TO SEE THAT CHILD LABOR LAW
is ENFORCED.

Mrs. Blanche Carr, of Greensboro,
superintendent of public welfare of
Guilford county, visits High Point
. every Thursday in the interests of the
compulsory school law. She is re-
ceiving the enthusiastic cooperation
of w. M. Mari, superintendent of
the city schools and many private citi-
zens in enforcing the law here. ....
Mrs. Carr says that it is essential
that every business man desiring to
employ children between the ages Of
II and IA years after school hours
file application for same with her. She
will be glad to furnish application
blanks for that purpose. Two applica-
tions for each employe are to be sub
mitted. One of the applications goes
to Raleigh and another is kept in
Mrs. Carr's office at Greensboro. In
vestigation into the conditions sur
rounding the child will he instituted
by Mrs. Carr after she receives the
application and if she finds that the
child is II years of age she will imme-
diately issue a certificate which will
entitle the child to work after school
hours. The certificate, Mrs. Carr
says, is transferable. That is, if the
child changes his place of employment
after the certificate has been issuer,
he can take the certificate with him
and another application will not have
to be made by his new employer.
Every child under IA years of age
is supposed to be in school and Mrs.
Carr is determined to do her duty
and see to it that the law is enforced
in High Point as we'll as every other
section under her jurisdiction. She
said that she had been lenient, espe-
cially to the employers, since the. law
went into effect, but was going to
force them to obey it hereafter.
According to thelaw no child under
IL years of age is supposed to be en-
ployed during the school period.

HOEY ELECTED YESTERDAY
BECKETT sTIRs BURKE FOR HoE4

EIec Him and Give Wilson Vote o
Confidence, He Says.-Democrat
Have Turned Morehead's SiIve
I Spoon Into Golden Bowl, Governo
Remarks. a.
Morganton, Dec. 13.-A stirring an
peal to the people Of Burke county tt
rally to the support of Clyde Hoey
i Democratic nominee for CONGRESS IN &
solid phalanx next Tuesday and senG
him to Congress- as an expression Oh
confidence in President Wilson and
an endorsement of the Democratic
paFtys record was made here tonight
by Governor Beckett.
The governor gave a large part of
his attention to a. review of his parity s
legislative record at Washington dur
ing the last seven years, diverged for
! a short defense of the state fevalua-
| ton act and then the old story of how
America won the war. His brilliant
review of the country's part IN the
great victory for democracy and ciVili-
zation was followed by a stirring ap-
pesag for the league of nations which,
he declared to be mankind's only
chart for a universal democracy and. a
lasting peace.
introduced in a very brief speech,
Governor Beckett first turned his at
tention to the two candidates for
Congress reviewing their records. He
declared there was no man in the
ninth district who would be more
truly representative of the masses of
the people than Clyde Hoey, while
John Morehead, said Governor Beckett
was born with a silver spoon in his
hand which through the beneficence
of Democratic legislation had been
transformed into a golden bowl. He
drew big laugh from his big crowd
when he rediculed the Republican at
tempt TO capture the district by
story which he paralleled by saying
THAT here was a stall fed mu1ey head
sometimes called Morehead trying ito
JUMP into the Democratic pasture, but
that ON next Tuesday the good people
of the ninth district would, with the
mighty shout of majority of 5000,
yen 'fHoey, Hoey," and drive More
head out Of the pasture.
The comparison of the records of
the two candidates was followed with
a, comparison of the records of the
two political PARTIES winch he COM
pared about as a potato hill TO asmoun-
tain. 2 .-z''.I I. -s.ssF t.
He declared the Democratic party
had in seven years given the country
more beneficial legislation than all
the Republican administrations had
written since Abraham Lincoln died
and said that the present Congress
had done absolutely nothing.
The governors grafton was a beau
tiful tribute to Wilson, which came
with an appeal for support for Hoey
as an endorsement of the Democratic
partys record, and as a vote of con-
fdence in President Wilson. The
governor was given a hearty recep-F
ton in MOrganton and the Demo
cratic managers here are claiming the
county for Foev by a small majority
but admit it will he close.

RED GROSS SEALS SELLING WELL

The sale of Red Cross Christmas
Seals is steadily increasing The in
tensive part of the sale, however, is
scheduled to begin the first Of the
week and will continue until a few
days before Christmas. Already Mrs.
w. A. Copeland, local chairman of
the campaign, is receiving loyal sup
port from the children of the various
city schools. During the intensive pc
riod booths will be erected at various
prominent places in the business Sec
tions Of the city and the seals will be
sold on the streets. %.
Throughout the nation this sale of
seals, perhaps the most worthy Of the
Red Gross causes, since it is to carry
relief to thousands in this country
suffering from tuberculosis, and since
it is to prevent the spread Of the tu-
berculosis plague, is being conducted
on tremendous SCALE Everywhere
it is being received with enthusiastic
approval and support and it is fully
expected that High Point will in no
wise fall behind her sister cities. :

LOCAL QUINT GOES DOWN IN
DEFEAT.
Boys Here Wosted in Contest With

GreenSh0ro

Lexington; Girls Loses in
Greensboro.
In an interesting game of basket
ball in the arInOry Friday night the
local varsity high schol team was de-
feated by the Lexington quint The
score was Is to- 8.
The locals put up hard fight
throughout the contest and not until
the last minute of play did they lose
hope of emerging winners. It was
evident, however, that the fast Lex
ingtcn team had Captain Payne's men
slightly Outc1assed when it came to
pocketing the pigskin and guarding.
Every member of the Lexington team
played good ball and demonstrated the
quality Of training given them. If the
iYfsitors keep up the kind of playing
they did in the game last night doubt
less they are going to make the high
esoaIe0aS pf the state work hard to
carry away state honors. For the
visitors Everhart featured. E. Ever
hart and Ingram played splendid ball
for High Point.
Ingram and Thomas played for
ward, Everhart held center and Smith
and Payne did the guarding for High
Point, while the visiting players were
Raker and Raper forwards, Everhart
center, and Hunt and Leonard guards.
Those present in the armory last
night saw another contest between the
second teams of High Point and Trim
ity high schools in which the locals
played stellar ball and came out vic
torious That contest preceded the
big scuffle.
Reitzel and Wall were forwards,
Andrews center, and Welburn and
Jamison were guards for the locals
AMI players for the visitors were
Burge and Swigger forwards, Cursey
center, and English and Brown guards.
The girls team of the local high
school journey to Greensboro last
night and were defeated by the high
school team Of that city by a score of
43 to f. This was the second time
this season that the locals have been
defeated by the team representing the
Gate City. The High Point girls made
a desperate effort to overcome the
lead the Greensboro team secured in
the first half of play, but were unsuc-
cessful.

NEGRO DIED or HEART TROUBLE

NEGRO DIED OF HEART TROUBLE.
In an effort to determine the cause
Of the death of Lester Parker, the
negro who fell dead near the factory
of the Kearns Furniture Company, in
this city, Thursday afternoon, an all-
topsy on his body was made by DIR:
T. NJ. Stanton, a local physician, and
it was discovered that Parker's death
was due to a ibreakage of one Of the
heart valves.
The negro was employed at the
Kearns factory and was loading fur
niture on a truck when he fell TO the
ground. Because a piece Of furniture
was acrcss his body when other en-
ployes reached. him the theory was
advsr ced that Parker was killed by
the furniture. Those acquainted with
the circumstances declare that this
was absolutely impossible for the fur
nitUre only weighed a few pounds and
that evidently the negro pulled it upon
himself as he fell
His body was still in local under
taking establishment awaiting the ar
rival of relatives.
