Elli ott was nominated for the State Senate at Newton, the district which he will represent being the 31st, which is composed of Ca tawba and Lincoln counties. Mr. Elliott was placed in nomination by Hon. Thos.'M. Hufham, who spoke of him as a public spirited and generous citizen, an un swerving Democrat and a man . who, when a candidate before the people, never knows defeat. The nomination was made by ac ehmation. Mr. Frank A. Cline l was chosen chairman of the ex ecutive committee. Mr. Elliott r will no doubt win by a large ma- SENSATION IN BASE BALL Business Men vs Lawyers and Doctors. The greatest sensation of the season awaits the public for this afternoon. A season of rare sport and unparalleled excitement will be brought to a close by a fitting climax when Hickory's dashing business men will collide on the diamond with her gay and fes , tive lawyers and doctors. Ade luate preparations have been nade for this great occasion, and •n honor of an event so momen i tous, the stores will be closed, sick people left to die or get well, as luck may determine, while vio lotors will have to take leg bail or go to jail so far as getting any assistance from our able and es teemed bar is concerned for they will all be engaged on the field of glory. Those who run out of provisions will borrow or fast from 4p. mto 6 p. m., for no groceries will be handed over the counter, and the jangling of the city delivery wagons will be silent for a while in order that the population may turn out en masse to see this desperate con test which in point of interest overshadows all other impending events. The sweethearts of the single men and the wives of the mar ried will be on hand to cheer their respective gladiators to vic tory. Those who have both sweet hearts and wives will, of course, receive more than their fair share of applause; but this inequality will be more than over-balanced by inconvenience, which the ob jects of such double attention will suffer when they get home. The railroads will give a rate of 2\ cents a mile from Morgan ton, Marion. Newton and other neighboring towns. The hosts of business and the professions will be headed by Mr. C. M. Sherrill and Dr. H. C. Menzies, respectively, each of whom will marshall his forces with that skill and confidence which comes from long practice and shining success in base ball circles. It is understood that both the J American and National leagues' will have scouts on the ground to look over the players with a view to signing some of the young men who will engage iu this me morable contest. Connie Mack, of the Philadelphia athletics, is said to have his eye on Dr. H. L. Abernethy with a view to strengthening his team in left garden next season. Following is the line-up from which players and subs on each side will be chosen: Profession als—H. C. Menzies, captain and manager; Thos. M. Hufham, M. H. Yount, Prof. Barbe, W. A. Self, E. B. Menzies, W. H. Self, J. H. Shuford, A. A. Whitener, K. A. Price, E. B. Cline, F. M. Seagle. Business men—C. M. Sherrill, captain and manager; A. L. Moser, A. A> Shuford, Jr., J. L. Levi, J. H. P. Cilley, A. B. , Button, J. T. Setzer, W. L. Mar tin, W. S. Stroup, Luther Flanna gan, C. H. Cline. Admission, 25 cents. Umpire, Yoder. If rain interferes, the game will be played on Friday. Opening of the Graded School The Democrat's representative was on hand Monday morning to find out all about the ques tion which is of such para j mount importance to everybody in Hickory—the prospects of our ! graded school for the coming i year. We found everything looking promising and everybody a degree or so busier than the proverbial "bee in a tarbucket" Profs. Staley and Whisenhunt were each trying to be six men at once and all the young lady teachers were doing their best to attend to the needs of twenty five children in fiye minutes. We found out what was neces sary, and we know that the teach • ers for the present, will be as follows according to grade: Misses Ada Schenck, Ava Har ris, Annie Duke, Edna Hill, Louise Dixon, Eva Gum, Lela Miller. In the high school depart ment, which includes the Bth, 9th and 10th grades, Prof. A. P. Whisenhunt teaches mathe matics, Miss Gertrude Wilson Latin and History, Supt. C, M. Staley English and Science. On Monday, the first day school opened there were 481 pupils en rolled. By the end of,the week there will probably be over five hun dred. As to the instructors whose names have not been mentioned, our people already know the work that most of them have done and have every confidence in them as directors and teachers of their children. Their responsi bility is great, and they fully realize it Every effort will be made to keep our school fully up to the nigh standard of past years and to render it the equal of any in our State—that means a great deal. The teachers-de sire to watch the physical, as well as the mental development and health of their pupils, and there fore. the regulation hitherto mentioned in the Democrat in case of contagious diseases of children will be strictly enforced. It is matter for congratulation that there is nothing to fear on this point at present, one or two sporadic cases of scarlet fever, and these very mild, so far, be ing about all the sickness among children jn Hickory since the cooler weather set in.

AND tIAO 2 Mr. Cotterill Goes to Virginia. The Democrat regrets to noti fy its readers that Mr. R. S. Cot terill, who has been on our staff for some weeks, has accepted an offer of a professorship in Dublin Institute, Dublin, Va., which hie feels that he cannot refuse, in justice to himself. He will have the chair of Greek in that insti tution. While glad of any fortune that may come to Prof. Cotterill, we join his other friends in feeling that be will be a loss to Hickory. He is a modest, cul tured gentleman who will be lik ed and respected wherever he goes. He came here from Rus ton, La., a stranger, but has made warm friends here, whose best wishes go with him. Opening of Lenoir College. Lenoir College opened for the year 1908—'9 Wednesday. Rev. Miller opened with prayer and was followed by Prof. Fritz in a short address of welcome. After th e formal opening the new students remained for their assignment to classes, old students being dismissed for the day. There are 150 pupils, of whom about fifty are new comers. The facul ty are now all here. Prospects for the coming year are better than at any time before, more scholars are expected later in the term, and the friends of the institution are greatly encour aged over matters as the panic of the past year has affected educational affairs as well as all others.
