_ THE „DANBURY REPORTER. Volume 61. DEFENDS CARSON 1 AND THE BOARD "DEMOCRAT" SAYS TiIOSK 1 WHO ARK FKillHNii ARK THK SAME OLD CROWD OF KK KKRS VtllO ARK AGAINST THK DEMOCRATIC TICKET. Edito: Reporter: Pie -.se allow me space in your s paper to make an explanation. ! There is a fi-cht being made on ; Professor Carson and the old l Board of Education in Stokes i «oun*.y. which is actuated by pure ( malice and prejudice. I This fight is being made by the I same crowd that is and always fights the regular Democratic I ticket in the county, a crowd of sore-backs who have been dis- I credited by the Democratic party, i The leader, who was defeated • in the last primary as low man, wants Carson's job. You will not find that any true Democrat is taking any part in this malicious fight. The Board of Education of Stokes county is a Democratic body, and is part of the Demo cratic party in Stokes county. Pi of. Carson has been in office | a good while, we will admit, but | his record as a Democrat and as ' a public official is above reproach. Prof. Carson has always support ed the Democratic ticket, and has contributed every campaign to its 1 support. What have his sland "w erers done ? m The Board of Education and ' Prof. Carson may have made mistakes, but we all must admit that they have built up a school |ji system in our county that no citizen of the county but is proud of our showing with the other ,7; | counties of the State, ft; '' Will Stokes county profit or lose by kicking out Carson? H Is he not one of the most com- K petent superintendents in the State? « Are those who are fighting him, Kr and have they always been sup * porters of the Democratic ticket,' or are they chronic kickers and fe always ready to fight our ticket? i The regular Democrats in Stokes county are supporting Carson and the Board of Eduea tion, r.nd are having nothing to ido with this crowd of kickers and . fighters against our ticket. Vote for Hutcherson in the pri- j mary who is the representative, of the regular Democratic organ-' ization. DEMOCRAT, j Walnut Cove. N.

WHO WAS FORSYTII CANDI DATE FOR LEGISLATURE, SAYS REPUBLICAN FATHER PIT IIIM IN HOSPITAL. j Mat shall C. Kurfces. of For syth county, made his way from the inebriate's colony in the ! State hospital on Dix Hill at Raleigh Monday, and before tak- , ii.g his leave of the institution f declared that he had been sent there by "my father who is a .... 1 Republican and a prohibition crank who did not want me to i to be in the legislature." Mr. Kurfecs who is formerly a Germanton, Stokes county boy, ran for the lower house in For syth. He offered on a wet plank. He meant to repeal the Turling ( ton act. He insisted that it is an i inoperative and an odious statute. He argued that it would not work and to prove to the satisfaction of Forsyth police got on a drunk, he said. When he was written up in the home papers they made prominent that the candidate for the house was in "the asylum. ' Mr. Kurfees does not think it was a kindness to describe him in an asylum instead of a hospital. i "The truth of this thing ha 3 got to be known," he said. "You can state that my father and I disagree politically. He is a Re : publican and a prohibitionist, 1 am a Democrat and an anti-pro hibitionist. I admit that I got drunk to show how easy it is to get liquor. When I appeared in the city court the judge fined me $5 and costs as he ought to have done. But I proved to the police I that there was no prohibition in i Winston-Salem. After I came here the management tried to I keep me from talking to my' lawyer, but when they found .'»i> j that I was going to appiy tor a writ of habeas corp'.M thev let me out. And I am out today be cause I was going to sue out such a writ through Judge Pell, who is a Winston-Salem man and i a good lawyer. • "But the important thing is that my father put me here be cause he did not want me a Dem ocrat in the legislature voting Jto repeal the prohibition legisla j tion. And I am on my way back home t 0 help to elect Luther Fer j rell to the State senate." j Negro Shoots Wife | Near Belew's Creek —Now in Jail i W. C. Hairston, a negro of the • Belcw's Creek section, is in jail here on the charge of shooting his wife Sunday night. He was . arrested by Stokes officers n 1 | Greensboro. The woman is in a Greensboro hospital. The ball, which entered her left side and ranged back toward the right side, has been removed by hospit tal surgeons, and she is resting