"All Aboard for High Point." '
J. y The yersion of the Greensboro
North State as to the source of
the above common saying is as
follows: -
In 1853, when the North Caro
lina railroad was in. course 6fJcph
struction and the survey unfinished
there were a considerable number
of . V sub;engineers,ij chain-bearers
and other attaches constantly go
ing up and down the road."? ' :AH
of these 'were under the! direct
supervision of Col. "Walter Gwynn,
of Richmond, Va., thief engi'n eer."
fcAftrlre4dgfg.J)f the road had
passed Hillsboro. coming' west
the headquarters of the "criain-
gangM were made at High Point,
it being the most desirable locality
from which to make observations.
At this point most of the subordr
7uitds"of"The - chief -engineer : wve
wont, to congregate. Here they
slpt and bad their mealsu ? A con
struction or observation train ran
from this place to and fromdif
frent; stations on the route. At
night when business was over they
usually embarked for their pivotal
point, and, when ready, the cry
was usually, "AH aboard for High
Point." This from thenceforth
passed into a common saying
"which endureth to the present
.in

only means enough have ' been
raised to lay the foundation for
the pedestal, and the fund ' is
Still nearly $200,000 short. The
delay in providing for the. recep

amounts to almost a personal dis
courtesy, but fortunately ? for the
credit of the rich men of Gotham,
the 1 good-natured sculptor: does
not look' at it in that light.

as' A the : Flagtown mine, and was
bought by the President a' short
time before he was assassinated.
President Garritld not only bought
the mine, but established at the
mine a postoffice called Flagtown.
The mine has been lying idle, but
