AID THE MAIL. CARRIERS
.: Postmaster ; Ragan advises us
that a general order Has been is
sued in the department of postal
service encouraging the use of
private mail boxes , or other re
ceptacle's at residences for mail;
1 "By direction of the Postoffice
Department, the attention of pa
trons of this7 office is invited to
the advantages of providing fa
cilities for . the ' receipt of their
mail by erecting conveniently ac
cessible boxes or cutting suitable
sl?t's in their doors. ; Such action
would enable the postmaster to
give! a prompter and better deliv
ery service with the means at his
disposal, since " the carriers can
cover much more territory in
less time if not' compelled to
wait for an answer to their ring.
Private receptacles for ma,il. are
also a great cojflenience tp the
householder, obviating the necessity-oil
fesponding!tdith6" car
Tier's, call at ; inconvenient: mo
ments and permitting the safe de
tivery of mail in the absence, of
member's of .the household. .They
also prevent the occasional ne
cessity of a carrier's proceeding
on his route without, delivering
mail because of failure to answer
his ring within a reasonable time,
and enable him to make deliv
eries to patrons living on or near
the end of the route at an earlier
hour. ' ; Y:
' "It has been shown by actual
experience that the benficts de
rived by' patrons of city delivery
from the use of such receptacles
far outweigh the small expense
involved.' As this office is inter
ested in furnishing the best pos
sible service. at the least expense,
your compliance with the fore
going suggestions willbe much
appreciated."- ? v;:
HIGH SCHOOL WINS AGAIN
High' point, 4 5 Jamestown, 9.:
V In a rather well-played game
of base ball atf Jamestown yester
day the local High School again
emerged victorious doubling the
score on the Jamestown players,
4 to a. This was accomplished
notwithstanding the. fact that
two would-be Greensboro league
players 'were" in 'the game for
Jamestown sand the ' locals were
playing oh - ? unaccustomed
grounds!' S No spectacular plays
were' made on ' either . side but
steady, consistent -ball was play
ed throughout the game. Farlow
for the locals allowed seven hits
but kept them so scattered as not
to be serious. Richardson for
Jamestown" was touched for on
more and these came opportune-
iy. . - "
, vThis is the fourth game play
ed this season and ' . the fourth
won," having an average of tooo.
A hard schedule is just ahea4 of
the team, but every player will
do , his best to maintain the un
broken line of victories.-

From the testimony before the
pecial examiner there on : the
fate question this i week as well
as from other evidence that has
developed during the aggitation
it can plainly be seen that North
Carolina ia up against a big pro
blem and one which if not solved
will retard the progress of this
section very seriously. It is very
plain that the furniture plants in
the state have' , been taxed 90
cents on .the hundred to points
on the Pacific coast more than
the plant in states north of us
and it is beginning to dawnon
the manufacturer that it has been
done for a purpose other than
making revenue for the railroads.
The revenue may have been
some consideration, but not all.
Furniture in North Carolina can
be made cheaper than at any
other point and at the same
time taking good care of labor.
So forcibly was this impressed
on the country at large at one
time, that large delegations vis
ited this section from Grand
Rapids and . other points north
to ascertain how . it was done.
Then came the labor organiza
tions as a disturbing element,
but our working" people did not
take well to their plans, prefer
ring to trust to the fairness and
judgment of home people with
whom they had grown up.
These delegations found that
owing to natural conditions the
laboring man was as well paid
here at the wages he was receiv
ing as he was in pther sections.
The situation which these man
ufacturers met in North Caro
lina looked grave to them.. They
could see no futur for them in
the same gradeof , da.
went back home looking very
serious. ' j. ' . " .' -. -
' Since the rate on this class of
'goods - has been "Increased 30
cents a ; hundred pounds they
don't seem to be very much trou
bled, and everything is running
to their notion, because under
the higher rate High Point and
North Carolina no longer does
the business in the west
In our opinion such a. result
was not brought about in the
regular way of classified rates, but
through the machinations of a
set of business men in one sec
tion against business men in an
other. .; The strangest phase 'of
the whole situation is that the
Southern Railway Co. will long
er submit to a suicidal policy.
