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, Mr J. H. Holloman, who mar ried one of Kernersville's fair 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.

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. Of course High Point's chief claim to distinction lies in her 4rflr furniture iaiereat Thanks to the splendid progress' ifratha? been made along this line she stands today next to Grand Rapids Mich. , in the number of varieties of furniture manufactured and many are disposed to believe that she will sometime in the not far distant future surpass even that great furniturem anufacturingcen- Killed by Employee.
