HIGH POINT MAN HUNTS
FOR HIS ELOPING WIFE
Richmond, Va., Jan. 27. John
Hardgrave, 25 years old, of High
Poiijt, N. C, .. asked the police of
South Richmond to-day to aid him
in his search for his wife. Norma
Sluder .Hardgrave, who disappeared
from home about a . week ago. -He
believes she eloped with Baxter
Webster, also of High Point, and
he says he has reason to suspect
that the pair are now in South
Richmond. - He was in tears as he
told the story and before leaving the
station left a photo of his wife with
the police. He says he will take
his wife back to High Point and for
get the past, if she will return with
him. The police promised to do all
in their power to assist him. '

If a $25,000 enterprise shows up
on the tax books at $5,000 is Jt
right? We have it in cold figures

THE ORIGIN, WORK AND PLANS
OF THE BUREAU OF SOCIAL
HYGIENE
The Bureau of Social Hygiene
came into existence about two years
ago, as a result of the work of the
Special Grand Jury appointed to
investigate the whHe slave traffic
in New York City, which served
during the first half of the year
1910. One of the recommendations
made by it -in the presentment
handed up at the termination of its
labors was that a public commis
sion be appointed to study the social
evil. The foreman of that "body
subsequently gave careful considera
tion to the character of the work
which might properly be done by
such a commission and the limita
tions under which it would operate.
In this connection, separate,, person
al conferences were held with over
a hundred leading men and women
in the, city, among whom werej
lawyers, physicians, business men,
bank presidents, presidents of com
mercial organizations, clergymen,
settlement workers, social workers,
labor leaders, and reformers. These
conferences developed the feeling
that a Dnblic commission would
labor under a number of disadvant
ages, sucn as the fact that it would
be short lived; that its work would
be done publicly; that at best it
could hardly do more than present
recommendations. The conviction
also grew that the main reason why
more permanent results had not
been obtained by the various organ
izations which had dealt with the
s ibject of the social evil duiing the
p ist ten or fifteen years was that
m )st of them were temporary.
Waile active, they materially im
prjved the situation, but as their
efforts were relaxed, there came the
i nevitable return to much the same
c ndiMons as before. The forces of
eil are never greatly alarmed at
the organization of investigating or
reform bodies, for they know that
they are generally composed of busy
people, who cannot turn aside from
their own affairs for any great length
of time to carry onv reforms, and
that sooner or later their efforts will
cease,- and the patient denizens of
tie underworld and their exploiters
can then reappear and continue the
traffic as formerly.
i So the conviction grew that in
order to make a real and lasting
improvement in conditions, a per
manent organization should be
created, the continuation of which
would not be dependent upon a
temporary wave of reform, nor upon
the life of any man or group of men,
but which would go on, generation
after generation, continuously mak
ing warfare against the forces of
evil. It also appeared that a private
organization would have, among
other advantages, a certain freedom
from publicity and from political
bias, which a publicly appointed
commission could not so easily avoid.

