STORIESOFSUCCESS John Wanamaker N o oareer 1 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 estal of the world and its (roods, and no one has ever gained a higher record for 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 of 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 rise and be suc cessful. . . ,. The practice of saving is indica tive of thrift, intelligence and stabi lity. The man who saves his money is a credit to the community, himself, and his family. . It is not what you earn but what you Have that counts. If you have but a single dollar ahead, bring it here; we will open savings account for you, and vou will receive every courtesy and consideration. WACHOVIA BANK 4 TBUiT CO.

TYnEE THE MEETING. PERSONAL Not withstanding the rain there was a good attendance at the af ternoon meeting at First Baptist church yesterday and the spirit of the meeting was very encour aging. One feature of this meet ing especially gratifying was the presence of the upper third grade ' from the Ilm street school, ac-1 companied by their teacher. At j her suggestion the children' were glad to come in a body. It is hoped that other teacherc v ill follow this excellent example. At night the congregation was some what reduced on account of the weather, but the attendance was larger than might have been ex pected. So far the weather has been very unfavorable since these meetings began. But the attend ance and the interested manifest ed encourages the hope that there will be great blessings and rich results. "Prayer the Greatest of All Privileges," will be the subject of the meeting this afternoon. To night "The Greatest and Most Important of all Facts," will be the theme of the sermon. We do not believe High Point has ever heard any stronger sermons than those being presented by Dr. Tyre. The prayer meeting at Wash intMon Street M . 1. l luircli is called off for tonight, and tli members are invited to attend the revival service at the hirst Baj tist or South Main St. Methodist church.
