FINE MEETING OF THE
@ a. VETERANS SATURDAY

= One@of the very best meetings yet oc-
Cured Saturday and large crowd was
present. Commander Tom Wood pre-
sided. Those who attended the Central
Carolina fair at Greensboro were full
of it, and gave good accounts, dwelling
mostly on Gen. Julian Carr's speech.
1t was fine They all love him. To see
an old gray haired man forsake the
sights and races and spend his time with
the Vets-walking with his arms about
them, talking with tears in his eyes
means something to them. Gen. Carr
said he travelled 1000 miles to come and
talk to us, which was proof of his love
for the Confederate veteran. ''Uncle" Tom
presented Miss Paylor with large steel
engraving of Gen. Robert E. Lee, with
the understanding that it is to hang at
veteran headquarters as long as she is
sponsor. 1t was put this way because
he wants to be sure the picture is always
cared for, as it was the property for
many years of Prof. Gannaway of Trim
ity (old) College, teacher of Mise Pay
lor's father when he was at college
before the war. "Uncle' Toms speech
about Lee was a great effort. l have
never heard anything here that could
compare with it. You know he knew
him so we'll.
George Wood sent large picture and
Will Gurley sent picture. Other gifts
collected and presented were: Red
clay pipes from Winston Grain Co.;
chewing tobacco from Brown and Will
hanson, Winston; box fine cigars from
John Rees, Greensboro; crate cold
drinks, assorted favors, from an un-
known friend whose father was in the
battle of Gettysburg; four gallons hot
coffee and coffee can from Brown and
Wagner; sugar, Hunter Sechrest; Gin
namon buns, Miss Paylor; cream, the
Candy Kitchen. Mesdames A. p. Tate
| and Bascom Hoskins, assisted Miss Pay
lor The sponsor read several letters
! from fellow comrades of other camps
and an interesting one from Col. ID. H.
Milton, superintendent of the Soldiers
home. Colonel Milton is associate mem
her of the camp and his4welfare and that
I Of the camp IS closely linked together
It was "a great pleasure to the camp to
have as an honored guest, Miss Mary
Powell, of Tarboro, the newly elected
corresponding secretary of the NORTH
Carolina Division of the United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy. Miss Powell
brought the message to the camp thai
the new administration would always
hold them in their hearts and stano
!, ready to serve them at any and al
| times.

High Point, ~ L.,#7hu,,aay, Octobev z9 1915

town, which is now experiencing great
forward strides in the way Of municipal
improvements. The town is literally cut
up to provide good streets, improved
water, sewerage and lighting system.
And doubtless Editor Bivins with his
tEnterprise has played big part in this
forward step-in fact, we know he has.
While at Albemarle we visited the Car
ter home, nephew of the writer, Joe
Hoffman, married Miss Lilly Carter of
that city. Mr.. Hoffman expects to re-
turn to High Point soon and engage in
the drug store business. We tried to
find our boyhood friends, the Messrs.
Bivins, but they were at church, fol-
lowing in the footsteps Of their sainted
father and mother, warm personal
friends of our family.
The trip to Badin opened our eyes.
Never had we dreamed that such gi-
gantic undertaking was being rapidly
developed in good old North Carolina.
We are not going to attempt description
because those more familiar with facts
and figures may take us to task but
general analysis will suffice. Here are
practically 1000 people working on
dam, factory, buildings, etc. Scores of
railroad engines pulling heavy loaded
cars every minute in the day, huge der
ricks carrying tons of rock, cement, sand
and iron to construct the big dam,
standing some 25O feet high, 267 feet
at the base, 80 feet wide at the top and
over 5000 feet wide. These figures may
not be exactly right but are approx
mately so being given as by an en-
ployee. It is a very steep descent from
the top of the hill down to the base at
the narrows. Two tunnels have been
cut in the hills of solid rock and the
course of the river diverted through
these giant openings, most of the ma
chinery and railroad tracks cover the old
course of the river. 1t is great piece
of engineering ability and goes to show
what can be accomplished in this coun:
try and more particularly in our beloved
state.
But enough for this trip. We ar
rived home shortly before o'clock
tired but the wiser and happier for oul
trip.
Mr.. and Mrs, ]. Z. Kirkmaa "a sisterf
Mrs. Stamey and four children were II
the party.

WANTS $4,000 TO EXTEND THE
ROAD

Bird S Coler wants High Point town
ship to revote an issue of bonds to the
amount of $25, 800 for the extension OF
the Carolina and Yadkin River railway
to Troy or Mt. Gilead, where it will
connect with the Norfolk Southern. On
October 8, 1912, a $4,000 bond issue
was voted for this purpose, one-halt
payable when the road reached High
Rock. the other half when connection
was made with trunk line. January
l. 1915, was the limit to make this con-
nection, and as the time has passed the
s25 600 is not available under the terms,
hence the re-vote is asked for-the rail-
road would then only be getting what
was once voted it. The Commercial
club has appointed committee to see
the county commissioners and have the
election called.

if YOU believe in the laws Of nature
and the commandment which says "Thou

petuation of the human race and the
solemn vows of the marriage altar, see
it; in fact, all good women, single and

that you can get off.

The Herald Poll and California

congratulate you upon your en-
terprise in being the only newspaper
in this state (probably the only one
in the south) tc have today the
New York Herald's summary of its
nationwide presidential canvass.
There is one thing about the
Herald's figures that will mislead
those who do not, examine them
closely. 1t is this: While the votes
taken in the nation show 54 8O4 for
Hughes and 49,878 for Wilson
Hughes gets plurality of 5,69l in
California, not doubtful state. De-
duct this and Wilson's vote is
larger in the really doubtful states.
4 careful analysis of the forecast,
coupled with the statemtnt that
Wilson is gaining and Hughes is
losing ground, makes the forecast
all Democrats could hope for or ex-
pect.-Charles A. Hines, in Green's

HELPFUL KIND
NESS
Written for The Review.)

Without the presence of need
there could be no place for helpful
ness. Without the need of human
association there could be no re a
claim for its existence In the or
9anization of the human family
each member is made dependent in
a large measure, one upon another
for physical comforts and growth
into a higher intellectual and spirit
ual life and a fuller enjoyment of
existence. 1t is reciprocal rela-
ton each drawing strength and sus-
tenance from the other.
AS long as people live in this
world-people with the same pas
sions and weaknesses-there will be
need of human kindness. There lis
not a person living who can so en-
tirely separate himself from his fel-
low beings, that he will not eat
sometime, feel the need of a help
full lift over some difficult place,
some kindly word of encourage
ment to. cheer onward to greater
efforts, or of sympathy in some
darkened hour OF sorrow. Our
human interests are so closely unit
ed, our comforts and pleasures are
so finely interviewer we are made
to feel onr dependence on the
thoughtful care of others and to
realize the value of human kindness
to us through all the years of our
life.
Helpful kindness is always accept
able and i'm order. 1t does not give
offense or wound the feelings. 1t
never grows out of date or goes out
of fashion 1t is becoming to all
ages and to all classes. 1t makes
beautiful the plainest features and
throws a halo of Divine love around
the doer. giving to life a bit of haven
1t is gentle, considerate and has but
one object, to be of help.

MONEY AT HIS FINGER TIPS
Scores Of Men Borrowed From William

No man in this city ever kept so
much real money at his finger tips as
did Mr.. Weightman, a writer In the

Scores Of men borrowed money from
him as they would from bank, and 1t
was his custom to give them cash and
not a check.

"Ws often had occasion TO borrow

our story quietly and patiently would
reach around to one Of his many fire.
