Taylor didn't fail to tell the McGee-Jones convention where t > get off. She is a Republican all right, but when they fail to put up | men who will enforce the law and No. 2,K07 TWO BRIDGES TO DISPOSE OF County Steel Bridges Being i Replaced By Concrete Struc tures—Seven Island Ford Citizens Bid For One of thi Steel Bridges. Stokes will soon have two large steel bridges at her disposal. These are the bridges at IlairstonV ford on Dan river and the one at Dan liury across the ereek. The Stat'.'* is building concrete bridges to re place these steel ones and they wil! he of no further use at their present location. The citizens who reside north of the Seven Island ford on Dan rivef have petitioned the County High way Commission to place one of the bridges across the river at Sev-n Island ford. The citizens residing in the sec tion mentioned would he within two or three miles of the county seat with a bridge at Seven Island for.l, but at present they are compelled to travel •>, X or 1(1 miles to get to Danbury. And this is their route to the tobacco market. It is a great hardship on the tax-payers of that section, and everyone hopes to se-s them get a bridge. Dorothy Rothrock Entertains Friends Walnut Cove, March 22. Dorothy, the attractive little dau ghter of Mr. and Mrs. A. T. It >th ro-.'k. entertained twenty-five of her little friend, at a lovely birthdav party Saturday afternoon in cele bration of h.-r tenth anniversary, at her home on North Main street. The Rothrock home was never more beautiful, thrown ensuite. with decorations of palms, ferns, hyacinths and violets used profuse ly. Many delightful rallies wciv enjoyed bv the children, aft. r which they were invited into the dining room, lovely in its decorations of pink and white. The birthday cake, with ten candles on crystal salver, ~ surr.'unded with violets and candy, Easter eggs adorned the center of the table, with silver candle sticks and pink candles at each end and white and pink curled and twisted ribbons suspended from the chan 1- elier to four corners of the table, and tied in bows. Mrs. Rothrock, assisted by Miss Nannie Jones and Mrs. T. Aderholdt served a delicious ice course, carrying out the color scheme in the refreshments. Fav ors were given of heart shaped satin covered boxes of Martha Washington Candy. The little hos tess received many beautiful gifts. Is It"New Or"Old? The newest joke on Henry Ford i which has come to our notice i» in a little leaflet issued in Kwanju, Korea, entitled "Topics in Rrief,'' published by M. L. Sv.-inehcr.rt, an American, who is out there engaged in missionary work." Topics in Brief" says: "The largest factory in the world producing baby rattlers is located in Detroit and is owned by a man call ed Ford." Evidently a sens" of humor exists Mining missionary intluences in th • region. are not good men, she will vote thi* Democratic ticket. Uncle Harden harped on the Surry Australian bal lot. He ought, to know all about it. as he went through and had the ex perience. It must be '• ad on bi*c Rosses, as he was beat by a school boy who was never heard of before. Why didn't McGee tell the people the Surry ballot law was framed by Republicans, introduced in both houses by Republicans, and is a Republican law, and nobody is curs ing but old worn out bosses, and didn't Meckins preach for ii. al! over the state? How many Repub licans from Surry went to Raleigh to ask fir the repeal of this law? In conclusion, I e.sk my friends all over Stokes count.- lo stand fum and steady. We hold the balance of l>ower. Stand for your principle. You were. not voting so much for 1 Ilanip Turpin, but for a principle. We will stand for our principles 'till 1 death. H. D. TURPIN.
