AS the time draws nigh for the

we going to celebrate the event in a
fitting manner?" High Point has
pulled off some great 18th of July
celebrations and brought large
crowds here. 1t is a good thing for
the town and her business interests
to bring the people among us. Twice
we had very spectacular parades.
with many beautiful floats and horse
back riders, the parade stretching
out mile or more. One year we
had an added attraction, an aero
plane, and many other stunts to in
terest the people. 1t should be
made an annual affair so the people
for miles around could look forward
to coming here on that day for a
holiday. What shall we do about
it? High Point should have some
fun along this line once year any
way?

The Road Built by the Southern Con
federaCy.

Greensboro, N. C., May 26.-
Among the lines now being double
tracked by the Southern Railway 4,
one stretch, SO miles in length, be-
tween Greensboro and Pelham. was
originally constructed under the di-
rection of the Confederate govern
ment and has remained as perhaps
the most permanent monument of
any work done by the Confederacy.
Veterans from states south of Vir-
ginia, who 60 to the reunion at Rich
mond over the Southern, will have
an opportunity to travel over this
line and to see the work of double
tracking now in progress.
The entire line from Greensboro
to Danville, Va, was constructed by
the Richmond and Danville for the
Confederate government as a war
measure. Some years ago this line
was double tracked from DanvilIe
to Pelham, N c.. 9 miles. Despite
the many Improvements that have
been made, the location of this line.
as determined by the war time en-
gineers, has never been changed
aud so we'll did they do their work
that when the double tracking was
undertaken very few changes were
found necessary and, in the main,
the work has been simply the con-
struction of a parallel track.
The Confederate authorities saw
the strategic value of line connect
ing the r. & D. with the North Caro-
lima Railroad and were able to bring
to bear sufficient pressure to over
come the obstacles which had pre-
viously stood in the way of its con-
struction owing to the rivalry of
North Carolina and Virginia, each
state seeking to protect its own rail-
way interests. The necessary rail
was procured by tearing up other
roads and when at the close of the
war the line was confscated by the
United States as one of the assets of
the Confederacy. there was prolonged
litigation before the Richmond and
Danville secured undisputed title.

climb the building, proceeded to
carry out his plans, and adding real
thrills to it. too, by hanging from
one hand, missing his footing. ETC.,
while at a dizzy height to the un-
easiness of the timid and to the en-
thusiasm of the steady-nerved. The
ascentwas made with apparent ease,
notwithstanding part of the climb
near the top was made OH smooth
brick with very few places for even
a toe or finger hold. The crowd
thoroughly enjoyed the performance
and wishes for "Satanet," both drink
and man, the best of luck. A short
history of Mr.. Gardiner follows:
H. H. Gardiner is a native of New
York, is about 36 years old, married
and has three children. He has been
practicing his profession for over 20
years, during which time he has
climbed the face of many of the
tallest buildings in the country, in
Guiding the Singer building and the
Flat Iron building. 1t was while wit
Messing his climb of Grant, tomb
in New York that President Grover
Cleveland dubbed him the human
fly" which name has stuck to him
since.
Mr.. Gardiner is not a freak, but is
clean cut American gentleman, a
stockholder in the company he. ad-
vertises and represents, and uses
his rare skill and cool head in ad-
vertising.

ed.
It is the idea of the Council to re-
trench as much as passible to pay
the $4,000 salary of the city mana
ger and possibly reduce the expen-
ses elsewhere, which is doubtless al
right, if good men will accept the
jobs at such low prices as named.
We doubt it, seriously and sooner
