C, Dec. 6 It will be more than the next few months it may be a continuous session for a year according to the general belief of members. It was conceded that President Wilson would call the extra ses sion about April I, and no one was willing even to hazard a guess as to when the Democratic Uouse and Senate would be will ing to sop their tariff work. The "short session," which will begin Monday, and which must terminate by March 4, under the constitutional requirement, will be a busy one in a routine way. There are nearly a score of the big "budget" or general appro praition bills which have the right of way over other legisla tive business, and leaders predict that not more than one or two other blils would ever get on the statute books particularly since a goodly part of the Senate's time for a few weeks at least, will be consumed in the impeachment trial of Judge Robert Arch bald, but it was generally believ ed that he Adamson bill for phy sical valuation of railroads, the Clayton bill limiting Presidents to one term of six years, purchase of "Monticello,'' the home, of Jefferson, and possibly the De partment of Labor bills, might be passed. The general plan of leaders to- J night was to recess for the Christ mas holidays about December 21, reconvening again about January 5 or 6. o DOLLS 1 DOLLS!! DOLLS!!! Santa Claus will be here with a special lot of dolls on Saturday the fourteenth and display them in the windows of Peoples House Furnishing Company.

The Young Women's Mis sionary Society of Washington street church will have them in charge so if you are planning to purchase a doll -for some little tot, please call on them.

The Doctors Meet Guilford County Medical So ciety had a splendid meeting la?t night at the Manufacturers Club, which lasted until 10.30 o clock. There were a number of visiting physicians present. The discus sions were varied and highly in teresting. At the conclusion of the meeting the doctors repaired to the Elwood hotel where a magnificient spread awaited them. Dr. I. W. Long was toastmas- ter and presided in his inimitable way. The toasts at the banquet were highly interesting as well as timely and everyone present had a most delightful evening. The banquet broke up in time for the doctors to catch the 12.30 northbound train. The Enterprise takes this oc casion to congratulate the society as wel las the High Point Aca demy of Medicien for their pro gressiveness and the voluntary aid the members are rendering to case of emergency and would re- to humanity. A Favored Section "The frost is on the pumpkin, and the corn is in the shock" and plentitudc is he word The c-.i.j! nights and the refreshing rains recently signify that the summer is long ago past and winter is at hand. Through the country tur key and quail are plentiful. Around the poultry-yard the young turkeys are grown so lusty they almost equal their parents in size same way with all the other denizens of this domain. The farmers have worked hard and the results in the many instances have been satisfactory, no doubt, for do not the tillers of the soil from year to year give both their own families, along with, those of the city dweller, cause for thanksgiving by raising a generous supply of good things to eat for all? Take a spin over our improved country roads in an automobile on one of these beautiful days and the trip will probably pro voke an exclamation of thankful ness when you contrast them with the country roads of a de cade ago. One little journey of this nature will satisfy you of the glories of old Piedmont. Better farm buildings, fences and the general appearance of the country side all go to show that with each succeeding year changes are tak ing place which will stand for fu ture prosperity in the rural dis tricts and those of us who live in the prescribed area of Aycock county, live in the most favored section of this grand old state. FAMOUS ANIMAL ARTIST Mr. G. Muss Arnolt, who is stopping at the Bellevue, and who is here for the field trials, is America's famous animal artist. BOTH GLADLY RECEIVED. The Enterprise is pleased to re cevie the many communications and the kind endorsement of much of its work, We are also glad to get communications from our readers who may differ with us, and these communications we are always glad to publish. BASKETBALL Trinity High School and James town High School play a match game this afternoon at James town. The young , ladies from Trinity went down on the noon train and say they expected t win. Don't buy a long coat until you see the $10 ones at Aliens. The Next Municipal Acquisition In the rapid march of progress here which is noticeable in every line of business, it might be well for us to look to the future and even at our present needs. One of the most important matters that confronts the town always is a safe-guard against fire. This requires plenty of water and fire apparatus. With so much at stake here, it would be wise to erect a reservoir with a capacity of 2,500,000 gallons which would be ever rlu:tily in case of emergency and uoH re lieve the pumping situation at the station. j Then we need a motor stean fire engine. This would be the pride of the town, and pperated by a paid force would hot only save expnse in, the matter of in surance but would throir a safe guard around all of our property. These suggestions have been thrown out by some of our wide awake business men and it might be well to think over them. The truth of the matter is our town is growing rapidly and v e need more money for schools and city improvements. v Attend Tonight IMPORTANT MEETING TO NIGHT INDUSTRIAL CLUB Do not forget the annual meet ing tonight at 7 o'clock. It is very important that there be a full attendance of all the live cit izens of the town. Please be on time. Opening New Street Mr. Editor: What de-you think abont open ing up the strip of land back of the Bank of Commerce, connect ing Rankin and Second streets. Citizen. Preliminary estimates are un der way to obtain the cost of the opening up of this street. Every one realizes it is very much need ed and would develope another nice business 'block, and also an enhancement of values to all abut ting property. It would also open up new property, for store sites, which is greatly needed. The plan of the Enterprise has always been for this extension by con necting Rankin and Second street and continuing Second street to the Johnson property on the north, and Rankin street to the extreme south end of town, as to make a thorough roadway for access to many existing business houses, providing suitable sites for additional enterprises of the same characte. NEXT LYCEUM ATTRAC TION The International Operatic Company will appear here next Friday, December 13th. This is the strongest number on the se ries costing twice as much as most attractions. The organiza tion is composed of professional performers, and musicains of wide experience and reputation. Their program will include vocal solos, ducts, quartets, piano solos and an operatic production in cos tume. These thoroughly trained artists are costumed in a rich, beautiful manner for their char acter songs and the selections from grand opera and popular opera show great good taste in recognizing the limitations of ly ceum requirements. -o BECOMING VERY POPULAR The inauguration of the six o'clock evening dinner by Mr. Lewis Woodson of, the Elwood struck a popular chord here. Henry Easley and his superb or chestra has been furnishing a fine musical program. The menu ser ved may Je seen in Saturday's issue,.- .. .

