Washington, D. C, Nov. 26.
Congress will reconvene a week
from yesterday. This session will
mark the last session of Republi
can control for four years.
While the vexing question of
the tariff is not scheduled for
consiedration this winter, the
three months of the short session
will be crowded with legislative
work.
The Archbald Trial.
During the early part of the
session the House will be busy
shaping appropriation bills while
the Senate is disposing of the im
peachment trial of Judge Robert
W. Archbald of the Commerce
Court, set to begin December 3.
The Six Year Term.
Several important easures will
be pushed for early .action in the
Senate, among them the resolu
tion of Senator Works of Califor
nia to limit the President o a sin
gle six-year term ; the Sheppard
Kenyon bill prohibiting the ship
ment of liquor into prohibition
States and the vocational educa
tion bill of Senator Page of Ver
mont. The bill of Senator Borah
creating a department of labor is
also scheduled for early consider
ation. Prohibition.
The Department of Labor bill
has passed the House, but that
body would still have to act upon
the Vocational Education bill and
the six-year Presidential measure
if they passed the Senate. The
Clothing Firm Takes Forward
Step-How Equipment. Fine Stock
Since the death of Mr. P. B.
Fetzer, Mr. E. W. Freeze, for a
number of years the progressive
head of the Cannon-Fetzer Co.,
has purchased the large branch
store in High Point. Doing so
has enabled Mr. Freeze, who is
one of the leading clothing men
in the state, to put his individual j
ideas into practice, increasing his .
stock to one of the largest and :
most fashionable assortments
which can be found anywhere in
the state. He has recently equip
ped the clothing and hat depart
ments of the store with the most
up-to-date methods for displaying
his fine stock and has installed at
a heavy cost, the system which is
patented as "The New Way
Clothing and Hat Display Cab
inet." This convenient method
facilitates the work of the sales
man, and the customer has dis
played before him, several hun
dred suits of fine clothes, and
overcoats from which to make his
selection, which can be done in a
few moments.
A WORD FROM SUPT.
HAYNES.
1 have wanted for some time to
thank the parents of High Point
for their hearty support of the
schools. There are few towns
where a healthier co-operative
spirit exists than High Point, and
certainly few towns where all the
citizens seem to understand it is
their own individual and personal
school, and 'as such, instead of
"knocking" it, they feel like
knocking the traitor who does
JcnofV it, or,' in other words, to
fire on the fellow who fires on the
flag. Schools are like all other
things on earth none of them
are perfect. And usually it is the
most imperfect man who is spy
ing for imperfections.
In the name of our faithful
teachers and the members of our
excellent board, every one of
whose hearts are full of solicitude
for High Point's children andsfu
ture greatness, let me thank ev
ery High Pointer for ' standing
prohibition liquor measure will be
pushed in the House by Represen
tative Sheppard of Texas, who
will succeed Senator Bailey in the
next Congress.
Anti-Sherman Law.
Energetic'efforts will be made
in both houses to pass legislation
amending the Sherman Anti
Trust law an dlimiting contribu
tions to political campaign funds.
Senator Kenyon's bill amend
ing the Sherman law, which has
been before the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee, undoubt
edly will be brought up for early
action in the Senate.
Meantime the committee, head
ed by Senator Clapp, probably
will formulate a measure limiting
campaign contributions, based its
extensive investigations. Several
bills on this subject are pending
in House and Senate.
Members of Conexess now in
Washington do not expect any ac
tion on currency legislation dur
ing the short session: The House
I Committee on Banking and Cur
, rency will proceed with its inves-
tigaion of the currency and credit
( situation wtih considerable diffi
culty, and it may be unable to
I finish its investigation early
! enough to submit anv remedial
1 measures before March 4.
! It is practically certain that no
action will be taken on the Aid
rich currency plan bills submitted
to the National Monetary Com
mission.
For his fall and winter stock
Mr. Freeze who visited New
York, Baltimore and Philadel
phia markets with a view to a
larger and finer stock, has select
ed that class of goods, which in
quality and style is the very best
that the market affords. This
fact will be appreciated by the
well dressed men of High Point
who are always looking for the
best. In this additional equip
ment and with an increased and
much larger assortment of fine
clothing Mr. Freeze is going af
ter the fine trade in this entire
Piedmont section having already
established a branch at Thomas
ville. If you want anything in
the line of fine gents furnishings
you can find it at this modern
emporium. Mr. Freeze being now
practically the owner of this
growing business will endeavor
to give to High Point as fine a
clothing store as is found any
where between Washington and
Atlanta. This is truly the High
Point spirit.
loyally to the schools with a spir
it and interest that seems to indi
cate we are all in one big army

The injustice to High Point in
the-matter of freight rate discrim
ination is flagrant indeed. I-ast
April the united strength of the
furniture manufacturers through
out the state joined hands with
our manufacturers here and
fought the rate question out be
fore a special examiner who was
sent here by the Interstate Com
merce Commission to hear the
evidence. That particular case
went on the motion docket and
the final argument was heard by
brief before the Commission in
October.

