Report Shows Water
in High Point Pure

High Point water again has been
declared absolutely pure, according to
City Manager R. L. Pickett, who Sat-
urday received report from the
state laboratory of hygiene at Raleigh.
The statement from the Capital City
said the water, after being analyzed,
was founded to be 100 per cent pure.
City Manager Pickett said that dur
ing the summer months the water
from cities in North Carolina is tested
at least twice each month in order to
determine whether it is contaminated.
This is done because of the fact that
many cities are often visited by cpl
denies of various diseases during the
thee hot months of the yea.
"Tell them they may now drink all
the pure water they wish in High
Point, said the city manager in an

from Raleigh.

Among the good things that have
] come to High Point in the last few
months there are none for which the
people Of this city should be more
! grateful, and none for which they are
more grateful than the city abattoir
which was opened on the 18th inst.
The foresightedness of ex-Mayor
Stanton, and Commissioners J. w.
+ Hedrick, w. L. Stan1ey, F. P. Conrad
and E. K. Ingram, in giving to the
city this up-to-date plant cannot be
too fully appreciated. The plant
makes it possible for the meat sup
ply of High Point to be second to
none in the United States.
For the benefit Of the meat con-
sumers of the city, the plant and pro-
:cesses will be briefly described. =
Start at the cattle pens. The cattle
shed arranged in the most sanitary
manner with cement drinking trough,
supplied with city water. While here
they are given the anti-mortem (be-
fore killing) inspection by the city
meat Inspector. From the pens they
ae driven up gangway into a cham
Der where they are killed. From the
killing room they are hoisted to a
series of overhead trackage by cleo
trlcity, and put through the process
OF peltlng, eviscerating, and halving.
141e. carcasses are carried on the same
tracks to the cooling room, where the
post mortem (after killing) inspection
is made by the city meat inspector.
After cooling the meat is tracked
into the chilling room where it stays
until transferred to the market for
distribution.
The blood and offal from the animal
are passed to renderer, where by
products of the abattoir are made.
In the case of the porcine, little
different arrangement is made from
that for the bovine. The hog is hoist
ed by electricity from the basement
Q fthe abattoir building, and passed
over a gutter, where he is bled,
through a scalding vat. From here he
goes into an electric scraper, where
t1e hair is removed at the rate of
one hog every the seconds. From
this scraper he is swung on the over
head tracks and passed finally into
the chilling room.
The city abattoir is furnished with |
lights, power, water and sewer, from
the city plants. 1t has toilet and
shower bath equipment for the oper-
ators. 1t is equipped with cement
floors throughout and is as sanitary
and minus of odor as the cleanest of
Kitchens.
Tie building was designed and
erected by the firm of r. K. Stewart
4 Son, local contractors, and is equip
ped with Brecht Refrigerating plant. |
Scientifically killed and dressed, !
post and anti-morten inspected, by an
efficient inspector, properly cooled and |
chilled is the kind of meat now being !
consumed by High Pointers Cham !

Route A News
Rv MARY A. CLODFELTER

By MARY A. CLODFELlER
We regret to learn of the death of
Mr.. Hiram Bodenheimer, which oc-
Cured at his home near ABBOTT S
Creek Friday evening of last week.
He leaves a wife and ten children,
five girls and five boys, AZ grandch1f-
dren and four great-grandch1ldren.
Mr.. Bodenheimer was 72 years OF age,
was a consistent Christian, being a
devoted member of the Missionary
Baptist church at Abbott's Creek for
a number Of years. There the re-
mains we're laid to rest, funeral ser
vices conducted by Rev: j. M. Hill
lizard, of High Point. Our deepest
sympathy is extended to the be-
reaved family. May they look to
the Lord for comfort.
D. E. Clodfelter and son Edward
says the sale of snap beans i'll High
Point is very good, as they received
$500 per bushel for theirs. You can
get even more than that in Winston,
someone was saying. It is easy to
sell things now, SO we shouldn't as
sumo a crouch, going around saying
we can't get any price for our pro-
ducts.
Several of the farmers in this COM
munity are threshing their wheat. The
Hines brothers have nearly finished
theirs. Wheat is good this year. We
also have very good oat crop.
The rain last Thursday certainly did
help the corn. Everything is growing
nicely.
D. M. Clodfelter spent Friday of
last week in High Point.
Three births in this community last
week. A fine grill born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Birch Payne, also a fine girl at
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Craven. Last but not least, big boy
was left at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Earl Fuller.

'Dear Mr.. President: =

"Dear Mr.. President:
I ''The people of the south are great
! ly surprised and badly disappointed in
every way in regard to yo41f ap-
pointing eHnry Lincoln johnson as re
corded of deeds for the District OF
Columbia. You have killed the Re
publican party in the south by this
one move. Last November if Henry
! Lincoln Johnson had not been a ma
! tional committeeman from Georgia you
would have received 100000 more
votes in the south, and would have
carried the state of Georgia and prob
ably North Carolina. I have been a
lifelong Republican. In 1874 I cast
my first Republican vote and l have
voted the straight Republican ticket
ever since. If it had not been for the
negro in politics, I. North Carolina
would have ben a Republican state
years ago, and no doubt several other
southern states. | have been mining
in the state of Georgia for the past
three years and have become ac-
quainted with q great many Pr eminent
people there, lawyers and business
men, and in conversation with these
men they have expressed their feel
ings and sympathy as being with the
Republican party, and both lawyers
and business man has stated to me
that they would join the Republican
party, if it was not for having to hu-
initiate themselves with the negro in
conventions and all political gather
ings. Several prominent newspaper
men have made this same statement
to me.
A Personal Question
"Now, Mr.. President, suppose you
had daughters working Gn the record
er's office, how would you like FOR
your daughters to be bossed by \ col!
oHed man? l know if I had a d2agn-
ter working there / would order her
home when the negro came into office,
and any other man with the right
thought would do the same. I am in
favor of the negro being treated light,
but the more you try to ally the two
races politically the more crime and
lvnchings occur all over the country,
and it is best for the negro to remain
in his place. If he is given an office
let him be sent to represent this,
country wehere the people are o. his
race, or where no white people come
under his control. If the election
was coming off next Novenabe.>, after
this appointment you have made. !
your vote would be at least 100000
less in the south, and if YOU had not
don ethis, at the next election, We
would have carried several southern

ry Lincoln johnson the Republican
party of the south is doomed for all
time to come. <-s

lied upon his pocket knife to save him
and during the melee suffered badly
mangled arm, while the big bear was
later found dead about 200 yards from
the scene of the encounter. P. H.
Mashberne, who was near Mr.. Pster
when the bear attacked him, killed
two of the cubs with shotgun, but
was unable to reach the dense un-
derbrush where Mr.. Poseter wrestled
with the big one until after the
scrap" Mashberne and Poster were
crossing the Blue Ridge Mountain near
Old Fort in an effort to round up
their cattle when the bears were
encountered and later made known
their struggle with bruin when they
returned to Old Fort.
