HIGH POINT PEOPLE IN AUTO
ACCIDENT

A deplorable automobile accident
occurred Sunday afternoon at ..
m., in which Mrs. John III. Shaw OF
this city sustained painful bruises
aud cuts about the knees and three
men occupants of the machine were
rather severely shaken up when the
automobile in which the party was
travelling struck the embankment
on the curve at Armfeld's S store, six
miles from Greensboro. The acci-
dent occurred on one of those curves
on the Greensboro-Hieh Point high
way which is none too Wellembank-
ed and is said to have caused from
one of two things; either trying to
take the curve while travelling at an
excessive rate of speed or else as q
result of An accident to the steering
GEAR.
Mrs. Shaw was brought to High
Point TO, have the bruises and cate
treated. 1T was at first reported
that she had suffered a broken lee
but a more thorough examination
later on showed that her injuries
were not as serious as was at first
reported. Mr.. Shaw was in the ma
chine and he, like the other two oc-
cupants, suffered but a severe shak-
ing
The machine struck the embank-
ment with considerable force but
was not overturned and this fortu-
nate circumstance served to prevent
all the occupants from being more
seriously injured. Mrs. Shaw is said
to have been in the front seat with
the driver and it is probable that
the force with which she was thrown
against the board in front was what
inflicted her wounds. There were
a number of machines on the high
way and assistance was rendered
the persons in the accident. DR.. S.
S. Coe was summoned and the party
remained at the scene of the acci-
dent until help arrived. The car
driven was a light five passenger
Saxon touring car and the fact that
it was not overturned is looked upon
by motorists as remarkable. How
ever the car was badly damaged.
Those in the car were Mr.. and
Mrs. j. H. Shaw; E~A. Patterson,
Miss Carrie Campbell and Jimmie
Sneed.

w. L. RHYME ARRESTED

Chief of Police Gray returned from
Charlotte Sunday morning having
in custody w. L. Rhyme, a young
white man, charged with passing a
worthless check and with dispOsine
of mortgaged property. He formerly
conducted a clothes pressing estab-
lishment in this city and the fur
nishings of the club were purchased
from local dealers, mortgages being
given to insure payment. He dis
posed of this property, valued at
about $50, and when the merchants
cot on his trail and talked of having

have given a check for 81 to the
proprietor of a local restaurant aud
to have used this money in getting
away from the city.
He was apprehended recently
near Mt. Holly, twelve miles above
Charlotte, and Saturday was
brought to Charlotte to await the
arrival of a High Point officer.

VITALITY INTERESTED IN OUT
COME,

High Point manufacturers were in
tensely interested in the strike situ-
alton for there is no industry that
would be hit harder by railroad
strike than the furniture and allied
industries here. In fact should the
freight trains fail to move regularly
there would be such CONGESTION in
two or three weeks that the factories
would be forced to close down and
consequently thousands of hands
would be idle. The storage capacity
at the factories is not sufficient to
hold the output of each factory
more than 80 days at must. A
strike would also materially affect
the food situation.

The first week in April is the week
adopted by most of the towns and
cities, during which time every yard
apd alley should be given a thor
odgh cleaning. By cleaning thor
oughly and well the pesky fly can
be checked considerably. The city
makes provision for hauling off the
rubbish. Last year a<small fee was
charged, but the city can well
afford to do the work without cost
Intact the taxpayers should not
bcscalled upon to foot the bill for
every little thing, especially that
which concerns the city's health.
/ Flowers should be planted in tie
[hQaks and corners TO beautify the
places. ;Cannas are a quick and
hardy growth and will add much to
the attraction of the surroundings
and they are inexpensive. If the
people will plant flowers to beautify
the unsishtly places they will be
doing a great thing for their homes

that will help you in these days OF

What in the thunder is a man going
to do anyway? The law says that
every able-bodied man must have some
visible means of support; in other
words he must work for a living. IL
he does not, he becomes aAmendable
20 the law and can be fined and pun
ished for vagrancy-for failure to earn
q living. This is a just law, and every
year thousands of shiftless beings pay
the penalty. while many more thous
ands escape punishment. BY cold in
difference on the part OF shiftless Off
sials, entirely too many escape from
the net of the law. The law pre-
scribes certains things We can do, and
1orbids other things. II is very un-
usual thing, however for a man to be
arrested and fined for working. But
sometimes the laws says Stop" to
the laboring man and stern justice
will demand a part, or all of his hard
earned money, for working too much
or too hard-or rather the infraction
of some man-made law.
Some time ago, Harry Weinstein, a
Louisville barber, was fined $50 and
costs in that city for working too
much Weinstein was doing thirty
ing Sunday business, and was arrest
ed on the charge of violating the Sun
day closing law. When arraigned in
Police Court he made the plea he 90
served Saturday as his Sabbath, and
Judge Boldrick took the cause under
advertisement. At the final hearing
1T is stated, Weinstein could not prove
he belonged to any religious sect that
observed any other day of the wees
except Sunday; and it was also proven
that Barber Weinstein did not regard
any day too sacred to work when 4
man needed shave and had the price
Consequently he was fined so ana
given the trimmings.
