ted by state superintendent of pub

which is printed in another part OF

and. other civic and religious bodies,
backed up by 762.607 children Of
school age in North Carolina crying
out for better educational opportu-
mites to better fit themselves for
services in the state. to society. to
humanity, and to God. We trust
that the measure viii become law
and that the General Assembly will
not delay the matter any longer than
possible. See article of Mr.. Joyners

a city, with a population of 10000

its incorporate limits, taking in a
number of the mill settlements, in
cluding the million and half dollar
Loray Mills. There are now Is big
cotton mills within the incorpora-
ton. The interurban line from Char
lotte to Gastonia is a great conven-
ience, cars running almost hourly.
A government building to cost
$85, 900 will soon go up and at pres
ent fine bank building and num-
ber of others are waiting for the con-
tractors. Gastonia shows push and
energy and her citizens are loyal,
true and kind. We visited at the
home of Mr.. D, A. Cline, a relative,
who is connected with the Albion

* Of course there is some opposition
to Aycock county, even in our own
city as would be the case in any
pi aggressive movement here or else
where but the opposition is only a
ripple as compared to the great
wave of enthusiasm for it.
High Points proposed new muni-
cipal building should be located
nearer the center of the city. It is
not good business judgment to locate
it anywhere but the best place and
the proposed new site is not the best
place.
Are a few people in High Point
opposed to a new county or is it a
bigger municipal territory they are
praying for. However its the new
county that the vast majority want
and not the second best thing" with

Seattle, Jan. Wah-ha n-Gun-
Ia, which translated into English
means Wiley Wimpuss, Chief Fire
maker, the 131-year-old Blackfoot
Indian from Glacier reservation,
will soon celebrate another birthday.
Chief Firemaker is said to be the
oldest human being in the world,
having been born in. the region now
known as Glacier National Park, in
1881, according to well authenticat-
ed tradition.
He wac the first red man in that
territory to visit the great white fa-
ther, and the journey to the nation
al capital. when President Jefferson
was in the White House, was a
memorable event in his life. He is
regarded in his tribe as oracle.
At the time of his birth, so the
Indian legend goes, the father of all
spirits, standing on Mountain, /,
SHOT an arrow near his fathers te-
PIE. The prophecy as interpreted
Dy the medciine men is that he
would live forever ard assist the
gods in their councils. The aged
Indian is a ehieftain of his tribe and
in his younger days was a fine
shot and atheist.

PROGRESSIVE C CONSERVATIVE
WRITES
To the Editor of The RevieWl

According to the action of the
City Council Monday afternoon the
tax payers of High Point will, at an
early date, again be called upon to
vote on the tissue of bonds to the
amount Of $50 900. or more as fol-
lows: ID For Public school build
ings, additions and equipment, $50
900. CD For water storage reser-
voir in city. pumps and equipment
for same. and for the installation s.of
a publication disposal plant for
sewerage in the western section of
the city, $4,000. (3) For a muni-
/ cipal building, including citymarket,
fire station, and equipment, $50, 900.
In addition to this $150,00O there
will likely be another $4,000 for
the establishment and maintenance
of city hospital or in round num-
bers 100000.
With the above facts stated I
would like to ask il the present ad-.
ministration is not going a little too
fast; isn't it creating bigger bonded
Indebtedness than the law in its true
sense in such cases allow and more
particularly than we can pay for
going it blindly in a sense. Can we
carry much more of a burden with
the present valuation of property in
the city and the high tax rate and
nearly a half million in bonds al
ready hanging over our heads? We
do not want to appear "unprogres-
sive'-you know a person these
days is called unprogressive by some
if he raises his voice even against
an over burden of tax-yet we be-.
lieve ain ounce Of forethought is
worth pound of .afterthought
Haven't we now and in the future,
will have enough necessities to look
after without the extra thrown in to
create heavy enough debt. 1t is

and wherefores of the past. most
