Says Stamey Will
Make Best Mayor"

Citizens of High Point
There has been some little discus
sion in the newspapers as to the fit
ness of the man who should be at the
executive head of the city for the next
two years. There seems to be various
ideas as to the real meaning Of the
word "fitness." Some apparently think
of man of fine physique, good look
ing, and with polished tongue; 9th
ers pick out personal friends who
are rather popular on account or oe-
ing "good mixers" with the people,
but have no special ability; while 9TH
ers pick man labeled by certain peo-
pie as a good business man, whether
he has made success OF his own
business or not. Appearances count
a little no doubt as we'll as the "good
fellow kind" but what counts more
than everything else is fellow who
performs" A man may be ever SO
good a business man or what not, put
Simply being it and not performing,
doesn't get him or the city anywhere
