A Great Demonstration at High Point

The fire whistle sounded the note
of warning at the approach of the

form the throats of innumerable
whistles made the air resonant with
deafening noise. The demonstration
hardly had an equal here except per-
haps in the visits of President Roose-
welt, William J. Bryan and the Lib
erty Bell. Flags, banners and other
national colors were waved and hats
tossed in the air in jubilation of the
honor conferred upon a High Point

vigorously opposed the resolution.
He not only showed the superiority
of the school law, OF which he is the
author, over the Democratic school

HON. JONATHAN ELWOOD COX

The Republican Nominee for Govern
or is One of the States Best Busi-
ness Men.
Hon. Jonathan Elwood Cox, the
Republican nominee for Governor,
was born in Northampton County on
the first day of November, 1856, and
since that time he has been continu-
ously a resident of this State, and has
played a prominent part in its COM
mercial upbuilding.
Mr.. Cox is an untiring worker and
his fine business qualifications has
won for him a high place among the
business men of North Carolina. Mr..
Cox is of English descent, His an
cestors, who came from England,
settled in Perquimans County.
His father liven in Northampton
until Mr.. Cox was about two years
old when he moved his family to

perintendent of the Quaker school
at New Garden, which was after
wards converted into Guilford Col
lege. Mr.. Cox completed his col
legiate course in 1875 and his COM
mercial career was begun in 1875,
as a travelling salesman.
On the 23rd day of October, 1878,
he was married to Miss Bertha E.
Snow, the only daughter of Captain
William H. Snow, who has been
spoken of as 1.-The father and founder
of the real High Point" where in
the year 1880 he moved. Mr.. Cox
and Capt. Snow were afterwards as
sociated in the manufacture of hard
wood, at that time an industry prac-
tically unknown in North Carolina.
Today the business has grown until
through it's branch plants, it covers
nearly every Stae in the South and
it's finished product reaches nearly
every country in Europe. Mr.. Cox
now supplies the demand of nearly
the entire world for shuttle blocks.
He was one of the men who helped
to secure the railroad from Ashebore
to High Point, and was one of the
first directors of the company. He
was an active promoter in the estab
lishment of the Commercial Nationa
Bank of High Point in 1891, and a

RELIEF TO FLOOD SUFFERERS
Atlanta Sends Carload of Provisions
to Augusta, Which is Taken Up in
An Hour-The Situation There is
Distressing.

Augusta, Ga, August 31-The
food sufferers in Augusta are re-
ceiving first attention. All the work
done Sunday was to relieve the
needy. A carload of provisions sent
from Atlanta lasted less than an
hour. Supplies were unloaded near
the Union depot, loaded into big
transfer vans and hurried away to
the stricken areas. Many begged on
the streets all day. Near the North
Augusta bridge half naked white
women with children made piteous
appeals to the sightseers for help and
many kind-hearted passersby gave
all their money. Associated Chari-
ties are doing a noble work. The
city has been divided into districts,
manager appointed for each, relief
bureaus all over town and the desti-
tute are focking to these places for
help. Ministers of Augusta were
out all day wading in mud and water
up to their knees, distributing pro-
visions, cheering the disheartened,
praying with the sick, directing anx-
ious sufferers to relief stations. The
Southern Express Company volun-
teered the use of several of theft
wagons and garage owners gladly
extended to the relief managers their
cars.

Britt, of Asheville, arose and in an
eloquent speech placed Honorable j.
Elwood Cox, of High Point, as can
didate for governor. At the con-
clusion there was great demonstra-
ton which had been prearranged by
the friends of Mr.. Cox, and an enor-
nous banner was stretched across
the hall from gallery to gallery, de-
claring that J. Elwood Cox would be
the next governor of North Carolina,
and hundreds of men with banners
marched around the hall yelling and
shouting for many minutes. This
demonstration deferred the friends
of other candidates from presenting
their names. 1t was frequently said
in the convention that it would have
been in better taste to have deferred
this demonstration until after the
nomination so as to have given the
friends of other candidates an oppor-
tunity to present their names and
cast their votes for their first choice;
but, fortunately, there seemed to be
no i'll feeling carried away from the
convention on account of this Incl
dent.

Annapolis, Md, Dec. 23.-One

this old town was the scene of one OF
the most notable events in its long
history-the formal resignation of
General George Washington's mill
tary commission. II was on Decem-
Der %, 1873, that the father of his
country" after winning the final vic
tory in the most momentous war in
the worlds history. retired to civil
life.
This event was full of notable in
cidents. fastening from the affect
ing scene of his farewell audience
with the officers of his army, in a
triumphal journey, Washington ar
rived at Annapolis on the 18th of
December.
The news of General Washington's
approach had preceded him. and
few miles from Annapolis he was met
by Generals Gates and Smallwood,
and several of the principal inhab
itants, who attended him to MIR.

address. Washington made TO each
"A suitable reply. The last act of
Washington's official life, previous
to resigning his sword. was TO write
letter to Baron Steuben.
Old Mammie Nellie Owens, the
mammie in the family of Mrs. Rich

General Washington in the BARRIERS

dogged the great mans heels so that
