S. G. Clark, of High Point, was award
ed first prize for having the -prettiest
decorated car in the automobile parade at
Greensboro yesterday morning; opening
the Guilford county good roads celebra-
! tion. This news will cause no great; sur
prise to High Point peple who saw Mr..
Clark's ear Wednesday morning when the
parade left here to meet the Greensboro
parade at Cobb's farm. The comment
.on the streets as the parade passed out
>of the city was to the effect that if
any of the Greensboro cars won first
prize from Steve Clark they would have
to go far ways and then some.
Mr.. Clark's car was entirely covered
with white roses, a trellis had been
erected over the main body from which
was suspended lilac wisteria.
Shortly after 10 O'Clock Wednesday
morning the High Point section of good
roads day parade started from the South
Main street school building, led by Chief
Marshal J. w. Harris in handsomely
decorated car. There were upwards of
a hundred automobiles in the line, some
elegantly decorated, some not quite SO
much SO, and some without any decora
tions. The line proceeded up Main street
to Richardson, then out Richardson and
on to Greensboro. 1t was said that only
about half of the High Point >automo-
biles at the celebration participated in
the parade, many going on ahead, and
others leaving here at a later hour.
There wereasix very pretty decorated
automobiles in, the parade yesterday but
Steve sClark's beat them all. Mrs. J. w.
Harris Of this city also won one of the
prizes

-. C;c Council Iruus-
acb Important Biz

The city cotfncil held a busy meeting
matters disposed of were the election of
Anderson and Christie, civil engineers of
ETUesf sneng these napcrtant
Charlot to have charge of the perma-
netn Improvement work authorized by
the recent bond election; granting much
needed relief to the residents along
West Greene street, who have for SO
long suffered because of bad streets;
and making other preparations for the
beginning at once of the general pro-
gram for bettering High Point streets.
The first matter of business was
the hearing of a petition of West
Greene street citizens asking that
something be done to give them better
outlet 1t was declared that because IF
the antaeonism to the bond issue it was
impossible to get a ma jority of the
pI opel ty owners on that street TO sign
petition asking for permanent i'm
provement, therefore the petitioners
prayed that the city council give them
such relief as it could under the circ,.ln-
stances. They asked that certain grades
be lowered at Bradner's store and west
of that place; that sand clay or maca
dam paving be laid from the G. and Y.
r station to the end of the street; and
that certain, curbing and sidewalk be
ordered placed, =.
After tsome little discussion of con-
ditions in that section of the city,
the council voted to begin work imme-
diaely on the portion of the street be-
yond Bradner's store, and promised to
decide within 80 days whether macadam
or sandclay would be put down on the
street east Of Bradner's to the G. and
Y. r. station. The reason given for
this delay was in order to see whether
the macadam to be taken up on Main
street for the new pavement could be
utilized in making improvements on
West Greene The council also went OF,
record IN favor of putting down certain
curbing and sidewalk in that section.
Superintendent Marr, of the city
schools announced the. designations of
Miss Wall, teacher at Elm street school,
and Miss Council at the Park street
school, He then recommended Mrs. r.
P. Chappelle as Miss Wallis successor,
and Miss Clarice Newlin to take the
place of Miss Council. The councilmen
elected those teachers in accordance with
Prof. Marr's recommendations.
Professor Marr then asked for an ap-
nropriation of sum not to exceed 5000
to buy equipment for the manual train
ing department i'm the high school; he
also asked authority to-employ teacher
for the department. The counclimen
were inclined to discuss whethre the de-
partment. could be equipped and made
ready. for work. before Christmas, but 1t
finally voted the appropriation and
granted the superint ntendent power to se-
lect the teacher. .,

The Only Reigning Queen.

The Queen of the Netherlands, as Will
helmina, Queen of Holland, is commonly
called, is one of the most interesting
women in the world. She is also the
only woman who is a reigning sovereign,
and has been such since her tenth year,
in 1890, upon the death of her father,
the former king.
She was the only child, therefore her
education had to be particularly broad
and comprehensive. The system adopted
was naturally a methodical one and Sc
we're. The different professors engaged
to instruct the little queen on special
subjects were experts in their chosen
fields, apd Wilhelmina proved to<be not
a brilliant student at all, but one of
those steady plodders who get there all
over, as small boy would say. The
great idea in systematizing the course
of study of the queen was that the
greatest possible amount of work should
be accomplished within the smallest
space of time. ~
The queens first official public ap-.
pearance was at Amsterdam, when she
was but 10 years old The country
round was wild with excitement, and
great preparations were made by the
people to render meek homage to their
queen, to the two lqIssens, in fact, for
Queen Emma was reigning sovereign DUR
ing the minority of little w Wi1helmina.

DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS
LAUNCH BIG DRIVE TO CAP
TURE VOTES SEPT. II.

GAS goes Maine so goes the I'M
ion," is the cry of the political proph-
cts, and with the nation on the eve
of a presidential campaign the re-
suits of the Maine elections on Sept.
II are being eagerly awaited. His
tory, however, would merely repeat
itself if a majority of Names votes
should be cast for the candidates of
one political party in the coming cleo
ton and for the candidates of the
opposition party in November. This
very thing occurred four years ago,
when Maine elected republican gov
ernor in September and returned a
plurality for Woodrow Wilson in No
vember.
Maine is normally a republican
state, and when it goes republican
merely follows its natural bent.
Hence the normal effect throughout
the country from republican VIC
tory here would be practically neg
ligible.
Nor is Maine ordinarily a pivotal
state in presidential elections. Demo-
cratic candidates for president get
their strength elsewhere.
Watch September Election.
But democratic victory on Sept.
II, in the opinion of most people,
to the republicans would be tanta-
mount to the handwriting on the
wall. 1t would have a disastrous eff
feet throughout the country, espe-
cially in doubtful states essential to
republican success.
1t is the common judgment among
the politicians here that it would be
more felt beyond than within the
state, for leaders on both the demo-
cratic and republican sides are not
regarding it as out of the question
that a democratic victory on Sept.
II may be followed by a Hughes
victory in the state two months later.
1t is on account of their uneasiness
over the outcome of the September
elections and with full recognition
of the consequences of a republi-
can defeat then that the republi-
cans are preparing for a tremendous
drive and planning to unlimber all
their heavy artillery for the Maine
battle. 1t is for the same reason
the democrats are preparing for such
stubborn defense of the territory
so recently wrung from the republi-
cans.
AS a result Maine is witnessing a
campaign such as it never has wit
messed before, with some 299 spell
binders, great and small, in action
all the time. Even Hughes and
Roosevelt are to appear before the
Maine public before election day

Hon. C. R. Crisp, Americas, Ga
Dear Sir: The receipt of your cam
paign note, paraded under the name
of "a challenge to debate" is hereby
acknowledged.
Since you have failed to introduce
any issues into the campaign when
involve matters of interest to the
public / fail to see in what way a
joint debate would be OF interest to
the people of the Third district.
Referring particularly to that part
of your letter in which you express
your determination to discuss my
record, will say: My record was
made and all the facts were well
known to you when in March. 1912.
you hailed me as a friend and I'M
qualifedly endorsed me for govern
or. If then, with all the facts fresh
before you, you could act as unman-
ly as to address me as follows:
March Is, 1912.-Hon. T. G.
Hudson, Capitol, Atlanta, Ga.xDear
Tom:
hasten to write to you to express
my profound thanks and to assure
you that l am for you for governor,
and l stand ready to do all in my
power for you, and have so written
friends since your announcement.
at is hardly necessary for me to
saw herein that while | thought you
would be against me, as candidate,
that | never said one unkind word
about you, but always said you were
my friend.
"Of course I do not want you to
do anything to hurt yourself, but l
will be most grateful to you if you
will work for me as you only know
how. Your friend,
CHARLES R. CRISP"
While entertaining the opinion
that you have recently expressed in
regard to my official record l do not
care to discuss records with you. l
cannot and will not debate character,
reputation or service with any man
who, by his own act, admits lack of
truth and candor in his speaking.
l am not willing, at this time, to
abandon the good opinion have
formed of you during past years of
personal acquaintance-which | have
considered years of friendship. l
am sure your recent malicious dis
tortion of facts regarding my record
is but the rawlings of defeated pol
itician.
If, as congressman, you really de-
sire to be of service to your people L
suggest that you devote your oratory
and offer your counsel to aid the adj
ministration in the present extraor-
binary crisis which threatens the ma
TONS welfare should the general
threatened railroad strike material
ize.
If YOU fear my campaign talks are
hurtful to your candidacy | hereby
agree to cancel all further campaign
talks, on my part, provided you go
to Washington, to your post OF duty;
and render the people who honored
YOU with their support the service to
which they elected you, and for
whihc you are drawing your pay.
Respectfully yours, .
