Joe Clary, a Greensboro boy who has lived in New York for several years, came near losing his life by asphyxiation in a New York hotel one day this week. He was lying at the door un- ! conscious when the gas leakage was discovered by one of the hotel porters. A man named Johnson in whose room Clary was spending the night, was found in bed dead. An ambu- lance was summoned and Clary was taken to a hospital where he soon recovered. lhe news oj the mistiap was brought to Greensboro by a let ter written by Clary to his moth er, who lives here. The letter goes on to say that Tohnson in vited Clary to spend the night with him in his Toccn. Either FwrteTrtlcmaJly or by mistake Johnson left the jet open with fatal result to himself, while Clary had a narrow escape. Industrial News Encouraging Outlook. High Point has everything to encuorage her people to greater undertakings. Through the se verest panic that ever struck the country we have come out whole. Our condition along all business lines being far above the average. We want new enterprises here and there are many good open- lntgs, 'bat it circumstances should prove so that no new plants were established during the year, we would still have plenty of work ahead of us. Just think for a moment of our sixty industries here. H these were increased just ten per cent every year, we would have a population of 20,000 in a short time. And it will be done. But we do not lay down on the proposition of new plants. They will come along with the increase in the capacity of the plants now in operation, making our progress all the more rapid. We think that under the cir cumstances, High Point made its best record 'in 1008 and we should be encouraged. Civic League. There was a meeting of the terday and at the reguest of the mayor sent in a special rcpori ibout ihe work. Opera House.

Alexander, Charlotte, on the occasion of Lee and - 1 Jackson birthdays: Alter iorty years of patient I mquiry and reflection, history decrees that he deserves as much love and esteem as any 08 the great captains of warfare. Aus terity may undoubtedly be de tected in his character, but be yond this the more careful th scrutiny the more will it appear noble and lofty, free from all taint oi perfidy, of cruelty, of in gratitude, ot envy. Men may be easily named in whom some particular good characteristic has been more conspicuous than m Jackson, but the just harmo ny of all soldierly qualities, the exact temper between the stern and humane virtues, the habitual observances of every law, not on ly of profound moral rectitude but of moral grace and dignity, modesty and quiet determination U9tingui9he1 him from all men who have ,h.pn tri(v1 hv liauT portent circumstances, and : J a J. about which we possess equally full information. He was also without contradiction the most picturesque figure in the civil war. Not so high in command as General Lee, but possessed of a far more unique personality In Jackson existed simultaneous ly two entitles, apparently alien and incompatible that of mill tary genius of the highest de gree and religious fervor bor dering on fanaticism. The sim ple Presbyterian elder and the grim undaunted warrior a un ion of soldier and saint, unprece- dented in history, save probably by Cromwell. "Ladies and Gentlemen ; truth and eloquence nestle often in simplest words: Let me para phrase the language of a great American jurist, and in so do ing leave with you a terse yet composite portrait oi your hero. A little while at Lexington, in the valley of Virginia, I stood the beautiful cemetery, beside the grave of Stonewall Jackson ; I leaned over the balustrade which encloses the scared spot and gazed upon the sample shaft that marks the final resting place of that restless man. I saw him in his youth combating the problem oi life in the backwoods of Virginia and enforcing the laws of his State; I saw him en ter West Point and by patient toil and application lay well the foundation for his future great ness; 1 saw him 'breveted at Cherubusco and again Chapulte- pec; 1 saw him devoting his time and talent for ten years to the instruction of the cadets at the Virginia Military Academy; I saw him at Manassas amid a baptism of fire christened by the gallant Lee as "Stonewall Jack son; I saw him at Romney, at Richmond and at Kernstown; I saw him refwte forever the (rep robation of disloyalty by cling ing to the Union until his State was invade 1; I saw him move swiftly and scatter the Union forces like winter's withered leaves ;I saw him upon the frightr ful field of Chancellorsville, where like Epaminondas in the hour of victory he laid his life upon the altar of his country ; I saw his body wrapped in the stars and bars he had so ably de fended borne across his native State amid the eloquence of ap probation and the sobs of mourning. "And slowly nad sadly they laid him down From the field of his fame firesh and gory But little he'd reck of they let him sleep on In the grave where the South- cina iiciui juru 111111, and I thought of the power for all that is good and grand and noble his life and his example would be ere hoary centuries shall have planted upon the yet juvenescent brow bi the new South the venerable crown of antiquity; and I solid that even that cruel war with all its at tendant horrors, misery, wrong and sacrifice, was in some meas ure atoned for by the glorious ideal it had forever stereotyped on the hearts of men in the charac ter and career of Lieutenant General Thomas Jonathan Jack- States And Keep Straight.
