There is Nothing Succeeds
Like Success.
A joyous party of friends assem-
bled at the M. P. church on South
Main street on Thursday evening
last, the occasion being the rally
and banquet to be given by the Ba-
racas to their members and friends.
The banquet was held at the large
hall of the Peoples Motor Co., on
Washington street. The hall was
beautifully decorated in blue and
white festooning with a sprinkling
of the stars and stripes, which gave
patriotic appearance to the scene.
Four long tables were arranged the
whole length of the hall and were
tastefully decorated in harmonizing
cOlOrs.
One could not fail to notice the
presence of the Philatheas, the sis
ter counterpart to the Barracks,
whose charming presence added so
much to the success of the occasion.
1t always has and always will be
an influence that brings out the best
efforts that men attempt, and is an
incentive to accomplish great things,
and on this occasion it was no eX-
ception to the general rule. In their
field of labor they have accom-
plished much good and to their CO.
operation is due much of the popu-
larity of the Baracas, and. we wish
them all the success they so justly
deserve.
Mayor W. P. Pickett made a
splendid address and gave some
very interesting accounts of the
progress of the school, of which he
has long been a member, and his
interest has never lessened as time
rolls On. He considers the Sunday
school the stepping-stone to prosper
ity and the passport to good So
ciety which cannot be entered thru
any other channel, and urges all
young men to stand by the Sunday
school and keep i'll touch with the
work.
A piano played soft music while
the vast assemblage did justice to
the many good things provided by
the worthy host, and the menu was
artistically and tastefully served by
a corps of efficient walters; about
$50 sat down to enjoy the repast.
This noble body of men who have
banded themselves together in one
mighty effort to advance the morals
and develop the spiritual, in every
ones nature, is doing a good work
that has an uplifting influence that
is sure to be felt as it Eliminates
from a motive that has no other
object but to be a benefit to any
one with whom they may come in
contact.
And the right hand Of fellowship
is always extended to bid you well
come. In looking over this body of
fine men who represented the health,
wealth and prosperity of High Point
one could not doubt of the unlim-
tied amount of good that can be &C
complished through this organiza-
ton, and with the cooperation of
the people, it cannot fail in it's OBJ
ject and is worthy of the moral and
spiritual support of every citizen
who has the welfare of High Point
at heart
There were several good addresses
made, notably those of Rev. R M.
of Grace M. P. church, of
Greensboro. who delivered very
scholarly address on Baracaism.
Mr.. A. M. Idol, who has been con-
nected with this school for 10 years,
gave very interesting account of
the progress made in this, time and
was for many years the Sunday
school superintendent. Mr.. Idol is
still in harness and is doing good
work in both school and church.
Mr.. C. 6. Robbins gave a very
graphic description of the attitude
of the church to the school, which
was very instructive.
Rev. r. c. Stubbins, of the Me-
chanicsville church, spoke on team
work in the class, but was forced to
change his subject when he reached
the floor, and saw the effect of the
Baraca efforts to steam" work as
no such results could be. brought
