ADVANCE IN PRICE OF
SHOES.
Boston, Mass., Jan. 18. The
price of shoes is going up. Of
ficial announcement to this effect
was made yesterday by the Na
tional Shoe Wholesalers' Asso
ciation. The association says
that the existing high prices of
leather and materials makes the
increase necessary, but that the
new prices will be so adjusted as
to "permit the addition to each
grade of such value as will com
pensate the wearer for increased
cost "
The association's approval of
the repeal of the duty on hides
was unanimously voiced.

UNDER CHARGES
OF GRAFT
Special to Enterprise.
Washington, 1). C, Ian. iK.
Somewhat waning interest in the
investigation of the so-called Pal
linger-Pinchot controversy was
quickly revived in Congress yes
terday by sensational charges
against Secretary ltallinger, of
the Interior Department, am
other officials, filed bv Reprc-.cn
tative Hitchcock (Democrat), of
Nebraska, with -the committee of
expenditures in the Interior De
partment, and incidentally by the
Senate's adoption of the investi
gation resolution as agreed upon
in conference. The House will
adopt ihe resolution todav.
The most important allegation
of Mr. Hitchcock is that funds of
the Interior Department were im
properly used in paying private
traveling expenses of Secretary
Ballinger's nephew. The secre
tary and other officials of the In
terior Department will be sub
poenaed before the House Com
mittee on Expenditures, to which
Mr. Hitchcock's charges were ad
dressed. The statement asserts that
when Mr. ltallinger became Com
missioner of the General Land
Office, the position he held before
entering the Cabinet, he reduced
the salary of I. aw Clerk Wright
so that Judge right's Sj.ooo
salary "could be given to ack
I'.allingcr, his nephew, not under
the tilleo f law clerk, but under
the title, created bv Mr. Balling
er's order, of confidential clerk I
ha e been told Wright died 1 .1'
disapopint nient and humiliation
soon thereofater."
CHINESE NEW YEAR.
Local Chinese will celebrate
their Xew Year's Day on Febru
ary 8.
The Chinese New Year is a
great an institution as the Xew
Year of other peoples, and it is
their greatest feast. All the home
delicacies are imported from
China for the occasion, and the
fun lasts for the full twenty-four
hours. Friend- write congratu
latory letter- to each other, and
send presents. Sometime- the
letter- contain only a few word-,
some times they are a vard long,
and considering the oriental hvro-glvphic-.
a Chinese letter a yard
long will mean an cngli-h letter
l yards long.
MR. GUIGNARD RESIGNS.
Mr. S. W. Guignard. rector of
St. Andrew- Episcopal church, of
Grecn-boro. and also St. Mary's
church. High Point, has tendered

The Enterprise does not know

Guignard in announcing his

.his future plans.
AN INDIANA VISITOR.

CONCERNING NEW
INDUSTRY
A few days ago the Enterprise
published a short notice about
the probable organisation of a
cotton mill in High Point. We
have since learned that this com
pany is to be composed entirely
of High Point people. The capi
tal stock will be Sio.ixki. Those
who aie interested 111 this mill,
we understand, will be W. P. and
M Pickett. . W. I arris, J. I
Welch, J. Flwood Cox. Ed. I.
Ragan and R. R. Ragan. The
stock has been made up and we
understand that there will be an
other meeting veiy son nto lay
out the plan- of the company.
This i- all the information we
could get for publication at this
time, but in a few days we hope
to give full particulars. These
gentlemen are well able to con
duct a cotton mill on a large scale
and the people of High Point will
be pleased that thev have decid
ed to begin this work.

THE GLORIOUS WEST.

Competence t"i his family, but a

acres Mr. Tale owns a 40-acre
ranch out a few miles from Mis
soula, which is very promising.
It will be interesting to the
readers ot the Enterprise to
know that Missoula is the home
of Senator Joe I ixon, the ( iuil
ford county bov who was so well
anl favorably known in this sec
tion. Senator Joe Dixon owns
both the newspapers in Missoula
and is now having erected on
Main street in the city a large
six-story office building at a cost
of ,Si5o.(xx).
Speaking of the crops in that
state Mr. Tate tells us that the
apple crop is enormous and yields
the growers rich harvests. The
people of the east arc settling in
the Bitter Root Valley very rap
idly and the city of Missoula is
destined to double its population
within a few years.
Mr. Tate is here on a visit to
his mother, who has been quite ill
and will remain in the city for a
week or ten days. His many
friends are pleased to see him.
