Does High Point Endorse
Sabbath Breaking1

Again we call attention to the fact
that the Sabbath in High Point
should not be \desecrated by having
a race of carrier pigeons begin here.
Certainly there are bets up on the
outcome and We fail to see any diff
ference as between a horse race, test
of endurance or the like, yet High
Point wouldn't allow these on the
Sabbath. We know we are right
and we are calling for the enforce
ment of the law on the books, which
is not made to shield one class and
favor another.

PRESIDENT MCNEIL TALKS
STRAIGHT. p


Tells of What Loss will Re-
suit to High Point in Dis
placing Chief Hornev.
Hear What the President of the
N. c., Firemen's Association Has
to Say in Regard to Displacing
A. B. Horney.
Nv Dear Sir and Friend:-
l am in receipt of yonr favor of
the 4th and most certainly regret to
to hear of the very unfortunate and
certainly very impolitic action of
the Governing Board of your city in
regard to Chief Horney-and not
only to him personally, but to the
welfare of both your entire Depart
ment and the City of High Point
itself. l am a Democrat from way
back, one who has committed almost
every political crime known to man
except murder in the interest of the
party in this section, but I can
imagine of no condition except to
get rid of an incompetent man, that
would justify the dismissal from the
fire service, of man whose known
and acknowledged capacitp is as
well-known as that of Chief Horney.
Your City Council is certainly max
ing a grievous mistake and I only
wish that knew some of them per-
sonally, so that I could talk to them
from a man to man standpoint.
Under no circumstances, should
partisan politics enter into the
management of the Fire Depart
ment of the city, or in fact into
Municipal Government at all. IT
IS STRICTLY A BUSINESS PROPO-
SITION AND NOT A POLITICAL
ONE. | know of City, that is and
always has been overwhelmingly
Democratic, but it has had for 20
years, Republican Fire Chief
(Chief Swingly of St. Louis) Har-
mony, is absolutely essential to a
properly managed Fire Department
and l certainly trust that your city
fathers, will not act hastily and do
something that they will regret, and
that will 1ff ny opinion, result in
injury to the best interests of one
of the best cities i'll the State and
also to one of the best Fire Depart
ments in the South. I am enclosing
you a copy of the Act Creating the
office of Chief of, the Fire Depart
ment.
Fraternally yours,
JAS. L. MCNEIL, Pres.
N. C. Firemen's Association.
President McNeill has been
volunteer fireman for AZ years, for
27 years State Vice-President and
pears National President of the
Firemen's Association and there
fore he knows fuel well the value of
such man as Mr.. Horney, the fire
departments of Norrh Carolina.
Surely High Point could we'll take
his advice with a great deal Of pro-
fit in every way. 1t is hot the part
of wisdom to be patrison mad at
the expense of our protection as
property owners and citizens who
love our town and its glorious re-
cord. 1t is manly for any man to
acknowledge the wrong (when he
sees iD and right it. We all make
mistakes and when public opinion
is so bitter against the displacement
of Fire Chief Horney, we think it
the best policy to listen to reason.
The fire department of High Point
does not care under the head OF
politics whatever else may be class
ed as such. The very name itself
suggusts independence and non
political afficiation.

On one occasion De Pachmann. the famous pianist. with his nervous and irritable temperament, was summoned to appear before Queen Alexandra at Buckingham palace. He obstinately refused to go His friends labored with him for hours and at last persuaded him not to commit an impertinence which would never be forgiven by the English people.
 Finally he was dispatched in a cab The night wore on to morning. and the frantic wife of the pianist and his friends could learn nothing of what had become of him. At last forlOrn looking cab drove up to the house. and De Pachmann dismounted. On leaving the palace he had forgotten where he lived and could only tell the cabman that it was ill d square with a church in it. So all night long he had been engaged in making round of the innunerable squares of London.

