just how a diplomatic break with
Germany can be avoided. r.
The best thing for the United
States to do. it would seem, is to
simply stop commerce and travel
and stay strictly at home. We can
live and prosper independent, of any
other country and the sooner we
learn to live entirely on our resources
the better. This plan would cause
the high prices to tumble down
wards. We are now paying a 100
Per cent tribute on account Of the
war in high prices.

UenOla Man Claims He Was
Robbed Of Nearly $500.
supposed ''Rickpockets'' Held up Here
Dot lhey were Travelling SaIesmen
-"-NOge Of Money Found


=, N. G. Mcdowell, a citizen of Glen
ola' near this city, claims~he wa.
rellved of $19S.OO at the station in
greensboro Monday q little aftel
the noon hour. 1t seems that Mes.
sers. Grover G. Murray, of Maiden
and B. T. Sustare of Hickory, rep.
resentatives of Armour Fertilizer
Co. of Greensboro, were fixing to
board the train Monday at noon af.
ter visit to the factory there. Mr.
Murray was given the mileage to
get the tickets and Mr.. Sustare set
tied the hotel bill, as they were
pushed for time. An acquaintance
of Mcdowell suggested that perhaps
certain men who jostled against him
at the station were the guilty par
ties. Just before this Mr. Sustare
was seen to come from the hotel
nearby counting some money. This
they thought clue. A third man
was seen to leave the train in a
hurry and disappear. High Point
was notified and when the train ar
rived Mcdowell demanded that the
two travelling men be searched, cay
ing the money stolen was mostly in
$50. bills, but none were found on
either of the men searched. Murray
resumed his journey but Sustare re-
mained here to learn the. name of
the man who caused the search and
ascertain if the officers had a right
to search him. 1t is learned that
PatrOlmen Carroll and Woods did
the searching without any warrant,
claiming for excuse that the travel
ing men did not resist it. Mr. Sus.
tare was some mad and could hard
ly talk when he alighted, He left
On the evening train for the south.
Mr.. Stone of the Broadway is ac-
quainted with Mr.. Sustare who lives
in Hickory.
1t was later learned that H. B.
Nabors also had his pockets rif1ed in
Greensboro Sunday night to the ex-
tent of $4,000.

1t would have been far better for
the tax payers of High Point and
for the progress of the city along the
line of improvements to have not
raised the valuation Of and tax rate
on (both) property, but instead have
had a lower rate of valuation and
taxation and issued bonds to the
needed for improvements. We
speak of that part that has been
used for improvements, directly or
indirectly. The fact that High Point,
of all the larger cities in the state
except one, has the highest tax rate
shows that bonds would have done
the work better at a much lower
cost to the tax payers. For instance
about all of the cities the size of
High Point have a bonded indebted
ness much larger than ours, yet has
been stated their tax rate and valu-
alton is TnHch,loWer, as comparison
Of the table above shows.

citizens (they live here of course)
and it seems that it is a hard mat

does look like the limit has been

and stop the false alarms and the
city could do it if it once made up its

LET'S BE HONEST WITH OURSEL
~ 70 VFC

A home for fallen women is all
right and good but what about i
home for fallen men; why does sos
ciety make the distinction? It
makes us sick to see people continus
ally trying to emphasize Woman'S
weakness when nine times out Of
ten a devil of a man ruined giri
thru brute force or Adam-like pers
suasions; where the woman sins once
and 4is ilsgEaeed athe man sins fifty
times perhaps and is nol ostracised.
We hardly think that it is the
right thing to try and teach morality
thru immortality If the people are
called upon to witness a disgusting
scene just to point out what should
have been done we believe more
harm is done to the general public
than all the possible good to come
from the lesson. For heavens sake
let's keep our innocent children from
such disgusting portrayals of indie
cency and do our teaching to them
at home. If modesty is crucified in
public why can't we lay aside our
seemingly modesty in the home
when il is our duty to teach of the
mating of the dove" in the Spring
tine and of thei beautiful flowers of
purity and innocence that grow so
dangerously near the poisoned oak.

Bird S. Coler of the Carolina and

tend his railroad from High Point to
Greensboro and belt the factories
there for the sum of $500, 900 which
is double the amount previously
asked but steel and other railroad
supplies have doubled within the
past 18 months. hence the increase
asked. 4 The matter will be given
serious attention,
Mr.. Coler has also made Thomas,
vile a proPosition-tO lay street car
tracks through the principal streets
of that town and extend the line to
High Point if Thomasville will con-
tribute $4,000. The business men
of the town are favorable to the
proposition but it is believed the
city fathers will be slow to order an
election, claiming the taxes now
are quite high.
