FAILS TO RETURN
HORSE AND BUGGY.
Man Claiming to be a Revenue Officer
Wanted Here A Reward of $25

him until Monday of this week
when Mr. White received a tele

bass. He has bean traced to Win-
ston, leaving there Thursday
morning of this week, presumably
going to Reidsville. This is the
last heard of his whereabouts. He

Kernersville.
The Chief of Police of High
Point has had circulars issued off
ering a reward of $25 00 for the
apprehension of said Libass and

buggy, and mailed them to the
surrounding towns and cities.

Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 16
The editor Enterprise is in Florida
partly on business but more par
ticularly on account of a stubborn
case of la grippe which he could
not snake off at home By the

We want to say to the people of
High Point that the new Jackson
ville is the qneen of the South. We
have all heard how she has arisen
from the ashes. The story is a
pretty one but none too true, al
though part of it sounds like fic
tion. But the story increases in
interest every y ar. The burnt
district for miles is not only pretty
solid blocks of brick and stone, but
the improvements here continue
in every direction. There Is a
spirit of push and enterprise found
here that is found no where in the
South outside of High Point and
Atlanta. In all the varied branches
of industry there are evidences of
push and hustle, which alone
brings success We have visited
Jacksonville three times during
the past two years and the growth
of the city has impressed us more
and more every time. With her
excellent harbor, good streets, cli
mate, numerous railroads and sub
stantial buildirgs, she is destined
f-Ug among the first on the map in
population sotne of these days and
it does not seem far away. But we
ate not surprised at the spirit of
enthusiasm here in one branch of
the city's work, because we hear
that a North Carolinian is secre
tary of the Chamber of Commerce,

THE LOST BOY FOUND
In
an Abandoned Cabin With a Man
in a Drunken Stupor,
Elizabeth City, Feb. 17 Three
hundred men under the personal
management of Senator Beasley
were untiring in their search for
the lost boy, little Kenneth, part
of last night and all of today. They
met at Odd Fellows Hall at eight
o'clock this moruing and began
search, separating into d iff t rent
companies wnn captains ror eacn
party. Up to a late hour this after
noon, however, no trace of the
missing boy has been found.
Later A report has just reached
here tonight to the effect that Sen
ator Beasley 's son had been found
in an unoccupied lumberman's log
camp some distance from his home,
locked in with a white man, who
was in a semi unconscious condi
tion irom drinking wniskey or
taking morphine, or both. The re
port cannot be confirmed, however,
and the particulars cannot be ob
tained. The nearest telegraph of
fice is closed, and it is impossible
to ascertain whether the report is
true or not.

More Than Fifty Factories.
The banquet given at High
Point Monday night, February 6,
by "the Manufacturers' Club in
honor of Hon Victor H. Metcalfe,
Secretary of Commerce and Labor,
calls attention to the strides thft
have been made recently by this
enterprising town. Ten years ago
High Point had a population of
about 1500. Today it is somewhat
in the neighborhood of eight or
nine thousand and is still growing
with great rapidity.

claim to distinction lies in her

Hon. J. R. Bulla died Thursday
at the home of his daughter near

o'clock. He had been paralyzed
for a number of years an was un

remained fair under the circum

commenced having trouble with
his heart and he grew gradually
worse until the end came.
Mr. Bulla was in bis 82d year
and enjoyed a Sta'e reputation. He
was a lawyer of no mean ability
and enjoyed in his younger days a
lucrative practice. He was thor

solicitor of this district soon after
the war, when Judge Tourgee was
on the bench. These were trvinr

Richmond, Va., Feb. ic. A

not pay the $10,000 life insurant
policy carried by Samuel J. McCue
recently hanged at Charlottesville
for wife murder.
The company, it is stated, will
contest any suit that may be
brought, on the ground that the,
contract did not contemplate any
such contingency as a legal hang
ing, and that it wou'd be against
public policy to pay such insurance
since to do so might tend to in
crease crime.
All of the insurance umnanioc

that all will pay the policies except
