Merry Minstrel Maids

For the first time in the history
of High Point we are to have a real
live, up-to date minstrel show and
the caste is composed entirely of
ladies. Could any thing be more in
teresting and funny than to sec
about fifty of our most popular So
ciety matrons and maids each one
in black face and woolv wigs and
doing the funny stunts of a good
minstrel show.
The United Daughters of the con-
federacy are sponsors for the enter
tainment and have secured Miss
Lillian E. Hall who will have charge
of the rehearsals and stage the pro-
duction.
Miss Hall has been working in
Georgia and South Carolina the past
two years and comes with the high
est testimonials. She recently pres
ented her Merry Minstrel Maids at
Concord and it was universally con-
ceded to be away ahead of all former
efforts of the men.
The ladies are rehearsing daily.
and more than enthusiastic over the
progress they are making.
4. The auditorium has been secured
foF next Tuesdays might April oath.
It's the big show of the season, so
don t miss it.

Let's Put Up the Best Avail
able Men Oh Gnard

April 24th is the day of the pri-
mary. Let every citizen take the
right kind of interest in Tue primary
because this is the time for the eli
mination of the surplus candidates
for the election to be held May 9Th.
Let nothing but the highest motives
for the best interests of your city
govern your action. This is your
city and you should make it bet
ter city by placing the best men in
office. A man may be a good. fell
low have lots of friends and still
lack the ability to serve the city as
1t should be served. Too often we
favor this or that friend, when we
feel like it is not the best thing to
do. Let's put none but the best
men over the city's affairs.
There is much to do in this city of
$4,000 inhabitants and it takes cap
able business men to handle the
various matters in the right way.

The Candidates

Messers. W. P. Ragan and Chas.
+. TomlinSon. candidates for mayor,
are both good men, and either would
fill the office of mayor with dignity
and credit to the city. There are
also several good candidates for
City Councilmen and it is we'll to
look them tover carefully and see
just who is better suited for the
four councilmen. High Point needs
strong, able men now more than
ever and we believe the voters are
going to see that this is done. Don't
let campaign thunder swerve you
from your duty to your city.

BABY FOUND DEAD ON PROMNI-
ENT STREET

Thursday afternoon while playing
on English street some boys found
a naked infant which had evidently
been born only short while before.
The child was dead and whe placed
it there is a mystery as we'll as who
is its mother. Does the act hide
some scandal or does it show the
heartlessness of some wretch who
took this method of disposing of this
mite of human being. The child
was not fully matured and had
never been dressed, but withal a
human being. DR.. Walker was call
ed to the case and took charge
while the officers are making inquiry

the child is known. ....s..

The Spirit of Patriotism

The editor was riding to Green's
boro one day last week with his
family and several neighbor children.
Along the route the children began
to sing patriotic songs: America"
Star Spangled Banner" columbia"
Carolina, Dixie, etc. The little
flags of red, white and blue proudly
waved to the breezes and also seem
ed to catch the spirit of patriotism
as the notes from the youthful
throats rang out on the air. my
Country 'Tis of Thee began one lit
tie girl when she was admonished
that it was an act of disloyalty to
sing this song without standing and
after few moments of argument
the five arose and sang the whole
song through without hitch, MY
Country 'Tis of Thee, Sweet Land of
Liberty" oh, what blessed aASur
ance, what great thing to have in
stilled into the hearts of our chill
dren such profound patriotism.
A few minutes afterwards our car
passed a little boy on the roadside,
his eyes were rivited On that little
star spangled banner proudly float
ing to the breezes with the wording
in large letters inscribed thereon:
"AMERICA FIRST. The little fell
low read it quickly, his face brighten.
ed up. He raised his hat and sent
a mighty shout to the heavans.
That little fellow was a true Ameri-
can. In his little heart burned that
pure devotion to his country and its
flag and it was a natural outburst
of that patriotic feeling within when
he saw the magic words: "AMERICA
FIRST" emblazoned on the banner
he loved so well. That little fellow
is of the salt of the earth.
Patriotism, yes teach it every day in
the schools and homes to the children.
Reverence for and devotion to the flag
should be impressed upon the minds
of the youth aRd when war stalks
forth in the land there would be
volunteers without much urging. By
all means keep the fires of patriotism
burning at all times.

