The experiment here has reached that point where Stehli & Co., are convinced thot this industry must be pushed on a large scale in this country and High Point is the most desirable place for the work. This is good news for High Point, but this is not all. There is something else behind it all. It has been intimsted to the En terprise that this new factory will bring also a much larger plant here and the outlook is that Hich Point will soon have a mammoth plant in connection with this. that the new circuit will be com pleted in about two w.eks. Tbe work of stringing the wire will he- gin today. The Guilford-Benbow Hotl ,c always doing new things to keep modern.

Beattie said thatFred was about to set fire to the dwelling.he told him that a friend, Cronettand his family would get burned up as well as Stanly, and Ozement (said "Weil I'll give Stanly a streak of hell and burn his store and barn'' and proceeded to do it, while he and Prince were afraid to do any thing or make an outcry.
