and on them the success of the union

DAVIDSON COUNTY MAN
CELEBRATES 77TH BIRTHDAY

The editor and family spent Sunday at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. David We'll
born, Route 1, Thomasvflle, the occa-
sion being the 18th birthday of Mr..
WelbOrn. Each year Mrs. Welborn sees
to it that proper recognition is made
of the passing of the mile stones on the
highway of life by her husband. The
editors birthday falls on April 26th and
4Ir. Welborn's on April 27th, and for
several years we have been observing
them jointly. AS week days in April are
busy days for the farmer the Sunday
preceding is selected to fittingly cele
brate the occasion. Five years ago Mr..
Welborn was just twice as old as the
editor but since that time we have been
gaining" on him. We always look for
ward to these occasions with much
pleasure because it is one of our de-
lights in life to visit this hospitable
home. No county can boast of better
citizens in every way. A very fine din
ner was waiting our party, although we
arrived past the dinner hour
Mrs. John Welborn, daughter in law,
was on hand and assisted ''Grandma
WelbCTn im the preparation of the din
ner, as well as John Welborn, the son,
and Reitzel, the grandson, all of whom
are devoted to Mr.. and Mrs. Welborn,
Sr. Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Welborn and fam
lily, neighbors, were also present. Grand
pa Welborn took us over the farm and
showed us the crops as we'll as the sheep
and cattle. He, with the assistance Of
his son and grandsons, is expecting to
raise an unusual large crop this year,
following out the patriotic call of the
government to till the soil as never be-
tore. After supper our party began the
Journey home, feeling good over the
pleasant afternoon spent among such
good people.

THE PRIMARY TUESDAY
WAS A TANE AEEA Arm

/ Very little interest was taken in the
primaries here Tuesday and as a result
some startling conditions are presented.
Some whom practically all agreed would
make good councilmen did not bestir
| themselves, at all, while their competi-
tors did, consequently they were lost
in the shuttle" on account of their in
activity and the inactivity or indiffer
ence of their friends and the small vote
cast. The voters should now get busy
at the election Tuesday and try to
"save the day.'' We need the best
available now to. represent this city of
$4,000 people and handle the big prob
lens before us. There is talk of an in
dependent ticket being put in the field,
but whether this can or will be done ia
not positive at this time, although the
time is short.
The vote in the primary was as fol-
lows:
First ward: j. w. Hedrick. 72: DIR
y; L; Burrus, 49; Louis F. Ryan, At;
Charles F. Long, 46.
Third ward: Will E. Snow. At: George
kersey, 46; Chas. G. Muse, 4O;' o. Ar
thur Kirkman, 18; Cyrus V. Cummings,
II.
Fourth ward: DIR. d. A. Stanton. sa.
Chas. B. Embler, So; d. T. Andrews, 81:
DIR. w. j. McAnally, 48.
There was no contest for mayor or
councilmen in the second ward, as only
two candidates were qualified
The first two oouncilmen, named in
each ward are the ones who will make
the race in the election next Tuesday:
j. w. Hedrick and DIR. j. T. Burrus from =
the first; Will E. Snow and George Ker-
sey from the third; DIR. D. A. Stanton
and Charles Embler from the fourth
1t is quite evident that Republican
will be elected in the. fourth ward and
one in the third, with fair chance for
the first and they are also counting on
the mayorship., If this is the result
The Democrats will hae one against the
four.

CLOSE THE DOOR BEFORE THE
HORSE GETS OuTM

"What makes the people of High Point
50 Indifferent to city affairs, when it
comes to an election ?' has been asked
the editor of The Review, and we must
admit that there is entirely too much
indifference, policy of letting the other
man do it. Take the primary of Tues
day, for intance. It was this very pri..
mary that gave to High Point voters
the chance to pick the two best avail
able men from the different wards. Did
they do it? There was only 673 vntes
cast out of more than 1900 voters in
the three wards and the vote was yerv
scattering. The highest vote given anv
candidate was 8S and the next highest
-; thenthe vote fell to 67, 49, etc. Does
This small vote show that High Point
was interested in it's welfare? So MANY
more failed to vote their sentiments.
When High Point was placed in par.
tisan politics the people kicked RIGHT
and left, yet very few would lend their
support in trying to forestall such q
movement. case of locking the door
after the horse was out!
In the return of non -partisan politics
the primary was the natural course for
the wedding out of candidates, so as to
oct the best all-aronnd men to handle
the city's affairs, yet very little interest
was taken in it. Two good men espe-
cially lost out by very few votes. And
the same aftermath is the result-the
people are not satisfied. Whose fault
is it? The peoples, isn't it? We think
so. Some of the candidates did little I
if any work and of course contributed |
to their defeat, while others worked
hard and rolled up the necessary vote, !
less than SO in some instances, but |
enough to receive the nomination. There |
are some capable men up now; there |
are others that were defeated
Are we going to see that the best of |
those now up are elected or are we 90
ing to continue Indifferent? This is a.
great city in many respects with it's
manufacturing and other interests, it's
splendid schools, etc. 1t will take
time, energy, brains and money to run
the municipal affairs. Will we be equal
to the occasion?
The schools alone are big problem
1t will take substantial men and proper
financing to care for them. It's mans
job alone Then there is the street work
Something like a. half million dollars
will be spent in the next two years or
more. We could go on and enumerate
why it will be essential to have good
business men as councilmen, but the
people should understand by now
Cast away this indifference and let's
get down to business. It's too late to
shut the door after the horse is out. The
thing to do is to use the ounce of pre-
vention first. We cannot recall the
past but we can make sure, in way,
the future
