+ The Executive departMnv Of the
CITY government is being criticised
no little on account Of the Sunday
selling conductwhich has been grow
ing from bad to worse in our midst
until last Sunday it looked almost
like the whole town was wide open.
Barber shops under the pretext OF
selling cigars and papers. candy
shops, all drug stores, news and cigar
counters, and in fact every place of
business that could find any excuse
whatever, was running full blast.
In. Justice however, to some OF the
drug stores, let me say that they
did this against their personal desire
and only on account of certain con-
dtions practically forced on them
within the past few days.
When one place of business makes
the statement (Which by the way,
do not beHeve) that to- close on
Sunday causes him loss of nearly
$4,000. then it certainly seems to
me that enough of the good thing
is too much. With the hope that
itiaay not be too late to set orr city
straight in the eyes OF our nelghbor-
ing cities and the world generally,
/ propose to- act as the law permits
now and with all power possible.
Beginning next Sunday shall in
woke the law as covered by our city
ordinances, and whiCh ordinances
are supported by the state law,
against Sunday selling and by putt
ing on duty sufficient officers and
plain clothes men, endeavof-to bring
into court every vioIator IF this law.
The law. specifies that articles OF
necessity shall consist only sot medl-
Cines on prescription or otherwise
for immediate and actual need and
meals at lunch counters or tables In
restaurants or hotels. We shall
therefore assume that all other artl-
cles of whatever nature are not to be
construed as necessities, and with
this understanding the police officers
are instructed to do their duty IN
each and every case of violation.
| All persons are therefore warned
that so long as this law remains on
our books it will be enforced with
ali vigor possible.
If those persons who fear God
and have any desire to keep His
commandments, will but view this
matter from the standpoint OF duty,
we will not only experience little OF
no trouble in enforcing this law, but
we will also have the support and
co operation of very large majority
of our citizenship.
wish to add that it will also be
our purpose to Immediately put Out
of business every number or chance
device displayed on a number OF the
counters in stores and other places
in the city, these things being moth
4lng less than gambling devices cal
culated to attract trade and at the
same time injure the youth OF Hlgl
Point.
TO my mind there is no question
about High Point being able to ge
along fairly we'll and at the same
time retain the respect of the worlt
at large without selling gasoline ant
Gil, cigars and cigarettes, soft drinks
more properly called dope, ice cream
and other refreshments, papers etc.
on the Sabbath day and if the goo
people of the community will but d
\ their duty il support of Sunda.
law enforcement, we will give tn
proposition fair trial at least.
Respectfully.

Help Pave the Sidewalks.

The city council will commence
at once the laying of cement side
walks in all parts OF the town
where the owners of the property
abutting on any city block will sign
an agreement in writing to pay one
half of the estimated cost, which
will be 90 cents a lineal yard or rs
cents a lineal foot We urge upon
all of our property owners to unite
with the city council in providing
the town with good sidewalks,
which have been one of the towns
greatest needs for long time. The
city can get the work done now
cheaper than at any time in the fu-
ture on account of the general de-
preston prevailing. There are
something like "a 900 yards of side
walks in the town and already prop
erty owners have signed up for the
cementing of something like 900
yards. If you have not already ar
ranged for the laying OF a cement
sidewalk in front of your property,
see the council so that the nee .Ssary
material may be ordered at once.
