A GOOD FRIEND

A good friend stands by you when

Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the
test. Mrs. Atkins endorsed Doan' s

more convincing testimony?
Mrs. R. B. Atkins, 500 Willow
brook ST., High Point, says: Il re-
gret that | did not use Doan's Kid
ney Pills sooner, as l wonld have
been spared a great deal of suffering
and expense. A few boxes of this
medicine restored my kidneys to a
normal condition and relieved the
backache and headaches | had.
OVER THREE YEARS LATER,
Mrs. Atkins said: # am glad to con-
firm my former statement praising

AMERICA WILL AWAKE!

. America will awake to the. stern
task before her. She will break the
bonds OF sloth and dull indifference,
and, with the soul of Lincoln in her
eyes, dare to be great and wise; dare
to be valiant, with the valor still
thatechoes from the crest of Bunker
Hill, that ydlor that gave Grant and
lee, their flames after the battle
fame. the valof that has given US
all body, and heart and soul!
Yes America will be as one in
her old love of liberty; she will re-
member naught of party and creed
in her hour of need; but one in spirit,
one in high accord, her people await
the final word that bids them strike
for justice.

call an extra session of court that
day to try the negro if the mob
would disperse. One fellow yelled

THE MAN OF ENDURANCE

President Wilson seems to he in
dulging himself in an unwonted lux
ury-a three days VACATION. He is
at least enjoying a brief absence
from the daily routine at Washing
ton, but there is a wireless at his eI
bow and it is doubtful if his outinL
might be called an outing in fact.
There is no escape for him from the
cares of state at this time. When,
since the day he was first inaugu-
rated, has President Wilson known
an hours freedom from cares, such
as have helped few Presidents ?
And yet.he knows no visible trace of
physical breakdown. He undertook
to slip through New York on this
pleasure trip. but was interrupted,
as a matter of course, by the news
paper man. A reporter for the Post
says the few people who saw the
President commented on the fact
that he appeared to be in robust
health and looked to be more phys
icaAy fit than they had seen him
appear in years." The more vigor-
ous the test that are applied to the
President the more he seems to
thrive under them, both physically
and mentally. The future may pro-
duce a man who will parallel with
him. The past has failed to do so.

DOings. Of the City Council
Tuesday.nigkt's session was an
important one, especially from a
financial standpoint. Thesmatter Of
accepting or rejecting bids for the
$33O.00O bond issue came up for
consideration.
PART OF BONDS SOLD B.
The $50 900 issue of the amount
at par with a premium of $11 70
from the Provident Savings and
Trust Co. of Philadelphia, was &C.
cepted. Then various concerns
made offers through their represent
atives present for the remainder but
none of the bids were at par, hence
all were rejected as the bonds must
bring par. The matter of further
bids will be left open for a few days
before again advertising them, the
law allowing private bids for the
remainder.
Wednesday another lot of $4,000
was disposed of at par and accrued
interest.
ASKS FOR PROTECTION
T. w. Albertson came before the
board asking for relief on Best st.
from an overflow of water from va
rious streets which coDgregated at a
point near the j. M.-Brown home
and caused the people to wade
through 1.-THE water was also wash
ing away Mr.. AIbertson's lot. The
city manager was requested to an
vestigate the matter at once.
WANTS DAMAGES
w. A. Jester asked for 5000 dam
ages done his automobile and fam
lily from the automobile striking a
stump in Snow Park, alleged to be
carelessness on the part of the city.
Matter deferred until it could be as
certained if the city owns said street,
cause of accident, etc.
CALLING FOR JUICE
A committee from Wise street was
present asking for Juice or in
other words, electricity. The spokes-
man was asked to get signers 10 see
just who would use the current and
city manager instructed to- 4etesti-
mates as to cost of wiring said

00L MATTERS : -
Supt. sMaTr arose IN behalf of the
schools. Hestated that there were
now 1000 white children at desk
and $50 at Main Street school alone
and expected over 1000 shortly. At
present there are over $50 more
children in school than last year
and this necessitated an extra teach
er which he was given the liberty to
secure.
STREET DESIRED OPENED
The coIored population of Val
street was represented by one of
their leaders who very fervently
asked the honorable mayor and
councilmen to open up their street
and that the negroes in that section
would give a days work free on the
street. The mayor said the matter
would have the attention of the city
manager and engineer at once.
FOR A FIRE TRUCK
A representative of the American
La France fire truck was present
aud explained the various qualities
of his fire engine. 1t was one of the
best made, with 75O-gallOn chemi-
cal tank and the price was So, $50
f. O. b. High Point and thoroughly
guaranteed. At this juncture the
mayor advised the gentleman that
according to the city charter an ad-
vertisement would have to be run
for 10 days asking for bids and at
the end of that time the cOnsidera-
ton due would be given. The La
France concern made an offer for
the old Seagraves truck which was
under $1,000.

TO IMPROVE STREET

CITY Engineer Taplln had a dia-
gram of the proposed improvements
to Richardson street whereby the
dangerous cross section of Steele
and Richardson streets would be
eliminated by making curve on
Rich .rdson street by the old Burns
saw mill place and entering Steele,
leading to the cemetery, farther
north. This will give pretty trian-
gle plat at the intersection of Rich
ardson and Steele streets which can
be plotted and beautified by the
Civic League. A. E. Tate previously
promised to donate the land to the
city required for the improvements.
The city engineer was instructed to
proceed with the work after the
proper title was secured for the city.
TO CUT DOWN FORCE
Manager Murphy brought up the
matter of dispensing with one officer
during the winter months as three
extra men had been added this year.
There will not be as much sanitary
work to look after now, and it was
thought that one patrolman could
be dropped. The proposition met
with the approval of the board and
Manager Murphy was instructed to
take the matter in hand.
