Elwood Cox Directors., .. 0 ANNUAL MEETING, The annual meeting of the Stockholders of the Commercial National Bank of High Point, N. C. will be held in the directors room of the bank Tuesday, Jan uary 14th, 1913, at ten o'clock a. n. for the election of the board of directors and for the transac tion of such other business as may come before the meeting. . V, A. J. Idol, Cashier. Another Homo Builder At the annual meeting held re cently of the High Point Per petual Building & Loan Associa tion, it was instructed that a new series begin January 1, 1913. This will be the 10th series. This association began in 1901. Since its organization it has the excel lent reputation of not having lost a dollar for its share holders and at present six of the ten se ries are now in force with a total of 3600 shares and loans to the amount of $165,000, which rep resents homes built in the city of High Point, over $50,000 of this amount has been put in homes ritrht here in our midst in the -o year 1912. -o A NEW BUILDING CODE In a new and growing com munity where mammoth manu facturing plants and extensive stores and other buildings are being constructed, it is in line that we have a new Building Code to govern this work city rules comnrehensive in their charcater, in line with what mun icpialities which have any future prospective growth should have Rules, governing the use of re inforced concrete work laws governing elevators with refer ence to their hazard in times of firei also that they should have automaic safty trap doors while the sprinkler system for large buildings is becoming mandatory Another feature growing out of modern building codes, is a de mand on part of citizens pro viding for a larger bond from contractors who are doing city work. This demand has grown out of recent court decisions in which old precedents were set aside, and cities held liable for personal injuries. By increasing the bond a city thus protects it self. There are many and like ad vantages as to the requirements for permits, touching structural material, foundation walls, chim neys, flues, heating methods, stairways, combustible roofings, etc., incident to buildings that are to be erected in a growing town. FIELD TRIAL DELAYED The field trials which were to start today, have been delayed on account of weather conditions, but will begin not later than Saturday morning. Sportsmen Present.

To Give Shippers Right of Appeaj The following interesting arti cle touching the shippers of High Ponit appears in this week's Tariff Bulletin: Shippers Want Court Rights A number of Washington at torneys engaged in the practice before the Interstate Commerce Commission and representing shippers held a meeting on No vember 22 and issued a call ad dressed to other shippers' attor neys throughout the country to attend a conference to be held at Washington December 2. The purpose of the conference is to devise ways and means to se cure legislation by which ship pers who have been denied rights by the Interstate Commerce Commission may have their cases reviewed by the Commerce Court. During the last session of Congress several bills were introduced for the purpose, some of which received favorable re ports from the appropriate com mittees. Great interest is manifest in the purpose, and it is said that strenuous efforts will be put for ward to induce Congress, at its forthcoming session, to enact such legislation as will ve to shippers the same right of re view as is now accorded to car riers. In the last session of Con gress the prpoosition had the ap proval of the attorney-general, and some, if not all, of the mem bers of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The call for the meeting is signed by Charles Conradis, John I). Daish, A. B. Hayes and Francis B. James of Washington and William E. Lamb and L. M. Walter of Chicago. ' " - a '.

PRINTING That .Wins Customers Just as a correctly dressed man gets an audience and makes the best impression, so correctly done printing gets an audience and convinces your prospective customers, herefore it will pay you to let us do your stationery, booklets, catalogue and other commercial printing. Near the close of its most pros perous year in great manufac turing increases in bank clear ings, in its building record High Point takes a look into the future with the brightest pros pects yet visible on the very verge of the new year, 1913, which will be a record breaker. While other towns are being treated to "thcoreis" concerning the road to prosperity this pro gressive ctiizenship has shown the High Point spirit which in its ultimate analysis means getting down to work and get ting results. We have passed through a great politcal election period the clamor of contending patriots has subsided, the recipes and" formu'as for prosperity have all been tucked back into the wind bag. And still High Point stands on its same old foundation, saw ing wood. Men at least those who are wise still go about their busi ness and the hunv of industry re sumes sway. All the fine spun campaign theories about prosperity may safely be forgotten in the face of the towns actual progress. Of all the wind in them not enough is let to fan a single forge fire into heat or to waft a single sail of commerce across the in dustrial sea. There is but one sound, ever abiding doctrine of prosperity, and that lies in these simple words of the High Point spirit. Get to work! It doesn't matter how you are, or what your business or occup pation is, if you apply that doc trine in your daily life in this town the chances are 99 out of 100 that you will find prosperity blooming all along your path. Good, honest hustle, faithfully kept up, 'beats all the theory. One good, hard lick for your self will do mure for the better ment of your town than all the politicians in the state ever will or can. And to the working man at the bench let us say the election has come and gone, and its re sults have been surprising to most of us; but an honest day's work still wins its profit or its wage, and that's the only , honest way to win it now, as it was be fore, and as it ever will be, while the old world swings and whirls. Every citizen wants our peo- p-e to be . prosperous, peaceful happy and getting down 10 work is the High Point spirit that will bring this about. It's the only sovereign recipe. Its the surest means of substan tial contribution to general pros perity, peace and happiness 111 our growing town. IN THE NEXT FOUR MONTHS Forging into the new year for four months, we find another large cotton mill completed giv ing employment to 400 extra em ployes the trebbling in capacity of the now mammoth Durham Hosiery Mills. 'Hie completion of the Coler Railroad from Denton to High Point. Completion of mammoth" department store a large number of handsome homes in Roland Park, and on the al ready beautifully developed res idential end of North Main street, the same building activity in the Quaker Grove property, and ac tive building in and around west end and South High Point. And greatest of, all the legisla tvie grant of Aycock county with its attendant county and munici pal bulidings. The High Point spirit is bringing all this to bear it is the sovereign recipe for town building. Let verybody" pull together.
