BOUND OVER.
Greensboro Takes Decided Action
Against Practice of Taking Orders
for Whiskey House.
G. M. Whitesell, who has been
making a business of taking orders
here ior a 1 .rge liquor concern of
Clarksville, Va., since January,
was yesterday afternoon bound
over to superior court on the
charge of retailing and a $200
bond required for his appearance.
He gave bond. For some time
the officers and others have been
biding their time to secure the re
quired evidence against Whitesell,
who has been "hanging out,'' (as
he expressed it) at Paine's barber
shop on South Kim street.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. A. M.
Scales, city attorney, appeared for
the city and state and Dave Mc
Culloch was the only witness for
the state, though the defendant
and his one witness, Joe Andrews,
proved to be equally as much-needed
to make out a case against the
defendant. The witnesses testified
that the defendant had on last
Saturday taken an order from Mc
Culioch for half gallon of whiskey
and another from Andrews for the
same amount. It was taken from
the express office by Andrews and
Whitesell, and from the gallon
jug the whiskey was poured into
quart bottles and delivered to
McCulloch. The money was paid
when the order was taken. The
whiskey was ordered Saturday
morning and delivered the even
ing of the same day.
Mr. Scales said that under the
anti-jug law it was a misdemeanor
for anyone to ship whiskey in the
state of North Carolina, but on ac
count of the inter-state commerce
laws, the whiskey could be shipped
into the state. Mr. Scales further
argued that the inter-state com
merce law applies only to such
articles as are delivered to the
buyer in the original package.
This was not done in the case tried
as clearly shown by the evidence
Mayor Osborn said it clearly ap
peared to him to be a violation of
the law and defendant was re
quired to give a $200 bond for his
appearance at the May term of
superior court.
Doing Very Nicely.
Mrs. T. D. Pavlor underwent an
operation Saturday evening and
the physicians and nurses think
that she is doing very nicely. ier
many friends here will be pleased
to know that she is doing so well

This morning precisely at 10
o clock a wedding will be solemn
ized in Winston-Salem. The con
tracting parties will be Mr. John

parents having been secured for
the match. The ceremony will be
performed at the home of the
bride's parents in North Winston,
and Majistrate Lehman has already
been requested to be on hand to
tie the knot.
It is understood that Mr. and
Mrs. Poe will go to Indiana on
their bridal tour.
Later In an interview with a
Journal man last night Mr. Poe,
his voice somewhat choked with
grief, said that the wedding had
been called off. Some of the near
relatives of the bride-to-be. he said,
objected seriously to the match,
and had even gone far as to say
they would mob him if he attempt
ed to further press the ceremony,
threatening bodily harm.
Mr. Poe said, however, he had
not yet "given up hope " And it
was told on him last night that he
had offered a policeman $10 if he
would smooth matters over.

