where Are My Children?

This is the subject of the greatest
fve-reel motion picture of its kind
the editor ever saw, and it's coming
to The Broadway Theatre Thursday
and Friday, Oct. 26 and 9th. We
hope every husband and wife es-
pecially will see it and to those who
are inclined to abhor motherhood It
is particularly suited. Even cur
children should know of the bless
inss of lawful motherhood at the
proper age, lest some of them grow
up in ignorance and be swept off of
their feet by the devil in sleeps
clothes. Too often has our seeming
ly modesty kept us from revealing
the great nature truth in a way our
children should understand it and
too often have we paid the price of
a false modesty. We need more
such pictures so the present and
coming generations can see them.
Manager, Wagner of the Broadway
wanted the picture passed upon by
citizens of High Point before book
ing it and be selected as Board of
Censorship Messers. j. T. Burrus,
Geo. A. Nation, w. N. Keener aud
J. P. Rawley of the Enterprise and
w. L Stamey of The Review and
with one accord these gentlemen
pronounced it ereat picture with a
mighty moral force. Said DR.. Bur-
rus nobody but a fool or an igno
rant person would censure such a
great living, moral reproduction Of
every day life"
And this expresses the sentiment
exactly of all present Saturday to
pass upon" Where are My Children" !"

An Evening with Nature
Beautiful Picture Painted
BY an October Sunset

Did you see that beautiful sun
set Sunday evening? If not you
missed a treat; no master artist
could half-ways do itjustice. There
may have been many just as pretty
settings before but we have never
seen them. Colors!-ah, my, what
beautiful assortment so harmoni-
ouslv blending themselves together.
Settings! : magnificent, glorious,
grand! No human hand helped to
fashion the wonderous beauties un-
folded to the e,e-it was the work
OF the great master painter aided
by the angelic hosts picture as
it were of paradise-of the great
and eternal beyond we call heaven.
Here was great city laid off,
stretching across the western hori-
zon with its streets of gold, iRlaid
with pearl. the buildings of sapphires
and rubies, the lakes and rivers of
indescribable blue, the parks and
bOulevards with their beautiful
foliage dyed in heavens prettiest
green while the walk ways were
studded with precious stones. Here
and there could be seen the white
rObed hosts of the redeemed, their
harps of gold, their crowns the col
ors of the rainbow and their wings
dipped in the lakes of gold and sill
yer. Canoes were gliding here and
there along the placid streams of
golden waters, made so by the re-
Election of the mighty October sun
ere it took the evenings departure
to the other side of the world-per-
haps it was the true and faithful
landing their frail barks in the ha-
ven of refuge and rest or to the red
mans happy hunting grounds. Never
such colors displayed in anything,
earthly, the various shades ofred blue
green, yeIlow-ah, what a picture
for the lover of nature to gaze upon!
Surely this was a reflection of the
eternal home where our loved ones
dwell!
The same evening as the moon
came from among the erstWhile gol-
dea clouds and cast a silvery beam
over myriads OF smaller clouds
another beautiful scene greeted the
eye and caused one to lin9er long
over the wonderful nature painting,
enacted on this beautiful October
evening.

BUG JUICE FOR SORES

Jim Manly, white, of Lexington,
drew a six months road sentence in
recorders court last week for hav-
ing in his possession 23 pints of the
forbidden juice of the corn, which
was later poured into the sewer at
the command of the recorder. Manly
claimed that he got the whiskey to
bathe an old sore, this being recon-
mended and decided upon after the
doctors failed to do him any good.

WANT OIL ASPHALT

Citizens of East Washington
street signed petition requesting
that oil asphalt be used instead Of
lake like designated on other streets
of the city as they could see no rea.
son why they should pay 10c yard
more for something considered no
better than the cheaper in price
kind.
In fact we think it would be a
good idea for the city to decide on
oil asphalt altogether and cut out
the worry of trying to use two kinds,
except where it is absolutely nec-
essary to use lake asphalt.
The city and property owners
alike will save by it.

FATHER DEFIES ORDER

But Girl Chooses Husband
and Goes with Him Despite
All Efforts

lot the Sabbath day was broken this
afternoon by the most intense excite.
ment. The trouble began several
days ago when Jack Martin, of the
Fallston neighborhood, ran away
and married the 17-year-old daugh-
ter OF Hill Laekey, of the neighbor-
hood. The father did not allow the
successful elopement to end here
but took immediate possession of
his daughter. To insure her safe
keeping. he rushed her to Virginia.
The groom called upon the law to
aid him in recovery of his young
wife. A habeas corpus proceeding
was begun before Judge Webb. Mr..
Lackey was put under bond to pro-
duce the girl before the court in
Shelby Saturday morning. Mr..
Iackey appeared but the daughter
did not. He was Immediately put
in Jail. Then he wired his daughter
TO come. The judge ruled that when
she appeared she might choose be-
tween husband and father. She
arrived at noon and was taken to
the home of a prominent citizen
Mr.. Lackey was released from jail
and went Immediately to the home
where his daughter was stopping.
In the meantime, more than seven
ty-five citizens from Martins neigh
borhood had gathered in town to see
that he got his young wife. The
crowd was doubled by interested
citizens in Shelby.
ALI repaired to the home when
the young Mrs. Martin was stopping,
but the father had preceded them
and had his daughter in his posses
sion, having pushed her into the
dining room, it is alleged, when
notified of the appearance of Martin,
The crewd cheered Martin and urg-
ed him to get bis wife. The deputy
sheriff was present to see that the.
order of the court was carried out.
but the father was obdurate. He re-
FUSED 10 give up his daughter aud de-
fed the courts order, the officer, the
crowd. The daughter was asked to
make her choice. She replied that
Martin was her husband and that
she wanted to 60 with him. A
followed the effort of the
officer to release the daughter from
the determined grip of the father.
The girl screamed and called for
help. The crowd yelled and for a
few moments a riot was imminent.
The host refused to ullow any one
10 enter save the officer, the hus-
band and the father. Finally the
girl was snatched away from the
father but left her coat and hand
bag in his hands. When the groom
a shout and a cheer went
lp from the crowd. One man was
heard to say: Il have a farm worth
IS, 900 and I'll spend it all to help
you win"
The groom rushed his bride to an
and left for his home.
Further court proceedings will be
watched with interest.