IMPORTANT MEETING
Annt Proposed Sunday Legislation
Resolutions Drafted
The meeting held at the Sevtnth
Day Adventist, Church. Jan. 25.
1913 resolved itself into what might
be termed a mass meeting when
resolutions were passed remonstrat
ing against proposed Sunday legis
lation now before the United States
Senate in Congress in Washington,
D. C. The resolution were brought
before the congregation by B. A.
Rogers, Elder of the church, and
were passed unanimously. They
read as follows: '
Whereas, The Johnston Snnday
Bill, now pending in the Senate of
the United States; is religious in its
character, in that it is designed to.
foster the religious observance of
Sunday, and, -
Whereas, the exemption clause
attached to one of the sections of
this bill indicate most clearly its
religious character, by exempting
from the application of this section
those, who- belong to a religious
society which observe some .other
day of the week than .Sunday as a
Sabbath, and,
Whereas, religious legislation . is
contrary both to the spirit and letter
of the Constitution of the United
States, and if carried1 to its logical
conclusion means a union of church
and state, and the! persecution of
dissenters; therefore,
, Resolved, That we- respectfully,
but .earnestly, remonstrate against
the passage of this bill, or any other
bill requiring the observance of Sun
day as a rest day which may come
before the Senate.
Similiar resolutions were passed
in every one of the 2000 Seventh
Day Adventist churches in the
United States, thus showing that
about 70,000 members in tnis de
nomination alone are strongly op-,
posed to any kind of Sunday, legis
lation. Elder Rogers said the reason
Seventh Day Adventists are so
vigorously opposed to. the Johnston!
i r- W - Kill i r m t t r si i i f Avi
the passage of it would be the first
step towards the union of church
and state, which would ultimately
bring persecution upon dissenters.
It was stated that not only are
Seventh Day Adventists opposed
to Sunday legislation, but also thou
sands of others who love religious
liberty.
In giving further reasons why his
denomination is opposed to Sunday
legislation, Elder Rogers said:
"Our denomination has always
stood for the entire separation of
church and state, and has earnestly
opposed, all attempts at religious
legislation. Sunday laws we be
lieve to be religious laws; therefore
we are uncompromisingly opposed
to all legislation in behalf of Sunday
observance. Sunday is a religious
institution; its observance is a reli
gious act; a law" enforcing that ob
servance is a religious law; there
fore we believe it should not exist
in this country. We " would be un
compromisingly opposed to any
legislation for"the enforcement of
the seventh dav of the week. The!
Sabbath is a religion? institution,
antf its observance is a religious act,
and from our standpoint it wjuld be
entirely wrong for the state to at
tempt any legislation for the obs. r
vance of the seventh diy of the
week. The same may be said re
garding baptism, prayer, or anything
else pertaining to religion. We be
lieve that Christ, the founder of
the church, taught the complete
separation of the church from the
state; and this we believe, should
be the attitude of every professed
follower of him.
"Now as to our attitude regarding
a law to close the saloons on Sun
day. It is well known by all who
know anything c about Adventists
that they are uncompromisingly op
posed to the saloon on all days of
the week. We believe that they
aje a menace to the welfare of the
state, and that they should not be
permitted to carry on their destruc
tive work; therefore we ioin in any
movement to secure laws for closing
the saloons entirely."
Looks like if High Point wanted
a railroad she could get it, we mean
a real competitive railroad and not
a dummy line. That's what we
need and must have if we ever ex
pect to do really big things in the
future. .

AYCOCK COUNTY FIGHT TO
BE MADE IN HOUSE
Says the Greensboro News: v
Though it is evident that the ma
jority of people living in Guilford,
Randolph and Davidson counties do
not look with favor upon the plan
to dismember these counties that
the county of Aycock may be cre
ated, there has, nevertheless, devel
oped little organized opposition to
the new county. It looks now as
though only a small number of
people will go to Raleigh next week
to fight the Gold bill, which would
create Aycock county when it
comes up in . com mittee. The prin
cipal reason for "the lack of organi
zed opposition is due to the fact
that the people generally do not be
lieve the Aycock county advocates
have a ghost of a show at this ses-
sion. Many members of the assem
bly have expressed themselves as
opposed to the creation of any
more counties at this time, and the
opponents of the new county are of
the opinion that the sentiment of
the majority in the legislature is
against increasing the number.
People who have been to Raleigh
have noted the sharp contrast in
the campaign being waged by the
Aycock county supporters. Two
years ago the High Pointers had a
campaign headquarters and distrib
uted souvenirs and favors promis
cuously. This year the campaign
is described as of the "gumshoe"
sort, though it said a number of
earnest aud able workers are in
Raleigh in behalf of Aycock county.
mi . . i . .
ine new county auvocates, it is
said, have laid their plans to keep
under cover until the bill comes
before the house, then they propose
to put forth tneir greatest efforts
Of course, should the house kill the
bill it will be "good night" for Ay.
cock county at this session; but if
the house does give its sanction the

however, the possibility of its

it.
HERE'5 HOPING
The editor has received two let
ters from legislators, who are in sym
pathy with our new county move
ment, and have so expressed them
selves. Three others we wrote said
they would give us a fair and im
partial hearing. Looks good, but
we. must leave no stone unturned
for its success. Greensboro don't
think we stand any show, but
Greensboro don't do High Point's
thinking every time.
In regard to the new county we
trust that a report going the rounds
is not true that in the event the
new county proposition falls down
this time, that the legislature will
be asked to allow High Point to
extend the limits of the recorder's
court, build a mammoth Munic
ipal building and in a way off
set the county project. On the
face of the thing it looks pretty
good, but when one looks into it
more closely it doesn't look so good.
In this connection it has been
asked why the Qity of High Point
gave 12,500 for a lot near the post
office for a municipal building when
it already had a good building on
Jordan srreet and by buying the
corner lot just above; could hav'e
made a jim dandy mnnicipal build
ing by building ip to the present
city halh This lot would have been
almost twice as large and could have
been bought, we learn, just as
cheap. Besides it is nearer the city
of High Point and will be. much
nearer in a few years as the home
builders are going northward instead
of Southward.