DEATH MRS. BROWN
Mrs. Capt. Brown died Friday
afternoon, November 22, at her
home on Liberty street. Her
health has been failing for more
than a year. Two or three months
ago she was taken to the hospital
in Salisbury. The physicians
there were unable to relieve her
so she came home about a month
ago. During her sickness, espe
cially the latter part of it. she
suffered so many weeks with re
markable resignation and pati
ence, all who visited her were im
pressed with her faith and beauti
ful christian spirit. Her pastor re
marked at her funeral no one
could have died as she did who
had not lived well. All who knew
this good woman speak of her
many excellences of character,
especially those who fiave known
her as a neighbor.
The tender sympathy of many
friends has been expressed for her
husband, her one daughter and
four sons. A large company at
tended the funeral Saturday af
ternoon which was conducted at
the home by W. C. Tyree, assist
ed by Rev. Caldwell.

Elko memorial Service Sunday
YOU HAVE CHOICE OF 10,839
JOBS.
When Mr. Wilson enters the
White House he will find that he
has the :power ' to fill directly
10,839 government positions. Pa
trios who intend to "offer" their
services to the Democratic ad
ministrate nfor a proper annual
emolument only recently have
heard of Slcnate document No.
830. The result lias been that so
many requests for copies have
come to the Capitol document
room- that the supply is almost
exhausted. Document Xo. 836 is
devoted to lists of the number of
appointments at the disposal of
Presidents of the United States.
he document was prepared by
President Taft February 24, 191 1,
in rscponse to a Senate reso'ution
which asked several questions
about the amount of patronage in
the hands of the Chief Kxecutivc.
It shows that, exclusive of enlist
ed men and officers of the army 1
and navy, there arc 411.322 offi
cers and employes of the United
States government. Of those
262,608 are under civil service reg
illations, and therefore canno be
removed by the new President
except for cause. Of these re
mainder. 1 37.805 arc in the classi
fied service, taking them off the
pie counter, and only 10.839
places are filled directly by the
Chief Executive. The confirma
tion of the Senate is required for
9,846 of these presidential ap
pointments, but 993 can be made
by the President without confir
mation.
The appointive places requiring
confirmation are divided as fol
lows : Depart State, 441 ; Treas
ury, 736; War (excluding army),
6; Justice, 383; Pustoffice, 7,9531
Navy (excluding officers), 11 ;
Interior, 272; Agriculture, 36;
Commerce and Labor (excluding
census), 28; Civil Service Com
mission, 4; Government Printing
Office, 1; Interstate Commerce
Commission, 7; Library of Con
gress, 1.
The places not requiring con
firmation are divided .thus: State,
94; Justice, 846; Interior, 44;
Commerce, 8: Civil Service Com
mission, 1.
Managcr Lewis Woodson is re
ceiving praise from all quarters
for the splendid service and the
excellent manner in which he
handled the large crowds here
during the conference. Sunday
was a record breaker in attend
ance and the big hotel was filled
to overflowing, the service was
not only prompt and amply ade
quate, but excellent. Give us an
other convention soon.
Mrs. Gaskill, of Salisbury, who
has been visiting Mrs. Robert
Morrow and Mrs. W. C. Jones, re
turned today.

HOLIDAY EDITION.
The Enterprise will get. out a
holiday edition. Wait for it. It
will contain a list of all the holi
day goods from which you may
choose.
It is a very beautiful custom
of the order of Elks, observed by
every lodge in the Untied States,
on the same day and at the same
hour, when they gather in public
memorial services, in memory of
the dead. It is perhaps the fea
ture of Elkdom- which appeals
more strongly to the outsider,
than any other work of the order.
The local lodge is very fortunate,
in having lost but one member,
since its organization. Their ser
vices will be held next Sunday
afternoon, December 1st, 1912, in
the Auditorium of South Main
street graded school, at three
o'clock, to which the public is cor
dially invited.
The program has been an
nounced, and perhaps its most
striking feature Will be the an
nual address, which will be deliv-

ercd by the Governor-elect of
North Carolina, Locke Craig. It
is interesting to note the alert
ness of the lodge in securing so
distinguished a speaker, who de
clined a number of invitations
fiom other lodges, owing to the
earlier invitation from- High
Point. The musical portion of the
program, under the direction of
Miss Clara Boyd is most attrac
tive, voices so pleasantly remem
bered in High Point as Miss Lam
bert, Miss Clemments and Miss
Scrverson, being on the list. The
cover design of the program is of
exquisite beauty, being in colors
and carrying at the top, the hcid
of an Elk, while at the bottom
will be the clock with the hands
at the mystic hour of eleven. On
the back of the folder will appear
the name of the only deceased
member of the. lodge, Allen C.
