JACKSON DAY
DINNER JAN. 8
THE CAMPAIGN MANAGER
FOR STOKES IS B. P. BAI
LEY, CHAIRMAN OF COCN
• TY DEMOCRATIC EXECU
TIVE COMMITTEE—STOKES
DEMOCRATS TO ATTEND
RALEIGH MEETING.
Success of the Jackson Day
Carapiogr, in Stokes county is in-
by appointment of B. P.
Bailey a s county chairman. An
nouncement to this effect has
just been made by State Directo:-
John D. Larkins, Jr.
The purpose of this campaign,
which began last week and will
culminate in a mammoth Jack
son Day Dinner at Raleigh on
January Bth. i s to raise money
for the Democratic campaign and
convention next year. North Car
olina and Stoke 3 county have es
tablishes reputations for exceed
ing expectations in similar ef
forts.
Last year, with no election
campaign in the immediate of
fing, the state raised more than
ten thousand dollars. This year
demands upon the party treasury
will bd much heavier by reason 01
the election next fall and the con
vention this coming summer.
A speaker of national reputa
tion has been secured for the
celebration which will be held on
January 8, 1940, at the IfSM ■«*
Walter, Raleigh, N. C. A high
standard was set at the 1933
dinner by the speech of Gover
now (now Senator) "Happy *
Chandler of Kentucky. State Di
rector Larkins, who managed the
last campaign, guarantees that
the 1940 progrr.n certainly will
not fall below that standard.
Under the leadership of Chair
man B. P. Bailey, Stokes county
i s expected to be among the first
to announce tx>mpletion of its
quota. The first county to reach
this goa' will be accorded very
special recognition, not only at
the Jackson Day Dinner, but •?!-
so in the permanent records of
the State and National party or
ganizatir ns.
Official ruling that the Hatch
Act will no* prevent any federal
employee, other than reSief work
ers, from contributing to the
fund or attending the dinner
makes success easier to aLtc'n.
A number of Stoksg Democrats
are expected to attend the Raleigh
meeting.

Presbyterian Manse
To Be Built Here
It i t 4 reported on good authori
ty that the Presbyterian manse
to be the home of the Presby
terian minister and family of
this Presbyterian district, will b
built here. The report furilu-i
asserts that Danbury landowners
will rr-tvffcute the 1 •'
buiUiinu. Other sites i'.uve .i
offered, notably at Francisce.
Sandy Ridge and Pine Hall, but
as Danbury is most nearly at th
center of the group of Presbyter
ian churches ' n the county, thi;
point will probably be selected.
At this time the Presbyterian
charges are being served by th.
Rev. L. F. Cowan of Westfield.
It i s stated that the Winston-
Salem Piesbytery is largely fi
; nancing the location and buildiw;
of t'ie manse.
