And so the legislature has de
creed that $60,000 worth of bondsH
can oe issued by the city of High
Point to pay off the floating indebt
edness. Pray tell us why sixty
thousand when the floating indebt
edness is only a little more than half
this amount or thirty-five thousand.
We thought a cry had beea raised on
account of bond issues and yet here
we have the spectacle of wanting
twenty-five thousand more than is
needed for the purpose named. What
use would the other twenty-five
thousand be put to, eh?.
And then another one hundred
thousand for water and sewerage
"IF the people desire it." Mind you
IF thft people desire it IF they get
a "chance to desire it." rather. Why
give them a chance to vote on this
when a chance wasn't given them
to vote on the $60,000?
And then a bond issue for muni
cipal building "to be submitted to
he people.' Notice the construc-
of the three sentences, please.
Md these bonds will total
ig like two hundred thou
ilars and we are practically
.limit now.
rnll to reduce one-half costs in Re
corder's Court and thus invite law
lessness because an insignificant fine
is no detriment to law -breakers.
Will the bonds of $60,000 sell on
the market so readily when the vot-
ers had no chance to express their
views at the ballot-box? We think1
not unaer sucn a state 01 anairs as
will crop out.
Thank goodness not a man elect
ed by the votes of the good people
of High Point had anything to do
with it.
Heretofore we have been content
to let the people have a say (to rea
son together) but never before such
a high-handed, all out of reason pro
cedure taken. It s the worst blow
our city ever sustained.
Our Stand Endorsed.
The Review has received 64 sub
scriptions the past two weeks from
voters who endorse the stand taken
by this paper against disfranchising
them by the legislature. They sajd
so in subscribing and we feel that
we have at least been instrumental
in opening the eyes of the people to
the truth. There are hundreds of
others on our list who feel and ex
press themselves the same way.
Refers The Liquor Bill to The People?
Raleigh, March 2. Talked to an
everlasting finish and lobbed to death,
the Grier anti-jug act was defeated
in its main purpose this afternoon
by 26 to 22 and the people will de
termine whether the state wants to
drink or not.
The House declines to concur in
the Senate amended liquor law and
an effort is being made to pass a bill
suitable to both without referring it
to a vote of the people.

Gigantic Plot to inaugurate
Reign of Terror in
New York.
Anarchists Were Planning to Kill
Banks were to Be Blown Up,
Wealthy Men Slain and En
tire City to Be Pillaged.
New York, March 3. An attempt
to blow up the Catholic Cathedral
and the arrest of two men by detec
tives who had been informed for
months of their activity was followed
at police headquarters by announce
ment the arrest had frustrated an
attempt to kill with bombs Andrew
Carnegie, John D. Rockfeller, Sr.,
! John D. Rockfeller. Jr.. and other
wealthy men. The anarchists ac
cording to the police were to inaugu
rate in New York ci'y a reign of ter
ror similar to the days of the French
Revolution.
BANKS WERE TO BE WRECKED.
It was part of the plot, the police
assert, for gangs of men armed with
lifles and revolvers to appear sim
ultaneously in various parts of the
city and to shoot and pillage. The
biggest banks of New York city were
to be blown up. Many wealthy men
were to be slain.
The wrecking of the cathedral was
to be the signal for the opening ot
the campaign. The next move ac
cording to the police was to place
bombs in the-toomes of Andrew Car
negie, the Rockfellers and Cornelius
Vandetbilt.
DETECTIVES WORKED FOR MONTHS.
For months. the central office de
tectives had worked in the inner cir
cles of the anarchists. A detective,
Frank Balbo assisted in the manu
facture of the bombs with which the
attempt was made this morning to
blow up the cathedral. The detec
tive accompanied the bomb thrower
to the edifice and sat with him while
ne lighted the bomb Jmd hurled it at
the altar.
Immediately the cathedral , in
which SQOpersens were worshpj8fing
became alive with detectives. They
placed the man under arrest. De
tectives dashed into the aisles and
put out the sputtering fuse. The
congregation hardly realized what
had happened until the affair was
over.
REWARD FOR ARREST. .
Police Officers McFarland, Wriy
and Brandon are to divide among'
themselves a reward ot $100 to be
paid them by the National Jewelers'
Association for the arrest of Ray
mond Fair, who broke into Bernau's
jewelry store in Greensboro Sunday
night.
County Matters of Coming Importance
At the meeting of the Guilford
counts commissioners this week the
courn house matter will probably
come up again it the bill in the legis
lature is passed by that time. This
bill is to allow the county lo vote
bonds for the construction of a build
ing to be used as a court house. The
commissioners desire to have the
election as early ns possible and to
get the bonds sold that work may
be started.
