It is good news that has been flashed over the country that Guitfordcounty takes the lead in building the high est grade road bed for a distance of 15 miles. ' The board of county commission ers, Tuesday voted unanimously to borrow a sum not to exceed $125,- OUU with which to construct imme diately, between "Gieensboro and High Point, a concrete-asphalt high way. Between four and five miles of such highway has already been built, something over two miles from each point, and there remains approximately 10 miles to be con structed. It is estimated that the work will cost about $12,500 per mile. ! I ?1 1 , 1 ine wor& win oe aone Dy con tract being the intention of the board to have the improvement made by a force outside of the county convicts, so that the latter may be used continuously on im provement and repair work in other sections of the county. The new highway which is to be of the very highest class to be found in the United States, will be completed during the coming summer. It will be the finest section of roadway to be found in North Carolina, connect iug the best two towns in the state; and Will likewise be the finest link in this state of the National and Central highways. It will be model by which other counties may be guided in future highway lm provetiients. High V Point, N.. C., Thursday, Feb. 10: 191 6 9 ' i . - .

There are 1600 North State subscribers, scores of whom would: have been present, representing every trade and . busi ness, if they had been asked, there are many at i nomas vine and Lex ington also, all of whom are against consolidation with the Bell Tele phone Co. So the crowd present last night were ONLY the ones ask 6d to come out to the meeting ? f it developed at the meeting that itiwas consolidation of the-nlants that was desired by the Bell Tele phone Co. more than the long dis tance connection: which manadAr Hayden of the North State Co. offer ed to make. But the local company is not favorable to a proposition with a company that has' onlv 86 phones in the city and a big investment against the North' State (Vs. 1600 connections as it would be a tremend our burden to shoulder such a con solidation proposition even with a big increase in rates which would naturally follow. The Bell plant could not be used at all for some time. - More than a thousand merchants manufacturers, other business con cerns ana maiviauais are averse to the proposition and will sneak out when given a chance.

As a matter of fact I am ceedingly optimistic. I believe that there is no one who has a more abun dant or a longer abiding faitn n tue eff:. cacy of ambition and hard determined work. It you are coins: to try to get into Die tures, there is a . safe and sensible way or you to start about it and that is with aa expectation that you are to experience a real struggle ana will have reason to call upon every ounce of courage and patience you possess. ' - U i. . lueiciuic i'm. goinj: iOj warn you against two enemies to vour. success. One is the irresponsible stories you have read about in this or that actress who has fallen immediately into star roles and big salary with no effort ; or fight for what she got; the other is your well meaning but deluded friends who tell you that you are as beautiful and talent as any one appeaneg on tne screen, w'uum consequently aemana as much recognition and- salary,, and de maod it with no delay. I can tell you honestly that there is no one who has achieved anything in the motion picture profession who has not worked hard for her success. The struggle with, some have been more obivous than with others,' but, whether it has been seen or not, the struggle has Deen mere in every case and the success has been the reward of exit and fi?ht. When your friends tell you how easily you witKsucceea in pictures, thank them as politely as you can, but do not take their words too much to heart Our director tells xae that the girls who apply to him for a "trial" because their friends are sure of their, immediate success, are each day numerous enough to furnish every producing company in the' United States with a leading woman. : A very few of these many applicants will some day, be sure enough leading women, but they, are the ones' who will the most successfully disregard what their friends have said, and consequently be the more ready to start out with a determination to work and wait until success is theirs- Why Shoulder a White W phant? :1-:M:: , We can't see why High Point is inconvenienced by the local tele phone company failing to consolidate with the. Bell. " It is believe i that ninety per cent of its 1600 subscri bers do not care for a more extehrU'.- ed long distance ?than now in use ; bat that it's onlythe very few who care to talk to New York and San Francisco from their office and these calls are far between. -The Jocaf company is in connection with the Postal Telegraph Company l and reaches all important cities - in the south and southwest (and no doubt ; this connection is what caused the Bell Company to see a dhnstV Th local company also reaches many " points in the state over its own lines and the service, both local and long distance, is just about half what Is v charged by the Bell. We do not be- ' lieve the people are willing to pay the double rate to be charged just to. please, a few people, which wmJd i have to be the case if the local con.. ' pany consolidated with the Bell: which has a v $50,000 investment here with only 86 subscribers against the North Sfate Compauyv i with a similar investment and 1600" connections. It doesn't take a philr: y sopher to see the difference. Pray icii us u such an investment wouja appeal to any business "concern in High Point86 phones and $50,000 investment? Not one ner cent, net profit after deducting operating ex-vr i penses, etc. Then why want home ' : ; people to shoulder a white elephant?.. ;,; The local company will no doubtS ! be glad to give the long distance: service to any point not reached by ' its company but consolidation is i ; another thing."
