Young Democrats
Celebrated Tues.
Enthusiastic Rally Held At Co.
lOnial Hotel. Johnston
Chief Speaker.

Tuesday evening at the Colonial
Hotel, the Young Democrats OF
Ashe County, with Chairman Dean
Mcmillan presiding met in a gala
banquet celebration of the 5th an
niversary of President Roosevelt
A large representation was present
from all parts of the county.
After a sumptuous feast of turkey
land cranberry sauce, with all the
other traditional trimmings, the
Chairman introduced Gale McMil-
Ian and Glenn Little who made a
glowing report of their experiences
at the Young Democratic meeting
at Winston-Salem.
AS speaker of the occasion, Dean
Mcmillan introduced Honorable Ira
T. Johnston, chairman of the Demo
cratic Party of Ashe County. The
speaker was at his best. He praised
the Democratic party as the party
of youth" The party, he said, was
organized in the spirit of youth by
the ever young Thomas Jefferson.
It was later sustained by the vigor-
Gus Jackson and revivified by the
silver-tongued orator of the Platte
William Jennings Bryan. It was
made victorious by the leader and
teacher of youth, Woodrow Wilson
and is now triumphant under the
gallant leadership of the immortal
Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
In referring to the Constitution,
MIR. Johnston said the great docu-
men of our National government
should be regarded as a guildepost
to progress; but not as a hitching-
post to stay progress.
After the banquet and speaking
event was concluded, the parlors
and dining room of the Hotel were
cleared for the dance which fol-
lowed.

Several Wrecks,
LIN County, But
No Bad Injuries
Car And Truck Practically De-
mOliShed In Accident Near
WarrenSville Sat.
LITTLE TURNS OVER

An epidemic" of automobile &C.
cidents were reported throughout
the nation last week end and Ashe
county motorists contributed a full
share to the long list of wrecks.
According to the Associated
Press, 1872 persons were killed on
the nations streets and highways
by motor vehicles and hundreds
were injured in other accidents.
Fortunately no serious injuries
were sustained as a result of the
accidents in the county, but sever
al cars were badly damaged.
One of the county's worst week
end wrecks occurred near Warrens-
vile last Saturday afternoon when
Howard Bare, who lives near Idle
wild and who was driving his
brothers car, sideswiped a truck
belonging to Roy Rotten, of West
Jefferson, and turned over.
George Walker, who was driving
the truck, escaped unhurt, while
Bare, who works for the Vannoy
Produce Company here, was said
to have been injured rather badly
when the car fell on him. How
ever, after the accident he left the
scene and has not been seen by To-
cal parties since that time and it
is understood that charges will be
lodged against him.
Sam Davis, who was in the car
with Bare, also escaped without
serious injury. Both the car and
truck were almost completely de-
molished. The accident occurred
on Bakers Hill, with Bare driving
towards Tennessee and the truck
coming toward the Jeffersons.
Saturday night near Lansing
Howard Little, of Husk, lost con-
troll of his car when the lights were
said to have gone out and the car
turned over, with the result that
the car was rather badly damaged.
Early Sunday morning a Mr..
T ambert, from West Virginia, ran
into an embankment on highway
near the Jeffersons and a consider
able amount of damage was done
to his car.
Saturday night, week ago,
Grant Sutherland turned over in
one of the Ideal Laundry trucks.
Fortunately he was not hurt, but
the top of the truck was torn up
pretty badly.

Training School For Agents and
Committeeman to be Held
in Jefferson.

A training school for instructing
the county farm agents and COM
munity committeeman in Asfie
Allegheny and Watauga counties
as to the details of the 1898 agr1-
cultural conservation program Will
be held at the courthouse in Jetter-

ming at $50 o'clock, County Agent
Rich announced this week.
J. A. Prospt, of State College in

school and to explain fully the new
program. At the same time, SINH
lar training schools will be held all
over the State.
Following this school, community
meetings will be arranged and the
committeeman, together with the
aid of the county agent, will give
details of the program and explain
the background to the growers.
Dates and places of these meetings
will be announced later
E. Y. Floyd, state AAA executive
officer, has pointed out that the
meetings are being held this fall to
give farmers ample time to con-
slider provisions of the program be-
fore they plan next years crops.

hope that individual growers
goals will be established at an
early date so they will have a def
mite object to guide them in plan
ming their work.
The 1888 program follows this
years program in details, but the
fundamental detectives of encou-
raging the growing of soil-conser-
wing crops and limiting cash crops
remain the same.
The county agents in Allegheny
and Waauga counties are: Alleg-
,hany, R. E. Black and Watauga, w.
