With 225 homes yet need to ac

One objection a number of peo-
nle have made to ooeninc their

they could accord the entertain -
ment they would desire to give Rev. G. T. Rowe was in the
their guests. It was stated from city yesterday afternoon. return
Sunday school headquarters yes- ing from Trinity where he deliv-
terday that the delegates would
not exnect the hospitality, or
special enter tainmcnt which such
people naturally would like to I
give their guests, but would only
want a place to sleep and eat
The delegates are coming here
for business and most of their
time will be spent in the sessions
of the convention or on the
streets.
Sunday school leaders are con
fident that this will be one of the
most important and most helpful
conventions ever held in the his
tory of the state association. Un
usual intetrest has been mani
fested, the Sunday school people
generally feeling that the work
has assumed new importance ana
has more force for the accom
plishment of good than ever be
fore. Cher 500 delegates have
registered already, and whatever
falling off there may be from this
number ts not expected to be
more than the number coming
who have not sent in their names.

FREIGHT RATES '
The railroads had as well let it
percolate through their, heads
that the state is in earnest about
discrimination practiced against
North Carolina towns and cities,
The old obsolete tariffs which are
so complex and ambiguous and
which railroad men themselves do
not understand wil lhave to give
way, to modern mthods and the
railroads must recognize that
North Carolina cites are just as
good and entitled to the same
treatment as Virginia cities
Our people do not ask for any-
thing that is hot right and rea
sonable and the same that other
cities have, and we- will not be
content with less and , we will
fight it out on these lines if it
takes all summer.

A Clean City
The city authorities have just
complete a thorough clean up 01
every street by hauling away all
rubbish of every description,
which had been placed along the
streets by the people in the clean
up campaign, which has been go
ing on during the past two weeks
The Civic Department of the
Woman's Club contributed one
half the expense of this work
and the entire city is under obli
gations to this club for its splen
did efforts in this work each year,
The Mayor requests that any
person, who may know oi any
rubbish which has been overlook
ed or who knows of any unsight
ly conditions on any streets or
any yard, or who may know of
places on private land within the
city limits, which need ditching
or draining .so Js to prevent the
breeding of mosquitoes, that he
be informed without delay so that
special effort may be made to rid
the community of these unhealth-
ful conditions.
The Mayor also urges that from
this time on, every property own
er exercise a proper amount of
pride and cnertrv in keeping his
promises and the street in front
thereof in a tidy condition. Each
property owner is expected to
keep the grass and weeds, not
only in his front yards, but 011 Wis
sidewalk as well, carefully trim
med everv few weeks. It would
be surprising to know how quick
ly this will kill the weeds and
how much it will help the jjrass
to grow. !
Let us all' make a special effort
to make High Point more hcauti-
fi I in every respect '

minstrel shows that ever visited
our city gave an entertainment at
the Eagle theater last night. All
who saw it are enthusiastic in
their praise of this splendid com

chestnuts that we have heard all
our lives, but were fresh, full of
spice and ginger and the perform
ance made all feel glad they were
living and on this side of : the

MAYOR TATE ADDS HIS
ENDORSEMENT
To The Suggestion to Make
High Point the Violet City.
Mr. Editor:
1 wish to add my hearty en
dorsement to the very timely sug
gestion of our townsman, Mr. E.
A. Snow, with regard to beauti
fying our city by planting violets
along- all of its principal streets.
In my opinion, nothing more
beautiful could be planned ami at
an expense so insignificant that it
would work a hardship on 110 per
son. If'wc ever expect to have a
city beautiful, we must realize
the necessity for -co-oenration
along all lines of civic pride and
endeavor. In just a few years
we may, by the proper effort,
bring to pass such a beautiful
transformation that Ilitrli T'oint
will be known not only in name
but in fart, as the Violet City.
Let Mr. Snow load in this
worthy undertaking and then let
all fall in, without exception, and
with one aim and one purpose
carry on the work to completion
I. ei us do another thmtr at the
same time, and that is to insti
into the minds and hearts of
those who are thoughtless, or
without proper pride or respect
that it is a crime to despoil or in
jure the flower beds, the hedc-
or the shade trees of the citv, and
that it is an evidence of poor cit
izenship to wilfully neirlect our
front yards or premises by per
mitting weeds and filth to accu
mulate.
Let us teach the boys and girls
lesson of thrift and tidiness. It
will bring them profit in dollars
some day and it will add to our
contentment and enjoyment won
derfully.
The Violet City, may her fame
soon b known throughout the
land.
Respectfully,
Fred X. Tate, Mavor.
