Does the recent State law regarding "Joraalla Dalinquanta," lleanaa boya ♦a annoy tha public or Individuals by tfcetr mischievous, not to say harmful depredations ? We think not, w» know tha law la Intended to promote good behavior rather than to eneour ags mlabahavlor, bat tome how the law regarding miscreant boys seems to have ikiscarried and tha ends of wJusttcs are belnf defeated In this rs In oar own (own. * M. A. Pendleton, agent for the Atv lantic and Yadkin railway states that he has been sorely annoyed by boy of fenders, they violate tha law by jHaybig on and off moving trains about the depot, to say nothing of riaktng an accident that may cost loss af Itfs or limb, they break windows, ferment cattle and other stock that la placed In the company's hands Air shlpmsnt and injurs and destroy pro perty In variooa waya. Complaint to the police brings no re lief, as they say a boy is not a crimin al la the eyes of the law and they can S*t arrest them, and thay refer him to County Welfare officer W. T. Bavenport, of Rockford. Mr. Pendle ton kaa taken the matter up with Mr. Bavenport and If nothing else can be done, to protect tha railroad property, possibly the boys can be sent to the Jackson Training school until such time as their destructive habits are out grown or they have reformed. Summary of The Tabulated Volo of Surry County If all the townshipa voted It "straight" like Eldora and Shoals eounting the bnllots would be only a few minutes job. Out of a total of 8,742 votes cast in ♦he county Mount Airy township cast 1,44ft for Governor. Byerly reduced the majority of his eponent to 48fl while the other Re publican candidates were receiving around 1500 majority. Democrats in Mount Airy township elected all their magistrates, their Constable and Recorder, and gave a Majority for the County ticket, but Harding's majority was 42, and Par ker's and Merrltt's, 25. Judging from the vote cast a Demo crat would say Shoals township is the best one to live in, but then a Republi aan might come back at you and point •ut Westfield. Emmett White cut his opponent's majority 400 less than the ticket. Good work Emmett. Henry didnt think Emmett was doing much, but remember deep water runs silent. ParkeT received more votea than Harding, yet Harding has the largest Majority. Where's the trouble? JS*w Bridge AcroM Fish River. 'The County Commissioners have re cently decided to build a bridge across ^ish rivor on the road leading from Dob son to the County Home. They will use the bridge that is being re placed by a concrete one across Arar at river between Mount Airy and Ban eertown. The County has found it al most impossible to buy timber for its bridge work and have had a saw-mill placed upon the county's farm and arc sawing their own material. They have keen seriously hampered in getting this lumber across Fish river, having te use teams to haul it to the matn ■•ad, while with a bridge the County's tractor could be used and much better progress made. They expect to get the bridge in place within the next few weeks. Train Hiti Hand-Car. As the section hands were iroing 4o\vn• the railroad Thursday morning •n the hand car they were struck by an extra train from Winston-Salem. The accident occurred at the 4 mile post below town, the injured were A. W. Fogleman, foreman, badly bruised, about the face and head; Jim Senter, laborer, shoulder dislocated; Rich Uittman, laborer, colored, cut and bruised. The injured men were rush ed to the hospital in this city where their injuries were treated and it was found that none of the men were seri ously hurt. Vk r Arrangements are being made to put all city mail boxes on permanent eoacrete posts, when theee boxes were put up they were pat oa tele graph poles or where ever a post was nt. ~r° Floyd ►loyd Poo re, Jr., who for some time feat has bees substitute or assistant : at the locel poet office, has been to the poeition of regular IU-Arraa|kf Sorry'* N«w Court Houm. Oantle reader, don't get Mcltnl whan you md about the n-arrange manta that la to take place In our ww court house, but such la going to take place, jrat we do not want you to be gin to think that than la a poaaUtility of any radical chant*, Hka it* removal to Mount Airy. The re-arrangement has Mora to do with that particular portion of OUR court houee that in times past has bean uaad, aa occasions and weather 'called for, as lodging quartan for • few of the "elect" Back yonder whan the court houee waa finished two or three rooma won found that then appeared to bo no need of at that particular time, and therefore jwere left varant. One cnid winter minth after that, while court waa in session some of those In at tendance wen living in dread of hav ing to sleep In those chilly rooms about the town, and while msdltatlng upon It asked: "Why not use those nice steam-heated, electric lighted rooms in the court house T" So wlth hut any mon words heda wen placed In varioua parts of the building for court official!, county offlcen, and private ritlxens. Of course the County rommlsslonen were polite enough not to objr«t at the time, yet then haa coma a hereafter to It. Cltisoni over the county have seeir those comfort able beds In their court house and be gun to Inquire if they could not fit up a room alao. But then was not space for all who wanted private bed-rooms In the eounty's temple of Juytle*. The Commissioners have announced that the only solution they know to the question is to do away with all the sleepMg quartan, excepting the Jur on beds. They have therefore order ed all personal property belonging to private individuals to be removed from the court house by the flnt Mon day in December, and have also order ed Avery Norman, the janitor, to sell at public auction on the fint Mon day in December all beds, mattresses and cover belonging to the county now In the court houiie, excepting those in the jurore rooms. In the Recorder's Court. Business in the Recorder's Court Monday wsa (rood from a financial wuy, it being the first' session held since the election. During election week the officers had arrested sever al men for being drunk and disorder ly. In every instance the offenders entered a plea of guilty* and were taxed with the cost. One young man. wh» had recently moved to this city from some western state, was before the court for being drunk and having too much liquor In his possession. The officers tound him in a local restaurant on election night in an In toxicated condition and when the sr >st was made he had a half-gallon fruit jar full of liquor in his shirt bosom. The young fellow showed by his earnestness that he did not know he was violating any law when he purchased the liquor for hi* own us* He merely wanted to be sure of hav ing enough U> satisfy his own appe tite. The fact that he had come from the west to support a dependent rela tive caused the Judge to suspend Judgment on payment of the cost and admonished the ? oung man to be care ful and stay out of court in the future. Sheriff Helton has five white men and two negroes before the court charged with gambling. On last Saturday the Sheriff was walking through the woods in the Combstown section looking for some hidden liquor I that he had suspicion that was in con cealment in those parts. Whi'e mak ing the search he walked right into these seven men in the midst of an exciting game of poker. Sheriff Bel ton took them by such surprise that he was able to capture the entire hunch together witn the cards and money. The men had spread out some old sacks on the ground and had - fM dollars in change on the sacks I when they were caught. The two ne-| groes were old offenders, having been I ■before the court before on the same I charge, and were fined $B.OO each and the cost. As the white men had never I l-een before the courts on any charge | the Judge was disposed to suspend judgment upon payment of cost, but on second thought he fined them equally with the negroes, stating that, when white men get to gambling with the colored they have no reason to ex pect any great amount of leniency. Killed in Train Wreck. Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Welih attended the funeral of Mrs. Webb's brother-in law, Ben Simpkins, at Snake Creek, Va . last Sunday. Mr. Simpkins was "&n engineer on the N. A W. rairoad and was instantly killed in a collision last Friday near Williamson, W. Va. The body was accompanied home by the engineer of the train with which ta collided and Mr. Simpkins' fi-eman. The deceased leaves a wife and four children. The wrack waa said to have been caused by the flagman failing to stop on* of the trains at • station while! the other waa ps—ing.
