E. Wilson and A. T. Heaver, of High Point, and Mr II. C Kortnian, travelling sales man for John Duer & Sons, Bal timore, were severely injured. Yesterday being a holiday quite a number of people were out pic- nicing and attending the ball games at Greensloro and Win stun. Mr. Wilson made up a party and started to Greensboro. At the place designated above, the auto struck something in the road which caused a sudden turn ing. Mr. Wilson, who was driv ing the machine, tried to right it, when the machine turned over and then turned back again, throwing the occupants out. all of them striking on their shoulders and heads. The front of the ma chine was turned towards High Point, with axles bent, steering gear broke and otherwise de molished. Two of the occupants were ren dered unconscious. Mrs. Wilson and Mr. Fortman. Mr. Wilson was unconscious for about an hour. As soon as possible the accident was made known to some neighbors and very soon Vhere was plenty of help from Mr. Iliatt's family and others, who brought bandages and liniment and did everything in their pow er to alliviate the sufferings of the injured. Mr. Farley went out, in his machine and brought the party in, reaching the city about 6 o'clock. Mr and Mrs. WHson were attended by Drs. Turner and Jones at their office and Mr. Heaver and Fortman by Dr. Stan ton at the Klwood. News of the accident spread very rapidly over the community and there were many inquiries as to the condition of the injured. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson were able to go to their homes early in the night. The Injuries. Mrs. Wilson gash over eye, cut on cheek and forehead, arm and hand sprjaWied. Mr. Wilson Three gashes on his head and face, back sprained. Mr. Heaver Collar-bone broke. 'arge gah on left side of head, bruised on hands Mr. Fortman gash over eye and bruised in several places on face, bruised about the body. From what the Enterprise could learn none of the injuries will prove permanent and it is hoped that few scars will be left. Ir. Wilson will probably have to remain in bed three weeks, while Mr. Heaven's broken collar bone will keep him away from business two or three weeks. Mr. Fortman hopes to be able to go home tomorrow night. The accident is the worst that has occurred among the automo bilists here and the occupants of the car are fortunate that they came out as well as they did. DR. BURRUS RETURNS. Dr. J. T. Rurrus, who has been in New York attending lectures and doing special work at, the Polychinic for several weeks, re turned home Sunday, after a very profitable stay at this famous in stitution.

Ragan Wednes PARTY SERIOUS ACCIDENT DEATH OF PENN PICKETT The sympathy of the people of this entire community goes out to Mr. and Mrs. W P. Pickett on account of the death of their eld est son, William Penn Pickett, which occurred at the sahitarium at Montrose Sunday evening about 6 o'clock. The remains were brought home yesterday af ternoon, accompanied by John Pickett. J. M. Harrell and James Milliard, who were with deceased at the time of his death. William Penn Pickett was born in High Point, December 18th, 1886, and was consequently in his 24th year at the time of his death. He was educated in the citv schools and afterwards held a position at the Commercial Na tional Hank. About two years ago he had an attack which dis closed symptoms of tuherculosis Since that time he has fought bravely and patiently for im provement without avail. Last summer he spent some time in the mountains of North Carolina and some of the time this winter at Montrose. His strength was not equal to the battle and on Sun day evening he passed peacefully away. Penn Pickett was a bright. promising boy, full of life and hope, and was a favorite at home and among his many young friends. His demise is a sore af fliction to the family and their many friends in the community sympathize with them in theiT deep sorrow. He was a Christian Ixiy and died with the full hope of a better resurrection. The funeral services were held this afternoon at 3 o'clock from Main Street M P. church, con ducted by Rev. A. (i. Dixon and Rev. W. R. Lowdermilk. The at tendance was large and the floral offerings very beautiful. The following were the pall bearers: J. H. Rountree, V. A J. Idol. John Dyer, E. R. Carr, Jas per Shelton and Joe Tomlinson. DAVIDSON WINS Davidson won in the annual debate from Wake Forest in a spirited contest for the silver cup before a large audience in Greens boro yesterday. The base ball honors had been lost to Davidsdln but they came out long on ora tory. Until next Faster Monday, when the Presbyterians and Hap tists will again send forth their best orators with the sole purpose of providing a permanent resting place for the trophy. The question "Resolved, That the