ostoffice Employees
Have Guns to Protect
Uncle Sans Mail

Persons who in the future attempt
to rob the mails at the High Point
postoffce may come in contact with
regular United States army Colts
automatic pistol, employees at the, lo-
cSs Office f1aving been equipped with
the weapons, which were received
from the postoffce department last
week by Postmaster ]. J. Farriss.
Along with the pistols were sent
holsters, belts and a quantity of am
munition to guard the mails for a
time. Employees at the postoffice,
should it be absolutely necessary for
them to resort to such means in or
order to protect Uncle Sans prop
erty from any gang of ruffans, will
shoot to kill.
Information that the revolvers
would be supplied here was received
from postoffice officials several days
ago. Decision to supply employees of
the government with the pistols was
reached after reports of many rob
berries were received in Washington.
- It is learned here that recent de-
cision holds that government en-
ployes handing mails are not requlr-
ed to secure permits from state or
authorities in order to car
ry revolvers, but they may have them
when on duty.
Night employees at the High Point
postoffice will be especially cautious,
as directed by the department at
Washington and any persons who
might attempt to molest Uncle Sans
mails had better be prepared to face

Merchant Shoots
RObber of Store
Unknown White Man Believed to
Have Been Wounded by p. L.
Cutler Monday.

An unknown white man is beliey-
cd to have been shot and seriously
wounded shortly after / o'clock Mon
dav morning when he attempted to
rob the grocery store of p. L. Cutler
on Greer street. Two shots were fred
bv Mr.. Cutler from the interior of
the store building and it is apparent
that at least one of the bullets took
effect.
Shortly before 8 o'clock Sunday
night, only few minutes after Cul-
ler's store had been closed for the
day, Mr.. Cutler was informed chat
robbers had attempted to enter his
store. Hurrying to the building, the
merchant discovered hole in the
front, but investigation disclosed that
no merchandise had been taken. Be
ieving that the intruders would
again return, Mr.. Cutler decided to
conceal himself in the building for
the night. He armed himself with
a shot gun and revolver and sat in
the back of the store. About 1
o'clock footsteps and whispers were
heard on the outside.
One man, according to Mr.. Culler's
story, entered the building through
the window. At this juncture the
mGIC1ldIlG OAAcIC Vic 4OOOCA
hold up his hands, but the order
was not obeyed by the ruffian, who
put his hand in his pocket and was
in the act of bringing revolver
into play when Mr.. Cutler fired. The
unknown man fell through the WIN
dow, at the same time exclaiming
that he was shot, but when the mer-
chant reached the front the robber
and his confederate were hurrying
away. Mr.. Cutler fired again, but ow-
ing to the distance of the men from
the store, it is not believed the shot
took effect. A pool of blood on the
front indicated that the man was
hit by the first shot. -.
The police were notified and are
still searching for the robbers, but
this will be rather difficult as Mr..
Cutler was unable to get a good view
of them in the dark.

good times, educational classes, and
Spiritual development, and the one
secretary who has charge there does
wonders in making everybody feel at.

liable to any town, if only for its So
cial possibilities, but when there is
allied to this the Christian aspects of
the work, and the humaniZing and
uplifting character of it's whole pro-

ment that would bring in splendid re-
turns, The Y. w. G.. "A. is asking,
next week, for the $4,000 which is
necessary to maintain its present
work and enlarge in many directions
the scope of it's activities, among
which the cafeteria which is being
installed on Main street, will be OF
immense service to the community.
The money spent on equipping the
cafeteria is partly what would in an
ordinary restaurant be paid out in
walters wages. but in the cafeteria
form of restaurant is counted as
euuipment. This cafeteria should be
a blessing to many transients in the
town as well as to many business
people who are unable to go home
to their meals.
The budget also provides for two
additional secretaries, one for the
younger girls and the other. to work
in the factories and at the associa-
tian with the girls employed in the
various industries-a work which has
been permitted to slacken recently
because of the lack of secretary to
attend to it.
The girls are here and the Y CON
fdently presents it's past achieve
ments in High Point and it's future
plans to the community in the expec-
tation that every citizens will come
forward to help carry on work
which has proved itself of such far
reaching value to the town at large.

Charging High Rates.
High Point will entertain the 26th
annual convention of the state divi-
sion, Travellers Protective Association
OF America, and j. C.. Bragg, of Raj
eigh, will serve the association as
president. The last day of the con-
vention which began Friday morning,
was the most strenuous and, old mem
bers say, the storTniest in the history
of the state association. It closed
very delightfully."-, however, the dele
gates being guests of the local post
at banquet last night, at which Gov,
ernor Morrison was the chief speaker.
An interesting follow-up of the con-
vention will be a sermon by DIR. Chas.
F. Myers at the First Presbyterian
church.
Tenseness centered around the ques-
ton of increasing salary of D. C..
Crutchfeld, of Wi nston-Salem, the
election Of a president, and the dis
cussion of rates charged by some ho-
tells. There was an element in the
convention which appeared to believe
that steam-roller methods were being
used, and contests were frequent and
heated.

ORLANDO BEACH, Fla, Jan. B. The houseboat Victoria, on which President elect Harding is cruising down the Indian river, made her first stop here today and disembarked her passengers for a two-hour motor ride. The stop and a brief tie-up, when the Victoria tried to go through to Ormond drawbrodge, were the only incidents of peaceful Sundays sailing.
 Taking advantage of perfect wealth CT she pushed ahead of her schedule, and when she tied up for the night she was within a few hours of Rock Ledge. where the party expects to go ashore tomorrow for golf
 During the automobile ride, Mir. Harding and his companions drove to Daytona, eight miles away and brought back Senator Cummins of Iowa, to join the vacation party
 Under a hot sun, the elect wore white woolens and a straw hat His visit attracted little attention Only a few of the guests at the hotel here learned of his arrival until aftT the Victoria resumed her journey.
 The trouble at the drawbridge held up the boat for more than an hour She attempted the passage at too shal- low a point and stuck in the mud SC that the bridge could not be closed until her engine had slowly forced q way out Meantime more than a score automobiles were held up and severa hundred persons gathered on th' bridge and cheered the houseboa when she extricated herself At nt time was the Victoria in a dangerou. position. Her rudder was only slightl! damaged.

 Every year there have been hundreds disappointed who were unable to obtain seats. For this reason two important changes have been inaugurated this year. The engagement has been heightened to five nights instead of three, and the lodge has dispensed with the old method of issuing cards, and then redeeming the cards for seat cheeks and tickets. The tickets this | season will be handled the same as those for any theatrical attraction;

 The economic situation of the world will not recover its stability until the international money market regains its equilibrium" he said. To meet the situation. he urged regulation of the supply of certain commodities as a measure of self defense. Japan, he said. should endeavor to develop her markets especially in Europe and America. Business leaders. he added. should form associations to increase credits and avoid useless CO., operation. In other words, he declared the ma chinery of production and of distribu- ton should be strengthened. He urged tho people to abandon extravagant habits.

And then he became a successful opera singer, and got real job with De Wolf Hopper in Wang" Collins also appeared in eThe Lion Tanner with Francis Wilson.
 It was after that that he met with Byron G. Harlan, and the two decided | to combine their talents. Unlike Mir Collins. Byron Harlan never meant to be an actor at all. But he did have a
