Doth Phones 100 WELCOME SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS A Personal Word to Every Voter of High Point For two weeks I have endeav ored as best I could to lay before the citizens of High Point the actual facts regarding the propos ed HON I) ISSUE FOR THE PEOPLE and the lasting bene fits which each and every citizen of our city must undoubtedly re ceive if the bonds are voted next Tuesday. Every section of the city has been taken into consid eration and the facts placed be fore all the people who desired to know more about the city's affairs. 1 desire in this letter to reiter ate and emphasize a few state ments previously made by me, and while a large -majority of the voters are favorable to every is sue of our campaign, I hope and believe t lie vote can be made almost unanimous if the people generally will think carefully of their welfare and future prosper it v in connection with these im portant matters. With an absolute guarantee that the tax rate and the tax values will not be increased on account of the bond issue; with the further guarantee that your insurance rates will positively be still further reduced where fire protection is afforded, and with the still further assurance that the -money will be expended in pushing the improvements to greets, fire protection, etc our , my pf :mo me scciai spinous ui uin city which have watted so.'TOnj,'- and so patiently for these benefits, it ;reai does seem to nrc tnn no citizen should for one mom amount of taxes to be collected, which will rfieet every demand until the new taxes begin to come in next fall; and this of course does not include the sinking fund of $7,0001:0 iio in the bank drawing interest for the people, which is to be applied in wiping out our very first bond i.sue of more than 20 years ago. The city was never at any time in the past, in as safe and sound condition to issue bonds for im provements and meet its obliga tions as it is today, and any citi zen can learn these positive and gratifying facts by making for himself a careful examination o! tile citv's book" For 1 lie sake 01 your families, your homes, yuur schools, you! town, do yuur duty like men and forever silence the demagogues and little politicians, who fui per-onal spite and political pre, tige are attempting to mi-lead the voters by base slanders and con teniptible misrepresentations oi the affairs of our town. Regarding my own candidacv I hardly think it necessary to notice or deny the miserable slanders and falsehoods told and printed about me. The people know me, and my efforts in be half of the city and all its people is an open record, of which I am not ashamed. If re-elected vonr cut hesitate to do his duty in thi most important matter.

Fverv denomination recog nizes its effectiveness and worth, and in everv country and upon everv island of the sea where tin church of t lod has been establish ed the Sundav school is 'omul A large degree of the smcess o. the Sundav school is due to tin l.ict that it is interdenominational and international. The platform which it has built is utie upon which all denominations ran stand upon an equal fooling and engage in a work with one united purpose In view the moral and spiritual uplift of humanit v. Ten years have passed since the State Sundav School Conven Hon was held in High Point, and during these years there has been constant enlargement and devel opiuent of the organization. Man y new methods of work have been introduced and found effec tive and many of those already in use have been so developed as to become more effective. It is probable that representa tives of country churches throughout the stale attend the Sunday School Convention in larger numbers than they attend any other gathering. ( )nc of t In most convincing evidences of tin successful work of the Sunday school is found in its large ac complishment in the country church, and some of the most ac- itv and experience. Different churches of the city have been designated as the places of meet ing of the conferences.
