A BIGCHANGE.

Everything works together for
good to them that love the Lord, or
words to this effect. Men who have
been through the south within the
past week or two say they never
saw such change in business. The
primary cause is the price of cotton.
Men who were poking around like
they had just attended funeral are
bright and chippy. Jobbers who had
quit are active and doing business.
One cause is the price of cotton 60
ing up-it is now quoted at 8 cents
is that it is going to Germany and
other countries.-0reensboro Rec

in getting it here. Much credit is due

Dynami,es Bridge.

Werner Van Horn, German, dy-
namited the railway bridge over the
Croix river at Vsnceboro, Maine.
Van Horn was on the Canadian side
when he performed the deed but
later crossed over into this country
where he was captured. He claims
that under war conditions he was
justified while the English~authori-
ties charge him with destruction of
railroad property and ask extradi-
ton so he may face trial. The bridge,
which was used in sending goods
over to the allies, Horn claims, was
only slightly damaged, however.

RESOLUTIONS
Adopted by the City Council in Regular
Meeting Feb. 1st.

Adopted by the City Council in Regular
Meeting Feb. 1st.
Whereas, it is known to this Council
that w. r. Edmonds, who sat as Judge
of our Municipal Court for something
lih two years, when he was forced to
ask leave of absence and go to the dis
tant State of New Mexico for the purpose
of regaining his health did on the 21st
day Of January, 1915, depart this life.
Now, therefore, be it Resolved,
First, That by his demise, High Point
has lost one of its best citizens; a man
who always took the keenest interest in
the welfare and development of his
adopted city; man who had settled
convictions and though he never parad-
ed his opinions, was bold to speak when
there was necessity His conclusions
were sound His was no ordinary mind.
His char acter was as noble. as true and
as firm as the mountains among which
he grew up. W.R Edmonds was a man
in the best sense of that good Anglo
Saxon word.
Second, That as public official he
was faithful, fair, Jealous and judiciOuS.
Though young in years he was wise and
had the best judicial temperament and
mind. The City Council wish to record
their appreciation of his able service as
Judge of the Municipal Court. The citi-
zens of High Point will remember him
for his splendid and in many respects
distinguished services in this capacity.
l. Third, That we deplore the fact that
his life, which seemed so full of prom
,ise. should be cut off so early, at the
same time acknowledging that such is
the dispensation of an omnipotent and
infinite God.
Fourth, That copy of these resolu-
lions be written in our minutes, copy
given our papers for publication and a
copy sent his good wife and family, who
now are in the shadow of great loss.

Woman Suffrage Will be Defeated.

1t now looks like woman suffrage
in North Carolina will be defeated
by both branches of the legislature
as the committees from both houses
have voted against it, and the opin-
ion prevails that the members are
decidedly ants. DR.. Anna Shaw of
national reputation and state leaders
among the fair sex made some fine
talks before the committees and will
renew their figh, on the floor of the
house and senate.

ARRANGE FOR GAME
Army and Navy Officials Formulate
Plans For Football Classic

New York, Feb. 17.-Preliminary
arrangements for the annual gridiron
struggle between the Army and Navy
to be held this year at the Polo Grounds
on November 27, were perfected at a
meeting between committees from West
Point and Annapolis and the National
Exhibition Company, of this city. 1t
was arranged that the local controllers
of the open ampitheatre were to pay
$4,000 to the Army and Navy Relief
Fund for the privilege of staging the
game.
Tickets control formed an argument
for spirited debate and it was finally
agreed that $4,000 seats would be set
aside for the private use of Army and
Navy officials, their friends and the
students at each institution. This block
of seats will be divided equally be-
tween the soldiers and sailors. Also it
was agreed that Army and Navy Of
ficials would be given first opportunity
to purchase seats from the remainder.
AS the local men figure that $4,000
seats will be obtainable on the day of
the game, this will leave 10000 seats
for general sale.
John B. Foster, secretary to the local
company, said that two years ago the
Army-Navy struggle attracted 10000
persons to the Polo Grounds. He stated
that new arrangements have been per-
fected whereby 1000 extra seats can
be put in. With 10000 seats for the
public, it is expected that every one
who cares to see the game can be ac-
commodated. The Army was represented
in the meeting by Colonel Cornelius De
Wilcox, Lieutenant Charles B. Meyer
and Captain Daniel /. Sultan. Lieuten-
ant Commander A. P. Fairfield and Sin
clair Cannon, cared for the Navy in
terests.

Winning a Violin

The way NJ. Ysaye, the great violin
ist, became the owner of Guarnerius
violin dated 1742 was thus quantity
told by himself:
THE Guarnerius was bought in Paris
by a pupil of mine, charming young
woman. | envied her the violin, and
fate gave it to me. I teach this pupil,
and by and by meet her sister, most
lovely young woman, with whom I fall
IN love straightway and marry. Soon I
go to my sisterin-law, who was my
pupil, and say to her:
" 1t is time you stop fooling with
a violin. You will never learn how to
play it. | take the liberty of big
brother, but she do not like it for long
time. AT last she succumb to my ex,
perience and wisdom, and she stops
playing. Then say grandiloquently:
L will take the Guarnerius, 1742.,
l take it, and that is how the violin
came into the possession of Ysaye.n

ing from last years experience and
hesitate about laying out more capital
on the gamble of a successful season in
1915
The club owners are inclined to take
an optimistic view of the situation
They believe that when business men of
the towns, in the circuit realize that il
is near dissolution they will lend fnan
cial aid that will enable the clubs to
continue for at least another year.
Mr.. Graham was able to offer but
little encouragement in his annual re-
port. He said there was no basis for
the belief that the organization would
make money this season, but that he
was perfectly willing to join the club
owners in any step they might decide
TO take
Mr. Graham called attention to the
fact that the only clubs in the league
last year who bore their own financial
burdens were the Harrisburg, Trenton.
Allentown and Reading clubs. The Will
mington and Lancaster franchises were
surrendered by their owners and the
league assumed the responsibilities of
paying the players. Therefore, he point
ed out, there would be only four clubs
in the organization this year should it
be determined TO continue.
The owners who attended the parley,
at which Mr.. Graham held the chair,
were Max S. Erdman, of Allentown;
Mercer B. Tate, of Harrisburg, and Will
liam j. Morris, of Trenton. Graham held
the proxy of John H. Meyers, of Read