Orphans' Concert Tour.
On or about the tenth of May a
chapter of children fromthe Ox
ford Orphan Asylum will start up
on a concert tour of the eastern
part of North Carolina. After an
interval of several weeks spent at
Oxford, a tour of the middle and
western part of the State will be
gin the latter part of July.
The concert group is, this year,
composed of ten girls, four boys
with a lady and gentleman
in charge sixteen in all.
Our peoplehave learned to ex
pect from these boys and girls an
unusually bright, attractive enter
tainment. The cause represented by the
children strongly appeals to lovers
of God and humanity. To help
helpless, homeless children In such
a way that they will, likely .become
true helpers is indeed an important
duty and a high privilege.
Interest in the orphans' homes
of North Carolina is growing
stronger and stronger and a ready
and hearty response is always giv
en by our good people to the
claims and needs of these great in
stitutions. '
The outlook is bright for an ex
ceptionally valuable, successful
tonr of the Oxford Orphan Asylum
concert class this spring and sum-.
mer.
Today this institution is caring
for two hundred and seventy
children.
AN UNUSUAL
ENTERTAINMENT.
AN INTERESTING RECEPTION TO BE
TENDERED THE LADIES OF
HIGH POINT.
National Biscuit Company's Repre
sentatives Making Preparation for
Enjoyable Redeption in the Dr. Cox
Building, 33 North Main Street on
Wednesday Afternoon, to Which All
the Ladies of High Point are Cor
dially Invited.
Since Monday morning the El
wood Hotel has been one of the
busiest places in the city. It is the
headquarters of the special recep
tion and exhibition committee of
the National Biscuit Company, who
are here for the purpose of arrang
ing a novel and unusual reception
for the lldies of High Point this
Wednesday afternoon, in the
Dr. Cox building, 33 North Main
street, from two until five o'clock.
In this undertaking the Na
tional Biscuit Company has adopt
ed a method of illustrating the
possibilities of scientificbakingthat
is at once pleasant and practical,
and withal, unusual. Besides an
exhibit of many of their most
delicious products, the reception
will include other enjoyable feat
ures, the musical pari of the pro
gram being rendered by Leach's
Orchestra.
The National Biscuit Company
has arranged this reception, feeling
that every lady in High Point
ought to know, and will be inter
ested in knowing, the high degree
of purity and protection to which
they have brought the manufac
ture and marketing of their pro
ducts. They feel that every woman
who comes to know Uneeda Bi9cuit
to know their crisp, delicious
goodness, as well as the absolute
purity and cleanliness insured by
their package which excludes all
air and moisture, will never again
accept an ordinary soda cracker in
a common paper bag.
So many people have really
learned to know Uneeda Biscuit
that over three hundred million
packages have been sold, abd the
demand is ever increasing.
Following the popular approva
of Uneeda Biscuit, the protection
of a package which excludes all
air, dust and moisture was also
given to other delightful products
of the baker's art that had in the
meantime been perfected, and so
today tht trade mark of the Na
tional Biscuit Company, on each
end of p package of biscuit, crack
ers and wafers, is everywhere
recognized as a guarantee of qual
ity. Nabisco Sugar waters and Fes-
tino Almonds are two of the deli
cacies that will be served with the
refreshments at the reception .They
are among the most delicious of
the products of the National Bis
cuit Company, and are especially
appropriate as dessert confections.
The reception will be held in the
Dr. Cox building, 33 North Main
street, on Wednesday afternoon,
from two until 5 o'clock. There
will be appropriate refreshments,
including many of the finest pro
ducts of the National Biscuit Co.,
elaborate decorations and a hearty
welcome and pleasant intertain-
ment for all.
Capt. H. L. Fry Dead.
The community was shocked
this afternoon to learn of the death
of Capt. H. L. Fry, which occur
red at his home on Murray street
at 3:30 o'clock.
The funeral arrangements have
not yet been made. He sustained
a broken leg and was badly bruis;
ed in attempting to board a moving
train at High Point four weeks
ago, but was thought to be recov
ering, and the news of his death
will be a surprise to onr people.
He was engineer 01 maintenance
of way of the Southern Railway.
He is survived by 'a widow and
several children. Greensboro

