THE DANBURYJREPORTER. Volume 61. THE DEMOCRATS IN CONVENTION PARTY GATHERING HERK MONDAY FOR THE PURPOSE OF REORGANIZING FOR TIH: NEW CAMPAIGN, AN l> ELECTING DELEGATES TO STATE CONVENTION NO CHAIRMAN OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE SELECTED SPICY DEBATES OVER BUR NETT RESOLUTION OTH ER INCCTDENTS. A small crowd oi Democrats attended the convention here Monday, at which delegates were elected to th e State Democratic com-ention to be%ftld in the city of Raleigh June 21. The object of the convention was also for the regular biennial re or sanization of the party machinery, when every two years a new executive committee and county chairman are named. The precinct primaries should have been held on Saturday preceding the convention, but at many pre cincts this formality was neglect ed, and only about 12 precincts with credentials were represented in the convention. While this number constituted a quorum, yet when the twelve committee mem bers retired to a room to name a new county chairman it was found that owing to differences of choice for a standard bearer it would not be expedint to name a chairman until a fuller rep resentation could be had. The committee then returned to the convention hall and recommend ed that the dat e for electing a chairman should be indefinitely postponed. After considerable debate, Saturday July 14 was set as the date for the reassembl ing of the committee and the election of the party's leader for the new campaign. In th e mean time, the Secretary of the execu tive committee was instructed to get in touch with those precincts which have not met and new committees and prec'iut chairmen and urge them to com plete their organizations in time for the July 14 meeting. In ca3e , any of these precincts fail to organize, then the executive committee shall appoint such or ganizations. The precincts which have not organized and which were not represented in the convention are as follows: Mitchell's, West Sandy Ridge, Lawsonville, Frans, Brown Mountain, Flinty Knoll, Freeman. The convention was called to order at 1:30 P. M„ by Chair man 8. P. Christian, who request ed Lawrence Macßae to preside at the meeting. N. E. Pepper was appointed secretary. The first business before the convention was ascertaining the line- ;p of the new executive com mittee, and it was found that the following precincts were duly organized, and were represented as indicated: • ' Danbury, by A.

Some heated debate wa s precip iated by the following resolu tion presented by H. C. Burnett, of Walnut Cove: "Be it resolved: That this con vention in its quiet deliberations, in the interst oi party harmonv, economical county government and wisdom in the conduct of the party and its members, goes or record as advising the various participants in the Primary June 2, who are, under the law, entitled to enter a second primary, against such action and furthermore tenders its services, through its executive committee to formulate plans and, if possible to effect adjustment betweeen th e various participants whereby the second primary may be eliminated." C. L. Carroll, of Mountain View, who spoke in opposition to to the resolution, announced that he had been authorized to say that the coming second primary would be at the expense of the candidates, and that it would not cost the tax-payers a cent. Mr. Burnett finally withdrew his resolution, which had been adopted by Walnut Cove Demo crats. Mr. Burnett added in his withdrawal that owing to the nonrepreeentation of many of the precincts, that he and his dele gation would not press for the adoption of the resolution, at this time. • Wednesday, June 13, 1934.

Number 3,022 THE BH; STOKES FOREST RESERVE SCOPE OF THK GOVERN MENT'S PLANS IN THK COUNTY. WHICH INVOLVE OVER SEVENTY-FIVE PER CENT. OF COFNTY'S TERRI TORY INTERVIEW WITH .MR. VANHOY. TITLE ATTOR NEY. The United States government is establishing a national forest reserve in Stokes county, which will embrace more than 75 per cent, of the county's territory, covering 110.000 acres, including a part of all the nine territories of the county. As there has been considerable imisunderstanding in regard to j the government's plans and pur | poses touching this immense pro j ject, the Reporter has recently : had an interview with Mr. J. W. Van Hoy of Statesville, title at torney for North Carolina with | reference to the government's ' forestry work. Mr. Van Hoy fur nishes the Reporter with the fol lowing information, which will be of great interest to our readers and the citizens of the county: Perhaps many of our readers I have been informed that the Na- I t : .onal Reservation Commission early this year created in Stokes I county a National Forest, com prising 110,000 acres of land em brnoing part of all the nine town ships in the county. This area, roughly speaking, includes more i than seventy-five per cent, of tho territory of Stokes county. I The editor is sure that many of our people do not understand the purpose of this action on the part of our government, nor its effect upon our citizens and our county. For this reason we have made some investigation of the matter, and will undertake to 1 answer some of the questions that doubtless are in the minds 'of som e °f our people. What is the purpose of our National Forests? There are two underlying principles upon which the government nets in the ac quisition of privately owned lands for national forests. First: The lands lying on the wat?r sheds of navigable streams and their tribu taries are required by the govern ment to protect the navigable ! streams. It is known to every one that as the timber is all re ] moved from the mountain tops j ftjd mountain sides and forest Pros run wild over the cut over Ivids the rain fall is not held I back as it was in the days of our primeval forests, and conse quently the mountain streams be ! come torrents, carrying the soil ' in great quantities into the rivers | where it is deposited and fills up ! the channels. The result has I been that for years the head of ; navigability of our streams has moved toward th? ocean, and in order to remedy this, the gov ernment has expended millions and billions of dollars in rivers . and harbors work in attempting to restore the navigability where , it has been destroyed by floods (Continued on 2nd Page.>
