It wilj pay you to see them at H. . A, Moffitt. Hon. Bird Oi Ooloiv Gpoakot Thomasvillo Thomasville had "Everybody's Day" today and it was a success. Hon. Bird S. Coler was the ora tor of the day. Mr. Coler said: There is something American and democratic in the title of this dav. In a nation that has no room for class distinctions on the one hand and class warfares on the other, it is fitting that we should have a day that is the holi day for everybody, the rich and the $oor, the employer and the employe, the man witih his muscle and brain for capital and the man with stored dollars for capital. It is a fine thing to have a day for all these and that the same day. It is a sign that we are not swerv ing to the right or the left from the democrtic path blazed by the fathers of the philosophy and our politics, we are still stnFdily and unchangeably American ; that de spite the philosophy that would make us "Internaitonal" we are more national than ever we were before because we ae more than ever a nation. It is a kindly, com prehensive political faith, this American faith of democracy it takes in everybody and it warms the heart of everybody it takes in. They tell us we have tremend ous problems to solve. They tell usthat we live in a changing age, that we are passing from an old political and economic era to a new. They tell us that the old ideals are dead, and that new ma terialities must take their olace. ; They tell us that to eat and drink $ and travel in luxury are all of life. iney go tnrougn. tne streets shouting that the old truths are no longer true, the old principles are no longer living, the old pa triotism is a doddering, senile humbug, the old faith is dead. This tihey say in,Ceitain college halls, and on certain soapboxes through, the country t is.parroted with variations fashioned to fit the political exigencies of the time and olace. But we who live with our feet on the ground and our heads 111 God's blue heaven, we who are still proud ot our American tra ditions and our American citizen ship, we who have common ev eryday problems to solve that are 1 the problems ot , everyDociy thank God we have not lost the faith. Thank God for us the old truths are always true, for us the old principles are forever tresn and vital, for us patriotism is still a holy and a glorious thing, for us the old faith lives eternally. We meet here, on "Everybody's Day," in everybody's land of freedom, to reioice that everybody s gov rnment shall not perish from the earth. We meet here with leap inc hearts to acclaim the unfad intr beauty and eterjjal glory of everybody's red white and blue banner, still a fluttering pledge of a bold purpose, still star-span- eled. still supreme. j We hear much in these days ot the evils that beset our country, and there is niuch truth in what we hear. But before we under take to uproot the evils, let us sanely and calmly locate them, lest in our eagerness to uproot good things and leave the evils unmolested. We are told by some that the evil is in our form of gov ernment. What is evil in our form of Government? It is a Re publican form of government Every act of government is the act-of human beings, and we se lect the human beings who do these things. We have a com plete control of our covernment It is a reflection, not upon the form of government but upon our ciuzensmu, 11 tne government is -Ia! 1-T if I . controlled by privilege.

High Point is infested with a class of worthless strange ne groes, both men and women,' who hang around the shanties along Railroad avenue, and around the depot. They arc vagrants on the town they don't live bene in the first place, and they should be put on the county roads or made to go to work. You can sec them every day and night in the year, getting on and off the train with suit cases of liquor. We believe they arc peddling this liquor here. We see 110 excuse for a commun ity like High Point, encouraging this filthy condition. That class of the dressed up , and drunk strange negro, is a menace to his own race. The native born he gto iii this community is as a rule modestly well to do and law abid ing.