WHY TRAINS ARE LATE Mr. Editor: Why arc so many of the trains late nowadays, and what is the railroad ruling in regard to it. Citizen. On November 16 last, the In terstate Commerce Commission made a ruling (the railroads had nothing to do with the ruling) limiting all passenger trains on all lines to 48 mils an hour, and all freight trains on all lines to 25 miles an hour. It is our under standing that the demand for this dule was due to the recent wr:ka caused by cngincrs trying to make up lost time. Under the recent ruling if a train is late, it cannot run over the prescribed rate of 48 miles an hour. The ruling is to safeguard the public from train wrecks. Many of the engineers throughout the country have re quested that speedometers be at tached to their engines, to exon erate them in case of avcident where otherwise they might be charged with exceeding the speed limit. The past two weeks in the real estate realm was not a dull one by any means, and the aggregate of business closed up was much larger than usual, and then too, there was a holiday in the mean time. Being the last of the year many closed deals knowing that next year's prices will certainly show a rise. In the Roland Park property, out of the score of prospective buyers many have closed, while the Barbee property that residential and charming thoroughfare looms up large in the popular eye. Another Beautiful Residential Section. We understand that the sales in sections of the Barbee prop erty have been going steadily along. The owners of this fine residential section are spending from $12,000 to $15,000 in devel opment. This particular section so favorably located on the road between High Point and Greens boro has over 450 building lots and some day it will be a verit able little city by itself. We understand that in a short while the fight for the extension of the city limits in both directions is bound to come because they are the coming sites of many of the largest and richest homes. The city fath ers themselves can but see that this is to be a mighty attractive resident section, and street im provement and extension must mark the improvements in this section in the coming spring. Throughout this section many lots have already been bought by those who will build most beau tiful homes. Real Estate Will Advance. Next spring will show an un precented building boom in resi dential property and with the boom real estate prices are going to advance. BOY SCOUTS Boy Scouts of Washington Street M. E. church will meet at the Industrial Club rooms to night at 7 o'clock. Dr. McAnally will lecture on First Aid. Let ev ery scout be present. o THE TRAFFIC LAW. There was more gasoline on the Recorder's docket this morn than ever before. There were iS cases against automobile drivers for breaking the new traffic law and all were fined $10. The au thorities have given out that this new traffic law will be strictly en forced. Copies of it have been printed and sent out to hundreds of citizens and every one should be familiar with it. It is highly necesary that such a law be in operation. There are now over 200 automobiles here and in the vicinity and more coming. H is utterly impossible to operate in safety on the streets unless the maximum speed is very low and care is given to turning corners It is hard to pay a fine, but we had rather pay a hundred than, kill or hurt a child or any one else. - REVIVAL MEETINGS PRES BYTERIAN CHURCH.
