The ''Professional" Dead Beat

From our view point one of the
most despical and meanest creatures
that stalks the streets of any town
or city is what is known as the pro-
fessional dead beat who like the
buzzard that fattens off of the car
cases of dead animals, makes it
point to fatten himself at the ex-
pense of his fellowman. AS a rule
these dead beats are too lazy to
work and hang around places of
idleness when they could be at work
trying to make an honest living SO
/ that they could pay their debts:
There are several in High Point,
some who could pay and won't,
others who haven't enough grey
matter to support themselves much
less aifamily, while still others are
hardly able to pay but that doesn't
keep them from going into debt We
will have compassion on the latter
class and even pass up the second
class and pay our attention to the
first class, those who are able to
pay their just debts and won't. we
have in mind now five particular
citizens of this city who are among
the king of dead beats. So ne OF
them owe the newspaper for adver-
Using and subscriptions, about all
of them owe the shoe man, the
clothing man, the groceryman, and
the landlord, and yet strange to say,
these very dead beats are able
to get more credit Though one ruse
and another. It's a pity the Eades-
men can't stand together am run
to cover such .parasltes. prth
Carolina should pass a law sid lar
to the one in vogue in Virginia that
puts a man in limbo if he makes az
much as 5000 a month and does
not pay his bills. Of course this
wouldn't cover every case hut it
would reach the man who can pay
and won't. Fortunately we have a
law that puts a man to the bad who
owes for board and does not pay
the law is able to reach him no
matter what be state or section ne
mierates to; hen why not protec the
eroceryman who furnishes tie gro
ciers for the landlady who is able
to collect hers from the tardy boarder'

 Thursday-Of course, Alice's wedding was exquisite, and she was the most beautiful thing I ever saw. I don't think I can quite forget her radiantly lovely face and her gown and veil. All formed such a picture, with the beau tiful dresses of the guests as a color ful background. She has such a sweet dignity about her that gives added charm to her sweetness. There were only three attendants-just Mary Jones Brantley as matron of honor, and then Katherine and Anita, Alice's sisters as maids. All of them looked so perfectly beautiful and composed, really far more composed than I was
