SUPERIOR COURT
IS IN PROGRESS
Smallest Attendance Ever
Known At Criminal Term —j
Judge Clayton Moore Pre-\
siding;— May Continue All j
Week—Civil Term Begins !
Next Monday.
The regular term of crintinal
. Superior court opened here
-» Monday morning with a heavy (
t. ket which will nodoubt re
ire a full week for its dis
• position.
.. It is a noticeable fact that
the attendance at court is
smaller than has been known
in year?, if ever. The court
|oom has probably not been
more tV.an half filled at any
session. This is accounted for
by the fact that farmers are
especially busy just at this
season and only those who have
business here are in attendance
on court.
Judge Clayton Moore, of Wil
liamston, Martin county, is pre
siding over the court. His
charge to the grand jury Mon
day morning has evoked much
favorable comment for its com
mon sense and clear exposition
of law and its application.
Judge Moore is probably the
youngest Judge, in years, on
the bench in North Carolina.
Solicitor J. F. Spruill is here
is still making it hard for
law violators. While it is said
the solicitor will not be a can
didate for re-election this fact
has certainly not had any effect
in the vigorousness of his
prosecution of law offenders.
The most important case
heard by the court so far was
that of C. P. Gibson, charged
with the larceny of an automo
bile from P. W. Davis. After
consuming all day Tuesday and
part of today in the trial a
verdict of not guilty was
brought in by the jury today
at noon. ... *■
Other cases disposed of up
to this time are as follows:
' D. R. Head, operating car while
intoxicated, net guilty.
Louis Griffin, operating car whita
intoxicated, fined $5O and cost.
George Hampton, breaking: into
jrarapre, ono year on roads.
Claud Rullin, resisting: arrest,
j udtri.it'nt pending.
4 R (, y .Smith and Moir Nelson,
/umufacturing liquor. Plead guilty.
Judgment pending.
i; _ Edward Barnes, Robert Bnwn
and Will Alexander, house-breaking,
£, larceny and receiving. All guilty.
Judgment pending as to Barnes and
Y Alexander, while Brown is referred
to juvenile court.
Dewey Gunter and Odell Smith,
oafled out. Capias issued in each
case and defendants brought here
to jail. .Smith is charged with as
sault, and Gunter failed to pay cost
and fine at last term of court.

ber of true bills. Other members

CREAMERIES FOR I
STOKES COUNTY,,
____________ !
.County Agent Is Making Effort '
j to Get One Or More Cream
eries Established Need
I
More Cows.
By J. E. TREVATHAN, Co. Agent. *
j Mr. Lawrence Mcßae, of '
Greensboro and Walnut Cove,
has been investigating the pos- 4
sibilities for a creamery at *
' Walnut Cove. Mr. Mcßae *
seems desirous of establishing *
| a creamery at Walnut Cove if '
he can be assured of an ample 1
supply of cream from the farm- 1
ers of Stokes County. Here is (
a real opportunity for the 1
farmers of the county. More 1
milch cows could be kept on th.: '
farms. This would benefit the 1
farmers in two ways. The first
benefit would be a monthly in- I
come from the sale of cream. '
The second benefit would be 1
the value of the byproducts, 1
The separated miik would b •
profitable as i food tor raising
pigs, calves and chickens; '
while the manure wj-jM be a 1
means of irnp.r>the farm
and increasing the yieiJ and '
quality of farm crops.
Statistics show that there (
are only slightly more than 1
3500 milch cows in Stokes 1
county. This is less than two '
cows to each farm- There
should really be twice this 1
number of good milch cows in
the county. The establishment
of a creamery would be an in
ducement to farmers to keep
i more cows. However, accord
ing to the censis the pres
. ent number of cows would not
i afford sufficient surplus over
| home needs to justify the in
. vestment in a creamery at this
• time. It is up to tthe farmers
| to bring in more eows so that
t a suitable market may be se
! cured for the surplus.
r There is a possibility of so
i
curing a cream route trom Win-
> 1 ston-Salem to serve the King
I community. Anyone interest-'
„ ed in such a route should com
municate with the county agent
' at Walnut Cove. County Agent
, J. E. Trevathrfn is making a
| study of the cow population in
• the cicinity of Walnut Cove.
It is estimated that the product
of 600 cows will be needed to
justify the organization of a
1 creamery. j

