Informal Gathering Of
Democrats

Pursuant to previous notice some
thing like 800 citizens of High Point
gathered at the armory last evening
to take part in an old fashioned
house warming, as it were. CIGARS
were passed and Wilson buttons dis
tributed. O. E. Mendenhall presid-
ed and introduced Thos. J. Gold
elector at large from the Fifth dis
drlct who took charge of the meet
ing and made avery fine talk as
well as MIR. Mendenhall. Others
called upon and saying few words:
Judge Carter Dalton, Geo. T. Penny.
II. L. Coble. of Greensboro; Mr.. ZeiI :
ler who for the first tim. votes the
democratic ticket; T. w. Albertson.
prosecuting attorney, J. E., Kirkman:
Dr.. W. J. McAnally, Robt. Brockett,
w. q. Brown and q geutleman who
got on the platform and proceeded
to make set speech. His name
was not learned. The speech OF Mr.
Brockett was nicely put, a plea for
united action in State and Nation.
and received great applause. Mes
sers J. E. Kirkman and DIR. w. J.
McAnally hit a responsive chord
more than once. Geo. T. Penny was
just from the north and west and
his observation led him to predict a
Wilson landslide. Chairman Hines
of this county says if High Point
township gives even 100 democrat
ic majority the county will give L.
500 majority for the ticket.
1t was decided to have an old
time torchlight procession the night
of Nov. 9th when Cameron Morrison
speaks here, which will make the
natives sit up and take notice. The
democratic club of this township
now has membership of nearly
500.
Next Wednesday night it is hop
ed to have Victor Bryant and L. L.
Hobbs of Guilford College address
the people. Music was furnished
last might by the Springfield band.

REPllBLICAN'RALLY THURS
DAY NIGHT
Interesting Event Draws Good Crewd---
Asheyille Man Scores Opponents Whom
He Sees Nothing Good In

"a.
L. L. Jenkins, an Asheville banker
was the attraction at the armory
Thursday night and good crowC
greeted him. Mr.. Jenkins is rum
ing for Lieutenant Governor on the
republican ticket. An enthusiastic
audience was present and music en-
livened things.
Mr.. jenkins said that if he was
elected lieutenant governor he would
give his time and brain every day
in the year towards putting the
state government on a sound busi-
ness basis {
He then gave attention to the
Webb-Montcastle report, which de-
clared that if private business was
run like the states bankruptcy
would be inevitable. The report rec
mmended that of states business
men be appointed to put the state
on business basis. This report
recommended that the salary of the
attorney-eeneral be increased so
that he could give all of his time to
the office When Democratic speak
ers heard these things. said Mr..
Jenkins, they "swelled up" and
talked about crime and pestilence
stalking abroad when Republicans
were in power" He thought crime
was here in 1915 but "pestilence
don't stalk now"
The speaker declared with en-
phasis that there is not Democratic
state official whom he would give a.
job in bis bank at Asheville-not
even a janitor's place.
Mr.. jenkins called Max Gardner,
his competitor and read where he
had been introduced as our cover
nor in 1920.'' The speaker CRITICS.
ed Mr:. Gardner for running for
governor just for the sake
of having chance af the governor
ship:
The candidate had heard Mr..
Beckett in Asheville talk two hours
and twenty-five minutes and fail to
state issues while be left
the tariff out of the discussion of
national issues. Cotton is roost-
ing in the tree tops; tobacco is
climbing the mountain peaks; wheat
tangoing with the very stars" is
Mr.. Bickett's way of telling about
this wonderful prosperity
The high cost of living" said Mr..
jenkins, has gone beyond the
Great God of Day. it has passed
over the crystal river and comes be-
fore the Great White Throne, and it
kneels and prays for mercy.
MIR. Jenkins said that the Federal
reserve law "of which we have
heard so much" is a farce if the Re-
publicans do not get hold of it and
change it. He ridculed President
Wilson's labor position, and the farm
loan act and wanted every one to
vote for the republican ticket.

TO GET VOTERS FOR OTHER
STATES?

1t has been charged here that
labor men have been trying to in
duce laborers Of High Point to 60 to
Illinois and other close states in Or
der to help the republican party in
the November election. OF course
there may be work there, the same
as it is all over the country now,
but those who have been nosing
around believe that the motive is
primarily to get votes. This has
been charged by the democrats in
other states also. The factories
here can i'll afford to lose single
man in these days of great prosperl-
ty.

THE GUSHING OF BRILES

Oklahoma was stunned spe2chless
the past week when the powers that
be swooped down upon the city Of
Ada and ousted President Charles
w. Bries from the presidency of he
East Central Normal.
President Brles some months ago
was charged with pernicious politi-
cal activity and was trich on that
charge. Those who i!ed the charges
failed to produce as many as one wit
ness whom the president had sought
TO influence in his vote in any man
ner. The charges fell to the ground,
and there was nothing LEFT for ihe
board except to exonera'e him. This
time, Mr. Briles was approached by
"A mdmber of the board, who told him
to resign When asked for Il reason
he vas informed that he had held the
pif ce long enough, Acting upon the
advice of his attorney and upon the
wishes OF the school and of the citi-
zens of Ada. President Briles declin'
ed to tender his resignation and at
meeting of the board he was dis
missed from the service of the state.
Dismissed for what? For seven
years he has been at work in the
Ada Normal, for seven years he has
been doing as best he can to build
the foundation for a normal school
that would do credit to the people Of
the state who pay the taxes to sup
port the school,
For what was he ousted? There
is one reason-he did not cast his
ballot in the primary election for
Robert l.. Williams. There was no
other reason, That and that alone
lost him the place. That one crime
was sufficient to have the board oust

ton yesterday. he stated that he had

Maiestjc.

