STORIES OFSUCCESS
John Wanamaker
N o career I n
this country offers
more encourage
ment to the young
business man than
that of John
Wanamaker, the
merchant of the
Golden Rule. N o
man ever made a
more secure ped

oni it oriwvls. and
no one has ever gained a higher
record fur honesty and fairness in
his business deals.
His whole life, from the time he
walked four miles each morning to
work in a book store at $1.26 a week
until the age n twenty four, when
his savings enabled him to open the
Oak Hall clothing store, is a story
of earnest, hard work and rigid
economy.
It's a story that points a moral.
It is applicable to every young
man who wants to riBe and be suc
cessful. . .
The practice of saving is indica
tive of thrift, intelligence and stability-
The man who bbvcs his money is a
credit to the communiiy, himself,
and his family.
It is not what you earn but what

HIGH POINT, NORTH CAROLINA. TUESDAY. OCTOBER to, 191 1
r.1R. rJEULAND WILL BE in RACE
FOR GOVERNOR
LOCKE CRAIG MAKES 1118 ANNOUNCEMENT
Lieut-Governor V. C. New
land, of Lenoir, is spending the
day in the city interviewing
friends regarding his candidacy
for governor. When seen by a
Sentinel representative this
morning Mr. N'ewland admitted
that he expected to be in the race
for the highest office in the gift
of the people of North Carolina
and that in due time he would
make his formal announcement.
Mr. Newland was an enthusi
astic advocate of Mr. Locke
Craig's nomination for chief ex
ecutive three years ago in Char
lotte, during the long and warm
ly contested tight when Mr. W.
V. Kitchin finally won out. It
was said that after the conven
tion Mr. Craig told some of his
friends that he would never be
efore the people of North Car
olina for another office, but it has
developed that some of those who
fought valiantly for his nomina
tion, three years ago, have in
sisted that he make the race
again and on Saturday the Hun
combe county man authorized
the announcement that he had
decided to enter the race next
year for the Democratic nomina
tion. Messrs. Newland and Craig
are popular, especially through
out the western part of the state,
and their friends will make the
contest a pretty warm one at
least that is the prediction that
is eing made by the politicians.
The Sentinel hears a rumor
that the friends of ex-Lieut. Gov.
K. A. Doughton are urging him
- and for the Democratic num.
in.ition fo rgovernor.
"Mir. Doughton has a tiost of
friends throughout the-state and
if he should decide to make the
race somebody would have to
hurtle to beat him." This is the
way one of his friends expressed
it todav.
bring out a special Kitchin can
didate for governor. However,
Governor Kitchin insists thar
the possibility for this is
very remote. It really looks like
there will be only the two can
didates for governor this time
Mr. Craig and Mr. Newland.
Asheville, Oct. 9. Mr. Locke
Craig, Democratic candidate for
the gubernatorial nomination in
1908, Saturday night announced
his candidacy for the same race
next year. Mr. Craig opposed
the present governor, V. Y.
Kitchin, in the Democratic state
convention over three years ago
when Governor Kitchin won the
nomination after the convention
had been dead-locked for tour
days.

o
Raleigh, Oct. 9 While there
has been a general understand
ing all along that Hon. Locke
Craig, of Asheville, would be in
the race for the Democratic nom
ination for governor in 1912 there
was special interest here in his
formal announccmene made Sat
urday night in Asheville that he
xv )uld seek the nomination.
I he triangular contest at Char
lotte in 1908 between Mr. Craig,
. W. Kitchin and Ashley
Horiie, which continued for a
s did week and developed the
most tense conditions ever known
in a North Carolina nominating
con veil. on resulted in the nom
ination of Mr. Kitchin and a tacit
understanding among many
Democrats that the 1912 nomina
tion should go to Mr. Craig ac
cording to many friends of Mr.
Craig. However there is another
and veiy active formidable can
didate 111 the field in the person
of V. C. Newland, present lieu
tenant governor and president of
the state senate. Mr. Newalnd
has been an avowed candidate
for some time past, and it is be
lieved these two westerners un
less there are complications as to
the relations of either of them to
the pending contest for the Unit
ed States senatorship in which
Senator Simmons, Governor
Kitchin, ex-Governor Aycock
and Chief Justice Walter Clark
aie the contestants.
It has been threatened that if,
for instance, Mr. Craig should
become an avowed partisan- for
Senator Simmons as against Gov
ernor Kitchin, there might be
likely to develop a movement for
the supporters of Mr. Kitchin to

Nowhere in the South has the

Case In Ejectment
AN INTERESTING CASE.
An action is being tried this af
ternoon before Justice J. Matt
Sechrest in the nature of an en
jectment proceeding in which J
A. Johnson is seeking to dis
possess Andrew Proctor and wile
Laura Proctor of a piece of prop
erty near the hospital. The rel
atives of Mrs. Proctor are very
much agitated over the matter,
since they contend that she is not
in her right mind and the prop
erty, which was recently convey
ed to Johnson by her, xvas left
to her by her father as a home on
hecottnt of mental incapacity.
She has been in the asylum at
one time, so it is claimed, and
has been mentally incapacitated
for ten years or more. Many
witnesses have been subpoenaed,
and the attorneys for the defense,
Messrs. Gold and ZollicofTcr. are
raising the point that the title to
real estate is in controversy and
the magistrate does not have jur
isdiction. For the plaintiff Ra
gan and Galloway are contending
that the woman is sound mentally.
STEWARDS MEETING.
