MERCHANTS 01? THE RIGHT
TRACK.
The merchants of High Point have
organized for mutual interests and
one of the most important things is
to protect themselves against the
dead beats who live off of the mer
chants. A black list will be kept
and those who won't pay their debts
will be put on this list. The 'slow
payers' will also be spotted. If the
merchants stick together as a whole
they can reform the credit system of
this city to almost perfection. Those
merchants who sell for cash are also
benefitted immensely by joining the
association. ' ' x

FACTS IN HISTORY
Mr. VV. J. Armfield, Sr. was in
our office last Saturday and related
several facts of interest. He said
"Today, 52 years ago, General
Beanreguard fired on Fort Sumter in
Charleston Harbor. It was the real
beginning of the Civil War. A
small jriat took-;, ptecei inOiftimrC
before that time, but the fire on Fort
Sumter was the first real attack."
Mr. Armfield also recalled that at
about this time last year were heavy
rains throughout this section, wash
ing away many of the bridges a.id
doing much other damage.
NAMK OF STREET CHANGED
At the regular meeting of the City
Council Monday, a petition was
presented by property owners and
others residing on Dee Allen Street
in the western section of the
City, !
to have the name of this street
changed to Adams Street, in honor
of Mr. J. H. Adams of Jhe High
Point Hosiery MHls, who is having
erected in that locality quite a large
number of dwelling houses. The
Council gladly acceded 'to the re
quest, and by proper proceedure
changed the nane to Adams Street.
Small Boy's Essay.
Here's a small boy's essay on
newspapers. He ought to make a
good editor when ht grows up:
"Newspapers are sheets of paper
on which stuff to read is printed.
The men look over it and see their
names in it. I don't know hov
newspapers came into the world, i
don't think God does. The Bibie
says nothing about editors, and I
never heard of one being in heaven.
The first editor I heard of was a fel
low who wrote up the flood. He
has been here ever since. Some
editors belong to the- church and
some try to raise whiskers. All of
them raise Cain in their neighbor
hood. Sometimes the paper dies
and then Deople feel glad, but some
one starts it up again. Editors never
went to school because editors don t
get licked. Our paper is a mighty
poor one but we take it so ma can
use it on her pantry shelves. Our
editor don't amount to much, but
pa savs he had a poor chance when
a boy. He goes without under
clothes in winter, wears no socks
and has a wife to support him. Fa
has not paid his subscription m five
years and don't intend to."
Look out for burglars they are
prowling around here as well as m
other towns.

Had Their Nerve
v On opening his store- Monday
morning Mr. Ed. W Freeze was
astonished to find that unwelcome
guests had entered sometime the
night before and appropriated much
valuable merchandise belonging to
the: Cannon & Fetzer Co, in the way
of-shoes. shirts, suit cases, clothing
and other articles, the total being
iomethiog Jke $250.00. Entrance
was affected through a rear window,
by breaking the glass and lifting a
latch. It seems that the prowlers
had their nerve with them and took
plenty of time to thoroughly look
over the entire store, throwing things
they did. not want rigHt and left and
even went to one of the front win
dows and took- a chnira suit - nf
fclothes. It would take more than
pile man to carry off the goods
stolen, Mr. Freeze thinks. An old
coat and pair of gloves were-; found
in the rear of the store and it is
Quite likely the thieves wore off a

IS THE EARTH LARGE ENOUGH?
v If the earth is to hold the resur
rected myriads of mankind, as the
Scriptures declare (Ezekiel 16:55) ,
trie resurrection must take place
soon, as enough of mankind have
now been born to nearly fill it. In
1815 its population was 667,000,000
based on estimates of Volney, 1804,
of 437,000,000, Pinkcrton 1805, of
700,000,000, Malte-Brun, 1810, of
640,000,050, Morse, 1812, of 776,
000,000, Graberg von Hemso, 1813,
of 686,000,000, Balbi, 1816, of 704,
000,000 and Balbi, 1843, of 739,
000,000. Within the past fifty
years the population has doubled,
due tn fppr ywaK and imnro ed
methods of food production and

