That the Committee of One Thou
sand will sanction the strike vote
cast by 1874 trainmen and conduc-

tain.
The only uncertainty in the matter
now seems to be whether the COM

today or tomorrow.
The chance for an eleventh hour
offer of peaceful settlement from the
railroads is barely possible.

The first editor heard of was a fel-
low who wrote up the flood. He
has been here ever since. Some
editors belong to the church and
some try to raise whiskers. All of
them raise Cain in their neighbor
hood. Sometimes the paper dies
and then people feel glad, but some
one starts it up again. Editors never
went to school because editors don't

The Bond Issue Meeting Monday Night

A good crowd was on hand at the
Citizens Mass Meeting at the Indus
trial Club rooms Monday night to
hear discussed the proposed bond
issues for larger and better school
facilities aud for the further extern
sion of the water lines and building
a large pure water storage reservoir
inside the city. Those present re-
presented every calling and line of
our industrial life.
Mayor Tate ooened the meeting
by briefly outlining and explaining
the necessities for both the bond
issues in question and also the
ability of the city from a financial
point of view, to properly care for
these obligations, without placing
any burden or hardship upon the
taxpayers. The Mayors explana-
ton of the manner by which the
sinking funds for these issues may
be provided and. maintained by
Building and Loan stock and the
most rapid earnings in this man e.,
is very plausible one and will no
doubt appeal to the people as being
a practical, business-like and ad-
vantageous method of increasing
the city's assets, provided for the
retirement at maturity of all our
bond issues, and at the same time
give High Point the money now
with which to carry on these inn
provements so much needed.
A number of citizens responded
to the Mayors invitation to speak
OH the proposition and a special
request was made of those present,
if there were any, who opposed the
measure, to express their views and
to ask any question if further light
was needed There were no speech
es or any indication that any per-
son present opposed these bond is
sues and no doubt that when the
proposition is clearly put before the
voters, there will be practically no
opposition.
One feature of the forthcoming
election that appears to be unusual
ly fair, and that is, there will be
provided separate ballots and sepa-
rate boxes for the school bonds from
the water bonds, 80 that every voter
may take his choice and vote for all
or part just az he prefers. -: - -

BIG ROBBERY SUNDAY NIGHT
Store of Cannon & Fetzer Co. Eu-

On opening his store Monday
morning Mr.. Ed. W Freeze was
astonished to find that unwelcome
guests had entered sometime the
night before and appropriated much
valuable merchandise belonging to
the Cannon & Fetzer Co, in the way
of4shoes. shirts, suit cases, clothing
and other articles. the total being
something like $4,000. Entrance
was affected through a rear window,
by breaking the glass and lifting a
latch. 1t seems that the prowlers
had their nerve with them and took
plenty of time to thoroughly look
over the entire store. throwing things
they did not want right and left and
even went to one of the front win
dows and took a choice suit of
clothes. 1t would take more than
one man to carry off the goods
stolen, Mr.. Freeze thinks. An old
coat and pair of gloves were found
in the rear of the store and it is
quite likely the thieves wore off a
new outfit

MOB GOVERNMENT
(Woodrow Wilson in The New Free.
doIn.O

| am not afraid of the American
people getting up and doing some
thing. | am only afraid they will
not; and when | hear a popular vote
spoken of as mob government, I feel
like telling the man who dares so to
speak that he has no right to call
himself an American. You can not
make a reckless, passionate force
out of a body of sober people earn
ing their living in a free country.
Just picture to yourself the voting
population of this great land, from
the sea to the far borders in the
mountains, going calmly, man by
man, to the polls, expressing its
judgment about public affairs: Is
that your image of a "mob?"
What is a mob? A mob is a
body of men in hot contact with
one another, moved by ungovern-
able passion to do a hasty thing that
they will regret the next day. Do
you see anything resembling a mob
in that voting population OF the
countryside, men tramping over the
mountains. men going to the general
store up in the village, men moving
in little groups to the country groc-
cry to cast their ballots-is that
your notion of a mob? Or is that
your picture af a free self-govern-
ing people? I am not afraid of the
judgment so expressed, if you give
men time to think, if you give them
a clear conception of the things
they are to vote for; because the
deepest conviction and passion of
my heart is that the common peo-
pie, by which / mean all of us, are
to be absolutely trusted.

will be put on this list. The 'slow

merchants stick together as a whole
they can reform the credit system of

benefited immensely by joining the

Is THE EARTHLARCE ENOUGH?

If the earth is to hold the resur-
rected myriads Of mankind, as the
Scriptures declare (5zekiel 1859,
the resurrection must take place
soon, as enough of mankind have
now been born to nearly fill it. In
1915 its population was 6o7 200, 900
based on estimates of Volney, 1904,
of 437 900 900, Pinkerton, 1905, of
100, 900. 900, Malte-Brun, 1910, of
$40, 900, 900, Morse, 1912, of 77o,
600, 900, Graberg Won Hemso, 1913,
of 68o, 900, 900, Balbi, 1916, of 7O4,-
600, 900 and Balbi, 1843, Of 739,-
600, 900. Within the past fifty
years the population has doubled,
due to fewer wars and impro ed
methods of food production and
medical skill in prolonging life.
Modern chronologists, taking their
stand on the Bible figures, accept
ifhe present year. 1913, as the year
of,man on the earth, GOAL. Aeam

death to the present time is Sill
yeats, or, counting the generations
per century, 153 generations. lgnor-
ing the Deluge, and the great wars
and pestilences which have often
obliterated nations, and counting
earth's population as a steadily
growing number from Adams day
to ours. we have 153 generations of
333, 100000 each, or 51,025, $780,

beings who have lived does not ex-

Will the earth hold these when
they are resunected, is an interest
ing question. Let us see. In a
