War Dopartmont Sorvoo ftotlco On MoxlcoTpoopo Ordorod In Roadinooo Special to Enterprise. Washington, D. C, Feb. 3. The war department issued or ders today warning Mexico that another maneuover camp might be established along the boun dry line. This decision to pre pare for an armed demonstration followed the disquieting messages from Gov. Colquit of Texas to Ambassador Wilson, at Mexico City. The administration hopes that the mere threat of such step will be sufficient. Two regiments in San Antonio provided with marching rations and equipments and three thousand men nearest the border were ordered to pre pare for the quickest trip possi ble to Elpaso. The three hundred men now at Elpaso comprises too small a force to cope with the sit uation, is the opinion of the de partment, particularly should the rebels defeat the federal troops in today's expected battle.

Edwin Brush, magician, has come near disproving Lincoln's famous saying by fooling all of the people all of the time for the last half dozen years, and the peo ple seem to enjoy being fooled, in this way at least. A good magician is popular always and Mr. Brush is plainly in that class. Those who enjoy a wholesome, forget-your-trootbles cntertain-i incut should make it a point to see and hear Mr. Brush. lie be lieves heartily in the mission of mirth and holds that a laugh is no less sacred than a tear, Mr. Brush comes with but one assistant, but ,he brings with him a large quantity of baggage and stage settings that will please the eye and add to the attractiveness of the entertainment. MOFFIT FURNISHING CO, TO MAKE CHANGES.

Tomlinson, secretary and treasurer of the club either indiv idually or in a general meeting, The various committees will be announced first of next week. A Great Year For Business The question is frequently ask ed about the prospect for busi ness during 191 2, -'lid to our waj of observing, wc .ituiot sec any thing but the brightest porspeet for practicalljall lines. Any dull season that might come after a sharp decline of a great product. soon passes away as the people conic to an agreement with them selves that conditions are settled. There is an upward tendency in all lines of business in the South and nothing short of a general panic can lower it. The people are ambitious, hopeful and arc becoming more industrious which State brings about producers and consumers on a "satisfactory basis. All that a man has to do in the South today) is to know how to do l)usinc' H-ind have the willingness to push it. There never has been the op portunity in the South as there is today. But you wont see it if you listen to pessimists. THE NEW COLLEGE BUILD ING AT GUILFORD. Messrs. J. Elwood Cox, X. C. English and A. M.

We understand that the Music Lovers of the city are planning early whereby it 'will become pos sible to pull off quite a musical festival for High Point this spring. The announcement is of great value and significance to our city, Let us have the festival. 8 IN THE SOGIAL REALM (By Mrs. William C. Jones Hostess. Tuesday afternoon Mrs. W. C. Jones was hostess at the regular bi-monthly meeting of the W. O. T. Club. The crisp new books were exchanged with eagerness and the game of dominos played with unusual zest. The scores ran verv high, but Miss Blanch I'.radshaw came out ahead, and was presented with a double jar dinir of embossed bisque clay fill ed with budding bulbs. In serv ing the delicious fruit salad course, the gracious hostess was assisted by Mrs. W. C. Heavens. Those present were: Mesdamcs Alvin Parker, Cyrus Wheeler, W. C. Idol. A. S. Caldwell, Jr.. T. J. Gold, J. A. Lindsay, J. II. Tate. Misses Mary Alexander, Blanche Bradshaw, I. Irvin Paylor. Music Department. The Music Depratment of the Woman's Club won for them selves many new laurels Wednes day afternoon, when they enter tained the entire general club. The meeting was resided over by Miss Blanche Shattuck. the chairman, who was also pianist for the afternoon. The first number was a vocal number, "'I Would That My Love," by the department's quartet, Mesdamcs Kcphart and Shipman, and Miss es Boyd and Idol, and the second a solo by Mrs. Kephart. : The main feature of the pro gram was a lecture, or to term it more properly, a personal glimpse of fatnouJmisical artists- of the proent day, by Prof. A. S. Hill, director of music in the State Xormal College of Greensboro. Prof. Hill is a man nf strong and attractive personality and unlike many traveled and lectur ed men, he is wholly unaffected, and he held the interested atten tion of his hearers for over an hour as in a well modulated con versational voice he told them of the personal history of the great musicians of the present day. Beginning with four famous conductors whom he has known, he gave an intimate personal view of the appearance and character istics of Uandcgger, under whom he was a pupil for four years in London; Hans Richter, the great conductor of Wagnerian Opera, Anton Seidl and Emil Pauer, the last two of whom are familiar fig ures to the people on this side of the Atlantic. Then he spoke of several com posers who were his personal friends. Notable among these were Tostc, who wrote the fam iliar song. "Bid Me Good-Bye and Go." and Ilumperdinck, the composer of Konigs Kinder, which was produced in New York recently with Geraldinc Farrar in the title role of the Goose Girl. Mr. Hill has travelled extensively and has had actual experience as an opera singer, so that his reminiscences were en tirely of a personal nature. He told many amusing and interest ing stories of his connection with famous artists. His first appear ance was made with Mme. Ade line Patti, who called him "the big burly American," because In his nervousness and stage fright he stepped on the prima donna's train. Nordica, the de Reskes and Mary Garden are all personal acquaintances, and' as Prof. Hill told of them his hearers felt that they were in reality taken behind the footlights, where they met the great artists face to face. Mr. Hill closed his lecture with an appeal to Southern women. He said that the hope of Amer ica in a musical way lies in the South and as the North is so cos mopolitan and so little represen tative of the typical American. I. I. P.) the South should step to the front as representing the typical American in music. It is not of ten a man of Prof. Hills wide ex perience and culture comes to High Point and those who heard him were indeed fortunate, and are most grateful to the music department for making it possi ble for this elevating pleasure to be theirs. The department de serves the praise of each club woman for making their first ap pearance in public one of undis puted success. Possibly no other department would be entitled to quite so much glory, even should the success be quite the same, for mere reason that this depart ment was organized in the vaca tion time, after many of the oth er departments year's work was planned. Then another thing the chairman and many of the prom inent workers have other duties that must come first. During the social hour that followed light refreshments were served. (Concluded Monday.)
