Lucky Randolph
Wins Auto
Elmer Sykes Won
Haynes Car in Detroit
Beggar Gave AsheborO Man Rattle
Ticket Which Later Proved
Lucky One.

We are always reading of some
rare piece of good fortune Detailing
some one in some "far distant cline"
but one of Asheboro's most retiring
young men has had a most interesting
and unexpected experience. Mr.. Ell
mer Sykes, Of South Asheboro, who
went to Detroit, Mich, several months
ago and was working at a Standard
Oil station there, was approached by
man who said he was broke and
i asked for some money. He gave the
man fifty cents, and the man wishing
to show his gratitude, offered to assist
him in some work, but Mr.. Sykes as,
sured him he was welcome to the
small donation. The man t., en- pulled
out a ticket on a Haynes brougham
that was being raffled at the Shriners
Circus, and gave it to him saying it
was of no use to him. Mr. Sykes put
it in the pocket of his work clothes,
and it stayed there forgotten while
the Shriners held their circus. At the
close of the circus, no one came for
ward with the lucky ticket and inQui-
ries weer instituted to no avail. The
number of the ticket was E-2234-N.
Finally Sykes read the story of how
the Shriners were searching for the
one who held the lucky number and
recalled the affair mentioned above.
He then looked up the old trousers,
which had been discarded and foand
the ticket with number which looked
to be the same as the rnieeiro one,
but was so oil soaked and eoiIed that
it was hard to tell exactly what it was,
but he took it to the Shriners and a
scientific test was made. The ticket
was the lucky ne! The $4,1OO
Haynes brougham was then given
over to Mr.. Sykes, and he has made
trip home to see his mother and
father in the car. 1t is maroon col
feels that it is a right substantial re-
ward for his kindness to the man to
whom he gave the fifty cents.

High Point Morals
Scored at Meetina
KiWanis Club Here
Local Kiwaniars Resolve to Find So
luton for PrOblem-Interestin
Meeting

Discussion of business ethics fea-
tured last weeks meeting Of the High
Point Kiw2nis club in the basement
of the First Reformed church where
the kiWanians were served lunch.
While talking business conditions and
admitting that High Point is a great
industrial center the club members
delved into a discussion Of High Paint
as a moral town. ~e.z---=--- ,r-e@.s - sss
'eYou cannot get around the fact
that High Point as far as morals are
concerned is rotten" declared j. Ed.
Kirkman, in speech waXed with ora
tory. "I may be criticized Cor say
ing it, but until the ministers Of the
town, the business men, the officers
and fathers and mothers get togetil-
er and solve the problem the city Is
going to be in bad condition.
The speech brought forth replies by
various members of the club. The k1-
wanians were enthused by Mr; kirk
mans speech. They resolved there to
90 to work and find solution for the
problem. They were not only Wiling
to discuss the matters at their meet
ings but they were ready to take &C
ti0n as we'll as talk about it.
President Steve Clark said the ques-
ton would be followed up at each
meeting and talk would be put into
action.
The discussion Of business ethics
was also interesting. President Clark
outlined the need of better co-opera-
ton on the part of the business men
of the community. Mr.. Clark admitted
that constructive criticism was a good
thing and that it was certain to bring
results.
''And as individuals our personal
morals are constantly under the spot
light of pulpit and press: And as far
as social service, good night, we have
societies of every imaginable name
dealing with every conceivable phase
of human life from twilight sleep to
Egyptian embalming. Going even fur
ther we have societies of spiritual
tiles improving the dead" said Pres
ident Clark, in a paper, which he read
to the club.
"Today for the fist time we are
to discuss that all important phase
of life-bread winning and so far
as your president knows the only
High Point blsiness men have openly
discussed with a view to improving
business morals or ethics as it is more
politely referred to-"

City Have May a
Special Officer
L. B. Abernethy Will Probably Be
Named 60 Patrol Business Dis
trict at Night

L. B. Abernethy, who has been in
High Point for several weeks assist
ing Rev. Jim Green in his tent re-
Vival, may continue to make his home
in the city. Mr.. Abernethy has made
application to the police department
for q position as an officer Of the law
In view of the fact that the city can
not increase the force at present, it
has been suggested that Mr. Aber-
nethy be employed as a special officer
to police the business district of the
city at night, but what action will be
taken IN the matter is not known at
the moment.
Information from what is believed
TO be an authoritative source is that
the city would be willing to pay half
the salary to be received by the of
fcer if the business men are willing
to pay the other half. Whether the
idea will meet the approval of the
merchants is not known, but it is
known that during the epidemic of
robberies several months ago one or
two n1ech5ntS expressed a willing
ness to donate towards a fund for
the employment OF such an officer.
Chief of Police L. w. BlackweIder
said that he had no objection to such
plan being carried out and he did
not hesitate in expressing the belief
that it would have saIutary effect
on crime.
Mr.. Abernethy has had a consider
able bit of experience as an ocicer Of
the law, he having served for several
years as policeman in larger cities
Of the country. He also has been en-
ployed by the government to assist
in the enforcement of the prohibition
laws and carries with hir1 letters Of
high recommendation from officials,
Including cne from Governor Cooper,
of South Carolina.

FOch to Attend
Old Hickory Meet
Commander Of Allied Armies Will Be
Guest at Reunion of Thirtieth
Division

Marshal Ferdinand Foch, chief of
all the allied armies in the great final
drive to victory, will be in Nashville
November 4, to attend the ope4ling
day of the third annual reunion OF
the Old Hickory association, veterans
of the Thirtieth division.
The reception committee Of the
American legion, in charge of the
Marshals American itinerary, has in
cluded the relalion at Nashville. This
will be his only visit to the south.
It is also probable that Admiral Da-
vid Beatty, hero Of the Battle of Jut-
land and the chief Of the British navy,
will attend the reunion. Definite ac-
ceptance has not been received from
Admiral Beatty, howeevr.
Beside these distinguished visitors,
and General Pershing, eight of the
twelve congressional medal of honor
men of the Thirtieth division will also
be guests of the Old Hickory assocla-
ton. Four other medal Of honor men
Of the division fell on the field of bat
tie.
gressionaI medals of honor aawrded
during the world war To win one of
them q soldier must be more than
a brave and gallant fighter. Conspic-
uous bravery in action is rewarded
with the distinguished service cross of
which there were some five thousand
awarded during the war. To win the
medal of honor, however, requires
"conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity
above and beyond the call of duty in
action"
The medal is never awarded except
after the most searching investigation
by Representatives Of the commander
in chief. That nearly one-sixth of all
the medals of honor given in the
whole army should have been be-
slowed on members of the thirtieth
division is itself the finest tribute that
could be paid to the division which
first smashed it's way through the
defenses Of the iHndeC1burg system at
Bellicourt.
The four congressional medal o f
honor men Of the division who gave
their lives in battle are: Robert L.
Blackwell, North Carolina, and First
Sergeant Milo Lemert, Tennessee,
of the 10th infantry; Corp. James D.
Heriot and Sergt. Thomas Lee Hall,
both of South Carolina and Of he
118th Infantry.