quietly. Hairston and his wife claim now that the shooting was ac cidental. | j Liquor caused the affair. Wednesday, June 27, 1934. CHECKING I P ON THE FARMERS Sl* PER VISORS WILL VISIT ( EACH FARM SOON TO SEE HOW THK TOBACCO GROW ERS ARK CARRYING OCT THEIR C'ONTR UTS- OI N TY AGENT KIRBa GIVES IMPORTANT I> FORM " TION. ED'. tor Reporter: The re\i slep in AAA tobacco work will be to determine how nearly contracting growers have • i come to meeting the compliance requirements of the contract, j Supervisors will visit each farm,' measure the tobacco crop, inspect the rented acres, ascertain the number of tenants growing tobac co on the farm and gather other data necessary to show whether the grower has complied with the conditions of the contract which make him eligible for the benefit payments from the government, j The county committee will be largely in charge of the eertifica- | ton work. One supervisor will visit each farm under contract. The farm owner is expected to furnish the information requested and give aid in locating and sur veying his far m or farms and on any farms over which he may » have control. Farmers not in position to furnish this aid should furnish some person who can render this assistance. Farms will be surveyed and certified as having met the compliance re quirement only where co-operation on the part of the owner or othei person in charge is r :1 •/•jd and the other details are f. .'...1 :o !.o O. K. Checking the compli:« ' e !."a.ls and surveying the farms will start in Stokes at sometime in the near future, the exact date to be announced later. Those in charge are very much interested in com pleting this work as quickly as. may be pratical in order that the' expense of the program may be held to a minimum. Hearty co operation on the part of the own er or person in charge will make, it. possible to accomplish this task easily. Growers are urged to read the contract through, especially sec tions two and seventeen inclusive. Supervisors Caudle and Denny who have measured the contract ed wheat fields in Stokes report that wheat in the county as a whole is poor but on a few of the farms surveyed the crop is far above the average. Short Hay Crops. | Reports from almost every : section of the country indicate I that the American hay crop will , be short this year. Stokes is not i particular noted as a hay produc ing county but this is one year in which the extra effort required to , produce the necessary hay on . the average farm will pay, ac cording to present indications. Planting soy bean 3, cow-peas, either in rows or broadcast after ! grain crops, usually pays well. Reports from all sections in the county show that lespedeza is ( doing well this season. The stands are good and the yield is NEXT SATURDAY'S SECOND PRIMARY; ONLY ONE BALLOT TO BE VOTED, THIS CONTAINS WINNING CANDIDATE FOR REGISTER OF DEEDS' NOM INATION AND SUCCESSFUL MEMBER BOARD OF EDI - C A TION T\KK Y O I K CHOICE. j Only one ballot is to be voted in the second primary to be held i:i Stakes next Saturday, and it will be as follows: OFFICIAL DEMOCRATIC PRI MARY BALLOT FOR COUN TY OFFICES.

The above ticket also contain*, the successful aspirant for a place 'on the board of education., i Which one of the two names is he' The indications point to a light vote in this primary, probably not half so many as went to the polls on the second of June. However, no one can tell yet, as the interest is strong and | growing. 1 The result of the primary will be known at Danbury almost cer tainly by 10 o'clock Saturday I night. Come over and join the expec tant throng. Attorney and Mrs. S. O. Sparg er will occupy the A. H. Joyce old home this week, which they have leased. already far ahead of what it was last year. Lespedeza makes on»> of the finest hay crops. More About Wheat. Mr. Sheppard, well known Ptoke3 miller of near Danbury. sas: "It is more important to let wheat get ripe than many men i.r.aTinc." Wheat cut green not only shrinks and loses weight but there is also another point of im portance in this connection. If wheat is infested with bunt or stinking smut and is cut green the odor from this smut can not be easily removed from the wheat in milling. But if the wheat infes • ted with smut, is allowed to ma ! ture before it is harvested, the smut can be removed from wheat i and will not impart any of its ; odor to the flour made there i from." !CIVIL SERVICE •' EXAMINATION; FOR DANBURY POVTOFFICK, / TO BK HELD AT MADISON!
