WOUNDED MEN IMPROV ING. Mr. Busbee.and Mr. Morton, who were injured by the explosion of the infernal 'machine are im proving and will be out again soon. Air. misoee is sun at m Leo's hospital SERIOUSLY BURNED From the Spencer Crescent of yesterday we learn of a bad ex plosion of gas' in the hourt house in Salisbury shortly before noon. A gas jet wasjleft burning in the vault of Sheriff Mckenzie's office the night before. J hiring the night the gas was ejit off from the mains, later tujrned on. while the jet of course wps still open and so the vault became filled with gas. When Mr. E. jl. Miller, the Reg ister of Deels, entered next morning he struck a match and a terrific explosion occurred. Mr. Miller was blown across the room, and all the exposed parts of his body badly burned. He was picked up in a half conscious con dition and medical aid at once giv en him. Deputy Tolbert was also injured, but not so seriously. Their many friends hope their in juries wi'l not prove serious. o THE HIGH POINT-WINSTON ROAD. The situation seems to be that I the efforts of the Committee are unavailing to secure the amount of funds from the Retail Mer chants that is necessary to make their larger subscriptions avail able. The facts are, the total amount subscribed by the 44 Re tail Merchants to date is less than $400.00. Of this amount; half has been subscribed by three mem bers, leaving 41 members sub scribing Sjoo or less than $5.00 each. Considering the tact that the Retail Merchants w iT7 derive direct benefit from the building of the road, it would seem they should come forward at once and subscribe the Moo necessarv to insure the building of the road, and they will thereby secure a large addition to their customers. Several hundred dollars are available when they have raised a total of $500.00, but is not avail able until they do that. U is to be hoped the association will take the matter up at once and see that the balance of the $500 is raised, balance of the $500.00 is raised. We have a reputation at stake in this matter, and it is the duty of each one of us to do our full duty toward High Point. E. E. Creelman. THE PROPER SPIRIT J. Matt Hedgecock says that if the Eord Company will build their plant here he will give them a two acre site and agree to buy the first 1913 model out. Work is busily going on on J. F. Hayden's bouse on Washing ton street. Mr. Weston, of .Greensboro, is the architect. The house is of pressed brick of strict ly colonial design, with large white pillars in front upholding the roof of the piazza. On the west side of the porte cochere, and over the back porch there will be a large screened sleeping room.

I hU i.s an interesting picture of Mi iilana and will gain the ap proval of every one that sees it, ue have gone to a big expense to secure these pictures and in or der to come clear on them we are 11 impelled to raise the price to the small sum of ten cents, we have on two pictures today that have cor-t us $20 outside of our regular serv iicc and as we want -everyone' i:i High Point to see them. Why" wejiave only raised the price just 5 cents, this will just clear our cx- ences for the day we are trying to arrange to secure all the spc 0.1' releases of the General Film . o. and put them belore the High Point public at a price that will enable all to see them, the pic tures we have on today are spe cials by the General Film Co. and are costing us 10 dollars per reel to secure them and we want to state right here that no matter what feature we have on in our theater the price will never be over 10 ecus, just enough to de fray the extra expense of secur ing them. We would very willing. Iv put the price at S cents but. we would lose -money on them, from this on we have closed a contract with the General Film Co. to furnish us with a special picture every Saturday if possible and we run them on this dale in order to let everyone see them. The second picture for today is a feature release by the Melies , Co. entitled "The Cowboy Kid." This is a photoplay which will appeal to every lover of western, life showing the exploits of eight year old "Danny" the voungest cowboy in the world.