f The piece of rope that connects the United States and Alaska has been cut in two by some small fish and the people of the north can go newsless until the Burnside can come north and make the necessary repairs The break occurred this morning at II o'clock The cable office cannot blame it on the steamer Alameda this time because the break is ill Prince William Sound and the Alameda many miles away.
 The Burnside will be sent to make the necessary repairs some time with in a few weeks. Orders to recall the officers of the ship from their social duties-flirting with the belles of the Northwest coast cNes, have undoubtedly been given. They will inn mediately inspect the ship and find that it needs repairs and must be drydocked This will take few days. and finally the boat will get started, although every man on it knows that he is taking his life in his hand, as did the commander of the submarine "A which went to the bottom of the sea in Honolulu harbor.
 Master Electrician Faust, one of the best cable doctors in the service of Uncle Sam, started to make tests of the break at once and reports that the break occurred about twenty-five miles from Valdez.
 The local cable office will make every effort to continue the service by the use of the two powerful naval stations at Sitka and Whitshed which bridge the break in the line

FIND ST0WAWAY
 IN FREIGHT CARGO
Left In Cargo of Admiral Evans for Eight Days and Is Taken Out
 Almost Dead At Seward.

Leland Farmer slowed away on the steamer Admiral Evans when the boat left Seattle on April 18th, and was not found until the steamer ar rived at Seward eight days later. Farmer had hidden himself in the freight cargo with the aid of one of the crew, to whom he had given five dollars, with the understanding that he was to be brought on deck as soon as the boat was at sea and put to work to earn his passage. The freight, however, was piled about his hiding place and no one came to let him out, and in spite of his efforts to attract attention by pounding on the deck no one heard him. With out water or food, Farmer soon lost consciousness and was found by the crew when the freight was being un- loaded at Seward.
 The stowaway was taken to the Pioneer hospital at Seward and under the care of Dr. Romig was reported as doing nicely with good chance to recover.

THE AUTOMOBILE BACK.
Medical Advice Showing How 1t May
 Be Avoided.

Be Avoided.
 The automobile is coming into such general use that any advice to it's users is of general interest.
 A great many people in cranking their cars strain their back or drop a stitch" and if this is once started 1t usually happens more easily another time. Many people, after riding for any length of time, are tired in the back when they get out If this is kept up the pain or weakness in creases until many times the person is laid up with what is called lumbago or rheumatism. Both of these conditions are commonly due to the wrong way of using the muscles of the back.
 In cranking keep the back straight. like "the oarsman's back" Bend from the hips, snapping the crank over by strengthening at knee and hip. but do not bend at the middle or the waist line.
 In sitting in the car keep the back straight also. Get the hips well back against the back of the seat, and. if the upholstery make the shoulders droop put q robe, cushion, book or anything at the hollow of the back to prevent this. Do not slouch in the seat and do not sit on the lower part of the spine. This reverses the normal curves of the spine and must mean strain. with at times much crippling.- Journal of American Medical Associa-

 The two branches of the legislature have different ideas regarding the best method of raising the necessary funds and cannot come to an agree ment. The session is near it's end and the deadlock must be broken at once or the needed legislation cannot be passed.

CAUGHT BY A POSTAL TRAP.
The "Twopenny Detective" Is oftsn Employed In England.

employed m EH9idno'
 Detectives, lawyers clerks and oth- CTS often experience great difficulty in obtaining an undoubted specimen of I certain persons signature. In one case recourse had to be had to a mar riage register. In another the only signature procurable was on the fly leaf of a book which the suspect had presented to a relative, and only two or three years ago testimonial to sea captain was brought into court, because among the signatures to it was one for which the police had long hunted in vain.
 One of the most common expedients resorted to for overcoming this diff culty is employing the ''twopenny de- tective'-that Is, sending a registered letter to the person whose signature is wanted. And this is frequently successful. Thinking the postal packet contains money or valuables. the ad- dressee unsuspectingly signs the re- ceipt only to discover that inside the envelope there is nothing but "fak- ed" letter.
 This trap once caught an anonymous letter writer-a woman-who, on be- ing interrogated shortly before, had declared that she could not write, and whose friends believed her to be H. literate It was, ill fact, mainly in strumental in getting her six months imprisonment.
 The receipt for registered letter, it should be carefully noted. is not given up to anybody. but can be ob- tained only in certain cases to further the ends of justice.-London Tit-Bits.
