ESPECIAL to News and Observer


High Point, n. c., Feb. 6.-There is az
least one man in this town that prac-
tees what he breaches. He lis a good
man and is thus known of by men, and
is especially bitter against the liquor
traffic in any form. Several days ago he
received an order for some goods, &C
companied by $50 or more, with direc-
lions to making the articles to order,
as they were to be used in a bar-roola.
When this gentleman saw to what use
his would-be customer INTENDED putting
these articles of furniture. he promptly
returned the check, saying that he did
not want his order. OF course, there are
other such men here, but this is a case
in point that has been exemplified.
Weak minded people sometimes are the
most headstrong.

for 1920, 4 very favorable year, was
200, 900 bushels, and the crop was
sold at 81 per bushel.

are already grown will be vastly in
creased and the crop rendered more
reliable, but also that the apple rails