Facing Starvation Period

Committeeman A. E. Tate of the
home gardening proposition, says
that the south is facing starvation
period and that if the farmers of the
south don't get busy and plant
every acre possible that want will
stalk through the land. The farmer
has a great patriotic duty to per-
form and if he fails in such time
he is not doing his duty to his coun-
try, which1is just as imperative as
protecting-our country by taking up
arms.

Big Surprise Sprung by
Made. TO Order Board

Another high handed act by the
City Council Tuesday night by NOV
ing up the election of the school
superintendent and principals three
months. These officers are elected
in June and consequently it should
have been the work of the incom-
ing board. 1t was an insult straight
out to take this out of their hands,
but then This Board put in power
by the legislature (and not by a
vote of the people, has done many
things along the same lines and the
people are not surprised. In justice
to Councilman Terry be it said that
he fought the measure alone. Coun-
Gilman Smith was not present, con-
seQuently Councilman Alexander
and Davis and Mayor Pickett did
the trick.
There is no argument as to the
fitness of any chosen, they may
have all been reelected by the in
coming board (they are capable
men) but the whole thing hinges ON
the appropriated authority.
Councilman Terry filed his objec
tiORs and also stated that the City
said the act was illegal and
it is believed the action of the re-
firing board will be revoked by the
incoming board, as it should be.
The school officers were given a
raise in salary, as well as five mem ;
bers of the fire department.
We believe that Councilman Terry
has stood for the right as he saw
it in all matters coming before the
Board. He is courageous and re-
fuses to be led by the halter. A
former popular councilman told the
editor this morning that he would
rather serve with Bob Terry on the
Board than any man he knew of
and this gentleman has served the
city something like ten years.

CRACK SHOT IN DARK
Captain Hardy Puts on Night Per-
foTmances at Big Free Fair.

Captain Hardy's shooting acJ

Thursday night from the packed
grand stand at the fair. Shooting
with the aid of an automatic spotlight
he broke six consecutive CLAY targets
with as many shots at a distance OF
thirty-five yards using a 3S-ca1iber
revolver.
If all soldiers who line IN rattle
array could handle firearms as Cap
tain Hardy does there would be little
use for machine guns and kaiser
Bills too, would soon run short of
men. Captain Hardy's spectacular
work was seen atthe fair grounds to-
day for the last time, as he departs
for his home in Denver tonight.
Captain Hardy is one of twc men
in the United States able t. handle
a shotgun, rifle or revolver with
equal deXterity. He has won many
medals for trap shooting. In 1913 his

STRIKE PINCHES CITY
Committee From Springfield, ILL.,, I'm
ion CoRferc With Governor.

Springfield. ILL.,. Sept. 14.-Spring-
field today began to feel the pinch of
the general strike called in sympathy
with sixty striking car men anu as
protest against the stopping of the
labor demonstration last Sunday.
With walkout of all retail clerks
in grocery, dry goods and department
stores, the grand total of strikers
reached 10000.
Grocery stores, working short
handed, endeavored to supply the de-
mands of their customers but were
only partially successful. With the
return of warm weather the lack of
ice is being felt and ii the warm
weather continues real suffering par
ticularly among babies and at the
hospitals will result.
Springfield citizens conferred their
hopes for a settlement of the trouble
on a meeting today between the strike
( committee and Governor Lowden. The
committee is meeting with executive
ostensibly to protest against the stop
ping of the parade, but really for the
purpose of attempting to force recog-
milton of the car mems union.
The car men have protested against
Governor Lowdens insinuation that
the trouble is caused by disloyal citi-
zens among the labor unions.

TAKES A HARD JOB
Gilmur DObie Is the New Navy
Football Coach.
Famous Coast Mentor Will Try
His Hand in East.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, Sept. 14.-Gilmour Do
bic, the football wizard of the far
northwest, has invaded eastern foot
ball ranks as head coach of the Naval
academy eleven at Annapolis.
His fame as a gridiron mentor is
known the country over, and his adj
vent into eastern football will be
watched with interest, for his ability
as a coach will be compared with
that of the foremost coaches along
the Atlantic seaboards and he will be
kept IN the spotlight for a time at
least.
In thirteen years as a football
coach. eight of which he spent at the
University of Washington. Dobie's
football teams swept all opposition
aside and played in but few games
where the score resulted in a tie.
Left w. U. Last Fail.
Dobie left Washington last Fall af-
ter Il strike on the part of his foot
ball players. but the main reason for
his leaving. it is said was his belief
that he had been connected with the
Washington school too long.
He came east and signed as head
