Southern Commercial Conven-1
tion
The Secretary of the Hickory
Chamber of Commerce has re
ceived an urgent invitation from
the Chattanooga Secretary to
send delegates to the Commer
cial convention to be held in that
city Aug. 11, 12, 13, and 14.
Reduced rates are to be given on
all railroads for the occasion and
delegates are expected to attend
from all over the South.
Arrangements have been made
for entertaining the guests in an
elaborate fashion.
From the Aslieville Citizen
The Citizen is not prompted by
any political animus when it de
clares that this miserable exhibi
tion of subservience to the Rough
Rider should, and doubtless wili
defeat Taft for the presidency.
We have requisitioned our me
mory in vain for a display equal
to it. One life-long Republican
stated to the writer yesterday
that Taft made a colossal blunder
when he announced through the
Association Press that he would
go to Oyster Bay for the purpose
of submitting his speech to Presi
dent Roosevelt, and there will
doubtless be a small armv of
American citizens holding the
same opinion. To express,it m
a vulvar way, we really believe
tiat Taft has torn something.

Stops Work On Factory
Quite a disturbance was raised
in West Hickory last Friday tho
it is usually quiet out there. The
cause of the commotion was Mr.
H. H. Abee, the town's recently
elected Mayor tried to put a stop
with a gun, to the erecting of
the foundations of a picker-stick
factory. The site of the factory
is a lot belonging to Mr. George
F. Ivey. Mr. Ivey is at the head
of the company. Nothing can be
done until the case is settled in
Magistrate Site's court.
The citizens of West Hickory
are much excited about the mat
ter. Mayor Abee not only came
out gun in hand, but kicked over
the foundation.

Womens' Institute.
In connection witk the regular
annual Farmers Institutes f r
men to be held at Newton Tues
day Aug. 18 and Hickory Wed
nesday Aug. 19 there will also be
held a meeting for the women
from the farms. One or two
women speakers will be furnish
ed by the State Department of
Agriculture and these will be as
sisted by the men conducting the
men's institute. As this meet
ing will be held on the same day
and at the same place as the
farmers institute a joint meeting
of the men and women may be
arranged for the afternoon.
The women have greater and
even more perplexing problems
in the homes than the men have
on the farms. Why should they
not come togother and discuss
these problems and get inspira
tion and help in solving them.
We have heard of no woman at
tending such an institute who
did not become interested.