As announced with the proposi
tion to build the commissioners wish
to see work started this spring.
Thou Id the election prove successful
steps will be taken at once to have
bonds disposed of and to remove the
present structure.
Another matter to be considered
next week is the proposed improve
ment ot certain streets near Greens
boro ana High Potnt, the commis
s mers having decided to improve
uiesewith substantial material. The
program of improvement incindes the
making of a first-class highway con
necting Greensboro and High Point.
The suggestion has been made
chat this highway be paved with
vitrified briek, but this is regarded
as an undertaking too expensive to
be folio .vd. The brick are not
made in this part of the country and
the cost of shipping them in from
the west would be enormous, not
counting the cost of putting them
down.
It looks like Greensboro controls
the political destiny of High Point
at present. Doubtless she remem
bers we asked for a new county once
and in order to humble us more (as
sae thought) her representatives
there and thereabouts contributed
largely to disfranchising our citizens
through the unjust bill passed by
the legislature, and which our citi
zens condemn in no uncertain words
Now watch High Point vote the
Republican ticket right along when
given a chance !
Merchant s Association Meets
White Way Week.
The officers af the Merchant's
Association for the ensuing term are
President Geo. T. Wood: Vice-presi
dent H. A. Moffitt; Sec, and Treas.
fc. H. Jarrett.
After election of officers it was de
cided to celebrate in a fitting manner
the opening of the white way" be.
ginning March 15. The celebration
will last one entire week which will
be advertised as High Point's great
white way week." All merchants
have offered their co-operation and
there is no doubt but the week will
be a memorable one in the history
of the city. It has been decided to
issue a tour-page pajer setting forth
the advantages of "buying in High
Point" as well as to point out the
attractions provided for the visitors
aurmg tne week. Mr. Wood as
chairman of this committee with the
assistance of William George Matton
will lend untiring efforts to the suc
cess of this great event.
T. P. A. Directors Favor Tomlinson
For President.
The board of directors of the
North Carolina Division of the
Travelers' Protective Association of
America met in the offices of the
Secretary, D. C Crutch field, Satur
day night at Winston. Chairman
W. R. Leak presided.
The feature of the meeting, which
is of general interest to the state at
large was the formal placing of the
name of Mr. C. F. Tomlinson the
national body as a candidate for
National president. Mr. Tomlinson
was a strong candidate at the last
meeting, but withdrew in favor of
the present encumbent.
Believe His Trip to South America
Will Profit Furniture Business.
btatesville, March 2. WA Thom
ps has returned to his home here af
ter having spent about four months
in South America as the representa
tive of the Southern Furniture Man
ufacturers' Associa t ionr It wilt he
remembered, that Mr. Thomas was
sent to South America by the furni
ture association to look into the fur
niture markets with a view to get
ting more of the South American
trade for the furniture manufactur
ers of this country. Mr. Thomas will
immediately make lip his report to
the association. He believes it will
prove a profitable one for the furni
ture manufacturers, though he can
not give out business information at
this time.
Interesting curios and souvenirs
were secured by Mr. Thomas in
many of the places visited. Among
these is a Vicuna rug which was se
cured from an Indian, a collection
of fine Panama hats and a Collec
tion of men's hose A pair of hose
was bought at each town visited for
Gen. Julian S Carr, of Durham, who
asked Mr. Thomas to secure them.
The Sparks World's Famous Shows
Headed This Waj Advance
Agent Here Yesterday.
Yesterday Mr. J. C. Tracy, general
advance representative for the
Sparks Shows, was in town making
contracts and paving the way for
the coming of the big circus. Im
mense quantities of provisions of all
kinds will be contracted for from
our local merchants, and the grounds
known as Welch circus grounds on
South Main street was leased for
Tuesday, April 13th, which is the
date the big show will exhibit here.
From now until show day hardly
a day will pass but what one or
more agents of the circus will be in
town looking after details, promot
ing publk interest and thoroughly
advertising the surrounding country.
This circus employs over 50 people
in the department of publicity alone.
Mr. Tracy, who is a very genial
gentleman, has in his possession
many newspaper criticisms of the
show and they all speak in glowing
terms of the excellent entertainment
given and the honorable methods
employed by the show management
in doing business with the public
no gambling or short change artists
being allowed among its employees.
Our people will undoubtedly turn
out en masse if the weather is at all
favorable.
ITS STATUS UNKNOWN.
There is a reasonable amount of
excusable curiosity on the uart of
many people hereabouts as to the
fate of the bill that was drawn and
sent to the legislature about ten days
ago to abolish the office of treasurer
of Guilford county. If the bill has
been introduced it has escaped the
attention of local readers or the legis
lative proceedings.
