REYNOLDS SCHOOL
WILL CONTINUE
W. N. Reynolds Contributes
Sufficient Funds To Keep
School Going Two Months j
Longer.
The Reynolds Memorial i
school in Quaker Gap township,
this county, will continue m
session another two months
after the county and State
i'unds appropriated to the j
school are exhausted. This ox-'
tension of the school term is
made possible through a gift
by W. N. Reynolds, of Wins- j
ton-Salem.
Reynolds school was estab
lished by the 'ate Walter Rey
nolds, brother of W. N. Rey
nolds, in memory of his grand
mother, Mrs. Nancy Jane Cox,
who resided in that community j,
during her childhood.
The Reynolds school at Critz.
Va., established by the late j
Harbor Reynolds, another i j
brother of W. N. Reynolds, ro-'
cently received a donation from
W. N. Reynolds which also en
ables it to continue for two
months after public funds fo: - 1
the operation of the schooi J
have been exhausted. i 1
Needless to say the citizens' j
of both communities are high- ! j
ly appreciative of the Winston- 1
„. .
Salem man's generosity.

WALNUT COVE
VOTES SCHOOL TAX
Of 350 Registered Voters 211
Cast Ballots For School Tax
With Only 33 Against Meas
ure—Territory Enlarged and
Tax Rate Lowered.
Citizens ef Walnut Cove and
a large part of Sauratowr
towiship Tuesday voted a
special tax for schools in thai,
district by ail overwhelming
majority. Of :!50 regss'Uered
voters 211 voted in favor of
the measure with only 33 op
posing it.
The result of the carrying of
this election is that the special
i school district embracing the
town of Walnut Cove will be
extended considerably. On the
'south it will run parallel with
the Forsyth county line, wh.l• •
oil the west it touches the
Meadows township line.
j Jhe special tax for schools in
I the district cannot be more
than 25 cents on the hundred
dollars, and will probably lv
considerably less. For some
ears the district has beeii
I
paying around 25 cents on tin.
SIOO. but with the addition of
i the new territory the rate v. i!i
! doubtless be lowered. One • r
more schools in the j.ew terri
tory will probably be discon
i tinued and the pupils brought
in to the high school at Walnut
' Cove.
The boundary Jims of the
new school district :ov ar fol

"Beginning at Shell Rock be

PIEDMONT HOTEL
RAZED BY FIRE

Origir A Fire Unknown
widely Known Report
.■ Is Distinct Loss To En
(l' tire Section.
Piedmont Springs hotel. lo
cated just west of Danbury,
I was completely destroy id by
I fire hist night. wi®ich started
; between one and two o'clock.
The entire contents of the
j building were also destroyed.
The building was not occu
. j>ied during the winter months
,and the origin of the fire is un_
known, however, it is the gen
eral opinion that the blaze
originated from a nuitch or
cigarette dropped by a member
of a "petting" or "drinking"
party, it being a common oc
currence for such parties t*
visit the resort at night. Only
last week the building was
found to have been entered by
prying open a door or window,
and intact it has been for
years almost impossible to keep
intruders out.
While it was not learned de
finitely today just what
amount of insurance was car
■ tied on the hotel, it was stated
that the amount only partially
covered the-loss, being probab
ly half the worth of the build
ing.
The Piedmont Springs prop,
erty was owned by the heirs of
the late J. Spot Taylor, his son,
' Sherift J. John Taylor, having
management of the* hotel since
the death of his father, and
the resort has enjoyed a fine
patronage for many years, be
ing one of the oldest and most
widely known resorts in th«
State.
This is a distinct and heavy
loss to this community as well
as the entire county. It ha*
furnished a ready market lor
farmers produce and has al
ways been a source of pleasure
and pride for this entire sec
tion. bijnging thousands of
visitors to the county from ev
ery section of the country.
The building which was dp
stroyed last night \y,(s the
third hotel burned on this same
site, the first one having been
erected there probably around
1810. The second one was
built after the civil war. while
the one just lost was put thorp
in IHS.i. being l'orty-one years
old. 11 wa- built by a stock
company composed of Winston-
Sal i m ciii/.ei s, among these
being the late ( apt. S. K. Allen,
•1. ( . Huxton. ('. IJ. Wat--on,
Joseph Vaughn. T. H. Pepper
and the late Col. J. M. (Jallo
way. f Madison.
Th> building which was four
stoiies high was unusually con
structed for a .- immer resort
hotel, having plastered rooms,
halls, etc.. with lire places in all
rooms of the main building,
neither ol which are found in
resort hotels on the coast or
in the mountains of this State.
No announcement has been
given out at this time as to
whether the owners contem
plate rebuilding or what dis
position. if any, will be made
of this well known u turner
