SOMETHING LONG NEEDED
FOR THIS HUSTLING CITY
FURNITURE EXHIBITION BUILD
ING Is. PLANNED.
Committee Appointed to Look Into the
Matter-Good Proposition for High
Point-WiIl She Grasp It?

Does High Point want modern
furniture exposition building? Well.
here's the chance A meeting of the
| directors of the Chamber of Com
merce and the furniture manufactu-
rers were recently held and COM
mittees were named to get data and
report at an early meeting.
S. L. Davis and Charles: F. Long
were named to see the furniture manu-
facturers of the city to ascertain just
how much financial assistance they
can be depended upon to give, E. A.
Tate, J. e. Marsh and J. e. Kirkman
comprise the committee that will i'm
mediately get prices and quotations as
to a building, site and structure, and
the gentlemen who viii seek the as
certain the space requirements of the
manufacturers are R. B. Terry. Q. E.
Kearns, Charles F. Tomlinson and H.
A. Mills.
Char1es~F Long returned Thursday
from Jamestown, N Y, where he went
as a special representative of the
High Point Chamber of Commerce to
secure information regarding the
great furniture exposition building
erected there little more than two
years ago. According to information
delivered by Mr.. Long last night the
eight+story steel and concrete structure
was erected at a cost of $325,OOO. The
organization behind the building had
capital stock of $15O,OOO, bonds total
ling $150, 900 more were issued and the
final $4,000 was borrowed.
In two years the profits have been
sufficient to pay off the interest on the
bonds, pay off loan Of $25,00O, create
a surplus of $4,000 now in the bank
and pay semi-annual dividends of five
per cent to the bondholders. Now
steps are andeR way to huid even, a
larger exposition building at James
town.
Manufacturers present offered to
take a total of $25,0OO of the capital
stock and pledged more for bonds.
Only a small number of manufacturers
were present.
To show why the exposition build
ing az Jamestown is a good business
proposition, Mr. Long stated that the
manufacturers who signed leases for
long terms paid an annual rental of
27 cents a square foot for exhibit
space, whereas those who came in
after the building was erected and
had been financed by the others we're
required to pay 80 cents a square
foot for the space. The building has
improved the Jamestown furniture
marL ct wonderfully, it was stated, and
Mr.. Long was positive it would do the
same for High Points mart.

Some of the voters are under the
impression that one can vote only for
candidate in his particular ward, in
the election May 9Th. This is wrong
you can vote for the mayor and one
man from each ward, regardless of
what ward you live in. The primary
is the cause of this belief on the part
of some but as there were no surplus
candidates the primary was unnec-
essary, hence a vote can be cast for
four councilmen. The amendment to
be voted on May 9Th, if passed,
amends that part of the primary for
bidding the voting for the men in
your ward only in the primaries. =

IMPORTANT TO MERCHANTS.

Collector Watts desires that all per-
sons, firms and corporations who sell
preparations of any kind containing a
narcotic drug in quantity exempted
from payment of tax be notified that
they must register and pay special
tax of 81 per year or fraction there
of:
The principal narcotic drugs sold
untaxed are: Paregoric, ~Bateman's S
Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, and quite a
number of others, containing a very
small percentage of narcotics. Prob
ably most merchants, especially coun-
try merchants, sell some Of these prep
arations. They should Immediately
write the collector for a form upon
which to register, which form should
be executed in accordance with the
directions thereon, and returned to the
Collector, together with 81, at the very
earliest possible date.
This tax does not apply to drug
gists and others who are already reg
istered under the law, and who pay a
special tax at higher rate

pany. There are twenty-five addi-
tional petty officers for each COM
pany. eight of whom are from the
second class, every member Of the
first class having been designated as
either a commissioned or a petty Of
ficer.
The appointments were founded on
the efficiency indicated by the mid
shfpmen during the whole Of the pre-
vious course, the marks during the
summer cruise just closed being IN
cluded. The first class. having been
selected from the first half of last
years third class in point of scholar
ship, is naturally a picked body or
young men. nd the average efficiency
in scholarship stands very high. 1t is
interesting to note that no section or
the country has a preponderence OF
those who have excelled in the mill
tary organization, but that the rank
ing officers are from nearly every
section.
Not only will these midshipmen Of
ficers have charge of the drills and

important duties in connection with
the administration and discipline OF
the whole body of midshipmen. and
