Taft's Rebuke.
The discreditable condition of
North Carolina Republicanism
was emphasized when a great
National Republication leader
and member of the cabinet
journeyed all the way from Wash
ing on to Greensboro to adminis
ter a stinging rebuke to his owi
party in this State for their con
tinual quarrelling about federal
offices.
Certainly there is no good rea
son that we can imagine why
_ anyone should wish to become f
Republican; but even if a neu
recruit could be found, he would,
if worth gaining, at once because
disgusted with the snapping and
snarling of the hungry federal
pie brigade. It has been only a
few weeks since Judge Bynum,
one of the ablest and most inde
pendent Republicans in the
State, spoke of the Butler-Rollins
ring now controlling the Repub
lican organization as a "gang of
cutthroats and pirates." The
man who should enlist under such
leadership would need to put his
conscience through some patent
hardening process.
Saturdays Lot Sale.
The big lot sale in South East
Hickory Saturday was interrupt
ed by the weather, causing a
great many of the.crowd to get a
thorough wetting. Mr. Webb,
the auctioneer, in his usual con
vincing manner had just gotten
the audience convinced that the
proposition was a good one when
the rain came. Twenty lots were
disposed of during the sale. We
understand that those were for
tunate enough to secure these
were offered, in some cases, a
good substantial premium on
on their purchases before they
left the grounds. Several appli
cations were made for lots at
private sale but these were re
refused as the gentlemen who
had the sale in charge will hold
an auction for the remaining
thirty four lots at 2 o'clock next
Saturday the 21st.
Mr. Mattocks of the Lenoir
Reality and Insurance Co., had
placed so much effort in the suc
cessful sale of the lots that we
especially regret the interruption
on their account. This is an en
terprising Company and are the
means of being of benefit to any
town where they do business.
We trust that the sale will have
fair weather and a good attend
ance next Saturday. It is always
in order to extend the advice
that Mr. Webb said he had ex
tended to him and that is "When
it rains let it rain."
A DEMOCRATIC
LOVE FEAST.
Caldwell's County Conven
tion—The most Harmonious
and Enthusiastic in its His
tory.
The Democratic Convention
which met at the court house in
Lenoir Monday at eleven o'clock
registered the high water mark
as far as enthusiasm harmony
and party felling is concerned.
It was generally known that
Hon. R. N. Hackett Democratic
candidate for Congress from the
eighth district would be present
and address the voters and this
no doubt proved a drawing caro
at least to those who were not
directly interested or were dele
gates. The convention hall wat
crowded almost to suffocatioi.
from the time when Chairman
Hon. W. C. Newland called the
convention to order until the last
word spoken by Hon. R. N.
Hackett whose address was 18bt
in the days business was uttered.
Of Mr. Hackett's speech it is
only necessary to say that ht
sDoke in his usual eloquent and
forcible manner. He severely
arranged his opponent who as
he said, *'misrepresents the peo
ple of the eighth district in Con
gress." Mr. Blackburn was in
Lenoir during the time Mr.
Hackett was speaking, but made
himself scarce in the immediate
vicinity of the speaker or more
particularly the convention hall,
and as a certain voter remarkeo
after the speech " if I blame
him."
Of the ticket nominated it is
sufficient to say Caldwell nevei
had a better, nor was there ever
better feeling manifested in a
convention during the conven
tions or after.
There was some little spirit
manifested in the race for place
on the ticket, but it is safe to
say that there is not a sore spot
left anywhere. Chairman Hon.
W. C. Newland presided with
dignity and force. His rubbings
were just, his speech of accept
ance, eloquent and to the point.
Judge W. L. Wakefield and
Capt. Edmund Jones made char
acteristic speeches and were
heard with pleasure and enthusi
asm. Caldwell is certainly in
shape to win if the representa
tive body of democrats present;
the enthusiasm manifested and
harmony prevailing indicates
anything.
Following is the ticket nomi
nated:

A Butler-Adam Ticket
These are rough times for
Blackburn men in Catawba coun
ty. The Butler-Adams combinatin ,
has taken charge of the buck of
the county nominations while the
county nominations while the
Blackburn boys are left to stand
out in the cold with the privilege
of seeing the other faction calm
ly range itself about the pie
counter.
The Blackburnites will how
ever be given the privilege of
throwing up their hats and hur
rahing for Butler-Adams.
They will also be privileged to
cast their votes for the nominees
whom Butler-Aaams has chosen
for them. This will be a great
privilege—one to be eagerly
sought. In due time if the
Blackburnites will beg forgive
ness and make public profession
of repentance, they may once
more be received into Butler
Adams fellowship and may se
cure a few stray crumbs of fed
eral patronage, such as the posi
tions of coroner or surveyor. j

What is aßackache?
IT IS KATURE'S WARMIHS TO WOMEN
Diseases of Woman's Organism Cured and
Consequent Pain Stopped by Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
"It seems as though my back would
break." Women utter these words
over and over again, but continue to
drag along and suffer with aches in the
small of the back, pain low down in
the side, " bearing-down" pains, ner
vousness and no ambition for any task.
/Aiss Maude J!/l orris J

They do not realize that the back in
the mainspring of woman's organism,
and quickly indicates by aching a dis
eased condition of the female organ*
or kidneys, and that the aches and
pains will continue until the cause if
removed.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound has been for many years the
one and only effective remedy in such
cases. It speedily cures female and
kidney disorders and restores the fe
male organs to a healthy condition.
" I have suffered with female troubles for
ever two years, suffering Intense pain each
month, my back ached until it seemed as
though it would break, and I felt so weak all
over that I did not find strength to attend to
my work but had to stay in bed a large part
of the first two or three days every month
I would have sleepless nights, bad dreams and
severe headaches. All this undermined mv
health.
"We consulted an old family physician, who
advised that I try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound. I began taking it negularlv
and soon found that I could deep and eat
better than I had done f r months. Within
two months I became regular and I no longer
suffer from backache or pain."—Min MiSie

dence where they will reside in
