Volume LI. KING CITIZEN HURT BY ROOSTER Griffin Drug Store Is Robbed— Mr. and Mrs. Goff Entertain At Birthday Dinner—Per sonal Items. King, May 10.—Mr. and Mrs. R. G.

T. F. Calloway, a farmer who re sides two miles west of town, had a fight with a rooster last Thursday, in which the rooster got the best J of the fight. Mr. Calloway's chick i ens had been flying over the garden fence and destroying his garden. He had caught one of the hens and was crapjJi'.ig her wings when he was attacked by the rooster which spur red him in the leg near the knee, the spun - was very sharp and went to the bone, inflicting a very painful wound. Mr. Calloway was laid up for a couple of days from the results of his fight. The best baseball game that King has witnessed this season took place on King diamond Friday when the King llighs and Mount Airy crossed bats. This game which was haul fought from the start was very interesting and exciting. The final score stood two and one in favor of the home team. \ l>;;n and Dewry White, of Roan oke, Ya., spent the week end with relatives here. H. !.. McGee, of Thomnsville, was here Saturday looking after ;some business matters. The high school entertainment closed Saturday night.

SCHOOL BUILDING BADLY NEEDED More Than Two Hundred Chil dren At Sandy Ridge Forced To Attend School in Building That Is Actually Danger ous. It is learned that the Stokes sdhool authorities will include in , the budget which is now in prepara tion necessary funds for the con struction of a school building at Sandy Ridge. An effort was made last year to secure a new building there but nothing was accomplish ed. The writer this week had the pleasure, or rather displeasure, of taking a look at the present build ! ing at Sandy Ridge, labout which there has been considerable talk recently. We were informed by the best citizens of that community that teachers dare not hold school in the building on windy days for fear it will collapse. The building was erected by the late J. E. Shelton and other Sandy Ridge citizens from | private subscriptions a good many years since when the attendance was small. It was later purchased by the county and has been used since—that is, when the weather is good and the winds are calm. The building is located on an excellent 'site of four or five acres, but, even 'if the building was new, it would he entirely too small to accomodate the large number of pupils. It is the | opinion of some citizens at Sandy i Ridge that that excellent conjmunitv j will not have any chool at all the icoming school year unless the j Stokes authorities provide a better ! building. "• I 'NO EXCUSE WILL BE ACCEPTED If You Fail to Have New Li cense Tag On Your Car 40 Days From June I—This Gives 10 Days of Grace. Raleigh, May 10.- The 1026-27 ' North Carolina license plates will ; be on sale June 1 and motorists will have forty days thereafter in which 'to equip their cars, ac-oriinir to an ! nouncement by the State Depart ' ment of Revenue. P'ates have al ready been distributd to tne branch stations and other preparations made for supplying the automobile public. The old tags will be out of date after June 30, but the department is allowing ten day.* of grace to take care of the rush th't: always comes with the cl day. After the ten days of grace, however, "positively no excus.?"' will be ac cepted for delaying in the equip ping a car with the tags. Differing from the system he>e*o fore in use, the new plates will carry class letters as well as fig ures. Licenses beginning with A, for the higher-powered cars, will cost S4O; B S3O; C , and E sl2 .50. D will be for dealers and will cost $25 fbr the license and $1 for each additiona' plate. The department expect? to li cense 150,000 cars during the year. B. Pinnix Bailey Files For Clerk B. Pinnix Bailey was here toda from Walnut Cove. Mr. Bailey has filed his name with the county Board of Elections as a candidate for clerk of the Superior court, subject to the will of the Democratic voters in the coming primary Jess Pyrtle, of the Wostfield sec • tion was a business visitor in town / today Danbury, N. C., Wednesday, May 12, 1926 OUR MOUNTAINS EQUAL BLUE RIDGE In Beauty at Least—The Road To Stokes Will Be Prime Favorite For Those Who Have An Hour To Spare. In commenting on the new road being constructed to the county seat and the summer resorts of Stokes,' ■ the Winston-Salem Journal writes as follows: j. State highway forces are busy now preparing another route from' Winston-Salem to the nfountains— not to the Blue Ridge, but to Wins-' ton-Salem's nearest mountains in Stokes county, the picturesque Sauratown range near Danbury, I where are located three watering' places which are destined to become ' the most popular in North Carolina. They are Piedmont Springs, Moore's Springs and Vade Mecum. Construction forces are making rapid progress grading the highway from Walnut Cove to Danbury, and after completion of the grading con crete will be poured, giving Wins ton-Salem as good hard-surface highway to the capital of Stokes 'county as there is in North Caro lina. Engineers have done their j 'work with consummate skill. In; the new highway all of the treach-• erous curves that now make a drive J from Walnut Cove to Danbury a! task for a skilled chauffeur will !>•.• | eliminated. I Already a splendid highway has been built from Danbury to Pied mont Springs and the road fror; j there to Moore's and Yade Mecum! has been greatly improved The drive over the highways as they are to-i , day is one of most delightful in this 'section of the State, but when ihv road is paved to Danbury it wi'l bo : a prime favorite for those who would fly away to the heart of the 'mountains in an hour. Tr.e moun tains of Stokes do not ! :, 't their, heads to the altitude of the B'ue Ridge, but they are equally as beau tiful. There is scenery in the old ' Sauratowns that can hard'v be ex i , celled anywhere. ; With the building of the now road to Danbury the mu-.-es of the peo : pie of Winston-Salem should become ! j better acquainted with the beauti ful mountain country of Stokes. i I : Hail Storm In I Quaker Gap Township i J. T. Vaden, of Quaker Gap town ship, who was here yesterday, stated that his section was visited by a ter rific hail storm Monday. No dam age was done of consequence as wheat has not headed yet. Mr. Vaden reports fine rains in the en tire section around his place and farmers are preparing to plant to-> bacco. The wheat crop is excellent! so far. Stokes Stands 43rd Among 100 Counties In bank resources Stokes county stands forty-third from the top among the one hundred counties of the State. In other words, the banks of Stokes have more money than the b'anks of any one of fifty-six other banks of North Carolina, while j forty-two have more than Stokes. Our bank resources are $102.55 per inhabitant, |a total of $2,127,000. These figures are given by S. H. Hobbs, Jr., of the department of Rural Social Econowi"? -f the University of North Cure inn. Nobody would objecr so .mu.'a to the automobile casualitit;.* if 'hey could be confined to the fool driv ers who cause them.

