Academy Thursday, November 5, at
S D. M, is the only woman who is
her own manager, now before the

NORTH CAROLINA
AUTOISTS ON TOUR
200 Autoists With Band Will Tour
the Valley

For the purpose of selling" the
Shenandoah Valley to the motorists
of Winston-Salem, the Winston-Sa-
lem IN. CD Automobile Club has ar
ranged for a motorcade of the Val
ley on November 5, 6 and Z.
In the announcement of this tour.
which viii be participated in by sew
eral hundred Winston-Salem motor
lists, in one hundred or more cars,
President John Brown of the auto
mobile club said that its purpose was
to show the citizens of Winston-Sa-
lem the scenic and historic points of
interest in the Shenandoah Valley.
"Winston-Salem is the logical
gateway for motor travel to and from
the Shenandoah Valley" said Mr..
Brown. Heretofore, our motorists
wanted to, but could not make the
Valley trip because of the condition
of the road between Rocky Mount
and Roanoke No what this stretch
has about been completed and will
be open almost completely for travel
by the time of this tour, we decided
that we would give them the oppor-
tunity they have long been waiting
for. This is not booster trip in
any sense of the word. We have
nothing to sell and will not talk Win
ston-Salem, but on the other hand
we are going to show motorists that
the Valley route is the most scenic
and the best for ither South or
North travel"
The party will be accompanied by
an 1S-piece band, the personnel of
which will be selected from the ia
nous $50 piece Moravian band,
which is the feature of the sunrise
Easter morning service of Winston
Salem. The motorcade will get un-
derway at $50 Thursday, November
5th, following an itinerary which
will give the motorists an oppor.
tunity to see the famous educational
institutions, and other scenery and
historic points of the Valley.

DEATH OF BIG SNAKE

Because of unfavorable weather
the Southern Tier Shows,
booked for a carnival in Woodstock
under the auspices of the American
Legion, has cancelled its dates. The
shows have been camped at Pugh's
Run for several days waiting for
their opening date in Woodstock,
which would have been yesterday.
The carnival company has specialized
in showing for the Legion and kin
dred organizations, and the cancella-
ton of the date is a disappointment
to many who had anticipated the
three days and nights of fun and
pleasure.
A notice of the cancellation of the
shows would be incomplete without
an ophidian obituary, for during its
stay at Pugh's Run an India Rock
Python, 16 feet six inches long passed
away at great loss to the company.
This giant wriggler was a feature OF
one of the side shows. and save for
the unrecorded deaths in the reptil-
liam age, long before the local
souses saw the serpents which van
ished with yolsteadism, 1t is the big
gest snake which ever died in the
Valley of Virginia. Death was due
to pneumonia. as the python could
not stand the rigors of wintry wealth
er in Shenandoah County, after hav-
ing grown to adult life on India's
coral strand. 1t was particularly sus-
lceptible to the changing weather OF
northern cliges- Heroic measures
were resorted Co, to save the python's
life, and it is stated that the bis
snake drank two quarts of apple
brandy, or rather the synthetic stuff
passed along as such, sneezed several
times, Embossed the porous plaster
which had been placed on its chest