Legislative Initiative and Ref erendum Should Re Introduced in Our State Governments," was one that has puzzled the ablest states men of the country for a genera tion and the manner in which the debaters presented the four able arguments was a distinct credit, not only to them, but to the col leges which they represent. In upholding the affirmative Messrs. H. B. Jones and J. B. Eller, of Wake Forest, presented the sub ject in a forceful and eloquent manner, and though vanquished by Messrs. W. H. R. Campbell and D. A Lynch, they were not without glory and in the demon stration that followed the an nouncement of the judges, Hon. J. C. Buxton, W. P. Rynum and R. M. Douglass, they received just as much of an ovation as did the victors. NOTICE. Attention is called to the" ordin ance about sweeping the side walks In front of the business COMMENCEMENT SPEAKERS The speakers for the next an nual commencement of the High Point High School have been se cured. 1 Right Rev. Robert Strange, of Wilmington, Bishop of East Car olina, will' preach the sermon on Sunday morning. May 8. Prof. V.. C. Rrooks, of Trinity College. Durham, will deliver the annual address on Monday evening. May 9. The school and the city are to be congratulated on such good fortune. It is not putting it too strong to say that Bishop Strange is not surpassed in this country as a pulpit orator. He is espe cially strong in talking to young people. His sermon will surely be an event to be remembered. Prof. Brooks is one of the two or three most prominent and in lluential school men in the stale. After a brilliant record as a school superintendent, he was called to Trinity College to or ganize the new Department of Education, where he is doing some really constructive work for the educational development of Xorth Carolina. He is editor gf Xorth Carolina Educator, a monthly journal which is a worthy exponent of the teaching profession of the state SATURDAY NIGHT CLOS ING. Sunday morning one week ago all the pastors in tojvn called at tention to the propriety and to the advisability of closing all stores and shops not later tlian nine o'clock on Saturday nights. This would be a great relief to all the working forces in all the stores, and now that we are jiM at that season when all the mer chants are closing earlier in the evenings any uav. why not all make an ell'ort at an earl)' Satur day closing as well. The merchants would sell just as many goods and the people would be just :ls well supplied as with the present arrangements. A great deal of loafing ami hanging around on the streets would bp broken up ami people generally would get to their homes earlier. .Nothing that we can think of would help to in crease the attendance at Sunday school and at the church services more than the early Saturday closing. It will be good for the merchants and good for the trad ing people, and all can begin to get ready Saturday night for the Sundav service. RECEPTION TO NIGHT The reception of the Manufac turers Club tonight will be from 9 to 11.30. All the members and their families, together with lady visitors are cordially invited. Music by the Italian Rand, one of the best in the state. STILL BEARING FRUIT When the State Missionary Society met here last year the Enterprise presented each lady, about 400 of them, with a book of High Point. At the meeting at Oxford last week a score of ladies mentioned the matter again and gave evidence of their apprecia tion of this handsome souvenir which has been doing good work for our city. llMfcOrylag IIICUPRICS8 ; Duy1 Four Cans Fancy Apples for 26o. at J. Ilodrlolio TRIED TO BURN OUT FARMERS' GROCERY STORE Early Sunday morning fire was discovered in the Farmers' Cash Grocery Store, in the Simmons block, on Main street, recently op ened by Mr. . F. llackler( who came here from Roanoke. The fire companies responded promptly and extinguished the flames. There was considerable damage to the stock by the smoke and water and the walls of the build ing w ere blackened and charred in places. There is considerable evi dence that it was a case of spite work or down right meanness by some one and the officers are now working on a clue with the hopes of running down the guilty par ties. An entrance was made at the back door by breaking two glass near where the kev hung, securing the key and thereby having tree access to the store. From the hack door to the center of the room there were drops of gasolene on the floor, showing that the parties used gasolene with which to start the tire. Mr. Ilackler came here only a short time ago and was doing a good business, lie had a small amount (if insurance on stock and fixtures, fortunately, which he had applied for only a few davs before, lie will open up business again as mkiii as the loss is ad justed.
