At Odds.
People
who are good friends
may lallput sometimes over very
little things. Take the case of Mr.
N. C. Jarrell and J. Newt Camp
bell. They were discussing Rus
sia -nd the war with Japan this
week when Mr. Campbell hap
pened to call the name of tne
Emperor of Russia the Czar. Mr.
Jarrell said he called it C-zarl
(Caesar). Mr. Jarrell told him
that that would not do for a man
of his standing in the community
and that people would laugh, at
him for pronouncing it "Caesar."
They bad H warm lor an hour and
finally Mr. Jarrell told him if he
was a mind to just stay ignorant.
it was alright with him.
Nothing In It.
-The Winston Sentinel says:
Thre prominent Southern rail
way officials were here today
General Superintendent Baker, of
Greensboro; Capt. Scale, General
superintendent of Transportation,
with headquarters in Washington,
and Supt. A. Ramseur, of Ashe
Ville Division,
Capts. Scale and Ramseur came
on a special car attatched to tht
Mooresville train.
While here, Mr. Baker was
shown the article in todays Char
lotte Observer, seDt from Reids
ville, in which it is slated that the
Southern will eventually build the
gap between Leaksviile and Madi
son and run through and fast trains
over j;nes
from Danville, via
Leaksviile, Madison, Walnut Cove,
Winston-Salem, Mocksville, and
Mooresville to Charlotte.
Captain Baker, after reading the
article.replied that he was not pre
pared to make a statement as be
did hot know what his company
proposed to do, so far as the new
line referred to by the Reidsville
correspondent is concerned.
The item referred to was sent
out from Reidsville Thursday that
the Southern would run the main
line of the Southern bv wav of
Leaksviile and Winston. There
can be nothing in this report be
cause the Southern is now ensrag
ed in putting down double track
between
Greensboro and High
Point, besides a hundred other
good reasons lor not deserting the
line between Danville and Salis
bury.
The Wind on a Tear.
A threatening cloud,
A gust of wind;
A steel rod out of place,
A ten-dollar glass broken
The above four lines gives ;sum
total of an accident that befell the
Enterprise office building Sun
day afternoon. A go out-like-a
lion March wind struck the city
Sunday afternoon in terriffic force
scattering things in various direc
tions. The awning in front of this
print-shop had been lowered to
shield the gold painting on the
door from the sun, and on account of
this precaution the gold letters as
well as the plate glass, upon which
they were embellished, were de
stroyed. A side bar of the awn
ing frame was forced loose and the
iron broke the glass into frag
merts. But, reversing the old
saying: it's 1 good wind that blows
no one no ill.
Looking This Way.
A gentleman who was here
Friday said that there was a

caid that tViA nnrtips interested
said that the parties interested
would ask no help from the town,
it Is just a question of location,
because the corporation has plenty
of money. If the decision- is fa
vorable to High Point work will
soon begin, if not we will never
know that anything was intended.
This is the way the" company
works.
Equal to the Occasion,
Mr. Spencer, the agent for the
Southern here, is equal to the oc
casion. There was a spirit of in
subordination among his truckers

Church Loafers. i nomasvme a uienn Anne naiiroau uoi. rnes Mere.
Some of our churches are trou
bled with loafers those who stand
on the outside until the sermon is
over and then crowd in the vesti
bule, interrupting the service. This
is especially the case during a
protracted meeting at some of the
churches and at times the congre
gations are annoyed. The law is
very strict against disturbing pub
l'c worship and the authorities
have only to make an example of
one) or two of these people in order
to bre'ak up the practice.
Pinnix Accused.
County Coroner J. P. Turner
held an inquest Friday morning
over the remains of Dave Coving
ton, colored," an account of the

Covington asked who it was in bed
and went up and pulled the cover

Covington did this.Pinnix jumped,
grabbed his pistol and shot Cov-

later within a block of the house.

The Good Effects of Banquet at High
Point.
"Results? Yes, direct results."
Mr. J. Elwood Cox thus replied
to a question by a Telegram re
porter as to whether or not there
had been any results from the
High Point banquet, at which
trade relations with Cuba were up
lor discussion.
Mr. Cox then told of the exper
ience of a North Carolina cotton
mill man who attended the ban
quet.
This mill man was greaUy im
pressed with the possibilities of
getting new markets for his goods
as suggested by the speeches at
the banquet. So he went to work
to find out the kind of goods that
would sell in Cuba. Samples were
procured and placed in the hands
of the proper parties. Pretty soon

Getting Points.
High Point was representedWednesday

in the person of Mr. F. W. Hahel. A
reporter of this papar was surprised at
the capital city giyiug leave of absence
to one of its councilmen on the eve of a
hot municipal election. You can't be
here getting municipal secrets from High
Point on how to run a good city? said
the reporter.
Mr. Habel, with the graces of a well
developed city politician on good gov
ernment, never revealed his business, but
from his countenance we expect Raleigh

Burlington, was burned this after
noon, with all the furniture. It
was the handsomest in the city, and
the loss will reach $10,060.
The hunting preserve, residence
and barn at Gibsonville, of C. S.

gether with several vehicles, five
fine horses and several cows. John

$5,000 Fire at Fayetteville.
Fayetteville, March 21. Fire of
unknown origin, which was dis
covered at 12:40 o'clock today, de
stroyed Wabon's lumber and plain
ing mills, and damaged adjoining
buildings to considerable extent. A
high wind quickly fanned the
flames to fury, and but for the ex
cellent work of the firemen, under
Chief McNeill, a disastrous con
flagration must have ensued. The
loss will reach $5,000, divided as
follows: Wabon plant, $2,000;
Fayetteville Ice Manufacturing Co.
$2,500; Culbreth & Company, to
bacco warehouse, $500. The loss
is said to be fully covered by insur
ance. Inclination to Idle.
"One of the greatest drawbacks to the
progress of young men in business is the
inclination to be idle- not during busi
ness hours necessarily, but in their lei
sure, the time that is called their own.
Instead of consuming a portion of that
time in the study of details of the busi
ness in which they are engaged and in
learning assential points that lack of op
portunity prevents them acquiring dur
ing work hours, they spend it in useless
frivoling and in forming habits that lead
to the ruin of the spendthiift.
"If the boy would contain bis impa
tience at immediate lack of advancemeut
and keep on patiently fitting himself for
the better place his career would be as
sured, for the promotion is pertain t
come some day. And when it d. es it
finds him amply equipped, both men
tally and phisically and possessing that
skill and broader knowledge that make
the the new duties easy and keen the
- r
road open to further achievement.
"The trouble with most young men is,
instead of creating better positions for
themselves where they are occupied, they
become impatient at what t' ey consider
long-deferred chances for betterment and
expe d valuable energy in casting about
in other fields for the illusive "ignis
fauus" called success. Success is made
by patient endeavor, not discovered."
We commend the abjve to the young
men of this community. A man is not a
man simply because he can stand up and
talk, play the hail felluw-well-met around
the stores and the like. Preparation
must be made and this comes by hard
work over plans well mapped. Again
the young fellow that,wastes his time at
nights generally becomes an Anarchist
a hater of all good results that come
from the hard work of his neighbor, who
has easily gone beyond him.
Rockefeller Annoyed.
New York, March 23. John D.
Rockefeller is said to be exceed
ingly annoyed at the protest made
by the Congregational ministers,
in Boson, against accepting his
gift of $100,000 to the board of
foreign mis,ions. While no state
mentis yet forthcoming, it is be
leved he will withdraw the gift.