John Lamb, of Edgar, while sit

which resulted in mangling both

Subway In Lexington.
nvery time editor Varner goes
to Raleigh to attend the State
Council, or Counsel of State, some
of his people evidently take him
for a stranger when he returns and
fill him with all sorts of ideas about
his town. He compels us to being
to mind the fable in the case when
the great object at a distance
proved to be finally a small 'speck
on the eye lash. Listen at this
from this weeks' Dispatch:
"In High Point they manufacture
street cars and furniture; in Thomasville
chairs, wagons and buggies, and now
Lexington is preparing to turn out iron
bedsteads. These three towns are close
together on the Southern Railway and
are making this state famous by the
goods they tnanufecture. This is espec
ially the case with Hih Point, but
Thomasville is a good second and Lex
ington is coming along." Charlotte
Chronicle.
In the interest of truth the fore
going, which appeared in the last
isse of the Dispatch, deserves some
comment. From it one would in
Ur that High Point and Thomas
ville are in the lead in manufac
turing and manufacturing invest
ments, High Point being first and
Thomasville second, while Lex
ington brings up the rear. Lex
ington has at this writing more
than one million dollars invested
in active manufacturing plants,
this total of investments being in
excess of the total at High Point
andLmore than three times greater
than the total at .Thomasville.
Dispatch.
We can't blame you bud, for
hustling along and taking hold of
our band, but don't look up into
our face and say you are the whole
thing. We glory in the prospc rity
of our neighbor and we expect to
take a trip up there some time so
brother Varner may show us along
that subway system for it must
ba under the ground that surplus
over HighPoint it is not on top
of it.
The Casper Case.
It was understood that an effort
was being made to settle the Cas
per case and it was called at one
o'clock in the Federal Court yes
terday, when ex-Judge W. P. By
num, Jr., of counsel for defendant,
arose and plead guilty to the first
count, whereupon District Attor
ney A.E. Holton prayed judgment
in two cases, asking that prayer in
one of them be continued upon
payment of costs. In the other
case Judge Boyd fined Casper $1,
425 75 and sentenced him to six
months imprisonment, the impris
onment sentence to be remitted
upon payment of fines and costs,
which aggregate in the neighbor
hood of $10,000.
A libel suit for $6,575, 25 against
Casper became a judgment when
he plead guilty. The Casper ease
has been in court for three years
and was continued for five terms
and the court costs amount to over
$1,000. He was charged with de
frauding the government in the
conduct of a big liquor establish
ment at Winston-Salem.
Meeting With Difficulties.
The Highway Commission has
a large force of bands at work
grading and macadamizing the
road leading to Summerfield, and
has completed the work on about
four miles of the road, reaching
now nearly to the battle ground.
There is much trouble over getting
water for the rock crusher and for
sprinkling purposes where the
work is now being done. Two
wells have been dug, requiring
much work and blasting, only to
find no water at the bottom. The
superintendent is also short of
hands, needing at least twenty-five
more than are at work. Another
trouble has been experienced In
getting sufficient rock on the sec
tion now being improved. Ar
rangement has been made to bring
Tock by the Southern Railway from
Mt. Airy, and as the railroad runs
parallel with the dirt road, there
will be no other hauling neccessa
ry, and the rock will be actually
cheaper thus obtained than that
hauled from the sparsely supplied
near by fields. There will be no
trouble about rock or water when
Jleedy Fork is reached.
PRETTY HOME WEDDING.
Miss Ora Miller Married to Mr. J. F.
Pike, of High Point.
A pretty home wedding was sol
emnized Thursday afternoon at 3
o'clock at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. J. A. L. Millar, on Broad
street, when their daughter, Miss
Ora Miller, was married to Mr. J.
T. Pike, of Hifch Point.
The home was attractively dec
orated for t e occasion. The cere-
rony was preceded by two wed
ding songs excellently rendered by
Miss Ruby Woolen, accompanied
by Miss Hattie Dull. The wed
ding march was played by Miss
Edna Swink, and the maid of hon
or, Miss Ada Miller, of Salisbury,
entered, followed by the groom and
his best man, Mr. Ernest McCall,
of High Point. The bride, attired
in becoming white, carrying a
bouquet of bride's roses, entered on
the arm of here father.
When the ceremony was over
the happy young people received
the congratulations of relatives and
friends present. The gifts were
numerous and appropriate.
Mr. and Mrs. Pike left on the
afternoon train for their home in
High Point. They were escorted
to the depot by a number of friends

A G ood Thing, But
I notice through the columns o
the Enterprise that the City Fath
ers have raised the fine from on
ten dollars for shooting within-
the Incorporate limits, which was,
no doubt, done to put a stop to the.
promiscous shooting on the streetse
at night. So far, so good, but
wouldn't it help matters consid
erable to offer a reward of$5.oo to
each person furnishing evidence
sufficient to convict such parties.
In this way such law breakers
would soon be ferreted out and
then the money to come into the
city treasury would still be more
than when it was only $1 for such
an offense. Citizen.