No. 2,817 SETTLEMENT OF TAXES JULY STH Law Directs That Settlement Be Made In May, But Com missioners Extend Time 60 Days Some Criticism Of Board On their Action. The county commissioners at their last regular monthly meet ing directed the sheriff to make set tlement of last year's (1025) taxes on the first Monday in July next. The hoard originally asked for set tlement on the first Monday in May, but later extended the time sixty days, making "July sth the date fixed. The law directs that the sheriff settle the taxes for the pre vious year on the first Monday in May, hut provides that the time may be extended in the discretion of the county commissioners. There has been some criticism of the action of the commissioners in their request for a settlement of the taxes in July, it being contended that many farmers and others havj not paid their taxes and will be greatly inconvenienced to have to pay at this season of the year, and it is further argued that it ha.* been customary to defer the settle ment of the taxes until the first Monday in September. On the other hand the county commissioners take the view that in I the past, when the settlement of the taxes has been deferred until Sep tember, the county has been forced to borrow money to meet the cur i rent expenses of the county, and II hut those who pay their taxes j promptly are forced to pay interest jon money due the county by delin iquent tax-payers, which would be ! avoided if settlement was nuide earlier. The commissioners further point out that in order to make settlement of the taxes on the first Monday in September it is neces sary to collect them in August, I when farmers are even harder prer-- jsed for money than they are earlier jin the summer. j CIVIL WAR VETERAN PASSES Riley R.