"The Two-Edged Sword" which is
shown at the Majestic today, Is re-
markable for many things. The plot
is distinctly novel and one which
holds the attention until the last foot
of film has been run. The cast Is
well balanced-excellent acting and
perfect photography having combin-
ed in the production of a picture par
excellence.
Edith Storey gives her customary
careful Interpretation of an unusually
strong part, the role of Mary Brooks
offering exceptional opportunity for
the display of her peculiar talents.
Miss Storey possesses the happy
trait of being able to portray many
parts and characters of widely dif-
ferent age and attainments with but
slight change in her facial makeup.
A different gown and another twist TO
her hair, and she is somebody else.
In the part of Dorothy Allen, the
pampered and petted wife who i'm
AGNES herself neglected, Miss Joseph
inc Earle scores another triumph in
her usual line. She gets away big
in the vampire role. Many times "a
performer enjoys success with a GER
tain style of part, and suddenly by
the merest chance, reversing to a
type which is its exact antithesis,
goes over jdst twice as big, and
perhaps creates a new screen charac-
terization Miss Earle is perhaps
at her best in the scene where she
shows her envy and jealousy of her
husbands secretary

BEN STEPHENS A CANDIDATE.
Asks for the office Of Commissioner
From Second District.

There has been feeling among
the people of the county for some
time that Ardmore should be repre-
sented on the Board of County Com
missioners. This idea is shared in
the country, as well as in the town.
The country has had every commits
sioner since statehood, and this year
the people will have an opportunity
of selecting a mighty good man from
the city of Ardmore, and that man
is Ben stephens, and he lives in the
second commissioners district, in
which George Evans and A. E. Camp
are now candidates.
Ben stephens is an 'S9-er. He
has lived here long enough to know
every voter in the county by his first
name, and he does, almost. He does
not only know the voters, but they
know him, and there is not man in
the county who does not respect
Ben Stephens for his rugged honesty
and devotion to duty. He is young
enough to be active, and has age
enough to give him judgment and
make him conservative. Ben Steph-
ems has travelled over every COW
trail of the district he seeks to rep
resent. and he knows as much of
the necessities of the district for
roads as any other man could pos
sibly know. He holds the opinion
that the oil field road is important,
but that a road TO the great agrl-
cultural belt of the county Is more
important. Oil may be gone within
a period of so many years, but agri-
culture will stay, and in the last
ANALYSIS the county must depend
most upon the farm wealth for life
and happiness.
Carter county is going to spend
lots of money in the next two or
three years, and if Ben stephens is
elected it can truthfully be said that
he will see that every dollar is
placed in its proper column.
The county commissioner is not
merely road builder. He must hold
the purse of the county, he has much
to do with the efficiency of other
officials. he often sits in judgment
between his neighbors on tax mat
ters. and in these things Ben Steph.
ems would be an ideal commissioner,
He has the executive ability that will
be required to make good officer
and he is asking for chance 10
show that he can and will make good

him in the midst of a school term.
That one crime justified his humilia-
ton. That one crime justified the
board in discouraging every presl-
dent of every normal. 1t means that
as long as the normal schools are
governed as they are that the presl'
dents of these schools must play the
game of politics. They must not be
honest but they must be selfish
enough and shrewd enough to look
into the political situation and pick
the winner and stand for him. If he
makes a mistake, he must resign.
That system puts every school in
politics. That system makes slaves
of men who ought to be independent
in thought. Good teachers and good
politicians scarcely ever go hand IN
hand. The man devoted to the pro
fession of teaching is seldom a good
politician. because his mind is not
trained along that line. He has other
things to absorb his ideas and to
direct his energies. No educational
institution can ever grow important
with frequent changes Of presidents.
After all, personality is the feature
that wins, and when presidents of
normals are changed with each ad-
minstration, great educational insti-
tutions cannot be built.
While teachers are confronted with
principles of this kind they are not
encouraged to devote their lives TO
the profession of teaching. They do
not win upon their merits. They win
upon their ability to select WHINE:
and to vote for him, even if they
have to violate their conscience to
do so.
No good purpose can be served
now in criticising the governor for
having this piece of work done. AL
though it was the brother of the gov
ernor who filed the charges against
President Briles that fell so fiat
when they came to a hearing, al
though II is known that the COVER
nor had the work done, yet there is
no good to come from bitterly crit-
cising him. Politicians control the
parties, and the parties control the
state, and that means that the state
is run by politicians. The people can
do better than criticising politicians
by correcting the errors they have
made. The people support the schools
with their tax money, the people need
these schools for the training OF
their young men and young women,
the schools belong to them, and they
should take them over and manage
them.
A state board of education elected
by the people. and made responsible
to the people, will cure the defect
largely, and the high-handed work
that has been done, and is being
done at this time, will develop some
crusaders in the state who will point
out remedy, and the people are in
a mood now to accept that remedy,
and take their state schools out of
politics.