ROAD PATROLMKN ]
ARE SELECTED
Entered On Their Duties Mon- 1
, day of This Week—Personnel
Of Force For This District, i
t
Geo. K. Fontaine, of Wins
ton-Salem ; G. R. Duncan, of
Sparta; and W. T. Lee. of Ba!- '
sam, are the three men select- '
ed to patrol the highways of '
Stokes, Forsyth, Wilkes, Alle
ghany, Ashe, Watauga, Avery, '
Caldwell, Alexander, Davie and
Iredell counties. L. R. Fisher,
of Raleigh, is made lieutenant
for this district. Ha will be in
charge of the three men and
will maintain an office in Wins
ton-Salem. The men entered
on their duties Monday of this
week.
A final order issued to the
patrol by Chairman
declares that the purpose of
the patrol is not to harass, an
noy or restrict any citizen in
the legitimate use of the high
ways, but is rather to preserve
these highways and to afford
the utmost assistance and ser
vice to those using them and to
protect them in this use.
It is said that special efforts
of the patrolmen will be toward
trying to put as much of a
check as possible to the week
end accidents that occur on the
highways of the State. Rec
ords show, said Chairman
Doughton in his recent instruc
tions to these men, that a great
many accidents that occur on
Saturdays and Sundays are due
to week-end drunks. He asks
that as far as possible these
patrolmen be furnished with
names of drivers who get hab
itually drunk and put the lives
of all legitimate users of the
highways in jeopardy, and
once furnished these names it
will not be long before the
number of accidents will be
cut down, he adds.

PENSION BOARD
HOLDS SESSION;
Widows of Four Confederate
Veterans Added To Pension
Roll—Only 17 Soldiers Get!
Pensions In Stokes.
The county pension board
held its regular annual session
at the court house here Mon
day, members T. W. Tillev, E.
W. Carroll and J. W. Fowler
being present.
The business of the board
grows rapidly less each year,
and at the meeting Monday!
practically the only business
transacted was the placing of
four widows of veterans on the
pension rolls. Two of these
were the wives of soldiers who
have died since last year, the
other two being widows who
have become disabled.
At present there are only
seventeen veterans in this
county who draw pensions and
each year the list grows ap
preciably less. There are thir
ty-five widows on the list.
New Money Takes
Place of Old July 10
Paper money of smaller size
will take the place of that now
in use on and after July 10.
The new currency is now being
distributed through Federal
Reserve banks and by the first
of the month local banks will
have u supply of the crisp new
bill in all the denominations.
This new money will be issu
ed by the banks to those hav
ing the old bills. Within a
short while after July 1, it is
hoped to retire all the old bills
and substitute in their place
the new currency.
The following letter has been
mailed throughout the country.
"The attention of bankers in
particularly and the public in
I
general is called to the fact
that it will be physically im
possible to make immediate
exchange in small size cur
rency for all of the present
size bills now in circulation.
For this and other reasons,
the change will have to bj
ma le gradually. Furthermore,
the waste which would be oc
casioned by immediate retire
ment and cancellation ot' all
the old-size currency. Since
only limited supplies of the
small-size bills will he avail
able for payment purposes dur
ing the next several months,
the Treasury Department has
announced that its policy and
that of the Federal Reserve
banks wiH be to put the old
size currency into circulation
concurrently with the small
1 size bills in such proportions
of each as may from time to
time be determined."

NO BAG LIMIT
ON CHIGGERS
I
District Game Warden Says
Fish and Game Laws Don't
Prohibit Picking Blackber
ries. j
North Carolina's fish and
game law does not limit either
the quality or quantity of black
berries gathered in this State
and neither does it place a bag
limit on the "redbugs," which
often cause no little annoyance
to the blackberry-pickers.
This fact was established
when W. C. Lisk, assistant
State game warden, took oc
casion to brand as absolutely
untrue the report being circul
ated throughout the State tha.
the game law prohibits the
picking of blackberries in ex
icess of three gallons.
"The report originated in
Southeastern Rowan county,
where there is great opposition
to the present fishing law,"
said Mr. Lisk. "I wish to say
emphathicaily and I don't care
how strong you put it, that the
game and fish law of North
Carolina has nothing whatever
to do with the picking of black
berries. There is no limit to
the amount of redbugs or chig
gers the pickers get in so doing,
and all who want to pick black
berries and scratch chiggers
can go to it without fear of be
ing arrested."
