Surry anl a part of other counties every two weeks, was questioned this week as to which roads in this section had most trft'ie on them, and he unhesitatingly gave it to the Danbury-Walnut Cove highway. This salesman, who travels the Boone trail from Winston-Salem t Elkin once eaeh week, stated thi.t he saw at least two ears on the Dan bury-Walnut Cove road to one on t'*.e Boone trail. He explained that live counting of traffic on this rovl was done right near the city limit.* .at Winston-Salem, which gives it a b!g boost, but that out from the city a few miles traffic was com paratively light. Heavy traffie wis four. I ..n the Nt Ary Winston-Salem road an 1 on the Walnut Cow-Walkerton road, hut the Stokes road has more cars an! trucks than any rural road in th.

MYSTERIOUS FIRE OCCURS HERE Oil From Two Kerosene Lamps Destroys Table in Home of Mr. and Mrs. John Taylor and Building Is Not j Ignited. Quite a mysterious tire occurrei here in the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Taylor last night, and every one is wondering how it started an i how it stopped. In the front hall of the Taylor home there was a console table with a large mirror hanging just above it. On the table were two i j large kerosene lamps, each con taining probably a quart of oil. Yesterday afternoon Mr and Mrs. Taylor left home before night, look ling about the home carefully for tire before going and locking all the doors and windows. When they returned home soon after dark : l was found that the table had been destroyed by tire, both lamps ;>.n i the large mirror smashed and lying on the rloor in the ruins and the fire had gone out of its own accord after 'virninic the table and the half gallon of kvr>ene oil on the wood tVor of the hall. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor are positive that they did not light the lamps before leaving as it was before night ami no one coul I have gone in the home, as every door and win dows uvre just as they left them. S i the origin of th" t ; re an 1 th ■ fact that it went out without igni ing thi' building after burning .i half gallon of oil on the i'.oor will pr bablv remain a mystery. | ______ 3,274 Lives" Taken By Auto In So Weeks, I Washington.

I Want Danbury Road I Hard Surfaced To Virginia Line 1 After the highway between Wal- ! nut Cove and Danbury is hardsur faced, there should be no delay in extending the permanent road con struction to the Virginia line beyond Danbury. This is the view as ex i'r-.- ,-ed by Stokes county citizens in Winston-Salem the past week. They ' were free to declare that with th • extension of the main thorofatv to' the Virginia lir.e. it would not only mean increased .'traffic, but would bring a larger amount of produce ►and tobacco from the mountain Vir- . gina counties to the Winston-Salem' market.—Dailv Sentinel. !, Terry Simmons Bitten By Mocassin Terry Sinynohs. citizen and far mer of Big Creek township, was 1 here early Mcniday morning in j search of medical aid, having been bitten by a highland mocassin.

Public Hospitals. t Lexington Dispatch.) Dr. W. S. Rankin, the very cup able representative of the Duke en dowment fund fur hospital.-- of North Carolina, f'ids that counties in th" State now hav • in impeful prospect the early investment of $550,060 in public hospitals, mostly for the treatment of tubercular patients. For this object the Duke endowment will contribute a considerable por tion of the cost of annual mainten ance for an unlimited period. Thi* provision gives a much more invitinir prospect to those counties that may . be thinking about tubercular hospi . tals. The first cost is not so much , a deterrent to many of ttom as the j prospect of a considerable outlay' i each year for maintenance, j With the growth In population and ( w* alth of many of • >r North Caro- . lira couifties the n.">l for public ' hospitals will increase.