There is no line of business that
furnishes to railroads more rev
enue than is furnished by furni
ture and other wood-working
plants And as a business propo
sition they should desire for
these industries to . continue to
prosper. ;. .i:-;yj-:--..-r
JOSEPH ANDREW BULLINS
- Joseph Andrew Bullins' was
born December 2, 1877, and died
April 5,1913, being a little more
than 34 years of age. ; He was
married on July ii, 1910 to Han
nah Whittington, of 'Hunting
ton;' W. Va. In March, iqio,
they moved to, High - Point,
where they resided until his
death. During his recent illness
he professed faith in Christ, and
often expressed a desire to de
part and be with Him. His chief
regret was, he had no one to
take with him and lay at . the
feet of his Lord,, as he had no op
portunity after his conversion to
help any one else into .the King
dom of Heaven. His wife, moth
er, a brother and four sisters sur
vive him. '

The bloody tragedy over at
Hillsville, Va., has made the
whole country think as well as
shudder and anything bearing on
the terrible affair is of interest.
.The Enterprise obtains the
following story from a gentle
man who received his informa
tion in a conversation with an
attorney who defended Floyd
Allen :
The whole trouble began with
the breaking out of the war and
was continued as a political feud
afterwards. Old man Allen it
seems was the only man in the
county who volunteered as a
Confederate soldier. All others
were Union sympathizers. He
served in the Confederate army
and when he came home he and
his family began to have trou
ble. Under the conditions the
county was hopelessly Republi
can and the Aliens were among
the few Democrats. The coun
ty has always been Republican
and is yet and the story goes
that very few Democrats could
speak peaceably in the county
without the aid and protection
of the Aliens with their guns. On
account of this high feeling and
being in a minority the Aliens it
is said had to fight their way
through. The story also goes
that on account of politics there
was a bitter feeling between the
prosecuting attorney, clerk and
sheriff who . were Republicans
and-who were killed and the Al
iens, the Aliens believing that
these men were using their of
fices for persecuting and hound
ing them. So bitter was the feel
ing that "theWllens s.vore that
thjs crowd ; shoulifnot sarrestan
Allen. In consequence of 'this
situation everybody on both
sides was loaded at the critica
moment. The shooting of Judge
Massie who was in line of thf
shooting it is further stated wa
not intended by the" Aliens, the,
only intended to kill the-Republican
officers who had been ac
tive in their prosecution. Judge
Massie had befriended the Al
iens on former occasions. This i
the story that comes from one
who should know some of the
conditions that surround the
noted case. It is a horrible af
fair from any standpoint and
there must have been loner and
bitter feeling to bring about such
a bloody result. Floyd Allen,
who was wounded in the leg, ac
cidentally shot himself in trying
to get his pistol out from under
bis sweater.
SPARKS CIRCUS COMES
HERE TOMORROW
, Ch-cus day is fast approaching
and the small boy is on his best J
behavior. If it werenot for the,
fact that his mother is wise to
his methods his angelic good
ness would give her. some alarm.
She knows that he is working to
see "that circus."- For that mat
ter mother wants to see' it also.
Father is non-committal but it is
the one best bet that he will be
there if it for no other reason
than to. take the' boy. You see
he has not forgotten when he
was a little shaver, himself.
" Spark's World's 'Famous
Shows will be here Friday, April
13 and will then unfold its my
raids of wonders gathered from
all portions of the universe." .The
principal query it presents is,
"Are you going to the "circus ?''
The answers give rise to the; be
lief "that show day will see the
greatest outpouring of people
from all parts of the county this
city has ever seen. There is, ev
ery reason , to expect this. The
promises held forth are simply
wonderful and they come from
W instiution which in over a
quarter of a century has never
broken faith with the public or
advertised things it did not have.
