The last day of double votes

Some of the babies are going t(
have wonders worked in their be
half as a result of this double vote

have ambitious and energetic par
ents and friends, the parents and
11 ends who understand and ap
preciate the full meaning of the
t tie "the most popular baby in
High Point and surrounding
country," and believe it to be
worth driving for, to say nothing
of the gold that will be theirs if
successful. The stay-at-homes,
the lazyites, the laggards and the
quitters arc not going to realize
anything from this wonderful
offer, except that they will be
crowded further into the back
ground, their babies will go furth
er towards the bottom of the list
and their chances of winning this
ureal race will he lurtlicr l:nim-

You can do it if you would

A New Railroad
Randolph and Cumberland Railroad
Winston Joins Hands With High Point In Building The
Road.
WINSTON ENTHUSIASTIC
Over Proposed Extension of
Randolph & Cumberland Rail
road Into Their City.
Mr. A. 'Tate, who has for
the last four vears worked so in
cessantly, both in season and out
of soasn, tci give High Point a
Seaboard connection. visited
W insti in-Salein on Thursdav of
this week by special invitation
ii'om prominent citiens of that
hustling city to discuss the fea-i-ibibtv
of extending the Ran
dolph cl Cumberland Railroad to
that place and thus give us a
Noifolk Western ami a South
bound connection, also
That Mr. Tate's proposition
a as enthusiastically received is
shown by (lie foil,, wing clipping
taken from the 'Twin City Dailv
if that date :
"About twenty-five prominent
business men of W'iiistoii-Saleni
net in the Board of Trade rooms
his afternoon, together with Mr.
A. F. Tate, of High Point, for
the purpose of discussing the
proposed extension of the Ran
dolph - Cumberland Railroad
from Cameron, X. C. via High
Point to W inston-Salem, making
a number of splendid connections
in this city and connecting at
l anieron with the mam line of
the Seaboard Air Line.
Mr. Tate desired to get opin
ions of prominent business men
here as to whether or not this
communitv will vote Sloo.oiX) to
aid in financing the road and all
present expressed the opinion
that this can be done. 'The ulti
mate terminus of the road will
be Southport, which is destined
to become a great seaport town.
Quite a number of the gentle
men present spoke, favoring the
proposed road."
In our opinion there has never
been a railroad proposition prc
sented to the people of High
Point with so much genuine mer
it as this one has on account ol
the far-reaching etTect that the
building of the road would have
on the industrial life of our city.
W e think it is generally admitted
that until we have mo-" and bet
ter railroad facilities for the
prompt and satisfactory hand
ling of our products, that our
manufacturing and mercantile
interests can never reach that
degree of development which
con Id be attained with competi
tive railroad facilities.
In the meeting at Winston
Hon. Cy Watson, who took a
prominent part, said: "It has
bc-n the dream of my life to see
this connection and we should
build it."
IT WILL GO TO ONE MILLION DOLLARS
