In High Point the Eagle Hose No. 1 elected G. W. Ellington as captain and E. E. Ellington as first lieutenant with G. W. Myers as second lieutenant D. F. Yow as secretary and treasurer and Representative Carter Dalton named to the constitutional amendments committee. Dalton introduced a 1915 private laws amendment bill.