The Bond Issue Meeting Jlonday Night
A good crowd was on hand at the
Citizens Mass Meeting at the Indus
trial Club rooms Monday night to
hear discussed the proposed bond
issues for larger and better school
facilities and for the further exten
sion Of the water lines and building
a large pure water storage reservoir
inside the city. Those present re-;
presented every calling and line of
our industrial life.
Mayor Tate opened the meeting
by briefly outlining and explaining
the necessities for both the bond
issues in question and also the
ability of the city from a financial
point of view, to properly care for
these obligations, without placing
any burden or hardship . upon the
taxpayers. The Mayors explana
tion of the manner .by which the 1
cinlrinrf fnnHa fnr thaoa "Sosnaa mau!
be provided aud. maintained by
Building and Loan stock and the
most rapid earnings in this man e;
is a very plausible one and will no
doubt appeal to the people as being
a practical, business-like and ad
vantageous method of increasing
the city's assets, provided for the
retirement at maturity of all our
bond issues, and at the same time
give High Point the money now
with which to carry on these im
provements so much needed.
A number of citizens responded
to the Mayor's invitation to speak
on - the proposition and a special
request was made of those present,
if there were any, who opposed the
measure, to express their views and I
to ask any question if further light 1
was needed.
There were no speech
es or any indication that any per
son present opposed these bond is
sues and no doubt that when the
proposition is clearly put before the
voters, there will be practically no
opposition.
One feature of the forthcoming
election that appears to be unusual
ly fair, and that is, there will be
provided separate ballots and sepa
rate boxes for the school bonds from
the water bonds, so that every voter
may take his choice and vote for all
or part just- as he prefers:
MOB GOVERNMENT
( Woodrow Wilson in "The New Free
dom.")
I am not afraid of the American
people getting up and doing some
thing. I am only afraid they will
not; and when I hear a popular vote
spoken of as mob government, I feel
like telling the man who dares so to
speak that he has no right to call
himself an American. You can not
make a reckless, passionate force
out of a body of sober people earn
ing their living in a free country?
Just picture to yourself the voting
population of this great land, from
the sea to. the far borders in., the
mountainsgoing calmly, man by
man, to the polls, expressing its
judgment about public affairs: Is
that your image of a "mob?"
What is a mob? A mob is a
body of men in hot contact with
one another, moved by ungovern
able passion to do a hasty thing that
they will regret the next day. Do
you see anything resembling a mob
in that voting population of the
countryside, men tramping over the
mountains, men going to the general
store up in the village, men moving
in Httle groups to the country groc
ery to cast their ballots is that
your notion of a mob? Or is that
your picture af a free self-governing
people? I am not afraid of the
judgment so expressed, if you give
men time to think, if you give them
a clear conception of the things
they are to vote for, because the
deepest conviction and passion of
my heait is that the common peo
ple, by which I mean all of us, are
to be absolutely trusted.
And so Col. Osborne of Greens
bOra, gets the plum, Commissioner
of Internal Revenue of the United
States, succeeding Cable. Here's to
this lucky Tar Heel. Surely N. C.
is getting the best pickings but then
we have the men. ?

A dapper little type salesman
from Chicago one day dropped into
a country office in southern Illinois
and finding the boss out, approached
the pretty typo.
"Nice day, little one," he began.
"Yes, indeed," she answered, "and
so was yesterday and the day before
and my name is Sadie, and I know
I'm a peach, and have, beautiful
hair and pretty brown eyes, and I've
workeoyiere quite a while and like
the place, and I don't think I'm too
nice to be working in a printing of
fice, and my wages suit me, and I
don't want to go to a picture show
tonight, and if I did I would not go
with you; and my husband is editor
of this paper and he weighs 200
pounds, and last week he landed on
a fresh $50-a-month paper man
who tried to make a date with me.
Now what can I do for you?" '
"Guess I'll have to hurry to catch
