gone wild over the proposition
for th (preatiow of a new county
embracing portions of Guilford,
Ratldoicih'and Davidson, with
High (oint 89 the county seat.
We are free to say it would be
a magrnifleent county one of
the best 'and most progressive
in the state. But Thomasville
is not afc ll enthueed over the
proposition as she is already
in a good ' county and within
twenty, minute's of the court
house.
The High Point people are to
be commended for their zeal in
the matter. It would mean
everything to them. It does
not help a dead town to be
made the oounty seat, as for in
stance, Halifax, Wentworthand
Dobson but it does help a live
town; and if High Point is not
alive the rest of .Us are dead.
The new county would also
be a saving of time and money
to the country people in the ter
ritory who are from twenty to
twenty-five miles from their
county seats, . many of them
having bad roads to travel. For
the most part these country
people are in favor of the move
ment. The principle - opposition
comes from the town of Thom
asville itself, and the reason of
this opposition lies in the fact
that the benefits of the new
county to Thorpasville would
be so small that the game would
hardly be worth the candle. If
th3 whole of- our people living
within the limits of the new
territory were solidly in favor
ot it there would be an excellent
' prospect of success before the
legislature; but with any divi
sion whatever among the peo
ple interested in the case is
well nigh hopeless.
This, as we uneerstand it, is
about the status of affairs at
tin writing.s
' The qJestioW of' water works
for the town miht as well be
faced for it will become more
and more pressing until we
shall be forced in self-defense
to take it up; and it may be at
fearful cost. The Orphanage
was driven by a scourge of ty
phoid fever to put in its sys
tem. Our fine natural drain
age has stood us in good' stead,
but it is. folly to depend on
natural drainage for 5.CC0 peo
ple. The wise man foreseeth
the evil.
Charlotte's famous "Four
C's," the power company that
has done so much' for the devel
opment of that city, has been
gobbled up by the Southern
Power Company. So far from
complaining, the citizens are
chuckling over the deal, for ii
means still greater things for
Charlotte.
It is said that David B. Hill
left an estate worth only $25,
000. The world honors him
because he died comparatively
poor. In view of all this it is
rather strange that so many
men toil and sacrifice and suf
fer to accumulate a pile that
brings discredit at last.
In a great number of ourhomes
there ia joyous expectation of
the Christmas holidays. Our
host of college boys and girls
will come home to spend that
happy season.
The splendid brick block oq
North Salem street will
add-
immensely1 to the appearance
of that part of the town when
it ia finished.
A WISE MV(Mtt

It is proposed "to Bold on next
Monday night a citizens meet
ing" tbat means" more to -the
community than anvtnofM-Feir
a a a at . t ' a - l
this town this year. Fj
it was suggested oy pit
Kooert Li. iwamoetn, ana- is
creditable ti hiheart.'' Bdis
thoroughly acquainted with the
financial condition of large
numbers. of our., people, and
that knowledge has moved him
to make the suggestion. .
Here it is: That an organ i
zation, be. effected of as many
of our people as will willingly
enter into the movement to
pay one dollar each month,- the
money ' to be used in relieving
the necessities of the poor and
suffering among our, people,
That a judicious committee be
appointed to have this matter
in charge, who shall work in
conjunction with the Civic
League, or not as may be
thought best, their business
being to fully investigate every
case brought to their attention,
and supply such as are helpless
and destitute with the necessi
ties of life.
This movement is not intend
ed to put a premium on lazi
ness or thrift lessness; but to
see to it that the innocent do
not suffer through the neglect
of others, and that the children
of misfortune may not freeze
or starve.
It is a good time to move in
this direction. The happy
Christmas season is just ahead.
Some of us may not have been
wise heretofore in the distribu
tion of our gifts. Why not put
a part of the money, at least,
that we are in the habit of
throwing away, into channels
service for those who really
need our help?
Let the grouchy stay away.
This organization is not for
them. The Lord loveth a cheer
ful giver. Those who are sus
picious that .the money will be
improperly applied need not
join. It is more than likely
however that such persons are
really not suspicious; they are
simply stingy.
The benevolent of the com
m unity will be offered this
means of exercising their be
nevolence; and we believe that
there are one hundred people
in the trvwn of Thotaaaville
Uo will gladly givewne'o'birer1
a month to relieve the dis trees
that will be felt during the cold
bleak winter months. . We
trust this undertaking will apt
peal to those who have pity in
their hearts for the poor, and
that they will promptly report
on Monday night.
The Southern Power Com
pany has its eye on Thomas
ville. The fact thatit has pre
pared itself to furnish almost
unlimited power at th's point
means much every way. Wha
t le town is now is nothing to
what it shall be. And we will
not have long to wait.
Ransom it shall be. We are
not enamored of the name, but
that is neither here nor there.
It would have been wissr, how
ever, not to have selected the
name of any man, especially of
one who was by no means a
universal favorite.

of these European kingdoms; Bel

many as Scotland ' and Ireland
combined. It has twice a many as
Australia, and it exceeds all Canada!
by at least one-third.
Its population ia the same as
England's at the first census of that
country; taken In 1801, and two and
one-third times greater than that of
the entire United States at our own
6ret centsus, taken in 1790. '".L '
New York S'ate is more populous
than any country in South America
except Bfaxil, and it exceeds1 any
other country in North America ex
cept Mexico. Its increase of 1,84,.

than the population of any State
west bf the Mississippi except Cali
fornia, and is almost exactly equal'
to that of Maine and Conneticut
combined. .' ' '
But what is still more interesting,
the population of New York City ex
ceeds by more than 400,000 the pop
ulation of the rest of the state. '
