elder of the Shelby District, has
been elected President of Greensboro
College, to succeed Mrs. Lucy M.
Robertson. who has been president
for a number of years, and whc has
done great work for this grand
old southern college. Mrs. Robert
son was unanimously elected presl-
dent emeritus of the college for life.
No woman has performed greater
service for her people than Mrs
Robertson and she resigns with the
good will of everyone. DR.. Turren-
tine is an able successor, and under
his management even larger things
are predicted for the college.

$4,000 has been pledged for the
building of~the new NJ E. Church, of
this city, to be located on the old
Ham Lindsay lot on North Main
Street. There is a desire on the
part of many of the congregation to
remain with the Washington Street
Church and buy the property, and
thus create another NJ. E. Church
congregation for this city.
The millinery openings of Moffitt
Furnishing Company. Miss Venetia
Smith and H. A. Moffitt last week
were largely attended, notwithstand-
ing the incle1nency of the weather
All three report the largest sales in
the history of the business during
the opening. which is to say that it
is best for all the milliners, of the
city to have their openings on the
same day as the people can view
the hats and make their selections
without waiting for another opening
to see if someone has hat they
like better.

HIGH POINT WOMAN DRINKS
CARBOLIC ACID

Mrs. Will Hicks, who lives at 500
Green ST., this city, and who was,
before marriage, Miss Grace Stilley
drank an ounce of carbolic acid on
the platform of the passenger station
in Greensboro Monday afternoon
With the woman was Mr.. w. P. Size
more, a second cousin, who admitted
that he had been living with the
woman for the past four months at
Schoolfield, Va. He was taken in
custody and is being held pending a
full investigation of the matter. The
woman was Immediately taken to
St. Leo's Hospital, in an ex-
tremely critical condition: Size
more said he told the woman that
she could not remain with him any
longer, that ae intended to 90 to
Winston, and the woman come back
to High Point, Both the man and
woman carried suit cases, and in
each was found life insurance
policies of $500 each, one made out
for the benefit of Sizemore and the
other for the benefit of the girl. By
her death Sizemore would profit to
the amount of $500. In his grip
was also found two half-flled vials
of carbolic acid and a pistol and it
looks like it was premeditated.
LATER-Miss Grace Stilley will
no doubt recover. Sizemore was
given his liberty on the statement
of Miss Stilley that he did not have
any knowledge whatever of her
rash act. She arrived here yester,
day afternoon.

power. The higher he rises the

A COMMUNICATION

Mr.. Editor
[ believe that the most underpaid
class of men are the police. The
price, as rule, only appeals to a
class of brutal men. This rule ap-
plies to every small town in the
country. I have known policemen
without any education to serve pa
pers and arrest reputable citizens
for imaginary causes, when the po-
liceman only got salary of $22.5O
per month. / believe that if the
policemen were better paid; say
$500 per month, and require the
applicant to be sober, of good char
acter, quiet temper, conservative in
all of his actions, better results
would be accomplished. A drunk
man is not brute, as represented
by some temperance fanatics, but
is human being, with his faults.
The law should not send a british,
cheap, fractious policeman to abuse
and beat up a man in an intoxicat-
ed condition, but should guard, pro-
tect and care for the unfortunate,
and when sober, try to show him
the right way Temperance can
never be taught by abuse; the best
hearted men of this day are social
ed drinkers; they are charitable,
willing to give justice, loyal to their
friends; and usually have but one
enemy, and that is their own selves.
Being a man nearly forty years old,
coming in contact with every type
of man, find less hypocrisy among
the drinking class than among the
so-called temperance class. How
ever I do not uphold the drinking
man, as whiskey | believe to be
great evil, and I voted for state
wide prohibition, and know that
Whiskey is curse to all mankind,
but the present plan of temperance
is all wrong. You can persuade but
you cannot drive; and see no good
being accomplished by laws gotten
up by fanatics that are seldom en-
forced. CITIZEN.

BURIED 14O YEARS

Monroe-While excavating on
the Government lot, the workmen
dug up a box containing the bones
of a human being, supposedly a
child about 10 years old. The cof-
fin was strongly built and put to-
gether with home made nails.
C. N. Simpson. Sr., authority on his
torical events, says it must have
been buried fully 14O years ago
when this county was first settled,
for in those days nails were made
in the shops. There is no record OF
the property ever having been used
as a cemetery. This was the only
coffin found.
