Gwyn for judge of the 21st district. In the editorial an error occured in ie gard to Rockingham's endorse ment of Gwyn as follows: The article stated that "two to i»vj ; members of the Democratic Ex ecutive Committee of Rockingham l : had endorsed him for judge,"! whereas the article should have' read "two to five members from I i each of the 23 precincts." j The truth is that more than SO 'members of the Democratic Ex | ecutive Committee endorsed , Gwyn for judge. j The Reporter regrets that the j error happened and hastens ic correct it.. I ! • In Fairness To Ralph Scott Editor Reporter: I Two weeks ago it was reported !in the Stokes County papers and other weeklies in the 21st judicial district that the cnmtßcr rernent ad-1 ' dress at Sandy Ridge High School! was made by Allan Ivie, opponent I of Ralph Scott as a candidate for i the Solicitorship. People through ! out Stokes and other counties I ' thought it strange that one of Ralph Scott's opponents was I selected to make this address in Stokes County when Scott is 311 much admired and so well loved. I I in Stokes and by all who knov; 1,. I him. I The truth of the matter i 3, that Mr. Ivie did not make Sandy Ridge's commencement address. I He was not asked to make this I 1 address. The address was well t I and ably delivered by Mr. Hartvy | the Secretary of the High Point jY. M. C. A. After Mr. Hartley | I had completed his address, Mr. J. C. Carson was to deliver the diplomas to the graduating class, I but Mr. Carson was unable to be .there. Mr. Ivie just happened to be there. He volunteered h i a services and in connection with . this presentation, Ivie made an un- solicited talk of 30 to -10 minutes. Ivie then sent an account of the j commencement address which he had made to all the papers and; did not mention Mr. Hartley's name. Let us give credit where credit is due. Let u s not accuse Sandy Ridpe of ignoring our own Ralph Scott in i'avor of Leaks vi'le's "handsome young attorney" as he styles himself. SANDY RIDGE SCHOOL j PATRON I McKiniey Nelson of Piedmont Springs, who is ill at his home after having sustained two opera tions at a Winston-Salem hospital, appears to be slightly improved. **»•** Burley Mabe, a fi ne tobacco grower on the Tanyard farm, was in town Monday. Number 3,352 RAIN CAUSES FAST GROWTH TOBACCO CROP. EARLIEST IN YEARS, S II O \V S MM: STAND—FARMERS EXPECT STRENUOUS WORK AHEAD. Owing to tin' recent copious rains, farmers expect heavy wot k ahead lor next several weeks, as the early planting ol tobacco shows rapid growth, with a fino stand. ! Possibly not for 20 years has the tobacco crop been set nut so i early. I Graf-s is rapidly growing now, I and the planters anticipate noth ing except strenuous work when the sun shines, and the land gets | in condition for cultivation. Corn and tobacco both are in excellent condition. The prospect for a splendid crop in the county was never better at this season.
